The people on the train were startled by the strange voice in their heads. The crowd became struck with fear and surprise.

“What was that noise?”

“Yea, I heard it as well. It sounded as if it was in my head.”

“It was calling out for Chen Beixuan. Who is Chen Beixuan? Do we have a Chen Beixuan among us?”

People murmured to each other perplexedly. They wondered why the voice seemed right in their heads but everyone on the train seemed to have heard it.

Soon, someone’s panicked scream shot throughout the train.

They noticed the light outside the windows dimmed as if the night had suddenly dawned upon them. Why did the sky suddenly become so dark while it was still noon?

“s.h.i.+t! Is it some kind of supernatural phenomenon?”

“Are we on The Midnight Meat Train?”

“Mom, I want my mom.”

The train was suddenly filled with a cacophony of Kids’ crying, women’s screaming, and men’s nervous pep talk that verged on a mental break down. The dim light became the pa.s.senger’s only defense against the darkness outside. Without it, the complete darkness would break these pa.s.senger’s minds one nerve at a time.

Ai Jinqi was terrified by the turn of events. She grabbed hold of Chen Fan’s arm as her body trembled uncontrollably. She was raised in a wealthy family and never had seen anything remotely close to this. Ren Hao’s legs already gave out and brought him down to the floor.

Even during this moment of distress, Ai Jinqi didn’t forget about Chen Fan. She held tightly onto him and managed to ask him with as much calm as she could muster.

“How did that voice know your name? Is it coming after you? Don’t leave us, we have a lot of living people here, ghosts should be afraid of us.”

Chen Fan cracked a smile after seeing the girl’s poor attempt to remain calm. “Don’t worry, it is likely just a bunch of lost souls and minor spirits.”

Chen Fan’s confidence smoothed Ai Jinqi’s nerves. However, Ren Hao crawled toward Chen Fan like a scared dog. He screamed as he ran toward Chen Fan.

“He is Chen Beixuan! Those Oni are after him. Don’t harm us!”

People scurried away from Chen Fan as soon as they heard Ren Hao’s words. Many looked at Chen Fan with shock and disbelief as if Chen Fan was some kind of a monster.

Tears welled in Ai Jinqi’s eyes as she saw the other tourists’ reactions. She gave Ren Hao a glare which made the young man blush. However, the hint of embarra.s.sment on Ren Hao’s face quickly evaporated. His own life was at stake now and he shouldn’t feel bad for doing what was best for him.

Suddenly a jarring shriek came up from outside. Everyone peered through the windows and saw a dark shadowy figure floating in the air. Two s.h.i.+ning round eyes stared back at the pa.s.sengers like two pools of molten iron.

The sight of the ghastly shape turned people into a bundle of nerves. They were ordinary people and had never seen anything like this.

Red Sparrow who had sat opposite of Chen Fan glared at the young man.

“He was able to send his voice through soul energy, so whoever he is, he is either Immortal State or another Demon G.o.d from j.a.pan.”

“I wager it’s the so-called Demon G.o.d. I wonder how many of them are out there.”

“Maybe we should go take a look.” Chen Fan said readily and rose to his feet under everyone’s watchful eyes.

“What is he going to do? Is he going to meet those Demons out there?”

Everyone gave Chen Fan a long stare with complicated feelings. Ai Jinqi squeezed his hand and was not willing to let go. Chen Fan smiled slightly and then said, almost like an older brother to a younger sister; “Don’t be afraid, I will catch these little demons for you.”

Everyone thought Chen Fan was making a sick joke and even Ai Jinqi replied with a cringing smile that verged on crying. She watched as Chen Fan jumped up from the ground as a beam of azure light shot through the ceiling of the train cart. Then Red Sparrow also sprung into action and disappeared behind the hole on the ceiling by turning herself into a trail of fire.

Everyone was shocked by the incredible sight.

“Are they immortals from the legends?”

Someone stammered.

Ai Jinqi sat motionless, her mind blank.

Memories of her past encounter with Chen Fan suddenly came back to her and she was finally able to put two and two together. She had met Chen Fan at the Susano Shrine and the Susano Shrine was destroyed soon after she had left. Then, she met Chen Fan again under the Tokyo Tower, and right after she exited the park following Chen Fan’s advice, the Tokyo Tower collapsed, allegedly it was the work the aliens.

Ai Jinqi had thought those were mere coincidences, but it suddenly dawned upon her that Chen Fan had caused all of this.

“Who is he? Why does he have such magical power?” Ai Jinqi pondered on.

She conceded that all her presumptions about Chen Fan were wrong. Although she had no clue who Chen Fan was, her instinct told her that the answer was much more shocking even than her wildest imagination.

Ren Hao slumped on the ground, gaping with fear and remorse.

If he knew Chen Fan wielded such unthinkable abilities, he would never throw him under the bus. Now he had p.i.s.sed Chen Fan off and Ren Hao couldn’t bring himself to imagine what would happen to him after he had dealt with the Demons outside.
