Chapter 79 "Train in the Fog"
"She really looks like the snow girl in the story. The production team is also talented. Come over here, let me take a closer look..."
Colin waved to the "Snow Girl" floating in the air and asked it to come closer. Then he began to conduct further research and observation on the "Snow Girl" in order to know her thoroughly so as to better play her role .
Nearly thirty minutes later, Colin raised his hand wearing the ring with a slightly tired look, and put the "Snow Girl" who was obviously very beautiful but glaring at him fiercely into the ring.
This thing absorbs physical energy. Although it doesn't consume much, it is still a bit tiring.
Afterwards, Colin repaired the "Analysis Lens" again, and then took inventory of all the special props he currently had.
"Time·Stagnation", "Analysis Lens", "Turbid Energy Crystal", "Widow Snow Woman", "Revolver·Retrograde", "Law Book·Fragments", "Ring of the Flame Ruler", "False King", "Slave of Money", "Power of Gluttony·Mark", "Bone Spurs Made from the Arm of a Female Clergyman"...
Colin didn't know until he counted that the number of props he had on him had reached eleven.
The number held is comparable to those of senior E-level or even D-level employees.
As for the quality, it's a complete knock-off.
Moreover, in addition to these, he still has seven or eight thousand points, and he can add new items at any time to continue to strengthen himself.
Just by buying props with an E energy level starting at one or two thousand points, you can buy five or six more, and even ten of those cheap ones with poor effects!
"The mission should be stable."
Colin nodded secretly, and after eating the pork trotter meal, he took a shower and went to bed.
He hadn't had much rest for seven days and after operating the "Snow Girl", he was really sleepy.
…
October 24th, 6:40 pm.
Southern Suburbs Black Forest Underground Station.
It seemed that it had just rained. The air was fresh and moist, and there were many puddles on the road. A taxi came from a distance, ran over the potholes, and stopped in front of the subway station gate.
The car door opened, and Colin, wearing a loose black woolen windbreaker, got out of the car and looked around the old place he had left for many years.
"Not much has changed. This place is still that slow..."
Colin looked up and sighed. The strange yet familiar scene around him reminded him of the time he played Speed with other friends.
When the subway station was still under construction, he and other good-behaved friends in school formed a group to pick up unwanted "scrap copper and rotten iron" on the construction site and sell them for popsicles...
The popsicles are delicious, but people with bad behavior usually have a miserable end. They can only be taken home and eat fried meat with whips...
However, he did not reminisce for too long as a motorbike driver who came up to solicit passengers interrupted his recollection. Colin rejected their wave and walked straight towards the subway station gate.
When he came here today, he also collected some information about the Black Forest subway station from the Internet, but unfortunately the results were not very significant.
Then he removed the Black Forest subway station as a location and asked his colleagues about the "Train in the Fog".
Many people have sat on this thing...
After a brief understanding, you will probably know that the riding experience of this thing is different, but generally speaking, as long as it does not exceed three stops, there will not be any big problems.
The task required him to just sit for three stops.
After entering the subway station, Colin did not rush to buy a ticket. Instead, he strolled slowly inside the subway station, memorized the layout of the subway station, and then went to the ticket office to buy a ticket for the last subway train at 23:00 at the latest.
"Is the latest time eleven o'clock?"
Colin put away the ticket stub.
Then, he deliberately found a massage chair with no one around, unplugged the power cord, reached into his coat pocket with his left hand, pulled out a piece of parchment, shook it, spread out his hands, and began to read it as if no one was around.
It was not until 10:45 that the broadcast began to announce the last train for the first time.
In the entire waiting hall, only Colin stood up.
He came to Platform 1 alone.
“Boom boom boom~”
The last train at 11 o'clock in the evening arrived at the station on time after more than ten minutes.
But Colin did not go up and still stood there.
However, I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but after the last subway train left, everything on the platform within my sight began to distort, the bright gradually turned pale, and the colors were dazzling...
The atmosphere began to become weird.
"Is it coming?"
Colin squinted his eyes and noticed that the time was now eleven ten and the "fog train" would arrive in five minutes.
Another minute or two passed, and he suddenly noticed that there was some hazy smog floating in the subway station. It was very light, but it made people feel very uneasy.
The atmosphere around me became more and more depressing .
The flow of time seemed to have slowed down.
Colin found that after the fog appeared, he began to become distracted easily.
However, before he could think more.
"Clang~Clang~Clang~"
I heard the heavy sound of a train rolling over the rails.
At the same time, Colin suddenly noticed that the haze around him had become clearly visible, and everything around him, except him, seemed to be constantly disintegrating and decomposing.
Glass, walls, signboards, air, dust and microorganisms in the air, and even light, everything seemed to be dissipating and assimilating into wisps of grayish-white haze.
At this moment, he seemed not to be standing at the entrance of a subway station, but on an isolated island, surrounded by endless gray fog...
But this is not the key point, the key point is the upcoming train.
"This 'clang clang' sound... doesn't sound like a subway or high-speed rail, it's more like a train, but this is clearly a seamless track."
Colin listened.
The noise of the subway is quite different from this. At least it doesn't make a "clang-clang" sound, but a "rumble-rumble-rumble". After all, this track does not have gaps like the previous train tracks.
This train made a "clang" sound while running on the subway track. Does it mean that some changes have occurred in reality?
Just as Colin was lost in thought, a monotonous and pale train whistle sounded from the dark tunnel entrance, coming closer and closer.
As the sound rang out, the surrounding haze seemed to come alive, wriggling and twitching like flowing internal organs...
Soon, Colin saw a dim light emerging from the darkness of the tunnel. The light had an inexplicable evil nature and was approaching the platform rapidly with increasingly clear "clang" sounds.
Colin blinked and was startled to see an ancient train moving slowly in front of his sight.
It seemed like it would stop in a matter of seconds.
only……
How come this suddenly appeared before my eyes?
Colin's breathing stagnated, and he shook his head vigorously, and found that he seemed to have been distracted again?
He remembered that he should have seen the train coming out, but he had no memory of it coming out, as if the whole process of the train emerging from the tunnel and stopping was erased or omitted by some force.
So much so that the last memory fragment was seeing the lights in the tunnel...
In the blink of an eye, the train stopped in front of us.
