Chapter 1086: Platform

Chapter 1085: Platform

Cheng Sihan was silent for an exceptionally long time this time. Her body was shaking slightly along with the subway car. The billboard outside the wall flashed brightly as if playing a silent film.

“If I give up the idea of saving my foster father, will I be able to see Loki and regain my ability?”

“Of course,” Beta nodded. “Although the game organizing committee stipulates that the gods can only choose one agent. You know teacher. He has never taken those rules seriously.”

“Okay, then I’ll give up on saving my foster father,” Cheng Sihan said calmly.

“I knew you would say that,” Beta said with a smile. “Come with me.”

Beta stood up, and the subway train arrived at the station again, and the doors opened.

She got off the train, but she did not take Cheng Sihan to the exit, nor did she take the elevator to the train change platform. Instead, she walked to the end of the platform and waited for the train to leave before she jumped off the platform. When the staff was not paying attention, he flashed into the tunnel at the side.

Cheng Sihan hesitated for a moment before she jumped down with him.

Then, Beta hopped forward. At the same time, she did not forget to remind Cheng Sihan, who was behind him, “Be careful of your feet.”

Cheng Sihan snorted and quickly followed. The two of them did not walk far before they heard the vibration of the tracks, which was getting louder and louder.

Cheng Sihan’s heart tightened. “The train is here,” she reminded.

“I know.” Beta smiled, but she did not have any intention of dodging. Instead, she stood in the middle of the tracks with one foot and closed her eyes. After about ten seconds, a speeding train emerged from the dark and brushed past her body, flinging her hair a little.

The whole scene was thrilling but not dangerous.

Beta opened her eyes and blinked. “Look, it’s the car from next door.”

“You can’t be so lucky every time,” Cheng Sihan said coldly.

“It’s not luck. Our car just passed, so I know it’s definitely the train from next door,” Beta said. She then grinned and added, “But this time, it’s our train.”

Then, she jumped off the track and leaned against the wall behind her. Cheng Sihan followed her example and leaned against the wall of the tunnel. The next moment, the train shook violently again.

Another train drove out of the darkness. Beta was right. This time, the train was from their side. The high-speed train whizzed past Cheng Sihan’s ears, and the airflow in the middle made her face hurt slightly.

When the subway drove past, Cheng Sihan spoke again, her tone cold. “I asked you to take me to see Loki, not to play some train guessing game here.”

“Don’t worry,” Beta said. “We’ll reach our destination soon.”

After walking for about two minutes, Beta finally stopped and pointed at an iron door on the wall in front of them. “That’s it.”

As she spoke, she walked to the iron door and took out an iron key from her pocket to open the lock on it. Then, she took the lead and climbed down the ladder.

Although the iron door that suddenly appeared in the tunnel looked suspicious, Cheng Sihan had no other choice since the next train was about to arrive would arrive. So she could only grit her teeth and climb down the rusty iron ladder.

Cheng Sihan was a little surprised by the scene that greeted her below.

No one had expected that there would be a platform under the subway tunnel. However, it seemed to have been abandoned for a long time or, more precisely, had never been put into use. There was a lot of construction waste inside. The dust under their feet had accumulated to an unknown depth.

Beta switched his phone to flashlight mode and looked around. “There was originally a subway line in the original plans, but that changed halfway through construction, and this line was abandoned.”

“I think I’ve heard similar stories. I thought it was just an urban legend, but it turned out to be true.” Cheng Sihan frowned.

“Well, many rumors have a source,” Beta said. “But not many can find it.”

“Has Loki been hiding here recently?”

“No, no, no. Teacher doesn’t like this kind of dark and abandoned place. He’s just here to visit a friend. I told you that he didn’t see you tonight because he had other things to do. In fact, if you hadn’t insisted, I wouldn’t have brought you here.”

“Who did he come all the way here to visit? Who would live in such a place?” Cheng Sihan asked in bewilderment.

“To be honest, I don’t know and don’t care,” Beta shrugged. “You asked me to bring you to him, so I brought you here. I have already fulfilled our agreement, so you have to walk the rest of the way on your own.”

However, Cheng Sihan didn’t seem to want to let her go at all. Instead, she took out a small knife from her body and held it in her hand.

Beta was a little surprised because she didn’t find the knife when she searched Cheng Sihan’s body.

Cheng Sihan said calmly, “I thought about what you said on the subway and found that what you said made sense. I do like someone to talk with me to relieve my boredom, and you like to talk so much. It’s perfect.”

“But I’ve already said what I should have said tonight, and I’m a little thirsty now, so I’m in a hurry to buy some water.” Beta spread her hands.

“It’s okay. You won’t die even if you drink a little less water,” Cheng Sihan said as she moved toward Beta. However, in the next moment, Beta turned off the flashlight function of his phone, and the entire platform fell into darkness again. Only a tiny bit of light from the billboard above the iron gate was visible.

Cheng Sihan used this bit of light to see Beta jump off the platform and run toward the tunnel ahead. Without hesitation, she chased after her. However, after about 20 meters, it became darker and darker, and she could barely see the road in front of her.

Cheng Sihan didn’t want to go deeper into the darkness because she instinctively felt a sense of danger. However, she might lose Beta if she stopped. She knew Zhang Heng’s plan very well. If she couldn’t find Loki, his agent Beta would be the best bargaining chip to lure Loki out.

Therefore, Cheng Sihan only hesitated for a moment before continuing her chase. At this time, she couldn’t see anything, and she was stumbling. Fortunately, Beta’s situation wasn’t optimistic either, so neither of them could increase their speed. Thus, they chased each other in the darkness and were thrown about 200 meters away. Cheng Sihan was about to catch up with Beta in front, but the next moment, the sound of Beta’s footsteps suddenly disappeared.
