Chapter 973

『Ghost-mask-kun, the subway tunnel is too dark, and it is a three-dimensional terrain where different lines intersect. I can’t continue to guide you based on plane positioning alone. Next, you can only rely on yourself. 』

Ahead, the headlights could not be completely broken, as if an endless dark tunnel, was rapidly retreating in front of Sousuke Araki.

"Don't worry, my intuition tells me that the red kappa is getting closer to me..."

When he joined the bosozoku a few years ago, he never thought that he would "legally drag racing" at a high speed of more than 200KM in the empty Tokyo subway tunnel where the subway was out of service and no cars.

The total mileage of the rail transit in the Tokyo metropolitan area exceeds 2,500 kilometers, and the total mileage of the 23 districts in Tokyo alone is more than 1,000 kilometers.

The subway map is composed of more than 50 dense lines such as subway, light rail, Shinkansen and short-distance connection lines. The colors used to mark different lines are not enough, not to mention that different lines are intertwined and intricate under the ground. It can be described as the world's number one "underground labyrinth".

"Monkey? Dog? No, it's a ghost..."

Just when Sousuke Araki let go of his thoughts and followed his intuition, a huge ghostly body that looked like a monkey or a dog began to appear continuously under the snow-white headlights.

"They fought here, and they lost completely... Is it an internal fight, or are there other spirit removers here?"

Under the galloping wheels, these ghosts scattered along the railroad track, dying in death, were directly crushed into a white ground.

"Shh!!"

Suddenly, Araki Sosuke lowered his body, tilted the rear of the car, and stopped steadily in a standard "front wheel emergency brake" posture.

"It seems that the train started to take an unusual path from here."

On the side wall of the tunnel not far ahead, there is a hideous hole full of spiral cracks.

It seems that there is a giant drill truck that once "forcibly passed" here.

Under the headlights, half of the headless horse's body, which had been cut off at the waist, was lying in the tunnel exuding a fresh earthy smell.

Further back, in the scorched black ground and the dust piled up into hillocks, a one-eyed ghost head with long hair fluttering and a beard is struggling to wriggle out with its chin.

"Is this...a ghost?"

On that gray-faced, extremely miserable ghost head, there was a faint gray-white aura burning.

"help me…"

Sensing the sudden light, the ghost head, which looks like a "automatic sweeping and dragging sweeping robot", uttered an extremely weak cry: "I am enshrined at the Harima Hioka Shrine...the **** of the night...help me, I can give it to you, Wealth, power and long life..."

"It is true that there used to be a Hioka Shrine in Binku County, which enshrined a **** named 'Night Walk', but it was destroyed in the war..."

Hou Hai Lu Dou at the other end quickly found out the origin of this strange head: "According to records, the local residents will practice strict fasting during the 'Jilong Festival'. The head horse's 'Night God' took off its head. 』

"Tell me first, what happened down here?"

Araki Sousuke asked in a low voice after walking up to the one-eyed ghost with only a head left and who might perish at any time.

"The monster... is the monster that can't be killed..."

His questioning seemed to remind this ghost head of something terrible, and his already ferocious face wrinkled into a ball: "He sucked my blood... stole my original power!!"

"What unkillable monster? Does it have a name, and what are its characteristics?"

"No, don't...my existence...I can't sustain it...I don't want to disappear..."

Before finishing speaking, the human head suddenly slammed its chin to the ground, jumped up high, opened its ferocious mouth and bit down on Araki Sousuke fiercely: "Dedicate your faith and flesh and blood to Master Yaxing!"

"Crack."

In the next second, the huge human head was directly blasted into a ball of light spots in mid-air by Araki Sosuke's sandbag fist.

"Tsk, wasting my time."

Turning back and stepping on the warrior of the Warring States Period, Sousuke Araki rushed into the dark tunnel without hesitation...

"What is the structure of that train? Is there really a big drill on the front of the train?" Let it run around the ground a few more times, I'm afraid the whole of Tokyo will collapse...』

As the locomotive deepened, the inside of the tunnel filled with fresh earth, nicks like blades, as well as broken concrete, twisted steel bars, broken pipes and wires, etc., kept appearing in front of the two of them.

"Hey, is this a ghost slaughterhouse? Tsk tsk, just thinking about the 'finishing work' after that makes one's scalp tingle...』

But what makes the back of Houhailudou behind the camera feel chills is that more and more ghost wreckages are piled up along the tunnel...

Seeming to be cut by some sharp object, these ghosts like monkeys and horses were scattered in the tunnel in pieces, and the expressions on their faces were condensed with incomparable panic, fear and unwillingness.

Judging from the state of resentment that has not completely dissipated, it should still be "freshly baked".

"No, rather than 'slaughterhouse', I think 'bacon shop' is more appropriate to describe it?" 』

What's even more weird is that these remnants shriveled and shrunk unnaturally like mummified corpses, and there was not even a drop of "liquid" suspected of blood left on the ground or walls.

"Please, don't use this 'too appropriate' metaphor, I'm already turning my stomach... What I'm more curious about is who, or what, is killing these ghosts? 』

"As long as you follow along all the way, won't you have the answer? 』

These existences that could have wreaked havoc in the world and turned Tokyo upside down turned into "sashimi~lightnovelpub.net~ that someone cooked randomly with a knife, and silently disappeared in this unknown tunnel.

All this in front of him made Sousuke Araki feel as if he was running on an animal road that would never reincarnate.

After traveling back and forth between the dark tunnel and the subway tunnel for a few minutes, Sousuke Araki drove out of a hole and came to the bottom of a platform.

『Pilot, confirm the location for me. 』

The tunnel "illegally dug" by the black train connects countless intricate subway lines, making people feel like they are in an endless maze, and they can only tell the direction with the beast-like intuition in their hearts.

『Received, according to the location, you are currently at Hibiya Station on the Chiyoda Line. 』

"What, I actually made it to Hibiya Station?" 』

Looking around at the empty and deserted platform, Araki Sousuke turned the car decisively, and continued to follow the increasingly strong intuition, moving forward along the track: "That **** train digging tunnels everywhere thought he was some kind of mutated earthworm. Do you want to hollow out the hollowed out Tokyo underground again? 』

The Chiyoda Line was originally a subway line parallel to the east side of the Yamanote Line, but it was connected by this train in an authentic way.
