The range of the phone's light is not large. The crowd hides in the light, as if they were on a solitary island in a vast underground world, surrounded by a deathly silence, where even the slightest sound of the wind becomes particularly noticeable.
Yu Jin immediately suspected that she had just spoken recklessly and touched upon some taboo. She quickly clasped her hands together and apologized repeatedly. Fortunately, there were no further disturbances, and it seemed that it was just an ordinary gust of wind.
The wind passed, and they returned to the terrifying silence.
But no one made fun of Yu Jin. Everyone noticed something unusual here. As they looked at each other, the muscles on everyone's face were very stiff.
Yu Jin Calm down, and his courage grew a bit. He squinted to observe the figures on the ground and suddenly felt that the woman's clothes looked familiar: "Look, isn't she wearing the subway uniform?"
"Yes, yes!" Shi Tau also saw it clearly and exclaimed, "She might be a subway employee!"
That might just be a staff member! The tense atmosphere that had been pervading among the crowd immediately relaxed, as if they had heard the excited plea of "spare the executioner's blade" before a death sentence.
Shi Tau once again proposed to go and save the person. Liu Lian remained silent, but did not seem to agree, while lawyer Li finally spoke up: "Xiao Shi, we have no doctor and no resources, how can we save someone?" He glanced around at the people present, considering himself the oldest and most qualified to make a decision: "Besides, as you explained, we are currently in a promotion match, preoccupied with our own affairs. After saving her, what are we going to do? Take a burden with us on the road?"
Yu Jin Although I don't particularly like lawyer Li's emphasis, I also know that what he said is not wrong. Reality is often so cruel.
Liu Lian seemed like she had something to say since just now, and now she finally spoke: "I don't know if you have ever played online games?" She paused, seemingly considering the right words: "The so-called Instance dungeon is a private room, and the players inside will only be you and your teammates. Without an invitation, no one else can enter the Instance dungeon."
Yu Jin immediately understood her meaning: "When we first entered, we didn't encounter any other companions. This is because different teams entered different copies, and each team is not supposed to disturb the others, right?"
Liu Lian nodded, "On our essential path, the possibility of her being a game NPC is higher."
The atmosphere suddenly froze again.
Yu Jin remembered the voice in his mind when he woke up, "Underground palace Instance dungeon - Although we are underground, we have not entered the palace yet." Seeing that no one responded, he continued, "Whether we advance or retreat, it's all part of the mission. Shall we go and take a look?"
Yu Jin Looking around, no one objected.
So everyone cautiously approached - lying on the ground was indeed a weak woman. She appeared to be around forty years old, her face turned upwards, her eyes only slightly open, and her hair was damp with sweat. She leaned against the wall of the passage, her work clothes were very dirty, covered in all sorts of liquids. The most horrifying thing was her abdomen - it seemed to have suffered some external injury, her shirt was dyed into a dark red mass by bloodstains, the edges of the bloodstains had dried up, and no one knew how long she had been here.
Yu Jin approached and saw her name tag read Pang Xida.
Seeing someone approach, Miss Pang showed a look of joy on her face. She slightly turned her head towards the crowd and pleaded in a low, hoarse voice, "Please help me, my stomach is ruptured. Please call an ambulance for me..."
Miss Pang claims to be a safety inspector for Line 1 of the subway. During the day, the subway shuttles a huge flow of people underground in the city, and at night, workers flood into the empty underground hub, inspecting tunnels, maintaining trains, and cleaning platforms. They are responsible for maintaining the safety and prosperity of the city. She is also a member of the night shift workers, and such busy nights have accompanied her for fifteen years.
People who work the night shift in the subway are bound to encounter some strange things. One of her colleagues once found a package on the tracks. Strangely, the package's location indicated that it couldn't have been thrown from the platform, but must have been placed there by someone who entered the tunnel. Later, a group of colleagues analyzed the surveillance footage and confirmed that no one could have entered the tracks. This incident became an unsolved case, and the colleague who found the package resigned afterwards. Only a few people know what was inside the package.
When the old people in the office chat, they often say that the tunnel at midnight is a good place for some "good friends" to hide, but if you don't provoke them, they won't provoke you. If you really encounter them, don't disturb them and just quietly walk away.
Today, Miss Pang encountered something strange.
In the subway tunnels, in addition to the daily rushing trains, there are also many small animals living there, such as mice, snakes, and even bats. Every night, she has to check the condition of the tracks accompanied by the faint smell of animals.
But today, she smelled a stronger odor. She saw a homeless man, very dirty, and could smell the pungent stench from several meters away. His clothes were tattered, and his dry arms lay motionless across his chest, so Miss Pang immediately assumed he was dead. Although she didn't know how the homeless man got in, he was the fifth tunnel fatality discovered this month. With the pressures of life, many people come to the subway to end their lives - she had heard from her predecessors about all sorts of strange and unusual ways to die, so at the moment she just felt unlucky and didn't have much fear.
She had just walked to the side to pick up the walkie-talkie to report when she was attacked by a homeless man.
"He must have rabies!" Miss Pang was obviously still trembling with fear, unable to control her chattering teeth: "He didn't die, and he came at me to bite!"
Her face was flushed with an unhealthy red, as if from a fever caused by an infection.
"Save me..." Miss Pang suddenly grabbed the closest person to her, Yu Jin, with a strength that was terrifying, completely unlike that of a weak patient.
Yu Jin I didn't expect this move, and I was almost scared to death. I blurted out my question all of a sudden: "Where is that homeless man?"
"You, save me..." Miss Pang repeated, "My stomach is torn, save me..."
She also emitted a foul odor, and her entire abdomen was oozing with a substance that could have been blood or pus, causing the shirt to stick tightly to the wound, a scene so gruesome that it could have been from a rated-R blood plasma film.
Yu Jin looked troubled and turned to ask Liu Lian, "Is this a quest given by an NPC?"
Liu Lian nodded with difficulty, and said uncertainly, "The mission may not be as simple as it seems. We may need to uncover deeper needs - such as getting rid of the homeless man who hurt her."
Yu Jin seemed thoughtful as he tentatively said to Miss Pang, "Miss Pang, please let go first. We will help you heal your stomach." He paused, seeing no response from Miss Pang, and continued, "We will help you get rid of the homeless man."
Still no response.
Yu Jin was puzzled and finally changed to a more ambiguous statement: "We will help you take down the mastermind."
With a loud noise, Miss Pang put her hand down.
"It looks like we need to get rid of the ringleader," Yu Jin quickly left Miss Pang's activity circle, tenderly wiping the stains on his sleeve.
"The next step is to find the homeless man and inquire for more clues!" Shi Tau looks quite excited, Yu Jin suspects that he has not yet freed himself from the control of his adolescent syndrome, holding inexplicable passion for everything.
Unconsciously, the backbone of the team has become Yu Jin. lawyer Li seems unwilling to be ignored and speaks up, "NPCs also have the need for healing, right?" He points to Miss Pang's stomach, "She mentioned calling an ambulance - you two girls should go and attend to her wound."
Xiao Cai was caught off guard and had a look of fear and resistance on her face, but she didn't dare to refuse. Liu Lian was extremely repulsed by lawyer Li's command, and frowned as she retorted, "If you have this idea, you can go by yourself. We are not your subordinates."
lawyer Li was taken aback, seeming to feel offended by this female student. Immediately, he showed anger and raised his voice, saying, "Young lady, if you don't want to do it, that's fine, but you should pay attention to your attitude. This attitude of yours will only lead to trouble in the workplace sooner or later!"
Liu Lian Her brows furrowed even tighter, but she was not good with words. She was momentarily at a loss for words when lawyer Li made unreasonable remarks, and just as she was taking deep breaths to calm herself down, Xiao Cai suddenly gathered the courage to speak up: " Liu Lian is right."
"We are not your subordinates, and this is not a workplace."
The frail Xiao Cai actually dared to contradict him - lawyer Li stared incredulously at the girl in front of him, his face burning with angry red.
No one noticed that Miss Pang's wailing had diminished. Her eye sockets rapidly caved in, causing her eyeballs to protrude, and her black pupils gradually dilated until they filled the entire eyeball.
When someone finally noticed that something was wrong, Miss Pang had completely transformed. Her skin had taken on a strange bluish-purple hue, resembling the skin of some kind of frog, reflecting a faint oily sheen; her muscles had the texture of jade, with visible purplish-red veins beneath the skin. She was sitting there, and they didn't know how long she had been watching them like that.
