Fortunately, there was light ahead soon.
After turning a corner, a brightly lit yet empty hall appeared before them.
Lin Fan finally breathed a sigh of relief and was able to breathe properly.
The staff member turned off the flashlight, put his phone in his pocket, turned around and said to the two people with a smile.
"Sorry, it was so dark out there just now, and I was a little nervous, so I didn't greet you two. I'm the person in charge of control for this line."
This person also clearly looked relieved, not much better than Lin Fan.
He was talking to John Woo and naturally didn't notice that there was someone here who was more nervous than him.
"It's okay. It's hard work for you to stay on duty in this situation." John Woo smiled understandingly and walked to his side, chatting with him as they walked.
"Alas! There's nothing we can do about it." The person in charge shook his head. "The train has to come, and someone has to be on duty at the station. We can't let the elderly, the weak, the women, and the children who've worked hard all day get on board, right? Those of similar age either have families and children, or they simply don't dare."
"It's just me. I can feed my whole family, and I'm just a small leader. So, I have to lead by example, hahaha..." The person in charge said with a wry smile, then whispered to Wu Yusen. "But I heard that young men have hot tempers. Is that true?"
"It's true." John Woo nodded with a smile.
The person in charge sighed deeply, his expression visibly brightening. "That's good, that's good."
Lin Fan has worked in Gaohe for many years and commutes by subway almost every day.
She had seen it when there were many people and when there were few people, but this was the first time she had seen it so empty.
Oh, there are three of them.
She felt scared just now when it was pitch black and there were only three of them.
Now that there was light, she could see everything clearly, but she still felt uncomfortable.
Is it because there are so few people? Right? Right?
Lin Fan kept muttering to himself to give himself courage while following John Woo closely.
"Okay, the stairs ahead lead to the subway platform. The woman who came earlier is already down there." The person in charge led them for a long distance before suddenly stopping. "I'm not going down anymore. I need to go back and check the surveillance."
"Okay, you go ahead and do your thing. We'll let you know when we're done. Did you leave your phone number?" John Woo asked with a smile.
"I saved it for that female comrade." The person in charge said and glanced at his watch.
"Okay, we won't keep you any longer, go ahead." How could John Woo not see his anxiety?
It was almost midnight, and the person in charge didn't bother to be polite and just turned and left. His steps were so hurried that it felt like he was about to run.
"Let's go." Wu Yusen greeted him with a smile when he saw Lin Fan's eyes following the person in charge as he ran away.
"Oh oh." Lin Fan hurried to catch up.
There are even fewer people. Oh my god, it seems even scarier...
The two walked down the long staircase.
The elevator had been shut down for a long time. Otherwise, if the elevator was still running at this time, Lin Fan would find it even more strange.
The station was still brightly lit, but empty.
"Hey, this station, I remember it originally had a half-enclosed screen door. When was it changed to a fully enclosed one?" Lin Fan looked at the brand new decoration, which was obviously installed not long ago.
Due to safety concerns, most indoor subway platforms are equipped with fully enclosed platform screen doors on the outside, which will only be opened to allow people to enter after the train arrives at the station.
There are only a few stations that, for unknown reasons, have been installing half-length platform screen doors.
This station is one of them.
Lin Fan had taken the bus at this station several times before.
I don’t know if it’s because it’s not fully shielded and is exposed to outside air, but it’s extremely hot in the summer.
Lin Fan had been here several times during the summer, so he was particularly impressed by this station. He even complained about it, wondering if they had replaced the door and made the air conditioning more powerful.
"Sister Xu." Wu Yusen suddenly spoke, startling Lin Fan.
Looking to the side, I saw a thin and pale woman walking out silently from behind the wall behind the stairs.
If Lin Fan were here alone, he would probably be scared to death.
Of course, it’s probably impossible for her to come alone.
Lin Fan quickly overlapped the person in front of him with his memories.
Compared to his unkempt appearance last time, he looked much more normal this time. His clothes were neat and his expression was calm.
"Yeah." Sister Xu nodded gently, walked forward, and fixed her eyes on Lin Fan behind her. "Long time no see. I heard you're very successful now."
Lin Fan was stunned and waved his hand habitually, "No, no..."
Sister Xu held her hands down, her hands as cold as her words. "Do you know that excessive modesty is actually pride?"
Lin Fan choked.
John Woo frowned slightly, then relaxed and stood aside without saying anything.
"You'd better remember that you are a minister." Sister Xu moved her hand away, and Lin Fan's frozen feeling disappeared.
"Yes, I'm sorry..." Lin Fan knew that this was not very "minister-like", but he still apologized unconsciously.
The old man's aura is really scary...
Sister Xu's cold face showed neither anger nor indifference. After a few seconds of silence, she said coldly, "Be more confident."
Is this encouragement? Lin Fan looked at Sister Xu in disbelief.
Her face was still cold and nothing could be seen.
But Lin Fan's feeling was completely different from before. His mood seemed to slowly improve. He smiled and replied, "Okay!"
Seeing that she was inappropriately amused, Sister Xu looked at her for two seconds and then turned to Wu Yusen. "You haven't said anything yet?"
John Woo touched his nose guiltily, lowered his head and dared not look directly at her.
What? Lin Fan looked at this, then at that.
"Do you know exactly what this mission is?" Sister Xu no longer relied on John Woo and asked Lin Fan directly.
"I don't know." Lin Fan shook his head. "I was just about to ask."
"A few months ago, there was an accident on this subway, causing severe congestion on other lines..." Sister Xu's shrill voice echoed in the empty platform.
Lin Fan remembered the time when he was almost crushed to death and asked if it happened on the same day.
Sister Xu nodded and said yes. "They told us it was an accident, but in reality, someone was lying on the tracks."
"Huh? Lying on the railway tracks?" Lin Fan subconsciously looked towards the emergency door.
Even though it was in half gear before, it was still at least 1.23 meters high. If the train didn't enter the station and the door didn't open, how could I lie down? Unless I jumped over the emergency door...
"Yes, it's just what you think." Sister Xu looked at Lin Fan's rich facial expressions and nodded.
Lin Fan's eyes widened. "No way? So brave?" He then asked, "Where's that guy? Is he okay?"
"Of course he died on the spot." Sister Xu continued coldly, "This guy was really determined. He specifically found the front of the car and confirmed that the car had entered the station before flipping it over. There was no way to avoid it."
Before Lin Fan could sigh, he heard Sister Xu say again.
"It's the door next to you, where you're standing."
Hahaha, Emma, I had so much space to save a draft yesterday, and ended up posting it all in the morning.
The content of the previous chapter has been changed, please go back and take a look. The word count of the two chapters is similar, and the price remains the same.
Am I just not destined to save drafts? Fine, I'll post all three chapters today, and they'll be gone this afternoon.
Thank you all for your hard work and companionship for so long.
bow.
