Chapter 11: "No Man's Barren Terminus" (1)
[The pale purgatory with a vast road ahead is almost pushing people to the brink of collapse. 】
I don't understand, I don't understand, I don't understand.
"Brother Xiang," Xiao Ying stared at the green stop sign on a white background, "Have you ever heard of this place......"
Guan Tianxiang was silent, just because everything in front of him deeply destroyed Guan Tianxiang's trust in memory.
Westbound Stop Rising Bay Terminus means that the terminal of the Westbound Tram Line is a place called "Asahimi", a place that has never been heard of......
However, no matter how many times he repeatedly questioned it, Guan Tianxiang could not help but be sure that the terminus of the westbound line was definitely Zhucheng Station.
The picture in my mind is too clear: a humble stop sign on Giss Street, which reads "Davis Street 104W", a "Drop-off only" sign on the pillar, and a maintenance flyer next to it...... And in my impression, there is absolutely no place called "Xuhai" in the West Ring District, and Guan Tianxiang has never even heard of this word matching......
The current situation, just as you are shocked to find that Langham Place was originally located in Jiangjunwa, "the truth that shocked hundreds of millions of people" is not enough to describe it.
For a moment, I couldn't help but wonder if I was insane......
"Brother Xiang......" Xiaoying's lower lip trembled slightly, "Can you hear it...... "Hmm...... What's wrong? ”
Guan Tianxiang was stunned, pricking up his ears but couldn't hear anything.
"I didn't ...... It's okay, I may have misheard. ”
Xiao Ying looked left and right, and put on a fearful posture of not giving up.
Guan Tianxiang paid close attention to the sounds around him: the slight sound of the wind and grass, the non-stop chirping of insects......
Nothing weird.
However, it is not surprising to spend a long time in a strange station filled with fog and feel strange to have auditory hallucinations...... I always felt that this station was not a place for the living...... Guan Tianxiang suddenly remembered the train in Spirited Away, for ghosts, gods and monsters to ride, and cross the ocean......
Just staying here, I feel uncomfortable and full of yin energy......
It's cold......
"Well, Xiaoying, let's walk along the tracks, don't stay here." Guan Tianxiang squeezed a stiff smile.
She let out a "hmm", and wrapped her hand around Guan Tianxiang's hand in fear
Maverick stubbornness seems to have been abandoned.
The two of them walked away from the eerie station and trembled along the tracks.
Every time she took a few steps forward, Xiao Ying looked back like a thorn on her back, causing her to step on Guan Tianxiang's leather shoes several times in embarrassment, and she lost her balance and turned Guan Tianxiang upside down.
Maybe the cold around her was excessive, and her body seemed to be very soft and warm...... After walking for about half a minute, there were still monotonous railroad tracks in front of me.
Xiao Ying looked back again and muttered, "Tram stop...... Disappeared ......"
Guan Tianxiang was stunned, and glanced back, but only saw the parallel straight track, the dense fog surrounding it, and the Xuhai Terminus was hidden......
It feels like it never existed.
"It should be covered by fog." Guan Tianxiang stroked Xiao Ying's slightly trembling head and comforted, more like comforting himself.
"Don't treat me as a child...... she pushed her hand away with her eyes.
Guan Tianxiang couldn't cry or laugh, this girl really wants to be powerful and wear her head
The sound of soaking on the ground played a strange rhythm that was not good......
I feel like I'm stepping on something slimy......
Guan Tianxiang lowered his head, seeing the different color, and immediately stopped Xiao Ying sensitively.
"Why did you stop...... Ah......" Xiao Ying covered her small mouth with her hands, staring at the wolf all over the ground with a disgraced face, Guan Tianxiang really admired that the second girl did not scream.
More than ten meters ahead, whether it is railroad tracks or weeds......
It's all stained with disgusting blood......
It seems to have dried up quite a bit, but there is still a lot of slimy blood on the track, and the air is filled with a rancid fishy smell......
This shows only two things:
One: The amount of blood in front of you is definitely not something that can be caused by one person, it must be blood from many people.
Two: It wasn't that long ago that someone came here, and they were traumatized.
In other words, the two of them are in the midst of a death crisis...... "Hmm...... Why are there so many blood ......" Xiao Ying seemed to be allergic to blood and shrank behind Guan Tianxiang.
Guan Tianxiang also slowly retreated, looking around at the hidden crisis.
Who caused these blood stains? Who are the victims?
The strange thing is that as far as the eye can see, the bloody track ahead is covered with blood, but there are no corpses or injured people...... So...... Where the hell is the Bloodshed?
It turns out that the strange fog space outside the tunnel is more dangerous and weird than the reincarnation tunnel......
It's cold......
"Brother Xiang...... There seems to be something over there......" Xiao Ying's face was shocked, pointing to the mist on the right side of the track.
Guan Tianxiang looked up in amazement and stared at the thick fog......
It's nothing......
It's just some dwarf shrubs......
And the messy grass......
Guan Tianxiang couldn't help but be stunned.
If you look closely, in the grass, there is a road that extends from the side of the track to the fog, but it is too hidden to be noticed.
It was a grey concrete road, very poorly paved...... If it is built by the living.
However, Guan Tianxiang couldn't see the end of the road clearly......
And how do you know where it leads? It's just that this trail seems to be preferable to the bloody railroad tracks, right? Actually, it's just a blind guess...... Reason has long been buried in the strange fog...... Isn't it.
"I'm on this path." Guan Tianxiang hesitated, stepped out of the range of the railroad tracks, and walked to the different road in the grass.
Xiao Ying's face tense followed Guan Tianxiang, a little like crying.
No wonder, the pale purgatory with the vast road ahead is almost pushing people to the brink of collapse.
This is a different level of horror from the repetitive tunnel.
In the repetitive space, although there is no end in sight, it is at least relatively stable; This barren place, though empty and with more scenery, hides more murderous intentions, and there are more variables on the road ahead—bad variables......
It is difficult for those who have been abandoned to survive to maintain their sanity......
It's not surprising to say that this is a materialization of "Turn Scarlet".
Be strong......
If she is not calm even herself, Xiaoying will soon have a nervous breakdown...... The two of them eventually set foot on the concrete road, a winding path that was too wide and narrow for the two to cross in a flat row, and was flanked by sludge and plants of unknown species.
This road seems to lead to some misty forest......
As Guan Tianxiang walked, he was worried about the trees around him.
The strange fog never dissipated, maintaining the concentration of the Gini coefficient in the Bay Area.
As they advanced, the trees became denser, branches and leaves blocking most of the light, and the surroundings were like 6 o'clock in the evening.
The dense tall tree trunks always made Guan Tianxiang suspicious, suspecting that there were perverted madmen lurking around, and he had been silently monitoring the two of them......
