Chapter 103: The Lost in the Rift
"Guest... please find your seat and sit down... Have a pleasant journey."
Accompanied by the shrill mechanical welcome of the horn, he was already in a new world, a world without the sun.
Chen Qi quickly scanned the surrounding scene.
The walls of the carriage were covered in thick copper plates and rust, inlaid with delicate gears and clockwork.
The light from the steam lamp above illuminated the dim carriage in a mottled manner, casting long shadows, as if countless pairs of eyes were peering in the dark.
There was a vibrating iron plate under his feet, and with every step he could feel the vibration of the carriage speeding across the ground.
In front of him, an old man with a dull face and a black hat was sitting on the simple seat, holding an old newspaper and flipping through it.
But the most horrifying thing was the scene outside the car window.
It was the scene of the Age of No Light, with black hills one after another and the dark sky constantly wriggling.
The cracks between the shadow and the light are still as scary as ever... Chen Qi thought to himself.
Follow the information Ann gave him.
In the carriage, the key points he needs to check are the sound of the horn, the view through the window, the old man's appearance, and the drinks on the ground.
There are also shadows under the seats and the spiritual field of the entire carriage.
If these things are the same as in the first carriage, it means that this carriage is a normal carriage and continues to move forward.
On the contrary, if an abnormality occurs, you must immediately retreat and then re-enter the next car.
If you make a mistake, you will be besieged by shadow monsters.
Theoretically, this is a crack that can be passed through without any harm as long as you remain calm.
Why do so many hunters fail?
Chen Qi remained alert and followed the strategy to identify every key point in front of him.
The horn sounds normal, the view outside the car window is normal, the old man reading the newspaper is normal, and the shadow under the seat is normal.
"Everything is fine, proceed to the next car."
Chen Qi said in his heart, and walked towards the second carriage with crisp steps.
His footsteps landed on the second carriage.
"Guest... please find your seat and sit down... I wish you a pleasant journey."
The horn sounded again.
And the moment he entered the second carriage, Chen Qi felt something unusual!
The view outside the window was normal.
But the old man reading the newspaper in front of him had a bright red eye and a black mouth on the back of his head.
The black mouth curled up slightly, as if smiling with the whole train:
"Guest, do you want to have fun?"
"It's quite scary..."
Chen Qi couldn't help but curse.
Without any hesitation, he lightly stroked the blade with his index finger.
A huge blue will-o'-the-wisp flame ignited from the blade.
After all, he had fought with the offshore overlord.
But the atmosphere on this train was too depressing, and he was not very courageous, so he had to use firepower to resolve his fear!
"???"
What's going on?
The 'old man reading the newspaper' seemed frightened and stepped back instinctively.
As it retreated, it revealed its true appearance, with a large number of twisted black pustules growing from its body:
“Humans…”
No need to give it time to speak!
Draw the sword and slash with will-o'-the-wisp fire!
Chen Qi gathered his strength, took a step forward, and swung the knife from his waist, drawing a bright will-o'-the-wisp in the air.
The dark monster's blood splattered!
The blue flames tore through the narrow carriage in an instant.
“Ahhhhhh!!!”
Before the old man reading the newspaper could reveal his true form, he was torn into pieces of charcoal by the ghost fire and black air.
[Kill the humanoid shadow monster and gain 120 spiritual points. ]
"call……"
Chen Qi looked at the prompt in front of him and let out a long sigh.
Will-O-Ghost Oil is a supernatural flame that can be ignited by spiritual power and can cause huge damage to shadow monsters.
Fortunately, I reacted quickly and my firepower was strong enough!
Sure enough, only the blade in hand can alleviate the fear brought by the darkness.
Chen Qi squatted down and checked under the seat again.
The fluctuations in spiritual energy here are also abnormal.
“Wow wow wow wow!”
The shadow under the seat seemed to have seen a monster and kept crawling towards the corner.
They were scared.
"There are no powerful monsters. This carriage is abnormal. Go back."
Chen Qi placed the black knife on his shoulder.
Then he returned to the previous car and moved forward again.
Normal, forward...
Abnormal, kill them all, gain 200 spiritual points, retreat...
Normal, forward...
…
"Guest... please find your seat and sit down... Have a pleasant journey."
Chen Qi kept his focus and moved forward repeatedly, and finally, he reached the twentieth carriage.
At this moment, there are at most five carriages away from the driving carriage at the head.
It was unexpectedly easy, this crack was not as difficult as I had imagined.
Chen Qi squatted down.
The scene in the carriage before him was beyond his expectations.
The body of the old man reading the newspaper fell to the ground, and a large amount of dark brown blood flowed out.
A large number of seats were severely damaged as if they had been hit by a sledgehammer.
Another scary scene... Chen Qi took out the cute Deep Sea Water Elf No. 1 from the backpack card and touched it.
"Wakuwaku (Master, hug me!)"
The deep sea water elf leaned closer.
Fortunately, during this terrifying carriage journey, he had the lovely water elf to accompany him.
“Not normal…”
Chen Qi subconsciously stepped back, preparing to look back.
However, he suddenly asked himself:
“Is it really abnormal?”
Chen Qi rejected this option.
Although the scene in front of me is very different from the scene in the first carriage.
But his inspiration told him that the spiritual field in this carriage was normal.
The fluctuation of spiritual power is the key to determining whether the carriage is normal or not.
The fallen body of the old man reading the newspaper, the damaged car chairs, everything in front of me looked like a scene of human destruction.
Chen Qi squatted down and looked again.
There was no trace of the shadow monster in the entire carriage.
Something was misleading him.
I was almost misled by this poor arrangement.
"Finally, it's a little interesting..."
Chen Qi's mouth corners curled up slightly, his cheeks flushed slightly, revealing a hint of excitement.
He had been walking for so long when he finally encountered something strange.
This looks like a crack with high distortion and high mortality rate!
The black knife in Chen Qi's hand was already thirsty.
The black knife slowly slid across the ground, leaving a scorching flame on the rusty floor.
The black knife slashed across the 21st carriage.
The moment he stepped in, the mechanical horn sounded, making an unprecedented and terrifying sound.
"Guest... now that you are here, please don't leave... Let's go through the gutter together... and reach the sea of flowers on the other side..."
Chen Qi glanced around, and spiritual energy carrying negative emotions permeated the entire small compartment.
At this moment, the old man reading the newspaper has turned into black fragments!
Instead, there was a white-haired young man lying on the ground.
He was wearing the latest hunter uniform and had a new collector rifle on his waist.
At the same time, the legs were severely damaged and large amounts of dark brown blood continued to flow out.
After seeing Chen Qi coming in, the white-haired young man shed tears and shouted:
“Finally, I finally waited for it, I thought there were no other hunters coming!
Please save me, my leg is broken, please pull me up.
I will reward you. My family is very rich. I can give you 5 million shells. In addition, there are also valuable skill cards!"
"Do you need help?"
Chen Qi walked to his side and carefully felt the spiritual power of this monster.
It has really turned into a monster... He placed the deep-sea elf on the car seat.
The monstrous young man in front of him was undoubtedly the corpse that the admiral of the navy had entrusted him to bring back.
But now, the corpse is enveloped in a crazy shadowy aura.
Find the commission target!
But judging from the evil spirit on this body, he will have to act as an exorcist for a while.
Chen Qi said excitedly:
"Little guy, let me remind you that this rift is a single-person rift. Two humans cannot exist at the same time."
“…”
The moment he finished speaking, Chen Qi raised his head, smiled slightly, grasped the black knife with both hands, and then stabbed it downwards towards the monster's head!
Phew!
The blue fire and the black gas kept tearing each other apart!
With a loud bang, the white young man's skin instantly turned into charcoal.
At the last moment, its body twisted, turned into an afterimage, and suddenly distanced itself.
Boom boom boom!
A large amount of manic shadow power was surging in the carriage.
The whole carriage was shaking!
“Human!”
At this moment, with negative emotions, the monster's murmurs were heard again in the carriage:
"You have already received the means to die..."
Bright red inspiration jumps out.
[You have angered the forbidden existence of Train No. 8 - the Lost One in the Rift!
Crack distortion increased by 5%!
Please pay attention to your life safety! 】
