Chapter 10: Strange Things on the Subway

There have always been two strange places in Beijing that are rumored to have the most supernatural events. One is the Forbidden City, and the second is the subway stations in Beijing. There used to be a very popular online novel called "The Legend of Gujingguan", in which the author used heavy words to describe the supernatural events in the Forbidden City, which can be called a masterpiece of a generation.
In addition to the Forbidden City, the subway station is also a more interesting place. The most popular rumor is that after eleven o'clock, the last car of the Beijing subway will leave. The purpose is to transport the wandering ghosts underground. At this time, ordinary people are not allowed to step into the subway station, otherwise they may be haunted by ghosts.
This is the mystery of the last train of the Beijing Metro. It is said that when the subway was being built, the progress of many lines was not smooth. Either the workers had accidents or the project was in danger, and the problems were often not resolved. The people who were working on the project said that this was because when they were digging the subway lines underground, they dug up corpses or encountered ancient tombs. Others said that the project touched the dragon vein under the capital. In short, there are many theories, but there is only one result: the Beijing Metro will be haunted after 11 o'clock, and all kinds of supernatural events will occur frequently.
Later it was said that a Taoist priest and a magician were invited to take a look, and then a rule was set that after midnight every night the subway car would run empty to transport the wandering ghosts underground, and it was announced to the public that the line would be debugged after a day of operation.
Anyway, from then on, all subway stations closed at 11 o'clock and no guests were allowed to enter. That day, Wang Qing went in early and ended up sleeping in the toilet. The staff didn't notice and let him get on the last train.

After Wang Qing told Wang Jingzhe about his story, he wiped his tears and said in shock: "I have searched for many methods on the Internet but none of them worked. I don't know anyone who knows Taoism, so I waited here every day hoping to meet someone who knows how to help me. I didn't expect to meet you, Master... This is fate."
The appearance of Wang Jingzhe made Wang Qing feel like he had grabbed a life-saving straw. He was from Liaoyang. When the Japanese invaded, a knife seller came to the village. The village chief asked when the Japanese could be driven away. Wang Jingzhe sold a kitchen knife on credit to the village chief and told him that he would come back to collect the money after the Japanese were gone five years later.
The village chief at that time was Wang Qing's grandfather. The Japanese left in August of 1944 and 1945, and at the end of the year, the man who sold knives on credit came to collect money. Wang Qing had heard stories about the man who sold knives on credit more than once when he was a child, so he knew everything about them. He knew that there were such people among the people who were good at predicting things like yin and yang. He didn't expect that when he was most helpless, he would meet the legendary man who sold knives on credit.
Wang Jingzhe looked at the time and saw it was just past seven o'clock. He said, "I'll go down with you tonight and see what's going on. Your problem shouldn't be difficult. It's just that you're being haunted ."
Wang Qing breathed a sigh of relief and quickly pulled his arm and said, "Thank you, thank you."
"Hmm..." Wang Jingzhe glanced at the other person.
After a while, Wang Qing felt a little frightened by his gaze. There seemed to be many meanings in that look, including aggression, inquiry, and a little bit of desire.
Wang Qing immediately clamped his crotch and asked in a low voice: "I have already paid you, sir, you can't want something else, this is not okay!"
"..." Wang Jingzhe said coldly: "Isn't it time to eat at this time?"
"Well!"
In the restaurant next to the subway station, Wang Jingzhe and Wang Qing ordered a few dishes. Perhaps with the intention of pleasing this gentleman and hoping that he would be grateful for the favor, the dishes Wang Qing ordered were relatively hard, consisting of meat dishes with soup.
Wang Jingzhe nodded in satisfaction, but had no intention of picking up his chopsticks. Wang Qing on the opposite side asked cautiously: "Sir, if it doesn't suit your taste, I'll order two more. Take a look, what else do you want to eat?"
Wang Jingzhe stroked his chin and said, "Is there something missing?"
"What's the difference?"
"It's a waste to have food but no wine," Wang Jingzhe said reservedly.
"Boss, two bottles of beer."
"How about a dozen? That way you don't have to ask for more later, which is a hassle."

Wang Qing was immediately confused and asked in a panic, "Sir, aren't you afraid of drinking too much and then..."
"It's okay, it's okay, drink some wine to warm yourself up and build up your courage." Wang Jingzhe waved his hand and said indifferently: "You may not understand it very well. Have you heard the saying that wine makes cowards brave? In fact, you can also understand this sentence as, after drinking, you are braver and your yang energy is strong, so you may not be afraid of ghosts. Let's put it this way, ghosts are actually bullies, just like humans. When you are tougher than him, he may be the one to be scared, do you understand?"
"It seems to make sense?" Wang Qing thought for a while and said puzzledly: "But I was drunk that day and ran into an evil spirit."
Wang Jingzhe said seriously: "Then I still didn't drink enough..."
To be honest, Wang Qing was about to back off at this point, because he felt that this master seemed a little unreliable. They were about to catch ghosts, so why was he still drinking and drinking more?
In fact, what Wang Jingzhe said just now was all nonsense. He just felt that it was still early before eleven o'clock and they should have a drink to kill time. Otherwise, wouldn't it be awkward for the two of them to sit face to face?
After drinking a few bottles of wine, Wang Jingzhe's face became a little red. The image of him biting the cigarette butt and holding the wine glass made Wang Qing's heart beat fast. In the end, he could only comfort himself with the words "the actions of masters are always unfathomable."
At ten o'clock, Wang Jingzhe burped and called Wang Qing to get up. He left his bag in the restaurant and told the boss to come and pick it up the next day. After they came out, they went straight to the subway station. After passing the security check, they got on the subway directly. At this time, there were fewer people in the carriage.
"I'll take a nap first. Let's take this bus. It goes back and forth, right? Call me on time at 11 o'clock." Wang Jingzhe said to Wang Qing and without waiting for his answer, he leaned against the railing with his arms folded and dozed off.
The subway started running with a "bang, bang" sound, which did not disturb Wang Jingzhe's sleep at all. Wang Qing sat next to him with a dull look in his eyes, his heart tense. Maybe it was a psychological reason, he felt cold sweats as soon as he entered the subway.
Time passed by little by little, and the number of people in the carriage gradually decreased. After this subway went past, it would be the last one when it came back.
When it was approaching eleven o'clock, Wang Qing stared at the time on his mobile phone nervously. The last subway was empty at this time. The security officer on the platform began to patrol the carriage to see if there were any passengers left behind. At this time, Wang Jingzhe suddenly opened his eyes, grabbed Wang Qing and hid under the seat.
"Ding" when the car door closed, the subway started moving and the two people crawled out from under the seats.
