Chapter 456 [Train] Bat
Chen Ji calculated the time.
Tian Qinghe went missing around 5 p.m. on May 2nd.
The day before, the Thirteenth Bureau detected that the road signs had been affected, suspecting that it was the work of company personnel who had arrived in Tianhai earlier and then suddenly disappeared.
Among these people were more than a dozen employees who had activated at least two stars, including two directors in the Yin faction.
One is a bat (female earth bat/sky rat).
The other one is very mysterious; no one knows who she/he is.
Now it seems that this second unknown Director Yin is clearly the woman sitting with Bat.
She had been keeping her head down, seemingly not wanting them to see her face, but after everyone sat down, she straightened up and looked straight ahead.
It was only when he saw them that Chen Ji realized there should have been nine seats!
No one expected that these two missing directors would actually appear on the ghost train...
In the back row, Han Bing and Chen Yuetan sat together.
The two exchanged a glance, their eyes flickering. The matter of Tian Qinghe's disappearance was more complicated than they had originally thought.
Before boarding the vehicle, everyone thought it was just a supernatural event where reality was being eroded; but the appearance of Director Yin proved that there was definitely a human element involved.
look around.
Apart from seven living people, everyone else on this train was a ghost, and no one dared to make a move.
The five people who boarded the bus later stared intently at the two bats. These two had boarded the bus earlier than them and, having survived until now, should have already figured out some of the rules.
The bat never dared to stand up and remained firmly seated, proving that getting up abruptly might violate some taboo.
"A bunch of useless people."
"At the very front row," Bat muttered gloomily.
There were more than two people when they got on the bus.
However, the other two employees were already dead.
He was extremely agitated, especially after seeing Chen Ji!
Pulling up his sleeve and looking at his arm, the bat's eyes grew even colder.
The parts of his body covered by his clothes were covered with horrifying stitches, making it look as if he had been dismembered and then pieced back together.
The injury the monkey left him has not fully healed to this day.
"He's having a tough time too."
The woman beside the bat whispered, "Didn't you see the festering sores on his arm? That's a curse."
"This proves that he came into contact with the ghost slaves earlier than we did... Now it seems that [Zhang Village] is more dangerous than we thought."
The bat remained silent.
Like them, [Zhangzhai] is also a temporary stop.
However, unlike the orphanage where the bats boarded the bus, [Zhangzhai] is very close to the final stop and belongs to an area that has been eroded.
Just then, that familiar rustling sound reappeared.
"The mountain is here again."
The woman gazed out the window, and in the blink of an eye, Zhangzhai had vanished, replaced by boundless darkness.
rustle......
“This isn’t true.” The bat glanced at the window, then lowered its head in boredom.
"it is true."
The woman said, "You still don't understand the operating rules of trains."
"After picking up passengers in reality, it will return to another point in time. For most of the train's running time, we are at this point in time."
"The appearance of the mountains proves that we have returned to that point in time."
"So that was the last chance to leave the train?" Bat's eyes narrowed slightly.
“Yes,” the woman said, “this is the last chance for this journey.”
She turned her head, the pale purple ribbon on her hat swaying slightly, and sighed silently.
Zeng Guichuan's death was too sudden. Originally, Bat had nothing to do with their plan, but now that he had joined at the last minute, he only had a vague understanding of everything and needed her to explain.
"Is there any progress on what Wan Chengzhong is looking for?"
The bat was silent for a few seconds, then asked again.
“No.” The woman shook her head: “When the Tuotuoshan Coal Mine accident happened, Zeng Guichuan left too early and didn’t even know what that thing looked like.”
"Niu Jinniu and Zhuang Xiubi have been trying to find out our true intentions, but they don't understand the Creator at all. They think we're just searching for the 'essence'."
"For people like Zeng Hewan, it can indeed stabilize their bodies, but that's just a temporary fix."
She paused, then suddenly leaned back, and the train finally broke free from the starting phase, its speed increasing abruptly.
The ghosts, who were already restless, now seemed to have been freed from their shackles, and looked coldly at the seven living people in the train.
Gradually, indistinct whispers began to circulate in the car...
The ghosts are communicating.
The woman tensed, her voice growing softer: "In short, 'essence' is just the beginning."
"You know, getting into the core area of the Source Corpse isn't easy."
"I understand."
The bat seemed to be deep in thought. With a flick of his wrist, a stone box appeared in his hand: "Just like this, a key."
The woman leaned almost imperceptibly to the side: "When did you take it from the company?"
"Hmph." The bat scoffed, "After Zeng Guichuan died."
He weighed the stone box in his hand, his eyes unfathomable: "You've never seen a strand of hair before, have you? Want to see one?"
"Do not."
The woman said coldly, "Take it back."
The woman only released her hand from her pocket after watching the box being put back in it.
She closed her eyes slightly and said, "Anyway, all you need to know is that Wan Chengzhong is determined to get the thing forged by the Creator in the projection, so he must enter Black Mountain."
“That’s a monster…right?” A dark glint flashed in the bat’s eyes.
"..." The woman glanced at him. "No."
No sooner had he finished speaking than footsteps came from the carriage in front.
A figure in a dark blue uniform, wearing a peaked cap, appeared at the door of carriage number 9.
His face was blurry, as if shrouded in a gray fog, as he stiffly walked across the aisle to the very back of the carriage.
At the same time, everyone felt a cold, watchful gaze being cast upon them.
The woman immediately shut her mouth and remained silent.
A hint of fear flashed in the bat's eyes, and it silently lowered its head.
The man whose face is obscured is the train attendant for this train.
Chen Yuetan slowly withdrew his gaze. After observing the changes in the two bats, he understood the danger the flight attendants were in.
But what exactly were Bat and the woman beside him whispering about?
Chen Yuetan is now almost certain.
These two definitely know how to "get on the train," and they understand the mechanics of the Ghost Train better than our side.
As the investigation deepened, Chen Yuetan discovered that Tian Qinghe got on the bus in a different way than the others.
Unlike Zhangzhai, Tian Qinghe disappeared on a regular high-speed train line.
Nothing had ever happened there before.
Therefore, Tian Qinghe and the others must have triggered something else to be forcibly pulled into the car.
What is it?
While pondering, Chen Yuetan suddenly paused.
Everyone was sitting properly in their seats.
But just then...
pat.
A series of slow, drawn-out footsteps suddenly sounded behind them.
Something left the seat.
pat.
It stopped next to the row of Han Bing and Chen Yuetan.
Chen Yuetan slowly raised his head, his pupils dilating in shock.
I don't want to sit alone.
Wu Su muttered to himself as he squeezed between Han Bing and Chen Yuetan, amidst the chilling gazes cast upon him by ghosts.
