Chapter 61 The Weasel Queen
What's going on?!
Old Tang's hand, which was holding up a powerful flashlight, froze in mid-air.
The strange actions of the Kamaitachi Queen left him somewhat bewildered.
But he had no time to think, because the sound of the train crashing on the tracks behind him was getting closer and closer.
Seeing the weasels that had been surrounding him suddenly disperse, Old Tang pounced on the roadside shoulders on both sides of the track in an extremely inelegant, dog-like manner.
However, the expected strong winds from the train speeding into the tunnel did not materialize.
Instead, the sound of the train hitting the tracks grew fainter and fainter until it disappeared completely behind him.
Old Tang got up from the ground, puzzled.
He turned around and looked back, only to see the subway train perfectly still parked on the tracks.
The car doors were wide open, seemingly welcoming him, a guest from afar.
To go... or not to go?
Old Tang hesitated.
Just then, the Weasel Queen, who had bowed her head in submission, suddenly raised her nine heads.
The blinding golden eyes startled Old Tang instantly.
Seeing that the train in front of him seemed to be slowly starting to move, he didn't think twice and rushed into the carriage.
The glow of the fluorescent lights inside the carriage gave him a sense of security.
Old Tang slumped into the seat in the carriage, only then realizing that he had unknowingly become completely exhausted.
Just after he boarded the train, the subway doors slammed shut, then the train sped off at full speed, smashing through the herd of weasels blocking its path, and roared into the depths of the tunnel.
After regaining some of his strength, Lao Tang also began his exploration, groping his way to the driver's cab of the subway.
He kicked the carriage door open effortlessly.
However, after seeing the situation inside the driver's cab, he stood there dumbfounded.
Because there was no one in the driver's cab, not even a ghost.
The various buttons and levers seemed to be controlled by an invisible hand, operating automatically.
Fake!
Old Tang cursed out loud.
Meanwhile, inside the subway tunnel.
The Kamaitachi Queen watched as the subway train's taillights disappeared into the distance. Its nine heads huddled together, each showing a puzzled expression.
It would never mistake that aura from just now.
This being is absolutely not to be trifled with. Judging from its long history, there are only two beings in the Nibelungen region with such an aura.
Neither of these two individuals, taken individually, can compare to the one mentioned earlier.
But... this person's actions and reactions are really strange.
The Siamese Queen's nine heads held nine different opinions; they opened their mouths and chattered incessantly, their voices quite unpleasant.
However, in the next instant, they all stopped at the same time.
All nine heads were looking in the same direction—the direction of the platform.
The train carried Lao Tang away, and the place should have been deserted. However, footsteps approached from the darkness at the end of the tunnel.
Someone is trekking through the darkness, step by step, getting closer and closer.
The weasel, which had been hanging upside down from the tunnel ceiling, flew down again.
At the Queen's signal, they flapped their wings and flew swiftly in the direction of the sound.
But the flapping of wings that had been making a lot of noise stopped abruptly when it heard the footsteps.
More and more Kamaitachi flew away, but like moths to a flame, they disappeared silently.
This thoroughly enraged the Kamaitachi Queen.
It couldn't afford to mess with that one; after all, there are only a handful of beings like that in the world.
But apart from them, it fears no one.
What's more, all those who died were its children.
Almost as tall as two people, the membrane wings unfolded in mid-air, and the nine mouths of the Kamaitachi Queen, wearing a silver mask, opened simultaneously, revealing sharp teeth, and roars echoed in the tunnel.
It flapped its wings, and the resulting gale blew up the gravel on the tunnel floor.
Whoever it is, since it has harmed its offspring and descendants, it will inevitably have to pay the price.
The Kamaitachi Queen assumed her stance and charged forward, but what greeted her was an incomparably dazzling flash of light.
"Where did these bedbugs come from?" a somewhat surprised voice asked.
······
"You mean Lu Mingfei single-handedly disrupted the local antique market?"
Inside the apartment, Mai Shude, who had been lounging on the sofa like a lady, suddenly jumped up and sat upright.
She looked at Ling in surprise, not expecting that the other party had only been with Lu Mingfei for a few days and had already figured out every detail of Lu Mingfei's life.
Then she recalled the awkward scene from the day she first met Lu Mingfei.
Mai looked at Zero with a hint of envy in her eyes.
"As expected of the boss's little darling, she won over the little white rabbit so quickly!" Su Enxi arrived late, carrying a bag of potato chips.
Unlike the elegant lady dressed in a burgundy silk nightgown, Jiude Ma Yi was different.
She was wearing a slightly unfashionable short-sleeved shirt and shorts, and also had a pair of black-rimmed glasses. At first glance, she looked like a female college intern from somewhere.
"Oh my, our head housekeeper and maid finally have time to come and see us servants who work day and night like this," said Shude Mai teasingly.
"Hmph, I can't be bothered with you." Su Enxi raised her chin arrogantly at Jiu De Mai before walking up to Zero and handing her the freshly opened bag of potato chips.
"Want some?"
Zero glanced at the potato chips in silence and shook his head.
Su Enxi seemed to be used to her reaction, so she didn't care and started eating from the bag.
"Could you eat fewer snacks?" Mai Shude's gaze shifted away from Su Enxi's slightly bulging belly.
"None of your business," Su Enxi said in a muffled voice. "By the way, where is our little white rabbit—no, where is the sect leader now?"
Upon hearing this, Mai Shude glanced at the laptop on the coffee table. In order to better monitor Lu Mingfei, she had Zero place many miniature cameras in the hotel room. They were all top-of-the-line products, designed for special agents. They were not only expensive but also extremely well-concealed.
It can be said to be without any blind spots or flaws.
However, upon seeing the surveillance footage displayed on the screen, Mai Shutoku suddenly frowned slightly.
Under Su Enxi's somewhat surprised gaze, she grasped the mouse, quickly dragged and clicked.
The apartment suddenly became eerily quiet. Su Enxi unconsciously stopped chewing, afraid of disturbing Jiu De Mai's actions.
a long time.
After confirming again, Mai Shude finally moved her hand away from the mouse.
"What's wrong! Long legs?" Su Enxi asked, chewing on her potato chips as she saw her stop.
"It's nothing serious." Mai Shude stood up and then took off her pajamas.
"Wait! Are you an exhibitionist?!" Su Enxi exclaimed, swallowing the potato chip she had finally managed to chew.
But Mai Shude had already taken off her pajamas and turned around, leaving the two of them with only her flawless white back, as white as mutton fat jade.
After a while.
She came out wearing a black, tight-fitting combat suit.
"Lu Mingfei has disappeared," she said with a serious expression.
