It was as if some mysterious substance was constantly drawing her forward.
Qiao He shook her head, trying her best not to look at the big hole, but at that moment, countless ghostly hands stretched out from the hole!
The ghostly hands were all tinged with a bluish-purple hue, and they gradually grew longer, becoming as long as the neck of the human-headed monster.
The ghost hand was extremely fast, and Qiao He only had time to use her earth-based abilities to create a thick protective layer on her body.
Then he was pulled inside by those countless ghostly hands.
At that moment, Qiao He was unaware that after she was pulled in, the large hole suddenly returned to its original state.
The carriage returned to its original state, and Bo Shiwu and Shen Huai, whom Qiao He couldn't see, also appeared, both looking flustered.
In their eyes, Qiao He suddenly disappeared, and soon there were strange explosions and violent tremors in the carriage.
Bo Shiwu searched for Qiao He's figure with bloodshot eyes, but he failed. Even if he ran out of this carriage, he would still come back here the next moment.
He and Shen Huai were also trapped in the train car loop, and they had not yet found a way out.
——
Inside the subway.
Qiao He finally entered, but she was now tightly bound by countless ghostly hands, making it difficult to move even an inch.
Qiao He narrowed his eyes slightly. It seemed that there was no way to deal with these ghost hands using firearms.
But it's not entirely without a solution.
Qiao He chose a high-ranking figure from the underworld—the Judge—from among the paper figures she had seen before.
The judge is in charge of dealing with supernatural and bizarre things. Now that Qiao He is entangled by the ghost hand, the judge's appearance will naturally be useful.
Since Qiao He's superpower was upgraded, she no longer needs to draw paper figures with pen and paper. She only needs to conceive the image and abilities of the judge in her mind, and after activating her superpower, she can bring the judge from mythology here.
A few seconds later, sweat appeared on Qiao He's forehead.
Since entering the subway, she has summoned the paper doll many times, and now she is finding it a bit difficult.
Even so, we must persevere.
If they can collect the azure substance and hand it over to the system, their chances of getting out of here will greatly increase.
But it was obvious that the subway didn't want Qiao He to come into contact with the blue substance. Instead, it seemed as if it could detect that she also carried the blue substance in her body, so it chose to bring her here alone and then devour her.
Survival of the fittest.
Qiao He truly understood the meaning of those words.
This is the cruelty of nature.
Even the subway, imbued with energy, follows its instinct to devour more humans and the blue matter, making itself stronger.
The judge finally appeared.
It was the image of an ancient man in a purple robe. He was eight feet tall, with a very robust physique and a very dignified face. He was upright but also looked somewhat fierce. He held a dark longsword in his hand, and his whole body exuded an extremely terrifying aura.
The moment the judge appeared, the ghostly hands covering Qiao He seemed to pause for a moment.
She clearly sensed that the ghost hand was abnormal, like a mouse encountering its natural enemy—a fear that came from the depths of its genes.
The judge swung his longsword suddenly!
In an instant, dozens of ghost hands were severed, and after being cut off, those ghost hands instantly turned into black smoke and disappeared from the spot, never to be seen again.
If Qiao He were to make the move, those ghostly hands might not be able to be killed at all. Even if they were scattered, they would regenerate at an extremely fast speed and trap Qiao He here again.
But the judge is different; he has a natural restraint over ghosts and monsters.
Qiao He used her supernatural power to control the judge to cut off the ghostly hands on her body, but after cutting off some of the ghostly hands, other ghostly hands quickly appeared and frantically wrapped around her body.
Like a stubborn plaster, no matter what Qiao He did, she couldn't shake off the ghostly hand.
So Qiao He gritted her teeth and made the judge unleash his full power, cutting off all the ghost hands on her body in one go!
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Qiao He immediately ran forward. She absolutely could not stay here any longer; she had to keep running forward!
The closer Qiao He got to the azure substance, the more powerful its force became.
It inspires longing, yet also fills one with immense awe.
Qiao He's heart was pounding wildly; she felt like she was about to explode, and her blood was flowing faster.
It's clearly just a consciousness, so I don't know why I still have this physical sensation.
Blood gushed from Qiao He's nose, but she didn't have time to touch it.
Because she was completely preoccupied with her own survival and with ghostly hands constantly chasing after her, Qiao He controlled the judge to fend off those ghostly hands while also maintaining the protective layer of mud on her body at all times to avoid being ambushed by some unseen and undetectable energy.
She ran forward, not knowing where she was going, but the further she ran, the more difficult it became.
Qiao He felt as if he had stepped into a pool of rotting flesh. There were blood vessels squeezing around him, but because the corpse was constantly decomposing, stepping in felt like entering silt.
Almost every step Qiao He took was incredibly difficult.
Her ears were ringing, and she seemed unable to hear any sounds from the outside world.
At some point, Qiao He's eyes turned bloodshot, and the blood vessels in her eyeballs burst repeatedly, from which lines of bloody tears flowed down.
Her ears were also bleeding, but Qiao He couldn't feel it for the time being.
She now has only one goal: to find the azure substance as soon as possible!
But the subway seemed to sense her intention; when Qiao He tried to run forward, it wouldn't let her pass.
In the end, Qiao He was completely unable to move forward another step.
She was squeezed in the middle by something that looked like chunks of flesh, unable to move forward.
Even breathing has become an extreme luxury.
Qiao He's body was breaking apart, and the protective layer of soil was peeling away bit by bit. The ghost hand had disappeared at some point, and she no longer had the strength to control the judge.
The paper-figure judge also disappeared.
Now, it seems that only Qiao He remains in the boundless darkness.
The subway is enraged, and the surrounding forces are growing stronger, with forces from all directions angrily squeezing Qiao He.
Qiao He used both earth-based and metal-based abilities to protect his body, but even so, it was only a drop in the ocean.
She'll be crushed to death by the powerful force of the subway sooner or later.
All Qiao He can do now is barely cling to life.
She felt like she was going to die.
I wonder how Bo Shiwu, Chen Huai, and the kittens are doing.
I wonder if Li Zong, who has no offensive capabilities, is still alive. If he is dead, the search for Ye Hong and Qiao Yuan may become even more difficult.
Qiao He's almond-shaped eyes gradually lost their light; she couldn't die here...
