Chapter 25: .First move

The sound of falling down sounded painful.
Grasping this gap, Lin You rushed out of the tool room where he was. She looked back at the next door, and the man fell heavily on the toilet after being stabbed back by her.
The twisted inhuman creature didn't have much weight. This fall didn't break the toilet, but the compartment door that was kicked by himself was knocked shut by his head again.
She heard heavy breathing from behind the door, and the moment Lin You ran across the next compartment, the chopped wooden door flew over and hit the opposite wall with the latch.
Lin You looked at the wooden door and the cracked tiles that were barely visible before.
...If it's one second late, it's probably going to be her and put on the wall together.
The man walked out slowly.
That stabbed him off guard, but obviously, it had little effect except for a slight tremor in the knee. He still had the weird smile with stretched veins on his face, and when he turned his head to look at Lin You, his neck made a toothy "click" sound.
The axe dragged in his hand hung on the ground, dragging a crooked blood stain.
This obviously came from the girl with burgundy curly hair who was out at the beginning.
He grinned again and raised his hand and waved his axe to cut it over. At the same time, Lin You quickly grabbed the empty bucket used to draw water from the corner of the wall.
Head straight at him and lost his face!
She threw it accurately, and the bucket was firmly attached to the murderer's head. The latter lost his vision suddenly, and was screaming frantically, grabbing it, trying to get rid of it.
"Did I not say that when I was a kid, the owner of the hoop game stall in the park nearby saw me and walked around."
Lin You raised her eyebrows and grasped the handle decisively.
Now it's not suitable to carry this brute force, she has to think of something else.
"See you later, I'll come to play with you later."
The moment she rushed out and closed the door with her backhand, she heard the sound of plastic tearing and being smashed to the ground.
Lin You didn't even stop her breath, and quickly observed the downward direction, and ran towards the gate marked No. 5 without looking back. She went down half of the stairs, noticed the sound of a blunt object rubbing against the ground again, and immediately stopped vigilantly.
The man who was dragging the axe to look for her did not hear any movement and was far away.
He didn't chase him this time.
She stepped forward again, all the way down to the platform where the other party had arrived at the beginning.
This platform is a bit more spacious than the one where the player got off, and the others are no different.
The whole Kisaragi station looks very shabby, with clocks hanging on the walls, and the glass is full of weathered scratches. The dirty bulb is shaking, and the swaying amplitude is like the wind can blow down.
Lin You carefully observed it in a circle.
I really told her to find him.
With the dim light, she picked up a newspaper on the yellow line at the edge of the platform and caught a glimpse of the bold and enlarged headline.
-"SMILE".
Seeing this word, Lin You's pupils shrank, and she looked at her ten lines.
This is a front-page news report, to the effect that in recent days, there have been several people with abnormal behaviors in the city. After research, they got the same mysterious disease.
The new type of disease is named "Acute Muscle Tissue Sclerosis". Infected people will deform their bodies, lose their minds, become violent and bloodthirsty, and are highly aggressive.
These patients are also called "SMILE" because of the weird and twisted smiles on their faces.
It seems that one of them was transported to Kisaragi Station.
"The coverage of this game is really wide..." Lin You muttered, "What story is this again."
She hadn't even heard of it.
But fortunately, I gave ready clues and explained the origin of the so-called code name in the little girl's mouth.
"Ordinary knives or guns cannot really hurt'SMILE' unless it is a special weapon developed for them..."
Lin You muttered the last few words and fell silent.
...Where can she go to set up special weapons?
Even at this station, there is a huge boundary, looking for this is like looking for a needle in a haystack blindly looking for a little girl's right hand.
In any case, it seems that I have to go back again.
But Lin You looked at the stretch of train tracks and suddenly moved in her heart.
Before the three-minute time limit was too late, now she wants to try to see if she can pass people on this track.
The rules of the game are there, and she doesn't feel like she can leave along the track.
But the platform that can be seen not far away is separated from here by a few railroad tracks. After that, if there are groups of ghosts haunting upstairs as they are now, the underground may occasionally serve as a safe passage.
Lin You picked up a small stone and threw it lightly on the rail.
There was wind whistling in front of her, and she reflexively took a step back.
I don't know if it's because there are no passengers on the car, but the tram sprinted past, but it was so quiet that there was no sound.
Lin You saw it with his own eyes this time, and the cab at the front of the car was also empty.
This is a series of genuine ghost trams.
Apparently, she thought, it is not allowed to pass on the railroad tracks, and even if there is a little contact, a tram will come-if anyone really wants to do this, it will only end up disappearing in the wheels of an empty tram.
She sighed a little regretfully, and after seeing that there was nothing worth taking away, she stepped onto the stairs.
The open underground passage is divided into east and west zones, with odd-numbered entrances in the east and even-numbered entrances in the west.
There were four rows of tall storage cabinets in the central passage connecting the two districts. Just as Lin You just wanted to go through and look at the west district, he heard another dull sound of dragging his axe past.
She immediately leaned behind a row of cabinets.
Just a few meters apart, Lin You heard "SMILE" walking behind her, and suddenly felt something was wrong.
...There are still people here!
The moment she turned her head suddenly, the other party also made a low voice.
"Shhh."
Lin You: "..."
Who is this person?
She looked up and down with some confusion, feeling that the other person was a bit familiar.
It took four or five seconds before it finally came to mind—she saw this face when she first got out of the elevator, there was no way, the appearance was really not very recognizable. Although it's pretty good-looking, it belongs to the one that can't be recognized by throwing it into the crowd.
"My name is Xu Yan." When the murderer left, he introduced himself with a sigh of relief, "Did you scare you just now?"
...No, no, she was not surprised.
Even wondering how the guy who rushed past could start.
Lin You answered vaguely.
"Lin You." She said, "You didn't go up?"
"I just came down."
Xu Yan explained.
"The upper floor is a big shopping mall, but we tried it, and the door couldn't get out like an air wall. Nine people must be enough to look for it, so I volunteered to come back and see if there is anything left here. The clue of the right hand."
Hearing this, Lin You looked at him more.
"Speaking of it, we see you are gone," Xu Yan was unavoidably embarrassed when he said this, "I thought you were..."
died?
Lin You glanced at him.
"As you can see, I'm alive and well." She didn't ask much, just spread her hands. "It just so happens that I want to look for it carefully. Since it's all on this level, it's better to divide labor more efficiently.
She is in charge of the Eastern District and Xu Yan is in charge of the Western District.
The difficulty lies in investigating while avoiding the man's tracking. Apart from the five entrances and exits in the eastern district, there are two stores on the far side-a station convenience store and a beverage store.
There are also several vending machines near the entrance and exit. When Linyou passed by, he saw a dazzling array of samples inside, knowing the difference between going this way and catching blindly.
There must be some hints that haven't been caught--
"Ding Dong."
Lin You was stunned by the ringtone.
She rushed to look at the wall clock on the wall of the passage—twenty minutes had passed since she was entangled by the murderer.
"Please pay attention--" The little girl's sweet voice sounded on the radio again.
"The Gap Girl appeared at the third mouth."
Number three.
...The Eastern District where she is now.

A young woman in a trench coat stepped out of the stairs.
She wears a mask, her face and eyebrows look outstanding. But once I think about what is under the mask, my appreciation is gone.
Rip female.
The well-known urban legend is said to be a beautiful woman who used a mask to cover her burst mouth. She would stop the kids after school on the street and ask them if they are beautiful.
If the answer is "beauty", take off the mask and ask again. If she gets a negative answer this time, the rip girl will use the huge scissors she is carrying to kill the opponent; and if it is affirmative, she will cut the sides of the child's mouth to make them as beautiful as herself.
"..."
Lin You originally wanted to replay the old tricks, hiding behind the vending machine, while the other party left here, went down to the platform to see if there were any new clues.
But after seeing the half-arm scissors hanging from the woman's waist, she changed her mind.
Maybe... This one can choose to start first.
"Go," she said softly.
Hearing this order, the hand summoned from the picture book began to creep forward quietly.
It hid in the shadow of the bench on the side, kept in sync with the slit woman, and then silently reached out its fingers.
Leap suddenly!
With a clear tearing sound, the severed hand yanked things to the ground forcefully, and then dragged the scissors that were too big for its size, twisted the direction and ran away.
Gap Girl: "...?!"
She stared at her running scissors in disbelief, and turned back to chase desperately.
The speed of the slit girl is extremely fast, even if it takes the first opportunity, the severed hand that only relies on the movement of the finger can not escape her. Just before it was about to be snatched away, it flicked hard and the big scissors slid straight on the ground.
Lin You picked up the scissors that slid to her feet, turned and rushed down the stairs.
"stop!"
The slit woman squeezed a voice from her teeth angrily, "...return my things!"
She ran after Lin You in a blink of an eye.
Then, at this moment--
Lin You threw forward hard, and the scissors drew a perfect arc in the air.
"Dang!"
The slit girl was stunned.
The next second it landed on the rails, it seemed like it had touched some mechanism, and a tram quietly passed by.
Crush the scissors so that there is no residue left.
