Chapter 23 In the Dark

"At present, the subway needs to stop here for a period of time due to failure, and technicians are investigating the cause of the failure, please be patient, thank you." From the horn in the carriage, the driver's voice came out, mixed with the sound of electricity, which was not really heard, but he could understand what he said.

At first, the passengers were complaining, but after a while, everyone stopped talking.

In the carriage, where there were not many people, except for a few whispered conversations, there was no other sound, and the entire confined space instantly fell silent.

A few minutes ago, the miserable white face outside the car window was still vivid, Xu Nanxing was vigilant around, for fear that she would scare herself if she appeared again; And Gao Qingzhu beside him was indifferent.

The car stopped, and the ventilation system inside the car seemed to be broken.

"It's hot." Xu Nanxing tugged at his collar, and a few drops of sweat slid down the line of his neck to his collarbone and submerged into his shirt.

Gao Qingzhu also reached out and wiped it, wiping fine sweat from his forehead, and his black hair was sticky to his cheeks due to his wet face.

She took out a rubber band from her pocket, skillfully pulled up her long hair, and tied the hanging strand of hair to the back of her head, which instantly refreshed a lot.

"It's the end of the year, why is it still so hot." I only heard Xu Nanxing complaining on the side.

It is true that it is the end of the year, and it is not supposed to be hot, but after all, it is underground, and it is in the subway car, and the ventilation system is damaged, so it is impossible not to be stuffy or hot.

The people around them complained because of the boring environment, just like Xu Nanxing, some of them couldn't stand the heat, so they took off their coats directly, and some of them were already afraid of the heat, and they only took off a single piece of clothing.

"I always feel ...... Something isn't quite right......" Gao Qingzhu looked around.

Xu Nanxing found a useless advertising list out of nowhere, and fanned it "with a bang": "This temperature is really not right." ”

As he spoke, he removed the dark sweatshirt, leaving only a black short-sleeved shirt attached to his body.

"You really like dark clothes." Gao Qingzhu found that from the first time he saw him to the present, Xu Nanxing didn't seem to be wearing light-colored clothes, and whenever he saw him, he always showed people in black, cool and cool, but he always felt that there was a lack of affinity.

Not in the mood to take care of Gao Qingzhu, Xu Nanxing's heart was already hot at the moment, he couldn't sit still, got up and took a turn, and finally stopped at the place where the previous carriage was connected.

Gao Qingzhu, who was still sitting in place, didn't pay attention to him, but looked at the leather-clothed man opposite.

The man had not taken off his clothes, and the skin on his face, which was exposed to the air, appeared dry and out of place with the crowd around him.

Even if it's not easy to sweat, but in such a hot environment, you have to shed a few drops after all, right?

I was about to go over and ask him a few words, but unexpectedly, it was dark in front of him.

It's the entire subway circuit that's faulty.

"Ahh

Several exclamations echoed in the car, presumably some passengers were frightened by this sudden power outage, and the surrounding darkness went dark, together with the darkness outside the window, crushing people into the compartments in all directions.

The group was trapped, and it was the first time Gao Qingzhu had encountered it, and the entire tunnel without light was hidden in dead darkness.

I wasn't scared, but I felt dizzy because of the claustrophobic environment.

The air seems to have become thinner, too.

If it continues like this, I am afraid it will end up suffocating.

In my ears, curses sounded, and some passengers were dissatisfied with the unexplained malfunction and were shouting angrily, but no one responded, but it became self-talking.

I don't know when, Xu Nanxing has walked back, he clasped his hands in front of him, and his face was sad.

But at the moment, no one could read the expression on his face, only a few beams of mobile phone light swept around.

"What did you find again?" Gao Qingzhu touched his pocket, remembering that the phone was out of battery, and reluctantly pulled his hand out of his pocket.

Xu Nanxing squatted down, snuggled up to her side, and said softly: "That demonic aura has not disappeared, and it has been wandering outside this subway." ”

Gao Qingzhu: "She's looking for someone?" ”

In the dark, Xu Nanxing paused for a while, as if he was thinking and figured it out, before he approached Gao Qingzhu again: "Only the two of us can see her, I'm thinking, the person she is looking for may be us." ”

"There's no need, if you're looking for us, you don't have to force the entire subway to stop." Gao Qingzhu suddenly understood something, and paused for a few seconds before slowly speaking, "In my opinion, she wants to kill us." ”

I thought that the people in the carriage were not in the mood to listen to what they were saying, so Gao Qingzhu's words were not small, and they were actually heard.

This person is the leather-clad man sitting opposite.

Although he pretended to continue to look at his phone, Gao Qingzhu clearly saw his eyes that had just been raised.

The faint blue light of his phone illuminated his face, making it especially clear in the darkness.

It was a pair of deep black eyes, as if they had seen everything and gone through vicissitudes.

Why does a young man have such eyes?

Gao Qingzhu was fine, staring at him, Xu Nanxing saw this, and his heart became uncomfortable again: "What do you see, I'm talking to you!" ”

"Well, he heard it." Gao Qingzhu raised his chin and signaled to Xu Nanxing that someone had heard what they were saying.

Unexpectedly, the man did not shy away from it, stood up generously, walked straight to the two of them, and naturally sat on the side of Gao Qingzhu.

I heard a cold tone ringing in my ears: "I can see it." ”

Gao Qingzhu and Xu Nanxing were stunned for a moment, and then immediately reacted.

"You can see that too?" Xu Nanxing was surprised for a while, he looked up and down at the man in leather clothes, his eyes were full of incredulity, he looked around a few times, and then whispered to him, "Then you are also ......?" But I don't smell you. ”

"I'm a human, not a monster." The man was very calm, but as a human being, he was not at all surprised by the terrifying scene that had happened outside the window before.

It's like ...... It's no wonder.

The three of them looked at each other for a few seconds, and just when questions kept popping up in their minds, before they could ask, they heard a noisy sound coming from inside the carriage.

Several male passengers were prieing at the door and trying to open the closed train door, and the emergency door opening device on the top had also been moved, but there was no movement from the train door.

It seems that the "female ghost" really doesn't plan to let the people in the car go down.

The entire subway is cut off from the outside world, as if in an independent space, and at the same time, people from outside can't get in.

"What now? Waiting for rescuers to come? Gao Qingzhu looked up at the top of the carriage, "The subway usually has backup lighting equipment, but looking at the current situation, that guy is planning to let us stay in the dark." ”

"This is a non-human factor, the rescue team will definitely not be able to enter, but I am afraid that this tunnel has been blocked by her with an enchantment, otherwise the air will not decrease so quickly." Xu Nanxing sat down and sighed, "What I'm most worried about now is that I'm afraid that the whole train will be buried with me......"

From knowing Xu Nanxing to the present, Gao Qingzhu has never seen this kind of expression on his face.

Worried, angry, serious, these emotions are blended, which is not quite like him.

"I can help open the door." Coldly, the leather-clad man spoke.

He said that he was an ordinary person, so how could he open a door that even a few strong men couldn't open? Xu Nanxing suddenly showed an expression of disbelief, and looked at him suspiciously as he walked slowly to the white train door, under the puzzled gaze of several strong men, he put his hand up, and then-

The door opened.

The door opens?

Xu Nanxing didn't care about it, even Gao Qingzhu was stunned for a while.

One by one, the strong men were clubbed in place, their slightly open lips already indicating the degree of surprise they were at this moment.

What kind of monster is this man? Didn't he say he's not a youkai? Could it be that where did the master come from, and he knows some immortal magic?

At this time, Xu Nanxing had already imagined a hundred possibilities in his heart, guessing where he was sacred. But what he didn't know was that the leather-clad man just had a lot of strength, spells or something, and he didn't know how to ...... at all

Seeing that a door was opened, the figures on the subway found a life-saving straw and swarmed to it, all vying to get out first.

The carriage, which was originally very few people, was suddenly crowded, and only three people were sane at the moment.

That was Gao Qingzhu, Xu Nanxing and the leather-clad man.

"You're not going out?" The man asked.

"It's useless to get out of the carriage, this place is blocked, and there is no signal on the mobile phone, even if they starve to death and die of exhaustion, they can't get out unless my demon power recovers to unlock this barrier." Xu Nanxing quietly watched the crowd.

"Then when will your demonic power recover?" Gao Qingzhu looked at him.

Xu Nanxing: "Tomorrow." ”

Gao Qingzhu: "I can't wait, I'll die of thirst by then, so you have no other way?" ”

"Nope."

A short conversation had just ended, and I heard a loud bang in the depths of the tunnelβ€”

Accompanied by a violent shaking, the ground under the feet continued to shake, the amplitude of the earthquake increased greatly, almost to the point of unstable standing, most of the crowd that had poured out was only a small part of the carriage at this time, they screamed and frightened, they covered their heads and squatted down, thinking that the earthquake was coming.

But only Xu Nanxing knew that it was not an earthquake.

"Earthquake?" Gao Qingzhu pulled the railing, and in her impression, it seemed that there had never been an earthquake in S City.

Xu Nanxing looked at the crowd squatting on the ground in front of him: "There is another monster in this car." ”

At the same time as the loud noise was made, Xu Nanxing had already confirmed the direction in which the demonic energy was coming from, and the demonic energy was different from the "female ghost" outside the window, it was released in an instant, and I thought that this "earthquake" was also caused by this demonic force.

And this demonic power Xu Nanxing has smelled it, but the continuous vibration of the ground makes him unable to walk, and he must find its source as soon as this demonic power still exists!

Suddenly, the tremors subsided, and gradually, as the minutes passed, finally subsided.

"And another? Where is he? The leather-clad man's grip on the railing loosened, his voice still cold.

Xu Nanxing raised his mobile phone, turned on the flashlight function, and scattered a piece of light to the crowd in front of him, and he suddenly shouted: "Come out, mirror, I know you are here." If you don't worry about us, why do you want to come to Linhai Station to ask us for help? ”

In front, there were more than a dozen people who had not yet gotten out of the train, and each of them had a frightened look, and they all looked at Xu Nanxing suspiciously.

There was only one person, and he was smiling......
