Chapter 79. Ghost Train
Arc 3 : Supernatural Horror Movie Nightmare.
T/N-: Two chapters.
Du Yan, the only one who could control the situation, stood silently in the aisle. He had no time to appease everyone’s emotions at the moment, and his full attention was on the things outside the window.
The lights in the carriage were not too bright, and if one got close to the glass, they could see the tunnel wall outside. Although each section of the entire tunnel looked similar, Du Yan observed it very carefully.
The place where the train pulled up now was exactly the same as the place where the train accidentally stopped when they came to Shunping City. Because looking from the direction where Du Yan was standing, there was a crescent-shaped gap in the tunnel wall. Last time when the train stopped, he also saw this gap when he looked out of the window.
Just when Du Yan wanted to get closer to confirm, he suddenly frowned and took a step back. It turned out that within just a few minutes, things outside the window started to get uneasy.
In the dark space, many distorted shadows appeared out of thin air, and then the carriage windows were filled with distorted and rotten faces.
Du Yan slightly shifted his gaze, feeling that this place was really not suitable for him, and these resentful ghosts were really too unsightly.
However, the actions of the vengeful ghosts this time did not seem to be unconscious. As long as Du Yan’s eyes fell on them, those faces would desperately squeeze forward, while squeezing, they opened their rotten lipless mouths, as if they wanted to say something.
Although Du Yan was not afraid of these ghosts, the scene in front of him was too shocking to the eyes, and he couldn’t hide in someone’s arms like Zhou Tian and not look at this mess.
Du Yan pinched his brows and raised his hand to knock on the window glass, hoping to quiet these ghosts. Perhaps Du Yan’s knock last time was still fresh in the memory of these unconscious resentful ghosts because as soon as he raised his hand, the large space on the windows became empty in an instant.
The resentful ghosts who were still trying their best to show off, pushing and stepping on others, backed away crazily.
“…”
Du Yan was speechless as he watched this funny scene. If it weren’t for the fact that these ghosts looked so ugly, he would have even laughed out loud.
Seeing Du Yan stop knocking on the window, the ghosts surrounded him fearlessly, seeming to be trying to make some sound.
These resentful ghosts who died in ancient times had no idea that the windows of the sleeper compartment had excellent sound insulation. Even if they were howling loudly outside, Du Yan could not hear what they were saying.
Among a group of stupid ghosts, there will always be some smarter ones. One of the ghosts finally noticed that Du Yan seemed unable to hear their voices, so he stood outside the window and started gesturing.
Unfortunately, he had decayed to the point where only skin and flesh were left, and his limbs were extremely stiff. Even if he used all his strength, Du Yan could not receive his message through the window glass.
Just when Du Yan was thinking about whether to go down and see what these resentful ghosts wanted to do, something strange happened.
Everything was just like the last time they were trapped in the tunnel. Suddenly, there was a thunderous sound in the distance, and the bottom of the train was also shaking slightly. However, all this was a little different from the last time.
This time, the sound sounded particularly real, like a real landslide. Everyone in the carriage held their breath and waited for the sound that would only be heard when a landslide occurred to pass over.
Not sure how long it took, but the surroundings finally became quiet.
The broadcast in the carriage started to play again, but it had a static sound and the female voice coming from inside was also very old-fashioned, like the kind of voice that only appeared in movies from the 1960s and 1970s.
The sound of the broadcast was creepy, and the content was even more terrifying.
“Dear passengers, there is a landslide in the tunnel ahead. Please do not get off the train and wait patiently for rescue…”
Under the current circumstances, the content of this broadcast was so absurd that it was almost laughable.
Liang Fei said directly: “No, we can’t just sit here and wait for death. The train just happened to stop, let’s get off first.”
Xu Yuan pulled him back and said: “Don’t be too impulsive. We don’t know what the situation is outside right now.”
Zhou Tian nodded: “It looks scarier outside, but at least the light is on inside the carriage.”
This time, Wei Zizhe did not agree with her but said softly: “I think there might be a way out if we go down and take a look.”
Du Yan did not join their discussion but continued to look out the window. Just as he was wondering whether it was safer to get off the train or stay in it. The ghosts that were crowded in front of the carriage window suddenly dispersed to both sides. The nearby tunnel wall disappeared, replaced by a deep and seemingly endless darkness.
In the darkness, a faint light suddenly appeared, and a figure slowly walked out of the darkness. She was wearing a red wedding dress, and her figure was graceful.
Du Yan originally thought it was the ghost bride who had gone to reincarnate in the hotel. When he was wondering why she backed out and continued staying in this world, the figure was outside the window in an instant.
Du Yan was slightly stunned when he saw the ghost bride’s face clearly. The beautiful face in front of him was exactly the fierce ghost Fan Shi from the ancient village.
Seeing Du Yan looking at her, Fan Shi smiled slightly and then bowed. Perhaps Fan Shi’s level was much higher than those wandering ghosts beside her. Her soft voice penetrated the glass window and fell into Du Yan’s ears.
Fan Shi’s voice was not gentle and pleasant: “Du GongZi, Lord asked me to tell you something. It would be best if you get off the train here.”
Du Yan did not agree, but asked: “Lord? Who is your Lord?”
Fan Shi pursed her lips and smiled again and said softly: “I’m sorry, GongZi. I dare not reveal Lord’s identity without his approval. If you have any questions, you might as well ask him in person. After all, as long as it is your question, Lord will definitely tell you everything.”
Du Yan was not a fool. Since Fan Shi has spoken to this point, his guess has been confirmed to 70-80%. Unexpectedly, Xiao Lang had conquered Fan Shi in such a short period of time. But now that Xiao Lang has not come in person, it proves that he is not Ghost King yet and can not leave the refining formation for the time being.
Du Yan asked again: “Your Lord, is it Ghost King?”
Fan Shi replied: “No, although Lord has great potential, he can not be called Ghost King until he kills that person.”
At this point, Fan Shi blinked her eyes and smiled a little nervously: “GongZi, why don’t you get off the train first and talk later? I saw that your companions behind you are almost scared out of their wits by you.”
Hearing what Fan Shi said, Du Yan turned around and saw that everyone was staring at him in horror.
In this situation, it was inevitably a bit awkward. After all, other people couldn’t see Fan Shi, and Du Yan’s behavior just now was completely like a psychopath talking to himself in front of the glass window.
However, Du Yan was Du Yan, after all, and even in such an embarrassing situation, the expression on his face did not change at all.
He said calmly: “Get off the train. This carriage is not a place to stay for long. Staying here will only make it more dangerous.”
Everyone didn’t know why, especially the roommates who lived with Xiao Lang day and night, always felt that Xiao Lang in front of them was a little different from the previous one.
When he stood in the aisle and asked everyone to get out of the train coldly, even if he didn’t give any reason, people unconsciously wanted to do as he said.
Liang Fei suddenly said: “Xiao Lang, you look like a mysterious expert at first.”
Du Yan glanced at him and said: “Stop talking nonsense and get out of the train.”
The group walked directly to the carriage connection. The door of the train had been opened at some point. The dark tunnel made everyone a little hesitant.
Du Yan got out of the train and turned back to say: “Everyone, get off. If you stay up there, I don’t know what the weirdos in other compartments will do.”
When everyone heard this, they shuddered and quickly followed Du Yan out of the train. As soon as they got out of the train, everyone was stunned. Logically, they should be in the tunnel now.
After getting off the train, the first thing they saw should be the tunnel wall, but what appeared before them was a long and narrow passage.
The gateway of the passage was wide open on the tunnel wall, and the edges were not very regular, as if someone had roughly smashed it open with a sledgehammer.
Du Yan walked over, took a closer look, and said: “It should be the landslide that opened this entrance. The passage inside was built by humans, and it should have been sealed up later.”
Liang Fei was bold and came over to shine the light of his cell phone into the passage: “This looks like a tomb passage.”
After he said that, Zhou Tian took several steps back: “No, don’t go in, how about we just go forward along the tunnel?”
Du Yan shook his head: “The landslide just now was probably not fake. Even if we go forward along the tunnel, we will most likely see a tunnel blocked by boulders.”
Wei Zizhe was also a little hesitant: “Didn’t this happen last time? Maybe the sound of the landslide was just an auditory hallucination?”
After listening to this, Du Yan glanced at the train behind them and suddenly smiled. Although he was good-looking, in this situation, his smile made everyone shiver.
Liang Fei begged for mercy: “Bro, if you have something to say, just say it, don’t smile.”
Du Yan retracted his smile and said softly: “This tunnel is so long. If the ghost train behind you comes halfway through, what should we do?”
After hearing what he said, everyone looked back unconsciously.
This sight almost frightened them to death!
It turned out that the dark compartments had been lit up at some point, and those strange passengers all turned their heads to the glass, staring at the people standing in the tunnel with wooden faces.
“Oh my god! Go, go, go, hurry up.” Liang Fei screamed and dived into the passage in front of him.
The others didn’t say anything more and followed Liang Fei inside. Du Yan walked slowly at the end and even had time to take a look at the increasingly terrifying ghost train.
