Chapter 8: Soul Express

It's better to take a long-lost spiritual journey and wash your sinful soul.

Guanglong dared to say that this was the most domineering bus he had ever seen. It's simply a perfect work of art.

Its body is not long, it is dark throughout, and the lines on the sides are streamlined. The most characteristic is concentrated in the front of the car. The front of the car is flanked by rows of all-metal tooth-like trim that resemble ribs tightly wrapped around the front windshield. Directly above the front of the car is the number 0, which is dotted with unknown gilt petals. What a spooky bus. Is Fei Nan on this car?

When the car door opened, Guanglong went up without hesitation.

The first thing Guanglong saw was a beautiful female driver. She has curly black hair, a delicate face, and a smart suit. Guanglong couldn't help but sigh whether such a beautiful driver could control the domineering bus. Why can't I see a driver with such a temperament during the day, and she will only appear at night when she is confused?

The female driver smiled: "Welcome to the Soul Express." "The service attitude was so good.

Soul Express? Guanglong had never heard of it. After being stunned for a moment, Guanglong realized that he hadn't put in the coin yet, but he didn't look like a coin box after taking out the money and looking for it for a long time. He looked at the female driver with a slight embarrassment.

In the seats near the door was an elderly couple. The old man smiled kindly: "Young man, you don't need to put coins. You just have to give your soul, hehe. ”

Give your soul? It's the first time Guanglong has heard of such a payment method, but how to do it?

The old man looked at the puzzled Guanglong and said, "Come, go on the most fantastic journey with us." ”

The female driver closed the door, operated the engine and said, "Sit down, it's time to go." ”

Guanglong nodded to the old man, and then walked back.

It's also cool in the carriage. The seats are few and all leather, which looks quite comfortable. There is only one front door. The most impressive thing is that the sides and the top of the head are transparent, and you can see the outside very clearly, like holograms. You can't see the inside from the outside, but you can see the outside from the inside, high-tech.

In the middle position, there are two passengers, one is a richly dressed young woman, in her early 30s; The other was a man in scruffy clothes, with some messy hair, and he looked flirtatious as Guanglong passed by.

In the back row, there is also a young man dressed stylishly. White canvas shoes, beige trousers, a checkered shirt, and a crooked top hat. He kept his head down, and Guanglong couldn't see him. Maybe asleep?

I can't imagine that there are people like him who are bored at such a late hour.

Fei Nan and himself used to sit somewhere, if Guanglong realized the existence of the Soul Express earlier, then he would have more initiative. I won't be led by the nose.

Guanglong sat in the back by the window and began to enjoy the quiet night scene outside.

What a beautiful view, Guanglong has never stopped to admire them like now. Look at the starry neon, from converging to blooming like meteors, quickly passing by his eyes. The trees outside also quickly floated in front of me. This feeling seems to have been only experienced when I was a child on the train. However, he was not used to the transparent glass, so he always grabbed the handrail, for fear that he would fall too close.

Guanglong's body unconsciously leaned back sharply, clinging to the seat. Looking at the scenery outside, it all converges into a blurry and colorful picture.

The speed of this car is too fast. Even if there is no traffic jam at night, you don't have to fight so hard, hurry to reincarnate. Rao is amazing speed, there is not much discomfort when sitting in it, the movement is smooth, and the body does not have obvious vibration. Guanglong couldn't measure the speed of the car, in short, it was faster than expected. It's hard to describe this feeling in words, all around and overhead are instantaneous rays of light, and you can't find your way at all, which really means time travel.

Guanglong nervously clenched the railing, woke up most of the time, and looked at the unknown ahead. At this time, someone patted him on the shoulder, and when he turned around, it was the hipster man closest to him: "Are you sitting for the first time?" ”

Looking at the calm and calm appearance of the tide man, he must be a regular customer, maybe he knows about the soul express. Guanglong pretended to be calm and said: "It's nothing, some motion sickness." ”

The tide man nodded with a smile and sat back to his previous appearance. He was like a leader, looking at everything in the carriage.

Guanglong took the initiative to go over and talk to him: "You often ride in the car, why haven't I seen you before?" ”

The tide man straightened the top hat on his head and said, "I haven't seen you yet." However, there are many people in this car, and it is normal to remember who they can't remember. ”

"What, is there a lot of passengers on the Soul Express?"

"It's also been getting more people recently. In fact, few people know the secrets of the express train, but more and more people know about the missing person incident in the past few months. ”

Missing, Guanglong said vigilantly: "The disappearance is related to the Soul Express? ”

Chao Nan said: "Who knows, I'm just guessing, this explanation seems to be the most reasonable." ”

The disappearance may have something to do with the Soul Express. But the tide man is not missing and often rides in the car, which means that not everyone who rides in the car will go missing. Is it possible to say that those who disappeared were forced to leave for some reason? Where is the destination of the express train?

Chao Nan said excitedly: "When I first saw the express train, I couldn't believe that there were really strange things in the world. I came across it after midnight wandering down the street and didn't hesitate to get in the car when the doors opened, knowing it would be an amazing experience. ”

Guanglong asked, "The soul express is all haunted in the early hours of the morning?" ”

The tide man said: "You don't realize that the daytime haunt will attract the public's attention, because it is too eye-catching." Otherwise, there wouldn't be so few people in the carriage now. ”

In order not to attract the attention of the public, perhaps it can be understood as not to cause panic? The existence of the Soul Express is indeed full of doubts.

Chao Nan continued: "Later, rumors about the Midnight Bus, also known as the Soul Express, began to spread on a small scale on the Internet. More and more people come out in the early hours of the morning to try their luck. I heard that all over the country, there are express trains. ”

"Luck? Won't everyone be able to get on the bus? ”

The tide man said proudly: "Of course. Honestly, if you can get in the car, it means that you are lucky enough. Neither the route nor the schedule of the express train is set in stone, and there is no pattern to speak of. If you wait at the wrong time and place, you may miss it. ”

In all fairness. It's a coincidence to meet it today.

The tide man taunted Guanglong and said: "As soon as I look at the way you get in the car, you know that you are a rookie." The Soul Express is completely free, and you have to give your soul to complete the journey. ”

Ah, what do you mean?

Chao Nan explained: "Because the express train will completely change your worldview and outlook on life, and you feel like your soul is being emptied. ”

Guanglong asked a little nervously, "Where will the express train take us?" ”

"No one knows where the terminal is, but we'll definitely go to the new world." ”

In the new world, Guanglong said with surprise and joy: "Can you tell me more details?" What exactly is that place? ”

The tide man said: "It's heaven, I've never seen such a beautiful place." Everything is colorful, and you mortals dare not imagine. ”

Heaven? Is there such a beautiful wonderland around here?

The tide man is immersed in fantasy and can't help himself, "Know why the missing people don't want to come back?" Because the new world is too perfect. Even those who strive for perfection can't help but be fascinated. ”

Guanglong had to interrupt his conjecture, "Wait, there can't be the fairyland you said nearby, at most there is a primeval forest." Otherwise, how could I not know. ”

The tide man came back and sneered: "Alas, your limitations are too small. I'm not talking about our world. Since it's a new world, of course it's another world. ”

Another world? World of the Dead? The bus has to pass through the mirror, unless it crashes into the curtain wall of the building. The so-called other world is nothing more than a clichΓ© plot in science fiction.

He looked at Guanglong with a look of disbelief, and said confidently: "Believe it or not, in fact, the Soul Express is a tool to connect the two worlds, and it is carried out secretly in a way that very few people know. If you don't believe me, just wait and see. He smiled mysteriously.

Guanglong still didn't believe it, "You're saying we're going to do a time travel that scientists can't achieve?" What's that pathway? And the media. ”

The tide man waved his hand and said, "Hey, I'm not a scientist, and I can't explain everything with science." I judge only by objective cognition, and I am telling the truth. ”

Guanglong said in disbelief: "I still don't believe it, what you said is not scientific at all." ”

The tide man said: "Hmph, can science explain everything? Not necessarily. Soon you will witness miracles. ”

Is he playing tricks, or is there something real? Will a hipster get on the same bus over and over again and say fantastical things to a stranger? If he really brags about Guanglong, it doesn't seem to be good either. Recalling what happened to Guanglong, those strange things, the Party of Spades, the Great Mirror Palace, these he had never heard of in his world. Could it really be that they belong to another world?

According to the speed of the express train, no matter how fast it is, you can't go abroad. But he obviously crossed over from home inexplicably, which is really unbelievable.

The express train is still moving at high speed. Guanglong sat back by the window, watching the time fly by outside the car, and couldn't help but ask himself: Do I really want to leave my own world?

Guanglong's personal experience, this shows that there are indeed two worlds? Is the New World, different from the World of the Dead, finally going?

Wrong. Guanglong calmly realized that this might be an elaborate scam. Suppose someone with ulterior motives set up a bureau and first create a momentum on the Internet to advocate that there are buses in the early morning. Then take the passengers to the so-called "new world", which is actually a space that has been created in advance to resemble a studio. Finally achieve a certain goal or high ratings. Truman's world, yes, it must be a TV show. However, there are midnight buses all over the country, and the project is too big, and I haven't seen anything like it.

Looking around, there are indeed cameras on every corner of the bus, is it broadcasting in real time? If it's not a TV station, it must be a website, a website from the private sector. Websites that connect the whole country, what are they doing? Reality TV.

Perhaps, this is just the idea of Guanglong's beauty.

In the vast universe, there are many mysteries that humans have not touched and touched. I was once confused and fearful, and I am still in awe of it. Now that human beings are in the best era, they have the best opportunity to explore, to discover, to crack the mysteries of the universe, and to understand human beings themselves. They may not be the best generation, but they are destined to be the most important generation.

There will be an answer to all confusion. Guanglong prayed silently with a worried heart.

Unhindered on the unknown path, the Soul Express carried their souls on their way to the darkness ahead.
