"An extra carriage?" Moonlight frowned, looking at the carriages that continued to extend...
The Northland Express only has 16 carriages, but this spirit obviously does not intend to follow this.
Standing in the corridor, Sean was also looking at the new car that appeared.
Judging from the decoration and layout, it is certain that what is in front of me is definitely not a Northland Express carriage.
"Is there another train car in front?" Moonlight turned around and asked.
Sean pondered for a while, and the small oath torch floating around him floated to the newly appeared carriage first: "You can only find out if you keep going forward."
The three of them stepped into Car 17, which did not exist in the real Northland Express.
The decoration here is obviously more elegant than the last carriage of the Northland Express. There are simple paneling on the walls, a faded red leather sofa in the open compartment, and a dusty carpet on the floor.
However, the interior of this carriage is obviously much older than the previous carriages.
And the decoration style is also obviously different.
"It's indeed another train." Sean nodded slightly.
Stringing different trains together?
The structure of this spiritual world seems to be somewhat special.
But what's the point of doing this?
A picture appeared in Sean's mind——
The passageway connected by the carriages of different trains is like an extremely deep cave with no end...
God knows what is hidden inside.
The musty wind is like the breath of a dying beast.
An ominous aura came from the dark corridor ahead.
Sean added some "fuel" to the oath torch - he increased the output power of his spiritual power, and the golden fireworks dispelled the ominousness, allowing the three of them to continue moving forward in peace of mind.
After walking through a dozen empty carriages again, Sean stopped again.
He looked at the next car, lit by torches - clearly, once again, not the train they were on.
"Sure enough, there are trains connected together!" Yueguang suddenly felt a little creepy, feeling that everything in front of him was like a trap, "Xiao, what does this mean?"
Sean looked straight ahead at the carriage of the third train: "Remember that cigarette scar on the carpet on the Northland Express?"
Moonlight suddenly realized that she had overlooked this detail due to excessive nervousness.
Sean turned around and said, "There was that cigarette scar in the dining car just now."
Sean recalled that he used the light of the torch to look at the ugly smoke scar like a devil's eye in front of the leather shoe.
"That is to say..." There was a trace of fear in Yueguang's eyes, and his dry throat made him swallow, "The car we are in now is the original carriage?"
Sean nodded: "Not bad.
"In order to move those people here, this spiritual world 'reproduced' an identical space, replaced the original carriage, and moved the people in the carriage over."
Moonlight opened her eyes wide: "...more than one train...that, that means...
Sean said in unison with him: "Disappearances have happened more than once!"
·
Whenever the chorus of "Auld Lang Syne" sounds in a certain carriage, and there is a lack of lighting due to various reasons, such as a power outage, entering a tunnel, or simply lights out time...
This weird spiritual world will recreate the entire train, and then transfer the people in the chorus car to the spiritual world.
It can be known from the clothes of those "diners"——
Some of the people who were transferred here became food piled on the dining table...
Some are twisted into monsters.
When Yueguang's mind cleared up everything that was happening at this moment, his face was full of incomprehensible expressions: "Why? Why is it set up like this?
"What's the point of turning missing people into monsters, or into food?"
This question also made Sean frown.
Taking a closer look at the question raised by Moonlight, this is indeed the weirdest part of the whole thing——
If this spirit world is the work of a resentful spirit, then everything that happens here will have an explanation: the resentful spirit is such a twisted thing.
However, it is obvious that being able to set up such a "common" but not too frequent entry scenario: no light and the chorus of "Auld Lang Syne"... seems not something that a wraith can do.
What exactly is the meaning and purpose here?
With such doubts, they continued walking deeper into the "train".
After continuing on for ten minutes and crossing two trains again, Sean noticed something.
"Have you discovered it?
"If you think of the Northland Express as the front of a train...
“The further you go toward the back of the car, the older the carriage becomes.”
Moonlight and Olivia looked around at this moment and found that the decoration style of the carriage they were in was indeed a bit outdated...
Just like the carriage from ten years ago.
"Perhaps..." Sean whispered, "The age of the carriage, just like the growth rings, shows the birth year of this strange place..."
Sean stared straight ahead, wondering where the end of the road was.
They continued passing through carriage after carriage and saw increasingly outdated and outdated decorations...
Not only that, the windows outside the car are getting darker and darker.
Sean had to continue to increase the spiritual power supply of the torch to illuminate the same area as before.
They continued to walk forward, passing through increasingly older carriages.
Suddenly, Sean, who was walking at the front, stopped.
Moonlight looked at Sean's back in confusion, wanting to ask what happened, but saw Olivia beside her, staring ahead with a pair of crystal red eyes in surprise.
What's wrong? what happens?
Moonlight felt a little panicked, looking over Sean's shoulder to the front.
Just one glance left him stunned.
The scene ahead seemed to make Sean forget about the vibrating card to remind him——
This is a very old-looking carriage. The iron walls of the carriage are painted dark green. The large back seats occupy the space awkwardly. There is also a unique smell in the carriage.
It seemed that the place was covered with thick dust because it had been dusty for too long - these were no longer worth mentioning. After all, they had passed through dozens of carriages and were already used to it.
But what shocked Sean and his party so much at this moment was...
The firelight illuminated a row of seats not far ahead, and in that seat sat an old man wearing a gray suit.
He was like an ordinary train passenger, closing his eyes and meditating during a boring journey.
His breathing was even and he had obviously fallen asleep sitting up.
