When a certain troublesome little girl—the "little ghost in red"—subdued the terrifying boss of the haunted domain, the ghost bride, and left Wu Yong, an agent of the central Paranormal Control Bureau, a way to subdue her, he had been filled with doubt and uncertainty. In the end, though, he did as she had told him.
And so!
The next morning, as the Netherworld train slowly pulled into a subway station and its doors opened, six living people—including Wu Yong, a high school student, and a middle-aged woman—hurriedly rushed out.
"!!"
"Stop! Nobody run off!"
The moment they stepped out, the high school student in his uniform tried to rush away. Wu Yong quickly grabbed him.
"Are you crazy?"
"Even during the day, this place underground isn't safe!"
"Just look..."
As he warned the high school student, Wu Yong gestured over his shoulder toward the other four, who also seemed eager to run out of the station. At the same time, he carefully watched their surroundings, staying on guard.
Soon!
At Wu Yong's warning, the others forced themselves to stay calm and look around carefully. They really did notice all kinds of strange things.
For example...
Not long after they had all stepped off the train and onto the floor of the Netherworld subway's waiting hall, a damp, chilly air blew straight toward them, as if some unseen presence had instantly fixed its gaze on them.
What's more, the already dim lights in their area began flickering, as though they might go out at any moment.
Whether they were being targeted was impossible to say.
Then there were the shadows beneath the lights. Some twisted and slithered furtively, stretching across the floor into long, ghostly shapes. It was as if they were spying on the group and whispering about them.
