Chapter 244: Chapter 244 Extra Stop! (Fourth update)

“Well… On metro line 14 we operate, the last stop is officially the Urban Village station. But when the Hu family constructed this line, they added one more station. That station was never officially opened. Even I, the train operator, don’t know the name of that last station. After the final train run of the day, an empty car is run, that car goes to this station. Rumors say… The last station, which was never opened, is not for… well, is not for the living… haha… but for… uh… for them… you understand, right?”

Having said that, Song Yuqiang’s face was rather pale.

“For the ghosts?” Huang Xiaolong couldn’t help laughing.

Having seen so many ghosts the night before, Song Yuru wasn’t that scared of the mention of ghosts anymore. “That sounds pretty paranormal.”

“Little Long! You… don’t just casually use the word ‘ghost’…” Song Yuqiang warns. “Anyway, this situation is very eerie. The unopened station that’s run as an empty trip after the last subway, has been surrounded by various rumors, mostly related to paranormal events. But we don’t investigate it, we do our jobs, get paid, and stay out of other things.”

“Yeah, subways are indeed hotspots for paranormal events,” Huang Xiaolong responded nonchalantly, starting his explanation. “Since subways are built underground, they are filled with negative energy, which ghosts are fond of. There are tons of paranormal events related to the subways when you search online.”

“One well-known case is the early paranormal event surrounding the advertisement on the Guangji railway in Hong Kong Island.”

“Also, the Line 1 subway in Modu is a well-known ‘ghost station’. It has had eight deaths since it opened.”

“People say that Metro Line 10 in Beijing is rather eerie. On the first day it opened, the first train in the morning, which workers called the ‘test drive car’, was not supposed to carry any passengers. Its main task was to go through the route to check for any issues. However, after it finished its journey, they found bloodstains in the middle carriage. The driver reported it immediately. While the workers were checking, one of them found something that looked like a bag near the track of one of the stations on Line 10. But upon closer examination, it wasn’t a bag, it was a dead dog. They decided to dispose of the body when the subway was closed at night. But when two young men were sent to retrieve it, one of them vomited because it wasn’t a dead dog, but a human body. The head and limbs were gone, and only the torso was left. After review of the surveillance footage and management procedures, it was clear that no one could have entered the track, especially during non-operational hours. But to this day, the identity of the corpse remains unknown because the surveillance cameras didn’t capture anyone entering the tracks. Strangely, there had been incidents of the track switch moving automatically at this station later.”

“There are some in other countries too. Like the paranormal incident at Osaka station in Japan, where a woman jumped onto the tracks and mysteriously disappeared.”

Listening to Huang Xiaoliong’s vivid descriptions, both Song Yuqiang and Song Yuru were freaked out.

“Um…Little Long, I work on the subway…you…you make me nervous when you mention such things…stop talking, stop talking, I’m almost peeing my pants…” Song Yuqiang hurriedly said.

“Alright, I’ll stop.” Huang Xiaolong closed his mouth.

Afterward, the three of them casually chatted about unrelated things. Song Yuqiang received a phone call and had to leave for some other business.

“Little Long, what do you think about the Metro Line 14 in Binhai? There’s an extra station behind the Urban Village station. We never knew about this station.” Song Yuru nervously said.

“Wife, it’s simple. After the final regular journey, they have an empty run – that one goes to that station. Let’s take the subway tonight! We’ll check out this station, and see what’s so peculiar about it!” Huang Xiaolong sounded excited.

Ha ha ha, an extra station?

Not for the living?

Could it really be for ghosts?

That’s all rather interesting. Maybe it’s connected to the Hu family’s well-hidden underground tomb?

Huang Xiaolong couldn’t wait!

‘Damn it! I can’t wait till tonight! I want to take the subway!’

After Song Yuqiang left, Huang Xiaolong and Song Yuru casually chatted in the living room downstairs. Huang Xiaolong, of course, couldn’t resist making moves on her, while Song Yuru was coyly playing hard to get.

Just as Huang Xiaolong was about to make a more bold advance on Song Yuru, they heard arguments and commotion outside. He vaguely recognized the voices of Father Song and Mother Song.

Song Yuru heard it too.

“What happened? Are my parents arguing with someone?” Song Yuru pushed away Huang Xiaolong’s hand that was trying to take advantage of her. She got up and adjusted her clothes, somewhat anxious.

“Oh, wife, we should go and have a look. Don’t worry. I won’t let your future parents be wronged while I’m around.” Huang Xiaolong quickly got up.

The two ran out of the house.

There were people all around the block, and Father Song and Mother Song were standing with a basket full of groceries in each hand. Presumably, they had just returned from the market. Now, their faces filled with anxious expressions and sweat dripped from their foreheads as they tried to reason with someone.

Mother Song kept apologizing. “Young lady, it really was an accident that we bumped into you… We didn’t do it on purpose… Look~~ at this… this…”

Father Song spoke with a reddened face. “Young lady, you definitely bumped into us, now why are you blaming us completely?”

A chic woman in her twenties, wearing a miniskirt, fishnet stockings and purple hair, put her hands on her hips and was yelling. “Is that how you talk? You broke my crystal glass because you don’t know how to walk properly, now you’re lying? Do you know how much this set of crystal glasses costs? Anyway, I don’t care! Today, you have to pay for it! Otherwise, I will call the police immediately and teach you a lesson!”

On the ground was a paper box with six broken wine glasses scattered around. It seemed that the glasses were accidentally bumped into by either Song’s parents or the lady with purple hair, and consequently, they fell and broke.

The purple-haired lady spoke again. “You two, don’t annoy me! Otherwise, I’ll get a few people to teach you a lesson! F***!”

“Which family are you from, young lady? Why are you using swear words in your talk!” Father Song couldn’t bear it anymore and shouted.

Based on age, the purple-haired woman should be about the same age as Song Yuru, and should call Father Song and Mother Song uncle and aunty. They are elders, after all. Why not talk to them with respect? Why speak to them with harsh words? That’s not respectful at all.

“Oh! Motherf , you still don’t admit it?” The purple-haired woman’s eyes glistened hatefully. “Well, you don’t admit it? I will call people to beat you now! You two old farts! Just asking for it!”
