Chapter 25: Subway Horror
The train quickly roared into the next station, but it didn't stop at all, and it hurried across the platform, causing some commotion among the passengers in the car who had noticed the incident.
This naturally included Su Yue, who said with some uneasiness: "What's the matter?" β
Lu Yuansheng frowned slightly, did not speak, he doubted whether this would be the arrangement of the Security Bureau, he missed this situation, the other party could completely let the subway stop at a specific platform, so that only need to arrange people to block on the fixed platform can easily catch the target.
"Passengers, there are some faults in the train now, please hold on to the handrails and sit firmly and don't panic, the fault will be eliminated soon......" The train radio sounded and interrupted Lu Yuansheng's thoughts, which were repeated three times in total, and it seemed to be a little anxious to listen.
The passengers on the train suddenly became noisy, discussing what was going on, and they all looked a little nervous.
"No, if you want to arrange a fixed platform, it will definitely take time to set up, this train ...... It's so fast! Lu Yuansheng thought in his heart.
He moved instantly, punched the emergency brake button near the door, and pressed it frantically a few times, but there was no response at all. His action frightened the surrounding passengers, and soon, they realized...... The car may not stop.
"If this continues, sooner or later the previous train will be rear-ended." Lu Yuansheng thought that Line 10 was a circular line, and there were several trains running in turn at the same time.
There was chaos in the carriage, and the passengers were clamoring for a place to hold on, and even the people in the next carriage were infected by the sound, and the riot was infected.
"Squat! Lower your center of gravity! Don't make noise....... get out of the way! Lu Yuansheng shouted while finding an escape hammer, and hit the corner of the window on the side with a hammer, crackling and shattering to the ground, frightening the passengers on the side to squat on the ground with their heads covered and afraid to speak.
"Don't move! Stay honest! Lu Yuansheng grabbed the window with one hand and shouted at the people in the car with a hammer in the other. After that, he casually threw the hammer on the ground and flipped it out, which really startled the people around him, although Su Yue knew that he was not simple, but he didn't expect him to dare to do such a dangerous thing.
As he flipped out, he entered his own stationary world, and the rushing train turned into a quiet behemoth, allowing him to rush safely towards the cab. Through the window, he could see the driver's panicked and still expression, and sure enough, his conjecture was once again confirmed.
He pulled out a thin needle and swung it diagonally at the window so as not to hurt the people inside, and then he stood still again, then climbed onto the roof of the car and found a point of focus to stabilize his body.
The world was moving again, and the huge wind pressure weighed him down a little, and there was a thud from the door next to him, and it was the sound of the car window being smashed.
He deftly got into the cab and asked the frightened driver, "What's going on?" β
The driver looked at the comer, trembled and handed over a note in his hand, and said nervously: "The braking system is sudden... Suddenly something went wrong... I couldn't stop, I checked the electrical box and found this... This one. β
Lu Yuansheng took it and quickly swept it, and a few crooked artistic words were written on it: "The limiter is on the top of the middle compartment." β
"You ......" The driver wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Lu Yuansheng: "Have you reported it, if you haven't reported it, hurry up and let them contact the security department." β
After that, he turned out of the carriage again, in fact, he was now horrified in his heart, this matter is definitely not simple. However, now that the lives of a train are more important, he doesn't have time to think too much and connect with others.
In the still world, he reached the top of the middle compartment, which was a switch-like box, with several wires running into the inside of the roof cover. The important thing is what is drawn and written above, a double-throw switch is stuck in the middle, the switch corresponds to two lines up and down, the upper line draws a small stickman wearing a bow and holding a lollipop, and the other line below draws three large stickmen with faint symbols and several wine bottles, and then on the side is a line of words in the same font as the note, "This is a test for you, choose it".
"Tram puzzle...... It's a bad taste. Lu Yuansheng frowned, he hadn't made a choice yet, after all, it was related to the lives of a car of people, and he even needed to wonder if this switch could really solve the problem of the train.
With the wires next to him buried in the roof of the car, he couldn't see their guidance. However, he still checked the situation outside the train, and this time, he found something even more amazing, the bottom of each car was placed to look like a bomb, and the wires connected to the bomb looked the same as the one next to the switch box, and the switch box was sealed so well that there was no way to open it.
He was still hesitating, the evil device reminded him of the man, the terrifying killer, the Artiste who gave him private messages on the secret web. If he arranged it...... The problem with this switch may not be so simple.
According to the diagram, the little stickman with the lollipop should correspond to a naΓ―ve child, and the following may represent three mediocre adults, maybe still drunk.
If it was really the Atiste with a brain problem, he might be hinting at killing the stupid adult to save the innocent child.
However, there may be another explanation, sacrificing one innocent person and saving the rest of the majority who can't help themselves. So this one who was sacrificed...... Me? Lu Yuansheng was speculating psychologically, he looked at the switch box in front of him, and realized that this box might also contain a bomb, which corresponded to the bomb under the car.
"Below, the bomb under the car will explode, the bottom of the wheel will be destroyed, the car will stop, but the passengers in the car will definitely suffer heavy casualties; Above the choice, it should be the bomb on the roof of the car that exploded, and the chooser died, but the passengers in the car survived. Lu Yuansheng came to a conclusion.
"Fortunately, it was me." Lu Yuansheng rejoiced in his heart.
The world returned to normal, and he quickly flipped the switch upwards and re-entered the stationary world, far away from the train. When he returned to the normal world, as he expected, there was a flash of fire on the roof of the car and the sound of an explosion in the tunnel. Then, he was relieved that the speed of the train began to change, and after seeing the train travel some distance, he used his abilities to return to the cab.
"Can you stop? Got in touch with the outside? As soon as he came in, Lu Yuansheng asked.
"It's time to stop, the call has been sent out, and the control center is also scheduling, but... Look at ......" the driver pointed to the display and said, "The screen has become like this......"
The screen lit up: "Congratulations on passing the test - Artist".
"Sure enough, it's him."
Lu Yuansheng felt a chill in his heart, he thought that this subway attack was aimed at Su Yue, but the target of the other party would actually be him.
This is the "test" predicted by the other party?!
But such a large-scale arrangement cannot be easily completed, and his task is also improvised, only Li Si and Xiaoyuan know their whereabouts and plans, and even the escape route of the subway is only one of several plans.
Coincidental?
No way!
Yourself being watched? Who leaked the information? The other party recognized himself and changed his plan on the spur of the moment? Or is there some new technology or special ability that no one knows about?
But he didn't have time to think carefully about how the other party knew his whereabouts, so he flipped out the last sentence to the driver:
"Stop at the next station."
