After the train stopped, the door slowly opened and Chi Mu saw the time displayed on the electronic screen on the platform at a glance.
8:01.
If the next train departs six hours later, it should be 2:00.
Chi Mu did not choose to get off the train. The safest way now was to stay on the train and wait for the next departure.
"Chimu, do you want to get out of the car together and take a breath?"
Zhang Dada got down from the upper bunk. This was the first time he had to leave the train when it stopped.
Chi Mu rejected Zhang Dada: "No, go by yourself."
Zhang Dada did not force it and left the train on his own.
Chi Mu stood in front of the train door and stared blankly at the platform. There was no more cannibalism on this platform, and it was emptier than any previous platform.
"Damn it, who is the devil?"
Chi Mu became more and more anxious. There were only ten people on the train, and the devil must be hiding among them, but he had no idea who it was.
At this moment, Chi Mu went to the direction of carriage No. 1 and saw the two attendants carrying boxes and walking out of the platform, as if they were going to get off here too.
Inside the Dragon Country think tank's research room, everyone had a gloomy look on their faces. At this critical juncture, no matter what results they came up with, they had no way of informing Chi Mu.
“Alas, we can only rely on Chi Mu himself. Even if he fails to pass the level this time, he is still a hero of Dragon Country!”
Qin Jianghe sighed.
Suddenly, a researcher was horrified and said, "Mr. Qin, please, please look at the electronic screen on the platform. Oh my God... How could this happen!"
Qin Jianghe looked in the direction of the researcher's finger and found that the time displayed on the electronic screen on the platform was changing at an accelerated rate.
8:08.
8:21.
9:02.
9:03.
At the same time, Chi Mu also noticed that the time on the electronic screen was changing wildly, sometimes fast, sometimes returning to normal, with no regularity at all.
Chi Mu hurried to look at the platform rules on the platform.
【Platform Rules】
【1: Don’t trust any attendant on the platform. 】
[2: Don’t buy water from unmanned vending machines, even though it’s cheaper than the water on the train.]
【........】
【6: The time displayed on the platform is correct.】
The platform rules have not changed and Rule 6 still exists, which means the electronic screen is intact and the time should still be correct.
But what’s with the crazy changes in time on electronic screens?
Chi Mu's brain worked quickly for a few seconds, and he hurried back to the box to get the hourglass, only to find that it was already full of water.
Chi Mu reset it and found that the speed of the water drops also became faster and slower.
"Hiss... I understand! No wonder this stop takes six hours, because the speed at which time passes in the world of ghost stories has become irregular!"
After Chi Mu came to this conclusion, he dared not leave the train anymore.
Now that I've gotten off the bus, time is changing at an irregular pace. Sometimes, only a few seconds have passed, but it feels like an hour has passed!
Once he gets off the train, if the time suddenly jumps to 2:00, he will miss the train!
Judging from the few times the train stops at the platform, every start is very punctual, even to the second.
——"In the world of ghost stories, you can never let your guard down for a moment, as everything changes so drastically!"
——"Yeah, yeah, if I were in the world of ghost stories, I wouldn't survive for an hour..."
——"Mu Shen, please don't get off the car!"
.......
Chi Mu was standing in front of the train door. The time on the electronic screen kept ticking and soon it reached 1:32.
There is only half an hour left before departure.
At the same time, Chi Mu was also very clear that this was the real time that had passed, which meant that once the train started again, he would only have ten hours left.
Moreover, these ten hours are likely to still be jumping. I am afraid that according to the original passage of time, it is almost half as fast.
Chi Mu finally lost his usual calmness. The ticking time was like a death warrant, striking directly at Chi Mu's soul.
2:00.
"This train will depart in one minute. Passengers please return to the train immediately to avoid missing it."
The conductor's voice was heard on the radio.
As soon as the conductor's voice came out, Chi Mu felt as if he was electrocuted, and the dead end that had trapped him suddenly became clear.
All passengers returned to the train, the doors closed, and the train started to move towards its terminal.
Chi Mu immediately returned to his box. He was very sure that new information would emerge during this stop.
[This time the train stopped, no angels or demons got off. But there were only four passengers left on the train. ]
[This train stops, and there are two angels and two demons on the train. ]
[Warning, the train is about to reach the terminal. The train brake system is broken. You must use the key to manually open the brakes, otherwise the train will crash at the terminal. ]
This was the message that appeared on the slip of paper on the sleeper bed.
After reading these three pieces of information, Chi Mu already understood that demons and angels were not counted among the passengers.
This means there are a total of eight people on the train, including Chi Mu himself and three ordinary passengers.
The remaining four people are two angels and two demons.
This information is very important, and it narrows the scope of the search significantly.
In Chi Mu's compartment were Zhang Dada, An Changlin, and the sleeping demon who had turned into an ordinary baby. After remembering the three of them, Chi Mu immediately went to compartment No. 3.
In carriage No. 3, there were two other passengers besides the Angel of the Gate.
Chi Mu summarized the existing information. The two passengers in carriage No. 3, plus Chi Mu and the baby in the compartment, just made up the four passengers mentioned in the information.
The remaining two demons and two angels are composed of Zhang Dada, An Changlin, the Angel of the Gate, and an unknown person.
[2: Demons will not be passengers in your compartment.]
It can be inferred from Rule 2 in Rule Sequence 2 that Zhang Dada and An Changlin cannot be demons, so their true identities are angels!
Although Zhang Dada and An Changlin caused Chi Mu a lot of trouble, their identities could not conflict with this correct rule, and their identities as angels could be confirmed.
In this way......
——"What's going on? If An Changlin and Zhang Dada are angels, how do we explain the identity of the Angel of the Gate?"
——"Is there a bug in the ghost story? There are obviously three angels now! The Angel of the Gate revealed his identity a long time ago."
——"Wrong, the Angel of the Gate is not an angel at all. Just wait and see, the Wood God is about to reveal his identity!"
The audience in Longguo's live broadcast room were all confused, but a very small number of people had already got a clue.
Chi Mu looked at the Angel of the Gate who was sitting in his seat. Based on the existing information, he had determined that the identity of the Angel of the Gate was fake.
He is not the angel of the gate at all, but the devil of the gate!
