I'm a ghost story witch in Tokyo

Chapter 11 11. The Empty Station
Rui Ji was so frightened that he almost pulled out his sword to block in front of him, and then threw a few smoke and tear gas runes.

The old man who appeared inexplicably was hunched, about 70 years old, his skin was wrinkled like tree bark, and an arm like dry wood was exposed under the cuff of the chef's uniform with three-quarter sleeves.

A pair of bloodshot cloudy eyeballs rolled in the sunken eye sockets, and there was an uncomfortable feeling of being licked by a snake letter when stared at.It seems that in the next second, the two eyeballs will roll to the ground, leaving two bloody holes in the original place.

He was carrying a large black plastic bag in both hands. The bag was stuffed so full that some liquid seeped out from the gaps in the plastic bag and landed on the floor drop by drop.

A dark liquid with a viscous texture and a strong, pungent rusty smell.

"Damn it."

Using the common sense of this world to infer, I must have "encountered" a ghost story.When encountering ghost stories that ask about your will, it is best not to look at them, listen to them, or answer them. Once you answer them, you will be killed or assimilated by the ghost stories and become part of the ghost stories.

She was just going out to find her younger sister to go home, but just after she made an emergency landing, she encountered a strange talk, so she might have troubles in the future.

Rui Ji took out a rune, didn't bother to see which one it was, dropped it and ran away.The condition for the rune to activate is to touch the ground, a burst of blue light lights up, and a circular magic circle with a radius of three meters appears on the ground, followed by an extremely dazzling white light.

The area covered by the magic circle faded under the influence of strong light, and the runes had a strong interference effect on vision, lasting for a full minute.

1 minute is enough time for Rui Ji to leave the weird izakaya for a long distance. The broom is broken, so she can only run with all her strength and leave this ghost place first.

The witch's physical fitness is stronger than that of ordinary people, and she runs very easily. She has run for more than two kilometers without panting, just sweating a little.

The izakaya, probably the ghost story, was left far behind, and there was no trace of it anymore, so Rui Ji slowed down.

She took out her phone first, and sent a few messages to Jingliu using Link, a popular social software among witches.The bottom right corner of the message is always "unread", and there is no reply.

The most worrying thing is no reply, Rui Ji tried to call Jingliu again.

"The user you dialed is out of service area, please try again later..."

On the other end of the phone was a businesslike female voice with no emotion at first, and then there was a piercing electric sound, and the eardrum was hit by the sound wave, and the pain was so painful that it was almost torn apart.

Rui Ji's head began to swell and ache, and he experienced severe dizziness.The dizziness lasted a little long, and she didn't dare to relax her vigilance, so she could only move forward by holding on to the walls of the houses on both sides.

When he came back to his senses, he was already standing at the entrance of Hyakumincho [-]-chome Station in Shinjuku District.

The operator of this station is the state-run East Japan Railway Company, or JR East for short.By taking this tram, you can transfer to the most famous Yamanote Line in Japan at the nearest station, and go directly to where your sister is.

It is very inconvenient to buy tickets temporarily. Ruiji uses a stored-value ticket. When entering the gate, show the barcode of your mobile phone to scan, enter the station and wait for the bus, and then scan it again when you get off the bus and exit the station, and the corresponding money will be deducted, eliminating the need to use paper Trouble with tickets.

Generally speaking, witches take Japanese public transportation either because they want to experience life, or because the broom is broken.Rui Ji belongs to the latter, only feeling very helpless.

To repair the broom, you need to go to a repair shop in Shibuya, and find a repairer witch who knows how to repair old brooms, and the age should not be too young.Contemporary young repairer witches have only learned how to repair new models of brooms. The old models that have been eliminated in the past are troublesome to repair and even more troublesome to learn, and gradually fade out of their field of vision.

Rui Ji couldn't afford new ones, so she kept using the old things left by her two mothers.

It's definitely too late to find a repair shop now, so it's better to join Jingliu first.

"I hope he's okay... This child is really worrying."

After checking the ticket with her mobile phone, she passed through the silver metal gate. Although she did not receive a reminder that the deduction was successful, she thought that the gate might be malfunctioning.Although the gates of Japanese railways are done carefully and carefully, there is no guarantee that there will be no problems.

A few social animal witches who had just got off work scanned the barcodes in front of the gates with exhausted faces, followed her into the station, and took the descending elevator to the waiting platform.

The platforms of Japanese trams are divided into island type and side type. The platform of this station adopts an island structure, located in the center of the two rails extending forward, like an isolated island surrounded by the sea.

There are very few people waiting for the bus today, only a few.

The witch in business attire holds a briefcase, stares down at the phone, sits or stands, focusing on the small screen without saying a word, her face is pale, as if a thick layer of wall dust has been applied, lifeless .

It's not Rui Ji's style to be nosy, and she doesn't bother to ask others why they don't ride a broom to and from get off work and come to the tram stop to wait for the bus.It's easy to turn off talking to a stranger, unless the other person is also a chatty person.

It was only 9:30 in the evening, and the station was as deserted as at one or two o'clock in the middle of the night. No new passengers came in by elevator, and the opposite platform was also empty.

The bloody moonlight shrouded the platform in a silent and chilling atmosphere. When Rui Ji turned her head, she found that the social animal witches who had lowered their heads to play with their mobile phones just now had disappeared, and she was the only one left waiting for the train on the entire platform.

There is clearly no tram on the other side of the platform, and there is no arrival announcement at the tram station to remind passengers to get on the train.Where did those witches go, she had no idea at all, and she didn't even hear the sound of walking footsteps.

Maybe they took a different line.The tram lines in Japan are intricate, and you can change them if you can't wait for the train, and you don't have to stick to one line.

Rui Ji took out a gray hoodie jacket from his backpack and put it on, but felt that it was not enough, so he immediately pulled the zipper to the throat, and put his hands in his pockets.

The temperature on the station platform was surprisingly low, and it was impossible for an open platform to have air-conditioning. This chill came from nowhere.Red is supposed to be a warm color, but the blood moon not only did not bring any warmth, but also kept plundering body temperature.

Sleeping here one night could freeze to death.

The stop sign with "Okubo" written on it flickered on and off, and the dim light tube made a squeaky noise, flickered violently for a few times, then went out, and never came on again.

A roar came from the railway track on the left, and a silver and green steel dragon galloped towards the platform from the red and black night, with a flat front and large JR printed on the side.

The tram traveled a certain distance, and the speed gradually decreased.The tram doors are double-opening and automatically open to both sides after parking.Rui Ji got on the bus from the nearest door, and found a seat at random.

The compartment was also empty, except for her as a passenger.

　Thanks to the big guys who voted for me recently, thank you very much for your support.
