Chapter Eighty-Four: The Dark City
"Bang dang dang..."
There was a regular noise under the train floor, and Colin took out his phone and looked at the timeโten o'clock in the morning.
It's been almost six hours since the last stop.
"It doesn't look like it's going to stop for a while."
Colin glanced out the window and saw no sign of slowing down, and he had thought that the train would stop every four or five hours.
But now it seems that the probability is random...
Staying in the cramped carriage and not seeing the train arrive for a long time, Colin's mind couldn't help but drift a little.
He was a little curious, who made this train, and whether it was also a manufacturer in the campfire company? Or is it simply from an extraterrestrial civilization?
What is the purpose of its existence, just to pass through all kinds of places that are extremely dangerous?
And if he uses "Time Standstill" now, what will happen to this train?
Thoughts flashed through his mind, and Colin didn't necessarily want to get an answer, just thought about it.
Behind him, the group of people was quite peaceful, but the student who had broken his hand let out some snorts from time to time.
At first, he didn't feel much when his hand was cut off, and he waited for a while before he gradually felt the pain from the severed section.
But to Colin's surprise, this guy didn't complain too much except for occasionally scolding and swearing to vent his emotions.
"It's a pity that the palm of that hand was snatched away by the monster, otherwise I might let him try the 'Gluttonous Mark' experiment, can he directly connect the severed limb..."
Colin is not very proficient in this pile of props on his body, and if he has the opportunity, he will definitely try it to learn more.
But now, the palm is gone, the bleeding has stopped, and his life is saved, and he is not his own employee, and Colin has no idea of further help.
Shaking his head, he gathered his thoughts, leaned back, closed his eyes against the back of the chair, and fell asleep.
I don't know how long it has passed...
With his eyes closed, Colin was keenly aware that the interval between the "clang" sounds of the train was slightly lengthened, which seemed to indicate that the speed of the train had slowed down.
"Are you stopping again?"
Colin opened his eyes, straightened up, and listened carefully to make sure the train was indeed slowing down.
At this moment, the mobile phone time display has come to 11:53.
At this moment, Colin heard footsteps approaching, and he turned his head to see the "Elder Brother" in the group behind him walking up uneasily.
Tang Xiao palpitated and glanced at the person with a kitchen knife in his hand and a nine-barrel hood, if he remembered correctly, this was probably not a person, but appeared inexplicably.
"What's the matter?"
Seeing Colin's gaze, Tang Xiao's body trembled, and then he suppressed his anxiety and said, "Can you get out of the car in a while?" โ
He probably guessed now that the guy in front of him, who seemed to be the same age as himself, was probably a special member who specialized in dealing with some supernatural things.
The only way to stay alive is to rely on each other.
Coupled with what happened just now, he no longer dared to take chances and make assertions like he had just done.
"I don't know, let's see, you go back to your seat first."
Colin shook his head, not immediately giving an idea, and he wasn't sure if it would be safe for the next train to stop.
After a while of returning to their seats, the train again emits the sound of a flute heralding an impending stop.
The white fog outside the car window quickly faded...
This time, the train seemed to be on a road, flanked by rows of flanked by incandescent street lamps.
The silhouette of a city with tall buildings soon revealed itself as the white mist faded.
Seeing the very modern city outside the car window, the few people behind were obviously much more excited - this is a serious city, there can't be anything else, right?
However, before they could be happy, Colin poured cold water on them.
"Don't get out of the car."
After a pause, Colin added with great anxiety in his heart: "Look at the time on your phones, and then look out the window carefully." โ
Hearing this, several people were stunned for a moment, took out their mobile phones to look at the time, and then looked at the city in the dark outside the window, and a strong uneasiness suddenly rose in their hearts.
At this moment...
Noon, 12:08:57.
Night still dominates the land, and the faint starlight barely outlines the city, making the skyscrapers that once stood majestically look like silent and helpless giants standing in the past.
Colin sat in the car, looking through the window, looking at the empty and dark city outside the window, only to feel his scalp tingle, and his body and mind were gradually enveloped by an indescribable feeling of suffocation.
"What the hell is this place? The 'bestiality' aura in my body was actually shrunk into a ball of fright! โ
Colin was terrified, and he felt the "bestiality" aura in his body shrinking, and conveyed a trembling feeling of extreme panic.
This is the first time this has happened!
At the beginning, I was facing the "hunger" of the eighteen arms that looked like a Buddha statue, and this kind of thing happened.
But now, Colin couldn't help but tremble all over his body when he hadn't even touched anything...
This is enough to show that the horror that exists in this ghost place now far exceeds everything encountered in the number 13 world!
In the growing panic, Colin's mind rusted and struggled, and he vaguely felt as if some kind of invisible viscous tentacle was sliding on the skin of his body, and his limbs were stuck in a swamp and could not move, and the desperate suffocation slowly seeped into his body from his pores.
His whole body shook uncontrollably, and he couldn't breathe in his chest more and more, as if his neck was strangled.
But at this moment...
A contradictory aura of warmth and scorching heat emerged from one pocket of the trench coat.
When it appears, the fear in the body is quickly soothed.
"Retrograde?"
Colin broke free from his fear, ignoring the coolness of a cold sweat, took out the thing that brought warmth, and found that it was the orange revolver that had not performed well so far.
It was heating up for some reason at the moment, and the heat it conveyed was like a raging fire, quickly pouring into his body, bringing a strange sense of comfort while burning away the inexplicable intense fear that was almost substantial.
"Now there's an 'orange suit' performance."
Colin took a deep breath, grabbed the revolver, raised his right hand, wiped the sweat on his neck with the mouth of his sleeve, and felt much better.
At this time, he suddenly thought of something, turned his head to look behind him, and found that although the people were just as scared, their reactions were still within the normal range.
"It's not scientific, I'm scared half to death, almost lost my mind, they don't have anything to do?"
Colin thought for a moment, and quickly guessed that this thing seemed to be aimed at people with some extraordinary abilities?
But speaking of which, what is this city?
Colin always felt that the outline of the city was a little familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere, but for a while he couldn't remember the specifics.
At this moment, the train, which had been running continuously for nearly eight hours, stopped.
But this time, the door only opened symbolically, and before it could open for more than a second, it snapped shut again, and then the train started again.
