Chapter 3: Darkness is Coming
"It's okay, this thing looks so scary, it's better to lose it. The glasses girl whispered softly to the little girl.
Lighting the cigarette again, the migrant worker uncle bit off the dead skin on his lips and whispered: "I think that baby has great wisdom, and then listen to what he wants to do." ”
Everyone's eyes were focused on Ling Yi, he just smiled at everyone and didn't say anything.
"Anyway, I'd like to go to the cab. ”
The man in white got up quietly and looked around: "Is there anyone willing to go with me?"
As far as the eye could see, the women in suits and the tall boys all bowed their heads......
"I'll go with you!"
The strong man got up and walked to the man in white, and the corners of his mouth crooked: "I don't believe that it can turn the sky upside down!"
Ling Yi silently put away the envelope, and only the sound of the train moving on the tracks could be heard in his ears.
Seeing the two leave the carriage, the woman in the suit breathed a sigh of relief: "I think that man is more terrifying than a ghost...... If it weren't for the letter saying that playing games would keep me young forever, I wouldn't be able to get together with this kind of person. ”
Don't say that again when he returns. Ling Yi pushed his glasses and kindly reminded her.
"What's the matter? How dare he kill someone!" the woman in the suit threw her briefcase on the couch, her face full of resentment.
"Each of us came here with different temptations, I want to heal, you want to be young...... And his reasons are purer than ours. Ling Yi clasped his hands together and looked coldly at the junction of the carriage.
"You know him?"
The tall boy seemed to be interested, and sat down on the other side of Ling Yi: "Tell me, why did he come here?"
Ling Yi did not shy away from it, and said bluntly: "Three days ago, there was a murder case in a southern town, and it is reported that the murderer was wearing a red shirt, short hair, 1.8 meters tall, bearded, sturdy figure, and tattoos. ”
As soon as she heard this, the first woman in the suit couldn't sit still: "One meter eight, strong body...... Could it be that he is the ......?"
Ling nodded.
"Won't you...... We're staying with the murderer!" the tall boy grew out in shock, "but how do you know about such a thing?"
Ling Yi did not explain this.
As a detective, in addition to his meticulous logical thinking, Ling Yi also has the ability to remember everything he has seen or heard about in his mind.
And the murder case in the southern town was one of the last cases Ling Yi had seen before he was ready to leave the circle.
"If you don't believe me, you can look at the phone on his desk, there is no calling card at all. Ling Yi gave a simple hint.
Looking at the old-fashioned mobile phone that the strong man had dropped on the table before, the tall boy pursed his lips, hesitated for a few seconds, and still reached out to pick it up.
As the tall boy put down his phone in horror, Ling Yi said, "The content of his letter should be, completing the game to avoid prison, or other life-saving conditions." ”
"Therefore, the conditions for our survival are not only limited to this mysterious train, but also to watch out for dangerous people. ”
This is Ling Yi's summary of this game.
"But...... He's here, we're all in danger......"
The cowardly man who had not spoken suddenly spoke, he looked at Ling Yi: "Is there no better way?"
"A better way?" Ling Yi looked at the thin man and suddenly smiled, "You mean, kill him?"
"I didn't say it!"
The cowardly man shook his head like crazy, as if he had been frightened by some kind of shock: "I, me, I...... I didn't say it, you said it!"
With a sneer, Ling Yi ignored him, and at the same time, he also noticed that the little girl beside him had a very bad complexion, and seemed to be in extreme fear.
"Are you alright?"
The glasses girl kept holding the little girl's hand and comforted: "Don't be afraid, there are brothers and sisters here, maybe when the train arrives, we can all go out." ”
The little girl's complexion improved slightly, and she nodded vigorously.
"I don't know what to do, when I was a head......
The migrant worker uncle threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stepped on it, shaking his head one after another.
When the smoke drifted away, the lights of the carriage suddenly began to flicker violently, accompanied by the piercing screams of the girls, and the whole carriage fell into darkness!
At the same time, the carriage began to shake violently, and Ling Yi grabbed the square table in front of him with all his might, keeping himself from falling to the ground.
"All to ......"
The sound of heavy objects stomping on the floor of the carriage sounded, and Ling Yi felt the wind wrinkling around him, as if a giant was running wildly between the narrow aisles!
"Ah!!h
The woman's shrill screams rang out again, accompanied by the vibrating of glass, as if something was constantly pounding on the roof of the train!
The sound of violent objects hitting kept coming, and Ling Yi wanted to get up to check, but there was no light source in the dark!
"You let go of me!"
"Help!"
"Ah...... Woo!"
It's the voice of a woman in a suit!
Ling Yi immediately recognized this timbre, it was the woman in the suit!
Crawling towards the source of the sound, Ling Yi bumped into something and fell to the ground!
Due to the torture of illness, Ling Yi's physical fitness at this time had dropped to a low point, and he couldn't get up for half a day when he fell to the ground at this moment.
"Help me...... Help me!"
The voice of the woman in the suit grew fainter and weaker, until it finally disappeared.
"Buzz ......"
The sound of electronic transmission sounded, the lights of the carriage flashed twice, and the entire space was lit up.
"Husband...... Woo......"
The glasses woman howled and ran into the arms of the tall man like crazy, and the tall man's face was pale at this time, and his whole body was as stiff as a dead corpse.
"Save people first!"
Ling Yi lay on the ground, trying to point to where the woman in the suit was before.
The migrant worker uncle ran over quickly, but only saw a pool of blood stains on the ground, and there was still a woman in a suit!
"This ......"
The little girl helped Ling Yi up, and everyone in the carriage also gathered over, but in the position where the woman in the suit was before, except for the briefcase lying quietly on the sofa, there was no trace of the person!
"Where's she? I just heard her crying for help...... "The woman in glasses hugged her boyfriend's waist and didn't leave an inch.
Ling Yi closed his eyes and carefully recalled the scene when the lights had just been turned off......
There was no sound of the door opening, and the windows were intact, ruling out the possibility of her escaping...... If you think of it as a closed secret room, how did the murderer manage to kill in such a short time, and where was the body of the deceased hidden?
"No...... Not right......"
Ling Yi quickly rejected his idea.
These logics are only relative to the real world, but this train has clearly gone beyond the scope of reality!
This is the scene of the first crime, and apart from a puddle of blood, no useful evidence remains......
Kill, hide the body, leave no trace...... In a very short period of time, in the crowded crowd, even if the corpse is destroyed, it is too late......
"Look!"
The exclamation of the glasses girl pulled Ling Yi's thoughts back, and following the direction of her finger, Ling Yi saw that the electronic watch above the carriage had become 0:05!
After checking his watch, Ling was convinced at first that this was not an ordinary homicide at all!
And this murderer is not a person at all!
Ling Yi's heart began to beat violently, and if his conjecture was correct, then he ...... No, even everyone on this train is going to die!
"Big living person, if you say no, it's gone!"
The tall boy even began to tremble in the tone of his voice at this point, and anyone could hear his visceral fear.
"Husband, let's stop playing, okay! Let's go home!"
The glasses woman kept sobbing, and she took her boyfriend's hand and was about to look out.
"......Go home," the tall boy muttered, "what's going on...... We can't go back......"
Hearing him say this, the glasses girl cried even louder: "I just said don't come, you want to come, what should I do now!"
Pushing the glasses woman to the ground, the tall man's eyes were full of despair, and he roared: "If you don't come, can we live if we don't come?"
The woman with glasses wiped away her tears, got up and grabbed her boyfriend's collar, and her voice was hoarse: "You are starting to complain about me now! If you hadn't knelt down and begged me, would I have agreed to have a relationship with you?"
"Good...... Great!"
The tall boy suddenly laughed, he grabbed the wrist of the glasses woman, and sneered: "It's all my fault, isn't it......? Here, show everyone what is written on that letter!"
The glasses woman suddenly turned pale, she wanted to retreat but was dragged by her boyfriend.
"Come on, read it out loud!" the tall man laughed maniacally, "Chaste martyr, ha!"
"You peek at my stuff, you shameless!"
The glasses woman became furious and fought with the tall man: "You poor bastard, you deserve to be green!"
"You fool around with those idle guys every day, and you are reasonable? What's the matter, I Zhang Yang just makes you look down on you like this, right? You eat things inside and out!"
The tall man kicked the glasses woman to the ground, then ruffled her hair, and said frantically: "When you are sick, you know that you are looking for me to get money, what have you thought about a long time ago?
"You let go of me, you scumbag!"
A couple who were originally harmonious and loving turned their eyes upside down at this time, only Ling Yi silently took the briefcase of the woman in the suit and looked at the contents inside.
