Chapter 879: By Your Side
This is Gan Xiaoyan’s first time traveling far away. In fact, it’s the same for everyone else.
The system of zoning work among nine subjects means that the nine subjects in one place may not need to go out to other places in their lives. Moreover, they are usually busy with work. When they finally have a vacation, they will lie lazily at home and sleep heavily, and no one will go out. Travel far away.
But when this situation suddenly occurs on the high-speed rail, it is not normal in any way.
Judging from the incident of Leilei's attack, it is obvious that there is something behind this incident, and the target must still be Leilei.
Speaking of Leilei, she is still in a coma. If she can't wake up, she just can't wake up. There's no point in worrying, otherwise Leilei can still talk about what's going on.
Although Jiu Ke deals with supernatural phenomena and creatures, most of them are just ordinary people, relying on experience and equipment.
No one has seen this situation before, and no one has read similar information. There is no experience to draw from.
As for the equipment...
This can only mean that time is tight and preparations are not complete.
Since the nine departments work in different areas, personnel cannot move around at will. Unless permission is obtained from the General Administration, entering the jurisdiction of other nine departments without permission is a violation of internal disciplines.
This is done to prevent anyone within the Ninth Section from relying on supernatural things to make profits for themselves, and also to prevent the local gangsters from running rampant, and to prevent the local Ninth Section from uniting to fight against the General Administration.
Since the main militant faction in the Nine Sections advocated the complete elimination of monsters, Qian Sen could not explain the matter too clearly, so he only assigned Gan Xiaoyan and the others the identity of a 'headquarters commissioner' to investigate the suddenly lost local branch in Jingzhou. This title.
And because of the hasty action, there was no time to say hello to the railway department. Naturally, it was impossible to bring things like pistols on the train, nor could I get a swing stick or anything like that.
So Gan Xiaoyan and the others were literally unarmed now, they only brought some equipment that would not be intercepted by security.
What's even more uncomfortable is that there are only two people in Qian Sen's jurisdiction who can be considered capable of fighting.
One is Lei Lei, who is in a coma.
One is Li Chengqi, who went to take a dump.
There was no third person to help.
In this weird silence, Gan Xiaoyan took a deep breath and tried to calm down.
At this time, another disturbing situation occurred.
The lights in the rear compartment began to flicker, as if there was a bad connection, and were accompanied by thunder roaring outside the compartment, as if it was some kind of special drumbeat.
Everyone felt their throats tighten, as if a pair of invisible hands were gently grabbing their throats and threatening to strangle them to death at any time. This also made everyone couldn't help but touch their necks to make sure there was nothing on them.
The frequency of flickering was getting higher and higher, and Gan Xiaoyan knew that she couldn't continue to watch like this.
"Everyone take out their cloaks, we must not cause chaos."
Gan Xiaoyan's words woke up the others who were in a state of fear. They quickly opened their shoulder bags and took out their folded cloaks.
It is said to be a cloak, but in fact the fabric is more similar to a raincoat, and the color is similar to a raincoat. Some even have cartoon patterns on them. An uninformed person would think it is just a plastic raincoat.
But this is actually the life-saving straw that Jiuke relies on for its survival.
There was no time to put them on, so everyone huddled on their seats, then covered their bodies with their shielding cloaks, carefully pressing the corners to ensure that their bodies were not exposed.
Obscuring cloaks can avoid many detections, the most important of which is that they allow undead creatures to turn a blind eye to the people under the cloak.
The way undead creatures observe the world is of course different from that of living people. Not to mention whether zombies' eyes still have functions, ghosts that don't even have entities must observe the world with other than their naked eyes.
In the eyes of undead creatures, the world is a large messy and cold line, but in their eyes, living people are like glowing red beams, which are extremely conspicuous. The concealing cloak can block the signals of living people. To the undead, there are no living people here at all.
Maybe Gan Xiaoyan thought this was something a ghost was causing trouble. After all, the style of painting looks very ghostly.
By the way, wasn't it a monster that caused trouble this time?
Why are there still ghosts?
This is because ghosts and ghosts do not separate themselves into different families.
In the eyes of monsters, when a person becomes a spirit, he is a ghost.
There are also monsters that form alliances with powerful ghosts, but no one can say for sure.
Because Gan Xiaoyan was smaller, she shared a cloak with Lei Lei. She protected Lei Lei and lay on top of her, then covered her with the cloak.
The cloak was transparent, and his field of vision became dim, and he could vaguely see that the lights in his car began to flicker and flicker.
No one dared to take a breath. They were now like children who watched horror movies during the day and kept having scary scenes in their minds in the middle of the night. They huddled up in the quilt, as if they only felt safe here. It is a barrier that monsters and ghosts cannot break through.
This behavior is rather ostrich, but it is also the only way at present. I can only hope that Li Chengqi will find that they are missing when he comes back, and then look for them.
The frequency of the flashing light became faster and faster, and finally with the faint sound of the wick, the light disappeared completely, and the inside and outside of the cloak fell into darkness.
Everyone seemed to be able to hear their own breathing and the thumping sound of their heart beating violently. They quickly covered their mouths and noses, trying to slow down their breathing and calm themselves down.
In this extremely quiet environment, they heard it.
——Stab it...
——Stab it...
It was like the sound of some sharp metal object being dragged on the floor. It was slight, but in this extremely quiet environment, it was more piercing than any other sound.
This sound in particular seemed to be getting closer and closer, heading towards their position.
No one dared to lift the cloak and take a look. The blocking effect of the shielding cloak was purely due to the special material. If the breath of a living person was leaked, it might be detected by the undead.
The sound was getting closer and closer. The sultry heat and slight lack of oxygen made Gan Xiaoyan feel a little dazed. She felt like she smelled a sweet smell. It was not clear whether it was from the car or the perfume on Lei Lei's body. It was hard to describe. A special scent.
Then Gan Xiaoyan shuddered, and her consciousness was in a trance for a moment. The cold shiver just made her regain consciousness.
An idea suddenly popped into my head.
This scent is like sweet blood.
Even Gan Xiaoyan herself didn't know why this idea suddenly popped up, but it was extremely strong.
She hugged Lei Lei tightly, and the body temperature of a living person brought a sense of security.
She suppressed the unstoppable trembling on her shoulders, and silently prayed in her heart that all this would pass quickly.
But things often backfire in this world.
A faint sound of footsteps, mixed with the sound of shuffling and shuffling, did not go away, but was gradually approaching.
Until a moment later, the sound stopped.
But Gan Xiaoyan didn't have any peace of mind, because she seemed to be able to feel that something was standing next to her, with only the thin fabric of the covering cloak between them...
