Chapter 9 Means of Transportation
What to do, what to do, what to do?
Seeing that Charles was still unable to break open the door of the carriage, Gogorella covered her mouth in panic and looked around in fear. Suddenly, she found that the two people she knew on the airship were unusually calm, nay, almost ignored.
The young man ripped off the curtain on the side of the car in a fit of rage, and the starlight from the window shone in, filling the space with mottled shadows, creating an atmosphere of mystery and unpredictability.
Mr. Lucar, who was very easy to get along with, sat quietly in such an environment, motionless, and did not seem to be breathing, but his whole body seemed to be breathing with the starlight.
"Mr. Lucar!"
She immediately looked at him pleadingly, trying to get help.
"Miss Gogorella, don't be afraid. β
Yalei looked at her calmly, pointed to the few passengers sitting in front of her, and said softly: "It's just a car of evil spirits, there's nothing to be afraid of." β
His voice seemed to have a magical magic, and the cold air lingering on the ice stove by the door was disordered for a while, and the cold air in the carriage suddenly subsided a lot.
Charles and Gogorira felt relieved, and there seemed to be something cold in their hearts, which was pulled out by an invisible force, and even the suffocating pressure of the enclosed space was swept away.
"Evil spirits, how can this be?"
The brown-haired girl held back the fear that had grown in her heart again, glanced at the few passengers who were silent, and then asked with her legs weak.
"You're just out of luck. β
This time it was Bruno who spoke, his eyes closed. With his head slightly lowered, he sat in place with his hands folded around his chest, and his cold voice was particularly harsh in the darkness:
"A traveler lost in the wilderness. After death, he still persistently searched for a way back, turned into an evil spirit and drove the cage that bound him, and cycled back and forth on the route of death, never stopping. Occasionally, you will encounter a fellow vehicle on the road...... For them, this is the only chance for salvation. β
"What chance?"
At this time, the quality of the reporter was fully exploded, and he forgot about his fear for a while. Asked with interest.
The silver-haired boy opened his eyes, and there was a superb cold light in his bright eyes, which made the dark space of the carriage seem to be bright:
"Evil spirits kill fellow passengers. Those who are killed will be tied to the vehicle in their place, repeating the endless journey. Until...... The next group replaces them. β
"How could such a thing happen......"
Charles and Gogorella gasped at the same time, their eyes on their co-workers who they knew well. Looking at their three white, cold, but expressionless faces. My heart fluttered instantly.
"You mean to say?"
The brown-haired girl turned her head and looked at Bruno again, her pretty face suddenly flushed, and Ai Ai asked:
"They're dead, aren't they?"
Bruno turned his face directly, snorted coldly, and his silver hair fell like a curtain, blocking the other party's gaze - he felt that the other party was knowingly asking. Therefore, it was ignored.
"It's commonly known as the evil chariot, but the horses here have been replaced by camels. β
Yalei leaned to the left side of the seat. The armrest supported by one arm, the gaze suddenly became solemn:
"Normally, this phenomenon only occurs in the wild, where it is extremely inhospitable and easy to get lost...... Why is it in Bucharest this time?"
"yes, yes, why is it in Bucharest?"
Gogorella looked at him with bright eyes, nodding her head like a sparrow pecking rice, as if she had completely forgotten her situation, and even forgot about the inexplicable death of her colleague.
"Miss Gogorella, and Mr. Charles. β
The black-haired knight suddenly tapped on the armrest, and said in a deep voice:
"Evil spirits will also appear here during the day, proving that the current environment of this place has deteriorated to a certain extent, and perhaps, you should consider changing your itinerary. β
He had originally planned to let the car travel and send the four of them to the Snakov Monastery together, but now that he thought about it, it might be too dangerous for ordinary people.
"No, this interview mission is quite important, and there may not be any more in the future!" the brown-haired girl groaned in pain as she held her head.
"That...... Now isn't the time to talk about such things?"
Charles looked at the other three "passengers" with palpitations, held back the horror of the numbness on his scalp, and asked cautiously: "You said before that these people are all evil spirits now, so ...... Will they attack us?"
"No, because I'm here. β
The black-haired knight glanced up at the three "passengers" in front of him, and they immediately lowered their heads and sat quietly in place, maintaining the most non-aggressive posture.
"However, I can't be with you all the time, and Bucharest can't be the only one with them. β
As I imagined, the two of them were really not ordinary characters!
Unexpectedly, Gogorella did not show any timidity, but was complacent because she had verified her guess.
"Gogorella, I think...... Let's forget about this interview mission......"
Charles was the first to waver, the horror of the previous experience had scared him enough, and the poor young man did not want to encounter it again.
"No, this mission is related to your future, the boss said okay, if you succeed in this interview, you will be promoted to editor-in-chief, how can you give up halfway. β
The brown-haired girl clenched her pink fist and cheered for her lover with a determined face.
"However, a position is a position after all, and how can life be important. The young man looked around tremblingly and shook his head.
"It seems...... You don't realize the risks of the journey. β
Yalei slowly closed his eyes, leaned back in his chair, and suddenly let out a long breath: "Okay, I don't care from now on, you can do whatever you want." β
His words were obviously not said to this couple.
As soon as the words fell, the cold aura that had dissipated in the carriage suddenly condensed again, and the light quickly dimmed. It was as if a cloud of gray smoke rose from the space, and everything became hazy and uncertain.
"Mr. Lucar, Mr. Kamiu!"
Gogorella was stunned for a moment. Gu couldn't be afraid, and hurriedly screamed and pounced on the two.
She knew very well that no matter what happened, it must be safest to stand by their side.
But soon, the brown-haired girl realized that she was thinking too simply, and she was like falling into the quagmire of a nightmare, and the distance between the two sides was infinitely widening. In the gray carriage. No matter how much he ran, he couldn't get close to the figure that was actually close at hand.
"Lu-Ka-Er-Xian-......"
She cried and screamed, only to hear her own elongated pitch change. Time and space seem to be infinitely elongated, and directly in front of you, the tall and burly figure is constantly distorted and deformed.
The only constant is the darkness of the depths and boundlessness.
Panicked. The girl suddenly tripped over something. One stumbled to the ground and looked up again, the figure she had seen as her savior was gone, leaving only a black dot and quickly vanishing.
Everything around her fell silent, and she turned back crying, but Gogorella couldn't find her lover, and for a moment, she felt like she was about to suffocate in this nightmarish mire.
A cold wind blew the girl's body cold. He shrunk around his shoulders and looked around tremblingly.
Drain ......
In the dark. The brown-haired girl suddenly heard a small gurgling sound, and she was so frightened that she immediately covered her ears, but this evasive move could not stop what was about to happen.
No matter how hard she clutched her ears, the sound was getting closer, and soon she could hear it clearlyβthe sound of water flowing.
The water is mixed with a cooing sound, like bubbles rising from the bottom of a lake, rising and falling, vaguely repeating a syllable:
"Stay with me...... Stay with me ......"
The nerves in the girl's whole body tensed, and she could feel the source of the voice beneath her, and she lowered her head with rapid breathing, and cast her eyes on the floor below.
She could clearly see a rotting human face reflected under the floor, and those puffy eyes were trying to open. The reflection on the floor should have been blurry, but for some reason, the reflection of this rotten human face was so clear.
With a "snap", it squeezed out its puffy eyeballs, the corners of its eyes drooped bright red blood, and its cheeks flowed, staring at the brown-haired girl who was completely frightened, revealing an expression that could not tell whether to cry or laugh.
The cold wind blew slightly, and the dim wooden floor was like the surface of the water, and the dark surging ripples were spread out layer by layer, each of which was a twisted and deformed face.
The scene sent shivers down her back, and she felt as if her veins were frozen in overflowing horror, and she sobbed and rolled over to her feet, running to the door of the carriage as fast as she had ever lived.
Gotta get out of here, gotta get out of here as soon as possible!
Although she obviously knew that she would probably not be able to open the door, the brown-haired girl still pinned her hopes on a miracle, hoping that she would be able to push the door open and escape from this terrible cage.
The wet faces rose to the floor one after another, clinging to Gogorela's back, and lunged at her again and again, as if to gnaw at the girl along with the floor beneath her feet.
Hurry up, hurry up!
The old and decaying wooden door was getting closer and closer, and soon it was in front of her, and Gogorella screamed and stretched out her hands, grabbed the doorknob hard, and pushed it hard to the right.
Squeak!
The door was opened, as if no one had opened it for a long time, and the sound of wooden friction between the slots was unusually clear in the silence of the carriage.
Outside the door was the endless night, the camel cart drove silently on the dark night road, the wilderness bushes swept backwards outside the door, and the silhouette of some exhaust houses could occasionally be seen.
Everything in the carriage is still, as if it is a small frozen world of its own.
That's right, Charles!
Before escaping, the brown-haired girl suddenly remembered the vanished Charles, turned around and was about to call her lover's name, a strange face that was sticky and swollen and smelled of decay, opened a mouthful of soaked gums, and bit her head.
"Ahh
Gogorella's heart-rending screams broke the silence in the carriage as she rolled back and forth on the floor with her legs desperately kicked.
Just when the brown-haired girl thought she was going to be in a different place, a warm embrace hugged her, caressed her back, and made a voice familiar to lovers:
"It's me...... Gogorella ...... It's me...... It's okay, it's okay. β
"Charles!"
Gogorella sobbed and raised her face, and when she saw her lover intact, she flattened her lips, and then with a "wow", she cried even louder:
"Woooooooooo......oo I thought it was ...... I thought you were captured by an evil spirit...... Woooooooo β
"I've always been here. β
The young man took out his handkerchief, wiped away her tears, and whispered, "Mr. Lucar is also there, and all he did just now was that he made you see the danger of evil spirits." β
"Huh?"
Only then did the brown-haired girl realize that she was still squatting in the position before running, and in the carriage, the three evil spirits were sitting honestly in place, and they didn't seem to move half a step.
The black-haired knight turned around, looked at Gogorella, who was still sobbing, and said with a look of course: "In order to deal with some stunned young reporters who don't listen to persuasion, I can only let her see the truth directly." β
"Mr. Lucar, how can you do this to a lady!" the brown-haired girl stood up with a look of shame, her hands tucked into the hem of her skirt, and she kept stamping her feet to vent her hatred.
"It's better to frighten a lady than to watch her die. Yalei raised his eyebrows, looked at the other party's red and swollen apricot eyes, and said lightly:
"Well, are you going to continue your journey?"
β......β
Gogorella shrunk her neck in fear, her eyes rolled a few times, and suddenly lit up:
"You're mercenaries, since you're mercenaries, you must accept the task, it's better to ...... How about we hire you?"
"It's a pity that we're not mercenaries, we're adventurers. β
The black-haired knight rejected the other party's offer, then knocked on the armrest, and shouted with his eyes forward:
"Stop!"
Quack!
The galloping evil spirit camel cart suddenly braked suddenly, and the wheels dragged two ruts on the ground, and slowly stopped in the wilderness.
"Now you have two choices, one, when we arrive at the Snakov Monastery, take this carriage back. Two, go back now, we can let these three evil spirits escort them all the way. β
"Of course we choose one!"
The brown-haired girl immediately made a choice and explained confidently:
"Being with you always gives me a steady stream of inspiration, and now that the task of interviewing the legendary mercenary has been blown, we have to make amends with something else. β
"My personal proposal is that the sooner you go back, the safer you are. Seeing her firm expression, Yalei felt helpless in his heart, and could only change his words:
"If you insist, so be it. β
"I'm sorry to trouble you. Charles dragged his wayward girlfriend and said apologetically.
"Nothing, not a hassle. β
The black-haired knight waved his hand, looked through the narrow ventilation window directly in front of him, and glanced at the evil spirit in the coachman's seat:
"Let's go. (To be continued.) )
