Chapter 49: V3C26: There Seemed To Be A Ghoul In My Heart (1)
First of all, it was already strange enough that the subway station appeared above the ground. What was stranger was that there even was a moon in this place.
Well, I didn’t know whether it should be called a moon, because I had never seen such a sharp moon. Generally speaking, a crescent was at most a shape cut from a semicircle, but the two sharp tips of this crescent moon were about to fit together, like a ‘hollow moon’.
To use a smiley face as a metaphor, the ordinary moon was a smile, while the moon I was looking at was over-smiling for the mouth cracked to the ear with a sense of madness.
What was even stranger was the color. It was actually white, a kind of white that didn’t shine.
What was that saying? White in black was more dazzling than black in white, as if one section of the sky had been cut off.
If a moon could really drive people crazy, maybe this was the very moon seen by those crazy people…
The place Li Nai said we were supposed to go to was an underground city. Therefore, I thought it was that kind of underground world with ceilings and glowing moss. And I didn’t expect it to be a place like this.
Li Nai specifically warned us to never get off in advance. If we really got off early in that so-called ‘outfield’ area… What would happen? Damn it, it was this important point that she had omitted…
Since even Li Nai gave us a warming solemnly, it meant if we got off the subway early, we were very likely to run into danger.
So, what was I supposed to do next?
It was not a good idea to stay in this station. Anyway, I would walk along the rail and see what would happen.
After deciding what to do next, I jumped off the platform and walked to the direction of the subway.
However, I didn’t walk on the rail, for it would be terrible if there was another subway coming.
To prevent being crushed, I kept three meters away from the rail.
At this time, it was almost seven o’clock. After I left the station, the surroundings became increasingly dark, so sullen as to press overhead.
With the wind blowing loudly and violently, the grass was intensely rustling and swaying.
Inexplicably, my heart suddenly palpitated, as if there was a rabbit pounding around in it. I felt a cold hand might lay on my shoulder at any time.
Was I… was I actually afraid?
How was it possible?
Although I didn’t like the feeling, I still had a strong tolerance for ‘terror’.
For example, when it came to walking alone at night, other people would say they tended to feel scared to some extent, but I didn’t feel terrified at all. When people were alone, they would feel helpless and further uneasy, so many horror games designed this atmosphere to scare players.
But I had never run into panic in these situations.
At least, I didn’t feel scared before… But now I felt uneasy…
Because I, in the past, had no friends, so I had to rely on myself for everything. Hence, I wasn’t afraid of anything. However, now all kinds of entanglements had been established, and I also had become dependent on others. Was this the reason for me to feel uneasy when I was alone?
Maybe just as Trash said, friends would only weaken the strength of humans…
But…
(I didn’t think this was a bad thing.)
Yes, yes, I also thought so…?
“?! Who!”
Suddenly someone’s voice rang in my mind, beating me to speak out what I wanted to say.
As I was aroused, I turned and looked around nervously.
But I didn’t see anyone.
“Who was it! Don’t be mystifying! Get out!”
Behind, there was no one.
However, according to what I just said, if I turned around, I should be able to see… something.
Huh… don’t panic, calm down and turn around slowly. No matter what appeared, I was ready to…kill it with a punch!
I punched with my fist, but nothing was hit. Neither was the front, no one there.
