Evil Spirit Consultant

Chapter 302 The Fearful Son

Aiko felt she must be crazy to have stayed up so late singing karaoke with her friends, missing the regular last train, and ended up having to bite the bullet and board this "ghost train" that she didn't know if it was an extra train or something.

The carriage was empty, with only a few scattered passengers besides her, all with their heads down, motionless as if they were fast asleep.

The lights were also frighteningly dim, flickering on and off, and making a crackling electrical sound, which gave her the creeps.

What made her most uneasy was that the train was going faster and faster, and... the view outside the window was so strange!

It wasn't like a typical subway tunnel at all; instead, it was a series of distorted and blurry lights and shadows, like a spilled palette of colors, making her dizzy and disoriented.

"Where...where are we going?" Aiko asked, clutching her schoolbag, her body trembling slightly.

She took out her phone to call home, but found the screen was completely black and nothing happened no matter how she pressed the buttons!
out of battery?
That's impossible! She just filled it up before she left!
An ominous premonition, like a cold, venomous snake, crept into her heart.

She mustered her courage and wanted to get up and go to the front of the carriage to check on the driver's cab, or ask other passengers for information.

But the few passengers with their heads down exuded an indescribable eeriness that made her afraid to approach them.

Just as she was at a loss, the train suddenly slowed down and then came to a slow stop with a screeching sound.

Have we arrived yet? Which station is it?

Aiko quickly looked out the window, but her heart clenched suddenly!
The subway station outside the window wasn't one of the subway stations she was familiar with at all!

This is an extremely dilapidated and desolate platform, resembling a ruin!

The platform lights were so dim that it was almost impossible to see anything, the walls were peeling and mottled, and covered with a thick layer of dust and cobwebs.

The lettering on the bus stop sign was blurry, but the station name, "Ruyue," could be vaguely discerned.

Kisaragi?

Where is this? She's never heard of this station before!
laugh……

The car door slowly opened, and a cold, damp smell with a strong musty odor rushed out.

Aiko shrank back in fright, clutching her schoolbag tightly, too scared to get off the bus.

Just then, the old loudspeaker on the platform suddenly emitted a piercing static, followed by a broken, hoarse voice that seemed to come from the depths of hell:
"Dear...passenger...Kisaragi...the station...has arrived...please...be careful..."

The voice was neither male nor female, filled with eerie echoes, as if countless people were speaking at the same time in different tones, making Aiko's scalp tingle and giving her goosebumps.

What terrified her even more was the strange noises that could be faintly heard coming from the thick, impenetrable darkness outside the platform.

It sounded like someone was drumming, or perhaps someone was chanting softly, along with a faint, almost imperceptible sound of bells…

No! That's not right! That's not the sound of a bell!
That sounded more like... the sound of something dragging heavy chains!

Aiko was so frightened that her body trembled like a leaf.

She closed her eyes tightly, covered her ears with her schoolbag, curled up in her seat, and kept muttering, "It's a dream! It must be a dream! Wake up! Wake up!"

Tears streamed uncontrollably down my cheeks.

She felt like she had been thrown into the set of a horror movie, surrounded by malice and the unknown.

A train without a driver, a station that doesn't exist, eerie announcements, and chilling sounds outside the station... Where am I?!

Will she ever be able to go home?!
Will Mom and Dad go crazy with worry?!

Overwhelmed by immense fear and despair, she could even feel the temperature in the carriage drop even further, the chilling atmosphere seeming to seep into her bones.

She dared not open her eyes, dared not make a sound, and dared not even breathe too loudly, for fear of disturbing some terrible thing lurking in the darkness.

Time seemed to freeze at that moment, each second feeling like an eternity.

Aiko could only clutch her schoolbag tightly, immersed in her fear and despair, like a kitten abandoned in a stormy night, helplessly awaiting its unknown fate.

At the other end of this carriage, filled with an atmosphere of despair, a pair of calm and deep eyes slowly opened, like cold stars quietly shining in the darkness.

Yang Liu slowly opened her eyes, as if waking from a slumber.

He was not affected by the eerie environment and terrifying atmosphere around him. His deep eyes calmly swept over the dilapidated and desolate "Kisaragi Station" outside the train window, and then he observed the situation inside the carriage without making a sound.

The passengers, who looked like wax figures, kept their heads down, unchanged, as if they were just background figures in this eerie space.

At the other end of the carriage, a girl huddled in her seat, trembling, radiated fear and despair that seemed almost tangible, standing out vividly in the deathly silence of the carriage.

It's understandable that ordinary people would feel fear in this environment, Yang Liu understands, but he has more important things to do now.

He stood up, ready to get out of the car and begin his exploration.

Its tall figure stirred up a gentle breeze, causing the previously stagnant air to begin to move.

His movements seemed to startle the girl who was immersed in fear.

"Who?!" Aiko suddenly raised her head, her eyes brimming with tears, and looked in the direction from which the voice came.

When she saw an extremely burly man, almost touching the roof of the carriage, walking towards the door, she was so frightened that she almost screamed!
In this godforsaken place, the sudden appearance of such an oppressive figure instilled in her an even greater sense of fear.

This person... this person isn't some kind of monster in disguise, is he?!

Yang Liu noticed the girl's fear and paused slightly in her steps.

He turned his head to look at the frightened girl. Tears still clung to her face, her body trembled violently with fear, and her eyes were filled with despair and wariness.

He thought about it and realized that if he left the girl here alone, given her current mental state, she would probably be quickly consumed by the negative energy here, or she might scare herself into a madness.

After thinking it over, Yang Liu changed her mind and turned around to walk towards her beloved son.

His steps were steady and powerful, each step seemingly treading on his beloved son's heartbeat.

Aiko held her breath in fright, pressing her body tightly against the back of the seat, watching in terror as the tall man drew closer.

However, Yang Liu stopped a few steps away from her beloved son.

He leaned forward slightly, trying to make his expression look less "fierce," although his angular face and two-meter height made it hard to associate him with "kindness."
