Chapter 48: V3C25: What Should I Be Anxious When They Were Around? (2)
“Okay.”
“Good, Nainai’s small class is over~ Then let’s go!”
When we got on the subway, it was almost six o’clock. It didn’t take too long to take Line 4 at the station near our school to the terminal, which was only more than 20 minutes.
Depending on the time, if all went well, we should be able to come back before eight in the evening…
To be honest, I didn’t want to stay in that place too late.
What if something happened… Supposed there would be nothing taking place.
I looked at the girls around me and suddenly felt my worries were really unnecessary.
With them around me, what was I afraid of?
When we were about to reach the terminal, only we were left in the carriage. Actually, there were not many people taking Line 4, so there were almost no people left near the terminal.
“It’s almost the time. Let’s do it together!”
“Mm-Hmm.” “Understood.” “Got it.”
“See you later, Cheng.”
I nodded to Moe Bing, took out my ticket, and then tore it twice.
But it was really quite hilarious to take ‘tearing the tickets’ as the key. There was indeed a smell of danger floating in the air from the beginning to the end… I threw!
Boom! Rub-a-dub!
The carriage suddenly jolted fiercely, and there came several aftershocks. Soon, all the lights in the carriage went out.
The whole carriage was so dark that you couldn’t even see your own fingers. All the lights were got out. If I hadn’t been psychologically prepared, I would definitely panic.
After a few seconds, the lights in the carriage were finally on again, but outside the window… it was utter darkness.
The sound of ‘oh~oh~oh~’ came to my ears; it sounded like wind but not wind, howling but not howling.
At the same time, there came the jingling of old bike bells.
The information on the electronic board of station announcement became completely unreadable codes, and all of those advertising posters on the subway became pure white.
Were all of these specifically designed to frighten people? Really, really boring…
The subway stopped several times midway, and outside the door were empty stations.
One after another, the stations outside became more and more dilapidated. I also vaguely saw some ‘things’ outside, but none of those ‘things’ entered the carriage, and I did not get off.
My goodness! This place was much more terrifying than I imagined…
Swallowing some saliva, I no longer dared to look casually out the window, lest I would stare right into the eyes of those messy things…
Then about ten minutes later, the subway stopped again, but this time it didn’t restart later.
The subway used to stay for no more than 30 seconds after each stop, but this time it didn’t restart after several minutes.
Was this the terminal?
I got up from my seat, walked to the opened door and observed the situation outside.
However, as soon as I walked near the door and before I had time to check carefully, I heard the sound of a stranger coming from behind.
“As for you, just get off here.”
“What?”
Then I felt a thrust on my back, making me rush out. After being pushed out of the carriage, I quickly stood up and turned around, only to find a man dressed as the captain.
I hurried over, intending to go back to the carriage, but the door closed at a much faster speed than usual. When I got to the door, it was completely closed, and no gap was left.
I banged on the window, shouting dissatisfiedly.
“What are you doing?! I haven’t decided to get off here!”
Who knew if this was the terminal!
Pulling the brim of his hat, he turned around—it seemed that he originally intended to just walk away, but upon hearing what I said, he stopped and turned around, looking at me.
What I saw was… a skull!
【Captain Skull (Awakened)】
This guy turned out to be a skeleton!
“… She is waiting for you.”
“Ah? Who is waiting for me? What are you talking about!”
I continuously asked, but the skull did not get back to me anymore and just walked away. Then the subway restarted, and I had no choice but to step back.
“Wait, wait!”
The subway did not stop because of my cry and soon disappeared into the distance, leaving me standing alone like a fool at the station with no one.
“Here… where on earth am I…”
Nearby, there was nothing but this abandoned station.
And this station… No, in fact this couldn’t be called a station; it is at most a stop.
As for the reason, it was because the place where I was now was no longer ‘underground’.
Where I had arrived was actually a plain. The grass was uneven and the color was dark green.
The time was only half past six, but the place was already dark, quiet and gloomy.
In the air was the smell of decay.
The wind was howling coldly, and from time to time, the rustling of the grass in the wind could be heard.
It was said that narrow places would make people uneasy and then frightened, but now it seemed… empty places were not reassuring, either.
