Chapter 4: Stargate I
Two worlds separated by an iron gate!
This was the first feeling of Xingle after stepping through the iron gate.
There was still a brightly lit waiting room inside the iron gate, but outside the iron gate was a desolation.
The ground in front of me was barren and full of rocks, and a railroad track passed through the pile of rocks, extending into the darkness thirty meters away.
There was no platform, only a lone electric pole stood there, a sign hung on the pole, and a street lamp emitting a dim yellow light was lit at the top.
The cold night wind was blowing, and the sound sounded like there were many people whispering, happy or angry.
Xingle felt that he was the only one left in the whole world at this time, and he panicked.
Without the ability to perceive the surroundings, the reminder of the blind old man must be justified.
Xingle just wanted to hurry under the street lamp, and the dim light was the only place where he felt safe.
Dragging the injured body, it took three minutes to travel a short distance of more than ten meters from the iron gate to the electric pole.
Xingle looked up at the sign on the pole, the sign was a little strange, I don't know what material it was made of.
There is a picture engraved on the sign, like a starry sky map, and there are many black dots on the whole picture, but one of them is red, which is very conspicuous.
Underneath the starry sky map is a line of words:
【Eternal Star: Awakening Town】
There should be no of these words on the brand at first, it is estimated that they were written later, the words are the traditional Chinese characters of Yanguo, the color is already very light, and it is difficult to see clearly without looking carefully.
Just as Xingle guessed what the red dots on the starry sky map meant, the train's unique whistle sounded, and two points of light, from far and near, broke through the darkness.
"Filth~"
With a few successive whistles, the huge front of the train stopped right in front of Xingle, and the steam rose and the heat wave came to the nose.
The cab at the front of the car was pitch black, there was no light, there was no trace of a human figure, and when you looked back along the front of the car, there was no light in the back compartment, and only a vague silhouette could be seen.
The whole train, if the headlights weren't still on, Xingle felt that he would definitely turn around and run, this scene was too weird.
The front cab didn't find the door, Xingle calmed down a little, walked a car back to find the open door, plucked up his courage, and walked up.
As soon as the front foot got on the train, the door closed silently, and there seemed to be a pair of invisible hands manipulating it.
Take things as they come.
Xingle can only comfort himself in his heart, he has no way out, and moving forward is the only way.
The carriage was quiet, nothing could be seen, there should be no one, Xingle stood at the door, did not go into the carriage, but had already taken the water pipe in the box in his hand.
"Filth~"
The train started without a hint of bumps, and soon drove into the darkness, so fast that Xingle didn't have a chance to say goodbye to Awakening Town.
Feeling weaker and weaker, Xingle was ready to sit on the ground and rest against the wall of the carriage.
"Go inside and sit, there's a seat inside. ”
A voice suddenly sounded in the dark carriage, eerie and terrifying to hear.
Xingle was excited, without thinking, the water pipe in his hand was smashed to the side, he heard it clearly, the voice was beside him just now.
"Bang!"
The water pipe smashed directly into the wall of the carriage, and there was nothing beside him.
"Go inside and sit, there's a seat inside. ”
The voice sounded again, and it seemed to be a little more rapid than before, and it seemed to be in the tone of command.
"Come out, don't pretend to be a ghost!"
Xingle shouted, and slammed it again towards the place where the sound came from.
There was another sound of metal clashing, and the hose still didn't touch anything, but still smashed against the wall of the carriage.
This time, the voice didn't sound again, until Xingle couldn't hold on anymore and fell asleep in a daze, and nothing strange happened in the carriage.
Xingle dreamed, there was more than one, every dream was so real, and every dream made him feel excited.
[The sky was as red as fire, as if it was burning, countless meteors smashed into the earth, as if the end was coming, he was running desperately, a pair of blood-red huge eyes appeared next to him, followed by a bloody mouth, swallowing himself in one bite, and there was darkness in front of him for an instant. 】
[I can't hold on, I really don't want to die!] After a loud bang, there was darkness in front of me again. 】
[There are many tombstones, as far as the eye can see. Whose tears are they?Who is talking?There is no one on the left, no one on the right, no one in the front, no one in the back, who is hiding from talking, you come out!]
Light, there is light......
Xingle woke up, and when he opened his eyes, he felt a dazzling light coming in from outside the carriage, and it was dawn.
Stepping out of the window, the scenery quickly faded away, becoming less desolate and replaced by dense woods, meandering rivers and dark green hills.
Under the deep blue sky, a red sun rises over the shoulders of the dark earth.
Looking back, the world behind the train is static, invisible, and gray.
Looking ahead, the shadows of the night disappeared, and the awakened earth was again colorful.
Green flows, and white mist flickers in the valley.
At this moment, Xingle felt that the haze and fear in his heart were decreasing, and the pain in his body was much lighter.
"Huh, footsteps!"
Just when Xingle was in a relaxed mood, the sound of someone moving in the car in the distance was heard.
"Who?"
When it was dawn and there was light in the carriage, Xingle was much bolder, and stood in the aisle of the carriage with a water pipe, while trying to perceive everything around him.
I can't care about the blind old man's warning, and the voice that suddenly appeared and disappeared last night made Xingle have to face it with all his might.
The powerful extrasensory perception ability soon covered the entire train, and a train panorama soon appeared in Xingle's mind.
No one on the train?!
Xingle was shocked, how could there be no one, the footsteps were still ringing in his ears, and he was getting closer and closer to him.
Are there ghosts in this world?
No!
In the school in Awakening Town, Xingle heard the teacher say that there is no such thing as a ghost, it is just a special life form, or energy body, and the difference between it and humans is only the difference in the way of survival.
Xingle didn't speak again, he used his senses to look closely at the place where the footsteps came from, and let his senses move with the footsteps, trying to find a flaw.
One minute, two minutes......
The footsteps are getting closer and closer, and they have reached the closest carriage to Xingle, and there is still nothing found in the perception, which is clearly a train running by itself.
Ten meters, eight meters...... Three-meter ......
Xingle seemed to have heard the other party's breathing.
Gripping the water pipe in his hand, Xingle was ready to strike with all his might, and the first strike was strong.
