“The logical chain can only be closed if both parties are in the same situation.”
When Tan Wang heard this, his heart beat violently.
Qiao Yan said, "If that's the case, I have another question."
"How do you complete the task?"
Qiao Yan nodded.
Shi Yu looked at him: "At this point in the game, don't you have a guess?"
Qiao Yan had indeed always had some guesses in his mind. The different identities, the accelerating train, and the basis on which the ghost picked out the players, these conditions combined could easily portray the image of a mastermind behind the scenes.
The ghost was probably a poor man in his lifetime. Later, when he was riding a train, the train broke down. The conductor knew that he could not hide the situation and told everyone. In order to ensure that the train could run smoothly on the track, everyone threw him off the train. People on a train with a speed of more than 400 kilometers per hour will have inertia. It is impossible for them to survive if they fall off like this, so he died and became a ghost to come back for revenge.
This is a very simple story. After all, the essence of God's Domain asking players to enter the game is not to let everyone solve cases, but to complete the task. Only when the task completion reaches the target, the return channel will be opened.
The problem at hand is that the task of this game is "parking".
They figured out why the train kept speeding up, but how to stop it? The train's abnormality was obviously caused by the half-ghost, so if they wanted to make the train's abnormality disappear, did that mean they had to kill the half-ghost?
"Do you want to tell other people about this?" Qiao Yan asked.
This train was obviously the home ground of the half-ghost. The space for movement in the aisle was too small, and it was really difficult to deal with a ghost that could float in the air. If the ghost ran away like it just did, they wouldn't even have a direction to chase it.
Gu Jinzhao heard this and said: "I can restrain that ghost."
Tan Wang turned his head suddenly: "Sister Chao!"
Gu Jinchao said, "You just said that the ghost couldn't attack the players in our car, and even stopped the battle early for fear of affecting me. If I take the lead, the ghost will definitely be restrained, and it will be much easier for you to defeat it."
“It’s a good idea, but it’s unlikely to work.”
"Why?"
"Just because I said the ghost didn't want to kill you doesn't mean it can't do it to you." Shi Yu said, "More importantly, we're running out of time."
The three people in front of him all showed a confused look at the same time.
"Train No. CE7763 passed through Yunmu Station not long ago. It will then head southwest and pass through Fengbo Station south of Yunmu Station."
Shi Yu looked up at the electronic screen embedded above the door of the carriage: "According to the time, the next stop for CK4865 is also Fengbo Station."
Qiao Yan suddenly understood what he meant: "But the station has more than one track."
"The station does have more than one track, but a track is never used exclusively by one train. Otherwise, it would take eight or nine days for each train to travel back and forth. What would happen to the passengers who want to take the train during this period?"
Shi Yu said calmly: "There is no steering wheel on the train, and the switch for the missing train is completely adjusted by the attendant. The state of the train cannot be changed now. Do you think the state of the track can still be changed by human power?"
If it cannot be changed, then the two cars will collide.
Qiao Yan: "But if the ghost wanted everyone to die from the beginning, then why did he want to die by lying on the tracks? Wouldn't it be much simpler to just change the tracks and let the two cars collide?"
"I've thought before that if the ghost was just out for revenge on the nobles, then why did he have to recreate the past situation and make the people on the train make the same choice as before. After all, when things turned out that way, the ones who were sacrificed were the poor people of his kind. When the poor were used up, the next in line would be passengers or conductors. The nobles should not be involved in any way."
"But if the two trains eventually collide, the passengers on the trains will just be rejoicing for escaping death, but then they will face the destruction of the trains and the death of people regardless of their social status, falling from heaven to hell."
Shi Yu stood by the window and said, "Whether it's lying on the tracks or crashing into a car, there is a long reaction time between when people know about it and when it actually happens. It probably wants those people to experience the feeling of being at the end of their rope and being helpless."
The air fell silent.
“But it’s easy to stop.”
Shi Yu saw that the three people's attention was all on him, and he put his hand on the edge of the window glass: "As long as the culprit is dealt with..."
Before he could finish his words, the car window was pulled as wide as possible, and a silk thread suddenly shot out of the window from between his fingers, directly entangled the half-ghost crawling on the roof of the car above, and forcibly pulled it in from the window!
The three of them had already received his gesture and stepped back. Then a handful of talisman paper flew from nowhere and landed on the half-ghost like flowers from the sky. The whole corridor was filled with a deafening roar.
The half-ghost never thought that he would be lurking here to catch them all, but he would be outmaneuvered by the other party. He was unable to dodge the silk thread and screamed after the talisman paper exploded.
The silk thread in Shi Yu's hand was burned off by the high temperature of the explosion. Before the flying metal debris and smoke had dissipated in front of his eyes, a pair of hands appeared in his field of vision and grabbed directly towards his heart.
While dodging, the sharp ghost energy cut a shallow cut on his shoulder blade, which was slowly soaked with blood.
The half-ghost smelled the blood, and the ghost energy around it instantly increased. It attacked him frantically, and then saw the other party dodged the ghost hand by following the ghost energy, and then kicked it on the back. The half-ghost flew forward and directly smashed the glass on the car door.
Probably because he had learned his lesson, for except for his hands, all other parts of the half-ghost's body were covered with a cold ghost aura.
Shi Yu's right foot was cut by the ghost energy, and the bright red blood flowed down his ankle. He didn't look at it, and saw the half-ghost attacking again, raised his hand and clenched his fist to collide directly with the ghost's claws.
There was a muffled sound in the air, and both parties were knocked away by the powerful force at the same time, hitting the metal wall of the car, and Shi Yu's hands were also cut by the ghost energy.
After being beaten back for the second time, the half-ghost became obviously angry, and a ferocious expression appeared on his stiff face.
The passage is narrow, and it seems even narrower when people stand there. Even if you raise your hand slightly, it still seems not enough.
The man and the ghost were entangled in an instant, with metal colliding and buzzing in the narrow road, and the speed was getting faster and faster.
Until the half-ghost was pressed on the shoulders and fell heavily to the ground, his neck twisted into an arc and a crack appeared on his head.
Tan Wang had been prepared for this, but he was still shocked every time he saw Shi Yu's strength. Whenever his opponent became stronger, Shi Yu always seemed to become stronger, always one step ahead of everyone. He still couldn't tell where his opponent's upper limit was.
Qiao Yan's gaze fell on Shi Yu, but he remembered the other party's almost out-of-control state before, and an alarm bell sounded in his heart.
Gu Jinzhao stood outside the door in a daze, and slowly opened his eyes.
The ghost screamed and tried to resist in pain. The ghost energy surrounding its body fell madly on the skin of the person behind it, cutting and scratching it, leaving fresh cracks.
Shi Yu's hands were soaked with his own blood, and his strength suddenly loosened.
The half-ghost seized the opportunity, broke free from his shackles, turned around and punched him directly, while meeting his eyes at the same time.
It saw the dark tide surging in his eyes, and his clothes fluttered out a shadow.
The half-ghost was smashed heavily into the car wall, his back was sunken, and even the lingering ghost energy stagnated.
Shi Yu picked up a piece of broken glass from the mess on the ground, and pressed the ghost's back with one hand, with the sharp corner of the glass stabbing straight down.
The half-ghost couldn't struggle and screamed miserably. Its shrill wails shook people's eardrums and made them buzz.
Shi Yu's eyes were calm. The glass fragments in his hand penetrated deeper and deeper, cutting the ghost's back. Then he inserted his fingers into the flesh, cut the connecting blood vessels, and easily took out the other's heart.
The moment the heart was separated, the half-ghost trembled as if it had regained consciousness, with resentment and sorrow mixed in its eyes, and then the screaming stopped abruptly.
The ghostly aura quietly dissipated, and the half-ghost's body, without the ghostly aura covering it, looked completely like a rotten and blackened being that had been run over by a wheel. The chest, which was supposed to store the internal organs, was empty and hunched over with skin and bones.
The air was silent for a long time, until Tan Wang carefully broke the silence: "This ghost, is it dead?"
Shi Yu threw away what he was holding, stood up, blood dripping from his fingertips.
Tan Wang's heart trembled, and before he could speak again, the other party lowered his eyes, turned around and pushed open the door next to him.
The conductor had ordered all the water in the train's water tank to be drained in order to reduce the load, so naturally there was not a drop of water in the faucet.
Shi Yu looked at the blood on his hands and frowned, then someone handed him a gourd.
Qiao Yan pressed the water switch and adjusted the water flow rate to a moderate level. He said nothing and quietly served as an emotionless human faucet for him.
The cuts on Shi Yu's hands caused by the ghost energy were numerous and deep, with the skin and flesh turned inside out, and the bones could be vaguely seen. Clear water flowed into the marble pool, and almost as soon as the blood was washed away, blood oozed out again.
Qiao Yan promptly stuffed a clean tissue into his hand and handed him a roll of bandage.
Shi Yu bandaged the wounds on his hands and said to him, "Thank you."
Qiao Yan looked down at his ankle which was still bleeding: "Don't you need to treat that?"
Shi Yu walked out the door: "Don't worry about it."
"What now?"
"go back."
The other part of this half-ghost is hidden on another train, and time is running out.
If they wanted to leave here, they just needed to wake themselves up. As for Gu Jinchao, she was a player in this car, so if she wanted to go to another car, she could only dream. She found a bathroom, closed the door and locked it. She didn't know what method she used, but she fell asleep almost as soon as she closed her eyes.
In the aisle between the fourth and fifth carriages, the half-ghost's corpse was still lying there, its back cracked, its heart missing, lifeless.
Then someone stopped in front of the ghost's body.
The train was speeding, and the broken glass reflected the moonlight, outlining the person's face.
Jiang Ze squatted down, picked up the heart that had fallen on the ground, played with it for a while, and then stuffed it back into the hole on the half-ghost's back.
He looked at the half-ghost in front of him, who was once again emitting a cold ghost aura. He opened the five fingers of the hand holding the heart, keeping a posture that he could take out the other person's heart at any time: "Let me guess, the one who beat you into this state was a pretty human with long hair?"
The half-ghost stared at him with cold eyes, but his vital points were being held by someone, so he didn't dare to move at all.
Jiang Ze smiled and said, "Don't look at me like that. After all, it wasn't me who hurt you to this point. And I'm not only the one who brought you back to life, but I also have the same hatred as you."
He said, “Would you like to cooperate with me?”
