Chapter 29 Statues in the Subway

Time passes day by day, and Yucheng has undergone great changes these days.

The curfew has been implemented. It was originally from 10 pm, but now it has been advanced to 9 pm. Once the time is up, no one is allowed to go out unless necessary. Except for the power supply bureau, hospitals and clinics and other people's livelihood departments, all places must close on time, and the subway must also close on time. Out of service.

Even during the day, there are many plainclothes combatants on the streets. They have obtained permission to wear pistols on their waists and body armor under their loose coats, ready to respond to emergencies.

Zhang Changqian and others traveled across half of China and arrived at Yucheng in early April. After quickly integrating the forces of the Shu Special Investigation Bureau, they began to formulate detailed combat plans. From morning to night, the conference room was brightly lit.

Even without any announcement, people living in Yucheng have been feeling inexplicably depressed recently.

The storm is coming.

Xia Jinyan also felt the tense atmosphere in Yucheng. He is a person who can get the top score in science in a big city. He can naturally see that geological disasters have occurred frequently in recent years. The truth hidden behind may not be as what the news media said. So simple.

However, he is too lazy to think about these issues now. His good brother is with the girl he has a crush on and is even about to get married. This incident has hit him hard and made him eager to escape from the city.

"Teacher Xia, are you really not thinking about it anymore? It's easy to discuss the treatment..."

"No, principal." Xia Jinyan was wearing a white shirt and smiled warmly:

"I have thought about it very clearly, principal. I am still young and hope to do great things."

"That's right." The principal, who was about to retire, sighed:

"Princeton Institute for Advanced Study... I didn't expect that you, an undergraduate, could actually apply for a spot. Even visiting scholars usually require a doctorate."

Xia Jinyan smiled and did not answer.

As he said, as a man in the pocket, as long as he reveals some ideas, the number of research institutions that accept him will not be too many.

"Okay, Teacher Xia, I will approve your resignation, but the process is slow. During this period, you can just go to class as normal."

"Thank you."

Xia Jinyan left the principal's office with mixed feelings in his heart.

Forget it, leave, devote yourself to theoretical research, forget about Tian Zuo and Xue'er, let them go, and let yourself go.

On the afternoon when he submitted his resignation, Xia Jinyan had a small problem in his class. When he was writing on the blackboard to solve problems, he subconsciously used advanced mathematical tools. His simple and efficient calculations stunned the students below. When he reacted When I came over, the school bell had already rang.

"Xia Jinyan, Xia Jinyan, for the sake of his own personal affairs, he actually delayed the lecture... Forget it, let's make up for it tomorrow."

He pushed up his glasses on the bridge of his nose without dragging his feet.

Yucheng's curfew is strictly enforced, and these underage students must go home before dark.

As usual, Xia Jinyan returned home on his bicycle, ate some scraps of food and started to pack his things.

Once he leaves, he doesn’t know when he will return to China next time. Even if he leaves the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton in the future, he will most likely continue his studies abroad. Xia Jinyan is thinking about selling everything at home. Only one empty house remains.

However, the ringtone interrupted his thoughts. Xia Jinyan looked at the caller profile picture and felt something was wrong.

Sure enough, the call came from the parent of a student in his class.

"Hello... Teacher Xia? My Yang Zhen hasn't come back yet. Has he gone to school this afternoon? Ah? Oh, oh, okay, please..."

After hanging up the phone, Xia Jinyan pinched her eyebrows and remained silent.

A student named Yang Chen has not returned home yet.

He glanced at the wall clock. It was seven forty-five and it was completely dark outside.

The lights in the big city are bright, and it's really not a big deal since I haven't arrived home at this time.

But with the recent situation in Yucheng, even a blind person can see that there is something wrong.

Xia Jinyan sighed, pulled off the windbreaker on the hanger and put it on his body. He went out and started searching along the main road next to the school.

Being a teacher is a very strange profession. Even if you know clearly that "you are not to blame for students' problems after school", you can't help but worry about accidents happening to students. Especially as a class teacher, you are almost equivalent to "half a parent".

Even though there is a curfew these days, public lighting equipment such as street lamps are never cut off at night and are even brighter than usual. The evening breeze is very comfortable at this time, but Xia Jinyan has no time to enjoy "pacing on a moonlit night"

Romantic mood, just look for it carefully along the street.

The search lasted for nearly an hour. When Xia Jinyan was far away from home, the phone rang again.

"Hey, is this Teacher Xia? Well, yes, our Yang Chen has gone home, and this kid actually went out to eat skewers! Ah? What are you asking about? Hehe, the kid's father is afraid that Yang Chen won't have enough to eat. Now

I'm making fried meat for him..."

Xia Jinyan put down her phone dumbfounded and planned to ask classmate Yang Chen if his butt hurt tomorrow.

Although it is best not to spank a child when he is older, but if he dares to act recklessly despite the curfew, he does deserve a spanking.

It was now 8:42 pm, and the curfew was still 18 minutes away. Xia Jinyan knew that walking back would definitely lead to a timeout, so he entered the subway station and took the last train home.

He trotted in. After all, at nine o'clock, even the subway stopped running.

Curfew is approaching, and of course there are no people on the subway at this time. There are only three or four passengers in one car, sitting spread out, all playing with their phones with their heads down, immersed in their own world.

Xia Jinyan leaned against the window as the subway started. After a brief acceleration, the tunnel lights were like thunder. In a daze, the young teacher suddenly felt very safe in the subway. At least, he knew where his destination was.

Unlike the journey that was about to begin, except for the four words "Princeton", Xia Jinyan knew nothing else.

Buzz——

Suddenly, a strange buzzer sounded in the subway. Passengers subconsciously covered their ears and frowned at the emergency button.

The alarm button...is malfunctioning?

"No, this is not the sound of the buzzer!" Xia Jinyan straightened up, his back pressed against the thick inner wall of the carriage.

He looked around and involuntarily cast his gaze on the statue in the adjacent carriage.

It stands abruptly in the subway. It looks like a prince wielding a sword. The paint on his clothes is blue. It is not lifelike, but the workmanship is exquisite.

Xia Jinyan noticed this statue when he first got on the train, but he didn't mind his own business. He just felt that the man who carried it into the subway was really strong and must be a strong man.

But now, looking at the statue, Xia Jinyan felt worse and worse, as if he was being stared at by a poisonous snake in the jungle, his heart was shaking and his muscles were tense.

He wanted to stay away from that car, but the next second, Xia Jinyan's footsteps suddenly stopped, and his heartbeat almost missed a beat.

The statue prince suddenly moved.

It raised the sword high and then slashed it down hard.

Boom!

The carriage began to wail.
Chapter completed!
