Lin Fan subconsciously jumped a few steps to the side.
Looking at the calm expressions of John Woo and Sister Xu, I felt that I was too...
Why haven’t you developed this psychological quality yet?
Lin Fan complained in his mind as he asked naively, "So why are we here..."
It's impossible that they are here to investigate the cause of that person's death, right?
Don't say that this matter is not under the jurisdiction of the Special Affairs Department.
Even if we ask for help from our sister units, it's still too long. Three months have passed, what else can be found out?
"Just fulfill her wish." Sister Xu put her hands in the pockets of her off-white windbreaker, seeming oblivious to Lin Fan's misbehavior.
"Her wish? Who..." Lin Fan said, his eyes suddenly widened, a look of horror on his face, "It can't be..."
"Ever since that accident, this train always has some problems at night after the time of the accident. But after several inspections, no problem was found." Sister Xu did not answer her directly.
"The subway team thought it was strange, but they didn't think much of it. Until one day, they were doing maintenance too late, and it was past midnight when they returned to the departure station. Then someone saw something that shouldn't have been there..."
"Do we really have to talk about this now?" Lin Fan felt his hair stand on end. "Didn't they say we can't talk about this at night? It'll attract that thing?"
And it happened at the scene, at such a dangerous time.
Sister Xu looked at Lin Fan's face, which had lost all expression control and was twisted into a ball. It had nothing to do with being pretty. Surprisingly, she found the child kind of cute.
He paused for a few seconds, then continued speaking under her pleading gaze. "They realized something unusual was happening, and they even went to find monks to chant sutras and Taoist priests to exorcise the evil spirits... but it was all in vain."
The weak and helpless Lin Fan had no choice but to hug himself quietly.
John Woo walked up to her in a tactful manner, which gave her some courage.
"I don't know if it's because the skills of the people before me weren't up to par, or if it had the opposite effect, but things are getting more interesting now." Sister Xu pulled out a square, flat metal box from her pocket.
The entire lid of the metal box is covered with a gorgeous mosaic-like pattern.
Lin Fan seemed drawn to the pattern the moment he saw it. Even as he shivered in this unsettling environment, his eyes were fixed on it, unable to move away.
A crisp "pop" sound suddenly woke her up from the chaos.
Sister Xu covered the pattern with her four fingers, turned the box over and put it in her pocket, and in her other hand, a long cigarette was pinched.
So that was a cigarette case? Lin Fan admired himself for even having the energy to think about such nonsense.
Despite this, she couldn't help but look at Sister Xu's hand holding the cigarette.
Her pale, slender fingers held the long, thin, white lady's cigarette easily and naturally, and she didn't seem to intend to light it.
Sister Xu smokes? Lin Fan was a little surprised, then thought it was nothing. But then he wanted to slap himself again.
Is now the time to think about these things?
"It is said that the bus has not broken down recently, but it has to pass by this station once every day at 12 o'clock, and it also has to brake suddenly, as if it wants to repeat the previous incident." Sister Xu changed the hand holding the cigarette and took out a lighter from the other pocket.
It was not one of those convenient lighters that cost one dollar, but a metal lighter with a lid that opened from the top.
It looks very much like the product of that famous lighter brand, except that there are some unknown patterns engraved on the shell.
Lin Fan didn't dare to look any further, fearing that he would be lured into the trap again without being noticed.
Sister Xu held the lighter and gently rubbed the lines on it with her thumb, but she seemed to have no intention of lighting a cigarette.
"They really had no other options, so they reported it to the General Administration, and then transferred it to me." Sister Xu looked at Lin Fan calmly. "It just so happened that I was the only one available in the fourth department. I saw this as an interesting opportunity, and it would be a great way to train your courage, so I brought you along."
Lin Fan didn't know what was so funny about this, but she still had to accept Sister Xu's kindness. She clutched her chest and said, tears welling up in her eyes. "Thank you, Sister Xu."
"Why didn't you tell her earlier? Look how scared she is." Sister Xu saw that Lin Fan was really scared and knew that this matter would require an adaptation process and could not be rushed.
John Woo smiled but said nothing.
Lin Fan weighed the pros and cons in his mind, realizing that even if he knew sooner, it wouldn't be much better. He might even be in fear for even longer.
Although I was afraid just now, it was the fear of the unknown, purely scaring myself.
Not now. Sister Xu admitted that there was a problem, and this was definitely not just a matter of wild imagination.
Lin Fan was afraid, but at the same time he encouraged himself.
With Sister Xu around, safety is definitely guaranteed. Even John Woo is not afraid, so what should I be afraid of?
After encouraging it for a long time, I realized that it was not very meaningful, so I simply stopped wasting energy and gave up.
"So... let's just wait for that thing to brake here?" Lin Fan raised his arm tremblingly and looked at his watch. It was almost 12 o'clock.
"Yes, since you're lingering around and not making any noise, you must have some demands." Sister Xu nodded and turned to look at the direction of the oncoming traffic. "If there's a problem, just solve it. It's not as complicated as you think."
Lin Fan looked at the end of the track blocked by the shielding door, and saw faint light shining towards him.
The sound of the train's wheels rubbing against the rails is particularly eye-catching on the empty platform.
"Here I am." Sister Xu's lips curled up slightly, as if she was waiting for the bus to the amusement park.
Lin Fan swallowed hard, suppressed his heartbeat, and tried to remain calm.
The train arrives at the station.
The car began to slow down, and when it reached the middle of the road, there was a sudden sharp braking sound.
The iron wheels rubbed against the track, shooting out a shower of sparks as they slid forward. Everything seemed to be repeating the scene of that day.
Lin Fan saw with his own eyes that there was no one in the cab, and all the lights in the car were on, but there was no one inside either.
In the quiet subway station late at night, the person in charge who had just picked them up was watching the surveillance camera nervously, holding the hot water in his hand tremblingly.
As the front of the car reached the door where they were standing, they heard a muffled "bang" sound, as if it had really hit something...
Lin Fan swallowed again and heard a loud swallowing sound in his ears.
The train finally stopped.
The door opens, the screen door opens.
The empty train silently invited them in.
"Let's go." Sister Xu took the lead and walked forward with a cigarette in one hand and a lighter in the other.
Lin Fan's heart was beating like a drum, his feet felt like they were nailed to the ground, and even his hair was resisting.
John Woo watched her from the side without urging her.
"Are you sure you want to stay on the platform?" Sister Xu came to her senses after entering the carriage and looked at the stiff Lin Fan. She said lightly, "I'm not sure. After I get on the train, will the thing you're afraid of follow me, or stay..."
Lin Fan's legs almost went weak when he heard this, and it just so happened that he had regained some mobility.
Although we are all scared, it is safer to follow Sister Xu.
She stumbled forward, head down.
"Beep, beep!" The train door beeped.
Lin Fan squeezed into the train by rubbing against the door.
"Not bad." Sister Xu raised the corner of her mouth and praised without any sincerity.
Lin Fan was just about to smile back at her politely, and when the corner of his mouth slightly raised, the car started moving.
If she remembered correctly...
There's no one in the cab right now...
Always be prepared xxxxx
