Chapter 572 - 571: Meeting the Person You Want to See
The process of cultivating the Sword Embryo was exceedingly lengthy, requiring at least forty-nine days. Wen Wen couldn’t always hide in the Sanctuary, so he took the jar and mooched food and drink from the Baoya City Association.
Far from disliking Wen Wen, Gong Baoding entertained him with great enthusiasm, to the point that his hospitality seemed a bit excessive.
Finally, last night, Gong Baoding revealed his true purpose. He had a tricky case in his hands and wanted Wen Wen to take it over and resolve it.
Wen Wen had freeloaded on food and drink these past few days, reaping many benefits from others, so it didn’t feel right to refuse. Thus, he had no choice but to take on the case, and that’s how he ended up at this subway station.
In the last half-month, many people had reported that there was something strange about the last train of Subway Line 2, but what this strangeness was, everyone who came out from the subway kept their lips sealed.
Some left satisfied, as if they had resolved some inner conflict, others were scared mad and were sent straight to the psychiatric hospital upon exiting, still others changed dramatically after emerging, as if they had become a different person...
Gong Baoding tried to discontinue the last train, but the phenomenon would appear on the second-to-last one. If passengers were not allowed to board the trains, the outcome was the same.
Unless the entire Line 2 was shut down, Gong Baoding had no way to stop the strange occurrences from happening. And even if Line 2 were shut down, there was no guarantee that the anomalies wouldn’t appear on Line 1 or even in places completely unrelated to the subway.
He had personally led a team on an investigation and had sent others to scout, but when he himself came, he encountered nothing and returned unharmed from this train ride.
Yet another Demon Hunter collapsed into a coma after disembarking and seemed to have suffered severe mental trauma.
