Chapter 370: Arrival at the Real Area of the "Ghost Train"
"This time, the train didn't move again, but the door still opened. It felt like it came on its own?"
Colin stared at the front with full concentration, not daring to be careless.
Behind the foggy door leading to the eighth carriage, the dim light was still there, and some subtle noises could be heard...
It sounded like someone was whispering, or like a crazy, bizarre dream talk.
Beside Colin, the "Son of Sexual Abuse" and others were looking over there, their bodies a little stiff, not daring to breathe, for fear of disturbing something.
This time, compared to the previous few carriages, the eighth carriage always gives people an inexplicable sense of weirdness.
"I always feel that the things over there are in a distorted state..."
Colin narrowed his eyes. The gate he saw seemed relatively normal.
But in my mind, the fog door seemed to be constantly wriggling.
If you listen carefully to those people's voices, you will find that they are not the words of normal people at all. They are all disordered and strange roars. Even Colin will feel uncomfortable if he hears them too much.
And I sincerely felt an indescribable palpitation...
Obviously, things may change unexpectedly after the eighth carriage starts.
However, the only thing to be thankful for now is.
Ten minutes passed, and the D-class personnel behind the door did not break in.
"Normally, they would have noticed it in less than five minutes, but this time, that didn't seem to be the case."
While Colin was analyzing the current situation in his mind, he was also alert to the location of the fog gate.
Then, several dozen minutes passed slowly, and the time came to thirty minutes.
The continuous whispers suddenly disappeared...
Soon after, there was a sound of glass falling to the ground and shattering, which made several people present feel a pang in their hearts.
At the same time, several people looked towards the fog door of the eighth carriage again.
At this moment, some kind of inhuman roars came from the other side, making the entire fog gate look even more distorted.
In the brain, it is like a vortex...
And from this vortex, there was some kind of indescribable breath that seemed to be slowly flowing out from it.
However, under the light of the Fire Bearer's flame, all those invisible things evaporated.
"Tsk, this time when we go in, I'm afraid we'll be able to experience the true horror of a D-level employee losing control."
Colin pursed his lips and had some guesses about what was coming next.
Nowadays, when the D-class personnel on the train lose control and go crazy, they are just showing madness, and there is nothing weird about it. The reason for this is probably because the company removed those dangerous things when making the "copy".
But after the eighth carriage, something seemed to be wrong.
For the first time, Colin sensed the definite "contamination".
If you go in, the D-level employees you meet will most likely not be in the "three points weaker than the darkest" state.
However, Colin felt somewhat relieved when he felt some of the air evaporate under the firelight.
This shows that his flame can indeed dispel these things.
Fortunately, after more than ten minutes, although the fog door looked more and more distorted, Colin was basically certain that the abnormal employee in the eighth carriage would not come over...
At this time, seeing the horrified look on the face of the "Son of Sexual Abuse" beside him, Colin thought for a moment and whispered to comfort him in the campfire:
"If nothing unexpected happens, we just need to stand here and they won't come over."
After hearing Colin's words, several people looked at the flame and nodded, feeling more relieved.
They were not as well-informed as Brother Shunzi. After feeling the strange and frightening aura behind the fog gate, they always felt like they were standing on the edge of a cliff, or on the top of a building dozens of stories high, looking down...
That kind of throbbing was particularly disturbing, and what was even more disturbing was that they inexplicably had the idea of "jumping off" from the building constantly brewing in their hearts.
Fortunately, there was a bonfire burning beside them, which allowed them to suppress such thoughts.
And from Brother Shunzi's perspective, since he said it was okay, then it should be okay...
However, just as they were about to let go of their worries, they suddenly noticed that Brother Shunzi's expression changed slightly.
At the same time, before they could ask what was going on, they heard a series of horrible and inhuman screams coming from behind the fog gate.
Accompanied by a lot of messy footsteps, all the out-of-control employees in the eighth carriage started moving.
"what happened?"
Colin subconsciously grasped the Time Stop Gold Card with his left hand and pulled out the bone spur from his pocket with his right hand. At the same time, the flames behind his head swelled with a roar.
However, the scene of a large number of abnormal employees rushing out of the fog door to attack did not appear.
Instead, the sound of fighting was heard in the eighth carriage.
“Ding ding ding!”
Amid the sound of some heavy metal weapon colliding with the surroundings, terrible vibrations were heard.
"Hiss, what has invaded the eighth carriage?"
Ke Linhuo stood up at once, feeling heavy-hearted. He could sense that the guy who was fighting with the abnormally out-of-control employee was very strong...
The entire eighth carriage sounded as if it was about to be scrapped at any time.
The battle did not last long. After only three minutes, everything seemed to be settled.
From the slightly staggering footsteps, one can tell...
The winner should be the one who just broke into the train car.
and……
After dealing with the out-of-control employee, it walked towards the fog door of the seventh carriage.
Colin's face was solemn. He held his breath for a moment, and without hesitation and decisively used several "colorless crystals" to put himself into a state of full energy.
And the "Son of Sexual Abuse" and others have also made plans to hide in the corner and do nothing.
However, just when Colin thought that the battle was inevitable...
The figure who was dragging some heavy metal weapon and walking towards them step by step, his footsteps finally stopped behind the fog gate.
Following...
A very hoarse and painful voice was heard, as if someone was suppressing something.
"……leave……"
"...You...can't solve it..."
"Leave... here... it's dangerous..."
“…”
Leave? Colin frowned, not knowing how to respond.
He had some guesses about the guy behind the fog gate.
"There is a high probability that it was the only C-level employee on the train. The D-level employees who were able to predict their fate were able to rely on their own characteristics to discover the fact that they had become NPCs. So there is a high probability that the C-level employee who had a qualitative change in his life level must have some special characteristics. There is no reason why he couldn't discover this."
"Oh, right? The one who helped me when I was about to give up in the fifth carriage, as mentioned by 'Life Mentor Keaiduo', is this him?"
"So, although this C-class colleague was also contaminated, he was able to maintain a certain state, instead of going crazy without any resistance like the other D-class?"
Thoughts flashed through Colin's mind.
However, at this moment, it seemed that they were not leaving yet...
The voices behind the fog gate began to become a little crazy and impatient.
"Leave! Leave! Leave!"
“Get out of here!!”
"leave!!!"
The husky voice suddenly became repetitive and impatient.
"Sorry, brother. It's not that we don't want to leave, but we really can't leave."
Colin muttered to himself, and the fireball behind his head expanded further, with a large amount of flames dropping down, as if to ignite his body as well.
At the same time, there was no response after shouting several times.
The figure behind the fog gate moved again, as if if they didn't leave, he was going to send them "away" personally...
The entire fog gate was horribly twisted at this moment.
Then, a few seconds later...
A pitch-black, cracked hand stretched out from the center of the swirling fog gate.
An extremely terrifying weirdness spread from the palm of the hand...
However, just as his palm entered the range of the fire, it suddenly retracted.
And then...
Colin, who was ready for battle, heard it.
That guy...left?
The heavy footsteps gradually faded away and soon disappeared completely.
The fog gate, which had almost turned into a vortex, returned to its original state at this moment.
"What does this mean? Are you going to let us go?" Seeing this, "Son of Sexual Abuse" and others couldn't help but be surprised. They couldn't quite understand why the other party left so decisively.
At this moment, they felt quite uneasy as if they saw the enemy appear behind them in the blink of an eye.
However, Colin was certain that the other party had really left.
"According to what he said, he probably felt that we were not strong enough, so he asked us to leave. However, maybe because he felt something when he reached out his hand just now, he... acknowledged our strength."
Raising his hand and touching his chin, Colin spoke thoughtfully.
He saw it very clearly, and the reason why the other party retreated was most likely because they sensed the breath of the "bonfire".
However, there were some questions that he didn't quite understand.
"Assuming this guy is really a C-level employee and the company's target is him, then wasn't that a good opportunity to make contact?"
"But judging from the mission situation, the company does not seem to have any plans to continue with the subsequent carriages or contact the other party."
Colin frowned slightly.
In this case, either the company's target is not C-level personnel, but something else, or the guy in the eighth carriage who was trying to persuade a suspected C-level employee to quit was not actually a C-level employee...
After thinking for a while, I felt that both possibilities were possible, and there were too many variables.
So Colin didn't think about it any further.
With the departure of the "dissuading man", the seventh carriage returned to its previous peace and tranquility.
But, as time passed, when it came to the last hour.
The sound of the electric current flashed by...
In the huge carriage, the fog doors opened one after another, and the began to dim at this moment.
As the lights fade...
The gray fog that had been outside the carriage slowly dissipated.
This speed is not fast...
Moreover, as problems occurred in the two things, they both physically and mentally felt as if the carriage was slowly falling "downwards".
"According to this progress, the lights will go out in an hour, and the fog should also dissipate at that time. Well, overall, it will be the end of the third hour required by the mission..."
"And there's this feeling of falling, like taking an elevator..."
"It seems that, as that D-class personnel who was similar to the 'fortune-telling' said, the company intends to use this as a springboard to enter the real disaster site?"
Colin guessed secretly, then increased the intensity of the flames.
He remembered that the mission description mentioned that the company had found the missing person and learned about the situation here, and even made a copy of it as a promotion mission to test new employees...
But it seems that there is no mention of the company's final .
Now let’s look at…
It seemed like the company didn’t have everything sorted out at the time?
"Is it intentional, or are there no personnel available?"
In Colin's opinion, with the company's combat power at its peak, it would definitely be impossible for them to fail to resolve the anomaly here. Not to mention the three giants of the company, even if they asked Rosen, the Jinchūriki in charge of "0-09·Hunger", to come over, they could definitely handle it.
The mission description also mentioned that the company attaches great importance to this matter and there is a high probability that high-end combat forces will be dispatched.
However, the company did not seem to completely solve this problem in the end...
So, there is a high probability that it was retained intentionally, but the specific reason is not very clear.
However, there is no time to think too much at this moment.
The time is almost up...
As the lights in the train compartment gradually dimmed, it looked increasingly dilapidated.
Shaking his head secretly, Colin retracted the thought and looked around vigilantly while staring at the countdown in his mind.
Finally, after a few minutes, the countdown ended.
The lights inside the train went out completely.
Advent complete.
Colin and the others did not care about completing their mission. They all looked through the train compartments, using the light from the fire to observe the situation outside.
It was an extremely empty and desolate place, and the surrounding scene appeared gray in the firelight.
In the gloom, there were a lot of sticky, meat-like things wriggling.
However, before they could take a closer look at the situation, something strange happened.
Bang.
A huge piece of flesh covered with blood suddenly broke through the door on the right side of the train compartment. On the piece of flesh, there was a very simple and sloppy face, as if it was drawn casually.
The facial features are chubby and squeezed together like a baby's.
Seeing something coming, Colin prepared to take action without saying a word.
"Friends... good friends... are you friends..." A childish, childish voice came out from the mouth of the scribbled human face.
"friend?"
Colin's face showed a strange color. He stopped what he was doing, hesitated for a moment, looked at the big piece of meat squeezed at the door and asked, "Who are you?"
As he spoke, he sniffed and soon smelled some familiar smells in the air——
This monster... is made of human flesh?
"Friends, friends... Are you friends?" The piece of meat that spoke in a child's voice did not answer, but just crowded at the door, repeating monotonous words, without showing any malice or hostility.
Do I have to answer whether or not we are friends before there will be any further response?
Colin thought for a moment, and felt that there was no great danger, so he replied, "Yes, we are friends."
As soon as he finished speaking, the whole piece of meat trembled, and then he shouted in joy in a childish voice: "Great, I have friends, good friends, good friends... Delicious... Delicious..."
"Well, we are good friends. Can you tell me what happened here?" Colin immediately tried to ask.
But as soon as I finished speaking, I realized something was wrong...
"Hmm? Good friend, delicious?"
As the thought turned to his mind, Colin's eyes suddenly flashed and he saw.
The big piece of meat, which seemed harmless just now, suddenly opened its mouth several meters wide and pounced on them.
