Editors: Humu & Kitty
Carriage No.6 was an even-numbered carriage. There was a huge luggage in it. After opening the luggage, one could see a small owl inside. The owl had a small metal key in its mouth.
When he saw the owl, Abyss experienced a struggle inwardly and turned back to look at Ah Lan over there. Ah Lan was still deep in confusion and had a bewildered expression. Because they were moving so fast in the secret chamber, none of them were aware of the situation.
Abyss finally took out the key to carriage No.5 from the owl’s beak inside the luggage and took the group of people to open the door to carriage No.5. After arriving at carriage No.5, Abyss went directly to the center of the carriage, took a deep breath, and turned back to look at Duan Li.
Because the child had been staring at Duan Li, several other people also placed their lines of sight on Duan Li. After Duan Li received many gazes shooting on him, he shivered, and a sense of foreboding arose.
He only saw that the terrifying little boy headed over and circ.u.mvented others to get to his side. And he did not know when the umbrella that the boy had been holding turned into a short knife. The bright blade of the knife reflected the faint light. Duan Li felt a terrible premonition rise in his heart and felt that feeling get heavier and heavier.
“What are you going to do?” Duan Li, whose guard had been up, asked that little kid. When he had woken up and found himself in a strange carriage, his head had been foggy. There was a man in the carriage who was as confused as him. They each felt the other was unpleasant to their eyes so they had fought. But before he made a few moves, he was interrupted by the little boy who suddenly appeared.
And he saw the boy’s strange and shocking fighting prowess.
Clearly, he was such a short kid, so how on earth did he get so strong?
Although he was not reconciled, Duan Li was not one of those people who couldn’t understand the current situation. It should be said that he was a very cunning person. It could almost be instinctive for him to speak in human language when he met a human and speak in ghost language when he met a ghost.
That was the best method he had found as he muddled along in this turbid society. Therefore, Duan Li would not rush forward to recover his so-called dignity when he met opponents who were much stronger than himself, even if he was humiliated by the other party.
Too many people died for dignity, and Duan Li took life more important than dignity.
As long as he could survive, even if he was beaten, insulted, cursed, so what…… All was fine as long as they did not touch his bottom line or force him into compliance.
However, if the other party showed obvious intentions to kill him, it did not mean that Duan Li would not resist.
Seeing that the child had directly pulled out his blade and come towards him, Duan Li was suddenly nervous. He stepped backwards a few steps, and his eyes unconsciously searched for weapons he could use nearby. The odd-numbered carriages were always in a mess, and there were all kinds of things here. Duan Li already saw one on the sofa seat beside him…… A wrench?
There were so many weapons in the train. On the way here, they pa.s.sed by many carriages. The carriages were either even-numbered carriages that were so clean that nothing in it could be used or odd-numbered carriages, which were very dirty and messy and had everything in it.
Baseball bat, fruit knife, wrench, screwdriver, scissors, hammer…… as if it had been stuffed with all the deadly objects that you could see everywhere in daily life.
It was also in a place so obvious that people could see it at a glance.
If I go get that wrench, can I win in a fight against this guy?
Duan Li took a step backwards and stared at the little boy in front of him. He couldn’t help but ask himself inwardly.
The answer he gave was impossible.
There was no chance of winning. It was impossible to win.
“Don’t worry. In this place, you will recover even when you’re injured and revive even when you’re dead.” The boy held the knife in his hand casually, and the blade seemed to make a ssil sound as it broke through air.
Afterwards, the boy smiled, and he seemed to try being gentle, “And I’ll only do this to you once, just once…… Well, this thing will make you feel uncomfortable, but don’t be too afraid. We can take our time…”
“When you say that, you feel like a pervert…” Duan Li couldn’t help but step backwards. He had already rushed to the sofa over at the other side and gotten that wrench. Although holding such a weapon made him feel a little weak, he couldn’t show weakness or retreat. Retreating was tantamount to death.
Abyss shrugged and spread his arms out, but he still held his knife. He seemed helpless. He said, “Don’t run. I really don’t want to beat you first to make you submit. You know, doing this is actually time-consuming.”
Duan Li did not believe him at all. He shook his head and said, “I can see that you obviously want to kill me! In this case, do you think I’m going to surrender without putting up a fight?”
Duan Li did not seem to want to compromise. He also tried to pull some people to his side. He looked at the several onlookers around him and said in a loud voice, “Why can you guys watch him commit murder in front of you? Aren’t you afraid that the next one will be yourself?”
Luo Feng seemed to be hesitant. His eyes turned between Duan Li and Abyss. Xing Yan was indifferent to this, and his head was tilted up to the skies. He completely appeared cold and cla.s.sy. Ah Lan found a package of unopened french fries from somewhere and was struggling with the packaging bag……
What the f*ck! What were these people thinking?!
Duan Li tightly held the wrench in his hand and felt that the blue veins on his arm would burst.
Clearly, opposite him just stood a little brat, and his height was only at Duan Li’s waist. Those thin arms and legs made Duan Li feel that he could break them using one hand, but he simply felt that he had no chance of winning. What exactly was happening?!
Duan Li felt like he was going to cry.
And Abyss was already close at hand. On his small face, a gloomy expression could be seen. He said, “Good child, be obedient.”
In the end, Duan Li gave up in tears. He threw away his wrench and fell on the sofa at Abyss’s command. Abyss grabbed his head and felt that he should be anesthetized first. Well, this felt like doing an operation.
“In order to ensure that there are no accidents, I will use some special means to take it out, so you can sleep first.”
When Abyss said that, he tapped his fingers on Duan Li’s forehead. This tap seemed magical. Duan Li immediately fell into a trance and fell asleep peacefully after that.
Then, Abyss morphed his weapon into Clown’s scalpel…… Abyss wanted to clap his hands together devoutly to thank the n.o.ble Lord Clown. He really felt great having a cheat-like nurse as his backup!
Just as Abyss thought this, Clown, who was making preparations in his room, could not help sneezing.
Of course, student Abyss over here had already unb.u.t.toned the clothes that were b.u.t.toned up, covering Duan Li’s chest area, and began to move that scalpel.
The rest did not dare to watch the b.l.o.o.d.y operation, so they went to the seat where the dish deity was in carriage No.5 and began to tease Lord dish deity.
As time went by, Student Abyss successfully operated on Duan Li and took the key buried in Duan Li’s chest out, and he gave him simple hemostasis. After that, the secret chamber self-recovery began to work. Duan Li’s wound began to recover at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Abyss took out the key, wiped it with a paper towel, and marked a ‘4’ on it.
Then he checked Mr. Duan Li’s physical condition. After checking that there was nothing wrong with him, he got up to greet the others.
The rest of them were sitting there happily playing the dish deity game, but at the beginning, Xing Yan seemed to be not interested in this game. After playing for a while, he started to flip through other stuff here. Luo Feng also took a nap, and his eyes closed so that only a slit was left. Ah Lan grabbed several bags of french fries and continued struggling to open them.
Abyss stole Ah Lan’s fries and hugged the bags of fries as he ate. When Duan Li had woken up safe and sound, they moved on to the next carriage.
Carriage No.4 was an even-numbered carriage. They would not face any dangers here. There was only a dead two-headed snake in it. The key was beside the poor little snake.
Abyss picked up the key and wrote a ‘3’ on it.
After opening carriage No.3, they could see the obvious phenomenon—the overflowing water would submerge carriage No.3, and there were water stains on the ground.
“In this carriage, we are short of time. We shouldn’t even waste a minute or a second here.”
Abyss looked around, observing the environment of this carriage. He thought of all the things that happened here. He could not help but turn his eyes to Xing Yan. Then, of course, Abyss revealed his knife and indicated his intentions.
“Xing Yan, go and lie down over there.”
“Oh, yes! It’s finally not me who is down on my luck!” Duan Li almost jumped up and cheered.
Xing Yan turned his head coldly and looked at Duan Li. Duan Li, the living dog, returned a look of schadenfreude. But Xing Yan obediently laid down.
Xing Yan lied quietly, staring at Abyss with wide eyes.
Abyss, who was stared at by his eyes, felt uncomfortable all over. He thought for a moment and leaned over to kiss Xing Yan’s eyelids. Xing Yan seemed satisfied and closed his eyes.
Xing Yan’s eyelashes were very long, and the slight shaking of them made Abyss’s lips itch. He could not help licking them. But he realized that his action was too strange. He quickly turned back and sat up straight, and like what he had just done to Duan Li, he tapped on Xing Yan’s forehead.
It was a powerful hypnosis ability that immediately plunged someone into a deep coma.
Abyss held Xing Yan’s hands, but he inwardly felt complicated.
In this carriage, Xing Yan had died…… Maybe he had died countless times here. He would die the number of times the train secret chamber looped.
Every time he died, he was killed by Abyss.
In fact, regarding that, Abyss had already long forgotten what kind of feeling he had experienced. He only felt that since matters had progressed to the present state today, there would not be a need to use words to describe what had occurred. Even if they could be at different s.p.a.ce-times, different places, and different worlds, they could still be strung together by the line of destiny called ‘fate’ through eternal darkness.
There was no need to use any other words. With a mere look, a gesture, they would fully understand each other’s entirety.
This was a terrifying yet depressive truth.
He got the key to carriage No.2 from Xing Yan’s stomach. Abyss wrote a big ‘2’ on the key. Then, before the water completely flooded carriage No.3, he led the group of people to open the door to carriage No.2. They found that carriage No.2 was a very, very clean carriage without any sundries strewn about, animal bodies, or blood stains.
Abyss went directly to the crew’s lounge of carriage No.2. Inside, there was a brand-new set of clothes, which were the same dark blue clothes similar to a prisoner’s uniform worn by Ah Lan and company now. Abyss got the key to carriage No.1 from the pants pocket of this new set of clothes.
But Abyss wrote ‘13’ on the key.
When he opened the door to carriage No.1, it was no surprise that he got to the carriage he first arrived in.
A loop, once again unfolded.
Kitty: It would’ve been hilarious if there were also infinite Ah Lans, Duan Lis, Xing Yans, and Luo Fengs, one for each time they looped. Then at the end, Abyss would just be leading a whole crowd of them ?
Fleur: ??? a lil boi leading a crowd of confused men
