Gu Xu looked up when he heard the voice and saw Cheng Jingru.

He glanced at it briefly, then looked away.

It has been seven hours since I parted with Mingzhuo, and about ten minutes since I parted with Xianze.

Two hours ago, after finishing his work arrangements for the next few days, he finally decided to drive to Pear Blossom Valley to take a look.

Knowing that demons and ghosts were afraid of his constitution, he deliberately parked his car outside the valley and didn't get too close.

As luck would have it, there were a few cars parked on the open space next to them, all quietly doing who knows what.

He didn't understand until the group got off the car and made their way towards the valley.

This group of people came looking for the wishing train. Most of them had failed in business or were unhappy with their lives and desperately needed to turn things around, so they took the risk of coming here.

He saw in the eyes of that group of people a surging resentment and a twisted desire, just like Hou Linhao.

Without much thought, Gu Xu pushed open the door and got out of the car, saying that he was also there to find the Wishing Train.

This group of people were indeed very cautious, pressing him for details about why he was looking for the wishing train and what his purpose was.

Gu Xu: "I want to find my younger brother. We were forced to separate when we were young, and I want to know where he is."

He thought for a moment, then took out a photo of Hou Linhao from his pocket. "He's the one who introduced me to him."

The leader sized him up for a long time, and it was unclear whether he believed him or not, but he eventually agreed to let him join.

Gu Xu didn't expect things to go so smoothly, and he managed to blend into the group.

When Gu Xuzhen saw the train appear in front of her, she was genuinely surprised. The texture felt very real, not like it was fake.

The person next to him urged, "Handsome, hurry up and get in the car."

Gu Xu had no choice but to follow the crowd and get on the bus.

He never expected to run into Cheng Jingru, who was alone, at this time.

"Oh dear, why is this little girl all alone? It's so pitiful. Why don't you sit with us?" someone nearby said warmly.

Cheng Jingru quickly glanced at the crowd and shook her head. "No need."

She found a place to sit down alone, carefully making no attempt to reveal that she knew Gu Xu.

Han Fenghua sighed, "What a pity."

After a pause, seeing that Gu Xu didn't react, he couldn't help but ask, "Why don't you ask me what's a pity?"

Gu Xu frowned slightly: "You're very noisy."

He's been in a much better temper lately, and He Wangyao has become increasingly mischievous in front of him, but that doesn't mean he's always been a good-tempered person.

Han Fenghua remained quiet for a while, but she couldn't keep things to herself and couldn't help but whisper in her ear again.

"I feel sorry for that girl; she seems to have wandered in by mistake. What if she makes some unrealistic wish during the wishing ceremony later?"

"If she doesn't make a proper wish and no deity responds, she'll be stuck on this train forever!"

After Han Fenghua finished speaking, a hint of fear appeared in her eyes.

Gu Xu: "...You've been on this train before?"

Han Fenghua: "Of course not, this is my first time here! But I've done a thorough research, and I'll share it with you now. Do you want it? 5000 yuan."

Those nearby, who had been listening to their conversation, all turned to look when they heard this.

This person is actually running a business on the wishing train? Does he even have a brain?

Han Fenghua took out a handwritten notebook and handed it to Gu Xu. After a while, seeing that Gu Xu didn't even glance at it, she scratched her head awkwardly.

"Oh, I was just kidding, it's free information sharing. Brother, don't forget me when you become rich!" He smiled broadly.

Cheng Jingru, who was in the front row, couldn't help but turn her head to look at the two of them, then hurriedly looked away.

She just couldn't understand how a naive and innocent girl could have gotten mixed in with them.

Whether the other party knew or not, one of the conditions for making the wish was that a blood relative's life had to be sacrificed.

Others who know they are doing something shady will more or less put on a facade and avoid contact with outsiders.

So everyone sat far apart, with no intention of getting close to anyone.

Some people are even very nervous, worried about what to do if the gods don't respond to their wishes...

The enthusiastic and cheerful Han Fenghua seemed somewhat out of place among this group of people.

Whether he was genuinely stupid or pretending, Cheng Jingru thought to herself that this must be a young man who had gone astray.

She took out two amulets and secretly slipped them through the gap between the seats.

Han Fenghua was initially in a state of high excitement, but the moment she touched the amulet, she snapped out of it and broke out in a cold sweat.

How could he think that sacrificing one's blood relatives is a noble thing? How could he have become so depraved?

Cheng Jingru whispered a reminder: "No matter what happens later, don't make any wishes or open your eyes. I will break the barrier and take you out."

Han Fenghua was overjoyed and nodded frantically, but fearing it would arouse suspicion from others, he rolled his eyes to indicate that he understood.

Gu Xu didn't speak. He glanced at the connecting area between the train carriages and wondered which carriage Ming Zhuo was in.

But this group clearly had no intention of moving, so he could only endure it for the time being.

He also wanted to know if those things would dare to show themselves if he were present.

The scenery outside the car window changed rapidly, and some people were so nervous that they kept kowtowing and praying devoutly.

Han Fenghua hurriedly pulled Gu Xu, "Quickly close your eyes!"

The train suddenly entered the tunnel, and everything was plunged into complete darkness.
