Rules of the Unusual: My Yandere Husband Pretends to Be Innocent Online
Chapter 58 There is no exit here.
Although Happy Station sounds good.
However, when it came to actually getting off the safe subway and arriving at the unknown platform, the players tacitly agreed that no one dared to be the first to do so.
But just then, Xia Xiaoqin leaned closer to the car window and saw something different deep inside the platform in the black and white world.
—In a deep corner, there seemed to be a staircase leading to some unseen upper level, and at the top of the staircase, a blurry shadow flickered.
Xia Xiaoqin's eyes widened, thinking she was seeing things.
"There's someone there!" one of the players peering out the window suddenly exclaimed, excitedly poking at the glass with his finger. "Look, there are stairs in there! Someone's walking on them!"
The carriage immediately stirred into a commotion.
Having experienced the terror of being hit on the head, everyone's nerves were stretched to the limit, but that blurry human figure was a lifeline suddenly thrown down their throat.
After all, by inertia, the presence of a shadow means there are living people, and the presence of living people means there is an exit.
"Maybe this is the exit!" A young woman stood up, her eyes gleaming with hope. "Didn't the announcement say we should get off at the correct platform—Happy Station? That name is clearly correct!"
"Yeah, those other platforms, like the 'Head Station' and the 'Heart Station,' sounded like dead ends. The 'Happy Station' is definitely a place for survival!"
Several players couldn't wait and crowded towards the car door.
But the car door hadn't opened yet, so they could only wait anxiously at the entrance, like a group of trapped beasts waiting for the gate to open.
Xia Xiaoqin did not move.
She glanced back at Lu Yang.
"What do you think? Should we take a gamble?"
Lu Yang did not answer immediately.
He leaned back in his seat, his long, slender fingers casually picking up a strand of Xia Xiaoqin's hair that had fallen over her shoulder, slowly twirling it around his fingertips.
"I don't know." The man's voice was low, with a languid ease. "But I'm willing to listen to you, darling, whatever the outcome, I'll accept it willingly."
Xia Xiaoqin couldn't help but reach out, pinch his nose, and shake it from side to side.
"Are you planning to entrust your life entirely to me? Then be serious! Why are you suddenly so relaxed?!"
Lu Yang narrowed his eyes, a faint smile appearing on his face, followed by a hint of doting affection. He swayed his neck slightly in sync with the rhythm of Xia Xiaoqin's movements.
"Darling, what if these were the last few minutes of my life?"
"Then I just want to spend my time looking at you, so this is my choice. Please forgive my selfishness."
Upon hearing this, Xia Xiaoqin released her grip.
Then she lowered her head, like a little animal comforting its companion, and gently rubbed Lu Yang's forehead.
"Don't worry, we will survive."
laugh--
The car door opened.
Almost the instant the car door opened, the players who had been clamoring to get off suddenly hesitated.
They stood at the entrance, peering cautiously onto the platform, pushing and shoving, none of them willing to be the first to take that step.
"Does anyone want to go down?"
The female player who first suggested getting out of the car turned around and asked, her excitement largely dissipated by the cold wind that rushed in after the car door opened.
Just then, another figure flashed by on the stairs deep inside the subway.
The shadow was clearer than before, and one could vaguely make out the outline of a person climbing the steps with light steps.
"Someone else! Someone is really walking!"
At this point, the restlessness in the carriage could no longer be contained.
The windows were crowded with people, all eagerly peering out.
Xia Xiaoqin didn't squeeze in with them, and nervously looked up at the electronic screen.
The names of the eighteen stations are arranged in order, and the red dot of light is currently on the fifth station, "Happy Station".
Because of Leopard Brother's gang's interference, they missed the memorial station and the murderer station. After the happiness station, the next stations are the fear station, the eyeball station, the euthanasia station... Each name is more bloody and bizarre than the previous one.
"So, what exactly are the rules of this subway?"
Xia Xiaoqin pondered deeply.
—The person who stood up with their head down earlier has had their head ripped off.
There seems to be some direct connection between the station name and the manner of death.
What would the Happiness Station be? It can't be the loss of happiness, can it?
"I can't take it anymore! I want to get off!"
As Xia Xiaoqin was pondering, a middle-aged man pushed through the crowd and strode out of the car.
The moment his foot touched the platform, he froze for a moment, then the fear on his face faded at a visible speed, replaced by an almost ecstatic smile.
"It's here! It really is here!"
He turned around, waved to the people in the carriage, his voice trembling with excitement.
"I'm fine! I'm perfectly alright! This is the right platform!"
Seeing that the middle-aged man was really alright, the carriage erupted in chaos.
"Hurry! Get down here!"
"I knew it was here! Happy Station, it sounded right!"
"Don't push! Let me off!"
The crowd surged toward the car door like a floodgate had been opened.
Those players who were hesitant just moments before are now scrambling to jump off the platform, afraid that if they are a step too late the doors will close.
More and more people gathered on the platform, their faces beaming with relief. Some even excitedly ran towards the stairs.
Within seconds, half of the carriage where Xia Xiaoqin was located was empty.
"Are you leaving?"
Under the stark white light, Lu Yang stood still and asked a question.
The towering figure appeared even larger in the light, seemingly trying to block out the last rays of light.
The doorbell rang.
beep-
The sound of the door closing echoed in the empty carriage; time was running out.
Xia Xiaoqin's gaze was fixed on the black and white platform outside the window.
Through the window, she saw the players who had jumped off the car running towards the stairs, their steps light and their faces filled with the ecstatic joy of surviving a disaster.
The blurry figure on the stairs was still there, and excitedly ran towards them.
"We're not leaving."
Xia Xiaoqin gritted her teeth and made a decision.
"I don't believe this platform! How could anyone be here under these circumstances!?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Yang reached out to Xia Xiaoqin, his large, warm hand grasping the girl's trembling fingertips, their fingers slowly interlocking.
"it is good."
The car door closed.
The moment the metal door closed, the view outside the window suddenly changed.
The middle-aged man who was the first to reach the stairwell suddenly stopped, his smile freezing on his face, and then he let out a scream that was out of tune.
"Dead end! The stairs lead to a dead end, it's a wall! There's no way out!!!"
Immediately afterwards, another voice exploded, filled with anger and fear.
"Who are you? Who are you! Why are you climbing these stairs?!"
On the stairs, the blurry figure was finally revealed in the stark white light.
He was a ragged man with tangled, dirty braids that dragged down his back. His cheeks were sunken, his eyes were deep-set, and he was as thin as a walking skeleton.
He scrambled down the stairs, like a wild beast that had been trapped for too long, and ran wildly toward the carriage.
"Don't drive away! Don't drive away! Let me in!"
The man roared, his voice hoarse like sandpaper scraping against an iron plate.
"I'm from the previous group of players! I've been stuck here for a week! This is a dead end! There's no way out!"
