147: Chapter 147: The Train That Never Stops (Part Sixteen)
In her heart, who else could she choose but Su Ye?
But,
His words reminded her again.
Now, for some unknown reason, they had suddenly grown old, yet she hadn't changed at all.
What if the person she chose didn't succeed?
Would she be punished herself?
At that thought, An Ke's gaze flickered back and forth across Bai Lin.
Then she looked at Qian Ye standing on the platform and whispered in her heart.
"Let it be like this."
—
On the platform, Qian Ye was currently looking around.
There wasn't a single passenger around.
There was nothing.
It was deathly quiet.
This wasn't normal.
Furthermore, there was no notification of clearing the game; nothing had appeared. It was impossible to clear the game so easily.
Her suspected boyfriend still hadn't been found.
She didn't know where he had run off to.
Just then.
There was movement from the train.
It was Bai Lin and An Ke. They had returned to normal, their faces glowing with health.
It was clear that the two were truly happy.
Qian Ye stared blankly at them for a second before continuing to observe her surroundings.
Qian Ye took out her tickets.
Station Name,
Youxue Ridge,
Youth Palace,
and Qingze Abyss—the tickets for these four stations were all on her person, but the ticket for Twilight Coffin...
Where was it now?
Qian Ye stared at the tickets and suddenly realized the drawings on the outside were all connected.
The drawing on the first ticket turned out to be the scenery of the second station, the place where they were lost in the illusion.
The drawing on the second ticket was the scenery of the third station.
And so on.
This meant that the location on the fourth ticket represented the ticket gate or the place to buy tickets for the fifth station.
Once she confirmed this, Qian Ye's target was also set.
She searched continuously, matching the drawings.
Until she finally saw a ticket gate.
Far away, in the very center of the platform, there stood a solitary ticket gate.
Qian Ye matched it with the location on the ticket and finally confirmed it was this spot.
Qian Ye stepped forward. The person glanced at her, their expression changing as they stared at Qian Ye with scrutiny.
"Are there tickets for the fifth station here?"
The ticket inspector was a withered Old Woman. Hearing Qian Ye's words, she glanced over.
She disdained to speak with her.
???
Qian Ye smiled.
She had just been thinking about being a gentle person...
So, Qian Ye patiently asked once more.
In the end, she still received no answer.
Qian Ye was about to lose her temper when she suddenly heard her say: If you want a ticket, you must trade your memories for it.
Hearing this, Qian Ye smiled.
Wasn't this just playing right into her hands?
Memories?
What were those?
Over the years,
if she remembered everything, she would have worked herself to death.
"Sure, what period of memories do you want~"
"Infancy, youth, middle age, or this old age?"
"Mm, any of them are fine~"
"However, as I said before, it depends on whether you have the ability to take them..."
"Giggle giggle..."
Strange laughter came from the surroundings, sounding both male and female, and very ethereal.
She was very excited by Qian Ye's answer and quickly gave the ticket to her.
When she received the ticket, Bai Lin and An Ke followed closely behind her.
Seeing the ticket in Qian Ye's hand, a flash of greed crossed their eyes.
Qian Ye walked ostentatiously past them, and neither of them dared to do anything to her.
Back on the train,
she looked at the person who had reappeared, her eyebrows arching slightly.
The one who appeared was her boyfriend, who had been missing for several hours.
"Oh, finished fooling around?"
"Ah..."
"No... no."
"I've been looking for Xiao Ye..."
"Looking for Xiao Ye."
Hearing this, Qian Ye stared at him with a half-smile.
Finally, at the moment he was about to break, Qian Ye laughed, a wild and unrestrained laugh.
Qian Ye lightly tapped his chin with her index finger and shook her head. "As expected, a man's word can't be trusted!"
Then she let go of him.
After a while,
An Ke and Bai Lin also returned.
They hadn't expected it to be so... soul-crushing.
They thought the game had ended, but unexpectedly...
it was still continuing.
Bai Lin gripped the ticket in his hand and exchanged a glance with An Ke.
Returning to the carriage,
they saw the person who hadn't appeared for a long time suddenly by Qian Ye's side.
Cang Bei looked at their state and even smiled at them.
He received no response.
At this moment, they were staring at Qian Ye, seeing that she still didn't seem to have changed at all.
The two looked at each other, seemingly playing some sort of guessing game.
Suddenly,
a voice rang out on the platform.
"The train has arrived at the station. Passengers, please board in an orderly manner."
Instantly,
the previously empty platform was suddenly filled with countless creatures.
They were packed densely together,
each one staring fixedly at the carriage in front of them.
No, to be precise, they were staring fixedly at the three people inside the train, including Qian Ye.
Their eyes were filled with greed.
Soon,
the entrance to Carriage One was packed tight, as they scrambled to get inside.
Hearing the commotion, Qian Ye came to the door.
Looking at the bizarre-looking passengers, Qian Ye's first instinct was to look away.
They were simply too ugly!
Hard to look at.
These passengers looked as if they had been stitched together.
They felt like they were covered in patches from head to toe.
Their facial features were cobbled together; no matter how you looked at it, they were extremely weird.
They were still jostling at the door, all wanting to get into Carriage One.
In particular, Qian Ye's appearance made them even more agitated.
Instantly,
Qian Ye guessed several possibilities.
Perhaps it was because they discovered they were humans.
Perhaps they knew exactly who they were.
Qian Ye slowly approached them.
She listened to their excited roars.
"Heh heh heh..."
"Fragrant, fragrant..."
"Such a fragrant... smell..."
Hearing this, Qian Ye raised an eyebrow. So that was it.
Looking at them,
seeing that one was about to squeeze in, Qian Ye gave a slight smile.
In the next second, she elegantly raised her foot.
With a "bang," a heap of creatures were kicked away cleanly.
The red singer appeared in her hand and was opened directly, emitting a faint red light. As the red light continued to spread, those strange creatures were still pushing, but they suddenly found they couldn't get in.
There seemed to be an invisible, transparent barrier blocking them.
Qian Ye hid her contribution and fame, staring maliciously at the creatures that couldn't enter.
Mm, she was really curious about what the punishment would be.
After Qian Ye finished speaking, her gaze sharpened, and she suddenly turned around to see An Ke and Bai Lin approaching her.
The two of them were already standing behind her.
Qian Ye looked at their suddenly retracted hands and stared at them with a half-smile. "Do you two want to go out and keep them company as well?"
Instantly, the two of them scattered.
Qian Ye saw through them but didn't say anything.
She just squatted at the carriage door, watching them with amusement.
How interesting—clearly they couldn't get in, yet they were still struggling.
In the next second, the train doors slowly closed, and the roars of the passengers outside grew even more intense.
The train was already moving slowly. Qian Ye stared at them; in their eyes, she actually saw a hint of fear.
As soon as the train started moving, the sky began to change slowly.
It gradually turned from bright white to dim.
Just as the outside world was plunged into darkness, Qian Ye looked at the platform.
In an instant, all the passengers who hadn't boarded the train turned directly into blood mist.
They completely vanished into the air.
