"The train has started." Moonlight looked at Sean next to her in surprise.
After passing the carriage where the "Quebec Massacre Incident" had just occurred, the three of them discovered that the train, which seemed to have been abandoned in a lightless tunnel, had already started moving——
They could hear the regular sound of the train wheels rolling along the tracks; they could also feel the slight shaking of the train...
"This means that we are getting closer to the core of this place..."
"Sean, what's going on with all this?" Moonlight, who couldn't hold back her curiosity, asked while following Sean.
Boom, boom...
The distant sound of axles turning was heard. In the shaking car, Sean turned around and said:
"Aren't we always wondering where those 'diners' went?
"I have the answer now."
Sean simply stopped and turned towards his two teammates.
"First of all, what is certain is that someone has built a complete 'evil ecology' on this weird train.
"This evil ecology can maintain the growth of this spiritual world."
Sean pointed to the direction they came from and said: "Including the people who disappeared from the dining car this time, all the passengers who sang "Auld Lang Syne" in the dark were moved here and became the monster's food. .
“Well, now there’s a problem.
"What about those monsters? Where did those monsters come from?"
Saying this, Sean snapped his fingers, and old newspapers from different eras appeared one after another in the air in front of him...
The newspaper headlines on it were shocking:
"Bandits massacre train passengers", "Golden heist kills more than 40 people", "Train derails and rolls off the cliff!" 》……
All are news related to train accidents.
Moonlight turned his head and looked at the way he came from, as if he could penetrate the dark carriages and see all the way to the end: "You mean, the carriages we just passed are all related to these news?"
Sean nodded and continued: "I want to ask you a question now——
"The carriage we just experienced was a reenactment of the Québécois attack...
"The purpose of those indigenous people was to rob. Why did they kill so many civilians?"
In the shaking carriage, Moonlight and Olivia looked at each other silently, and then the pianist said: "Because of hatred? They hate those white-skinned passengers?"
"Of course it's possible," Sean nodded, "However, in those days, bullets were very precious.
“The Quebec people are more likely to use their precious bullets to deal with the security militiamen, rather than wasting bullets and massacring passengers indiscriminately when the robbery has obviously been successful...
“This is something that even the reports at the time found unbelievable – the massacre of these Quebec people was unjustifiable.
"It even led to their destruction." The furious militia team carried out a brutal massacre of the village.
Seeing that Moonlight and Olivia were confused, Sean asked: "Did you pay attention to the looks in the eyes of those Quebec people just now?"
After receiving a negative answer, he said with determination: "I saw it."
Outside the car window, a Kuei tribesman rode a fierce horse, aiming at himself...
There was a weird smile on his face.
"Their eyes were abnormal."
"Whether it's some strange ritual or a potion that induces hallucinations... Anyway, they are affected."
Moonlight seemed to understand something: "Was this tragedy planned? The Quebec people who robbed were used as guns?"
Sean nodded repeatedly: "Yes. What could have been a bloodless robbery turned into a wanton massacre..."
Moonlight's eyes widened and she raised a finger: "In order to obtain more souls who died tragically, someone took advantage of the Que people's robbery plan and asked them to kill during the robbery!"
Olivia pointed to the illusory newspapers that Sean unfolded: "Maybe the original losses of these tragedies would not be so great...
"Just like the Québécois robbery incident, it was exacerbated by some force into an extremely tragic incident."
Sean realized that the two teammates were almost close to the answer, so he continued: "That force has been 'collecting' these tragedies since the birth of the railway in the Northern New World."
"How did he do it?" Moonlight frowned in confusion, "I mean, why did it have to be about the train accident?"
A picture emerged in Sean's mind: the railway network was spreading throughout Northern New York like blood vessels.
An indescribable existence, flying along the rails...
"The thing we have to face,
“Confined to the railway…
“Or, to put it another way: the rail network is its world.”
·
The train was running through a dark tunnel that seemed to have no end.
After a long silence, it was still the pianist who broke it first: "So..." he said slowly while clarifying his thoughts, "the tragedies that were 'catalyzed' and collected... the poor souls in those tragedies became this 'Diners' on the train.
"And those people who sang happily and fell into the darkness..." Moonlight covered her mouth unbearably, "became the food on this train.
"The tragedy increased the length of the train and the number of diners, and the people who accidentally triggered the mechanism fed the train..."
"Is this the 'evil ecology' here?"
Sean nodded.
A world of evil spirits waiting for opportunities to move and grow quietly.
When the discussion progressed to this point, Moonlight and Olivia already knew the answer to a question.
That question is: Where did those diners go?
Almost at the same time, it seemed as if the spirit himself answered——
The train suddenly emerged from the dark tunnel and broke into a vast world with dim light.
The world outside the car window is strange, solemn, and depressing...
It has a certain sense of sanctity that is too bleak.
It seems to be the embodiment of death.
The scorched sky and the pale mist.
Through the window on the left side of the carriage, one can see a mountain made of squeezing dirty human bodies. The tortured people on the mountain are still climbing and squirming.
Floating above the mountain peak was an angel wrapped in dirty yellow robes.
It can be seen that His wings and body are rotten.
The face covered by the yellow robe vaguely revealed the outline of a skeleton.
On the left side of the carriage, there was a waterfall surging with blood. The waterfall fell into an unseen abyss, sending up putrid smoke.
In the empty and deep abyss, there was a distant roar from an unknown source.
If someone who is not mentally strong enough stares carefully into this abyss, his spiritual world will completely collapse, because he will see the sinner suppressed by Keen in the deepest part of the world in the infinite darkness.
The sinner stares at the sky all the time. Even while serving this eternal sentence, he is still thinking about harming the world...
"This is..." After witnessing the scene outside the window, even Sean's face showed a look of shock, "This is the scene deep in the world..."
And the question they asked now already has an answer:
The pale light from the depths of the world shines into the carriage, revealing things that were originally hidden in the darkness.
The melted skin and flesh were fused together with the old clothes, and the limbs had completely lost their original shape. The huge mouth symbolizing the desire to eat opened and closed on the body...
Only then did Moonlight realize that these passengers had been sitting in their seats along the way.
This is not an empty train at all.
