Chapter 292 New Life (13)
"How is this going?"
Who's knocking on the door?
"What do we do now?!"
The newcomer, clearly inexperienced in such a situation, looked on in horror at the veteran passengers present.
—Bang, bang.
The knocking was still going on.
Lu Kai's face was slightly pale, and his expression was terrified. His mind was in a state of confusion, his heart was beating wildly, and there seemed to be an idea deep in his mind, but he couldn't figure it out himself.
He only knew that he was very scared, and he felt like he was ignoring something, but he couldn't remember it. Once he remembered it...
--boom.
There was another knock on the door.
This time, the knocking was stronger than before, so strong that it gave the illusion that the whole room was trembling slightly, and so strong that Lu Kai felt his heart skip a beat and his fingers twitched uncontrollably.
"Hey, can someone tell me what to do?" One of the newcomers was already overwhelmed by the psychological pressure. The anxiety born from the repression and fear made her unable to control her tone of voice.
The fortune teller closed her eyes at some point, changing from her previously somewhat lazy sitting posture to a rather serious one. Her hands were no longer just casually resting on the sofa, but were clasped together, palms facing inward and suspended above her abdomen.
Nobody knows what she's doing.
"Lucai, you should go return the videotape."
Ning Jianwei reminded him.
This forced Lu Kai to wake up abruptly from his unwillingness to face reality and his escapism.
"Time. What time is it now?" he asked in his death throes.
"Time?" A newcomer took out his phone and looked at it: "Huh? Why does it show 10 AM on my phone?"
"You can't look at the time on your phone. The time here is here, right now." The speaker was an old passenger from Anning City.
She was only at level one, and this was her first time entering a special-level platform. However, this did not mean that she lacked platform experience. On the contrary, due to the leak of supernatural information in Anning City, she was frequently running around at low-level platforms, earning little income, accumulating no money to buy her life, and obtaining no useful supernatural items. She was simply constantly depleting herself.
Now, suddenly caught up in the death platform again, she even felt a vague sense of relief.
So, when faced with the strange knocking, she was probably the calmest person among them, and even her tone of voice sounded like she was just chatting casually.
"It must be past midnight now," she said, glancing at the sky outside the window, which was already pitch black.
Unlike Ning Jianwei's tough indifference and Lu Jinzhao's aloof gentleness, her tone and expression carried a subtle malice: "Didn't you notice yesterday that time passes very quickly here?"
Her voice rose at the end, as if she were talking about something that would make her feel good.
Upon hearing this, Lu Kai's expression turned somewhat distraught: "You did this on purpose!"
"You all knew this, but no one reminded me. In fact, you deliberately prevented me from returning the videotape!" he said, raising his bloodshot eyes to glare at Ning Jianwei.
"You just want me dead! Why? We have no grudge against each other!"
Ning Jianwei remained unmoved: "Aren't you going to return the videotape?"
--boom!
There was another loud knock on the door. Lu Kai's body trembled, and his fingers started twitching uncontrollably again. He rushed toward the videotape, ignoring the strange liquid on it, and grabbed it in his hand.
But the next second, as if he had discovered something strange, he sat down on the spot and repeatedly watched the videotape. "What's wrong?" someone asked, assuming he had found something.
But Lu Kai ignored the person who was asking him questions. He gripped the videotape with his fingers and pulled hard. With a snap, he opened the videotape case.
"Lu Kai, what are you doing?" Jiang Jing asked him.
Lu Kai still didn't answer. His movements became hurried, as if he was in a great hurry, haphazardly pulling the tape out of the tape.
The dark brown cassette tape was being pulled out and became a mess in his arms. Water dripped through the tape onto his clothes, but Lu Kai paid no attention.
Those around him had already noticed that something was wrong with him. The newcomers didn't dare to approach him or talk to him anymore, while the veteran passengers just watched, observed, and waited for a result.
The window was open, but not a breath of wind blew in, as if the darkness here was frozen.
Lu Kai pulled out a large cassette tape, big enough to wrap his arms around, from a small videotape the size of a palm.
He pulled until he could pull no more out, then gave a sharp tug, completely separating the cassette tape from the videotape.
He stood up.
The newlyweds, who were looking at him with fear on their faces, all shrank back slightly, as if they wanted to stay away from him.
Lu Kai muttered to himself, "I have to return the videotape, return the videotape."
As he spoke, he carried a large bundle of cassette tapes toward the door. However, after only a few steps, everyone noticed that his walking posture seemed a bit off. It was as if he had forgotten how to walk.
Lu Kai, soaked to the bone by amniotic fluid, had just stood up when he tripped over his own feet and fell to the ground. But no one found the scene funny; instead, they were horrified.
He fell straight to the ground with a loud thud, and it looked painful. Lu Kai's expression was somewhat ferocious. The cassette tape in his arms was scattered because of the fall, and some of it fell on him. He didn't care and just held it like that. Instead of getting up, he started crawling towards the door on all fours.
"What's wrong with him?"
"Possessed by an evil spirit? Possessed by a ghost?!"
Almost all the newlyweds backed up against the wall, trying to stay as far away from Lu Kai as possible, but Lu Kai ignored them and just crookedly and somewhat laboriously crawled toward the door.
Even when he crawled, he fell several times, and the tape became increasingly tangled, almost forming a knot around his body.
Finally, he climbed to the door. The knocking had stopped. Attentive passengers knew that the knocking stopped around the time Lu Kai pulled out the tape.
Instead of getting up to open the door, he did something strange.
He found the end of the tape in the mess, and then haphazardly stuffed it into the crack in the door with his fingers. He seemed to have forgotten how to use his fingers, and it looked a bit difficult for him to grab the end of the tape.
The leader couldn't get it in, and he started to get anxious. He curled up towards the doorway, using both hands and staring intently at the crack in the door, trying to push his hand in.
Finally, he shoved the leader through the crack in the door.
In that instant, all the panic in his body vanished, replaced by a sense of peace. His ferocious expression gradually calmed down, and he stopped trying to support himself, instead collapsing to the ground. The cassette tape was wrapped around his body, and he curled up, gently clenching his fists in front of him and closing his eyes.
"he died."
The fortune teller opened his eyes, his tone resolute.
".What?"
Before the still-terrified newcomer could react, the fortune teller had already gotten up and walked to Lu Kai's side.
His body was covered in liquid, and his chest remained flat. The fortune teller lifted the clothes on his abdomen, and the other end of the tape was connected to his navel, as if the umbilical cord that he had not yet cut had extended out of his body.
