146: Chapter 146: The Train That Never Stops (Part 15)

"Cough, cough..."

As the train moved, Bai Lin suddenly felt unwell.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

He subconsciously placed his hand to his mouth to cough lightly.

The moment he raised his hand, he froze.

Whose hand was this before his eyes, covered in wrinkles and age spots?

He looked at his other hand in disbelief; it was the same.

Was his vision blurring?

Bai Lin instinctively looked toward Qian Ye.

He found her still with her eyes closed, showing no reaction, and she hadn't changed at all.

This put him slightly at ease.

It must be that he was too exhausted.

His eyes then turned toward An Ke, staring at her without blinking.

In his eyes, An Ke's beautiful hair had turned grey, and her face was covered in wrinkles.

!!!

Instantly, Bai Lin looked at his own hands again.

He no longer cared about the pain; he clawed at his face with both hands, clearly feeling the wrinkles under his touch.

He had also aged!

Twilight! Twilight!

So this was what it meant!

"Cough, cough, cough..."

"Ah... cough, cough..."

Bai Lin wanted to speak, but as soon as he opened his mouth, his voice sounded like that of a person in their twilight years.

It was full of old age.

Bai Lin struggled to sit up.

No!

He could not just sit and wait for death.

But at this moment, he realized that while he was no longer in pain, he had transformed into an old man.

His entire body had become sluggish.

Bai Lin struggled for a long time, unable to stand up, just continuing to struggle.

Hearing the constant movement beside her, Qian Ye frowned and opened her eyes.

As she opened her eyes and saw the person in front of her, her eyes were filled with astonishment.

In her eyes, there was an old man beside her, currently struggling to stand up but unable to do so.

"Uh... do you need help?"

Qian Ye watched the persistent Bai Lin and asked cautiously.

"I, cough, I can..."

"I..."

"Cough... definitely..."

"Definitely... can do it..."

Since he didn't want anyone's help, Qian Ye wouldn't force it.

Besides noticing the changes in him, Qian Ye saw that An Ke opposite them had also changed.

Hunched over and still asleep, her full head of white hair was particularly striking.

Qian Ye was very curious; what had happened?

Bai Lin struggled to sit up, moved beside An Ke, and looked at the unchanged Qian Ye with a face full of confusion and vigilance.

"You... why haven't you changed at all?"

Bai Lin, now hunched over with grey hair, asked while lifting his eyelids.

Qian Ye noticed that with every word he spoke, his condition worsened.

Listening to him, Qian Ye curled her lips slightly.

"No changes?"

Qian Ye raised her hand and looked at it.

With a smirk, she looked at him, "I don't even know how many years I've lived; what could it possibly do to me?"

After she finished speaking, Bai Lin looked at her with disbelief.

He only felt that she had her own way of saving her life and was just unwilling to tell them.

"This, on this train, now... only... the three of us are left..."

"No, shouldn't we... help... each other?"

"Cough, cough, cough..."

Seeing him looking as if he wanted to cough his lungs out, Qian Ye kindly reminded him.

"I suggest it would be better for you not to speak."

Here, at this moment, it seemed that the more one spoke, the more vitality was drained away.

Looking at the still-unconscious An Ke, although she was also in an aged state, she was clearly in better condition than him.

Bai Lin's expression changed.

He only thought that she found him annoying.

The train continued to move, and Bai Lin found it increasingly difficult to breathe.

No, he could not die.

"Respected passengers, the last stop, Twilight Coffin station, has arrived. Please exchange your tickets."

The familiar voice instantly gave Bai Lin energy.

"Great, great, we've arrived!"

"The game is over, we... succeeded!"

Hearing the loudspeaker, Bai Lin felt his spirits lift.

He waited quietly for the train to stop at the station.

A murmur came; it was An Ke's voice.

An Ke struggled to get up, feeling weak all over, very sleepy, and unable to summon any energy.

Her eyes were also a bit blurry.

What was going on?

In a daze, An Ke seemed to see that her hands were full of wrinkles, withered like an old person's hands.

She wanted to rub her eyes to see clearly what was happening, but when she raised her hand to her eyes, she saw it clearly.

It had indeed become withered and old.

Her eyes widened suddenly as she looked at her surroundings.

It was the train.

What was going on?

Why was she like this?

"Cough, cough, cough..."

"You, you're awake..."

An aged voice sounded from the side; An Ke turned her head and looked, her eyes filled with shock.

"You... you... are Bai... Lin..."

Bai Lin nodded with difficulty.

An Ke couldn't believe she had turned into this ghastly state.

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw another figure opposite them.

It was Su Ye!

Unwillingness flashed through An Ke's mind.

Why?

Why hadn't she changed at all!

An Ke's face twisted, and Bai Lin and she exchanged a glance simultaneously.

An unknown emotion in their eyes unexpectedly met.

Instantly, both of them knew their next common goal.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

"What on earth happened?"

An Ke couldn't believe she had turned into this Old Woman's appearance, and staring at Qian Ye's exquisite makeup, the distortion in her eyes deepened.

Just then, the train had come to a complete stop.

The train doors slowly opened.

The sudden brightness made people somewhat unaccustomed to it.

"Is... is this the end?"

Bai Lin's eyes were filled with nothing but chaos; he could no longer see the surrounding environment clearly.

Qian Ye had already taken the first step, leaving the carriage and stepping onto the platform.

At this moment, that Train Conductor in the black uniform appeared quietly.

Standing beside Bai Lin, looking at his state, he slowly leaned close to Bai Lin's ear.

"You... are dying..."

"Heh heh~"

"You should be able to feel it..."

"Do you want to live?"

"Here... is a chance."

"Do you want it?"

The Train Conductor's eyes revealed an evil aura as he stared at Bai Lin, then slowly stood up straight.

"Three."

"Two."

"One."

"Yes, I want it!"

"What must I give in return?" Bai Lin grabbed the Train Conductor, who was trying to step back.

Yes, he could clearly feel his life force draining away.

Now, he was at the end of his rope.

He didn't want to let go of any chance now.

"No, you don't need to pay any price."

"You only need to silently recite a person's name in your heart."

After the Train Conductor finished speaking, he patted his shoulder.

Bai Lin only felt his vision recovering bit by bit.

He could slowly see the scene before him clearly.

After only a moment, Bai Lin looked down at his hands; they had returned to normal.

His eyes were filled with obvious surprise.

At the same time, An Ke also received the same words.

"Remember, your answer must be one that can be successfully obtained~"

One sentence made the person An Ke had originally decided upon cause her hesitation again.
