Chapter 82: [Bonus Chapter] Station Of Horrors (1)

With a last swing, the last attacker fell to the ground, dead. The entire carriage was littered with corpses, and the floor was stained with blood. The sight appeared to be straight out of a horror movie.

Thankfully, they didn't have to endure the attacks for much longer as the train came to a halt. The doors opened again, but this time, no one came rushing in.

[Last stop: Hongik University Station.]

An automated voice called out. Suddenly, the train shook violently and then collapsed as if something was crushing it from above. YuWon could feel the air turning cold.

"Run!" he shouted, grabbing Yeji's hand and pulling her toward the exit.

Lysandra and Gina were already ahead, with Lysandra using her vines to try and stop the train from collapsing, but in vain. YuWon threw Yeji towards the door and Gina jumped in, grabbing Yeji as he jumped towards the exit.

YuWon barely escaped as the train's walls caved in before disappearing, leaving them stranded at the station.

"What the hell was that?" YuWon asked, panting.

"More importantly, where are we?" Yeji asked and YuWon looked at her as if he was seeing her for the first time.

"I'd have asked that too if they didn't make an announcement!" YuWon rolled his eyes. "Are you still sleepy?"

Unfortunately, YuWon couldn't make fun of her anymore. After all, they weren't alone there. Just like them, several others had jumped out of the train and were eyeing everyone carefully.

They had spent the last ten minutes or so killing other humans, so it wasn't strange that they were wary of each other. YuWon was the same and drew his swords, ready for a fight.

Gina and Lysandra stepped up beside him, covering Yeji in the middle. Gina's claws were out, and Lysandra's vines were slithering next to her feet. But no one made the first move.

"YuWon? Is that you?"

A familiar voice broke the silence. Slowly, he turned around and noticed someone standing behind a group of skeletons.

"Soo-Ah?" YuWon asked.

"Yeah, it's me!" Soo-Ah smiled, waving her hand.

But she wasn't alone. A tall and muscular guy was also there, holding a curved blade. He had a scar on his face and his hair was a mess. But YuWon recognized him too. It was Min-Joon.

"Oh, my bad," YuWon smiled, letting go of the man's hand. "I forget I have a firm grip. I hope you're not hurt!"

"N-Not at all," the man forced a smile, shaking his hand. "Everyone needs to be strong here... haha... I'm Kye, by the way—"

"Gay? That's an unusual name."

"No, Kye! As in the letter K!"

"Oh, my bad, Mr. Kye. What brings you here?"

Kye cleared his throat and said, "Since we are all stranded here, I was wondering if we could all be together. I mean, work together? It would be easier to deal with whatever comes next."

YuWon looked at Kye, wanting to decline the offer. But just then, the ground shook and the silent speakers throughout the station made a loud screeching noise.

Everyone covered their ears beside Lysandra, who erected a barrier around them. As for YuWon, he grabbed Kye's collar and lifted him in the air.

"I'm tired of people trying to screw me over."

Kye's eyes widened in fear, but before he could say anything, YuWon threw him sideways, and he collided with someone invisible and both fell over.

"Being invisible doesn't cover your footsteps, fucking morons," YuWon snarled, slashing away. "You think I didn't notice your people disappearing one after another?"

The invisible assassin's head rolled off the platform. As if on cue, two more of Kye's group members emerged from the shadows behind YuWon, ready to strike him down.

But just then Lysandra's barrier exploded, pushing them off. Min-Joon and Gina burst forth, killing both of them.

Kye realized their ambush had failed and tried calming YuWon down.

"It's not what it looks like! I swear!"

"Save it," YuWon rolled his eyes. "You shouldn't waste your last words like this."

"Wait, wait! This wasn't my idea! I swear, man, I didn't—" Kye backed away.

Unfortunately, YuWon had run out of patience and, with a swing of his blades, took the guy's life.
