If I don't have money to go to college, I can only go to slay the dragon.

The video started to play, and what came into view on the screen was the tunnel that Lin Nian and Li Hueyue were facing now. Li Hueyue, who was holding the mobile phone, couldn't help but take two steps forward and stood at the shooting location of the video. , in front of the yellow warning line between the platform and the parking tunnel, where the young man named Li Qing stood dozens of minutes ago.

Someone's voice sounded in the mobile phone video, "It is now 3:40 pm, Beijing time. This is the terminal station of Line 1, Pingguoyuan Station. I am Li Qing, the advance exploration operator this time. If you successfully meet me, This video shows that now that the real time is synchronized, I have successfully boarded the subway train codenamed 'Ghost' to the Nibelungen."

The playback of the video attracted Vice Minister Liu who was not far away and was having a heated discussion with the staff surveying the remaining traces of erosion in the Nibelung area. He walked slowly and stood behind Lin Nian and Li Hueyue. He was in a position where he could just see the screen of his mobile phone. He didn't show much surprise when he saw the pictures and heard the sounds inside, he just watched quietly.

"I have already packed and put on the equipment. It may be because the food has been relatively good recently. The size prepared by Tianji Pavilion is a bit tight on the upper and lower back. Unfortunately, these equipment are all tailor-made, and it is unrealistic to change them temporarily. "The camera in the mobile phone video turned and focused on the photographer, the young man Lin Nian and Li Hueyue had met before, Li Qing.

Li Qing in the video is now fully armed, from head to toe, wearing a pure black tactical helmet with an externally rotating headphone holder, night vision goggles, battery pack, ladybug light, and goggles. The special combat uniform includes a chest harness, support back panel, radio bag, chest pack, triple chest harness, tourniquet quick puller, and medical kit. The waist also has a girdle, quick release, and multi-purpose bag. Tie knee pads, leg boards, knife bags, horizontal utility bags, etc. to the legs.

This whole set of equipment is all equipped on one person, and it doesn't look bloated. In the design of this combat uniform, the placement of each item is carefully considered to ensure that it will not interfere with tactical movements during action. The only thing The disadvantage may be the weight. It is estimated that the load of this set of tactical equipment is about 25 kilograms. This also includes the ShAK-12 hanging on his chest, the 12.7mm large-caliber rifle, and a backpack slung across his back. A red tassel gun.

"Tianji Pavilion has upgraded their equipment." Li Huanyue said, staring at the rifle with a cylindrical muzzle hanging on Li Qing's body in the video.

"A total of three special bullets are equipped. The subsonic alchemical bullet with a heavy warhead has a range of 200 meters. The target is unarmored soft enemies. The alchemical bullet with mercury element after hitting it can poison creatures with dragon blood and cause flesh ulcers. , combined with a new silencer, can be used for concealed shooting. The other two types include supersonic light warhead bullets and supersonic armor-piercing bullets. The former is used to prevent ricochet accidental damage in complex environments, and the latter is designed to break armor, and is used by ordinary armed vehicles. It can be shot through on both sides with one shot, making it perfect for dealing with scaly creatures."

Deputy Minister Liu behind the two men explained at the right time, "We have tried to reduce the weight of this set of equipment as much as possible, using a large amount of carbon fiber, and the firearms also use high-strength plastic and aluminum alloy to reduce weight, ensuring that it is in action. It won’t consume too much physical strength. Under normal circumstances, even if you are not a hybrid, well-trained special forces soldiers can control this set of equipment."

"That red tassel gun." Lin Nian said, "Could it be that the material is?"

"Yes." Vice Minister Liu said, "It's what you think of. Gold and titanium alloys, a miracle of materials science born from the joint research of the secret party and orthodoxy. Although precious, good materials must be used at the tip of the knife. In fact. The barrel of the Hongying Gun is an aerospace material with high strength, toughness and bendability, and the gun head is made of pure gold and titanium alloy, which can effectively kill the Dragon King."

"The premise is that he can hit the target," Li Huoyue said. "According to Lang Juxu's training standards, this equipment can allow him to survive in extreme environments for half a month to a month without making low-level mistakes."

"The reason why extreme environments are extreme environments is because people in that environment will be under high pressure all the time, and it is difficult not to make mistakes," Lin Nian said.

"So we can only try to provide a fault tolerance rate. This is the only thing we can do." Deputy Minister Liu said, "Look carefully, he is going to do what I asked him to do."

In the video, after Li Qing finished explaining what he had to explain, he turned the direction of the camera. As the camera shook, he bent down and picked up the flashlight on the ground, and slowly walked to the entrance of the tunnel, "Now I want to follow Deputy Liu's instructions. The minister ordered me to use this flashlight to shine at the entrance of the tunnel. Although I don’t know what the meaning of this is and what will happen in a while, I think that if I encounter misfortune, at least there will be a video to warn future generations not to imitate my stupid operation. "

"Is he going around the corner and scolding me for being stupid for giving him instructions?" Deputy Minister Liu suddenly looked confused.

"It's normal to speak rashly when you're under great pressure," Lin Nian said.

In the video, Li Qing raised the powerful flashlight that claimed to have 200,000 lumens and pressed the button. The bright light cut straight into the tunnel. Then Lin Nian and Li Hueyue heard a low sigh of surprise, " What the hell?"

There was darkness in the pitch-black tunnel. The bright light shone inside and illuminated nothing. It was as if the turbid darkness was a solid substance, just like the pitch-black wall. The light that penetrated inside could only illuminate. It's darkness, 200,000 lumens of light being rejected by this tunnel.

Li Qing turned the flashlight and shined it in the direction of the platform. The entire long corridor of the platform was illuminated extremely dazzlingly, which meant that there was nothing wrong with the flashlight itself. He shined it back into the tunnel, and it was still dark inside, and the chaotic darkness absorbed it. All light was gone, dead silence.

"Sure enough, there are enough evil things." Li Qing said softly. He turned off the flashlight, but after thinking about it, he didn't put it on the ground. Instead, he just held it and said to the phone, "If you are watching, Deputy Liu, I'm sorry, I want to take this flashlight away. If I want to go The place is also so dark, maybe it can come in handy. It’s not surprising that it doesn’t come in handy, but being prepared means being prepared.”

Vice Minister Liu didn't say anything. After watching the video, he expressed his tacit approval of Li Qing's issue with his flashlight. A complete set of individual soldier equipment worth a million dollars was given away, including a strong flashlight.

"The space has begun to experience alienation." Li Huanyue said, "Those surveillance cameras installed in the tunnel should also have malfunctioned."

"At a certain moment, the surveillance footage will fall into darkness. Even if the night mode is turned on, nothing can be captured. All the infrared wavelengths are swallowed up by this space. This kind of spatial erosion cannot be observed or stopped, just like Any 'living' person whose sight comes into contact with this area will immediately 'die'," the deputy minister said.

"The Nibelungs are a country of the dead. In the alchemy field, all substances will be 'killed' to obtain a kind of 'eternal life'. Maybe this state is the secret of its isolation from the real material world." Lin Nian said, "Space Alienation has begun, and this means..."

"The car is here." Li Huanyue said.

"The car is here." Li Huanyue said.

There was a sound of wind in the video, which was the sound of violent airflow being squeezed and crashing in the narrow passage. It was accompanied by a rumbling sound that was getting closer and closer. At the same time, a pleasant "ding" sounded in the huge Line 1 platform. With a bang, the female voice announcing the announcement began to remind: "The train bound for ████ is about to enter the station. Please stay away from the subway track. Follow the markings and line up behind the yellow line to wait for the train. Please get off the train after it stops. Come on behind."

The rumbling sound became louder and louder, gradually overshadowing the subsequent broadcast in English. At the same time, two dazzling yellow lights lit up from the dark tunnel. A straight streak of light, which was the train's two headlights, roared out of the tunnel. As the train gradually slowed down, it made a wailing scream as it rubbed against the rails.

The more the train slowed down on the platform, the clearer the scream became. It was gradually clear from the video that it was a rather dilapidated subway train. The surface was covered with rusted and corroded peeling iron, and it was white with red spots. Lines serve as frame decorations, and the windows are all covered with yellowing fuzzy traces. Inside, you can vaguely see the incomplete seats in the pitch darkness, as well as waste paper all over the floor and a dusty iron floor.

The train stopped, and the door stopped just in front of Li Qing on the platform. The door opened with a bang amid a burst of anxious ringing. There were no lights in the train, only a few old newspapers rolling on the floor. The ringing, the sound of the wind, and the train The squeaking sound of steel seemed to urge people on the platform to get on the train quickly and not wait until late.

Li Qing didn't move. The camera on his phone was steady and focused on the scene inside the train door - inside the abandoned train, there was a body lying on the rusty and dusty floor.

"Damn it." Vice Minister Liu said.

"." Li Hueyue was silent.

"Tsk." Lin Young clicked his tongue, expressionless.

The corpse was fully armed, and the equipment from head to toe was exactly the same as the one seen on Li Qing in the previous video, except that the helmet was missing, revealing a withered head. The skin had lost moisture and shrunk completely and clung to the skull. Only the hair was still there. With her long black hair intact, her dry eyes half-covered by a strand of hair were staring at Li Qing who was standing outside the car door, as well as at the person in front of the phone screen.

Li Qing stood there and stared at his "senior" for about ten seconds. After obviously taking a few deep breaths, he moved away from the camera.

"What a hell." In the video, Li Huoyue and Lin Nian heard Li Qing mutter in the video, and the camera of their mobile phone was focused on a red painted number on the open door: Train No. 000000.

The oldest existing subway train in China should be train 01001 of Line 1 in Beigen. There has never been a train numbered 000000. This train is really the legendary "ghost train".

After a long silence, Li Qing suddenly talked about an unrelated topic, "My sister especially likes to listen to ghost stories. Every time she pesters me to tell ghost stories, I have to rack my brains to think of something I can't tell at night. Other friends here told me about their mission experiences, but my sister’s courage seems to have been raised by me since she was a child. Those stories about fighting with Deadpool didn’t scare her, and she kept asking me to tell more exciting ones. .”

"Until one time, I really didn't have any ghost stories to tell him, so I simply told him about my own mission in the field to capture a dangerous hybrid fugitive who escaped from the Chernobyl prison. I originally I thought she would find it boring, but halfway through the story I found that she was frightened to tears. It took me one night and the next day to take her to an amusement park and various unequal treaties to get her to sleep peacefully. "

Li Qing, who stood motionless at the door of the car, paused and whispered, "From that moment on, I understood that the reason my sister is not afraid of those real and scary ghost stories is because the stories are just stories, both for her and me. It won't cause any harm. But if I were the protagonist in the story, even if she wasn't facing a ghost, but just a thug with a knife, she would be so scared that she couldn't sleep at night and would knock on my door and ask me if I would do the next mission. Still so dangerous.”

"If I can go back after this mission is over, I'm afraid I can have an experience that will scare my sister and never dare to listen to ghost stories again, right?" The position of the mobile phone camera began to move downwards, and the final angle was that of being Place it where Lin Nian and Li Huanyue first discovered the phone. In the camera, Li Qing walked into the train without looking back, carrying the bright flashlight. The red tasseled gun carried on his back was fluttering gently in the wind brought by the subway as it entered the station.

After Li Qing entered the train, the restless ringing stopped instantly, and the door began to close. Through the door window glass, you could see clearly that Li Qing in the car was squatting down to check the cause of death of the body. At the same time, the train also started to ring again. It started running, gradually accelerated, and heard the harsh friction sound of the rails. Finally, it entered the dark tunnel and completely disappeared on the platform.

Nothing appeared behind the video until the sound of footsteps was heard at the end of the progress bar. Then the phone was picked up and the video was paused and ended.

Lin Nian looked away from the phone, turned to the silent Vice Minister Liu behind him and said, "It seems that we now know what happened to the people who were sent into the Nibelungen."

Vice Minister Liu motioned to Li Hueyue to give him the phone, and Li Hueyue did so. The video was replayed, and the progress bar was dragged to where the camera focused on the body on the ground inside the train door and then paused.

Deputy Minister Liu put his finger on the slightly blurred number on the armband of the corpse's tactical equipment and said, "This is the last person we sent out. His name is Liu Qingyan, female, 23 years old, 'Kun' mixed race, wolf dweller Xu Wuzi-level operator has 3 years of mission experience after officially joining Langju Xu. She is characterized by clarity and intelligence. She can always find a way to complete missions in a comprehensive and minimized loss. Looks like I have to prepare her obituary. .”

"She was not the first person to die, nor was she the last." Li Huanyue said lightly, "Maybe the deputy minister has to prepare more than one obituary."

"She can be the last one." Lin Nian said. He picked up the white subway card with his fingers and turned to look at Deputy Minister Liu. "I want to know how I can get this card in the fastest time." The card turns golden.”
