Bai Sang subconsciously closed her eyes for a moment.
At the same time, one hand grabbed her and pulled her to one side.
"Danger."
The man's voice was full of mockery.
"Sir, you're not behaving properly."
"How could you..."
The man's voice abruptly stopped halfway through his sentence.
"You are, you are..."
Yun Yuan's gentle voice rang out.
"Shut up."
The voice was so gentle, it sounded like someone was coaxing their lover.
But the man immediately shut up and even took a step back.
Bai Sang had already opened her eyes at this time.
The carriage was pitch black, and Bai Sang spoke softly.
Are you there?
In the darkness, the voices of "Eat Meat But Not Garlic" and Qin Minglang could be heard.
Bai Sang confidently tugged at Yun Yuan's sleeve.
What danger is there?
Yun Yuan did not answer; the man spoke first.
“Listen carefully.”
In the silence, a rustling sound came again, and that sound...
"On the roof of the car."
The rustling sound stopped the moment Bai Sang's voice rang out.
“They heard it.”
The man's voice became high-pitched and excited.
"They heard you, they're coming for you."
Bai Sang's heart leaped into her throat.
"Clatter".
Something hit the car window.
Bai Sang looked in the direction of the sound, but saw nothing.
Suddenly, she remembered what the train conductor had whispered earlier.
Bai Sang took out a lit red lantern from the betrothal gifts and gently raised it.
An octopus's tentacle was prominently reflected in the car window.
When the man saw the red lantern, his eyes widened in horror, and he turned and ran.
Qin Minglang grabbed his arm, and the man even tore his own arm off.
There was no bloodshed, no pain.
The man's figure quickly disappeared into the darkness beyond the reach of the lanterns.
"They seem afraid of red lanterns."
He accepted the lantern handed to him by Bai Sang, saying he ate meat but not garlic.
Yun Yuan spoke with a smile.
"That's natural. This lantern contains the strongest pressure from elite-level monsters, which would frighten even ordinary monsters."
"unless."
He looked at the octopus tentacles that had begun to pound on the car window.
"They are not ghosts."
Bai Sang drew her weapon.
"These octopuses are probably the first obstacle to getting to the final destination."
Each person held a weapon in their hand, and they stood back to back, becoming each other's strongest fortress.
Yun Yuan stood beside Bai Sang, staring intently at the monster that had smashed the car window and was wriggling inside.
Octopuses, countless octopuses of all sizes, scrambled in through the broken car window.
Bai Sang got goosebumps all over.
These octopuses look very different from ordinary octopuses.
Their entire bodies, including every leg, are covered with countless eyes.
Bai Sang glanced at Yun Yuan, whose face remained expressionless. He simply raised his hand and crushed an approaching octopus leg.
A stench assaulted Bai Sang's nostrils, causing her to gag repeatedly.
Why does it smell so bad?
"These things are a bit strange."
After Yun Yuan finished speaking, he suddenly thought of something and spoke up.
“Attack their eyes.”
Eat meat but not garlic, and slice open an octopus with one knife.
He gestured for a second, then turned his head.
With so many eyes, which one will they attack?
Yun Yuan casually raised his hand and plunged his finger hard into the eye of the nearest octopus.
"Do you see this one?"
He raised his hand, saying he didn't eat garlic, and plunged the knife into that big, round eye.
Juice splattered.
[Me eating takoyaki.]
[Me eating grilled octopus.]
[Me eating octopus sashimi.]
[I'm planning to eat octopus tomorrow.]
I never want to eat octopus again.
A barrage of comments flooded the screen.
Bai Sang and his group, however, were caught in a fierce battle.
The octopuses seemed endless. Bai Sang felt that even the long sword he had exchanged for was dull, but he didn't see the number of octopuses decrease.
"Why are there so many?"
He was panting heavily as he ate meat but not garlic.
These octopuses weren't particularly strong, but their sheer number made it difficult for him to hold out.
"I'm going out to check. You guys protect Bai Sang."
As Yun Yuan spoke, he rolled out through the broken glass.
The roof of the car.
Yun Yuan's gaze narrowed slightly.
He thought for a moment, then returned to the carriage.
"There is a nest on the roof of the car."
The nest was filled with crystal-clear white eggs.
Inside each egg, countless tiny octopuses wriggle.
"I suggest you hold out until tonight and try to go up and resolve the situation tomorrow during the day."
"There are two giant octopuses guarding that nest. If you go up there now, you'll just be feeding the fish."
Bai Sang and his companions had no choice but to switch weapons and continue their struggle.
The sun rises particularly slowly these days.
By the time the first rays of dawn appeared, Bai Sang and the other two were completely exhausted.
They sat in the empty seats of carriage 14, too tired to even move their fingers.
But Bai Sang knew they couldn't rest.
"Shall we go up and take a look?"
Bai Sang looked at Yun Yuan.
Qin Minglang and Bai Sang kept him around because he ate meat but not garlic.
"Keep an eye on this window."
This is their only way back to the train.
Unsure whether he could break the window himself, Bai Sang dared not take the risk.
The roof of the car.
All the octopuses were asleep in the sunlight.
