Lin Xiao looked around.

It seemed that there were only the three of them on the entire subway, and it hadn't been cleaned in a long time. The seats were covered in dust and some torn clothes, and the floor was covered with various kinds of rotten garbage.

Although it's unclear why the subway is still running, it's obvious that this train only has one final stop.

He saw the subway station information; only the last station was lit up.

It's called "Station Seven".

"For team dungeons, especially on Nightmare difficulty, the most important thing is to trigger the main quest so that you don't go astray."

"As it stands," Lin Xiao said, glancing around.

"This subway has five carriages, and you can see right through them."

"But only this carriage has signs of damage and scattered items. Besides us, there must have been other people in this carriage who fought. The signs of the fight are still quite obvious, but there is no blood or corpses. It's possible that no one died."

"We might be attacked by something unknown before we even reach the final destination."

Lin Xiao looked at the two of them: "Do you have anything to add or any new discoveries?"

Hu Long coughed and said, "No, Brother Lin, you're amazing."

Besides flattering him and trying to curry favor, he genuinely admired him, since he couldn't discern much from him.

"Hmm..." Lin Xiao looked at Shen Ye: "And what about you?"

"Okay, then I'll explain."

Shen Ye paused slightly: "A battle did indeed take place. There were six people in this carriage. Five of them were killed, and the remaining one was the target they needed to protect. His fate is unknown."

?

"The one attacking them might be a monster... with superhuman strength and speed, capable of keeping up with a moving subway."

? ?

"Also, there's no need to worry about being attacked before they arrive. They were killed by a mysterious monster that broke in through a window while they were protecting the target as they left."

"One of them was thinking about his daughter before he died."

???

Lin Xiao was completely stunned.

I tolerated everything before!

The last sentence broke their composure!

Even my daughter came!

You were only asked to relay information, not to create stories!

Chapter 30 I kneel before Master Shen!

The carriage remained silent for quite some time.

Shen Ye smiled calmly: "Why are you looking at me?"

“Friend…” Hu Long held up a finger and waved it in front of Shen Ye’s eyes: “Take a closer look, how many is this?”

He felt that Shen Ye might be a bit too corrupted, and might have seen something unclean.

Don't say it.

He was actually half right; the contamination levels were indeed too high, but his mental state was perfectly fine...

"Don't look at me like I'm a god," Shen Ye said calmly.

"No, I think it's because the character for 'person' is missing after 'god'." Hu Long refused to believe it: "That's ridiculous. How can someone read other people's thoughts?"

"Tell me your thoughts." Although Lin Xiao didn't believe it either, it was better for someone to offer something new than to say nothing at all. Even if it was wrong, he could help judge it.

"First of all, you've overlooked the most important point."

"dust."

Shen Ye calmly said, "Although it's not very obvious under this light, you'll find it if you look closely..."

"The dust on these six seats is much thinner than in other places, proving that six people were sitting in these seats. They didn't wipe much dust off their backs, and everyone was in a state of extreme tension and vigilance. The person in the middle left... only sat on the edge of the seat, and there wasn't a single speck of dust wiped off their back."

"This means that he was leaning forward, more nervous and fearful than anyone else. In addition, due to his position, he was the one who was brought out from somewhere by those five people to be protected."

Hu Long couldn't help but say, "Isn't this a bit too hasty? What if they were all six of them who came to this place together?"

“He’s right.” Lin Xiao remained silent for a long time before speaking: “The only place where there were no signs of a fight just now was on that chair.”

However, Lin Xiao still asked, "Why do you say they were attacked by the monster when they were leaving?"

"The fragments of their belongings left here include gauze, painkillers, and other medical items, proving that they had gone through a dangerous ordeal. In addition, the pieces of clothing all have sharp edges that were dragged out, and the places where the clothes fell to the ground match the marks of the battle."

Lin Xiao's eyelids twitched:

"That monster?"

“This glass has been recently replaced.” Shen Ye reached out and pressed his hand against the glass behind the seat. “If you look closer, you’ll see… there are a few claw marks on the outer edge of the glass.”

"It shattered the glass and charged at these people. To protect the people they had brought from somewhere, none of them ran away; they fought back desperately."

Shen Ye said slowly, "Unfortunately, it ultimately had no... effect."

"The last person to die... could only fall helplessly under the seat, using his last strength to grasp the pocket watch his daughter had given him."

Shen Ye reached out his hand, and a pocket watch fell from his hand. On it was a picture of an eight or nine-year-old girl with blonde hair, her face full of smiles.

"Where did this come from?" Hu Long was a little confused.

Lin Xiao also had doubts. What he was certain of was that the items scattered on the subway were just fragments, with nothing to refer to. Items like pocket watches should be quite obvious.

wrong.

Lin Xiao suddenly paused. Shen Ye had woken up earlier than them... exactly how much earlier, they didn't know yet, but it was definitely not just a few seconds.

Shen Ye calmly replied, "In short, that's the situation. I personally believe this is the main plotline of rescuing the hostages, and..."

He looked out the subway window, using a pendant as a plumb line: "Judging from this angle, we're still going downhill."

"The subway is heading towards some underground location. Judging from the fact that the bodies and bloodstains have been cleaned up and the glass has been replaced, besides monsters, there might also be... people watching us through surveillance cameras right now."

"The person we need to rescue is very important, and that's pretty much all the information we can deduce."

Shen Ye had said so much, but the two of them had already fallen silent.

Because a pop-up window for the main quest has appeared in front of you.

[20% of the raid's lore has been fully revealed]

Main quest triggered

[Rescue Mr. Hua]

Not only Hu Long, but even Lin Xiao was still shocked.

Detective Conan has started airing? Is it true?

The main quest was triggered just like that!

Shen Ye, looking at the main questline, muttered to himself, "Interesting, it's actually about rescuing Watson..."

"No, bro, even if you can't read, you should at least be able to count!" Hu Luan couldn't help but want to complain.

"Really? That's not important. Get ready, the subway is starting to slow down." Shen Ye put away his pocket watch and looked ahead.

"Okay," Lin Xiao replied instinctively.

He was somewhat stunned, feeling as if he had lost command. However... this newcomer was indeed very good at reasoning information, and he had to admit it.

However, when it comes to fighting, we'll still have to rely on him.

After all, at levels 4 and 5, they probably don't even have decent weapons, let alone useful skills.

The subway emitted a piercing braking sound, which reached the ears of the three people through the enclosed glass.

Hu Long pulled out a pistol.

"You even have a gun."

Hu Long coughed and said, "I bought this item from a dungeon by spending all my money. The gun makes me feel safer than those melee weapons, and the key is that it has unlimited ammo!"

Lin Xiao nodded, acknowledging Hu Long's preparations.

Guns do have some use in the early stages, but they will soon be obsolete unless they acquire new attributes.

Lin Xiao raised his hand, gripping a long sword tightly, its cold light flashing, and a dangerous aura emanating from it.

"I'll go first."

"Even though there are only three of us this time, I believe we can make it to the end and complete the mission."

Shen Ye did have some weapon-type equipment, but there was no need... so he was too embarrassed to take it.

That broken fruit knife is like stabbing yourself if you stab someone else; you might as well not take it.

The subway quickly came to a stop, and the lights in the entire carriage suddenly dimmed, turning a dangerous red!

The door clicked open.

[Station 7 has been reached]

A cold, emotionless, mechanical female voice came through.

It seemed they were being urged to get off the bus.

The three of them left the subway station, only to find themselves in a passageway called Zone 7...

"Let's go."

"It seems we have no other choice." Hu Long looked ahead.

It seems that only this staircase can lead us forward.

"How about we wait here for a while?"

Lin Xiao calmly looked behind him: "I can't wait any longer. I sense... danger. Something seems to be behind us."

Shen Ye looked at the death line; there were less than twenty meters left.
