Nightmare Apostle

Chapter 1903: Chapter 1081: The Token of Allegiance

Once the deal was finalized, Yandeta Chiyoda left. The reason she boarded the train one stop early was to set aside some time to touch base with Watanabe Gou. freёwebnovel.com

Starting from Renyuan Shrine Station, it entered the route of the night Sasaki Sakura disappeared, which was not a secure choice.

To deal with Chu Xi, Yandeta Chiyoda knew she couldn’t rely solely on herself, but with Watanabe Gou, it might be just enough.

Thinking of this, a hint of anger flashed across Yandeta Chiyoda’s face. If it were only Chu Xi, it would be manageable, but that little wench Takagi Reina dared to defy her as well. She planned to find an opportunity to deal with both of them.

Not long after Yandeta Chiyoda returned to carriage number 5, the train slowly stopped at Renyuan Shrine Station. A noticeably larger group boarded this time, with three people entering their carriage: a couple with the man slightly drunk as the girl supported him, and an elderly man with a hunched back wearing a broad-brimmed hat, holding a black handbag.

The three found seats separately, and with the doors closing, the train once again set off into the endless night.

Just as Yandeta Chiyoda pondered what might unfold tonight, suddenly Hirano Yuuhi sitting opposite her seemed to have noticed something, she sprang up and quickly approached the window beside her, looked outside, her voice low yet hurried: "Senior Sister Yuanda, look, they’re... they’re running away!"

Yandeta Chiyoda immediately stood up, following Hirano Yuuhi’s pointing direction. The next second, her pupils contracted sharply as she saw on Renyuan Shrine Station’s platform, two figures running away with their backs towards them.

If it wasn’t Xiao Lin Zhengyan and Yamamoto Chunai, then who else could it be.

"Damn it!" This scene enraged Yandeta Chiyoda to curse, disrupting her plans for the night.

She had been careless, only focusing on tonight’s crisis from the Ghost, neglecting these two inconspicuous newcomers.

Yandeta Chiyoda now realized she had underestimated these two; they had nerves of steel. This betrayal was tantamount to openly offending the three veteran players.

What’s more troublesome is, the newcomers fled, and it happened at Renyuan Shrine Station, which means the Substitute Death Ghost is gone.

Tonight, the Ghost’s attack target is likely among the remaining three, with Watanabe Gou receiving the Ghost Train Ticket taking the lead, followed by Hirano Yuuhi, and then herself.

"Senior Sister Yuanda, what do we do now?" Hirano Yuuhi asked in a low voice.

Yandeta Chiyoda glanced at the carriage next door and found Watanabe Gou was seated with his back towards the escape direction, showing no abnormality, indicating he was still unaware of this event.

"Don’t panic." Yandeta Chiyoda pressed Hirano Yuuhi’s shoulder, making her sit beside her, and softly reminded: "Yuuhi, calm down, this matter mustn’t be known to Watanabe Gou, do you understand what I mean?"

"Understood." Hirano Yuuhi, being an experienced player, quickly grasped Yandeta Chiyoda’s plan once she calmed down.

Their superficial cooperation persisted tonight largely due to the presence of these Substitute Death Ghosts, now they fled. If the Ghost comes, at least one of the three might die.

In the face of true life-and-death, all cooperation ceases to exist, and Watanabe Gou is not easy to deal with. ƒгeewebnovёl.com

He is ruthless and cunning, if he learns the truth, he might scheme on how to use them as Substitute Death Ghosts for himself.

The other side doesn’t know the truth yet, even if something occurs, he would first head to carriage number 2 to find those two.

Compared to her and Hirano Yuuhi, obviously those two newcomers are easier to kill, besides, there’s personal resentment among them.

With Xiao Lin Zhengyan escaping, Watanabe Gou naturally drew a blank, but the two of them could utilize this brief yet precious time to contemplate breaking free.

For Yandeta Chiyoda, if she could save Watanabe Gou, it would be optimal, having him as an ally against Chu Xi, but if she can’t, she wouldn’t insist.

Risking herself for saving someone almost destined to die wasn’t worth it.

"Go back and sit down, pretend as if nothing ever happened." Yandeta Chiyoda instructed Hirano Yuuhi quietly.

She knew Watanabe Gou was highly suspicious; if he discovered herself whispering with Hirano Yuuhi, it would surely arouse suspicion, thus hindering their actions tonight.

Returning to her seat, Hirano Yuuhi steadied her mind, took out her phone, and snapped a photo of the carriage.

This was their second photo of the night, the first was taken not long ago, just as the train was approaching Renyuan Shrine Station.

She specifically photographed the sign bearing "Renyuan Shrine Station" as proof.

"Let’s hope tonight passes without incident." After glancing at the photo, Hirano Yuuhi put away her phone, inhaled deeply as she lifted her head, silently praying.

Outside the station at Renyuan Shrine Station, Yamamoto Chunai was hunched over, hands on her knees, panting heavily and tasting blood in her throat: "Xiao Lin... Mr. Xiaolin, they didn’t... didn’t follow us, right?"

"No, they did not dare. Yandeta Chiyoda’s task tonight is to repeat Sasaki Sakura’s route from before. If they break their word, Chu Jun and Mr. Kato won’t forgive them." Xiao Lin Zhengyan looked back at Renyuan Shrine Station, feeling sentimental: "They only dare to bully newcomers like us. Look at Chu Jun and Miss Takagi, they aren’t afraid of them at all."
