Reborn As a Snake, I Can Absorb Fear

Chapter 55: The Great White Snake Saved UsA few of the braver ones quickly ran over to carry Jiang Wan and Yang Ping.

Just as they lifted the two women, the lights on the billboards inside the tracks suddenly went out.

The entire platform was instantly plunged into darkness.

Roar!

Roar!

Roar!

In the darkness, the roars of zombies were exceptionally clear, as if they were right next to their ears.

”Ah!”

Someone couldn’t take it and began to run around blindly.

”Don’t scream.”

”Everyone, don’t run around.”

”Ah! A zombie, I’ve been bitten by a zombie!”

The people carrying Jiang Wan and Yang Ping suddenly felt the bodies in their hands tremble, and they dropped them in a panic.

”Ah!”

[fear points +80]

[fear points +90]

...

In the darkness.

Screams, shouts, cries for help, and the roars of zombies mixed together.

It kept everyone on edge, their spirits constantly in a state of high tension.

fear points were being generated continuously.

Jiang Feng watched the rapidly rising fear points with delight, his snake mouth grinning so wide it could hardly close.

After being bitten by a zombie, someone was filled with despair and wept bitterly in the darkness.

One particularly filial son was even crying his eyes out.

”Ah! I’ve been bitten by a zombie! Dad, Mom, your son can’t fulfill his filial duties to you anymore. It’s all my fault, I’m an unfilial son! I can’t take care of you in your old age or give you a proper burial. I really deserve to be struck by lightning...”

This filial son had been crying for a minute and was still going; Jiang Feng really couldn’t listen to it anymore.

He quietly slithered over and knocked him unconscious with a slap.

What did he, a snake, know about filial piety? Big snakes eat small snakes, and mother snakes eat their hatchlings.

Asking him to be filial? Filial my snake eggs.

Therefore, Jiang Feng could not empathize with the filial son at all.

As for his past life as a human, that was already a thing of the past. Did a failed web novel writer even count as a normal human? Not at all.

Furthermore, Jiang Feng had discovered that this world was no longer his original world; in his previous life, there was no Su City or Sucheng University.

This was just a world similar to his past one.

A web novel writer’s capacity for acceptance was quite strong; he wasn’t at all curious about why he had been reborn, because he knew better than anyone why rebirth happened.

He had written several rebirth novels himself, so how could he not know?

The chaotic state of the crowd continued, but after a long period of chaos, things would return to order.

Because all things have a law of self-repair, just as celestial bodies in the universe have an inherent order to their movements.

There was a thing formed in chaos, born before Heaven and Earth—this is called the Dao.

Many people had gradually realized something was wrong; they hadn’t turned into zombies after being bitten.

Jiang Feng’s Evil Snake Domain could distort a person’s perception, but it could not control their consciousness.

Even if Jiang Feng changed his appearance into a zombie, the person’s consciousness remained clear and would soon correct their own cognition.

At the moment they corrected their cognition, their spirit would become exceptionally strong because they had found themselves.

If more people like this corrected their cognition, they might see through the falsehood directly, causing a spiritual backlash to Jiang Feng.

So Jiang Feng knew that the Evil Snake Domain was about to break.

A surge of Mental Energy had already begun to resist his domain.

Thus, Jiang Feng simply retracted the Evil Snake Domain.

Instantly, everything returned to normal.

The lights came on!

The elevator appeared!

The hideous and terrifying zombies vanished!

Only the panicked and unsettled expressions of the crowd remained.

Everything was like a dream, yet so real.

”What on earth happened? Does anyone know?”

”Oh my god, I was almost scared to death just now. A zombie grabbed me.”

”There were no zombies. It was all fake.”

”Was someone playing a prank?”

”Let’s get out of this hellhole quickly. I don’t want to stay here for another second.”

Someone took the lead and rushed toward the elevator.

In an instant, everyone woke up as if from a dream.

That’s right! Now was not the time for doubt or curiosity; leaving this place was the most important thing.

Watching the panicked crowd flee, Jiang Feng the snake followed closely behind.

Jiang Feng crawled directly onto the escalator and then inserted himself into the crowd.

”Ah! Why did this snake follow us too?”

”Whoa, I don’t think I saw this snake at all just now. Where did it come from?”

”I’m seriously done. A weird snake and a supernatural event all at once.”

Although many were shocked by Jiang Feng’s sudden insertion, they were not panicked.

They had already encountered the Big White Snake on the train; whatever fear they had, they had already processed.

In their hearts, this snake was just for show—it looked scary, but in reality, it was just a harmless, eccentric snake with unique behavior.

”I suddenly feel that with this snake around, I wouldn’t be so scared even if we ran into zombies again. With its size, an ordinary zombie wouldn’t be its match.”

Jiang Feng looked curiously at the person who spoke.

He saw the man staring at him with a smile, his gaze kind and friendly.

If Jiang Feng weren’t a snake but a human, he would definitely go up and make friends with him.

People with such enlightened thinking were rare these days.

He was much better than that little cousin who brought an excavator to deal with him.

A tiny excavator trying to deal with him? It was enough to make a snake die of laughter.

”Look, the snake is smiling at me. This is a very spiritual snake. I believe that with it here, we have nothing to fear from any supernatural events.”

”The reason we were able to escape the supernatural event just now might have been thanks to the Big White Snake. This also explains why the Big White Snake wasn’t there at the time—because it wasn’t caught in the supernatural event at all. It was the one who saved us.”

The Brother Kind’s explanation was very logical, and many people nodded in deep agreement.

”You’re right. I also feel like the Big White Snake saved us.”

”That seems to make some sense.”

”I think a lot of people online have wronged the Big White Snake. It’s clearly a spiritual beast that brings us good fortune. If it wasn’t for it, we might have been trapped there forever.”

”Yes, I heard the police want to deal with the Big White Snake. We should stop them. We can’t let the Big White Snake suffer such injustice.”

”Yeah! I suddenly feel that the Big White Snake getting on the subway actually had a purpose. It was suppressing evil. Think about it, did it hurt anyone while it was crawling around in the car?”

”No, it didn’t,” someone answered.

”Exactly! It didn’t hurt anyone, yet it kept crawling around. It was actually driving away the evil things in the subway. Think again, why did we encounter a supernatural event as soon as we got off the train?”

”I know! It’s because we left the carriage and the Big White Snake!” someone raised their hand and answered.

”Exactly, that’s it. The Big White Snake getting on the train was actually to suppress evil and keep us from being disturbed by the supernatural. Once we left the Big White Snake, the supernatural immediately found us.”

”You’re absolutely right. After your analysis, everything makes sense.”

”Come on, let’s protect our guardian deity, the Big White Snake, together.”

Many people felt that the Big White Snake had saved them, so they escorted the Big White Snake toward the subway exit.

Near the subway exit.

Battalion Commander Wu and Li Anbang had just arrived with their men.

After receiving the report from 007, they had rushed over without stopping.
