Chapter 230 Tracking
With a crackling sound, the entire piece of glass turned into shards and fell down.
She did not stop, stepped on a chair, crossed the chaotic crowd, and smashed all the windows in the carriage one by one. It was still dark outside the window, but it was different from the thick black without a trace of light just now. There was a faint yellow light in the darkness.
The subway had stopped in the tunnel at some point, and the surroundings were very quiet. She could not hear the movement in other carriages.
In the carriage, several crazy people continued to hurt people, while the chaotic and panicked crowd around them was calmer than before, and the oppressive feeling that made their emotions inexplicably intense seemed to disappear all of a sudden.
Afterwards, the injured people hid in the corners, and those who had the strength to spare cooperated with Youxi to tie the crazy people one by one to several handrails, and then temporarily stuffed their mouths with cloth strips to prevent them from continuing to insult and abuse.
After all the mirrors in the carriage were smashed, these crazy people were obviously much easier to deal with.
The chaos ended, and some people finally couldn't help crying, and some took out their mobile phones to call the police.
"How is it, is there a signal?" Someone asked nervously.
"Don't worry, there is a signal, it's connected--" The man immediately began to describe the situation.
Some people opened the doors between the carriages to check other carriages, but found that the other carriages were empty.
"Where are all the people?" Someone leaned out of the window to check, and someone beside him hurriedly grabbed him to stop him. The former suddenly waved and shouted at the light in the distance of the tunnel.
You Xi pulled the man back vigilantly: "Have you never read horror novels about subway tunnels? Don't just stick your head out and shout in a place like this."
The man thought of something, his face turned pale, and he was silent.
But fortunately, the light was not something strange, but a technician who came to check the subway.
Ten minutes ago, this subway was forced to stop in the middle of the tunnel due to a malfunction. The subway driver called for help in time and stopped all subways on this line. At the same time, rescue workers quickly arrived and evacuated the people in other carriages.
The technicians also found it strange. They had just heard the rescuers say that there was no one on the subway. They thought everyone had evacuated and didn't understand why so many people suddenly appeared. Moreover, the windows of this carriage were all broken, and several people were tied up.
The technicians immediately called the rescue team and explained the situation. Someone rushed over. The technicians were stunned for a moment when they saw the other party: "Where are Lao Zhong and the others?"
"They are maintaining order on the platform." The leading man said, and immediately led people into the carriage to check the situation. After checking the conditions of the several kidnapped people, he seemed a little surprised: "Did you subdue them yourselves? Who broke the glass?"
Some people in the carriage nodded, and some shook their heads.
Finally, someone spoke up: "We tied them up together... Oh, there was another person, she was very powerful... She knocked on the glass..."
The person said, trying to find the young girl who had just contributed the main force in the crowd, but he looked twice and couldn't find her.
"Who is the other one?" The rescue team leader asked the others.
The other people also turned around to look for someone, but the girl was not only wearing a hat but also a mask. Not to mention her name, they didn't even know what she looked like, and they didn't remember her voice. They only remembered that she was wrapped in a thin dark down jacket...
Most of the people in the carriage were frightened and had injuries on their bodies. Several of the seriously injured were wailing all the time. Everyone was in pain and fear. At this moment, when they saw the rescuers appear, they were anxious to leave.
The crowd pushed and shoved for a while, and gradually became a little chaotic.
Seeing this, the rescue team leader signaled to the people around him, and several team members immediately began to organize everyone to evacuate, requiring the seriously injured to go first, then the slightly injured and the elderly and children, then the women, and finally the men in better conditions.
The rescue team was divided into several waves, one wave led the way, injected the crazy people, tied them tightly to the stretcher and carried them out.
One wave supported or carried the seriously injured, and the other waves fell in different positions of the team, lighting them up and supporting them from time to time, so that they could pass through this difficult tunnel section.
The rescue captain cut off the tail at the end - but in Youxi's view, it was not so much cutting off the tail as putting everyone in the car into her field of vision.
Youxi, who had quietly squatted on the top of the subway, silently watched the people leaving.
Time was running out, and she didn't have time to think too much at the time, but there were a few things that were certain.
First, it was not a problem with the subway, because the same thing had happened in the hotel bathroom, which meant it was a problem with the mirror or the mirror surface. But there are mirror objects everywhere in the city, and not all people reflected by the mirror objects will be tempted and have their emotions affected, so some specific conditions should be required for it to be triggered.
Second, this is a C-level world, and the difficulty is not high. There are so many novice travelers besides her. Their fighting power is low, so it is impossible for unsolvable and difficult events that are far beyond their capabilities to appear. What
she just did is the only thing that an ordinary novice passenger can do after being trapped. Keep a little lucidity in the temptation, and then smash the source of the temptation.
Fortunately, it succeeded.
After she smashed the car window glass, the voice that had been tempting her heart suddenly weakened by half, so she smashed all the windows afterwards.

Under the subway, after the technicians had entered the carriage to start the maintenance work, You Xi quickly took off her down jacket and changed into a short black thick sweater. She also took off her original baseball cap and replaced it with a thick wool hat, and even changed her mask to a black one.
The situation was urgent just now and other people would not think much about it. Once she was rescued and everyone came back to their senses, they would remember that she had extraordinary strength. This was only her second day in Wukong City. If she didn't want to get into trouble so soon, the best way was to disappear.
But now it seems that it's a good thing that she "disappeared".
This rescue team is a bit strange. They didn't ask why they didn't evacuate just now. When they saw the broken car windows, they didn't ask why they broke the glass, but only asked who broke it. They were not surprised to see people in a crazy state, but were surprised who subdued them.
Compared with the wounded with bloody heads and broken hands, and the attackers in a crazy state, their captain obviously cared more about the people who subdued them.
Youxi looked at the rescue team and passengers in the distance, put away her backpack, crouched down, moved a distance, stopped to look, and then moved again.
Fortunately, the subway station in Wukongcheng is very old, the lights in the waiting area are not bright, and the lights in the tunnel are even dimmer. After the subway reached the end, she landed silently again, still at a long distance, so that she was always in the blind spot of the other party's sight while tracking.
The next platform arrived. Because of a subway malfunction, all Line 2 services were suspended, and a large number of passengers were gathered here. Many people who were not in a hurry were talking while waiting. The public has an endless power of gossip. There were
many people near the platform, and staff members were coming up and down from time to time. Youxi was among them, and he climbed up to the waiting area with swift movements. After a few turns, he disappeared into the crowd.
Outside the subway station, the passengers in the last abandoned carriage were arranged on different cars. The stretcher was lifted onto a white ambulance, and the slightly injured were put on another ambulance. Other uninjured people were also taken to a police minibus, saying that they would go back to record the passing.
Youxi glanced over the trains and found a similar mark at the rear of the trains - a vertical diamond with a horizontal number 8 in the middle, or the symbol of "infinity".
The phone in her inner pocket vibrated. It was the phone of the Endless Train World.
She took it out and saw a new message on the screen.
Congratulations on escaping the influence of the "Mirror World".
Reward: "Mirror World" Immune.
Clues: Mirror World, Dark, "Picture"
The last mark of the clue is the diamond plus the infinite symbol she just found on several trains.

Youxi parked her car in a coffee shop's parking space. Across the street from the intersection was the light gray building that looked like a "tower" that she had seen before - the "Ruoai" Technology Company Building.
Yesterday, she took a taxi and asked the driver to slow down and follow. She found that several cars carrying passengers in abandoned carriages did not go to the hospital, but went to an underground parking lot of an unknown building.
It was not an ambulance or a police car.
This area was not a busy area, and there were not many pedestrians. There were several dilapidated and run-down buildings around. Youxi picked one and hid in a room on the second floor full of construction garbage. She took out a camping folding chair and a telescope and waited until the evening.
After night fell, she finally saw a familiar face on a bus that drove out of the underground parking lot. It was the rescue team leader she had met before. He changed his clothes and sat in the driver's seat.
There were no lights in the bus, and it was dark, so normal people couldn't see the other people in the bus at all.
But You Xi could see that all the people who had been in the same compartment with her before, including the crazy and tied up people, were all on this bus.
The rear of the bus was also printed with a faint diamond plus an infinity symbol. She followed it quietly, successfully swiped a shared bicycle outside an intersection, and then followed it at a very long distance.
Finally, the bus drove into the underground parking lot of the "Ruoai" technology company building.
Since this mark is one of the clues, she believes that the next destination pointed by the clue is "Ruoai" Technology Company.
It was lunch time, Youxi ordered a simple meal here, paired with latte and a fruit platter, and then took out the laptop she bought in the morning from her backpack (space).
She went to the shopping mall near the hotel today and bought two laptops and ten high-power power banks.
Considering the problem of electricity consumption in the future, she went to a store selling generators on the way here and bought two 8000w household gasoline generators. This generator is about the same size as two boxes of fruit, uses gasoline to generate electricity, and makes very little noise. However, she has not started
to stock up on gasoline yet, and she will have to find a way to get some later.
She put an anti-peeping film on the laptop screen, then found the recruitment information of "Ruo Ai" technology company on the website and submitted her prepared electronic resume.
After that, she searched for relevant information posts on the Internet. Many posts said that this company is very active in recruiting security guards, with a large demand all year round. The response after submitting the resume is very fast, the salary and benefits are also very high, and there has never been any security guard who complained about the company's bad system after the contract was terminated.
Many people who work in the security industry want to go to this company, but they heard that the threshold is very high, and those who don't have real skills can't get in at all, and the work is also very hard. After all, there are many confidential areas in technology companies, and security guards are required to monitor and patrol constantly.
Youxi scanned the posts one by one while drinking coffee.
Security work only requires high skills, and there is no special requirement for the gender of the applicant.
After checking the post, she ate lunch while thinking about the reward and clue she got yesterday.
She had already tried the reward, twice, according to the clue "dark", once last night and once this morning, both times in the hotel bathroom, closed the door, and waited for herself in the mirror to change.
But whether it was night or day, her reflection in the mirror did not show any strange phenomena again.
She didn't know whether she had not met the conditions for the appearance of the mirror world, or because she was "immune", she would never see strange phenomena in the future. She
was more inclined to the former, because "immunity" only meant that emotions were not tempted and affected, and it did not mean that the mirror world did not exist. As long as the conditions were met, the mirror world should still appear.
From this, it can also be inferred that the "dark" in the clue does not only refer to night and darkness.
You Xi analyzed every tiny clue, and occasionally glanced at the "Noi" technology company across the street.
The company was quite lively today. In the time she had been eating, a car that looked unusually luxurious had stopped in the square outside the company. Every time, several well-dressed people would get out of the car, and then walk into the building under the escort of security guards.
Now it was the fourth car that came - suddenly, her sight stopped and returned to a figure that had passed by earlier.
The man was wearing the security uniform of "Noi" company, and was following several other security guards, hurriedly coming out of the company to escort the new big shot.
Although the other party was wearing the same uniform as the other security guards and had taken off his hat, You Xi recognized him at a glance. He was the passenger who arrived at Wukongcheng in the same carriage as her, the handsome man in his teens who had looked at her several times in the carriage.
She still remembered that he got off the train at the same door as her.
Judging from his various behaviors, he should also be an experienced passenger.
