Chapter 39: Sneak in the World, Adventures in Urban Subway Stations
It's Monday again, early morning.
Zhou Yue prepared pet rations for the black cat and the rhinoceros, put on his schoolbag and ran into the subway station.
The incident between Chen Wenhua and the apostles has come to an end for him.
But for this city, the explosive news about the Apostle Group is destroying the originally quiet and low-key morning time in every corner of the city over and over again.
The horrifying scene of the beach shipyard being burned to ashes was played on the in-car TV.
The host vividly recounted how the agents of the Biological Investigation Bureau discovered various criminal evidence of the Apostle Group during the aftermath work.
Familiar passengers on the subway were also discussing this exciting incident.
Especially when they mentioned the mysterious organization the Avengers Alliance, which claimed to be responsible for the incident and had received the bounty offered by the Bureau of Investigation, many passengers showed happy smiles on their faces.
It is a sense of security that arises after being truly protected and valued.
Zhou Yue subconsciously raised his collar to hide the different emotions in his heart.
What boy doesn’t have a heroic dream?
Of course he is no exception.
Besides, this hero can be both safe and reap benefits, wouldn’t it be nice?
Yesterday afternoon, the reward amount of 100,000 federal coins was transferred to the account Shi Qing opened for him, and the money was transferred by him to his mother, who has not recovered yet.
Zhou Yue originally thought that the Biological Investigation Bureau would come to visit him, but it turned out that he thought too much.
The largest federal investigative agency could obviously find Zhou Yue by tracking accounts, but it pretended not to know anything about it, as if it was afraid of touching the edge of the city that was not protected by rules, so that various climactic storylines had been prepared and awaited by the federation.
Zhou Yue, who came to check the water meter from the Bureau of Investigation, was somewhat disappointed.
But this is fine, Zhou Yue can prepare for the next school training with peace of mind.
The next month is destined to be a new beginning.
The metro shuttles underground in the city.
During peak hours, countless complex smells and sounds entered Zhou Yue's mind along with the changing light and shadow outside the window.
At this time, Zhou Yue was following the suggestions of teachers Liu Hui and Shi Qing, calming down his mind and imagining that he was a monitor to receive external information and train his ability to sense the breath of all things.
As the telepathy value increases, Zhou Yue's sensing power has become much stronger than last week.
In less than two minutes, Zhou Yue had received, distinguished, and memorized hundreds of different thoughts, and the sensed thoughts had become more detailed.
Most of these breaths come from passengers on the subway. Each person's breath is completely different, like a person's fingerprint.
In addition, there are also thoughts about objects, such as water glasses, briefcases, lipsticks, etc.
The difference is that human beings' thoughts are bright and full of vitality.
The thoughts of these dead objects are as dim as ashes and lifeless.
Tens of thousands of thoughts formed a dynamic picture of light and dark intertwined thoughts in Zhou Yue's mind.
Zhou Yue also asked Shi Qing in a roundabout way that night. In the end, he came to the conclusion that no one except him could generate a "breathing animation".
"So, the breath dynamic map is another evolution of my sensitivity, which can help me sense the changes in the overall breath of the surrounding environment."
"And others can only sense partial thoughts at most."
When the subway was three stops away from the school, Zhou Yue's body suddenly trembled and he opened his eyes suddenly.
Just for a moment, the animation of his breath that he condensed was forcibly interrupted by an external force!
An instant later, Zhou Yue's breath induction continued again.
Everything went as usual in the subway, as if nothing had happened.
But Zhou Yue didn't think so.
The power just now was also a kind of breath.
But it neither comes from humans nor belongs to objects.
It is half light and half dark, as if between life and death, mysterious and full of temptation.
Absolutely extraordinary.
"Is it a miraculous creature?"
Zhou Yue quickly rejected this idea.
There are also restrictions on the cubs of miraculous creatures in the above-ground urban area.
For example, it is strictly forbidden to enter public transportation facilities such as subway stations, airports, and ferries without defensive measures. Just as practitioners are strictly prohibited from doing behaviors that may harm ordinary people, the Global Federation's protection policy for ordinary people has always been strict.
For no reason, Zhou Yue thought of the urban legend about the Line 0 subway.
There were still two stops away from the school. Zhou Yue stepped out of the subway and walked quickly in the opposite direction.
In the crowded one-way flow of people, Zhou Yue's abnormal behavior quickly attracted attention.
Not only the passengers, but also several security personnel not far away saw Zhou Yue walking against the current. They said a few words to each other, and two of them got up and walked towards Zhou Yue.
"stop."
"Where are you going?"
Zhou Yue secretly thought it was not good.
At this moment, something moved in his heart.
"Activate the spiritual skill [Sneaking in the Human World]."
…
In the dense flow of people, two subway station security guards stopped at the same time with strange expressions.
"Hey, where is the person? Lao Zhang, did we just see a high school student who went against the grain?"
"Yeah, why did she disappear in the blink of an eye? I'm only forty years old, shouldn't I have grown old so early?"
The two looked around with strange expressions, and did not notice that the young man walking in the opposite direction was approaching with a smile on his face.
The young man was clearly right in front of them, not invisible or disappearing, but he seemed to be in the blind spot of their vision, unable to see life or death.
Until Zhou Yue passed them by, the two security personnel still couldn't find the strange high school student, so they muttered something and returned to the monitoring post.
Zhou Yue walked through the dense crowd and breathed a sigh of relief.
"The human eye can see objects clearly by reflecting light onto the retina to create an image."
"[Sneaking in the human world] completely cuts off light and cannot be imaged on the retina, so it is naturally invisible."
"It's easy to analyze, but in fact it goes against the laws of everything in the world. It's like a black hole swallowing light. It's a truly outrageous skill."
In the tunnel away from the waiting area, Zhou Yue began to run forward.
Five or six minutes later, Zhou Yue found a secret fork in the road. After turning in, he saw an abandoned platform.
The light here is dim, but Zhou Yue can see everything around him clearly.
The improvement in physical fitness has obviously strengthened his visual function.
What surprised Zhou Yue was that there were already two people on the platform, a man and a woman.
The boy, like Zhou Yue, wore the uniform of Nanhe No. 2 Middle School.
The girls were wearing uniforms from another school.
The tall boy sat cross-legged in the darkness, like an ancient qigong master, meditating with his eyes closed.
The girl with a slender back leaned casually on the load-bearing pillar, wearing pink and white headphones, her head lowered, as if she was listening to music while waiting for the subway.
But this is just an abandoned abandoned platform. Where is the subway?
Zhou Yue knew in his heart that these two people should also have discovered the secret of the abandoned subway station in Nanhe City.
And looking at the postures of these two people, it seems that they don't interfere with each other.
