Chapter 11 Subway Chase (Ch 11)

Perhaps it is because the nobles have the blessing of the divine tablets…

With the help of supernatural powers, one becomes an elite in every field and earns countless wealth?

The common people don’t have divine cards and don’t know about the existence of superpowers, so they can only become beasts of burden to be exploited by the nobles?

The thought made him shudder.

Zhou Ke still remembers that he was mistakenly arrested by the police the day before yesterday on the charge of [using supernatural powers in front of civilians].

Therefore, the common people were kept in the dark like livestock, completely unaware of the existence of superpowers, and were at the mercy of the nobles.

Zhou Ke sighed.

In just two days, his worldview had changed dramatically.

He originally thought that the world he traveled to was no different from the original Earth except for the political system.

However, the emergence of magic cards, superpowers, magic schools, Skull and Bones killers and other elements forced Zhou Ke to realize that he still knew very little about this world.

Zhou Ke clenched his fist.

Fortunately, he received a divine tablet on his 18th birthday, which allowed him to come into contact with the real world.

As long as he can go to the [Shenpai School] to study, he can become a member of the nobility sooner or later.

He focused on getting on the road.

The last time I went to school, I used Professor Chen Yun’s special ability to teleport there instantly.

But today, Zhou Ke needs to go to school independently. He cannot transfer instantly, so he can only take the subway.

The subway station was packed with people at eight o’clock in the morning. Zhou Ke couldn’t help but sigh.

Most of the nobles have private cars. In this world, the subway is generally used by common people or poor nobles like Zhang Yang.

When the subway arrived at the station, people swarmed in and squeezed forward.

Zhou Ke finally managed to rush onto the bus with his nimble body, only to find that there were no seats left.

Helplessly, he could only squeeze in the crowd and sway.

“Ding Dong, we’re here at East City Square.”

This is a big platform, and some people started to get off the train one after another.

Zhou Ke wanted to go to the terminal, so he stood where he was and didn’t move.

“Ah.” In the crowded subway, a soft body bumped into Zhou Ke.

“Sorry.” A clear female voice came from behind.

Zhou Ke turned around.

She is a girl with silver hair.

The sunlight penetrated the car window, reflecting tiny halos on her silver hair.

The skin exposed above her black mask was fair, and her eyelashes cast a butterfly-wing-like shadow on her skin.

The girls dress simply, cleanly and stylishly.

She looked to be the same age as Zhou Ke, and was carrying a red schoolbag, apparently also going to school.

After apologizing, the girl closed her eyes slightly and did not look in Zhou Ke’s direction.

Her silver hair was very distinctive, and Zhou Ke immediately remembered who she was.

The girl from yesterday whose magic card was the Queen of Spades.

Zhou Ke moved his eyes to her wrist – a carved silver bracelet.

The bracelet has a special logo engraved on it.

This symbol is very similar to the medals on the chests of Zhuang Xingyao and Ye Lingtian, but slightly different.

It is a [Spade] with a long sword inserted into it.

He remembered what Zhang Yang had said.

Zhuang Xingyao and Ye Lingtian are both from the four great noble families, so they have such medals.

The girl in front of me… is also one of the four nobles.

Zhou Ke frowned.

This kind of subway is usually ridden by common people, and occasionally by some poor and destitute aristocrats.

Why does she also want to squeeze into the subway?

“Excuse me…” Zhou Ke tried to start a conversation.

Boom!!!

There was a sudden violent vibration in the subway.

The passengers looked around and made confused noises:

“What happened? Was there an earthquake?”

“ah!!!!”

A shrill scream echoed in the subway car.

A female passenger covered her mouth and pointed to the end of the carriage, her voice trembling:

“There is…a monster in the car!”

Zhou Ke looked in the direction she was pointing.

In the last car of the subway tram, a man in black clothes and a hood stood quietly.

At first glance, I thought he was just a weirdo dressed in strange clothes.

However, what stretched out from his cuffs on both sides were not human hands, but black, slimy and slippery octopus tentacles.

Slowly, the humanoid monster began to speak, his voice hollow and hoarse:

“Those who resist will die.”

“It’s none of other people’s business. I’m here to kill only one person.”

As he spoke, he slowly approached the direction where Zhou Ke was.

“Hey, what are you doing? Cosplay?” A muscular man with thick limbs stopped him and said, “This is a public place, please maintain order.”

The strange man stopped and seemed to be looking up, carefully examining the man’s face.

Two seconds later, another hoarse voice came out: “Not a target, obstacles cleared.”

It suddenly stretched out a tentacle, raised it high, and then exerted force and slapped the burly man.

The man looked very tall and strong, but when he was attacked by the tentacles, he flew out like a piece of paper.

There was a sound of slime sliding under the tentacle monster’s black robe, and when the overturned strong man hit the train railing, the stainless steel pipe made a buzzing sound.

The man collapsed to the ground instantly, unconscious.

After clearing the obstacles, the weirdo continued to move forward.

The people around screamed, moved aside, and ran away from the carriage in panic.

Zhou Ke didn’t move.

He noticed that there was a skull painted on the monster’s black clothes.

And he found that the silver-haired girl had not left either.

“They are the killing monsters of the Skull and Bones Society. Generally speaking, they will be given the characteristics of their killing targets in advance, so they will not kill innocent people indiscriminately.”

“So, the civilian man is not dead.”

The girl whispered to herself:

“But, it is precisely because of this that this [Killing Monster] is like a machine, with a very simple and rigid logic of action.”

Zhou Ke sighed slightly.

He thought of the second freshman test yesterday.

The killer once vowed that they would send people to hunt down Zhou Ke soon.

Seeing this tentacle monster, Zhou Ke had already prepared himself mentally, but he didn’t expect them to come so soon.

Zhou Ke sighed and said softly:

“Oh, he must be here to kill me…”

“He must be here to kill me.” The silver-haired girl murmured.

???

She whispered to herself, accidentally stealing Zhou Ke’s line.

Zhou Ke looked at her sideways.

My classmate, are you being a little too self-indulgent?

The girl didn’t notice Zhou Ke’s gaze at all, her eyes were fixed on the tentacle monster.

The next second, she instantly took out her own magic card.

The speed was very fast, but Zhou Ke still saw the pattern above.

A black queen.

Queen of Spades.

The silver-haired girl muttered:

“Although it is illegal to use the divine tablet in public, this is an emergency and we must do this!”

She then chanted another spell:

“【Black Spade】destroys the army, 【Princess】forges a divine weapon.”

In an instant, a pistol appeared out of thin air in her hand.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

She shot at the monster without hesitation.

The monster didn’t dodge and took the bullet head-on, but it didn’t show any sign of being injured and just kept walking forward.

There was a hint of surprise in the girl’s eyes. She shook her head quickly and was about to step forward when she was suddenly stopped by an arm.

It was Zhou Ke who extended his hand.

“Classmate, its target is me, please don’t go and make a meaningless sacrifice.”

Zhou Ke stopped in front of her and spoke softly.

The girl looked him up and down and asked hesitantly, “Who are you?”
