141: Episode 141: The Train That Never Stops (Part 10)
She had only been trapped in the illusion for a moment; how did it get so lively here?
The passengers at the door were still refusing to give way, each wanting to get inside.
Qian Ye was very curious about what was behind them, why they wanted to squeeze in so badly, and why they chose this place.
At that thought, the corners of Qian Ye's mouth quirked up, her eyes flickering with a mischievous smile. "Hehe, I want to go over there. You guys need to make way."
Qian Ye didn't wait for their answer; she just gave them notice. The next second, she raised her foot and kicked directly at the crowded group of people.
With a "clatter," the whole group of people fell to the ground.
"Phew, now the air is much clearer."
Qian Ye took a deep breath, stepped over them, and walked toward the carriages behind. At a glance—good heavens, a familiar sight.
Behind them, the players were being wound in circles of white thread, and soon, their entire bodies would be completely wrapped up.
"Tsk tsk, no wonder you slipped away so fast. So you were here."
Qian Ye raised her hand, and a red light flashed from her sleeve. The red threads, like a runaway horse, charged directly at those white threads.
"Mm, if I didn't know better, I'd think you'd found your wife."
Qian Ye grinned. Something on her wrist scratched her, and she patted it.
"Master, that... that... where's Ling Ling?"
Qian Ye was a bit surprised to hear the voice. With a flip of her hand, the familiar flower pot appeared.
"Tsk tsk tsk, I thought you'd wandered off to some unknown corner."
"What, missing your future wife already~"
"M-Master, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Qian Ye clicked her tongue repeatedly.
"Suit yourself."
"Hey, hey, cough, so where is Ling Ling..."
"She is in a deep sleep."
The environment here isn't suitable for her to remain awake for long.
With that sentence, Little Flower went quiet.
Yes, it was because of the environment there that they had taken her away in the first place.
"Master, how did Ling Ling end up... here back then?"
Qian Ye pursed her lips. "I haven't been there for a long time. Who knew so many things would happen now."
Over by the white threads, the red threads became entangled with them, and the players were rescued.
When the white threads saw the red threads, they only wanted to hide.
They hadn't expected that even after escaping, they would still fall into its hands.
The red threads seemed to be toying with them like playthings, never directly finishing them off.
"Alright, stop playing."
At Qian Ye's command, the red light around the white threads instantly intensified, and the entire carriage was filled with spreading red threads.
The white threads were completely surrounded and were swallowed up bit by bit by the red threads.
Finally, the red threads returned to Qian Ye's side, satisfied.
Having witnessed this scene, the passengers and players looked at Qian Ye with different eyes.
The passengers were afraid; they hadn't expected such a person to be on the train.
The players, on the other hand, were shocked; they hadn't expected to encounter someone so powerful.
This person should be a player.
After all, the NPCs here all seemed to be non-human; not a single one was normal.
After Qian Ye's display, the passengers hovered at the door, hesitating.
"You're so amazing! Can I follow you?"
A young man broke through the crowd and came before Qian Ye, staring at her with sparkling eyes, as if seeing a savior.
Qian Ye blinked, and before she could speak, he continued, "I... I can do anything. Please consider it, Sister~"
As he spoke, he winked at Qian Ye, completely failing to notice that the boy beside her had turned dark-faced.
He was still trying his best to sell himself.
Qian Ye lazily glanced at her small frame and quirked the corner of her mouth. Calling her "Sister"?
This was a masterclass in lying through one's teeth.
Qian Ye didn't want to deal with him.
Once everything was resolved, Bai Lin finally remembered he was still holding An Ke's hand.
"S-Sorry." Bai Lin's face turned red.
In his haste, he had forgotten.
An Ke shook her head.
She came to Qian Ye's side.
"Big shot, the carriages behind are all being locked down. The further back you go, the more carriages are sealed. Now there are only four carriages left."
"Oh~"
"Then how did these people end up here?"
"They were forced by those white threads. They had no choice but to run forward, and in the end, they all squeezed in here."
Suddenly, the familiar loudspeaker sounded. It was that familiar voice again: the train would soon arrive at Youth Palace.
Qian Ye was familiar with the subsequent process and just sat waiting for the train's next stop.
When the passengers heard the sound, they also quickly returned. However, this time, the carriage was not quiet.
Sounds of fighting could be heard from time to time.
Qian Ye sat steadily, her eyes closed as she rested.
Bai Lin and An Ke stood to one side. An Ke was hesitating, looking at Bai Lin and then at Qian Ye.
"If you want to sit, then sit. Why are you staring at me?"
At those words, An Ke looked delighted and pulled Bai Lin down to sit.
The strange creature at her seat was gone. In the carriage, besides Qian Ye, there were Cang Bei, An Ke, and Bai Lin.
At this moment, there was still one figure who refused to leave.
His eyes were fixed on Qian Ye, filled with a sense of determination to win her over.
"Sister~"
Before Qian Ye could react, Cang Bei's expression instantly changed, and his pupils suddenly became deep.
His entire eye sockets were filled with blackness as he stared fixedly at the person at the door.
When the boy met his eyes, it was as if he had fallen into an endless darkness.
"You deserve to die..."
"No, you're already about to die..."
"Mm, then I'll grant you death by suffocation at the next stop~"
The boy just stared into Cang Bei's eyes as an ethereal and evil voice entered his mind, over and over again.
"No, no, no!"
"Aaaahhh..."
"What's going on?"
An Ke looked at the boy at the door; it was He Feng. They had introduced themselves when they first entered the game, so she had some impression of him.
This person had a bad reputation. In the game, he only survived by clinging to powerful experts.
Now, it seemed he had set his sights on the big shot.
Seeing Qian Ye with her eyes closed and no reaction, she didn't say anything more.
Looking at He Feng, a flash of disgust crossed her eyes. "He Feng, what kind of trouble are you trying to stir up now? Are you trying to attract the big shot's attention like this?"
The more she looked, the more disgusted she became. He looked as if he had no bones, appearing very effeminate.
"No, no, no..."
"Let me go."
He Feng seemed not to hear An Ke's words. His eyes were vacant, filled with fear.
Bai Lin noticed something was wrong and tapped An Ke to alert her.
Only then did An Ke realize he was trembling all over, as if facing something terrifying.
"What's the situation?"
Bai Lin shook his head.
Cang Bei's back was to them. At this moment, the blackness in his eyes faded, returning to normal. Bai Lin and the others didn't notice this scene.
He Feng felt as if he had walked on the edge of hell. That sense of pressure was terrifying.
Now, he had no energy left to attract Qian Ye's attention. At this moment, his mind was filled with that repeating sentence.
Next stop, death by suffocation.
Next stop, death by suffocation.
No, no, it can't be.
He wants to live.
How can he die?
He walked toward the back, looking completely despondent.
"What on earth is he up to?"
An Ke's eyes were filled with confusion.
Bai Lin shook his head, watching his retreating back, which was filled with exhaustion. "He might have experienced something without us knowing..."
That state he was in just now...
