Chapter 15 The Extra Thirteenth Person
"Ruyue Station? Where is what?"
Among the crowd, a man wearing sunglasses, black clothes and black pants, and as thin as a bamboo pole, asked in confusion.
"It's not surprising if you don't know... The rumors about Ruyue Station have actually only been circulating on the Internet for a while, and it's normal that you haven't heard of them."
Liu Gangcheng laughed, but he didn't hide it, and just explained the story about "Ruyue Station" openly.
The story of "Ruyue Station" is not complicated, and this story comes from a message in a well-known anonymous online section.
At that time, someone posted a message saying, "I think the route I took on this train is a bit weird..."
According to the message from the person involved, the tram he was taking did not stop at the stop site, but after finally stopping, he came to a strange unmanned station.
The unmanned station has the words "As a moon" written on the sign of this unmanned station, but no matter which train route, the name of this station is not.
The person involved used his mobile phone to call his family and left a message on the Internet describing the situation on the scene. Although the person tried to return to his home from there, he was forced to take a taxi driven by a suspicious person and lost contact while on the way.
Afterwards, according to many speculations, they believed that "Ruyue Station" was not a real station, but an "entry" connecting another world, and belonged to a different world that cannot be stepped into by humans.
After hearing these words, everyone present showed different expressions. Some people couldn't help but feel a little nervous, some were excited about it, and more people looked at each other and were a little at a loss about the status quo.
Zhicang was hiding behind the scenes, carefully observing the expressions of everyone present.
After listening to the story of "Ruyue Station", the changes in the faces of the eleven people in the group were really interesting.
However, he also noticed some interesting details.
Zhicang Dongye came to a conclusion from the facial expressions of the crowd, that is, these people who participated in the "impeachment ceremony" mostly regarded ordinary people as the "main".
Many of the people present knew that this place was "Ruyue Station", and their attitudes were more in line with the behavior of ordinary people, but there were a few people who were completely different.
"These people are obviously not simple, I think they must be not ordinary people..."
There are also several people worth noting among this group of people, such as the girl wearing a black sailor suit, which is one of them.
She should be a master of swordsmanship and also carried a sword on her body - there were only two women here, one of whom was her, and the other was the red-haired woman. These two women knew that there was a risk in attending the impeachment ceremony, but they dared to come here in person. If they were not skilled and brave, they would have something to rely on.
"That guy is as thin as a bamboo pole, and the man who just said that this is Ruyue Station. I remember that his name seems to be Liu Gangcheng. These two people are not simple either. Since they came here, their expressions have not changed much."
These two people had little expressions throughout the whole process. If it weren't for the character of "the mountain of Tai collapsed in front of him and his face remained unchanged" - then it can only be said that these two people had a certain degree of prediction about the current situation.
This also forms a sharp contrast with others. After all, this has already involved supernatural phenomena. Although the existence of the ghost is a bit bizarre, it can be understood at least. However, everyone just took the train for a while and suddenly came to "Ruyue Station". This is not ordinary outrageous.
"That baby face is also a bit weird. This guy seems to be hiding deeply and pretending very well. I can't judge how strong he is."
He murmured again at the baby face of the suit, which looked like an ordinary working-class man.
The other party's previous performance was inconspicuous and gave people a sense of cowardice. Even the strong man like a wrestler could easily grasp him.
But the actual situation is probably not the case. For example, the girl in a black sailor suit said when she went out, "Bullying the weak is not a skill." This is probably not what she said to the muscular man.
Zhikura Touye thought, the girl might mean that man.
...Yes, what is really teasing people is the seemingly inconspicuous baby face.
"So, I'm afraid she can see that this baby face is hiding its strength?"
Zhicang inspected the people present at the winter night.
"A high school girl wearing black sailor suits, a woman with long red hair, a thin man like a bamboo pole, a young man named 'Liu Gangcheng', and a baby face that looks like a working person. At present, only these five people are worth noting. Others except these five people are obviously very ordinary."
Zhicang Dongye was not sure what the specific screening method of the impeachment knife ceremony was, but at least he could now determine that these five people in the team were a bit capable, and these five people might become their competitors.
(Of course, there is no hidden deep type among the other people present...)
"If this is really Ruyue Station, how do we need to leave here."
"Wait a minute, didn't Liu Gangcheng say that just now? This may be a 'trial'. Now it's probably not enough to just consider how to leave here..."
"Then, why did the Forging Academy test us in this way? It's a bit puzzling!"
Several of the group also gathered together to discuss it.
Liu Gangcheng and the man in black clothes and black pants began to slowly pace around the station and check the surrounding facilities.
The woman in red stayed in the waiting room, sitting on a faded water-blue bench, holding the canned beer in her right hand and filling the wine with a heroic drink.
At the same time, Kurosaki Saya wrapped her hands in front of her chest, and she was also thinking about what the man named "Liu Gangcheng" said.
I was wondering whether the other party’s statement was correct. Are my group really “accepting” the test of the Forging Academy clan?
"The note just asked us to take the last bus to meet at a certain location, but did not reveal much information. With just such a few clues, we cannot determine what the real purpose of the Forging Academy is?"
——It is said that it is a "trial", so of course it has some intentions. So what are you planning to do when the Forging Academy arranges this?
There is a street light on the platform. Under the illumination of the only yellow light bulb, you can notice that the station with the "Wangyue Station" sign is not big, and it is surrounded by thick fog.
The train that the group was riding was parked in front of the stop tracks. No, after everyone left, they found that it was not a train, but just a carriage, which was parked alone on the rails. In the white fog, the rails on the ground continued to extend forward through the station. In the end, the rails were also flooded by endless fog.
“…It’s like being trapped on an isolated island on land.”
Kurosaki Saya realized that he and his group were trapped on an isolated island, with white mist like the sea, and this small station was the only island floating on the sea.
Her eyes were patrolling around her, but she didn't notice anything. Her eyes finally fell on the glass window of the duty room. The door of the duty room was open and it was empty inside. There were a few posters on the glass, but the poster itself was blurred and could not see anything.
However, Kurosaki Saya could see the figures reflected on the black glass.
"I remember I counted it when I got off the bus. There were twelve people including me, one, two, three, four..."
She glanced at the figure on the glass, moved her lips a few times, and counted.
"Nine, ten, eleven, twelve...hey, thirteen..."
Suddenly, her subtle voice stopped.
Kurosaki Saya felt a chill climbing up to his brain.
This was impossible. She shook her head hard and decided to count it again.
"Start again! Maybe I'm dazzled, but I'll just be sure of it this time."
She said it silently in her heart again.
“…eleven, twelve…thirteen again?”
Xiaoye counted the second time, and thirteen figures still appeared on the dark glass.
Thirteen, why is Thirteen? I remember very clearly that there were only twelve people coming out of the carriage.
