Zhao Yi certainly wasn't naive enough to think the Old Lady would let him go.
But for now, he couldn't kill her.
The Old Lady's head was the key to dealing with the train conductor!
The Ghost Candle in his hand was about to burn out!
The stone-paved floor beneath him grew increasingly sticky, and black water began to slowly seep out.
Where Zhao Yi stepped, large patches of decayed flesh were pulled up.
The distant walls started to crumble, revealing skeletons within!
Those structures... were actually built from human corpses!
This station...
The source of this horror... was slowly awakening!
Ahead, a towering, enraged Evil Spirit was charging at him like a madman!
It was the Ghost Security Guard!
His clothes were in tatters, and his ghostly face was filled with extreme anger!
Something foolish had attacked the control room while he was away for just a moment!
The master was already displeased, and if he didn't resolve this quickly, once the master fully awakened, he might face utter destruction!
He had no time to deal with anything on the way, and naturally didn't notice the rotting human head Zhao Yi was carrying.
As they brushed past each other, the Ghost Security Guard turned back, a hint of confusion and foreboding in his mind.
He saw Zhao Yi also turn his head, a strange smile on his face.
For a moment, the ghost shivered.
A chill ran through its body.
In the next instant, they disappeared from each other's sight, merging into the darkness.
Quickly reaching the train entrance, Zhao Yi saw Bai Shuiji anxiously looking out the door. The cart given by the Warehouse Ghost had been flung somewhere unknown, and everything around was starting to melt. The once normal station was gradually transforming into a decaying, fleshy space!
Zhao Yi knew they didn't have much time left!
If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.
He immediately returned to the first carriage of the G19 train, ready to move the wooden table. On the table, a human head was impaled with three half-burned candles, better than Zhao Yi had expected.
"Damn it, you're finally back, I was just about to..."
Wen Long, wearing nothing but leopard-print briefs, was about to curse Zhao Yi, but seeing the rotting ghost head in Zhao Yi's hand, he swallowed his words.
"...was just about to thank you!"
Zhao Yi ignored him, took stock of the people in the station, and asked:
"Did anything unusual happen during this time?"
Everyone exchanged glances and shook their heads.
"The ghosts in the station are quite well-behaved."
"They don't seem hostile towards us."
"Almost no terrifying specters have come in from outside."
Wang Xu quickly explained the situation and inquired about the outside of the train.
Zhao Yi casually replied:
"Nothing, just normal occurrences."
At this moment, the darkness outside the train was receding, and everyone could barely see the station outside, which was gradually rotting, stinking, and deforming...
Damn normal occurrences...
Wang Xu knew Zhao Yi was somewhat mentally unstable, but at this point, he didn't dare say anything, only grumbling internally.
"Bring out any weapons you have, it's time to make a move!"
Zhao Yi pulled out a Scalpel and headed towards the driver's cabin. The other players quickly stopped him.
"Didn't the clue say not to enter the driver's cabin?"
Wen Long was stunned.
Zhao Yi placed his hand on the driver's cabin door handle and shouted:
"What did you say?"
"I didn't hear you!"
Wen Long: "..."
In the next moment, he directly twisted open the driver's cabin door!
The horrifying scene before them left everyone frozen, cold sweat forming on their foreheads!
Inside the driver's cabin appeared a robust, two-bodied Evil Spirit intertwined together!
Their flesh and blood were tangled like plant roots, one ghost's hand embedded in the other's chest, while the other's sharp tongue pierced the eye of the adjacent specter!
The appearance of this sanity-draining specter made everyone immediately rush to grab the Ghost Candle on the table!
As long as they had the Ghost Candle, no matter how terrifying the specter, it couldn't attack them!
Wang Xu, being the closest, was the first to move!
However, as soon as his hand reached out, Zhao Yi directly sliced it off!
Blood splattered!
Before Wang Xu could react, he saw colorful vines growing from the wound on his forearm!
Immediately, excruciating pain shot through his brain, and Wang Xu rolled on the ground, screaming until he passed out!
Zhao Yi looked at the players present, smiling:
"No one is allowed to touch the Ghost Candle on the table."
Qin Xiufang nervously watched the specter in the driver's cabin that could charge out at any moment. Her old face showed a trace of madness as she pulled out a small pistol, aiming it at Zhao Yi's head, and shouted:
"Hand over the Ghost Candle, or I'll blow your head off!"
This Old Lady was clearly ruthless!
She stared intently at Zhao Yi, ready to shoot if he showed any sign of attacking her!
However, she didn't expect Bai Shuiji behind her to suddenly strike, punching her in the temple. As Qin Xiufang was dazed, Bai Shuiji knocked her down and violently broke her arms!
Looking at the Old Lady on the ground with bulging eyes and a face twisted with malice, Bai Shuiji panted and said:
"Sorry, Granny... I choose to trust Zhao Yi."
The two terrifying Fierce Ghosts in the driver's cabin slowly crawled out, their oppressive presence making everyone's legs weak, their blood-red eyes filled with extreme violence!
This ghost's terror was no less than the Ghost Security Guard!
"Who... allowed you to open the driver's cabin door?"
Two voices filled with resentment and coldness intertwined in a jarring manner, hoarse and piercing!
The Crew Member stood nearby, composed, watching everything coldly.
Facing this extremely powerful specter, Zhao Yi showed no fear. He took out the train conductor's mother's head and pressed the Scalpel to her eye.
"Start the train, I'll only say it once."
Zhao Yi stared into the specter's eyes, his calm tone carrying an undeniable authority.
Seeing the trembling ghost head, the train conductor seemed to regain some clarity.
"Mother... Mother?"
The ghost head didn't respond.
She had long fallen into a monster under the corrosive power of the station, remembering nothing of her past life!
Zhao Yi looked at the train conductor, who had partially regained his senses, and said:
"Your mother has been controlled by 'its' power. If you want her to return to her former self, you must leave here!"
"'It' is about to awaken!"
"If you don't want to see your mother die again, then... start the train quickly!"
The train conductor, hearing this, seemed to awaken from a dream. He glanced at the station outside, which was gradually turning into a hellish scene of flesh and blood, and immediately headed towards the driver's cabin!
However, just as he was about to enter the cabin, the ghost hand embedded in his chest pulled out and suddenly clamped onto the door!
The hideous Evil Spirit intertwined with the train conductor sneered:
"Want to leave?"
"Back then, I told you to leave, but you didn't, wanting the whole train to accompany that old thing of yours to the grave..."
"Fine!"
"Today, none of you will leave either!"
"I'll drag you all... to the grave with me!!!"
PS: Goodnight, everyone.
