Chapter 393: The Gambler (39)
In the blink of an eye, a train that could not get into the back of the train stopped in front of us. The train doors opened, and no one got off, except for the train honking again, as if urging the waiting people to get on the train quickly. I followed Bai Xuan and stepped on the train.
Worry-free walked to the front, as soon as he got on the bus, he showed the hole card to the ticket inspector next to him, the ticket inspector took three cards, after confirming that it was the two of us, he tore off the ticket stub and handed it to worry-free, and the remaining part was put into a very peculiar cloth bag on his chest. The ticket inspector wore a very heavy hat, high, and when he saw his eyes, he even covered his nose, and his face could only show a red lip, red as blood, as if dyed with a thick layer of red paint. His hidden eyes seemed to be alertly sweeping away the three of us, and he had been maintaining a ceremonial attitude as if nothing had happened. Dressed in a black uniform, it was heavily placed on him. At first glance, he gave me the impression that it was dark and eerie. Just like this train, there were no seats in sight all around, just a muddy darkness. I went to the troubled mind, I can't be cranky at this time, I'm afraid I'll get into trouble with something bad.
After reading our bill, he nodded slightly to us. Then we were quickly taken into a carriage, and as soon as we stepped into the carriage, we saw a different scene in front of us. The layout here is very elegant, the floor is made of elm flat, covered with a large plush carpet, I saw that Worry-free took off his shoes at the door, put them in the small cabinet next to him, and did the same as Worry-free just now. Stepping on a fluffy carpet is really like stepping on cotton, and this feeling seems to be something and nothing, and it is impossible to speak clearly. There are a few small potted plants in the room, which are blooming brightly, like the type of rose, but if you look closely, you don't think it's a rose, but it looks like something on the surface. This carriage is more like a small room, an independent existence, and there are only the three of us in it. It was so quiet that I couldn't hear the engine of the train. I think that's weird. When I first got on the train, I heard a deafening rumbling sound, and as soon as I arrived at the carriage and closed the door, all the noise suddenly disappeared, and I couldn't hear it at all.
Sure enough, it was a VIP room. Why do you say that, because the door number is hung with the words "Tiandi No. 3 VIP Room", I also found out after a glance when I looked up. The furnishings of this room are closer to the classical aesthetic, everything is mainly woodwork, even the coffee table is made of fine and bulky solid wood. Rectangle, with three corresponding wooden chairs, red apples and yellow oranges in the middle, and two plates of candy, seem to be for us to enjoy. But can you eat the things in this car? I didn't dare to do it immediately, but pointed to the table of "food" and asked, "Don't worry, can you eat those things?"
Worry-free nodded, "I can eat it, it's all specially prepared for us, these things are things in the world, eat it with confidence." When he said this, it was right in my heart, and at this moment my stomach sang "Empty City Plan", and seriously, if he told me that these delicacies could only be watched and not eaten, I would probably be puzzled to death.
"If you're hungry, eat first, and we'll eat the main meal when we get home. Bai Xuanzhi added, he walked to the incense burner in the opposite cabinet and lit sandalwood. A smell of sandalwood came to my nose, and somehow, when I smelled this smell, I felt inexplicably calm, and the previous nervous emotions had long been forgotten.
"This kind of sandalwood is a good thing, it can concentrate and relieve fatigue, relieve nerves, and prolong life, you can't find this kind of good color in the world, this sandalwood can only be enjoyed in the expensive carriage of the Netherworld Train. Don't waste it, let's just light it, it's for us anyway. Everything in this house can be enjoyed, but not at all, you can't walk out of this door at will, go out, encounter danger, the people in the car will not be able to control. I have to warn you of that. Worry-free, he closed his eyes and rested, leaned back in his chair, and enjoyed himself leisurely. A deep serenity filled him inside and out.
This sorrowful is really a weirdo, not to mention the mystery of his identity, every time he appears, he is quiet, and he leaves quietly, no one knows when he will appear, or what the purpose of his appearance is, everything about him is a mystery. Even Bai Xuanzhi couldn't figure out the worry-free past, and he only knew a little about it. What Bai Xuanzhi knew was only the rumors about him on the market, and at a deeper level, he was also very confused. Bai Xuanzhi also said this point, worry-free is a mysterious existence. Worry-free gives people the feeling of being confused and confused. It's impossible to guess, or even inaccurate.
Bai Xuanzhi sat on a chair and ate an apple alone. There wasn't much of an emotional change on his calm face. I asked in a soothing tone, "Bai Xuanzhi, how long did you say we had been away from the world? Am I delusional?" I picked up an orange, cracked the skin, and began to eat.
Bai Xuanzhi stopped his movements, and he replied to me very frankly: "No, it's just more than an hour over there, and it hasn't been delayed for too long, you feel like you've been here for a long time, because the time in this world is frozen and immovable, and the scenes you see next to the station are permanent, there are no withered flowers, no changes of the four seasons, and even that round of sunset is frozen there, it won't rise or set." That's it, the view that never changes. It is also known as the 'Eternal Kingdom'. After Bai Xuanzhi finished speaking, he continued to enjoy his apple. To tell the truth, he must have been hungry too, and he dragged me for such a long run, without even complaining. It was me, complaining all the way, thinking like this, I couldn't help but blush, and lowered my head slightly in shame.
"There is one more thing you don't know, if you can't wait for this Nether Train here, then you can only stay here forever, not living or dying, and waiting, I don't know what year or month, until this train comes. Worry-free suddenly opened his eyes, he smiled at us, and closed his eyes again.
"Is there a time when this train still has this route? Bai Xuanzhi glanced at him, and he became a little nervous, but the heaviness on his face covered a trace of panic in his heart. Chou Wuwu didn't explain much this time, just simply hummed and closed his mouth again, contemplating intently, not knowing what he was thinking.
"I see, thank you in advance. I kind of know what's going on. Bai Xuanzhi said as if he suddenly realized. I'm just at a loss for words, confused.
