There was no more dead silence. The huge friction sound between the train and the track squeezed the eardrums hard. It suddenly went from extremely quiet to extremely noisy. Lu Mingfei's mind seemed to have a thousand bees flapping their wings at the same time, buzzing continuously.
.
The blade of Guanshi Zhengzong's knife pierced into the iron sheet. He was using this knife to support his body to prevent him from being suddenly thrown off the speeding train. The wind whistled in his ears, making a sharp tone. This was
At a speed exceeding 100 kilometers per hour, a normal person would be crushed to pieces by the huge kinetic energy if thrown off.
But Lu Mingfei is not a normal person. He is thinking about whether this train is heading to the mysterious country of the dead...
Suddenly a drop of water fell and burst onto Lu Mingfei's face.
He raised his head, and then there were more water drops. It seemed like it was raining in the sky, or the city was covered by heavy rain tonight, and the rain seemed to fall into his eyes from a point in the sky... But
This is a subway station. There is a thick rock formation above the head, which is more than twenty meters deep from the ground. Even the sulfuric acid in the sky should not penetrate to this position.
The heavy rain washed the tunnel and the train. The cold rain slapped on Lu Mingfei's body. The wind was also mixed with a strong chill. The strong wind blew on his face and chest, as if it wanted to tear his skin. The train went back and forth monotonously.
Vibration, he gradually got used to this frequency.
A piece of gravel fell from above his head, and Lu Mingfei narrowly avoided it. There was almost no light at the rear of the train. He was able to avoid it because of a special "sense of smell" that he had developed through missions again and again.
, can smell the coming danger.
The rock formations in the tunnel seemed to be unable to withstand the erosion of the flowing water and were collapsing, with more and more gravel falling. Lu Mingfei turned over and told the top of the moving train that Guanshi Zhengzong penetrated deeper. He pulled hard and then horizontally.
Cut, the iron sheet was lifted up to create an entrance the size of a person, he jumped up and landed smoothly in the carriage.
The carriage was pitch black, and the place was enveloped in rich blackness and dead silence. It was even more eerie than an empty platform. The flashlight I carried with me came in handy, and the pale light shot out, hitting the floor, rusting the seats and handrails.
mottled.
Lu Mingfei has ridden on every subway line in the entire city repeatedly in the past few days. He has almost stepped on every train. These expensive steel beasts are maintained at scheduled times every day, and they are as clean as new. They have never been seen anywhere.
One would be so dilapidated...it looked like it had been abandoned for hundreds of years.
He held a flashlight and walked step by step deeper into the carriage, his footsteps creaking on the old iron sheets. The deeper into the darkness, the worse the lighting effect of the flashlight became, as if even the light was being swallowed up.
He seemed to have walked from modern times to ancient times, where time was muddy and void.
Withered bones began to appear in front of his eyes, and there were more and more bones. They were human bones and animal bones. If he stepped on them, they would break with the slightest touch. Lu Mingfei bent down and crushed up a dust of withered bones. They were already weathered. It looked like these creatures were dead.
At least for hundreds of years!
Did they die here because they were all trapped in the Nibelung and couldn't find an exit? Or...
Lu Mingfei's eyes flashed, as if a dark shadow flashed past the skull in front of him. It was too dark here to see clearly.
Lu Mingfei stood up and raised the aperture of the flashlight, and a twisted straight line appeared diagonally above. He squinted and saw that it was the station map of City Line 1, with dense small characters marking each station.
name, but the station map screen is dim and does not show which two stations the train travels between.
Slowly scanning the entire site, Lu Mingfei's pupils shrank when his eyes fixed on the last site.
BJ Metro Line 1 runs from Pingguoyuan to Sihuidong. Many years ago, Sihui Station was called Bawangfen Station. At that time, Fuxingmen to Bawangfen was also called "Fuba Line", but the name was soon changed.
...At this time, the terminal station on the station map in front of Lu Mingfei was called "Eight Kings Tomb"!
But the name change happened at least thirty years ago!
Could this subway be a... ghost train that traveled from thirty years ago?
Suddenly, Lu Mingfei's pupils suddenly shrank to a point, and his body froze suddenly. When the bright aperture of the flashlight hit the reflection of the site screen, he saw faint golden light spots...
Not one, not ten...but hundreds or even thousands! There are countless dark golden spots in the white light...just like the dense golden light hidden under the pure lake surface, and pairs of peeping eyes.
!
Lu Mingfei naturally moved the aperture of the flashlight upward, his head drooped, and he glanced downward, but he could only see pitch black.
But the iron roof panel should be very reflective. Even if it is covered with rust and stains, it shouldn't be so dim... The light has been swallowed up by something!
Lu Mingfei did not choose to look directly at those things. He kept the flashlight pointing upwards and looked at the glass of the train with his peripheral vision. A loud "dong dong" sound gradually grew louder, like a drum beating in this silent semi-enclosed space.
Like...that was Lu Mingfei's heartbeat.
Suppose you are walking in an empty train carriage, exploring the era that this ghostly train comes from. You have walked a long way, but you don’t know that there are countless pairs of eyes above your head peeping at you, silently.
The sound. When the light shines on it, those eyes shine with a strange golden light, and anyone's heart will beat violently...
Even cardiac arrest!
Lu Mingfei suddenly understood how the creatures trapped here under his feet died tragically!
It turned out that the dome of the train was full of monsters. They had dark golden eyes, hanging upside down on Lu Mingfei's head. They had been extinguished before, but now they were awakened by fresh flesh and blood, and they opened their eyes in rows.
The bones on their bodies are as thin as fly legs, with extremely thin membranes stuck between the skeletons. Their wing tips have sharp claws with five fingers like human hands, and their nails are as sharp as the blade of a Japanese sword. Their whole body is shining with beauty.
The bronze luster looks like a collection of giant bats and reptiles.
The breath of death woven patterns on their bodies, beautiful and ferocious. Lu Mingfei knew what kind of creature this was. Caesar's spirit was named after this monster-like creature. He also realized why from the moment he entered the train to
I haven't heard a sound now, because these guys are experts in controlling sound...
Kamaitachi!
This monster should not exist in the world, but now it appears above Lu Mingfei's head, a train full of monsters, no, a whole nest! Lu Mingfei broke into their lair!
The sickles and ferrets above the head stared at them with eager eyes, and Guanshi Zhengzong was held tightly in his hands. Lu Mingfei raised his head and looked at those ugly bone birds. The eyes of those guys' skulls were shining with the golden color of longing. Lu Mingfei suddenly realized that they
Where does the desire in his eyes come from... They are longing for him. He is the only living person here, with fresh blood flowing in his body. These monsters suck blood!
They want to use Lu Mingfei's flesh and blood as nourishment and turn him into a part of the withered bones on the ground!
The bright light of the sword flashed in his hand, and Lu Mingfei's eyes narrowed slightly. The sickles and weasels seemed to hear the subtle sound of the blade cutting the air, and had a premonition of the sharp danger below, and they were like frightened birds.
They opened their fan-like bone wings and exposed their sharp teeth. I don't know which one let out a hiss first, and then hundreds of sickles and weasels responded one after another. Thousands of bat-like shadows flashed in all directions.
, their wings whipped up gusts of blade-like wind, and their screams were shrill, like crying and cheering.
Lu Mingfei's scalp went numb when he saw this sight of the chirping weasels. Although one of these things could probably be killed with one knife, they couldn't handle the large number. These guys were coming in overwhelming numbers, even if every sickle and weasel was just behind him.
After a sip of blood on his body, the blood in his body was not enough for these guys to share, and he was sucked into him in minutes!
Just as Lu Mingfei took a deep breath and prepared to swing his knife, a huge object fell on the roof of the train, and the rock formations of the tunnel suddenly collapsed! A deep depression was made on the top of the train, and just as Lu Mingfei entered
The piece of iron sheet that was lifted during the train.
Countless weasels swarmed in, biting the iron sheet with their sharp claws and fangs, enlarging the entrance the size of a person, revealing a huge skeleton. The rest of the weasels screamed, as if calling for friends.
, more and more black shadows flew over, they flapped their wings desperately, and slowly lifted the huge thing that fell on the top of the train to the ground, like holding up a huge throne.
"What the hell!"
Lu Mingfei was dumbfounded. It turned out that they were not going to attack him. Although these big bat-like guys had not eaten for decades or centuries and were extremely thirsty for blood, there was something far better than sucking blood.
More important things...
pilgrimage!
This huge commotion was not caused by Lu Mingfei at all, but by the weasels who were greeting their queen. Only those with the noblest bloodline deserved priority in the tributes... and Lu Mingfei was the most sacred tribute!
The huge skeleton was sent to the ground in front of Lu Mingfei. Her body was so huge that when she spread her wings, the seats and armrests on both sides were squeezed and twisted. The silver bones were cast into her body.
The facial bones and two dark eye holes lit up with a breathtaking golden light.
This guy has nine skulls and nine slender cervical vertebrae, like a long-necked dragon. She roared, and different sounds sounded from each head, some were as crisp as copper bells, and some were like male voices.
Low, some as sad as evil ghosts... The sickles and weasels excitedly flapped their bone wings around these nine huge heads, but the golden light in the bone sockets stayed on Lu Mingfei, screaming excitedly that they were about to enjoy fresh food.
, like a vulture that has found carrion.
"Have you ever seen my two classmates, a boy and a girl? The boy is about the same height as me and looks like a stinker; the girl should be wearing a white skirt, white socks and white shoes, dressed like a white lotus...
...But you probably haven’t seen White Lotus before.” Lu Mingfei looked at Queen Weasel, he pointed at the pile of dead bones on the ground, and said in a serious tone, “You probably won’t tell me that they are hiding in this pile, right?
?”
Queen Kamaita's nine heads tilted to both sides, and doubtful light flashed in the depths of her nine skulls wearing silver masks, like a child lost in thought.
"You still tilt your head...you are not cute at all when you act cute, okay?" Lu Mingfei twitched the corner of his mouth, "I know you understand human speech, and I am asking questions seriously, so don't pretend to be stunned. What if?
You saw them and asked me to point them in the direction, but if you eat them... we have to settle the score, right?"
This is why Lu Mingfei is so anxious to come in here. If it is just Xia Mi's matter, he would prefer to solve it outside. After all, the Nibelungen is their home field, but Chen Wenwen and Zhao Menghua were involved for no reason.
This country of the dead... is like two big fat sheep caught in a pack of wolves. Lu Mingfei is worried that the meat of the two guys with thin arms and thin legs will not be enough for the wolves here!
The nine huge heads of Queen Kamaita suddenly made a sound, using nine different tones, but the meaning was the same.
She is laughing!
All the weasels were surrounding their queen with laughter, overwhelming and shrill. Lu Mingfei could not understand the meaning of their laughter, but he could feel the sound converging into a cold air wave, sweeping in from all directions.
"I understand, is this your answer? Then am I being treated like a fool?" Lu Mingfei calmed down all his expressions, and reversed his view of the world, and he made a starting move that showed his current flow.
To capture the thief first, capture the king. He was going to take down the huge and ugly monster with one move... As for the other little monsters, he would kill as many as he could at that time.
Suddenly, a rustling sound of electricity flashed through the rusted loudspeaker system, followed by a childish voice.
"The subway has arrived at the station, Black Stone... The subway has arrived at the station, Black Stone... Passengers who want to get off, please prepare..."
Lu Mingfei was stunned. Does this broken car still retain the function of voice broadcast? The announcer sounds like a naive little kid?
Queen Weasel seemed to be stimulated by this sound. She neighed and flew towards Lu Mingfei lightly. She spread her long bone wings to cover Lu Mingfei, forming a bone cage.
The sharp back claws turned like blades, and the sharp teeth under the silver bone surface gently brushed Lu Mingfei's neck, as if telling the intimate whispers between lovers. She wrapped her body tightly around Lu Mingfei, wrapping him in her body
Soaring up in the giant woven cage...like a hunter catching a trapped beast, but also like an angel embracing redemption.
…
Chu Zihang slowly opened his eyes, his eyelids were heavy, and he actually fell asleep lying on the table. He was probably awakened by the sound of rain outside. The heavy rain slapped the portholes, accompanied by the dull roar of thunder. This summer's rain
There seemed to be so many, so many that something was wrong, so many that he vaguely felt as if something big was about to happen.
The computer screen was still on, with countless characters flashing rapidly on it. It was the analysis of seismic data. Before going to bed, he wrote four complex equations and used mathematical modeling methods to try to filter out the clutter in the city.
Three have now failed and one is still being calculated.
He looked around the room and found that Fingel was no longer there.
