"Fatty, it's Fatty's voice!"

Gu Ming and the others had already arrived at the second half of the stairs. When they heard this voice, the bespectacled man called out in surprise.

Everyone immediately turned around to look. They originally thought that Fatty was following behind, but there was no one behind them. Fatty was left behind!

"No, we can't leave him behind."

The blonde woman turned around and wanted to run back, but she was stopped by the fashionable woman.

"Fool, do you want to die?"

"But…"

"He can't be saved…" Gu Ming gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice.

"That ghost could catch up at any time. Don't stop and keep running!"

Everyone knew what he said made sense, so they continued to run up the stairs.

Dong dong dong!

Accompanied by the mysterious drumming in the station, Gu Ming and the others ran to the end of the stairs and came to the platform.

They ran for a few more meters. At this time, Gu Ming looked back. The one-legged old man did not catch up with them. They seemed to be safe for the time being.

"Huff huff…"

The few of them could finally stop and breathe a sigh of relief. It was too dangerous just now.

They were almost caught by the one-legged old man and escaped the disaster. However, Fatty was not so lucky.

"Is he…already dead?" The blonde woman looked at the stairs and said with a trembling voice. It was silent there, and the screams from before had long disappeared.

No one spoke. Everyone was silent.

Yes, Fatty was dead.

Gu Ming never expected that someone would die so quickly.

His hands could not stop trembling. It was impossible not to be afraid. He was just an ordinary person. He did not dare to imagine what would happen to Fatty if he was caught by a ghost.

Gu Ming and he had just met, so they were not friends at all. However, a person died just like that. He felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.

"Haha, it's funny."

The fashionable woman leaned against the wall and laughed at herself." In the end, we didn't even know his name."

"Let's get to know each other." " I'm Luo Yu," the bespectacled man sighed." I'm a programmer."

Lin Weiwei, you can call me Weiwei." The blonde wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes." A university student from a foreign language school."

" Angie, a waitress at the bar." the fashionable woman replied.

"Gu Ming, an office worker." Gu Ming said concisely.

"Alright, we can be considered to have gotten to know each other."

" I don't want to admit it," said the man with glasses." But it seems like we're really involved in an unknown game. The consequence of failing this game is death!"

At this point, everyone was stunned.

Anything could happen in this haunted Kisaragi Station.

No one knew if the next person to die would be them!

"In that case, let's finish this game."

Gu Ming looked at everyone with a solemn expression.

"The mission requires us to escape Kisaragi Station…I think the real exit is on this floor. Everyone, work hard together and we will definitely find it!"

Hearing Gu Ming's words, everyone couldn't help but look at each other. Yes, if they found the right exit, they could leave this damn place!

Although the fear and sadness of his companion's death still lingered in his heart, it was more important to survive now!

So everyone continued to walk forward. They were in the lobby of the subway station, and the bright lights illuminated everything in front of them.

The entire subway station was bigger than they had expected. They couldn't see the exit at first glance.

The security equipment was covered in dust, cobwebs hung in the corners, the walls on both sides were yellow and peeling, and the passages were blocked by rusty iron fences.

The entire station seemed to have been abandoned. Just like the platform downstairs, there was no one here!

"Look!"

At this moment, Luo Yu seemed to have discovered something. He pointed at a wall not far away in surprise.

"There…seems to be a map here!"

Hearing Luo Yu's words, Gu Ming and the others immediately looked at the map on the wall.

A map of the subway station greeted his eyes. The map showed that there were a total of four exits, A, B, C, and D. They were arranged from left to right and from top to bottom, respectively located on the four sides of the station.

What was even more surprising was that there was only information about the subway station on the map. The streets, buildings, and routes outside the subway station were blank!

" That's weird. Why is there nothing outside the station on this map…" Lin Weiwei said in confusion.

" Didn't you say that Kisaragi Station is an independent space from the normal world?"

Luo Yu adjusted his glasses and said," In other words, this is a world that exists alone. It has no connection with the outside world. That's why it's blank."

In addition, there was a very small Japanese word in the lower right corner of the map. If you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't be able to find it--

"What is the meaning of this?" Luo Yu asked curiously.

Lin Weiwei looked at it seriously and whispered,"The end is also the beginning…" 

"End? Start?"

Gu Ming muttered. He felt that this map was a little strange, so he took out his phone and took a picture of the map in front of him.

Kacha!

Beside the map was a billboard.

There was a smiling woman in white on the billboard. She had long black hair and seemed to be a popular female celebrity.

However, Gu Ming and the others were all focused on the map and did not notice that the billboard was quietly changing.

The flat surface of the billboard slowly bulged, as if something was about to come out of it.

Gradually, a crack appeared on the surface of the billboard. A pale and bloodless hand stretched out from it and slowly attacked them...

"Have you guys seen enough?" Angie said impatiently.

She looked at the cigarette box in her hand. There was only one cigarette left in it, and she could not help but feel frustrated.

She had already had enough. She had only taken a strange subway and was dragged into this terrifying journey.

At first, she thought that it was just a prank, but when she saw the one-legged old man, she could not help but start to doubt it.

It was only when she heard Fatty's tragic cry before he died that she understood that everything in front of her was true. She could also die in this place!

Angie held the cigarette in her mouth. The more she thought about it, the more afraid she became. In order to calm herself down, she wanted to light the last cigarette, but her hands were trembling because of nervousness. She could not light it.

Pa da.

Pa da.

She tried again and finally succeeded in lighting the cigarette.

Her lighter was a classic silver model from Zippo. It was a gift she had bought for herself when she first got paid.

The metal casing of the lighter was very smooth, like a mirror that could reflect the surroundings.

Just as Angie was about to put the lighter away, she seemed to see something on the lighter's outer shell.

She looked at it and her expression changed.

Because she saw…

A pale and bloodless hand had already arrived behind her!
