Chapter 3 How many people are there?

Fan Huan's luck was not good, and he was assigned to Line 3 in the north. To his surprise, in addition to himself, there were three men and one woman on the platform. Judging from their reactions, it should also be a newcomer who has been pulled in by the space.

None of them should know each other, and after cautiously asking each other, several people gathered together, as if they were planning to huddle. Fan Huan didn't want to wade into this troubled water, his companions were not around, and this was an extremely important assessment of veterans, so he stood far away from the beginning, trying not to hear what those people were saying.

As Lu Qing said, the most terrifying thing in this mission is not the ghosts, but these strangers. Why did he say that, now Fan Huan finally figured it out. If you're in a group with a stranger, you'll have to comply with any request he inadvertently says. For example, if the other party tells you to go to the left, then you can't go to the right, and then the dominance is in the hands of the other party. The more people, the more troublesome it will be. In the event of a disagreement, it is natural that the mandate is violated.

The most terrible thing is that once you meet someone with ill intentions and let him take the lead in the face of danger, then you must be this "substitute ghost".

Of course, if Dai Shikai and Xie Yuxuan were there, Fan Huan would naturally not have to worry about this, everyone had already known each other, so there was no need to worry about the provisions of the task. And the four newcomers in front of him are different for him: they are all strangers, and they must be careful to stay as far away as possible.

In this mission, it is obvious that it is safest to act alone, and the communication that everyone usually relies on has become the most dangerous and fatal point of the mission. It seems that the way to survive this time should be "don't talk to strangers". Fan Huan thought to himself. Of course, it's different when you encounter an emergency, and you can only adapt to the situation when the time comes. As for these newcomers...... Life and death are left to fate.

The train quickly entered the station, and although it was the last train, there were still quite a few people on the subway. He looked around the platform and saw that there were a dozen passengers in each carriage. As a rule of thumb, there will be fewer passengers in the middle car, so he chose a car with fewer people and walked in.

Xie Yuxuan's situation was similar to Fan Huan's, and he also met three newcomers. However, because of their appearance, the three did not choose to be in a group with this child, which made him breathe a sigh of relief. He was lucky, and his location was on Line 4 to the south, only 10 stops from Hangetsu Station. After getting in the car, Xie Yuxuan found the least personal seat and sat down.

The three newcomers are two men and one woman. The woman is in her twenties, with long flaxen hair, and she looks very gentle. The other two men were not much different in age, both in their thirties, and one of them was slightly chubby and looked very honest. The other is dressed in casual clothes and is very tall, about 1.9 meters.

"Is that little boy like us? If you leave him alone, it's too dangerous to be alone. The position of Xie Yuxuan on the other side of the long-haired woman was a little worried, the position of the three of them was separated by two carriages from Xie Yuxuan, which was not too far.

"No way, he's just a kid." The tall man shook his head: "What if he drags us down then?" "I don't think he's a burden." The fat man retorted: "When encountering such a strange thing, there was no panicked look on that child's face at all, so it can be seen that he is not an ordinary child." ”

"Maybe he's just a passenger? Just like everyone else in this carriage, that's why he didn't react. "The tall man is still opposed to the fat man's opinion.

"Who would let a child go out alone on the subway on this big night? And he was in the same place as us, not on the subway. So I think he's also a ...... Dream breaker. Yes, that's what the blood on the wall calls us. ”

"What if he's a ghost?" The tall man seemed to have a lot of hostility towards Xie Yuxuan, he just didn't want another burden in the team. "Don't scare me!" The long-haired woman had a frightened expression on her face.

There were two other passengers in the carriage where the three were staying, and while they were talking, a man in a trench coat and a hat with a briefcase in his hand suddenly got up and walked towards them. "Excuse me, I have a few questionnaires here that I need your help filling out, can you see it?" As he spoke, the man took out three pieces of A4 paper and a ballpoint pen from his bag and handed them to them.

"Ah, of course it's fine...... the three of them remembered the requirements in the mission, so they consciously took the questionnaire. The strangest thing is that there is only one problem on the table.

"Hurry up and fill it in, I'm going to get off at the next stop." The man in the trench coat suddenly took off his hat, revealing the terrifying face under the brim. The long-haired woman was about to scream, but the fat man covered her mouth. It's no wonder she's like this, because this man in a trench coat has only half a normal face, while the other half is flesh and blood blur and rotten! "Calm down." The fat man motioned to the long-haired woman to stabilize her mood, and the latter's face was pale, and the hand holding the paper kept trembling.

"Wait a minute." The fat man gritted his teeth, unscrewed his pen, and wrote his name and phone number on the questionnaire. The question on the questionnaire is: How many people do you think there are in this carriage right now?

Since getting on the train, there have only been five people in this carriage at the beginning, and the one in front of me should not be counted as a person, as for the other ...... The fat man looked up at the car door. Near the door, sat a man dressed in black. And his dress is similar to the ghost in front of him. Wrapped tightly from head to toe, he sat motionless in his position from the moment he got into the car. Is he a human or a ghost? The fat man was tangled.

"What if I get it wrong?" The fat man asked the ghost in front of him. "Hehe, if you answer incorrectly, there will be a small punishment. There is only one chance, and no modifications are allowed! An awkward smile erupted into the ghost's half face. After hearing its words, the three fell silent......

The ghost who gave them the questionnaire sat back in place unhurriedly, and his eyes drifted out of the window. "What to do? Is the number of people 3 or 4? The tall whispered asked. The man in black had his eyes closed from the beginning, sitting still like a statue, and it was difficult to tell who he really was. "He's supposed to be a ghost too, right?" The long-haired woman peeked at it and said cautiously.

The fat man looked at the man in black and made an amazing move. He walked up to the man and said, "Excuse me, where should I stop at xx?" As soon as he finished speaking, the man opened his eyes. He was expressionless, staring at the fat man for a few seconds, and finally spoke: "I don't know either." "Oh, excuse me." The fat man returned to his seat, sweating profusely.

I just came into contact with this man, and I still can't determine his identity. But at least it's certain that he's not dead. But that alone doesn't prove anything, what if he's a ghost too? The speed of the train has slowed down, and it looks like it is about to arrive at the station.
