Chapter 267: Chapter 244 You Turned Dark Too Early_2 Chapter 267: Chapter 244 You Turned Dark Too Early_2 Passengers in Car No.

13 indeed did not rush out, the hundred or so people were scattered, blocking both ends of the aisle, only seeing bursts of light flying around inside; it seed like the combat in the cramped carriage was fierce.

However, the young woman had no intention of offering help.

…

The Male Salesman was the first to attack.

He clearly rembered the result of his divination and, upon noticing a middle-aged man’s similar behavior of checking outside through the window nearby, he decisively chose to take action!

Although there were less than ten minutes left in the ga’s countdown, even this brief period was enough for countless unforeseen events to occur!

...

To let the train continue on its journey would probably lead to even more terrifying outcos, so rather than wait, it was better to deal with everything inside the carriage first!

Capture the ringleader first!

When the Male Salesman suddenly dashed forward, the little girl who sensed it let out an extrely angry screech, a piercing sonic wave that slowed his movents for a mont, and the next instant the little girl disappeared from her spot.

The Male Salesman, who had leaped over the seats in pursuit, grabbed at thin air, but his outstretched right hand did not hesitate to turn and violently grabbed Xu Shuo standing next to him!

His fingers clenched fiercely, his hard-as-iron fingertips piercing the skin of the neck, but as he was about to continue twisting the other’s neck, the Male Salesman’s action abruptly halted.

Xu Shuo was holding a dagger he had just seized, its sharp tip was already silently pressing against the Male Salesman’s throat.

As the latter’s fingertips sank in, the dagger nudged against the carotid artery in his throat.

Xu Shuo looked at him and raised an eyebrow.

The Male Salesman stiffly loosened his grip, and as he relaxed, the dagger also moved slightly away.

The two cautiously and slowly stopped their lethal moves against each other, and only when a relatively safe distance was established did the Male Salesman flash away in retreat.

At this mont, the surrounding passengers let out low and hoarse roars; adults and children in the carriage alike turned bizarre and ferocious, with black liquid seeping from their flesh and blood, staggering towards them!

The zombies moved very slowly, so despite their large numbers, they were not yet unmanageable.

“Who exactly are you?”

The Male Salesman pulled out a pistol from his pocket, guarding against the approaching zombies while probing Xu Shuo, “Aiding tyranny is not good behavior, these monsters should be enemies of us all.”

Xu Shuo was bandaging the wound on his palm and rely glanced at him, not speaking.

Heh, he just tried to kill him a mont ago.

Probably because he saw the little girl staying with him, he harbored the ‘better kill wrongfully than let go’ mindset and decided to treat him as a monster too.

After Xu Shuo stemd the bleeding in his palm, he held the seized dagger in hand and looked up at the luggage racks on the train.

Sure enough, the little girl who had disappeared was squatting on the luggage rack.

She too had begun to turn, her pitch-black pupils shining with angry ferocity, sinisterly staring at the Male Salesman below.

Xu Shuo stood still on the inside of the seat, for the zombies did not actively attack him, and he, in turn, felt too lazy to engage them.

We’re almost at the outside…

The train rumbled forward, and the entire carriage was silently under constant transformation.

Countless passengers roared towards the players, using their sharp claws and teeth as weapons, like beasts and evil ghosts tearing and biting.

The young man, having touched the little girl’s body and gotten slightly contaminated, was in worse shape compared to the other two, but he still had the strength to fight against these slow-moving zombies.

The Male Salesman was watching Xu Shuo, and he watched Xu Shuo too.

After realizing he was contaminated, he had submitted the task “Identify the murderer of the little girl,” and it hadn’t shown as failed, aning this middle-aged man in front of him was indeed the murderer!

The script’s tasks, no matter which, were all related to the “little girl,” which suggested the possibility that she was kidnapped by traffickers and then murdered.

Now there’s a little girl in the carriage who has turned into a monster.

But if the deduction isn’t wrong, why would the monster show favor to the murderer?

What exactly is the identity of the monster?

And what in the world is inside the suitcase?

The little girl’s apparent identity was that of the woman’s daughter, but now both the woman and her son had turned into zombies, and even all the passengers and the compartnts of this train had mutated!

What has happened to this train…?

The young man got caught in a ntal maelstrom, the excessive thinking making his head feel even more in pain.

Boom—

Suddenly, the roaring sound from the tracks seed to intensify!

The green-skin train swayed unsteadily, charging unstoppably towards the distance, where the view outside the window suddenly widened, and ahead was a massive red high bridge!

As the train turned and rushed towards the high bridge, through the windows of carriage number thirteen at the end, one could see the locomotive had already ascended the bridge.

The bridge was very long, allowing the entire train to travel fully on it.

However, the silvery-grey interior walls of the carriage were now filled with a black liquid seeping through the cracks, seats were torn and tattered, iron plates on the tables rusted and deford, and the whole carriage was tainted with the scent of decay.

The carelessly splattered scarlet blood at every corner of the carriage was startling and ferocious, the carriage, completely transford, was ravaged as if it had suffered so great disaster!

“Not good!”

The Male Salesman suddenly realized sothing.

The young man was even quicker to follow up his words, “It’s gonna crash!

The train will fall off the bridge!”

So from the beginning, apart from the players, there were essentially no living people at all; the passengers in the carriages were actually all dead from a prior train crash!

The challenge of this assessnt was not only to deduce the murderer but to survive a train crash in thirty minutes!

The entire storyline only had half an hour!

This ant that after the ga began, players had to complete more than half the tasks within ten minutes to start the ga’s final countdown, ensuring they could leave the script before the train transford!

—This was their current speculation.

But in reality, if it weren’t for the little girl’s frequent mischief, which caused her to turn wicked early, they would have had at least thirty minutes of leisurely deduction ti.

“Hee hee hee hee~~”

The distinct laughter of a child rang out, sotis far, sotis near, sinking and floating, sharp and hoarse.

In the carriage, those passengers who were originally slow to move now glinted with ferocity in their eyes, their torn and split mouths let out ghastly howls as their arms and bodies beca strong and vigorous, rapidly charging at the players!

The female office worker swiftly kicked an onrushing passenger, but the rotting corpse instantly dissolved into a pool of black liquid on the floor, moving sluggishly and stickily.

She paused, stepped back, and lifted the sole of her shoe coated with the black, viscous substance.

Those pitch-black things had, unnoticed, spread across the carriage, and previously defeated rotting bodies had lted into the darkness, swirling and bubbling on the floor.

“Stop fighting!” the female office worker shouted sharply.

But in an instant, the Male Salesman vigorously shot and took down several passengers, and the young man’s strike was just as rciless.

The female office worker shouted in desperation, “Save your strength, you can’t kill these things!”

The passengers kept coming in an endless stream, and as the defeated rotting corpses fell to the ground, they would be devoured and amalgamated by the darkness.

So after fighting for a while, not only was the carriage not blocked by heaps of bodies, but it beca even more spacious, and at the sa ti, the darkness inside the carriage grew denser.

This phenonon beca more and more apparent after the train entered the high bridge.

“Ha ha~”

The little girl perched on the luggage rack, clapping her hands happily.

The three of them stood back to back, and when they looked up, they saw a broken, rotting, weird child lying there, its body stitched together like chunks of a torn corpse.

The little girl’s previously smooth, shoulder-length hair clumped together, dripping with sticky red and black substances, her entire body twisted into a bizarre shape, like an Evil Ghost!

At the sight of this child, the young man’s body shook violently, with a multitude of chaotic murmurs and strange laughs echoing in his mind.

He covered his head in discomfort, despite having already used the Purification item, but still, he couldn’t fend off the corruption.

Seeing him like this, the Male Salesman and the female office worker not only had to be on guard against the surrounding passengers but now had to be wary of him as well.

“I’m fine…” the young man said through gritted teeth.

“…”

The other two were silent, but their eyes spoke volus.

Then, their gaze shifted to Xu Shuo beside them, the Male Salesman stopping short of speaking.

—Only this guy hadn’t been attacked by the monster.

—What exactly was his identity?

Xu Shuo had been looking out the window all along, ignoring the situation inside the carriage when he suddenly spoke without warning, “We’re here.”

As his words fell, the train began to tilt.
