In the desolate and cold mountains of the suburbs, an abandoned train track stretched out like a snake in front of us. The deserted locomotive parked on the track was dilapidated and messy, and looked eerie in the moonlight, which made people tremble with fear.
Liang Xiaowei and others got out of the car and found this abandoned locomotive. They were all a little scared.
"Finally found it. This is the haunted train track. It looks pretty scary. You can even use it as a location for a horror movie."
"I heard that someone committed suicide here before, and the place was cleaned up very well, leaving no traces at all. Could the place where I stood be the place where that person stepped?"
The pale moonlight shone on the train, and there was a rustling sound in my ears, as if a terrible ghost would emerge from the darkness in the next second.
A cold wind blew, and everyone shivered. They felt uneasy and moved closer to Liang Xiaowei, fearing that they were too far away from the chicken blood vine bracelet and were not protected.
Fear and terror make the adrenaline rush and bring an unparalleled sense of excitement.
Liang Xiaowei was both scared and excited. He looked left and right, and subconsciously raised his right hand to touch the chicken blood vine bracelet on his left hand. The bracelet did not move, which made him gradually bolder.
Although this place is a bit weird, it looks like this in the wilderness, and he has a chicken blood vine bracelet on him, so what's so scary about it?
He took out his phone and took pictures of the locomotive and the tracks, and said excitedly, "Damn, no wonder people like to go ghost hunting, it's much more exciting than skiing. Come on, let's record a video together and post it online so that everyone can see what this haunted place really looks like."
Everyone was intrigued by what they heard. Yes, after going through so much trouble to get here, it would be a shame not to take photos as a souvenir.
As they kept taking pictures, they didn't get anything in their photos except for the dilapidated locomotive, and they gradually became bored.
"There's no ghost here. I don't know how it got spread as a haunted place. I want to give gifts to my favorite female anchor. She dances beautifully."
"Yeah, it's so cold here. I want to leave."
Liang Xiaowei was inspired by what he said, and an idea suddenly occurred to him: "Yes, live streaming is so popular now, and there are many people live streaming ghost hunting. Since we are here, why not just live stream it!"
When everyone heard this, they immediately felt excited. Why didn't they think of such a good method?
So Liang Xiaowei opened the live broadcast software, registered a live broadcast account, and then started the live broadcast, with a very exciting live broadcast room title: [I live broadcast the ghost exploration of the haunted holy land! ]
Liang Xiaowei is a well-known tycoon on the Shark platform. He has given gifts to many people and is also on the list of An Rugu's live broadcast room. Many people are following him.
The news spread quickly, and many people came to the live broadcast room, and its popularity soared.
Many viewers in the live broadcast room were shocked after hearing the whole story.
[Good fellow, I was just saying good fellow, the last time the destined person was so miserable, he was almost used as a substitute, how can someone still be so brave? ]
【As we all know, if you don't do anything, you won't die. 】
Liang Xiaowei, however, didn't care about these comments at all. He pointed the front camera of his mobile phone at himself, waved the chicken blood vine bracelet in front of the camera, and smiled happily: "By the way, I forgot to tell you that this is the gift I won from the lucky bag. Yingri Yangyun gave me this chicken blood vine bracelet. It is said that it can ward off evil spirits!"
"This bracelet is very beautiful, but I don't know if it is useful. We specially found a haunted holy place today to test whether it is useful."
"But we probably won't be able to find out anything today, because there are no ghosts in this damn place. Our efforts are in vain!"
As soon as he said this, the audience in the live broadcast room were immediately envious.
[I said I checked the backstage hundreds of times, but I never received any winning information. It turns out that my prize was stolen by you. 】
[No wonder he dared to do this, it turns out he had the confidence. ]
[To be honest, if I win the lucky bag, I would also like to visit the haunted place. ]
After Liang Xiaowei boasted for a while, he slowly rotated his phone and said, "Let's get to the point today. I'll take you to visit this haunted place. It is said that many years ago someone committed suicide by lying on the railway tracks here. Later, someone encountered a white shadow that looked like a ghost. But we have been here for so long and still haven't seen anything unusual. I feel like it's just a rumor!"
The mobile phone camera captured the scene behind Liang Xiaowei as he moved.
Liang Xiaowei was talking nonstop, not paying any attention to the comments on the live broadcast room door. It was not until he was a little thirsty that he lowered his head to look at his phone.
When he saw what was going on, his pupils suddenly contracted. His phone had a beauty function, which was automatically turned on during the live broadcast. This function would automatically capture all the faces in the picture and then beautify them.
At this time, there will be a square on the face of the person in the picture.
My friends were standing far away, so the narrow lens didn't capture them. From the beginning of the live broadcast, the only thing on the screen was a white box added by the system on my face.
However, at some point, another small white box suddenly appeared next to his face. There was no face in the box, only the dark night, and nothing could be seen clearly.
He was stunned. Why did two boxes appear in his phone? Was there a bug in the system?
Not only was he confused, but the audience in the live broadcast room also felt very confused.
[What's going on? There's no one behind me, why does the beauty frame appear? ]
[Wait, look, that beauty frame is getting bigger and bigger!!!]
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the white square grew larger and larger, and shook up and down, as if a person was running towards Liang Xiaowei.
Three seconds later, Liang Xiaowei's mobile phone fell to the ground with a thud, the signal disappeared, and the door of the live broadcast room turned into a black screen.
Liang Xiaowei felt dizzy and when he woke up again, he found himself lying in the wilderness, and the time gate had changed from night to day.
He stood up and took a look, then froze in place, his whole body cold.
Originally, there were only abandoned locomotives and tracks in this wilderness. Now, for some reason, the track has split into two.
His friends were tied to one of the tracks, and they were just as confused as he was. Where was this? How did they suddenly get here?
When they saw that Liang Xiaowei was not tied up, they all shouted, "Brother Liang, come and save us!"
Liang Xiaowei walked over quickly and tried to untie the rope on his friend, but suddenly the roar of a locomotive was heard in the distance.
He turned his head to look over and saw a brand new green locomotive towing several carriages, with black smoke rising overhead, and it was puffing towards them.
Everyone was stunned at the same time. This locomotive was clearly abandoned, like garbage, how could it suddenly move? And the carriages towered behind it were more than they had ever seen.
They couldn't help but feel a little dazed, as if they had traveled through time and space, back to the day when trains were still working hard, seeing them diligently dragging the carriages without looking back.
Anxiety and fear gradually spread among the crowd. Many people comforted themselves that this was a dream, but the feeling of breathing was too real.
As the roar got closer, everyone's hearts rose to their throats and there was no time to sigh.
They are now tied to the tracks. If they don't run, the train will fall on them!
"Brother Liang, save me first! We grew up together and wet the bed together!"
"Don't listen to him. I was the one who helped you get your last girlfriend. You have to save me first."
Liang Xiaowei stood next to the track closest to him and tried his best to untie the rope, but it was tied very tightly and he couldn't untie it after trying for a long time.
He was so annoyed by the cries for help that he shouted, "Stop arguing, let me solve it slowly."
As soon as he finished speaking, a strange female voice suddenly sounded in everyone's ears.
——"Friend, do you want to do the questions?"
The female friends among them didn't want to join the adventure and had gone home long ago, so where did the female voice come from?
Liang Xiaowei bravely asked: "Who are you?"
The woman said quietly, "You don't need to care who I am. You just need to answer my question. Are you going to do it or not? Only by doing it can you save your friend."
The train in the distance was getting closer and closer, and was about to approach them.
Liang Xiaowei had no time to question the other party, so he could only grit his teeth and nod: "Tell me what the problem is first."
"You see there is a train in the distance. There are two tracks here. The train needs to choose a track to run on."
"The first question is, if there is a cat on one side and an old man on the other side. Who would you save?"
Liang Xiaowei answered without hesitation: "Save the old man."
He doesn't keep cats and doesn't like them very much. He hates furry things. His grandmother is the only one in the family who likes to keep cats.
At the same time, Liang Xiaowei felt dizzy, the scene changed rapidly, and an illusion appeared in front of him.
His grandmother was out walking the cat when a large truck came speeding by. The cat was hit and killed, but his grandmother was still alive.
However, his grandmother loved the cat very much. She was so heartbroken that she lost her appetite and died within a few days.
The illusion ended quickly, and Liang Xiaowei was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. Was this true or false? Would the person behind this kill his grandmother's cat?
“The second question is, if there is an old man on one side and a child on the other side, who would you save?”
Compared to the last time, Liang Xiaowei was much more cautious. After hesitating for a long time, he said, "...old man."
He originally wanted to choose the child, because the child is the sun at seven or eight o'clock, the flower of the future of the motherland, and can definitely create more value than the old man. But if he chooses this way, what if this person hurts his grandmother?
At this moment, a new illusion suddenly appeared in front of him.
His grandfather took his sister out for dinner and encountered a gas explosion in the restaurant. His sister died. His grandfather was also heartbroken and died a few days later.
Liang Xiaowei suddenly realized the malicious intent behind these questions and shouted angrily: "What kind of rubbish is this? Screw you, I won't do the questions!"
If he continued like this, all his family members might die. He didn't know whether his choice would affect reality. What if it did?
He thought the man would be angry, but he did not refuse and accepted it readily: "Okay, let's not do these questions. I'll ask you other questions."
"Look, your fifteen friends are placed on one track, and the other track belongs to you. Do you choose yourself or your friends?"
Liang Xiaowei and his friends: “????”
The naked evil face of the person behind the scenes engulfed them like thick ink.
Liang Xiaowei's psychological pressure suddenly exploded. He didn't know what to do and regretted it so much that his intestines turned green. Why did he come to this hellhole today? If he hadn't come, he wouldn't be forced to make such a hellhole choice!
"I don't do this question!"
"If you don't, you will all die."
Those friends regretted more than him. They were like fish on the chopping board, at the mercy of others, and it was even up to others to decide whether they could survive.
They were filled with the desire to survive: "Brother, you are only one person, but we are fifteen. Although I know this is not good, I want to go home."
"My wife and children are waiting for me to eat, they can't live without me!"
"If you can get out alive, I will definitely burn lots of paper for you, so that you can become a millionaire in the underworld, and live more comfortably than in the human world."
Liang Xiaowei fell into deep thought, should he choose himself or his fifteen friends?
He wanted to choose his friend, but he also had family and he didn't want to die so early.
He was a frank person and said immediately: "I want to go home too. Sorry, I really can't choose you. I will collect your bodies for you, and I will take good care of your families, so don't worry."
Many friends heard Liang Xiaowei's answer and felt resentful of being abandoned, but they couldn't curse him. If they were to make a choice, who would not choose themselves except Buddha?
Liang Xiaowei's family is much richer than theirs, and he is a very loyal person, so he should be able to take good care of their family...
A chilly wind swept through the crowd, and the air temperature plummeted. The train was getting closer and closer, and the ground was shaking, and it seemed that it was about to crush the people tied to the tracks.
Everyone felt like they were falling into an icy cave. Some of the timid ones fainted directly, their pants were wet.
Just when everyone was feeling hopeless, the chicken blood vine bracelet in Liang Xiaowei's hand became hotter and hotter, and the fresh scent of the herb filled the air, making people feel clear-minded.
The fragrance dispelled the black aura, and in the blink of an eye, cracks appeared in the distant sky, making crackling sounds as if cracks appeared in a glass cover.
It was as if a veil was lifted before everyone's eyes, and the scene before them was completely new - the horrible train lost power, stopped running, and turned back into a shabby old locomotive.
Those who were tied to the track realized that there was no rope on their bodies. There was nothing on them!
They immediately stood up, their hearts filled with joy at having survived the disaster.
Liang Xiaowei's legs trembled, and his right hand tightly touched the chicken blood vine bracelet. Only then did he regain a sense of security and wished he could keep it close to his body forever. Once this thing gets hot, the illusion will be broken. This is really a treasure!
He glanced at his phone as if he sensed something, and realized that half a day had passed, from night to day.
At the same time, the sound of sirens echoed throughout the wilderness, sounding like nature's music to everyone.
The news that a rich second-generation person encountered a supernatural event during a live broadcast of ghost hunting went viral on the Internet, sparking discussions among many people and dominating the hot searches on various platforms.
[That box was so scary at the time that I immediately turned off the camera function. Monsters, retreat! ]
[I know him. His father is a well-known wealthy businessman in the mall. He is also a well-known second-generation rich man in the circle. I only know that he smokes, drinks and hangs out in bars. I didn't expect that he can also live broadcast ghost hunting! I heard that his parents are looking for a master everywhere to save their child. ]
[How should I put it? If this kind of person dies, it is entirely his own fault. I suggest not saving him. It is really a waste of police resources.]
Many people were frightened and could not sleep that night. The next day, the police reported that they had finally found the 16 people who had been missing for half a day. They were not in danger of death, and they advised everyone not to go to the wilderness.
Everyone then breathed a sigh of relief and felt relieved.
Liang Xiaowei also logged into his account and posted a message: [If I do this again, I will be a dog! ]
[If I didn't have that bracelet, I would have been screwed. Thank you so much. Next time I live stream, I will be number one! ]
The number one on the list of An Rugu's live studio barely made it to the top after spending eight figures on gifts, and was often surpassed by the people behind him. It is not so easy to get to the top of the list.
A time gate, his dynamics
When An Rugu learned about this, she was dealing with the vixen she encountered during the last live broadcast and many ghosts looking for substitutes.
The vixen with a messy private life is now under the control of the Special Management Bureau. Because she sucked the essence of many people and caused very bad influence, she was sent to prison.
Before those ghosts who wanted to find substitutes had the chance to commit crimes, An Rugu picked out some ghosts with good hearts and bailed them out from the Special Management Bureau. When the haunted houses in other places opened, these ghosts would go to work.
In her spare time, she turned on her mobile phone and found that countless people had tagged her. After learning the whole story, she realized that so many things had happened to Liang Xiaowei in just half a day.
Liang Xiaowei even sent himself countless messages in the background to thank himself.
She closed her eyes, calculated for a while, and sent a message to Liang Xiaowei: [The ghost's ability is similar to that of a ghost wall, and its strength is much stronger than ordinary ghosts. This chicken blood vine bracelet has absorbed a lot of yin energy, and now it has changed color and is useless. You must avoid going to these places in the future. ]
Liang Xiaowei was terrified and immediately replied: [What should I do? ]
[You can come to the Taoist temple to ask for a peace amulet. One peace amulet can protect you from one disaster. ]
Liang Xiaowei agreed immediately, and then started pouring out his grievances to An Rugu, telling her about those very strange multiple-choice questions one by one.
[Luckily I have this bracelet, otherwise I would have died there. Those questions are really perverted. These days I dare not go to sparsely populated places, for fear of encountering those hell gate things again! ]
An Rugu lowered his eyes, thinking, isn't this the trolley problem?
In the afternoon, after learning that the chain haunted house was about to open, Su Weizhi, the manager of the haunted house, came to the Taoist temple to discuss things with An Rugu with great interest. An Rugu was a hands-off manager who usually only looked at the account books and did not participate in management, leaving everything to the managers to let them exercise their subjective initiative.
As he spoke, Su Weizhi was a little distressed: "The business scope has expanded, but I haven't figured out how to design it yet."
The haunted house at the foot of Izumo-kan is in Chinese horror style, with plots such as ghost bus, ghost marriage, and past and present lives, and has a very good reputation.
He was afraid that he would ruin this good reputation.
An Rugu suddenly thought of something and suggested, "Why not use a rule-based ghost story script for the second haunted house?"
Su Weizhi's eyes lit up like light bulbs: "Rule-based horror stories?!" He loved playing rule-based horror stories the most, but due to the lack of talent and good scripts, he had no way to carry them out.
"That's right."
Su Weizhi felt a little embarrassed when he heard this: "But they said that the rules-related weird talk I mentioned was too vague and meaningless. Then I will go back and ask them if they have any good ideas."
An Rugu was writing and drawing on a piece of paper, and then handed a note to Su Weizhi: "Go to this place and invite the ghost lady over. She brings her own props and scripts, which can save a lot of time."
Su Weizhi: “!!!”
Is there such a good thing???
"By the way, her ghost power is not weak, it should be about the same as yours. Remember to bring a few more people with you."
"Got it! Let's go now!"
As a result, hundreds of ghosts from the haunted house rushed to the mall, carrying incense and candles for picnics. It didn't seem like they were going to catch ghosts, but rather to go on a spring outing.
An Rugu: “…”
Is this a few people? This is clearly a few hundred million.
About an hour later, An Rugu's cell phone rang. When she opened it, she found it was a call from Su Weizhi.
After the call was connected, Su Weizhi's excited voice resounded through the door of the room: "Boss, we found this female ghost. After she saw me, she caught me and asked me to do a test, but she didn't expect that I had so many companions."
The female ghost in white stood there in a daze, trembling, surrounded by the entire group of ghosts, like a swan with its throat strangled: "Why are you looking for me? I just want you to do a question."
"What is the subject?"
The female ghost in white told Su Weizhi the questions one by one, and asked him to choose between herself and other friends.
Su Weizhi and the others were in a dilemma for a while, and they were very conflicted. This kind of problem is a moral problem, full of rational and emotional disputes, and there is no perfect solution at all.
Seeing that they were stunned, the female ghost in white was very happy and prepared to sneak away.
Seeing that they were slow to respond, An Rugu said coldly, "I don't make a choice. I want them all."
