Chapter 233: Chapter 233 Confrontation Inside the Carriage_1
“These ghostly things…”
Colin furrowed his brows. It was his first ti riding the “Mist Train,” and he had also encountered these entities. They seed to be the train’s original passengers and also one of the sources of threat for the hitchhikers.
However, during his last ride, his abilities were limited, and he wasn’t as skilled in utilizing “Beastification” as he was now. Plus, having just been devoured as a result of “peeping” on the “Tyrant,” he had received a harsh lesson and since then dared not look too much.
Now, he could roughly feel that rely observing these things seed to pose no danger.
But even seeing them, Colin wasn’t quite clear on how to deal with them.
“Can’t feel any hostility, nor any other emotions, and there’s no scent. They don’t seem like normal creatures, more like so kind of natural phenonon?”
Colin wasn’t very sure.
In his sight, these ghastly, chilling shadows seed to walk or float towards the car he was in, which initially was the train’s head. They found seats casually and sat down as if no one else was there, seemingly just switching to different seats.
Others, seemingly discontent that the good spots in the carriage were taken, headed towards the back…
So were alone, others were in groups; so shadows looked like adults, and so like children, eerily moving along at a slow pace, scarcely faster than an octogenarian.
However, the creeping sense of horror that gradually floated in was not much diminished by their speed; on the contrary, it was even more oppressive…
Colin prepared to take action to see if he could drive them away, but after a mont’s thought, he put aside the idea.
Because according to his previous experience, as long as they didn’t touch for too long or sit in the sa spot, it seed there wouldn’t be any danger…
And if he took action, the risk was completely unknown.
Although intuitively, he felt he could handle these creatures, the possibility of a mishap was there, given the lack of information. Colin thought the likelihood of an accident was not insignificant…
“It seems like sothing is coming this way.” From behind, Hu Zheng, who held the highest official rank, had a sensation. They had also noticed that “Mist Train No. 7” seed to have connected to sothing.
But they hadn’t detected anything unusual…
Until those things closed in to a certain distance, and Hu Zheng was the first to sense sothing wrong.
He narrowed his eyes and then took a sharp breath; he could vaguely see so blurred, transparent entities moving towards them like ghosts.
Imdiately, Hu Zheng and the others looked towards Colin.
From Colin’s reaction, it was obvious that he had also seen these things, but he hadn’t taken any action.
For a ti, they did not move either.
“Don’t worry, as long as there’s no direct contact with them, there should be no problem… I’ll handle it.”
Colin also got up from his seat. Not knowing the nature of these entities, he didn’t really want to clash with them.
In every carriage at the back, not one was filled to capacity…
“It seems like the ‘Father of the Deep Sea’ has so predictability concerning the anomalies on the train itself?”
Colin mused and counted the shadows heading towards the back; there were nine in total.
Whenever a shadow decided to take a seat, he made the person in that seat get up imdiately and switch places, making room for the anomalies to sit.
Finally, after several reseatings, the incident was smoothly resolved.
“Indeed, dealing with anomalies isn’t about fighting and killing. If it can be resolved peacefully, then it should be resolved peacefully.”
Colin silently nodded to himself, very satisfied with the temporary solution he had implented.
Luckily, after those nine shadows, no others appeared…
But at that mont, one of the figures who had just sat down, seemingly smaller like a child, stood up, apparently dissatisfied with their seat, and walked towards another spot.
“They’re still changing seats? Why does it seem like this didn’t happen before…”
Colin didn’t say anything and continued to dispatch it, allowing it to sit down smoothly.
After it sat down, the two figures that had followed it, appearing to be “adults,” also started moving and sat down next to it.
Seeing it seated, Colin withdrew his gaze, ready to leave, but then he saw that the smaller figure stood up again…
His eyes narrowed slightly, and he continued to make arrangents, asking the survivors of The Seventh Box Garden World in the seat to make room for it.
However, just like before, it stood up again shortly after sitting down!
At this rate, it seed like it wouldn’t be long before it left again.
“Once and again, and thrice. You’re taking advantage of my kindness, huh!”
Colin’s breath hitched, and his temper flared up imdiately.
He swiftly shut the carriage partition door behind him, and a burst of fla erupted from his body.
In that instant, all four figures in the compartnt turned their heads simultaneously, casting a chilling and uncanny gaze.
Not only that, but he could even feel the icy stares from the figures in the other carriages, as if they were penetrating through the partitions and focusing on him…
Sizzle—
The dim yellow light in the carriage flickered as if the voltage was unstable, casting an exceptionally gloomy light.
Compared to utter darkness, such gloomy lighting felt even more oppressive and unnerving.
After a brief silence, all the figures stood up.
“Seems like I got a bit impulsive… It must be ‘Beastification’s’ fault!”
Colin felt his emotions had been a bit off just now and suspected it was due to using the powers of “Beastification,” thus causing him to be sowhat influenced.
But now it was too late to talk about that; he drew “Revolver Contrarian,” ready for the impending skirmish.
However, just as Colin’s revolver was aid at that “little brat,” he suddenly saw it tremble imperceptibly, bow its head, and sit back down.
This ti it finally appeared as though it had no intention of standing up again…
Moreover, all those gazes retracted and the figures returned to their original places.
This response made Colin pause, and then a flash of insight struck him as he realized sothing.
“These guys… are they afraid of this revolver? No, that’s not it…”
Colin’s mind raced as he inspected the firearm in his hand, as if seeing into its deeper essence: “Are they afraid of the forr master of this revolver?”
For now, it appeared that “Revolver Contrarian” had also belonged to a senior employee, and as a senior employee, they would certainly not be unfamiliar with this train and must have been aboard before.
It’s just unknown what they had done in the past to resolve this conflict so effortlessly with rely a relic.
On the other side, Qin Chuan and the others didn’t feel much; they could only sense the presence of sothing other than themselves aboard the train, but they couldn’t see or determine what it was.
Only Hu Zheng, who had just switched sections, could vaguely catch a glimpse of the situation…
“What’s the situation?” Qin Chuan asked Hu Zheng in a whisper.
There had been a mont when he felt as if so kind of uprising was about to occur in the carriage, but then it settled down after a while.
