144: Chapter 144: The Train That Never Stops (Thirteen)
"Hehe, I'm just teasing you~"
Qianye turned around and continued heading toward the front of the train.
Cang Bei followed silently behind her.
As she walked, Qianye suddenly stopped.
In front of her, that ticket-checking Train Conductor appeared again, blocking her path.
"Entry forbidden."
It was obvious he was blocking Qianye, not letting her pass.
Qianye rested her chin on her hand, staring at him with narrowed eyes. "Logically speaking, the more you refuse to let me pass, the more it means there's something fishy."
"So, will you let me pass?"
Qianye blinked at him.
Unfortunately, the person opposite her remained unmoved, standing straight and refusing to yield.
A sigh echoed in the air.
In the next second, with a familiar maneuver, Qianye brandished her hong ling umbrella, her eyes narrowed as she stared at his abdomen.
There wasn't a trace of blood there; it had been pierced through by the red singer, creating a large hole.
Black mist was emerging from inside.
Qianye was all too familiar with that black mist; it could be seen in every dungeon.
"How incredibly annoying."
Qianye directly brought out the flower pot. A slash flashed by, the Train Conductor fell, and he became nourishment for the spider lily.
With the troublesome guy gone, Qianye walked forward, continuing on and on, until she suddenly stopped...
Here...
There was no end.
The first carriage was already the closest thing inside, yet she had walked for a long time without reaching it, and looking ahead, it still seemed just within reach.
At this moment, the speaker sound overhead rang out again. "Respected passengers, the next stop, Qingze Yuan Station, is about to arrive. Please prepare to disembark."
This time, the voice sounded as if it were right next to her ear. Qianye looked up and scanned her surroundings; there was no place up there that had a speaker.
There was nothing.
These sounds seemed more like they appeared out of thin air, or perhaps were transmitted directly into their minds.
Qianye lowered her head, not noticing that at this moment, she was the only one left.
There was nothing beside her, and she was being swallowed by darkness bit by bit.
"Where is this?"
"So oppressive."
Qianye looked up. The first thing she noticed was that the surrounding environment had changed again.
Looking at where the voice came from, she didn't expect that this time, these players were gathered together.
At a glance, there were six people.
The others were not there, and everyone understood what that meant.
The one speaking was the man who had previously tried to strike up a conversation with Qianye.
At this moment, his eyes were filled with terror.
Qianye looked up at the sky.
Dark, heavy storm clouds seemed as if they could press down the next second.
As she breathed, Qianye noticed something wrong with the air.
The air felt even more suffocating.
Qianye took out a silk scarf, wrapped it around her face, and slightly covered her mouth and nose.
"What place is this again?"
"When will this ever end..."
Some players seemed to be having a mental breakdown.
Slowly, those players became increasingly irritable, and they started cursing and swearing.
"It's all your fault, it's all your fault that I lost my memories, my childhood memories, I can't remember anything."
An Ke stared at Qianye viciously, her weapon already in hand, aimed at Qianye.
"Everyone's life is a gradual growth from infancy, step by step, from baby to toddler, from teenager to youth..."
"Youth means choices, pressure, despair..."
"Hehe..."
"I'm really looking forward to your choices~"
"Wishing you all a pleasant journey!"
The ethereal voice echoed all around, its tone filled with excitement and triumph.
"It, what does it mean by that?"
While they were confused,
"Look!"
In front of them, a wooden bridge suddenly appeared. On the left was a suspension bridge, and on the right was a zipline.
At the very front, a sign was erected.
A bolder player took a step forward, approaching the sign.
"Victory is just ahead. Do you want the ticket for the final stop? Make your choice. As long as you pass, you will be victorious."
When the player read the word 'ticket', An Ke rushed over first, staring closely at the information on it.
"The ticket is mine."
"It's mine."
After finishing, having read that information, An Ke was the first to choose the wooden bridge, which looked the safest, and stepped onto it.
The other players also came to the front, looking at the information.
"Oh no, hurry and choose. There's a time limit. You must pass within ten minutes, otherwise, these will disappear."
The other players' expressions changed after reading this, and they all rushed up in a panic.
They also took one look and set their sights on the wooden bridge. One player jumped directly onto the wooden bridge, and the next one quickly followed.
"Phew, great, hurry and go..."
Qianye looked down from above. At a glance, it was an endless abyss, deep and terrifying.
"Ahhh..."
"What's going on!"
"Help, help me..."
The wooden bridge was swaying crazily. There were no handrails on either side. They were like a lonely boat in a river, rocking with the waves.
At this time, Bai Lin, who hadn't set off yet, saw another sentence displayed above.
It is forbidden to choose the same option simultaneously, otherwise, there will be unexpected consequences~
The latter part was clearly malicious.
"You all, hurry back. Only one can pass at a time."
After Bai Lin finished speaking, the people behind hurriedly turned their heads...
"Don't move!"
Bai Lin shouted.
Under their gazes, the end of the wooden bridge where they were standing was faintly disappearing.
They couldn't turn back.
Qianye instantly understood something.
She stood firmly by the zipline.
Turning back to look at Bai Lin, "You aren't going?"
Bai Lin was stunned, looking at the wooden bridge.
"They..."
"Hmm, didn't the rules say? Of course, only one can remain..."
After Qianye finished speaking, her hong ling umbrella directly hooked onto the zipline. In the next instant, her entire body slid away at high speed, and her figure slowly disappeared into the mist.
Bai Lin thought about Qianye's words, froze, and instantly felt a chill run through his whole body.
The players behind pushed Bai Lin aside and chose the suspension bridge.
Their eyes were filled with urgency.
He had also heard Qianye's words clearly.
Right now, the most urgent thing was to strike first.
At this moment,
Knowing that only one person could be on a single choice, Bai Lin had two paths.
One, wait.
Two, go up and compete.
Bai Lin looked in the direction of the zipline.
Seeing that it was empty, he suddenly realized that this was highly likely a one-way path.
Now, he could only wait for the person in front to pass, or compete directly.
While Bai Lin was struggling with the decision, a fight had already broken out on the wooden bridge.
Bai Lin watched as An Ke tried to continue forward, while the person behind her grabbed her, not letting her continue.
Watching as the bridge disappeared bit by bit.
"I came up first, all of you get down."
"Heh, whoever has the ability, whoever comes first."
The wooden bridge swayed more and more violently. If one wasn't careful, the whole person would be flipped over.
An Ke's eyes were dark and inscrutable.
Suddenly, a big movement.
She threw herself onto the bridge. Her movements were sudden, they were suddenly shaken off, and the sudden great force, combined with the swaying of the wooden bridge.
In the next second, both were thrown off the wooden bridge.
"No..."
The voice grew quieter and quieter, finally disappearing into the abyss.
The extra people had already fallen, but the wooden bridge was still swaying.
