Chapter 127: Back To Office Workers
In the carriage, a few people looked at each other and began to walk toward the exit at the end of the carriage.
"Oh, honey, I’m waiting for you to come back. Next time, it must be even more exciting."
Smack.
Shen Yu felt a strong kiss land on his cheek. Then Sandy pulled him toward the front door of the carriage.
He didn’t get off immediately. Instead, he reached out and pinched Sandy’s devilish waist.
"So, sweetheart, don’t you have any hints?"
"Hehe. I don’t need a useless man."
Sandy gave Shen Yu a disdainful look. This time, she offered him no hints and walked straight into the next carriage.
Shen Yu was speechless.
In the end, he still got off the train.
Shizai Station.
Unlike Wangi Station, this station not only had a waiting hall but also an exit elevator directly in front of the platform.
Taking the elevator down to the underground level would allow passengers to leave the station.
Whooosh...
For some unknown reason, despite the sunny weather, a milky-white fog began to spread across the platform.
Shen Yu had gotten off the train a little late.
But by the time he stepped onto the platform, he could no longer see the teammates who had gotten off ahead of him.
"Hey, where is everyone?"
He instinctively walked toward the waiting hall.
But within the thick fog, he inexplicably found himself standing in front of the elevator entrance.
Buzz.
Suddenly, a loud ringing filled his ears, like a swarm of cicadas buzzing directly inside his skull.
Shen Yu felt dizzy.
A sharp pain stabbed through his temple as if a steel needle had been driven into his head.
"Ugh!"
"Ugh!"
He covered his head and swayed unsteadily.
As the pain gradually subsided, his gaze became strangely muddled.
He looked at the elevator entrance.
Then he pressed the button to go down.
"Ding!"
The elevator doors opened.
Shen Yu stepped inside and pressed the button for the lowest floor.
The elevator began descending.
Inside the cramped elevator, Shen Yu rubbed his head and muttered to himself.
"Hey, wasn’t I at home playing games?"
"How did I end up here?"
"Did I bring a client here last night?"
"Did I drink too much and fall asleep?"
He shook his head.
"Spit, spit, spit."
"Forget it. Quickly go home, play games, and activate..."
Standing inside the elevator, Shen Yu seemed to return to the state of an ordinary office worker.
His face was filled with longing for his vacation.
"Ding!"
The elevator doors opened again.
The underground exit was brightly lit.
But it was completely empty.
The silence was eerie.
"Hey, what’s going on at the station today?"
Shen Yu couldn’t figure out the situation.
He quickly walked toward the passage leading outside.
But the moment he stepped out—
A thick layer of white mist immediately swallowed his vision.
"Hey, driver!"
"Is there a driver?"
"I’ll pay fifty!"
"Take me directly to my community."
"Is there anyone?"
His voice echoed through the fog.
According to Shen Yu’s memories, the station exit should have been filled with taxis waiting for passengers.
But after leaving the station, there was nothing.
Only endless white mist.
"I’ll give fifty."
"Fifty."
His own voice echoed repeatedly, bouncing back through the fog.
With no other choice, Shen Yu quickened his pace and continued into the mist.
"Tsk."
"So annoying."
"How can there be no cars?"
He had barely finished speaking when—
A terrifying shriek suddenly erupted from within the oppressive fog.
"Ah!"
Shen Yu immediately became vigilant.
He looked around.
"Who?"
"Damn it."
"Are you playing games with me?"
"I’ll record a video right now and upload it to DY!"
"Come out!"
"You dare mess with me?"
"You’re definitely not on Shenyang Street."
"Where are you?"
He shouted for a while.
The strange shriek disappeared.
Shen Yu frowned.
Then he once again began running wildly into the mist.
Tap.
Tap.
Tap.
But the farther he ran, the colder he felt behind him.
Suddenly—
A shadow resembling a balloon appeared above him.
Shen Yu looked up.
His entire body froze.
Within the white fog, a round shadow was faintly visible.
At first, it looked like an ordinary balloon.
But upon closer inspection—
It was a human head.
The dark-skinned face had white eyes that stared fixedly at him as it floated through the air.
"What the hell?"
"What the hell?"
"Damn it!"
"Head balloon!"
Shen Yu was so frightened that he fell to the ground.
Yet even then, he didn’t forget to pull out his phone and take pictures.
"What the hell?"
"If this gets out, I’ll go viral!"
Excited, he opened DY.
But the next moment—
Shen Yu was dumbfounded.
No signal.
The screen displayed:
No Service.
At the same time, his neck suddenly began to itch.
Then it throbbed.
Shen Yu scratched it.
His fingers touched a huge lump.
"What?"
The lump began to grow.
Larger.
And larger.
Soon, the outline of a human face emerged from his neck.
"Hehehe..."
"I want you to come down and keep me company."
"I want you to come down and be with me."
Suddenly—
The lump on Shen Yu’s neck transformed into a head resembling the dark-skinned face floating above him.
It grinned at him.
"What the hell?"
"What the hell?"
"Help!"
Shen Yu frantically slapped at the human head growing from his neck and ran deeper into the mist.
"Hahaha!"
"Hahaha!"
But he didn’t notice that the floating head balloon was slowly following him.
Then—
Puff.
Puff.
Puff.
The lump on his neck began expanding again.
A second head slowly squeezed out.
This time, it was unmistakably a woman’s face, blooming like cherry blossoms.
"Hehehe..."
"Shen Yu..."
"Come down and keep me company."
"Come down and be with me."
The barrage exploded.
"Encountering a syphilis woman on a blind date and asking for 380,000 as a betrothal gift. What the hell?"
"What’s going on?"
"Why does it feel like Shen Yu suddenly became so dramatic?"
"Isn’t it just strange?"
"Is he really that scared?"
"Top Pilot Snake: It’s not just Shen Yu. The other national competitors seem to change once they get off the train, becoming submissive."
"Let me take a look."
"Is the station starting to devour memories again?"
"I feel like they’ve never seen anything strange before."
"Shen Yu’s performance now is like an office worker seeing something bizarre for the first time."
"Wait."
"The last station swallowed their past memories."
"So this station—the present station—won’t swallow their current memories, right?"
"If that’s the case, don’t the competitors think they’re just normal office workers?"
"What the hell?"
"If that’s the case, that’s too terrifying."
At the same time, the live broadcast room’s bullet comments had completely gone crazy.
The saying was true.
The so-called onlooker was clear while the person involved was confused.
Viewing the instance from a god’s perspective, the audience suddenly understood what was happening.
But at the same time, they were even more shocked by the difficulty of this instance.
If no one intervened—
Could the instance participants even know who they were?
Would they know what they were doing?
At the same time—
Joi City Defense Department.
A crowd surrounded the live broadcast screen.
Their faces were tense.
"What should we do?"
"Should we use the Evil Call now to tell Shen Yu what’s happening?"
"Among the remaining countries, we’re the only ones who haven’t used off-field assistance."
"If we use it now, I think this is the best opportunity."
"What do you all think?"
Yening stared at Shen Yu on the live broadcast.
He was running through the fog in a state of complete panic.
There was a genuine fear that he might collapse at any moment.
Having lost both his past and present memories, Shen Yu no longer possessed his usual calm demeanor or sharp mind.
At a glance—
He looked like an ordinary passerby who had accidentally wandered into a nightmare.
Yening was frightened.
Truly frightened that this guy might simply die.
"Yes."
"I think so too."
"Use a hint."
"We can’t let Shen Yu keep running around like this."
Ho Yong could no longer hold back.
He had already begun dialing the Evil Call.
"But wait."
Lucian stopped everyone.
"Wait a little longer."
"What?"
"Wait longer?"
Yening couldn’t understand.
"This time Shen Yu doesn’t have the hints from Sandy."
"He also has no talent that guarantees his survival."
"How can he wait?"
Lucian shook her head.
"We only have one chance for off-field assistance."
"We must analyze the situation clearly and figure out how to save Shen Yu completely."
"If it’s just a simple phone reminder, it won’t mean much."
"Besides..."
"Shen Yu is still Shen Yu."
"No matter what state he has fallen into, I believe that with his nature, he can still find a way to survive."
"Just wait."
"Be patient."
"Find a way for him to survive before dialing the phone."
Everyone fell silent.
With Lucian’s decision, the entire Defense Department stared intently at the live broadcast screen.
"Ah!"
"Damn it!"
"Damn it!"
"Why do other people encounter sweet and lovely girls when they’re playing?"
"Why did I run into a head balloon?"
"Damn it!"
Within the mist, Shen Yu screamed as he ran.
He repeatedly looked back into the fog.
Then he pulled out his phone and dialed 110.
Beep.
Beep.
Beep.
Beep.
Beep.
There was only a busy tone on the phone.
