60: Chapter 60 The train is about to arrive at the station, the former master in a high position
"Just what on earth is that..."
Chen Feng's pupils constricted slightly as he stared fixedly at the writhing mass of pink flesh in the sky.
He felt that the shape of that flesh mass was extremely bizarre, like... 'floating in mid-air like a reed sprout'!!
This inexplicable description suddenly popped into Chen Feng's mind.
He noticed that the flesh mass was writhing with a distinct rhythm.
It was constantly expanding and contracting, just like a giant heart beating.
And with every beat, an invisible ripple spread out in all directions, causing the surrounding space to twist and deform.
"Takama-ga-hara... a land of horror and chaos..."
Chen Feng's heart was filled with unease.
Inside the Rebirth Temple.
Lin Chuan was also watching that mass of flesh through Chen Feng's perspective.
Because his own status was high enough, he could see much more and in greater detail than Chen Feng... Lin Chuan could glimpse that the flesh mass was not a single entity, but an aggregate pieced together from countless distorted human faces, severed limbs, and various indescribable organs.
The expressions on those faces were filled with extreme pain, ecstasy, sadness, anger, and mania... At this moment, deep within Lin Chuan's consciousness, a series of blood-red messages suddenly popped up on the panel:
[Warning! High-level Old Master detected!]
[Target: Celestial Standing Venerable (Projection)!]
[Projection Terror Level: S-rank Fifth Tier!]
[Original Body Terror Level: SSS-rank Fifth Tier (Mid-level Dominator)!]
[Sequence Number: 89.]
[Description: He is the pillar that supports this heaven, and the source that devours all things. He shall descend, He shall erode, and He intends to assimilate the entire world into a part of Himself...]
"SSS-rank Fifth Tier?!"
"Mid-level Dominator?!"
Lin Chuan's heart sank abruptly.
Such a Terror Level was even more terrifying than the nightmare old master or The Shy One!
And... Celestial Standing Venerable!!
Isn't this one of the three creation gods in Neon Country's mythology?
"A revival of myths?"
"Or rather... these taboos entrenched in the Chaos Void Realm descended upon this world long ago in the distant past."
"The ancestors of humanity recorded these 'taboos' and worshipped them as... Gods!!"
Lin Chuan's thoughts churned as he continued to speculate.
Of course, he had no way of confirming the truth of it all.
However, one thing he was certain of.
Once this 'Celestial Standing Venerable' fully descended, it would trigger an even more terrifying upheaval!!
When that time came, the entire Dongsheng Continent would surely be affected!
"Chen Feng, don't look up, don't look at the sky!"
Lin Chuan sent a warning to Chen Feng.
"The thing in the sky... is very dangerous!!"
"Yes! This Disciple understands!"
Chen Feng's heart jolted.
He had also vaguely sensed just now that staring at the flesh mass in the sky... seemed to pollute the spirit!!
"Attention passengers, we are about to arrive at the final destination of this train."
"Please look after your personal belongings."
"Additionally, to thank everyone for your support throughout the journey, this train has specially arranged a 'surprise' segment."
"Please keep an eye out for it."
At this moment, the train's broadcast sounded again.
"Surprise?"
Chen Feng furrowed his brows.
On this death train, a so-called "surprise" usually meant... death!
Creak!
Just then.
The train, which was originally in motion, was actually pushed open directly.
Immediately after, a man wearing an old-fashioned zhongshan suit and pushing a rusty trolley walked in.
He wore a pair of round-framed sunglasses and had a professional smile plastered on his face.
"Sunflower seeds, peanuts, bottled water..."
"And... everything... you want most!"
His voice was hoarse and low, like two pieces of sheet metal rubbing together.
The trolley was filled with all sorts of strange things.
Blood-colored sunflower seeds, bottled water as black as ink, and peanuts that looked like insect eggs!
There were also masks made of human skin, eyeballs soaked in formalin, and still-beating hearts... Every single item radiated a heart-palpitating supernatural aura.
"A salesman?"
Chen Feng's heart stirred.
He suddenly remembered the seventh of the ten rules:
[Rule Seven: You must purchase items from the Train Salesman!]
But the sixth rule also said:
[Rule Six: Half of the rules are fake!!!]
"Damn it! Another one of these 'choose one or the other' death traps!"
Chen Feng grit his teeth.
To buy? Or not to buy?
If this rule was true, not buying would be a violation of the rules and could lead to a catastrophe!
If this rule was fake, buying... would also lead to uncontrollable consequences!
The salesman pushed his trolley, slowly passing by each seat.
Those "corpse passengers" who were originally expressionless now looked as if they had seen something wonderful, reaching out one after another to take items from the trolley.
Then... they plucked a hair from their heads and handed it to the salesman.
"Thank you for your patronage."
The salesman took the hair, carefully placed it into an exquisite glass bottle, and the smile on his face grew even more radiant.
"Exchanging hair... for goods?"
A flicker of doubt flashed through Chen Feng's eyes.
Is it that simple?
No!
There is definitely something wrong with this!
"Chen... Chen Feng..."
Ye Qian, sitting opposite him, suddenly spoke while trembling.
She gripped Chen Feng's sleeve tightly, as if grabbing a life-saving straw, or perhaps seeking a sense of reliance and psychological comfort.
"What should we do? Are we going to buy?"
"Is that rule... actually true or not?"
Chen Feng gave her a cold glance and didn't speak.
"Big brother Wu Jian, what do you think?"
Seeing that Chen Feng ignored her, Ye Qian turned to look at Wu Jian beside her.
Wu Jian was currently frowning deeply, staring fixedly at the salesman.
Hearing Ye Qian's question, he shook his head and said in a heavy voice:
"I don't know."
"But the feeling this salesman gives me... is very dangerous."
"Even more dangerous than that flight attendant from before!"
"Nonsense! Of course I know it's dangerous!"
Ye Qian was getting anxious, and her voice unconsciously grew louder.
"I'm asking if you're going to buy or not?!"
"Can you two grown men show some responsibility?!"
"Are you just going to watch me die with your eyes wide open?!"
Chen Feng and Wu Jian exchanged a look, both seeing a hint of disgust in each other's eyes.
This woman was not only stupid but also selfish.
At a time like this, instead of thinking about how to save herself, she actually wanted to use moral kidnapping on others.
"If you want to buy, buy it yourself. No one's stopping you."
Chen Feng said coldly.
"You!!"
Ye Qian's face turned pale with anger.
She pointed at Chen Feng, wanting to curse, but seeing Chen Feng's icy gaze, she swallowed her words back down.
At this time.
The salesman had already pushed his trolley to the row of seats in front of them.
"Dear guests, do you need anything?"
He stopped his pace and adjusted his sunglasses. The eyes hidden behind the lenses seemed to be sizing up these special "passengers."
"The goods here are of high quality and low price."
"All it takes... is a single hair."
"To exchange for... everything you can imagine."
His voice was full of temptation.
Chen Feng and Wu Jian still didn't move.
They were waiting.
Observing.
But Ye Qian was starting to lose her composure.
She looked at the dazzling array of eerie items on the trolley, then at the salesman's half-smiling face, and the fear in her heart gradually overwhelmed her reason.
