Chapter 40: Control
Listening to Saitosai's last call, Meng Chen's heart once again raised a question: "Break free? Obsession? What are they? ”

The doors of the train had closed automatically, and after the storm had been insulated, calm had finally returned to the carriage. Meng Chen sat on the ground with his butt and panted and said secretly, "I really didn't expect that Saito Zhai would be willing to sacrifice himself to protect others." He actually contributed to the Dongzhou team in such a way, he really did his best, and he died. In the Dongzhou team, the fewer such people, the better. ”
Ishida's right chest had completely collapsed, and he relied on his breath to support himself to witness the whole process of Saito Sai's birth, when he stared at a pair of bull's eyes and struggled to stand up. After being rescued by Saitosai, Daum lay on the ground panting in horror, while Mel knelt beside him, hugged his head, and looked at him anxiously, while secretly crying.
Meng Chen walked quickly to Ishida Shuo's side and asked, "Can you still go?" ”
After receiving a definite reply from the other party, he said to the crowd, "This Mel is weird, I don't know if Captain Saito killed her." Just in case, we have to get out of here immediately. ”
"Mel, take Daum and we'll go to the locomotive in front."
Meng Chen never expected the cab to be like this. In the process of moving towards the locomotive, he imagined countless possibilities: the dirty and backward steam locomotive, the simple and clean diesel locomotive, and the high-tech content of the motor locomotive. But all of this is very different from the scene in front of you.
Here, the all-glass cab displays the situation in real time inside and outside the train. The control interface of the touch screen can intuitively and easily control every movement of the train. If that's still within the normal range, then the mahogany upholstery, double bed, and cashmere carpet don't look like what a train cab should be.
Meng Chen looked at Daum and shook his head, secretly despising his bad taste.
Meng Chen came to the console and found that the train was on autopilot, so he changed the train to manual. Then, purely with the mentality of trying, he moved the joystick, but he didn't expect the train to change direction with his maneuvering.
He took a deep breath and turned to the crowd, "Who wants to experience free fall?" ”
Seeing everyone's stunned looks, Meng Chen pointed to the joystick and said, "I can control the train now." ”
When Daum heard this, he slowly slipped his back on the car, he looked at the roof of the car without focus, and said leisurely: "The Lost Domain is the most chaotic brain space, and generally speaking, people who enter here will no longer be able to distinguish between reality and dreams. So, theoretically, as long as we die in the Lost Domain, we can return to the real world. ”
"So all I have to do now is drive the train towards the cliff and- fall!"
Listening to Meng Chen's crazy plan, Ishida Shuo swallowed and spat on the side, and asked tremblingly, "Is this really okay?" ”
"We only have this one chance!"
To be honest, it feels bad. Although intellectually knowing that only by dying in a dream can you wake up in the real world. But it's one thing to know, it's another to actually do it. Anyone sitting on a train that is about to fall will not be in a good mood.
There was a brief silence in the carriage. Meng Chen was already sitting in the driver's seat, concentrating on maneuvering the train. Ishida Shuo was lying on the big bed, his shriveled chest was causing him great pain with every breath, he looked like he was worse than dead, and this fall would relieve him of the pain. Mel curled up in Daum's arms like a kitten, and from time to time she would raise her head and touch Daum's forehead, as if the two of them were comforting each other, and as if they were saying goodbye before leaving.
Under Meng Chen's control, the train had completed a 180-degree U-turn and was heading towards the cliff at high speed.
The train travels through the pathway that it had previously crashed through. The towering buildings on both sides make you feel like you're stumbling through the bottom of a mountain or valley. The buildings on both sides are visually squeezed towards the center, and the constantly repeating scenery is like a mountain weighing heavily on Meng Chen's heart.
Meng Chen was a little dizzy, his palms were cold, and his palms were full of sweat. In order to reduce the pressure on himself, he kept repeating in a low voice: "It's going to be fine, it's going to be ...... not"
Meng Chen whispered his plan: "Further ahead is the seaside cliff we passed when we came. Now the train is controlled by me, and as long as I don't let it make the rails when I get there, the whole train will fall at high speed. Then we will be able to return home safely. ”
The joystick gave him a slippery feel, but he wasn't in the mood to wipe it off.
The rails still steadyly spread beneath the train, with a white bright spot at the end of the line of sight. I don't know if it's heaven or hell......
Soon this white bright spot began to grow larger and larger, and Meng Chen could see an endless expanse of pure blue dotted under the white jade.
"It's coming!" He writhed in his chair and adjusted his position.
The train was still advancing, and Meng Chen felt that his eyes suddenly lit up, the dazzling sunlight rushed to his face, the fiery light burned his eyes, and everything turned white. Meng Chen's mind also turned white at this time, he simply closed his eyes, didn't think about anything, and just waited for the moment when he finally fell......
While the train was still advancing, the white light suddenly turned into a blue of water and sky, and the royal blue of the sea and the turquoise blue of the sky merged on the horizon. The flying sand and gravel are gone, and the furious wind is gone. Meng Chen felt that his world had become quiet and peaceful at this time. His heart is also like a seagull swimming in the sky, carefree and free. He relaxed himself and waited for that moment to come......
However, the train is still advancing......
"What's wrong? Why are trains still moving? Ishida asked weakly.
He raised his head, and what caught his eyes was Meng Chen, who was pale, and the touch control screen that was smashed by him at some point.
Meng Chen didn't answer, and Ishida Shuo followed his gaze to a screen. At that moment, his heart shook suddenly, and he fell into bed in despair. The soft and comfortable bed did not give him the slightest feeling of solidity, and he felt that his whole world was falling downward, irretrievably submerged in the cold, dark waters.
On that screen, two heavy red lines stretched like railroad tracks under the wheels, holding the train firmly in the air.
After a long time, Ishida Shuo said tremblingly, "We can go back......"
"Can't do it!" Meng Chen angrily punched the control screen that had already been shattered, "I don't know why, the train is controlled again, and it is now running completely autonomously. ”
