Upon hearing the announcement, the three exchanged a glance, took the tickets dispensed by the ticket machine, and entered the ticket gate.
Just as they entered the ticket gate, there was a slight tremor under their feet, accompanied by a whooshing sound, and a very luxurious-looking train slowly came to a stop in front of them.
Number one, number two, number three... all the way to number nine. There was only nine carriages in the entire train. When the ninth carriage came to a smooth stop in front of them and the door opened, a sour and rotten smell hit them right in the head.
Su Luo: ...
The outside looked clean and tidy, but the inside was a stark contrast. After hesitating for a moment, I covered my nose and walked into the carriage.
As soon as I entered, the train door behind me slammed shut, and then the entire station echoed with a cold electronic announcement: "The train to hell has departed. Passengers, please continue your journey. Have a pleasant trip!"
Keep trying?
Su Luo frowned, not quite understanding the meaning of "keep trying." Was it a warning to the passengers to work hard to pass the test? Or was there a countdown on the bus, and if they didn't accomplish certain things, they would end up like the person in the convenience store?
There are too many questions; let's take it one step at a time.
Looking around, the surrounding environment was beyond description. There was unidentified excrement everywhere, a mixture of sizes. Even the car windows had some tissues with unidentified objects stuck to them, and there was even a fermenting smell.
Besides, the entire carriage was extremely dilapidated. There was only one bench with the cotton stuffing sticking out near the next carriage door, and rotting or decaying corpses were everywhere, leaving no place to even step. Not to mention the seats marked 16, 17, and 18.
There are no seats there, there are clearly three pits.
Three pits, each the size of a human figure, were branded on them.
"Hehe, we have a new passenger!"
A sound like steel wire scraping against glass, rough and hoarse with a slightly piercing sharpness, came from inside the carriage.
A thing that had been lying on the ground like a corpse widened its eyelid-less eyes, sat up straight, grinned at Su Luo, and chuckled.
Su Luo was fine, but the two people behind her gasped in shock.
This person... his appearance was not much different from what the other passengers on the bus had described.
If it weren't for the human skin still clinging to his body, he would look like a dissected corpse.
"Hehe, a new passenger. We'll have a new companion soon." Several similar voices rang out again, echoing in the somewhat eerie carriage.
The corpses on the ground, which had initially looked relatively fresh, sat up one by one and looked at Su Luo and his companions with a mocking expression.
jingle.
A doorbell rang, and the door connecting the ninth and eighth carriages opened. A female monster in a dirty uniform walked in, glanced at Su Luo and the others, and said coldly.
"Gentlemen, the eighth carriage is now open. Please feel free to enter."
After saying that, the female ghost didn't want anything and turned to walk back to the eighth carriage.
That's it?
Su Luo frowned. Apart from the terrible environment, there didn't seem to be anything special about it.
"Let's go check out the eighth carriage." After glancing at the several inhuman-looking figures sitting upright on the floor as if welded to it, Su Luo called to Ye Rong and Xu Qing, and together they walked towards the eighth carriage.
"Hehehe, let's go to our deaths, let's go to our deaths."
"Hehehe, a few people who look smart but are actually not very bright have arrived. Hehe, we're about to have some fresh and tender fatty meat to eat."
Hearing the conversation between those things, Ye Rong felt uneasy. He reached out and grabbed Su Luo's sleeve, saying warily, "Should we... take another look?"
Take a closer look?
What are you looking at? This excrement?
Although Su Luo didn't mind staying in the instance a little longer, it should be a luxurious hotel instance like the Rose Hot Spring Hotel with a superior environment, not this dirty place that resembled a sewer.
It even makes me lose my appetite.
"Look, there is no one else here except these corpses, and there are no other passengers besides us."
"What about the previous passengers? Where did they go?"
Hearing Su Luo's words, Ye Rong could guess with his toes that most of the people who had gone before had gone to the eighth carriage.
If you go to the eighth carriage, you will either die or become one of those things in the ninth carriage.
"Not only that, there are no clues or rules here. You're either trapped here to death, or you find a glimmer of hope to escape. Which do you choose?"
That's true.
Xu Qing also noticed this. Although the rules are absolute, the rules of each instance vary in difficulty. Some are simple and easy to understand, while others are obscure and unclear. At least there are hints, but this carriage has nothing and is clearly forcing people to move forward!
Ignoring those inhuman and ghostly things, Su Luo tiptoed and looked for a place to stand, heading straight for carriage number eight, hoping that carriage number eight would be a little cleaner, otherwise Su Luo would want to quit this instance immediately!
"whee."
"whee."
"whee."
A chorus of giggles echoed in carriage number nine, as everything inside watched expectantly as Su Luo and the others slowly approached carriage number eight, their joy growing with each step closer.
With a 'ding-a-ling', the door between the carriages opened, and Su Luo stepped into carriage number eight, greeted by a beam of white light.
Su Luo raised his hand to shield his eyes, and only lowered it after the white light gradually disappeared.
Unlike carriage number nine, the smell in carriage number eight was slightly better; the stench of putridity mixed with excrement in carriage number nine had been replaced by a purely putrid odor.
At least one has disappeared, which is cause for celebration.
Although the stench of decay was just as strong as that of excrement.
Looking around, the uniformed staff member who had initially gone to carriage nine was standing at the junction of carriages eight and seven, watching Su Luo enter carriage eight. He coldly took out a small black notebook and walked to Su Luo's side.
"Gentlemen, what would you like to drink?"
What would you like to drink?
These words seemed to have flipped a switch, and Su Luo couldn't help but laugh out loud. As if she had been waiting for a long time, she reached out and smiled as she took the little notebook.
"Thanks."
"You're welcome," the flight attendant said coldly, not even sparing Su Luo a glance, rolling her eyes as if awaiting the expected outcome...
"Give me one of everything in here."
"Can you make takeout?" Su Luo asked, handing her notebook to Xu Qing and Ye Rong beside her. "Take a look and see if there's anything you particularly like. We'd like an extra cup!"
Ye Rong and Xu Qing took the notebook with trembling hands. They looked down at it, their eyes widened, and they shook their heads repeatedly as they handed the notebook back.
Are you kidding me? This is a subway, not a bank. Doesn't anyone supervise the pricing? What's with all this stuff? Roland the Deceptive Tongue, 1500 ghost coins a cup; Crimson Jerry, 2500 ghost coins a cup; Red Blood Lime, 1000 ghost coins a cup... Even the cheapest plain water is 500 ghost coins a cup!
It could have easily stolen it, but instead it offered you a glass of water!
