Eternal Night

Chapter 93: Dragging and Killing
Fake person.

This is an urban legend of the 21st century in Wu Xianxiao's memory.

Legend has it that among the crowds of people, there are some beings that look like humans, but no one knows what they are.

No one knows where they came from, how long they have existed, or what they are.

The only thing we know is that they will randomly select passers-by as their prey, perhaps as food, or perhaps simply for hunting. Since even their existence itself is unknown, we have no idea whether they need humans as food.

From the information about this urban myth that Wu Xianxiao knew, pseudo-people would hunt humans. Other people either couldn't see them, or according to legend they could see them. However, they looked no different from normal people, but in the eyes of their chosen prey, they would become extremely terrifying.

They will walk or run towards you at the speed of a normal person, and others will not be able to detect any abnormality. You cannot kill the fake people with any weapons, so you can only run away. The fake people will catch you like a cat catching a mouse. No matter where you run to, they will always find you, and then approach you in a crowd or in an open space, and finally...

No one knows what will happen to you, whether you will be killed, turned into a new pseudo-human, or sent to some horrible place, the secret research base of the pseudo-human maker, or the experimental bench of some mad scientist. In short, you disappear.

The scariest thing is, no one knows.

Because all your relatives, acquaintances, and friends will completely forget your existence in their memories, and all traces of your past will completely disappear.

This is most of the information Wu Xianxian knew about the fake person, at least this is all he remembered.

So when he saw this fake person walking out of the crowd, he immediately turned around and walked away with Jiujiu, thinking as he walked how to avoid the fake person, or whether he could see if he could kill him?
(No, it's too risky, because I don't know if this is some kind of touch kill. If it is a touch kill, then I'm trapped.)
Wu Xianxiao thought silently, and then his eyes narrowed suddenly. As soon as he turned around, he saw two more pseudo-people walking towards him from behind. Then he looked around and found that there were five or six pseudo-people surrounding him on all sides. The only escape route without pseudo-people was the subway station?

Wu Xianxiao was about to explode. He didn't even think about entering the subway station. There was no doubt that the fake people were forcing him to enter the subway station. There might be something more terrifying inside...

It was very similar to the plot of a skit game he had played before, in which the protagonist was forced into a subway station by a fake person, and then had to avoid the fake person while looking for change dropped by others everywhere in the subway station, and then spend money to buy a ticket to get on the subway, thus escaping his life. Although at the end there was still a fake person walking towards him, it left a foreshadowing.

He didn't want to try what would happen if a fake person came towards him in such a short carriage.

So, don’t be forced into the subway station!
At that moment, Wu Xianxiao planned to jump over the crowd with Jiujiu in his hand.

What a joke, a fake person with the speed of an ordinary person wants to surround and catch up with him?
It’s almost as if all the people in this city are fake!
But at this moment, there was a sound of "Jiujiu".

Wu Xianxiao immediately sensed something was wrong and asked softly, "What's wrong?"

Jiujiu shook her head and said unconfidently, "Just now, I seemed to see a few tall people, but they flashed by in a flash. Maybe I was dazzled."

Wu Xianxiao's face suddenly turned gloomy.

Obviously, these pseudo-people seemed to have a way to sense his intentions, so when he was about to escape across the crowd, they immediately turned Jiujiu into a hunting target. The transformation happened in an instant, and then stopped. There was no doubt that this was some kind of warning.

Wu Xianxiao narrowed his eyes and looked closely at the approaching fake person.

He really wanted to have a fight with them. The worst that could happen was that he would die once. If he really died on contact, then he would just keep running away. But if he could beat them... unless each of these pseudo-people had an explosive force of tens of tons, he could really kill each of them with one punch.

but……

No, chirp.

She is now in human form, unable to fly, and very weak, weaker than an average adult male. She doesn't even need to be attacked directly, she could die instantly just by being affected by the battle.

It will appear immediately after death, and at that time, he will really be unable to protect Jiujiu.

"Ah……"

Wu Xianxiao walked quickly with Jiujiu towards the subway station, saying as he walked: "Jiujiu, a monster has already set its sights on us. Don't look around. The monster's target is now me. You can't see them, so you won't be hurt by them. If I let go, you must rush to the side as fast as possible. Do you understand?"

Jiujiu looked nervous and lowered her head slightly. She just looked at Wu Xianxiao holding her hand and whispered, "Yeah, I understand."

Wu Xianxiao took Jiujiu and walked towards the lower part of the subway station, while the pseudo-human continued to chase them from behind, but he didn't run, just walked at the speed of an ordinary human being.

Along the way, Wu Xianxiao was also carefully observing the humans around him.

There were both men and women among them, with three skin colors, and their expressions were normal. Even from the details, they were the most ordinary and normal human beings, all of them were in a hurry.

There were words on the billboards in the subway, but these words were not any language that Wu Xianxian knew. Obviously, this was not Earth, nor was it any human country he knew.

At the same time, Wu Xianxiao also saw something from these billboards. This world, or this country, is at war, and it is unclear who they are fighting against, because the recruitment ads account for more than half of all the ads, and they are accompanied by huge mechas.

The style of the mechas was not the same as in any game that Wu Xianxiao knew. They looked like they had round heads and were in human form, animal form, spider form, octopus form, or something like that. It seemed that this world was developing towards mecha civilization.

Walking and looking, Wu Xianxiao soon arrived at the ticket office.

He didn't rush to move, but waved his hand casually. Before anyone could react, he had a large stack of banknotes in his hand. Then he came to the ticket hall and listened to the words of the people in front of him. Then when it was his turn, he uttered the monosyllables spoken by the previous few people, and at the same time took out two banknotes and handed them over.

The conductor glanced at him, took out one of the banknotes, then took out two tickets and handed them to him, and gave him some change.

Wu Xianxiao smiled and took all the items in his hands without even looking at them, then went to the subway station with Jiujiu.

This world is so similar to Earth civilization that even the entrances and exits of subway stations are almost the same: swipe your ticket, enter, then go to the passage, platform, and so on.

But as soon as he reached the platform, Wu Xianxiao immediately stood still at the platform entrance.

Because the entire platform also revealed the truth in his eyes!

The platform was normal, and the truth revealed was nothing but ruins, but the subway was different. The subways on both sides were full of various organs, mucus, and intestinal-type things, and the approaching subway trains were actually biological structures, and they were similar to hollow tongues.

The most terrifying thing is that when people walked into this tongue, some of the human bodies actually melted into the tongue, but the people around them were completely unaware. Then, they condensed back again, but turned into pseudo-people more than two meters tall.

Wu Xianxiao's eyes were solemn. He looked back and saw six pseudo-people walking in from the ticket office. Although they couldn't arrive for the time being, it was only a matter of time before they arrived.

"…So, forcing me to get off the subway is to turn me into a fake person?"

Wu Xianxiao immediately knew what these fake people were thinking, and even his intuition reminded him that he must not get on the subway train under any circumstances.

He looked around and found that there was only one entrance and exit, but the six pseudo-people were more than two meters apart and approached him and Jiujiu in a blocking manner.

Seeing this, Wu Xianxiao immediately pulled Jiujiu to the toilet.

As he walked, he said to Jiujiu, "After you go in, you will be in the innermost single room and lock the door. Unless I call you, you will never come out. If I die, you will stay in the single room to delay time. I will come here as soon as possible after resurrection. If you also... then do as I said before and find a hidden place to delay time quietly, understand?"

Jiujiu nodded nervously and was dragged by Wu Xianxiao into the men's restroom.

At this time, a white young man was talking on the phone in the toilet. He saw Wu Xianxiao walking in with a beautiful girl. The beautiful girl was wearing a dress that was very big for her and it seemed that there was nothing inside. The young man immediately exclaimed, and then said a lot of words in a burst of rapid chatter, but unfortunately Wu Xianxiao couldn't understand him.

The main brain can translate languages, but only in the dream world. During the weekend, neither text nor language will be translated.

So Wu Xianxiao ignored the young man and walked to the deepest part of the toilet. When he was sure that no one was using it, he put Jiujiu in and said seriously, "Don't open the door unless I call you!"

Jiujiu nodded.

Wu Xianxiao watched the door of the toilet room close, then turned around to look at the entrance of the toilet. Not long after, one, two, three, a total of six pseudo-people walked in.

The young man was washing his hands and making faces at Wu Xianxun and saying something. But when the six fake people walked in, he sensed something was wrong and immediately wanted to leave the toilet.

At this moment, Wu Xianxiao stepped on the ground, and as the ground cracked, he had already rushed to the front of the first pseudo-man. He stretched out one hand, and half of the lightning was imprinted on the pseudo-man's chest.

At the moment of touch, a huge suction force pulled Wu Xianxiao's arm and tried to drag him in, as if the pseudo-man was not a real entity but some kind of void.

At this moment, the sleepless spiritual light in Wu Xianxiao's sea of ​​consciousness suddenly shone brightly, and then a red light that was almost invisible to the naked eye emerged from Wu Xianxiao's body.

The next second, Wu Xianxiao slapped the fake man's chest with his palm. With one slap, the fake man's chest exploded directly from the back, and the spine was blown away together, falling on the wall next to the white young man's head.

Wu Xianxiao retracted his palm and saw the fake man shake, then fall to the ground. His body was rotting at a speed visible to the naked eye, and quickly turned into a human-shaped skeleton more than two meters tall.

The white young man watched all this with his mouth wide open. He was so shocked that he couldn't say anything.

Wu Xianxiao felt relieved, sensed the sleepless aura and the consumption of blood and energy, then smiled, closed his hands and clasped his fists.

"Wu Xianxiao, I've seen you!"
