That night, as usual, Xu Wanying and I couldn't sleep and sat outside chatting.

"Miss Ben has told so many stories, I should tell you about it, I don't believe it, you, a master, don't have any stories at all!" It seems that I am a little unhappy that I am like a wooden man every time, tonight, Xu Wanying did not talk about her cousin's things for the first time, but asked me to talk about it.

"I'm sorry, we haven't been to school, we are illiterate, and the description of language is even more rusty, and when it comes to telling stories, I'm afraid it's full of loopholes, it's better to be like this, you tell me why you are haunted by resentment, I remember, someone can say, when you return to your hometown, tell me about it" The corners of my mouth were raised, and I looked at her and said with a smile.

It's not that I don't want to talk about it, it's just that there are some things that I have in my dusty memory, and if I recall them, I can't help but feel a little emotional.

"It's not fair for me to tell me every time, unless you promise me that after I finish talking about this matter, you will also tell me a bizarre thing!" Xu Wanying grabbed my ears and said angrily.

"Okay, then as you wish, when you're done, I'll tell you a piece of my own experience" I nodded, lit a cigarette casually, and waited for the chick to follow.

Hearing my words, Xu Wanying sighed: "To be honest, I don't want to recall this matter, because the twists and turns in it are too bizarre, before I speak, I want to ask you a question, do you believe that in this world, there is a space-time tunnel?" ”

"Time and space tunnel, I have heard of this thing, in this world, there are many things that have not been explored by human beings, so the legend of time and space tunnel is not nonsense" I was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized that what this chick wants to say may not be so simple.

"Yes, you're right, in this world, there are indeed many things, we humans have never been able to explore, and we can't be sure whether it exists......" Xu Wanying raised her head and looked at the starry sky, her eyes gradually blurred.

Xu Wanying's Memories - The Mystery of Gogol's Missing Skull

In fact, this matter started more than 100 years ago, and I hesitated for a long time before I made up my mind to find out about this matter.

What I say may seem incredible or even unbelievable to you, but it is undeniable that it did happen, and it has appeared in front of me.

In the mid-nineteenth century, the famous Russian writer Gogol died.

He died in 1852, and in 1931 Gogol was buried in Moscow's Danilov Cemetery, which later became a prison for juvenile offenders, and when his body was excavated, it was found that his head was missing.

After many twists and turns, Gogol's relative, a naval officer, Janoski, obtained the skull and brought it back to Italy, where he was stationed, and shortly thereafter Janoski entrusted the skull box to an Italian officer to bring to a Russian lawyer.

In the spring of 1933, the Italian officer set off on a long journey with Gogol's skull box, and his younger brother boarded the train with several friends and began a happy trip. When the train enters a long tunnel, the officer's younger brother tries to scare his friends by playing a joke on them, and he secretly uses Gogol's skull box as a prop for his prank.

But just before the train entered the tunnel, the passengers on the train suddenly panicked inexplicably, and the officer's brother immediately decided to jump off the pedal outside the train car door.

He later told reporters that a strange, sticky white mist had engulfed the unfortunate train entirely, and he described the indescribable fear and panic of the passengers, who he admitted had stolen from his brother and that only two of the train's 106 passengers had survived by jumping off the train before it inexplicably disappeared.

Local authorities carefully inspected and searched the tunnel afterwards, but they found no trace of soot left by the train, and the entrance to the tunnel that engulfed the train was later sealed, and a bomb destroyed the tunnel during the Second World War.

It was later confirmed that the train had indeed disappeared in 1933.

It was a three-car train chartered for tourists from an Italian company, and a model of the train is said to be preserved in the Railway Museum in Milan. Investigators tried to find out what caused the train to go missing, but nothing came of it.

When the "Gogol Ghost Train" reappeared in Poltava in 1991, it received newspaper media attention, and two Ukrainian newspapers published the incident.

A railway employee working at the railway crossing determined that the day the train appeared was September 25, 1991, and on that day, a scientist from the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences in Kyiv who studies paranormal phenomena waited at the fork in the road, waiting for the "ghost" train to reappear.

When it came out of nowhere again, he jumped into the last carriage under the watchful eyes of several witnesses, and the train quickly disappeared, along with the scientist who wanted to solve the mystery of the mysterious "ghost" train, and was never heard from again.

According to newspaper reports, the "ghost" train appeared at this fork in the road more than once after the disappearance of the scientist, but no one dared to jump on this ghostly train again.

The newspaper also reported on the appearance of the "ghost" train in the Crimean peninsula in 1955, where the train passed through an old embankment, where, oddly enough, the tracks had long since been removed.

People on the Russian railways refer to the "ghost" train as URO, which means "unidentified object on the railway" According to rumors, URO has repeatedly appeared in the Moscow region and in Moscow City, in 1975, 1981, 1986 and 1992.

The above are all clues that I got from many searches.

I have a hunch that if I can find any clues about the ghost train in Gogol, it will be priceless.

Later, I came to Russia alone.

Journalists are more or less proficient in several foreign languages, especially young people like us who have great ambitions, and are eager to learn all languages.

But to my regret, this time I went to Russia, and the investigation of the Gogol ghost train incident did not make any progress.

After some time, due to lack of funds, I had no choice but to return to China.

Speaking of this, Xu Wanying suddenly stopped, I was listening attentively, and I couldn't help but wonder a little.

I just wanted to speak, but Xu Wanying stood up from the steps, she covered her abdomen with one hand, looking at her expression, she seemed to be very anxious.

"What's wrong with you, is the eldest aunt here?" I asked.

Hearing this, Xu Wanying glared at me angrily, "The ground is too cold, I'll go to the toilet!" Also, what girl have you ever seen, come to the big aunt at night! People, it's terrible to be uneducated! ”

Me: "......"
