Nightmare Apostle

Chapter 1877: Chapter 1067: He’s a Good Man

"What are you thinking about?" Yandeta Chiyoda asked immediately, noticing Yang Xiao’s unusual expression.

"That tunnel... no, that mountain, what’s the name of that mountain?" Yang Xiao asked.

This question indeed stumped everyone. Suzuki Takashi was momentarily bewildered, "I don’t know, we’ve been focused on investigating Sasaki Sakura’s disappearance case. Why do you ask?"

"Sasaki Sakura got off after the Old Valley Town Station, and I think she hasn’t reached Shirahata Station yet."

"Is it possible that there is another station between Old Valley Town and Shirahata Station?" Yang Xiao did not reveal the clues he had; he was trying to guide the group to think. freёwebnoѵel.com

"That’s unlikely. We’ve been paying attention outside the window the whole time and haven’t seen any other station along the way. The train didn’t stop once." Mimura Kaori was very confident about her judgment, as she had personally taken the Renhe Line train. It was still light out then, and she could see clearly along the way.

Retreating a step, it’s unlikely all five of them could be mistaken.

"You’re saying the issue lies within the tunnel, that there’s a station there, and Sasaki Sakura accidentally got off there." Kato Shinjiro’s expression turned serious, becoming thoughtful.

"That’s just my speculation," Yang Xiao didn’t speak definitively.

"An interesting idea, that’s a direction we can pursue. Tomorrow, we can verify it; it shouldn’t be difficult." Watanabe Gou lowered his voice. If there truly is a station within the tunnel, it can’t be hidden.

But based on the clues gathered so far, the possibility was considered low. Those who had personally taken the Renhe Line noted that the scene between Old Valley Town and Shirahata was quite desolate, and there was nothing before and after the tunnel. There was simply no need to build a station there, let alone inside a mountain, which doesn’t make sense at all.

However, Yang Xiao remained confident in his judgment, having personally seen that dark, empty station on the script box.

As night set in, generally speaking, nighttime isn’t suitable for looking for clues, especially on the first night when the situation remains unclear.

The usual practice was that, as night hadn’t fully fallen, they decided to find a place suitable for resting overnight.

At this moment, Yang Xiao also took out the five rental agreements he found in the drawer of the Detective Agency, along with five keys.

"We have 12 people here, divided into five rooms. You all can discuss it." Hirano Yuuhi stared at the contracts on the table.

"No, you’re mistaken. It’s not five rooms; it’s six." Yang Xiao tapped with his toe on the floor, "This office is also a room. We found two blankets under the closet, and the sofa here turns into a bed."

"You’re suggesting a group should stay in this office?" Xiao Lin Zhengyan’s face went white instantly. Having personally experienced the ghost knocking event, he dared not face such terrifying scenes again, especially at night.

"No... don’t leave anyone here, let’s all leave. It’s really too scary. What if that thing comes again at night; can’t we all stay together?" Yamamoto Chunai pleaded almost tearfully.

No one paid much attention to their words. After all, they were newcomers, and newcomers without experience or strength have no say in tasks; they can only obey. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

Although Xiao Lin Zhengyan survived a nightmare task once, he coasted through it, without adding any significant value to the team, existing similarly to pure newcomers.

"The usual practice, 12 people, six rooms, two persons per room. We also need to assign someone to guard here." Yandeta Chiyoda set the rule for the night, casting a somewhat cold gaze towards Yang Xiao, Takagi Reina, and a few others, "You four split into two groups, the rest can pair freely, drawing lots to decide tonight’s lodging."

"We four..." Xiao Lin Zhengyan paused, realizing his group had been excluded—himself, Yamamoto Chunai, Yang Xiao, and Takagi Reina, all who had previously stayed at the Detective Agency.

"Senior Sister Yuanda, why did you say that?" Yamamoto Chunai asked, panic evident. She had a vague, extremely bad premonition, her heart racing suddenly, her thoughts chaotic.

Yang Xiao and Takagi Reina, however, remained calm, as expected. If teammates lacked even this degree of judgment, he would find it peculiar.

He liked teammates with vigilance and execution capability, as it increased their chances of surviving the task by sticking together.

Undoubtedly, he, Takagi Reina, Xiao Lin Zhengyan, and Yamamoto Chunai became suspect.

The reasoning was simple, as they encountered a paranormal event and did not lose anyone.

The teammates suspected one of them might have been targeted by the Ghost, or worse... replaced, hence no sensible teammate would choose to stay with any of them tonight.

Such judgment is quite ordinary, Yang Xiao found nothing to complain about, as he would react similarly.

"Alright then, I’ll stay with Chu Xi tonight, I’ll rely on your guidance," Xiao Lin Zhengyan had a good impression of Yang Xiao, who once comforted his anxious mood.

Yamamoto Chunai longingly looked at Takagi Reina, pleading pitifully, "Miss Takagi, please take care of me; I’ll be obedient and won’t cause you any trouble."
