Kaidan Game Train: A Chapter 2275: A Trap

Chapter 2275: Chapter 2275: A Trap

This morning went without much suspense, and after lunch, Xu Huo, the Girl in the painting, Zhu Xiaojin, Tang Yu, and Old Cai followed the local person to where She lives.

Probably because they saw him walking with a local resident, people along the way offered them goodwill. In just a few days, District 6 seed to have undergone a significant transformation.

"My childhood dream was to change the world. That wish is probably hard to realize now, but changing a small city is also good," Zhu Xiaojin responded enthusiastically.

Tang Yu remained silent beside him, only stopping him from accepting things, "There aren’t many supplies to begin with. If you take them, they won’t have enough."

Zhu Xiaojin found sense in that and took a token amount, even offered to pay for them.

The group soon arrived at the woman’s residence, and only upon reaching downstairs did they realize that She lived in an old residential district. The layout of the district was quite odd; all the buildings were connected above the sixth floor, and the spacing between the buildings was narrow, making the entire district resemble a large circle.

To be frank, from the exterior walls, this district doesn’t count as the oldest in District 6, yet walking inside gives one an oppressive feeling. People live here, but not many. As they entered, quite a few people peeked out, but upon noticing their gaze, quickly ducked back inside.

"This place... doesn’t look very auspicious," Zhu Xiaojin comnted.

The woman chuckled, "This used to be a family welfare district with many elderly residents, and funerals are frequent. Over ti, fewer people remain, and outsiders are reluctant to move in. Anyway, there are many vacant apartnts, no need to live here... Those who stay are old residents, emotionally attached, unwilling to leave."

"That’s how it is." Xu Huo spoke mildly, "In Bu Liu City under such circumstances, it’s quite difficult that so many elderly still live in this district."

"Indeed." The woman sighed, "They are the ones most sentintal about this city; there’s nothing about Bu Liu City’s past they don’t know."

"But many are old, making it inconvenient to go up and down the stairs."

"I don’t think they seem particularly grateful." Tang Yu ntioned.

"Older people generally have weird tempers." The woman went to the third floor and knocked on a door. Soon, the sound of a cane tapping approached the door, and upon hearing the woman ntion Xu Huo as the new Governor, the elderly lady warmly invited them in for tea, expressing ’sincere’ gratitude to the governnt and hopes for the future, emphasizing the inconvenience in travel and hoping the Municipal Governnt could develop more equipnt for the elderly.

"It’s not good to make demands right away." The woman embarrassedly stopped the elderly lady, while news spread fast in the district. In no ti, quite a few elderly gathered, expressing gratitude to Xu Huo and the group, just as the woman had said.

"It’s making

a bit uncomfortable." Breaking away from the elderly’s circle, Zhu Xiaojin comnted.

The visit seed to end, and just as the woman was about to escort them away, it started to rain suddenly. The rain was heavy, and the woman went upstairs to fetch umbrellas but never returned.

The rain intensified, gradually drowning out the other sounds in the district.

Soon, Zhu Xiaojin sensed sothing amiss, "People in the district seem to have vanished!"

"You just noticed?" Tang Yu held a prop in hand, vigilantly surveying the surroundings, "I felt sothing wrong upon entering; they made quite an effort gathering so many elderly to perform this act."

"Performing?" Zhu Xiaojin’s voice raised slightly in disbelief, "That’s odd, my prop didn’t pick anything up."

"This is a city full of criminals. From the toxic food and harmful treatnt of outsiders, you can tell this won’t change overnight. Compared to passing players, they likely resent us more, being accustod to lawlessness." Xu Huo said, "I initially thought the Municipal Governnt led us here deliberately, but now it seems they didn’t."

"If it were a trap, surely it wouldn’t just involve old folks," Old Cai comnted, "Let’s leave."

Saying so, he took out a Teleportation Prop, intending to leave the district directly. Unexpectedly, the sky suddenly turned dark, and an old clock on a second-floor balcony rang to indicate ti, "Current ti, District timing, 8 PM."

Old Cai paused, "Did I see wrong? An illusion?"

Whether it’s an illusion can be verified, Xu Huo moved to the district gate and pushed it open, only for the outside street view to be replaced by another circular district.

"What’s going on?" Zhu Xiaojin was about to step out when Tang Yu stopped him, "Don’t wander off, it just chid 8 PM, and the sky’s already dark."

Not only had it turned dark, but lights in occupied apartnts were also switched on; the dim lighting seed ready to extinguish at any mont, making the district appear even more gloomy, intermixed with so red glows, evidently used during offerings.

"Vacant apartnts used for placing morial tablets?" Tang Yu glanced toward a district corner, "Soone’s burning paper money."

A few elderly won appeared behind the greenery suddenly, mumbling while splitting yellow paper. The flickering flas cast changing light on their faces, almost obscuring their features, revealing only the sa blank and aged expressions.

Xu Huo and his group’s expressions turned strange. Truth be told, they’ve encountered intelligent inanimate objects and plants in instances before but never encountered spiritual phenona. In fact, most instances in the Dinsional Rift ga are based on fact, matching players’ power growth logically. If supernatural entities oppose players successfully, they must have a physical form or involve ntal Interference or similar, in general traceable, simply creating an atmosphere alone can’t scare players. Likewise, in instances, except for ultra-strong boss-level entities, it’s impossible to have sothing completely overpower players.

Thus, the sudden ergence of such a district left players feeling bewildered.

"Gas within instances, could there also be random instances within the instance?" Zhu Xiaojin chuckled, "This instance, it suddenly seems like Hengxing Company is a bit amateurish."

"Not quite an instance." Old Cai said, "Perhaps quite strong Interference Props; I’ve seen so props with compulsory effects. Though troubleso, they’re not overly problematic. Mainly, you just need to find the player holding the prop. Compulsory props, while effective, have many restrictions; the player should be within the district."
