As a result, until the two arrived at Xinyue Road Station, Chen Wei still did not leave.
At almost every stop, Zhou Yu would declare that he was able to walk independently and did not need the other party to continue accompanying him. And Chen Wei will continue to express his determination not to leave with an impeccable polite smile, saying replies such as "I'm here anyway" and "I've already spent the money anyway".
Finally, Zhou Yu, who couldn't bear it any longer, finally asked, "Don't you have anything more important to do?"
"Hmm... How should I put it? Saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. It is more urgent than studying."
"……Are you serious?"
"I'm kidding. But I really don't want accidents to happen to members of the club. Even if it's not during club activities, I still have to fulfill my responsibilities as a temporary president."
"Aren't you just trying to get points for social practice?"
"That's right. So before I graduate, the club cannot be banned due to insufficient members. If you quit the club for any reason, you will be in trouble."
Zhou Yu was suddenly speechless. At this time, the two of them had already passed Crescent Road Station. Seeing that there was no point in delaying any longer, he was finally ready to get off. Naturally, Chen Wei also stood up after him and helped him out of the train car.
"Classmate Zhou, this area is not in the same direction as your home. Why are you coming to such a remote place?"
"Can't you guess?"
It was six o'clock in the afternoon, and apart from them, there was no sign of any service personnel in the station. With Chen Wei's support, Zhou Yu slowly walked to the edge of the waiting area. I don't know whether it was an accident or a matter of course, but this location was designed to be a blind spot for surveillance.
Chen Wei seemed to understand his plan.
"When you stayed up all night before, you weren't always sightseeing in the subway tunnels, were you?"
"No, this is the first time."
Seeing Chen Wei's plan to say something else, Zhou Yu frowned impatiently: "Can you get down?"
"In principle, I shouldn't hinder your personal freedom, but I still want to ask, are there any dangerous things in the tunnel?"
"What kind of danger do you mean?"
"All kinds of things. Things like murderers, man-eating bugs, fire-breathing dragons. I'll give you my life first. I can still use it just by talking, but I'm not very sure about doing it. With us It is best not for teams like the old, weak, sick and disabled to challenge missions that require force."
"...You don't need to do anything. There is just a hotel down there. According to what you said, it should be rebuilt from an old air defense shelter."
Seeing that Chen Wei seemed to be ready to continue asking, Zhou Yu had completely lost his patience. He held on to the wall and carefully slid down from the platform onto the rails. Chen Wei had to follow him down and help him to the edge of the tunnel away from the railway tracks.
"Go that way." He pointed to the southwest where the dormitory road was.
Chen Wei supported his right arm, while his left arm was supported by the cave wall. As a result, although the pain in the knee cannot be alleviated, it can barely support walking.
The two of them moved forward slowly, and occasionally a train would roar by. At such a moment, Chen Wei stopped cautiously, supported him and stood against the wall, and waited for the wind noise caused by the subway to pass before continuing to move forward slowly. Although he felt that such caution was unnecessary, Zhou Yu did not object.
After walking in the sluggish mud for more than half an hour, the tunnel in front of me gradually glowed with blood-red light. After seeing the form of the demon soil, Chen Wei immediately stopped.
"……That is?"
"Don't worry, it's just underground minerals."
Zhou Yu replied without sincerity. He didn't know if there really were minerals that emitted blood-red light in the world, but Chen Wei, a liberal arts student, probably couldn't tell immediately.
Sure enough, Chen Wei did not raise any objection, but just adjusted the positions of the two of them and turned himself to the side closer to the cave wall. After walking for about ten minutes, a figure vaguely appeared in front of him. Zhou Yu vaguely felt that the other party looked familiar. He carefully identified it for a while, and it seemed that he was the man he had seen the last time he came here. His bed was right next to the green-haired girl. Because there was a suit hanging above the bed, he looked like someone with a serious job, so Zhou Yu was particularly impressed.
The man standing in the tunnel was holding a cigarette and trying to light it with a lighter. This must have been the purpose of him running into the tunnel alone. After noticing the two people approaching from a distance, he hurriedly put away the cigarette, looking very guilty for some reason.
"You...you were last time..."
When he saw Zhou Yu, he stammered and shouted, but he couldn't speak clearly in the end. Not wanting to waste time on the other party, Zhou Yu directed Chen Wei to bypass him and walk into the passage behind him. The red and white rotating lamp still stood in the center of the empty room, emitting a strange pink light. After seeing this scene, Zhou Yu clearly felt that Chen Wei next to him was laughing silently.
"Do you think it's funny?"
"Well, it's quite unexpected. Although I think it's unlikely, this isn't some illegal health center, right?"
"Yes, I broke my foot on purpose yesterday just to invite you over to experience the service."
Being ridiculed by Zhou Yu, Chen Wei just shrugged indifferently and said: "It's just a joke, don't be so angry, right? Classmate Zhou, do you know where the revolving light in front of the barber shop came from? In medieval Europe, because of the church, Clergy were prohibited from doing unclean things, and the role of surgeons was usually also performed by barbers. Of course, the understanding of medicine and surgery at that time was very superficial, and it was still at the level of bloodletting, so there was no need for anything special. Profound knowledge. After completing the bloodletting operation, they hung the blood-stained bandages on the top of the pillar to dry. The bandages would be blown around the pillar by the wind. This was the prototype of the revolving lamp. Later, the blue stripes represented haircuts, For functions such as shaving, the red stripe means that the shop can perform surgery on people. Although many shops do both businesses, there are also some that only do one of them."
He pointed to the pillar in front of the two of them and said in a serious tone: "The blue part of this lamp is specially covered with red tape, perhaps to emphasize the attributes of the shop owner as a surgeon."
"Really? Then, Mr. Chen, let me ask you again, what does this unique pink light symbolize?"
"I don't know about this," Chen Wei said. "Maybe it symbolizes that the lamp itself was stolen from a less healthy place."
"Are you familiar with that kind of place?"
"Of course not. I don't have any weird hobby of wandering at night. Please, classmate Zhou, you should know the way around this place better than me."
Zhou Yu snorted lukewarmly and did not continue to ask further. They passed through the room with the revolving lights and entered the interior of the underground hotel that looked like a train box. Soon, bald Brother Dan stood in front of them. Facing the overwhelming size advantage of the blocker, Chen Wei clearly showed his intention to retreat. He smiled bitterly and said to Zhou Yu, "We've agreed that we don't have to do anything, right?"
"...You are really a coward."
Although he habitually sarcasticly said something to the other party, Zhou Yu had no real intention to use force. He said to Brother Dan: "I want to see Boss Yu."
Brother Dan didn't seem surprised at all by his request. He was still blocking there firmly, staring at Chen Wei and saying, "You go in, he can't."
"I'm just a human crutch. There's no need to care about me so much, right? I promise not to reveal a word about what's going on here."
Brother Dan said unmoved: "You can't go in."
Hearing his determination, Zhou Yu retracted the arm on Chen Wei's shoulders.
"Classmate Chen, just wait here. I'll just go and have a few words with the owner here."
Chen Wei frowned, seeming to disagree with his decision. Zhou Yu glanced at him and said, "Can you beat this bald man?"
"Classmate Zhou, it's too rude for you to call someone bald in front of him. But unfortunately, if I fight him, I will definitely be unable to fight back... So I'd better ask you to come out this morning, so that I can feel relieved as soon as possible."
"What if I don't get out in the end?"
"Then I have no choice but to run to a place with a signal and call the police. I hope you have good luck in martial arts and can support yourself until the police arrive - I am very confident in my eloquence. I will be able to convince them that there is someone here within two hours. Live." Chen Wei said sincerely.
Zhou Yu twitched the corners of his mouth twice, and followed Brother Dan, who had a similarly twisted expression, into the depths of the hotel without looking back.
