Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse-Chapter 839 - 507: Returning to My Home on Earth!

Quickly! Because he doesn’t know how much longer he can stay here!

He might be going back soon!

He must hurry home before that!

His last memory in this world is of sleeping at home.

At that time, he had been accepted for graduate studies but school had not yet started, so he spent almost every day at home.

Back then, he found his parents’ nagging really annoying.

But now, all he can think about is home.

His father, his mother, and his little sister who is still in high school!

For the first time, he jumped the subway turnstile, stepping over the barrier to enter the station.

He had no choice, for he didn’t have any card to swipe right now.

...Speaking of which, the cameras shouldn’t be able to capture him, right?

As he rushed down, a train happened to arrive.

The doors opened wide, and countless office workers poured out.

Xu Xin ignored them completely, walked right through them, and entered the train.

Then, he stood casually in the subway car.

Because this station is surrounded by office buildings, it’s a peak time for people to get off at this station, so the subway is now almost empty.

He randomly picked a spot in the corner to sit down, and the train started moving toward his home.

A long fifteen minutes.

It truly felt like an eternity.

Xu Xin feared that he might disappear the next second, and was also somewhat afraid of seeing the gloom at home due to his disappearance.

But he must go home!

He calmed his mind a bit, and since he couldn’t do anything else now, he began to ponder over the current situation.

Right now, he was certain, he indeed came back.

The only difference in this world for him is that others can’t see him or touch him anymore.

Yet he is able to touch the buildings and moving trains of this world.

This is truly a strange phenomenon.

It appears that the problem isn’t with this world, but with himself.

It must have something to do with the Crystal Palace!

...

Soon, the subway arrived at his stop, he dashed out and ran towards home.

Familiar streets, familiar neighborhood entrance, familiar security guard.

Except, this time he couldn’t greet the security guard. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

Arriving at the door, Xu Xin tried to use facial recognition to open it.

Unfortunately, his face didn’t appear in the facial recognition system, so it couldn’t be recognized, and the door naturally didn’t open.

As expected, the cameras couldn’t capture him.

He was like an invisible existence to this world!

Luckily, there were many people coming out of the community at this time, when others opened the door, he sneaked in directly.

Familiar building, familiar greenery, he even encountered familiar faces.

The neighbor across the hall, who was getting ready for work.

Watching the neighbor walk past him, he felt an urge to cry.

After experiencing so much life and death in that world, everything here touched him.

Even though he hadn’t spoken much with the neighbor, at most just greeted in the elevator to avoid awkwardness by chatting about the weather, but seeing this face now... it felt so intimate!

The neighbor hadn’t changed, surely his home hasn’t changed either!

Arriving downstairs, the unit door was constantly open, he walked through it and pressed the elevator button.

The elevator door opened, he entered and pressed the button for his floor.

The flow of these actions was unimpeded.

Wonder if the watchful building management seeing the elevator open automatically and the floor lighting up will think the elevator is malfunctioning.

The elevator ascended, stopped, and the door opened.

Xu Xin stepped out of the elevator, glanced at the familiar door to the right, he was too excited to speak.

He was even more excited than facing life and death in that other world!

However, he soon realized a problem.

"...I..."

Xu Xin helplessly discovered that he couldn’t open the door.

Judging by the situation on the street, today must be a weekday, so his parents should have gone to work.

As for his sister, she was even less likely to be home.

She was a high schooler, although just in sophomore year, her studies were extremely busy, and she lived in school dormitories.

Even when Xu Xin was home, he would only see her back on Sundays, for the rest of the week she stayed at school.

Therefore, normally there wouldn’t be anyone at home at this time.

Judging by the amount of time he had been missing, even if his family had been worried sick, they couldn’t possibly have failed to resume normal life by now.

...So, rushing home like this seems... rather pointless?

Waiting at the door, what a...

Just then, a familiar voice came from within, startling him greatly.

"Xu Ying, open the door for me!"

Someone!

It was his mother’s voice!

Mom!

Tears welled up in his eyes.

Home! There’s someone at home!

"Yingying’s home too..." Xu Xin, although curious why the two were still at home, was nevertheless happy.

Xu Ying is his sister.

After she was about to start high school, she became very rebellious, somewhat annoying, during the time Xu Xin was home, he often quarreled with her, this continued till he left.

"No! I won’t!" As expected, a slightly rebellious voice came through the door.

He used to be tired of hearing this voice, but now it made him smile unconsciously.
