"Eh? Eh? How did we suddenly get pulled into the game?"

Fujiwara Chika jumped in surprise and quickly grabbed Amamiya Natsuki's sleeve, nervously looking around: "Where's Kaguya-chan? Why isn't she with us?"

"It seems we triggered a special instance dungeon. Kaguya-san didn't enter the game."

Amamiya Natsuki spoke in a low voice while calmly observing his surroundings, the slight drowsiness he had felt earlier completely gone.

From a crowded subway to an empty, desolate environment, it happened in the blink of an eye.

The air was cold.

The light was pale.

The only sounds in the air were the humming of the subway and the sparse number of passengers.

Most passengers had their heads bowed, their skin pale, and their expressions stiff, as if they hadn't noticed the change in environment… They were clearly all Spirit passengers.

On the floor lay the corpse of a middle-aged office worker, surrounded by bloodstains from a struggle, a truly shocking sight.

"I heard it too, it said 'Midnight Subway'… What the heck, it's not even eight o'clock yet," Fujiwara Chika couldn't help but whisper her complaint. "How is it 'Midnight Subway' already?!"

"Um, excuse me, are you players too?"

A girl in a school uniform cautiously walked over and asked in a low voice.

Amamiya Natsuki looked at the girl, confirmed her dark circles, and indeed, she was a player.

"We are players." Fujiwara Chika quickly nodded. "Were you also suddenly pulled into the game?"

"…What do you mean?"

"Just, sitting on the subway, and suddenly got pulled into the game."

"Sorry, I wasn't." The girl's tone was puzzled. "I was just at home doing my homework…"

"Eh?" Fujiwara Chika froze, then looked up at Amamiya Natsuki. "What's going on?"

Amamiya Natsuki pondered for two seconds and quickly guessed the truth:

"Others have mandatory quests; only the two of us are the unlucky ones who took the subway and accidentally entered the game."

Only a day or two had passed since the last game; there was no reason to be chosen again. It could only be bad luck!

Humans have a tendency to huddle together for warmth. Before long, two more players walked over.

One of the girls had waist-length blonde hair, a tall figure, and was well-developed. She wore a strange black outfit with a black maid headdress, a black pet collar around her neck, and seemed to have a tongue piercing. All in all, she was dressed as a standard Hot Girl, and she introduced herself gracefully:

"Hello everyone, I'm Kitagawa Marin. I've experienced two games, so please bear with me."

She looked like a super Hot Girl, but unexpectedly, she was polite.

"Excuse me, why are you wearing this kind of clothing?" Fujiwara Chika asked curiously. "Is it a very powerful item?"

"Sorry, it's not an item; it's clothes I made myself." Kitagawa Marin coughed twice, a slightly troubled expression on her face. "It's the costume of a game character I really like. I suddenly received the game notification just now, with only ten seconds of preparation time, so I didn't have time to change."

"So, ten seconds of preparation time is really too short." Fujiwara Chika couldn't help but nod. "What if everyone gets summoned while bathing? They'll be exposed."

"Um, it seems only our consciousness enters the game, not our bodies," another girl said softly. "So even if you're bathing, it doesn't matter; you'll automatically appear in the clothes you usually wear."

Amamiya Natsuki looked at the speaking girl upon hearing this, thinking, 'You know this so clearly, could it be from your personal experience?'

The last player was an otaku with glasses and clearly unkempt hair, holding a swimsuit figurine of Alice from Sword Art Online.

"My name is Tomoya Aki. I just finished my part-time job and returned home, and I was organizing my figurines when I was chosen by the game."

The few of them briefly exchanged information and found that they had all cleared two games, yet still hadn't seen any veterans.

The possibility that the horror game had just begun increased.

Of course, it didn't rule out someone deliberately withholding information.

"The mission given by the game is to ensure we survive until the subway reaches the Terminal." Kitagawa Marin covered her chest with her right hand to conceal her cleavage. There was no helping it; this Hot Girl's figure was simply too good, enough to beat at least ten Kaguya-san. "…What about you guys?"

"Me too."

The boy named Tomoya Aki quickly nodded.

"Terminus…" Fujiwara Chika pursed her pink lips and thought, "I think it's Shinjuku Station?"

"Not anymore."

Amamiya Natsuki pointed to the indicator light on the subway.

Several players looked up and saw the subway indicator light flashing red, covered in bloodstains. Some station names had even turned into garbled code, with only the Terminus name remarkably clear.

Kisaragi Station.

"Ki-Kisaragi Station?!"

Tomoya Aki was a bit flustered.

As one of the top ten modern horror urban legends, Kisaragi Station was known to everyone, its fame surpassing that of The Slit-Mouthed Woman and Hanako of the Toilet.

Legend has it that once someone gets off at Kisaragi Station, they will forever remain there, unable to return to the real world.

Seeing Kisaragi Station, everyone became nervous. After all, they were just newbies with not much game experience, completely unable to remain calm.

"Natsuki-kun, what should we do now?"

Fujiwara Chika couldn't help but ask nervously.

The combined technique of 'sweeping away evil and striking down darkness' was powerful, but it needed a target. Now, they had no idea where Don was.

Amamiya Natsuki pondered:

"Since it's a game, there must be a way to clear it. We can't just sit here and wait; we need to take the initiative and search for clues."

The proposal quickly received unanimous approval.

"There are emergency brake buttons on the subway," the Blonde Hot Girl, Kitagawa, suggested. "Should we try the emergency brake?"

Amamiya Natsuki nodded: "We can try."

A moment later.

"It's no use." Kitagawa Marin's expression was disappointed. "The game is indeed not that simple."

"Um, how about everyone goes to check the driver's cab?" another player girl suggested. "The driver's cab should have a mechanical brake."

"Let's go and take a look."

Several players gathered together, carefully stepping around the office worker's corpse lying in the middle of the subway, and walked towards the subway driver's cab.

Upon entering another carriage, the subway instantly became empty; there were no other players or Spirit s, only messy blood handprints on the windows and increasingly pale, dim lights.

After walking for a long time, Fujiwara Chika's eyes suddenly lit up, "It looks like someone is ahead!"

Amamiya Natsuki squinted: "You're mistaken; it's not a person."

Upon closer inspection, the players immediately panicked.

"What's going on?"

"Did we walk back again?"

The lights and passengers that appeared before the players were precisely those of the carriage they had just left. The middle-aged office worker's corpse lay on the ground, his briefcase scattered beside him, not even having moved from its position.

"This is a subway," Tomoya Aki said in disbelief. "We were clearly going forward all this time; how could we have walked back?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a low-headed Spirit woman suddenly reached out and grabbed Tomoya Aki's wrist. Then, a hoarse voice followed:

"…Pervert, you actually groped me!"
