Chapter 165: Ghosts

Wendel had been on pins and needles in his seat since the red vest conductor pushed the vending cart by, and he wanted to know the current state of the person who had broken the rules, but he also knew a rule of the extraordinary world: the less you know, the safer.

When it was completely dark, the fog outside the window weighed heavily on people's hearts like the thick haze that had not dispersed in the Bakerland factory area for many years. The steam train panted and ran forward steadily, showing no tiredness and no sign of stopping.

But I feel a little hungry, Wendell thought silently.

He leaned out a shoulder slightly, looking around the carriage slightly, while using the sheriff's ability to take a closer look. The carriage was quiet, and the passengers all looked like they were sitting in their seats, like rows of silent dolls.

He focused his attention on the position where he had bought the drink before, and his keen observation allowed him to find a big boy with a dazed expression with panic, and an anxious and excited boy, his expression was vivid, although he did not look around, but his eyes turned flexibly, obviously he also found an abnormality in the carriage. In front of him, there were still traces of lilac in the cup on the table.

At this moment, as if sensing something, the big boy suddenly looked up, and Wendel's gaze met a pair of bright brown eyes.

As if walking alone through a dark forest and suddenly spotting his kind, the boy stood up in surprise and ran to Wendel as if he had found a long-lost relative.

"Do you feel it too?"

"People around ......"

"I feel like we need to do something!"

Wendell didn't want to do something, he just wanted to pretend he didn't know anything, and then ...... Wait for rescue.

As an official Extraordinary within the system, he has undergone a good occult education, and this kind of large-scale anomaly is definitely not something that a low-sequence Extraordinary like him who does not carry any seals can handle, and he even feels that his extraordinary ability has been suppressed, and it is becoming more and more difficult to mobilize spirituality. In extraordinary events, not listening, not seeing, and not exploring is the guarantee of leaving alive. If the train does not enter the station for a long time, sooner or later it will be discovered, and whether it is the military or the church, someone will definitely be sent to deal with it.

Stared at by the warm eyes, Wendel's silence was burned uneasy, and he spoke slightly reluctantly: "I don't know what's going on, but I know it's not something I can handle, I don't think we should just walk around, you don't understand, this kind of thing ......"

"Nope! I know, you say, why are we the only ones who are sane? It must be because we are special, we should be like the protagonists in those stories, we are the chosen ones! ”

"We should act, find partners, search for clues, and solve mysteries! This is justice! It's exciting, right? ”

I think you're looking for death, and you usually watch less, such as the popular romance of detective reasoning about evil spirits. When you encounter evil spirits, you are an ordinary person, don't you hide well and rush up to fight with your mouth?

The older boy in the light jacket and dark shirt grabbed Wendell by the arm and dragged him towards the car door, muttering and encouraging his new partner excitedly.

"We need to discover more of the unusual, to find the lost story behind the truth......"

Wendell sighed and followed.

The situation in the next carriage was the same as before, the passengers sat silently in their seats like rows of dead tombstones, and the two slowly walked through the cemetery-like carriage.

Suddenly, Wendell felt a hand tugging at the corner of his clothes, he shook all over, his body stiffened suddenly, and in the next moment, he was about to exert all his muscles and twist his body to break free.

"Sit down, they're here again!"

An eager female voice sounded, and she said quickly in a very small voice, "The ghosts are coming, don't look at them!" ”

The Extraordinary Man always has some intuition that is beyond ordinary people, Wendell tugged at the big boy who was walking in front, said "sit down first", and then sat down on the empty seat next to him.

The girl next to her buried her head and face behind an open hard-shell book, leaving only brown braids with beautiful floral ribbons hanging down the back of her head, and she wore a simple brown-red dress, and whispered with clear logic and emotional anxiety:

"I saw those gray-white ghosts just now, and I blocked them with my book, and I only saw a little bit with my peripheral vision, and they couldn't see my face, so they couldn't see them."

"You must pretend that you can't see anything, and if you are found to be able to see them, they will turn you into a ghost too."

The older boy sat across from the brown-haired girl, and he hung his head, looked at his pants and shoes, and whispered:

"Thank you for reminding us, how do you know this? By the way, my name is Heiko, can I know your name? ”

"I've been reading a book, there was someone in the place where you are sitting now, and a translucent human head suddenly appeared in the air, and the man was so frightened that he screamed, and the gray human head suddenly cracked open three openings, like a mouth, stretched out his long tongue, licked the man, and then he was motionless, and I watched his body disappear little by little, and his head became transparent, and then flew away."

"What did you see with your own eyes? Then you ......"

Heiko's eyes widened and he couldn't help but glance at the girl.

"I like to read books in front of my face, I have never dared to take the book down, and I dare not make a sound, and those things don't seem to look very good."

A cold gust of wind blew from behind their heads, and the three of them held their breath at the same time.

The gray-white mist swirled around the balls floating in the air, Wendel's perception was much more sensitive than that of the girl, the sense of crisis was like a sharp steel needle piercing his nerves one by one, and the head-like thing in the afterglow was not only a face, the eyes and nose on the face were dark holes, and there was no mouth.

The head ghost chose a few targets at random, and suddenly cracked a few blood-red holes, and found that no one screamed, so he could only circle and fly away slowly.

The clammy, cold, and gloomy feeling vanished along with the ghost, and the three of them let out a long sigh of relief at the same time.

Heiko invites the girl to find a way out, and the girl peeks out from behind the book, and she hesitates for a moment and asks, "So what are your plans?" ”

Heiko was stunned for a moment, then smiled sheepishly.

"Not yet, we haven't gotten enough clues yet."

Wendell suddenly interjected at this time: "We are going to go to the conductor's cabin or cab at the front of the carriage to find the conductor, maybe he knows some information." After all...... There is no mention of the conductor in the passenger instructions. ”

"This passenger note?"

The girl pointed to the paper on the wall.

"Yes, this piece of paper suddenly appeared when the fog outside appeared, and it wasn't before, not that you didn't notice it before, as you thought."

"I think that if you want to get out of this situation, you should first stop the train, so that you can get out safely."

"There are supernatural powers in this world, it's really dangerous, you have to take this seriously, it's not a detective game."

Looking at Wendel's serious face, the girl nodded and replied softly, "I see." ”
