The eighth day of the mission rest period is night.
In the bedroom, the ticket vibrated suddenly, disturbing Ye Wei who was about to take a rest. She subconsciously took out the ticket and looked closely. She saw a large text message on the front of the ticket, a message notification that she had never seen before.
Notice: The hell train will stop at the next station at 14:30 tomorrow afternoon. New performers will board the train at that time. Please prepare the team leader to welcome him. The specific rules are as follows...
………
Early in the morning on the ninth day of the mission rest period, Peng Hu was in his room.
The bald man has now gotten up. He first puts on a black vest as he habitually puts it on. After putting it on briefly, he goes to the washroom and touches more and more thick stubble in the mirror. After a slight hesitation, he picks up the shaver.
knife.
Unexpectedly, I just applied shaving cream on my face...
Boom, boom, boom!
There was a series of knocks on the door outside the living room.
"Damn it! I'm not even allowed to shave my beard!"
Peng Hu was extremely dissatisfied with the sudden interruption. He murmured casually and saw that the knocking on the door never stopped. He reluctantly picked up a towel and wiped his face, then strode to the living room door. Yes, there was no need to ask outside the door.
Who is it? Anyway, there are only three people in the whole train at the moment. There is no need to think about it. The person knocking on the door is either He Fei or Ye Wei. According to Peng Hu’s personal guess, He Fei is the most likely. After all, Ye Wei is a very cold goddess.
How could someone with his personality come to his place?
However, nothing is absolute. He opened the door and saw He Fei outside the door as expected. The first thing that caught his eye was an exquisite face.
Ye Wei!?
As usual, except for supernatural missions, Ye Wei, who has always been very good at dressing up the rest of the time, changed her clothes again today. This time she dressed up as a lady in a Gothic style. The black jacket matched the woman's perfect figure.
He can kill most female stars in an instant. Of course, although the beauty is eye-catching, the bald man who knows Ye Wei's abilities will not think much about it. Instead, his expression froze when he found out that the person outside the door was Ye Wei. The reason is very simple.
Because he really didn't expect that the other party would come to him, or...
Why come to him?
As the saying goes, don't go to the Three Treasures Palace for nothing. If He Fei, who has a good relationship with him, comes to him to chat, then why does Ye Wei, who usually doesn't pay much attention to others, come to him? To chat? How is that possible? Think of it.
Here, with suspicion, the bald man took the lead and asked: "Huh? Ye Wei? Come on..."
"Now, as the captain, I will arrange a job for you, regarding the welcome of newcomers."
"I thought about it for a long time last night. Although it's not impossible for He Fei to do this, I personally think it might be more appropriate for you to do this work. Last night I received a notification from Curse.
Is such that……"
………
Boom, boom!
Accompanied by ear-piercing roars and vibrations on the rails, in a dark and lightless environment, a subway train was traveling along the rails at high speed. The train had neither a driver nor any signs, and no one knew where it was headed.
…
Time, 14:07 pm, Hell Train Car No. 3.
After lunch and a short nap, He Fei opened the door and entered the carriage. He first glanced at the doors on both sides and hesitated for a moment. The young man walked to one of the doors and knocked on it. That was Peng Hu's room.
, it was obvious that when he had nothing to do, he planned to ask the other party if he had redeemed the props. After all, he had already discovered that the bald man showed far more interest in the prop cabinet than the others.
Of course, these are just reasons, the key point is to come out and get some fresh air. Although He Fei also has some otaku potential, staying in his personal room for several days in a row still makes the young man a little bored.
But strangely, as the knocking continued for about a minute, there was still no response from the door. Seeing this, He Fei was a little surprised. After all, with Peng Hu's carefree character, he would definitely not find someone knocking on the door.
Don't open the door unless the other party has something to do or is not in the room.
(Huh? Are you really not in the room?)
After it was generally confirmed that no one was in the room, the young man rushed to Car No. 1 as soon as possible. He originally thought that the bald man would go to the prop cabinet and stare and drool like he did earlier. However, after searching for a while, he found Car No. 1 and No. 2.
There was no figure of the other party in the carriage at all. Seeing this, He Fei became more and more suspicious, and subconsciously turned around to enter the No. 4 carriage. It was not until he arrived here and entered the carriage that the missing burly figure appeared in his field of vision.
At this moment, I saw Peng Hu, who was still wearing a black vest, sitting on the passenger chair with his legs crossed and puffing out smoke. The whole carriage was filled with smoke and the smell was a bit strong. Who knows which one it was?
Seeing He Fei appear, the bald man first grinned, raised his hand and said, "Hey, you kid is not staying in your room, why are you here? Come on, sit down."
"Brother Peng, I should be the one to ask you this, right? Why did you go to the No. 4 carriage if you didn't stay in your room? Is it just for a puff of smoke? You can't smoke in your own room?"
As soon as the bald man said this, He Fei, who had been familiar with the man for a long time, immediately refuted the words.
The bald man didn't pay attention to the young man's teasing. Instead, he casually took out a box of cigarettes and handed them to He Fei.
"Come on, brother, smoke one."
Maybe it was the first time someone handed him a cigarette, or maybe he had never smoked before. Seeing the cigarette being handed to him, He Fei shook his head in embarrassment and said, "Um, Brother Peng, I'm not very good at..."
"What? No?"
After hearing that the other party said he didn't smoke, and after stroking his stubble, the bald man asked: "If you don't smoke, will you drink?"
"Well, I won't..."
"Hahaha!"
As soon as He Fei finished his answer, Peng Hu burst into laughter. Before the young man's embarrassment could end, he immediately changed the topic and said a great truth: "Brother, you must know that this man often has two major hobbies.
Smoking and drinking, you have to have at least one of them. Drinking aside, you have to smoke cigarettes. To tell you the truth, although smoking is harmful to health, it can effectively relieve stress when you are mentally depressed.
, come on, come on, smoke one, it feels very good, just try it and you will know.”
In the end, due to Peng Hu's insistence and the fact that he sounded really fascinated, He Fei took out a cigarette from the cigarette case and put it in his mouth, took the lighter and lit it, and then took a deep breath like the other man did...
Then...
"Cough! Cough! Damn it! This smoke is really choking, cough, cough, cough..."
"Hey, don't worry, once you learn it, you'll get familiar with it, you'll learn it after you pump it a few times!"
As expected, He Fei, who was smoking for the first time, coughed violently. Peng Hu patted the young man's shoulder with satisfaction. Before he could continue to speak, He Fei waved his hand. Maybe he thought of something during this period and brought his thoughts back on track. He let out a long breath.
In a tone of voice, the young man asked: "By the way, Brother Peng, what are you doing here?"
"What else can I do? Welcome new people. The train is about to pull into the station, and new people will board the train soon. This is a task Ye Wei assigned me in the morning. She said I am very suitable for this job."
Peng Hu, who has a straightforward personality, immediately told the truth truthfully. However, He Fei couldn't help being stunned when he heard the words "Welcome the newcomers". Yes, of course he would not be surprised that the newcomers entered the cursed space. After all, he and Peng Hu
Both Hu and Hu came here as newcomers before. In his personal impression, newcomers would only appear at the beginning of the supernatural mission. However, the next mission hasn't started yet? Why are there newcomers before the mission starts?
Yes? And what does it mean to welcome new people?
In fact, are He Fei's doubts not Peng Hu's doubts? In other words, when he learned about this from Ye Wei a few hours ago, his reaction was exactly the same as that of He Fei. It wasn't until the other party explained the matter clearly that the bald man
It was a sudden realization.
Sure enough, seeing He Fei's puzzled expression, Peng Hu knew everything he could and tried to explain it to him.
Peng Hu's explanation was very brief and easy to understand. It turns out that after the self-defense executor was transferred from the subway station to the hell train, not only the environment changed, but also the way in which new people entered changed. In the past, new people entered when the mission started.
But in Hell Train, newcomers will enter before the supernatural mission is released. As a result, Ye Wei, as the team leader, cannot ignore this matter in any case, and someone in the team must be responsible for welcoming and guiding newcomers to board the train.
The matter is not complicated, the situation is equally simple. As soon as Peng Hu finished speaking, He Fei understood everything. Not only that, because he has always been good at analysis, through understanding this matter, while thinking about it, He Fei couldn't help but think again.
Reminiscent of some earlier speculation, that is, the question that he had thought about when he first entered the train.
That is, does the appearance of supernatural props mean that future missions will become more difficult!?
At first, He Fei was just skeptical, but today he heard that even the entry method for newcomers has changed. Gradually, the college student became more and more sure, confirming the intention of the curse and confirming that his personal guess would most likely become reality!
The logic is simple:
If the difficulty of the mission is really increased, it will be very dangerous for newcomers who know nothing to enter the mission at the beginning. Needless to say, the mortality rate caused by ignorance is not to mention. Therefore, in order to increase the survival rate of newcomers and balance the difficulty of the mission, let newcomers enter the mission.
If you enter the train in advance and receive explanations and guidance from senior people, this arrangement will definitely be much better.
Perhaps this is the actual intention of the curse.
As for why Ye Wei insisted on choosing Peng Hu to be in charge of welcoming new members...
With suspicion in his mind, he raised his head again. When he saw the vicious face and the oppressive burly body on the other side, a smile gradually appeared on the originally solemn and thoughtful face of the young man.
, the bald man was confused when he saw it.
He Fei not only smiled, but also nodded to Peng Hu with a smile and said: "Brother Peng, I finally understand why Sister Ye Wei insisted on letting you come here to do the greeting work this morning. Indeed,
You are indeed much more suitable for this than me."
"Damn it! Is there something in your words?"
Peng Hu is not an idiot. In fact, when He Fei said this to him, he basically guessed the meaning. To be honest, Peng Hu didn't care about his appearance. After all, his appearance was given to him by his parents.
What method? What's more, he has a tough guy style and has never taken this matter to heart. In response to the young man's teasing, the bald man was about to refute, but unexpectedly He Fei had already touched his head and changed the subject: "Huh? That's right.
, I almost forgot, Brother Peng, you just mentioned the rules for newbies boarding the train and it seems that the word 'Hai Chao' was mentioned, what is Hao Chao?"
"You ask me? Who should I ask? Anyway, when Ye Wei arranged the task for me in the morning, she only mentioned it briefly without explaining it. She only reminded me to let the newcomers board the train as soon as possible within 15 minutes. However, in my personal opinion, that's not the case.
'Hai Chao' is probably not a good thing."
Seeing the bald man shaking his head to express his ignorance, He Fei didn't ask any more questions and continued to think about the deeper intention of the curse.
Coincidentally, just when the two were thinking about each other, they discovered that the car lights outside the window suddenly turned on, and when the lights turned on, the ground under their feet gradually began to tremble.
Anyone who is familiar with the subway knows that subway trains often vibrate most violently when starting and stopping. At this moment, when they saw the lights around the car come on and the ground under their feet began to shake, no one needed to remind them that the two people in the car were already shaking.
It was when they both realized that the car body was slowing down and the train was about to stop!
Rumble…
The result was exactly as expected. During the silence between the two, as the roar of the subway became louder and things gradually became clear outside the window, the two not only confirmed their suspicions, but looked down at their watches and saw that the time had reached 14:27.
Minutes, there are only three minutes left before the train stops at 14:30 as Ye Wei said.
………
Boom, boom, boom...
The headlights cut through the darkness, and the field of vision gradually became clearer. When the time reached half-past, the roar disappeared, the vibration disappeared, and the train stopped. After a closer look through the window, I found that the external environment was really familiar. No, it shouldn't be used.
To describe it as "familiar", "impressive" might be more appropriate.
The reason is that what is outside the car is nowhere else but a subway platform!
At this moment, through the window and with the help of car lights, I saw the outside scene of a subway station platform. Although the environment was dark, under the illumination of the car lights, it was still clear that this place was a standard waiting platform.
The appearance was basically the same as when they first boarded the train a few days ago.
This should be another subway platform, and the Hell Train once again stopped next to the platform.
Barla!
At the same time, just as He Fei and the two were looking out the window, a sudden harsh sound was heard, and the compartment door opened automatically.
(Sure enough, it turned out to be true. The train stopped and the door opened exactly as it was when the three of us boarded the train. If so, then...)
"He Fei, just watch from here, I will take care of the rest."
Back to the topic, as the cabin door opened, Peng Hu, who had already learned the details from Ye Wei, did not hesitate. When the car door opened, he stood up and left his seat. After the young man said something, he strode out of the car door. He Fei followed.
He nodded knowingly and turned to lie by the window and look out at the outside world.
After walking out of the train and arriving at the door, he looked around and saw that there was indeed an empty platform in front of him. Although the darkness surrounding him blocked his vision, Peng Hu could still confirm that the scene in his eyes was basically the same as when the three of them boarded the train. In his field of vision, the platform was empty.
There was no one around, and it was pitch black in the distance. Except for a certain area around the train where you could barely see anything, you couldn't see anything else.
Fortunately, the doubts did not last long. Less than half a minute later, a series of chaotic footsteps sounded. As the footsteps got closer and closer, before long, several panic-looking men and women walked through the darkness and arrived at the platform.
.
Obviously, these people are most likely the new people boarding the train this time. They were selected by a curse, and then were swept into the closed subway station by a hurricane. So far, there is no possibility of leaving, and the reason why these people rushed there
The platform must have been attracted by the roar and lights of the cars.
Peng Hu saw everything clearly, and He Fei saw everything clearly. At the same time, the men and women who were getting closer and closer had also arrived dozens of meters away from the train. They were all looking ahead with vigilant eyes.
The train, together with the strange bald man beside the train who didn't look like a good guy at all.
Similarly, all the newcomers saw Peng Hu, why didn’t Peng Hu see the newcomers?
At this moment, with the help of the vehicle body lights, I saw a total of 5 people on the other side, four men and one woman.
Among them is a middle-aged man wearing a blue coat. The man has an ordinary appearance and looks to be about 40 years old. He is currently staring at the train with a look of fear. Next to him are two young people, both of whom are dressed in different clothes and appear to be of different ages.
They are neither old, only in their early twenties at most. They are similar to the frightened and nervous middle-aged people. In addition to being equally uneasy and scared, they may be worried about being unable to leave the subway station. Regardless of how many people the train has attracted, they can
In fact, the two of them still looked down at their phones from time to time, seemingly confused and troubled by the loss of signal.
There is no doubt that the two of them must have asked for help earlier and tried to ask for help from the outside world through the phone. After all, the subway station was completely blocked. When they were desperate, they could only use their mobile phones to ask for help. Unfortunately, this was meaningless. The cursed space blocked all communications.
Signal, trying to get through the mobile phone here is just a dream, so it is said, and the result is true. Seeing that the mobile phone has no signal from beginning to end, the two of them become more and more panicked.
Let’s not talk about how the two young men were doing useless work. They continued to shift their gaze and saw the only woman standing on the right. The woman was not very old. Judging from her appearance, she was also in her early twenties. She was the same as the two on the right.
The young men were about the same age, maybe a few years older at most. They might have been frightened by the strange environment in the subway station. Although they had arrived at the platform, the woman still looked frightened. She was also staring at the unexpectedly approaching train while driving.
Shivering.
Of course, not everyone behaved so badly. At least one man among the five people reacted calmly after the initial panic. This man was not only the first among everyone to look at the train, but also the first to notice Peng.
He is a tiger man, and it is worth mentioning that this man has a good appearance. With his appearance as a man, I believe that his first impression on most people will not be bad. Yes, this man looks to be around twenty-seven or eighty-eight years old.
Around the age of 10, he wears a neat suit and has a very friendly and gentle face. He wears a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, giving him an overall impression of gentleness.
Especially when he found a strange bald man standing next to the train, although the man was a little surprised, he quickly calmed down again and his eyes immediately changed from observing the train to observing the bald man.
Perhaps out of personal habit, while observing Peng Hu, during the silence, the man subconsciously stretched out his hand to adjust the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose...
