    After Luo resolved the accidental harassment, Xiao Lan retracted her attention and pushed open the door of the control room in front of her.

    When the flashlight shone into the room, Xiao Lan almost thought that she was facing nothingness.

    The entire control room was pitch black from the ceiling to the walls, and there was almost nothing that could reflect light. He reached out and touched the wall beside the door, and found black and gray in his hand.

    "This black ash is..." Xiao Lan twitched his fingertips. This familiar touch was the kind of black ash that he found on the train timetable with the bulletin board behind the poster before.

    "I've seen it before, not only the posters and timetables, but also the same black and gray on the cleaning clothes." Luo confirmed his guess.

    Xiao Lan scanned the surroundings with her flashlight, and the entire control room was actually covered with such black and gray.

    It was as if it had been burned by a fire.

    At this time, Xiao Lan remembered a newspaper clipping he had seen on the train before - "There was an explosion accident on a subway platform in this city. Three explosions occurred in a row within 15 minutes, and the accident also caused a fire."

    Maybe that's what happened after the fire caused by the accident?

    He had wondered if all the news on the platform and on both sides of the train was fake news. In fact, there was no accident at all, it was just that they were spreading suspicion. As a result, the control room is now hidden and full of burning traces.

    Does this mean that what the newspaper clipping on the subway says is true?

    Xiao Lan walked towards the room. The floor of the control room was also covered with a thick layer of ashes. There was also a lot of carbonized or melted residue mixed with it. The indoor air that had been closed for too long was very foul, and there was a little bit of ash in it. Years of burnt smell.

    Luo fixed the door behind him. On the one hand, it was to allow the air to circulate and to avoid injury to his human master, who was still vulnerable even though he was able to carry the tripod. On the other hand, it was to prevent the sudden crisis of closing the door.

    Not far away, Xiao Lan found a row of computer-like wreckage. Although it had been smoked to a pitch black, it was not burnt too cleanly, and it still retained a little of its original appearance.

    Under the light of the flashlight, he found that the monitors of these computers are very thin, at least LCD, and the computers of the 1990s are still the thick and bulky CRT monitors of the past.

    Xiao Lan looked at the monitors: "These are obviously not from the 1990s."

    There were even some blackened squares on the ground, which were suspected to be smartphones.

    "Sir, there's something here." On the other side, Lilo also found something covered in black and gray from the debris in the corner.

    After wiping for a while, Luo handed the thing to Xiao Lan.

    They found that it was a souvenir of the opening ceremony of the station. Although it was burned and melted away part of it, the writing on it was still there. The date showed that the station was opened to traffic in the 1990s, but this souvenir was also made recently.

    Xiao Lan frowned: "The previous clues clearly showed that the train accident was in the 1990s, but we found a very recent magazine on the train, and this seemingly old station also hides the current things. ."

    Luo: "Maybe, this station just looks old. It's not actually in the 1990s, but at the time of the bombing."

    That's why they can see the automatic card-swiping turnstile, because it's a current station at all!

    Why does this station keep pretending to be in the 1990s? There are also various clues that have been revealed to confuse players.

    Thinking of the newspaper about the train accident, and the station broadcast telling them not to get on the train, and the ghosts that appeared all reminding them that the train was dangerous and could not go.

    Could it be that... the ghosts on the station have maintained their appearance in the 1990s, in order to make the newspapers of train accidents more credible, so that players believe that the train is the more dangerous party.

    There was an accident on the train, but not at the time when they were there. The ghosts are actually killed by the explosion at the station. The ghosts on the platform have been trying to keep the player at the station for some reason.

    In fact, the train accident is a long time ago, and the platform explosion is the real background of the game.

    The platform where the explosion occurred is the real danger!

    The black and gray they could always see in the details before was actually a reminder of this.

    The two looked at each other and figured it out at the same time.

    Xiao Lan said softly, "The real way to clear customs is to choose the side of the train."

    Perhaps the truth is that some of the ghosts after the explosion wanted to leave the station, but some were unable to leave, and even blocked the train and the space so that they could not leave the space. At the same time, the ghosts at the station also created the illusion of the 1990s to mislead players, so that players do not choose the train side.

    "But that's not right... We got on the train from the very beginning, but we couldn't leave this cycle." Xiao Lan fell into thought, "After we got the ticket, we still couldn't leave. There must be something missing."

    Xiao Lan took the black and white ticket that Luo handed over and weighed it in his hand.

    The white ticket was found on the platform, and all the platform NPCs they saw held this, but there was no guarantee that they were all white tickets.

    The white ticket is also the same color as the exit gate of the platform, which should correspond to the exit.

    The black ticket was found on the train. The black color reminded Xiao Lan of the man in black who only had a relationship with one side. Thinking about the clothes he was wearing, he looked like a uniform, and his strength that made people feel dangerous, the man on the train must be a man quite important location.

    The black ticket is also the same color as his, corresponding to getting on the bus.

    Xiao Lan thought of the task he received—[Gone Missing]. Since it is a key task, perhaps the final doubt can only be answered by it.

    Now their goal is to find the brooch the quest says, and then a black ticket.

    Xiao Lan raised her head from her thoughts and just met Luo's eyes.

    When he was thinking before, Luo kept quiet and looked around without interrupting his thoughts. Seeing Xiao Lan regained his senses, Luo Cai stretched out his hand and pointed to another corner of the room: "There are many corpses piled up there, among them are our acquaintances."

    acquaintance? Xiao Lan stepped forward with some doubts.

    When he got closer, he realized that there were quite a lot of corpses piled up here.

    Some had been burnt to black, and some seemed to have been choked to death by smoke. The bodies were still intact. They should not have died in the same place, but were transported here after death. These corpses are stacked on top of each other, and the picture makes one's scalp tingle.

    Looking down Luo's fingertips, he saw a corpse.

    He was indeed an acquaintance. He was wearing a cleaning uniform. The body was still intact, but two fingers were missing. Except that the cleaning uniform was the current style, it was exactly the same as the one they saw at the door of the toilet before.

    Seeing the corpse, Xiao Lan was even more certain. These people died in the platform explosion accident. All their clothes were in the current style, and the style of the 1990s was just a disguise.

    Oh, a bunch of movie stars.

    There was a small closed door behind the corpses. Because of the fact that these guys like to hide key clues, Xiao Lan always felt that there must be something hidden behind that door.

    However, it would be disgusting to pass through the crevices of the corpses here.

    The two struggled to find a place to stay, and finally reached the front of the closed door. The door lock was blocked by something unknown, and even the iron wire could not get in.

    Xiao Lan put away the wire: "It seems that there is no way to pick the lock."

    Luo Zheng was about to ask him if he needed help, when Xiao Lan reached out and grabbed the doorknob.

    Then he simply and neatly removed the entire door lock. After the crisp sound, the hard handle was picked up by one of his hands like a poor little chicken, and was thrown to the side.

    Luo: "..."

    Well, sometimes Mr. really makes him feel that his existence is redundant. It seems that his biggest function is to chat with him?

    Luo suddenly felt that he was about to lose his job.

    Behind the door is a small office, which is still darkened by smoke, and it is impossible to see what it was originally used for.

    There was only one corpse in the entire office, with its back to the door, lying on the ground. The clothes she was wearing looked familiar, it was the woman in the picture in the wallet earlier.

    Xiao Lan walked to her front and found that this was a very beautiful woman with delicate facial features and smooth hair. Her death was not tragic, but she looked very peaceful. The room that was burnt to black was out of place.

    The brooch seen in the photo is sitting quietly on her chest.

    Xiao Lan squatted down cautiously and tried to reach out to her chest. At the same time, she was also careful to guard against possible changes in the corpse. After all, it was not only the corpses that appeared to be dead in the world that were dangerous.

    Unexpectedly, the process of removing the brooch was unexpectedly smooth.

    When Xiao Lan completely removed the brooch, a new system prompt appeared:

    【Have obtained a brooch (1/1)】

    [After obtaining the brooch, return it to the marshals (unfinished)]

    "Marshal? Could it be the man in black?" Xiao Lan thought of him first, "He and this woman were supposed to be lovers, and then died in a platform explosion together, but I don't know why they One was in the car and one was hidden in the control room on the platform."

    At the same time, Xiao Lan was also a little puzzled: "Looking at the texture of the wallet and the appearance of the brooch, this man in black has a rich family, and his original occupation should not be a police officer."

    Luo: "Coming to the world may give him a new identity. The identity of ghosts in the game is not static."

    The powerful marshal has to issue a task for the player to find the lover's brooch, which shows the fact that he can't leave the train at all. And the ghosts on the platform hid the body of his lover, and he wouldn't help the train leave the station if he couldn't get together with his lover.

    Xiao Lan thought, maybe this is the reason why the train couldn't leave.

    At this time, the woman's body dissipated. Just like the beauty when she died, the picture when she disappeared was still beautiful, like a firefly in the night.

    The fluorescent light floated in the air, and finally merged into the brooch in Xiao Lan's hand.

    When she disappeared completely, a black ticket appeared where the corpse had been.

    Luo took a step forward and picked up the ticket on the ground. It was exactly the same as the one they found in the train before. He smiled at Xiao Lan: "We have all the tickets, sir."

    Since you have to disguise yourself as a player, in such a situation that you need key items to clear the level, of course, it is safer to be one person at a time. Otherwise, it would be too conspicuous for a group of players to suddenly mix in a guy who can clear the level without props.

    "Let's go, now our goal is to return to the train to hand in the mission." Xiao Lan said.

    ——

    The two stepped out of the control room.

    At the same time, they felt something was wrong around them. It seemed that the disguise was peeled off. The old but complete pillars began to collapse, the ceiling began to fall down as if overwhelmed, and even cracks appeared on the ground.

    Pieces of black spots began to appear on the neat walls, and the black spots were full of burn marks and even a little spark.

    Because of these Mars, some light appeared on the dark platform. Although it was still not bright, it was much better than the original range where only flashlights could be seen.

    With these lights, Xiao Lan found that the entire range of sight was undergoing such changes.

    At the same time, there was also a scorched smell in the air, which smelled a bit pungent and had a tendency to become more and more intense.

    "Cough... This may be the real appearance of the station." Xiao Lan coughed dryly, feeling a little uncomfortable in his throat and a little hard to breathe. The oxygen in the air seemed to be decreasing.

    It seems that we have to speed up and get out of here.

    "Deng deng deng-"

    At this moment, the sound of rapid footsteps suddenly came from the front.

    Xiao Lan looked up and saw a twisted figure running towards them. The man's limbs showed an unnatural posture, but his running speed was surprisingly fast.

    He stepped on the firelight and rushed out of the darkness, looking like a demon.

    Xiao Lan raised his hand and took out [this is a poison-stained dagger] from the storage space and placed it in front of him. He adjusted his standing posture and leaned over slightly, posing the best posture that he could attack at any time.

    At the same time, the [Introduction to the Fundamental Principles of Marxist Philosophy] is also prepared, so that whether this guy is an entity or a soul, he can have a battle with the other party.

    When the other party ran close, Xiao Lan clearly saw that his face was rotten, and a large piece of skin was peeled off, exposing the muscles and teeth below, looking very hideous.

    His cloudy eyes lingered on the two of them, and then he seemed to think that Xiao Lan was a little more delicious, so he showed a malicious smile at Xiao Lan, and then opened his mouth to an incredible angle. All staggered fangs.

    He suddenly accelerated and swooped towards Xiao Lan, and his feet stepped on the ground to create deep cracks.

    Xiao Lan predicted the position of his attack and slid to the side, the dagger in his hand was ready to counterattack.

    The next moment-

    "Whoa-"

    The floor, which was already full of cracks, collapsed under the heavy stamping of the opponent.

    In Xiao Lan's dazed eyes, the guy with his teeth and claws struggled weakly in the air, his twisted hands and feet drew irregular arcs in the air, like a bastard being picked up.

    Then he fell helplessly, and slammed into the floor on the next floor with a bang.

    Xiao Lan just felt a little sympathy in her heart, when Luo next to him directly lifted a broken pillar and threw it down, hitting the opponent right with a huge roar.

    Seeing that there was no more sound from below, Luo showed a satisfied smile, and patted the dust on his hands gracefully.

    Xiao Lan couldn't bear to look directly away.

    It's so sad, so sad...
