The soles of the shoes stepped on the old floor and echoed in the empty platform, overhead flashes of overwhelmingly working electric lights, and the air was still filled with a rotten musty smell.
There are a lot of rubbish on the ground, swaying slightly in the wind, making it look like a train.
An old newspaper was blown to Xiao Lan's feet.
He picked it up and saw that the yellowed newspapers were full of short gossip news from parents. In the middle, it was written in a slightly faded bright red font: "If you want to be rich, have fewer children and more trees, raise fewer children and more pigs." ".
Turn the newspaper over, and in addition to the advertisement on the back, it is printed in bold fonts, "One person is superbirth, the whole village is ligated", "If you raise a pig, you will fatten yourself"...
The corners of Xiao Lan's mouth twitched: "It's a slogan full of age."
These slogans were widely circulated in the 1980s and 1990s. They are simple and impressive, and are very consistent with the style of this platform.
Luo also saw the content of the newspaper, and he issued a question from non-humans: "Why are humans full of enthusiasm for pigs?"
Xiao Lan: "... I also want to know."
Maybe this is the love of the descendants of Yan Huang for breeding, he guessed.
—
The two followed the direction of the track and continued forward.
In the train, I only saw the moss on the ground, and when I walked to the platform, Xiao Lan discovered that there was more water on the ground than originally seen.
Some corners may be standing water all the year round, and the dark water stains have become an ecosystem of its own, and algae and unknown creatures have grown in it, although it does not look peaceful and beautiful.
As they advance, there are always "tick" and "tick" dripping sounds echoing.
After walking for a while, Xiao Lan saw the exit sign ahead.
The direction pointed by the sign is a long concrete ladder, as old as this platform, and the front is pitch black, making it impossible to see the end.
The escalators on both sides have long been out of service, and besides dust, they are full of rust, which makes people suspect that this thing will not be able to run again. Even if the old man could move, Xiao Lan doubted that it would be out of condition midway.
Therefore, if you want to get out of the station, you can only use it.
Looking at this length, if it is an ordinary person, I am afraid that it will not be able to walk in 20 minutes. What kind of ghostly designed subway station
Imagine if a social animal got off the subway on the edge of being late, but faced this long desperate ladder, he would surely give the designer a scented essay. Then cried and raced against the clock to run forward, what a miserable picture.
But there is no other way to go here, and the two of them still set foot on the stairs.
The space where the stairs are located is not small, and every step can bring a little empty echo.
The repeated upstairs activities are quite monotonous, and the surrounding scenes are unchanging, which makes people wonder if they are stepping in place.
It has been several minutes, but the road ahead is still endless. Only the exit sign when they entered looks further and further away, indicating that they have been out for a long time.
Xiao Lan continued to walk forward in silence, when suddenly he heard a voice behind him.
"clatter-"
"clatter-"
The voice appeared impenetrably behind Xiao Lan, cleverly overlapping his footsteps, keeping pace with Xiao Lan. When he speeds up the pace, the sound of footsteps will also increase, and when he slows down, the sound also slows down synchronously, and when he stops, the sound will stop again.
No more than no more than a few, perfectly stepping on the rhythm of his pace. People can't tell if they don't listen carefully, but they may feel that their footsteps are weird.
When Xiao Lan looked back, there was still nothing on the stairs as usual.
Xiao Lan stepped forward again, and the voice from behind appeared again, as if something was tightly clinging behind him, but he could not find the other party at all.
At this time, the lights on the steps flickered a few times, and there was a sizzling electric noise, making everything that had been dilapidated around it even more disturbing, and there seemed to be hidden voyeurs hidden in the darkness.
It was like a triumphant demonstration from the dark, waiting to see his panicked reaction.
Seeing Xiao Lan stopped, Luo also stopped after him.
Xiao Lan raised his eyebrows lightly, and he turned his head to give Luo a look. Without words, Luo understood what he meant in an instant.
In the next instant, the two began to run forward at an unscientific speed.
The two figures are like flashing meteors, and they have rushed far away on the steps in an instant. Their figures have left two afterimages in the air, so fast that they can't be caught by the naked eye.
Don't you like to follow people? Come on, just follow you if you can!
The figure had disappeared in place, and the sound of footsteps that came only after a step in the distance echoed. Do you hear this sound of footsteps, like two crisp slaps slapped indiscriminately on the face.
Unknown ghost left in place: "..."
What the hell are these two people? Did you grow up drinking gasoline? Run so fast!
The point is that it really can't catch up with it, which is very irritating, oh no madness.
Do you know if you are speeding? ! !
—
Xiao Lan ran wildly for a while before stopping, and Luo beside him also stopped simultaneously. The two men didn't blush or pant, as if they were just walking.
Xiao Lan took two steps forward, listening carefully to her own footsteps, and the sound of footsteps that had followed her behind her disappeared.
He smiled back with satisfaction, you see how important exercise is.
At this time, the stairs were also at the last end, Xiao Lan finally understood why the end was not visible from the bottom before, because the light above her head became weaker as she went back, and it was almost extinguished when she approached the top.
When you look up from the bottom, it is naturally a piece of black that you can't see your head.
He took out the [Nuclear Energy Flashlight], with the help of the flashlight light, began to explore this area of suspected exit.
It was pitch black here, and only some indicator lights were still holding their posts, emitting red or green light.
This place is much messier than the platform below. Flashlights can clearly see a lot of debris on the ground, discarded mineral water bottles, shoes, clothes, and even unknown socks and wigs.
The chairs for the passengers to rest turned over to the ground, and even the vending machine was tilted to one side, as if it had been through some big storm.
There was still a faint smell in the air, as if something with plastic had burned.
Xiao Lan headed in the direction where the gate should be placed.
Suddenly, the light of the flashlight swept across a pale face.
There was a look of horror on that face, his eyes were almost out of his eye sockets, and the strong flashlight light shining on his face, and it did not make him look away because of the stimulation. But although his eyes were staring in Xiao Lan's direction, their eyes were not focused, they looked hollow and weird.
"Ho, ho—"
His mouth was wide open, and he was breathing air in big mouths, the frequency of his breathing wanted to be rapid, as if he was about to breathe out. The wide open mouth caused his cheeks to dent, his facial features were twisted, and the muscles on his face became tight.
This dignity made it difficult for Xiao Lan to tell if it was a person or a ghost.
He walked two steps forward and raised his hand to Xiao Lan. He didn't know if he was talking to Xiao Lan or saying to himself: "Ticket... Ticket... No ticket..."
Seeing that he is likely to be a person, Xiao Lan tentatively asked, "Hello?"
However, the person on the other side did not respond, as if Xiao Lan was air, still murmured in this weird state: "Hey... No ticket... No way..."
In the next instant, he suddenly disappeared from the light of the flashlight.
Then came the sudden sound of messy footsteps.
The voice went in one direction, and Xiao Lan turned the angle of the flashlight and shone it in the direction he was heading. I saw a figure lying down to the ground and rushing forward. The speed of that person was extremely fast, and even if he hit the chair he turned over, he didn't mean to stop at all, as if he didn't know the pain.
Xiao Lan and Luo quickly followed, following this weird person all the way forward.
Because this person was in a weird state, they didn't get too close, they just kept a distance to observe what he was doing.
The man rushed all the way to the gate of the gate.
Then he charged towards the gate like crazy, and didn't give up even if he was blocked. He slapped desperately and roared meaninglessly. Soon, his hands were already stained with blood.
With his flapping, a red prohibition sign lit up under the gate. The red light appeared extremely dazzling in the dark environment, flashing at a frequency like breathing, and he would stand at the gate. The people of shining like crazy.
Feeling that the situation was not right, Xiao Lan quickly backed up a few steps, away from the gate area that seemed to be getting more and more wrong.
At the same time he yelled twice, trying to recall the man's mind.
But as the saying goes, you can't stop a person who wants to die.
This person still looked like everything around him didn't exist, and had no idea what Xiao Lan said. At this moment, there is only one thing in his mind to break through the gate.
Soon, he broke the barrier of the gate.
Then he raised his head, raised his blood-stained hands, and ran forward as if a victorious marathon runner crossed the finish line.
"Hahaha! Out of the station! Out of the station!!!" He yelled nervously regardless of his injury.
The moment he fully stepped out, his body burst like a balloon filled with water, and thick blood splashed all over, staining the entire gate area with blood red.
This is the end of forcibly leaving the station without a ticket.
The strong smell of blood rushed along with the unknown wind, combined with the red light that was still not extinguished, making Xiao Lan feel like she was in hell.
Fuck, is the price of fare evasion a bit bigger
