Chapter 675: Thousand Spring Night
Ignoring the eyes of the people around them, Chen Ke and Shen Yun walked into the subway station under the guidance of a member of the management team.
Going down the steps, the orange warning lights flashed, and both sides of the passage were busy. The management team wearing strange suits gave people a sense of tension.
The subway station in Shinjuku was like an underground maze. Just now, the subway was completely shut down, and tens of thousands of people were placed in the subway station and were not allowed to go to the ground. In the passage, there were green and blue indicator lights, extending along the rails into the darkness. Chen Ke saw that there was a small device similar to an air humidifier every few meters on the wall. That thing was probably used to create a barrier.
The toll station was set to free mode, unimpeded, and people kept coming in from the passage. The people who were cursing and protesting on the street just now stopped making loud noises after coming down one after another.
They lined up along the wall to make way for others. Some people started to call to report their safety, and some were looking for the location of their relatives. There were many people at the scene, but it was terribly quiet, and everything seemed to be in order.
Chen Ke and Shen Yun walked to the innermost part of the platform. They were the first batch to get off, so they could find a seat at the innermost part. He asked Shen Yun to sit down, and then checked the wound on Shen Yun's thigh.
"The wound is not a big problem. It has scabbed over, but it will leave an ugly scar. You can't wear stockings in the future." Chen Ke said.
"Oh, my chubby legs." Shen Yun's face turned into an embarrassing word.
"At least I'm not dead. Think about Bob." Chen Ke said.
"Well, if it weren't for Mr. Chen, I would have been lying on the ground now." Shen Yun sighed.
"You girl... where did you learn so many strange words." Chen Ke said.
"I thought it was a very simple task, but I didn't expect it to turn out like this." Shen Yun said
"People can't always have good luck. Besides, I have never had good luck." Chen Ke replied.
"Well, I'll call Tong Lang to see what's going on over there." Shen Yun took out his mobile phone. The screen was cracked, but fortunately there was a signal here, so it could still be used.
Chen Ke stood up and let Shen Yun do his work. He used his spiritual vision and left eye to scan the surroundings in a low-key manner. The management bureau arranged it well. It was indeed very safe here. There were people inside and outside. The isolation position also worked well. The shadows of those monsters disappeared after entering the exit range.
"Please don't panic. The management bureau has controlled the situation. The crisis will be resolved soon. Please walk slowly and quietly in the subway station shelter. The Self-Defense Force will provide you with necessary material assistance. Relatives who are not around can come here to register. The management bureau will help find and confirm the location..."
A female self-defense team member spoke at the stairs with a loudspeaker to calm the people. A team of self-defense forces with live ammunition walked in from the stairs. The weapons they used were riot guns. It seemed that they were not aimed at monsters, but used to maintain underground security.
At this time, the lights in the subway station flickered a few times, and the residents all looked up.
"Don't panic, it may be that the power supply system is overloaded." The female self-defense team member took the loudspeaker to calm down.
"Mexi mexi? Mexi mexi?" Shen Yun sat in the corner, his voice a little loud.
"What's wrong? Bad signal?" Chen Ke asked.
"Yeah. It's full, it's connected, but the sound is intermittent." Shen Yun replied.
"It's like this in the subway." Chen Ke said.
"Tong Lang? Can you hear it clearly? Tong Lang?" Shen Yun continued to try hard.
At this time, there was a buzzing sound, and all the lights in the subway station went out.
"What's going on?! Did it trip?" Someone said in the dark.
"Don't panic... We will restore the power immediately." The voice of the female self-defense team member came from the loudspeaker.
The management team members turned on the lighting on the suits, and more than a dozen beams of white light were emitted from different angles, illuminating the platform area. Looking at the dozen fully armed team members and a team of self-defense team members holding explosion-proof guns, the panic in everyone's mind was suppressed.
"Don't be afraid, it's very safe here, and the equipment on the platform will not be affected by the power outage." The captain of the management team said loudly.
Chen Ke also slowly squatted on the ground, but the atmosphere around him still made him feel a little uneasy. This feeling was too similar to that of Tang Naoyuan.
At this time, the surroundings suddenly darkened, and a spontaneous darkness spread in the platform, cutting off the route of the dozen beams of light.
"What's going on? Why is my light..." The team members of the Administration began to wonder, and the detectors on their shoulders flashed red lights.
"Not good..." The captain was the first to notice the abnormality and raised his rifle, but he could no longer hear what he said later.
The crowd around them became noisy, but the darkness not only blocked the light, but also cut off the sound, so they fell into a state of blindness and deafness.
"Shen Yun?" Chen Ke turned on his spiritual vision and could still see the outlines of the people around him. His left eye and left ear were not affected by the darkness, but his entire senses were only half.
"Mr. Chen? Where are you...?" Shen Yun stretched out his hand and grabbed everywhere.
Chen Ke grabbed Shen Yun's hand, held her in his arms, and took out a large-caliber automatic rifle with his right hand.
"Same as Tang Naoyuan." Chen Ke whispered, but Shen Yun couldn't hear it. The situation this time was worse.
Chen Ke covered Shen Yun's mouth and told her not to speak. Through his left eye, he saw that the Administration and the Self-Defense Forces were groping around and were tripped by the residents on the ground. Some even fell off the platform and lay on the tracks.
Suddenly there was a baby crying all around.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..."
The sound lingered in my ears, as if there was a baby floating in the room.
"Grass... can't it be it, appearing now?" Chen Ke said to himself, the surroundings were dark, only the flashlights on the management team members were the source of light, and he didn't know what was going on outside.
At the same time, along with the baby's cry, the frightening female voice began to sing nursery rhymes again. Her voice was obviously very nice, but for some reason, it made people feel frightened. If Chen Ke had meant it, he would definitely be singing it now. Already pounding.
The silhouettes of people around them were disappearing one by one, nursery rhymes were playing, and many people were defeated by this rational attack. One self-defense force's mentality collapsed and he opened fire on the surroundings.
Chen Ke pushed Shen Yun to the ground and covered her ears to protect her from being hit by rubber bullets, but he didn't know if covering her ears could stop the sound of the nursery rhyme.
The people around him went crazy one by one, either scared to death or turning into lunatics, and the scene began to become chaotic.
Chen Ke could finally understand this nursery rhyme this time.
"When will the cherry blossoms bloom?
When will the small village in the mountains open?
When do the cherry blossoms release their fragrance?
When a young child is born...
When will the cherry blossoms fly?
young child sleeping
When will the cherry blossoms wither?
When a young child ascends to heaven..."
The song is resentful, but also has a hint of sadness. It is repeated continuously, with a crying tone, as if a mother is saying goodbye to her dead baby.
In the thick darkness, Chen Ke's left eye saw a woman wearing a white kimono, with long hair, standing at the end of the platform. She was so white, in the darkness, like snow-white cherry blossom petals, so conspicuous.
