Chapter 538 Next Stop (5)
The two figures reappeared in the carriage.
Chen Kexin's bloodstained socks gradually began to return to their original whiteness, and the wound seemed to heal along with them.
As if nothing had happened.
There was no blood on her white socks, and she didn't feel any pain.
It seems to have recovered.
It was as if everything that had just happened was just her dream.
As soon as Zhang Qianxia saw Chen Kexin and Ye Ran appearing out of nowhere, she nervously moved forward and looked Chen Kexin up and down.
"How are you feeling? Are you feeling okay?"
Ye Ran seems to be doing fine.
The boy was a bit disheveled, covered in dust, and had some scratches, but nothing serious happened to him. Unlike Chen Kexin, who had a bloody kick and even had many scratches on his calf.
Chen Kexin came to her senses.
She didn't feel tired or in pain. When she noticed Zhang Qianxia talking to her, she immediately frowned and snorted coldly.
"It's none of your business, you hypocritical one."
She stood up and sat down next to Ye Ran, who had just come back with her. She turned around and started talking to the boy next to her.
"Ye Ran, thank you for pulling me away before."
"It's nothing." The boy waved his hand indifferently.
Zhang Qianxia, who was standing aside, felt a little embarrassed, but it was because of her that Chen Kexin was dragged into the situation.
so.
It is inevitable that Chen Kexin is prejudiced against her and has a bad attitude towards her now.
Zhang Qianxia didn't say anything else.
Sit back in your seat.
At this moment, she noticed from the corner of her eye that Qiao Xi was slowly moving his body with his hands, trying to sit in the wheelchair.
I saw the girl's movements were careful and cautious.
Zhang Qianxia quickly stood up and walked over: "Let me help you."
Qiao Xi was stunned.
It seemed that no one expected Zhang Qianxia to come over, and due to Zhang Qianxia's actions, several people also looked in her direction.
original.
It was a very common thing for girls, but now it seems to be attracting much attention.
Ye Ran pondered.
Qiao Xi must be feeling very uncomfortable. Everyone here is healthy, and anything she does as a disabled person will be interpreted by those around her as overly caring. However, sometimes this kind of care may also hit the self-esteem of disabled people.
but.
When Ye Ran was thinking this, he only saw Qiao Xi bending her eyes and smiling lightly, and thanking him sincerely and gently.
"Thank you. Please help me steady the wheelchair."
Zhang Qianxia was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Okay."
She pulled the wheelchair to steady it, and watched Qiao Xi move closer to sit in it. While the girl was moving to the wheelchair, a few strands of her soft hair fell down in front of her. Qiao Xi was wearing a fresh, warm-colored long dress.
Pair it with a khaki jacket.
She doesn’t have the aggressive power of a bright and powerful woman, but instead gives people the impression of a gentle and warm girl next door.
It seems that he rarely goes out because he has been sick for many years.
Her skin was as white and delicate as porcelain, and her slender arms looked fragile. Her whole body was fresh and clean, yet she exuded a sense of fragility.
She is also very beautiful.
Her eyes are clear and bright, and she looks innocent and tender, simple and well-behaved. But it's a pity for her legs.
Ye Ran withdrew his gaze and stopped looking.
Qiao Xi sat in a wheelchair.
It was also around this time that I discovered the wheelchair was electric, making it easy to operate without having to push the wheels manually. It also had other intelligent features, like buttons on the armrests that could be controlled by switches to complete various commands.
You can also climb stairs.
It feels quite convenient, and I am enjoying the convenience brought by modern society.
Zhang Qianxia watched her sit down.
He also quietly moved a little further away and returned to where he was originally sitting.
Chen Kexin lowered her head to look at her phone.
Her heart was still pounding, and she hadn't recovered from the previous scene. She didn't see the monster clearly, but she knew it was a huge burning fireball.
But even before.
The rumbling sound from before, as deafening as the friction of machinery, kept lingering in her ears.
Everyone has different thoughts.
Ye Ran seemed much calmer, leaning back in his seat with his arms folded and his eyes closed. Qiao Xi got into the wheelchair, pulled the joystick, and moved his wheelchair towards the door at the back where the carriages were connected.
The sign that originally hung there said "Canteen (Closed)".
Also at this time.
It has become a canteen (open for business).
When she came over, Chu Mingjie also noticed Qiao Xi's behavior. Following the girl's direction, he soon found the canteen sign that was already open.
"It seems like we can eat now."
Finding that no one said anything, Qiao Xi also gave a tactful reminder and began to try to push open the door connecting to the rear carriage.
"ah?"
Chen Kexin was still checking her body and was a little unresponsive.
The door that was originally motionless.
No matter how hard they pushed, they couldn't open it. Now, after hanging up the open sign, Qiao Xi pushed it open easily.
Appearing before my eyes.
It was a connected regular carriage, but at the back was a canteen filled with food. It was basically the boxed lunches you see everywhere on the train. Qiao Xi maneuvered her wheelchair over and picked up one, finding it still piping hot.
Zhang Qianxia also followed in and glanced at the table.
The dishes are all the same.
There's nothing to pick.
But she didn't have much appetite right now. She had just seen something so appetizing that now she felt she couldn't eat.
Zhang Qianxia also walked over and took one.
But she was a little depressed. She sat in her seat looking out the dark window and had no desire to eat at all.
Instead, Qiao Xi carefully opened her own lunch box.
Smelling the delicious food and looking very happy, she broke open the disposable chopsticks and started eating.
"You really have a big heart."
Chen Kexin followed him in and took a quick look. This place was the same as the other carriages, except that there were a few more boxed lunches.
It's called the cafeteria.
In fact, it was no different from the carriage they were in.
Ye Ran walked in leisurely with one hand in his pocket, sat down at a seat, and casually pulled a lunch box not far away in front of him and opened it.
Not very polite.
He immediately picked up his chopsticks and started eating. He also took out his mobile phone and checked it while eating. It seemed that he had a good appetite.
Chu Mingjie came in last.
He was still as quiet and silent as before, but he lined up behind Ye Hou very politely, took a box lunch and sat in a secluded corner.
Close your eyes and put your hands together.
Like praying.
After that, he opened his lunch box and started to enjoy his dinner.
Chen Kexin sat aside with one arm folded, playing with her cell phone.
The lunch box was placed in front of him but he didn't touch it.
Zhang Qianxia, who was sitting diagonally opposite her, saw it and took the initiative to break the awkward silence. She pretended to be relaxed and used a half-joking tone, trying to get closer to Chen Kexin.
"Kexin, you're the only one who can remain unmoved by such delicious food."
Hear Zhang Qianxia's voice.
Chen Kexin finally turned her attention away from her phone and glanced at her sideways, not being polite at all: "If you want to say I can't smell it, just say it directly. There's no need to beat around the bush and try to insult me in a sarcastic way."
Zhang Qianxia was a little flustered for a moment.
"That's not what I meant... Alas, I'm just not good at speaking."
The atmosphere not only did not break, but became even more awkward. However, Ye Ran on the other side did not care about the strange atmosphere between the two of them at all. He glanced over and interrupted with a question.
"What can't you smell?"
The boy still had chopsticks in his mouth, his bony hands holding his phone. He looked over curiously, and Zhang Qianxia was a little caught off guard.
Chen Kexin crossed her arms over her chest, turned her head and snorted coldly.
"I can't smell anything, no fragrance, no stench, no other smell."
The girl said frankly.
"Oh, that's it." Ye Ran suddenly realized and nodded, but didn't care. He looked away and continued to eat his own food.
"What do you mean, that's it?"
This time Chen Kexin couldn't help but look back.
Ye Ran, who was over there, was just picking up a piece of tempura that looked very delicious with his chopsticks. Upon hearing what Chen Kexin said, he replied calmly, "I have no sense of taste."
Chen Kexin was stunned.
No sense of taste?
Even Zhang Qianxia on the other side widened her eyes in surprise. It was such a coincidence that a person with no sense of taste and a person who couldn't smell teamed up.
A possibility couldn't help but emerge in Zhang Qianxia's mind.
"You guys say...are we all sick because we came here?"
Hearing this, Ye Ran glanced over and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
He thought Zhang Qianxia seemed quite normal.
But before Zhang Qianxia could speak, Chen Kexin waved her hand and answered first: "She has congenital asthma. You have to be careful when teaming up with her. If that thing suddenly appeared, she would be scared to death."
Chen Kexin's tone was indifferent.
But he still glanced at Zhang Qianxia.
"It shouldn't be that exaggerated..." Being looked at like this by Chen Kexin, Zhang Qianxia was speechless.
She carries an aerosol with her.
I usually take care of my health, do some exercise and jog, and never force myself. My physical fitness has indeed improved, but I can't do strenuous exercise, as it will cause my asthma to flare up.
so……
If she were like Chen Kexin and the others, and suddenly encountered something and had to sprint, her body would really not be able to bear it.
"That's a bit troublesome indeed."
Ye Ran also understood and nodded in agreement.
"Isn't that so?" Chen Kexin raised her chin triumphantly, like a little wild cat that had won a battle.
Zhang Qianxia lowered her head and smiled bitterly.
"Don't worry about me if anything happens, just run away."
She thought she had a pretty good mental state, but she felt a little disgusted and difficult to accept when she saw something so monstrous that it was beyond common sense.
And I watched it on the screen.
If I were to go there in person... I don't know if I could bear it.
Eating in silence over there.
Chu Mingjie, who had quickly finished his lunch box, heard their conversation and looked over silently.
Perhaps she also noticed the man's gaze over there.
Zhang Qianxia also looked back.
"Where's Chu Mingjie? Are you sick too?"
Chen Kexin was also a bit curious, but she thought this guy was a bit of a weirdo, so she never spoke to him. Only Zhang Qianxia had the courage to approach him and ask him to team up.
There was silence for a long while.
Chu Mingjie nodded slowly: "...probably."
"What is it?"
"Demonophobia."
“???” Chen Kexin was bewildered. She had never heard of this word before. Anyway, is there such a disease?
"Wait a moment, let me search."
Ye Ran had never heard of it either.
I immediately started searching using the browser that came with my phone.
Soon, the results came out.
Demonophobia is a more serious type of phobia, which is the fear that the devil will actually appear, thus causing fear.
Demons don't exist in real life.
But some people, because they have watched too many horror movies or heard too many ghost legends, will put themselves in the horror movie or the situation they imagine, and thus become afraid.
The object of fear for patients with demonophobia is not real things in reality, but ghosts in the patient's imagination.
so.
This is a disease that seems incredible or even ridiculous in reality.
Set it here……
Well, it's a bit subtle.
It could have been cured through normal means, but it just happened to appear here.
Something that does not exist in reality.
They had already experienced this at their first stop here. This monster was completely beyond the comprehension of normal people. It wasn't an exaggeration to call it a demon.
besides……
All kinds of strange phenomena.
Now it was Ye Ran's turn to have a complicated expression. He sighed and shook his head, not knowing what to say. He was a materialist and didn't believe in those supernatural things.
That is, some stuff that has popped up now and no one knows what it is.
It refreshed his worldview.
But Ye Ran was more inclined to believe that he was dreaming or playing games at home.
He is a hardcore suspense, horror and action game player.
I not only watch horror movies, but also enjoy watching various murder mystery series in the suspense series. In addition, I also like to play related types of games, so I have basically seen the monster designs of various games.
And he has a good chance.
Usually, this is what players call a big guy who is both hardworking, spends money and has good skills.
It's usually when others have just started playing.
He has already completed all levels of the game and created a guide. He is such an experienced player, so when he really faced these things himself, Ye Ran was very calm.
Alas, there is nothing I can do.
His family was relatively well-off, so he had a room dedicated to VR. He was already a bit of a nerd with these ultra-immersive first-person horror games.
Now I can completely deal with it calmly.
After all.
The walkthrough described in this strategy guide was already very similar to the game he was playing. And Ye Ran himself was indeed playing it as a game.
"I think your group is doomed."
Chen Kexin withdrew her gaze and looked at Zhang Qianxia with pity.
An asthma.
One is that demonophobia, a severe phobia that doesn't exist in reality. But now that it exists, wouldn't it be instantly ingrained in people?
If you haven't seen it, you might be scared to death.
Now this, this...
"Why don't you just change the name of your group to the elderly, weak, sick and disabled group." Chen Kexin was also convinced. She really broadened her horizons.
She suddenly stopped, as if she remembered something.
"Oh no, that's a bit offensive."
Then her eyes subconsciously turned to Qiao Xi, who was sitting in a wheelchair, and the girl on the other side who had been quietly watching them chatting. When she noticed Chen Kexin looking in her direction, she pursed her lips, nodded slightly, and smiled gently.
Didn't seem to care.
Chen Kexin was worried that the future of everyone in their group would be bumpy.
It's death anyway.
She and Zhang Qianxia had no appetite for dinner, and after the others had finished their meals, they also left the cafeteria and headed for the carriage in front marked with a rest area sign, but the situation there was a little better.
It's no longer a subway-like carriage.
Instead, it is like a sleeper car on a high-speed train.
The space is very spacious, with a bed and a seat, suitable for two people, and the door can be closed. There are two bathrooms at the end of the other side, so you can take turns taking a shower.
There are three empty rooms in total.
It can accommodate six people.
For a moment, the scene became awkward again. Needless to say, Ye Ran was definitely in the same room with Chu Mingjie. With men and women mixed together, he was afraid he'd see something he shouldn't.
You will suffer when the time comes.
Men and women should not touch each other.
As men, we don't have to talk too much. We don't have to maintain any special interpersonal relationships. We can just do our own things and not interfere with each other. That's definitely more convenient.
so.
Look at those rooms.
When the atmosphere was about to cool down, Ye Ran raised his hand first: "You guys decide what to do. Brother Chu and I will go to the same room. Is that okay?"
Chu Mingjie also looked over.
Nod silently.
Obviously, he thought so too. It was impossible for him to share a room with a girl.
"Go away, go away, you're an eyesore. I don't want to see you."
Chen Kexin waved her hands with a look of disgust, chasing Ye Ran away like a stray dog.
"He's gone."
Ye Ran put on the grease and walked into the nearest room and took a seat. Chu Mingjie followed silently.
Went to the next seat.
I put down my umbrella, sat on the soft seat, and looked at the empty white table in the middle.
"Then Kexin, you and Qiao Xi..."
Zhang Qianxia also withdrew her gaze.
"Well, I'm here. You can come if you want. If you die in your sleep at night, it's none of my business."
Chen Kexin did not answer her directly.
Instead, he walked to the empty room next to him and sat down.
Zhang Qianxia saw this.
His eyes were sparkling, as if he had not expected this, and felt a little surprised and surprised.
but.
She still had some concerns and looked at Qiao Xi beside her with a somewhat embarrassed expression.
Noticing Zhang Qianxia's expression.
Qiao Xi also raised her head and smiled: "Go ahead, this is exactly what I want. Some privacy is not very convenient, and I don't really want to be seen."
Zhang Qianxia also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank you."
After saying this, she felt a little relieved and walked into the room where Chen Kexin was.
Qiao Xi calmly controlled her wheelchair to the last empty room.
Bronchial asthma is more severe in the early morning and at night.
Asthma patients may wheeze while asleep, or even wake up from suffocation. This disease is also prone to worsening symptoms at night, with chest tightness, difficulty breathing, or uncontrollable coughing during an attack, which can cause suffocation and wake up.
There is someone around.
It will indeed be more convenient and there will be care.
If a person feels unwell, there is someone nearby who can at least take care of him.
Chen Kexin and Zhang Qianxia seem to know each other.
They should have some understanding of each other, but it seems that these two people are still having a quarrel because of some conflict and have not reconciled yet.
Qiao Xi came to the last room that belonged to her.
She also liked to live alone.
This moment it really met her wishes.
She was in a good mood and maneuvered her wheelchair over to the place, where she began to tidy up her things and check the environment.
only.
The audience watching their daily live broadcast in the live broadcast room.
I started to feel a little sad again and entered emo mode.
[The second rabbit looks: Ahaha, this kid has been abandoned again!]
[Three rabbits buying medicine: He is truly a ruthless tool. I really pity this young lady.]
[Four Rabbits: What?]
[Hongsansan: Tsk tsk, being ignored again and again, I wonder how this girl feels]
[Bai Gan Gan: If you don’t understand, just ask, why was she left out?]
[Lying flat: Maybe he's an orphan?]
[Shui Guan Guan: Ugh, uh, uh, it's so pitiful to sleep alone!]
[Maishanshan: Then why not sleep on the floor!]
[Sister carrying a doll on her back: Why can’t I sleep in a coffin?]
In the comments section of the live broadcast room, most of the topics discussed were about Qiao Xi being ignored again.
When the discussion heats up.
A system prompt suddenly popped up at this time.
[The livestream has reached a buzz mark! Congratulations on opening up guest spots! Want to support your favorite passenger? Sign up now to accompany them!]
[System prompt: Limited time companionship has been opened, you can sign up freely]
The barrage of comments in the live broadcast room almost froze for a moment, and after the audience reacted, more barrage of comments came flooding in.
[Walk to the garden to see the cherry blossoms: Oh my goodness, go for it!]
This is also one of the fancy activities.
When their discussion on a passenger's topic exceeds a certain level of enthusiasm, they will receive corresponding benefits and start a limited-time activity to accompany the passenger.
That is to say.
Can meet briefly alone.
From the many applicants, a lucky audience member is chosen to accompany the passenger on the scene. Similar events have been held before, and passengers are usually moved to tears.
Then he was eliminated at the next stop.
They don’t know why either, maybe it’s because their company isn’t heartwarming enough.
Qiao Xi doesn't seem to have any plans to rest now.
So her live broadcast is still going on.
Chu Mingjie, Ye Ran, Chen Kexin and Zhang Qianxia were already washing up and preparing to rest, so the live broadcast was naturally interrupted.
The registration spots filled up quickly.
A lucky audience member was randomly drawn in the live broadcast room.
at the same time.
A new chat room suddenly appeared on Qiao Xi's phone.
And in this new chat room.
She is the only user there, and there is an announcement message that has just been released.
(Warm reminder: You have been lucky enough to be selected to participate in the live broadcast room event. An audience member will come to you to accompany you through the long night. You will have a high probability of getting lucky items dropped by the audience.)
Qiao Xi had just finished tidying up her room and was about to go wash up.
After seeing the phone screen suddenly light up and the message pop up, he seemed a little surprised.
Lucky?
“…” Qiao Xi was silent.
In a way, I was lucky. The guide said there would be no danger in the train.
so.
The audience came to her side to accompany her through what a long night...
Maybe it really just means literally.
