Chapter 65.1
As Xiao Tangqiu became excited, he suddenly felt dizziness. There was a feeling of deja vu again…
d.a.m.n! It’s too late! They were going back again! Why did it have to happen now?!
At this moment, the sun rose and the sky turned bright.
Xiao Tangqiu watched the nearby torii gradually disappear from right before his eyes. He felt extremely unwilling, it was only a little more! They were just a little short! It was clear that they had found the shrine! It was clear that they were only one step away from the shrine!
In the next moment, his vision went dark and he lost all consciousness.
When Xiao Tangqiu opened his eyes again, he had returned to the familiar tunnel. The familiar voice of Tang Mianmian carried over from nearby, “f.u.c.k! We’re back in this tunnel?”
He turned his head to find Shen Yuan. After seeing that Shen Yuan was nearby and was also looking for him, he felt relieved, but soon he was frustrated again, “Such a pity, we almost found the shrine…”
Duan Hongzhen was also very annoyed, “d.a.m.n! It was only a bit further! But that d.a.m.n shrine only appeared suddenly after dawn, so does that mean it only appears after dawn and disappears at night?”
Xiao Tangqiu also thought of this question, “But we can’t stay at Hundred Ghost Town during the day. Does that mean that it is impossible for us to find the shrine in our lifetime?”
The two of them told Xue Junli and others what happened last night. Xue Junli frowned slightly, “The shrine only appears during the day?”
Xiao Tangqiu smiled bitterly, “I’m afraid so. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have found nothing all night. If the shrine is an important plot point, isn’t it a dead-end right now?”
Xue Junli spoke firmly, “It is impossible for the system to give us an unsolvable dead end. Either we did not meet the conditions to trigger the plot or we missed some key clues or important items.”
Duan Hongzhen nodded, “It should be so. We must have missed something last night.”
Xue Junli’s gaze darkened, “Next time we’ll search together.”
There was suddenly the sound of footsteps nearby.
The footsteps got closer and closer, and Xiao Tangqiu instantly became alert. Soon, a few familiar faces appeared before them.
Upon closer look, it was the group of newbies who parted with them previously.
When the leading nitpicking man saw them, he suddenly became proud of himself, “It turns out to be you! How about it? Killing zombies again?”
Xue Junli looked coldly at the man picking a fight and he didn’t want to pay attention to this guy at all. But this guy came up anyways, unable to read the atmosphere, “You guys really do useless things! Are you going to run out to kill zombies all night again? We stayed in the tunnel and didn’t do anything, didn’t we survive just fine? You guys worked so hard, did you gain anything?”
Not waiting for Xue Junli to speak, Duan Hongzhen raised his eyebrows and the knife in his hand flew out, instantly piercing through the gla.s.ses on the nose of the nitpicker!
Duan Hongzhen used an extremely precise amount of force. It neither scratched the lens nor went through the lens to pierce the eyeball, just the tip of the knife penetrated the lens. The tip of the knife was only one or two millimeters away from the eye of the nitpicker. The control of force was inhumanly good!
Even Xiao Tangqiu, a bystander, was frightened. If Duan Hongzhen’s hand tilted even a little, or if he used a little more strength, then it probably would not just be the man’s gla.s.ses lens that was pierced!
Needless to say, the nitpicking man who was the party concerned was so scared that he dropped to the ground, covering his eyes and yelling, “Ahhhhhhhh my eye! My eye! What have you done to my eye!”
Duan Hongzhen snorted, “Relax, I didn’t hit your eye. What are you screaming for? Are you made of porcelain?”
The nitpicker wailed for a while before realizing that his eye wasn’t in pain. He carefully took off his gla.s.ses and saw that the knife only went into the lens. He was relieved, but despite this, he was still scared into peeing himself.
The other newbies were also scared by Duan Hongzhen’s swift and decisive move and they didn’t even dare to breathe too deeply. They could only tremble like quails. Terrifying! Too terrifying! More terrifying than those zombies!
Duan Hongzhen crossed his arms, “You like being lazy, you can be lazy, I don’t care. But being lazy yet still coming before me, then don’t blame me for teaching you a lesson.”
The nitpicking man shook in fear, unable to say anything.
“f.u.c.k off!”
As soon as Duan Hongzhen’s voice fell, the nitpicker wanted to run with his tail between his legs but he was stopped by Xue Junli’s “Stop”. He looked at Duan Hongzhen and then looked at Xue Junli, conflicted.
Duan Hongzhen picked at his ear, “Someone wants to ask you some questions. f.u.c.k off after answering.”
Xue Junli frowned and asked, “You guys stayed in the tunnel yesterday, did nothing really happen?”
Duan Hongzhen glanced coldly at the nitpicker, “Answer!”
The nitpicker immediately shuddered and replied, “Nothing! Nothing! Really nothing happened!”
Xue Junli asked again, “Have you seen a black subway?”
The nitpicker hurriedly shook his head, “No, after we returned to the tunnel, the tunnel became an ordinary abandoned tunnel again. Other than the exit in the direction you were at, the other side was just the end of the tunnel. There was nothing in it, no subways or tracks at all. After that, we found a clear area with no danger and we cleared some of the ground and went to sleep…”
Duan Hongzhen sneered, “We were desperately trying to survive out there. You guys were so comfortable, only worrying about sleeping.”
The nitpicker was afraid of answering. At this moment, the sound of “dang dang dang” came suddenly, and his expression suddenly changed, “That is impossible! That is impossible! There was no subway before!”
Xue Junli immediately said, “Go!”
The crowd hurried towards the direction of the sound.
Dang dang dang dang-
Dang dang dang dang-
Soon, a familiar rail appeared in front of them.
The nitpicker was shocked, “That is impossible! That is impossible! There was clearly nothing earlier!”
As soon as his words fell, a familiar black subway appeared at the end of the track!
This time Xiao Tangqiu saw exactly how the black subway appeared. It didn’t come from the end of the track, it clearly appeared out of thin air!
The black subway drove in front of them, then gradually stopped and opened its doors again.
“No! No! I will never go up!” The nitpicker was in despair. With the trauma of the zombie siege yesterday, he did not want to get on this black subway for the rest of his life!
Duan Hongzhen rolled his eyes, “You don’t have to go up, but after we come back, you have to tell us what changes in the tunnel after the subway leaves.”
The nitpicker just breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly turned stiff again, “You guys… are coming back?”
Duan Hongzhen gave a cold laugh, “Why? You are antic.i.p.ating that we will never come back again, right?”
The nitpicker immediately shook his head frantically and denied it, “Of course not! No way! No, no, no!”
Duan Hongzhen grinned, “I changed my mind. The others stay, you are coming with us!”
The nitpicking man was about to cry, “No no no! Sorry I was wrong! Don’t take me up!”
Duan Hongzhen sneered, grabbed his collar, and dragged him onto the subway.
“No! Don’t!”
With the desperate cries of the nitpicker, the subway door closed.
Dang dang dang dang-
The subway started.
The nitpicker fell into despair and collapsed onto the subway floor.
As soon as he got on the subway, Xiao Tangqiu began to quickly look around in the subway. He saw that there were no other pa.s.sengers besides them, and he did not see the Miko.
He guessed that since the Miko probably got on the subway with those “pa.s.sengers” at the next stop yesterday, maybe it would be the same today.
Just when everyone was in a heavy mood, Shen Yuan pulled on Xiao Tangqiu’s sleeve, pointed to the empty seat on the subway, and said seriously, “Jiujiu, you are tired. Sit.”
Xiao Tangqiu wasn’t in the mood to relax and sit down but he didn’t want to ignore Shen Yuan, so he sat down with Shen Yuan.
The Reincarnation Team all looked at each other for a while and then sat down together. They realized that although there was a hard fight to fight later, they could take a little rest now. Only the nitpicking man was sitting on the floor and looked in despair.
Duan Hongzhen kicked the b.u.t.t of the nitpicker, “Hey, what’s your name.”
The despairing nitpicker reluctantly replied, “Lu Renjia.”
“Lu Renjia?” Tang Mianmian casually said, “This name is very “pa.s.serby A”. In horror movies, they’re usually fodder that can’t survive longer than the opening five minutes.”
Lu Ren burst into tears, “Why do you all say that! What’s wrong with a cannon fodder name? Although I didn’t grow up to become anything, just like the cannon fodders in novels, cannon fodders are also dignified!”
Tang Mianmian, “…Aren’t you a well-known ReadNovelFull writer?”
Lu Renjia’s expression collapsed, “I’m a layman writer! No one reads my writing! I can’t make money to support myself! I can only rely on my parents! I thought I could become great after transmigrating… but it’s barren wastes everywhere! The novels are all deceptive!”
Tang Mianmian thought about it and tried to comfort him, “My condolences.”
Lu Renjia cried sadly. When he took off his gla.s.ses to look at the broken lens, he cried even more sadly.
The corner of Xiao Tangqiu’s mouth twitched, wanting to speak. But at this moment, the subway gradually stopped.
Arrived at the next station!
