Nightmare Apostle

Chapter 1947: Chapter 1103: Shura Field

"Miss Takagi, pack your things. We are leaving now." It was getting late, and Yang Xiao decided to head to the station first.

As the two headed towards the door, hurried footsteps sounded behind them. Before Yang Xiao had a chance to turn around, his right arm was pulled forcefully. Upon turning, he saw a face full of regret.

"Mr. Chu, I’m sorry! I... I shouldn’t have hesitated. You’re a good person, I trust you, and Mr. Xiaolin... Mr. Xiaolin trusts you too!" Yamamoto Chunai said hurriedly.

At this moment, Xiao Lin Zhengyan snapped out of it, Yamamoto Chunai’s words were a wake-up call. Aside from Yang Xiao, who else could they trust, and who would be willing to genuinely help them?

Taking a step back, even if Yang Xiao planned to harm them tonight, they had no complaints. After all, without his support, who knows if they could’ve survived until now.

If they lost Yang Xiao’s protection, it wouldn’t be the ghosts they’d fear but Yandeta Chiyoda and Watanabe Gou who had countless ways to end them.

"Mr. Chu Xi, I was wrong, I... I really hesitated for a moment just now, I’m sorry, I apologize to you!" Xiao Lin Zhengyan stepped forward quickly, bowing almost 90 degrees, his attitude extremely sincere.

"Is it that you know you were wrong, or that you are scared now?" Takagi Reina crossed her arms, sneering.

Yang Xiao glanced at the clock on the wall, time was tight. He kept it brief, teaching the two actions he’d rehearsed in his mind earlier.

"Once you board, whether standing or sitting, always remember to support with your left arm. Sitting is simple, using your left arm for support is a relatively usual action."

"If standing, try to find somewhere to lean on, like a wall or handrail, where your left arm can make contact. Do you understand?" Yang Xiao demonstrated for them personally.

"Understood, but... but wouldn’t it be better if you found us and then we exchanged secret signals?" Xiao Lin Zhengyan inquired.

Yang Xiao frowned slightly, looking a bit impatient, but he still explained, "Once you are found, it’s too late to act, and you might expose yourself, wasting my time to find others."

Every second aboard the ghost train was precious, Yang Xiao had many things to verify and no time to waste on them.

"Mr. Chu Xi, is there anything we can do for you tonight?" Yamamoto Chunai asked urgently as Yang Xiao was about to leave.

"Protect yourself, don’t cause trouble." Yang Xiao didn’t turn his head, opened the door, and left quickly with Takagi Reina.

Yang Xiao and Reina hailed a taxi by the street, and after a journey, the two arrived at West Matsubara Station.

It was the station prior to Old Valley Town; they planned to board from here.

The platform was unusually quiet tonight, with only the two waiting for the train, distant night lights twinkling faintly, which should belong to late sleepers.

Standing at the platform’s edge, Takagi Reina tilted her head, looking out for the next train. She accidentally noticed Yang Xiao watching her with an indescribable look.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Takagi Reina felt uncomfortable.

"There’s something I don’t quite understand. How did you, a low-level Apostle who knows nothing, guess the Paint Ghost’s ability was related to the curse and analyze so specifically, even knowing the curse is lifted after escaping an attack once?" Yang Xiao spoke calmly, as if posing a trivial question. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

"I just followed your lead. You were the one who proposed the concept of curse killing first. Besides, I’m not stupid; isn’t this kind of analytical ability the most basic?" Takagi Reina said, both angry and anxious.

"Really?"

"Hey, how can you be so ungrateful? I offered my heart to you, and you treat me like this?" Takagi Reina raised her voice, accusingly.

"Alright, if you trust me, go ahead and pose in the secret signal manner, like Xiao Lin Zhengyan and the others. It’ll lighten my burden." Yang Xiao requested.

Upon hearing this, Takagi Reina rolled her eyes and decisively refused, "That’s not happening."

Takagi Reina felt that it’s better to keep her fate in her own hands.

However, considering Yang Xiao’s skills, Takagi Reina worried he might accidentally hurt her, hence she persistently asked Yang Xiao to design a safety measure.

More precisely, a safety posture.

Once Yang Xiao approached her, if she posed in that manner, she could identify herself and avoid being caught.

Yang Xiao complied with her request but reminded her that they were in the same boat. If anything happened to him, Yandeta Chiyoda and Watanabe Gou would easily get rid of her.

Soon, the train arrived. Yang Xiao and Takagi Reina boarded Car No. 3, one after the other.

The two quickly dispersed, acting separately, inspecting the entire train, finding no familiar faces onboard.

Returning to Car No. 3, there were many empty seats. The two sat together, Takagi Reina leaned back against the seat, sighing.

"Aren’t you planning to hide?" Yang Xiao asked, tilting his head.

"I’ve changed my mind. We’re staying in Car No. 3 tonight. When we board the ghost train, you can search Cars No. 4, 5, and 6 first, and I’ll keep an eye here."

"They won’t know we’re together. Seeing you leave, those possibly hiding nearby might relax and thus expose themselves."

"I can observe Cars No. 2, 3, and 4 from here, I can help you."

"If necessary, I can also participate in inspecting the entire ghost train. After all, you’re the ’ghost.’ Even if they recognize me, they can’t do anything." Takagi Reina said.
