Master, I suddenly discovered something, or I didn’t realize until now that I had actually been deceived by you and believed in your evil deeds. I didn’t expect that I, who is tall and handsome, would one day not only wear this weird clothes, but also finally I actually inherited your mantle!
Even if I'm handsome, even if my bones are extraordinary, even if I'm a once-in-a-millennium genius, you can't take advantage of my amnesia and abduct me. Well, now, I'm not just falling for you. Pirate Ship has now become your direct disciple, and now you can no longer shake off your identity as a magic stick.
but……
Even though I have become a magic stick, I feel a little unhappy, but occasionally when I have free time, I still miss you, old man.
………
Boom, boom.
Bah, bah bah!
As the roar approached, and with the friction between the wheels and the rails, the train gradually slowed down. Finally, the hell train came to a complete stop and stopped directly in front of an unknown platform.
Bah.
Then, the car door opened and Peng Hu strutted towards the door.
When he walked out of the car door, he saw that the platform was dark, and the environment was still wrapped in black as usual. If the lights of the car body could not generally illuminate the surrounding area, the platform would have been completely wrapped in black, and the direction he was looking at at the moment was the one directly in front of him. Quite a wide waiting platform.
With the help of the car lights, I looked closely and saw four people standing about a hundred meters ahead, three men and one woman, all dressed in different clothes. Judging from her appearance, the only woman should be around 25 or 26 years old, wearing a t-shirt. Wearing blue work clothes, the other man and the young woman beside him are wearing similar clothes. It is obvious that just from their clothes, it is easy to tell that the man and woman should work in the same factory and are co-workers.
Among the remaining two men, the one wearing a white coat seems to be quite young, about fifty years old. As for the last man, he is very young, probably in his early twenties, but...
As the vision continued to stare, as the eyes continued to look, when he saw the young man's clothes clearly, Peng Hu, who had always been calm, was stunned for an instant.
At this moment, the bald man's eyes widened, and he became completely unresponsive for a moment. He even forgot to say the most common greeting with a sinister smile. .
(Um?)
As mentioned above, Peng Hu is someone who has experienced all kinds of storms. Moreover, this is not the first time he has received newcomers. What kind of newcomers has he not seen in a long time? What kind of thing hasn't been beaten? If that's the case, then why was the bald man stunned for a moment when he saw the young man clearly?
The reason is easy to explain. The reason why Peng Hu was stunned was not that there was anything extraordinary about the young man or that he met an acquaintance, but...
But this person's dress is really too different from ordinary people.
That guy is actually wearing a Taoist robe! ?
In a serious Taoist attire, the other party looked like a sorcerer except for the fact that his hair was not tied with a hairpin or chopsticks.
Let’s not talk about how Peng Hu was surprised by the young man’s strange clothes or what the bald man was thinking. At the same time, from the moment the train stopped and Peng Hu came out, the four of them had been keeping an eye on the train and Peng Hu. In addition, the environment was too extreme. Gloomy, the two men and women in blue work clothes can be said to be scared at the moment, and their reactions are very different from the newcomers in the past. However, nothing is absolute. This time Peng Hu really opened his eyes. Although it is undeniable that the newcomers were initially They all observed the train, but after just one glance, the old man in white coat and the young man in Taoist robe started arguing face to face, as if the topic they were arguing about was far more important than the inexplicably approaching train.
If you listen carefully, you will hear the following conversation:
"Well, you old guy! I already told you that there were beetles, but you still don't believe me? You old stubborn!".
"Hmph, kid, what's wrong with doing something at such a young age? Why do you have to do this kind of pretentious business? Do you know that cheating and abduction is not only illegal but also shameful!"
"I'm confused, old guy, what nonsense are you talking about? Is it illegal? Impossible! My master said that those who do our profession are not only admired by thousands of people, but also can make a lot of money. The most important thing is to do this profession There will still be girls who like it, oh, by the way, you said you don’t believe in worms, okay, then let me ask you, how do you explain the weird hurricane just now? How should you answer after running for a long time with no outlet? "
"Humph! They pretend to be quite similar. Don't think I don't know. Nine times out of ten, hurricanes are caused by some kind of high-tech machine. They can't leave and there are secret doors set up in advance. How can you do it with just this little trick? Can you deceive me? I am also a university professor after all, so you are pretending to be a fool in front of me? To tell you the truth, I don’t believe these superstitions of yours at all!”
"Tsk tsk, tsk tsk, tsk, tsk, old man, just be tough with your words. Since you said so tough, why were you more scared than the sister behind you when you couldn't find the exit?"
"I, that's the instinctive reaction of human beings when encountering unexpected situations! Normal people will be afraid!"
"Quiet, keep quibbling, I want to see if you can tell the truth!"
………
At this moment, watching the two dancing and listening to the heated debate between the young man and the old man, Peng Hu looked a little confused. Yes, as he said before, this was not the first time or twice that he had received newcomers. What happened during this time? Have you never seen such a person? Some are crazy, some are questioning, some are crying, and some are dismissive, but most newcomers are still frightened and uneasy in this weird scene. However, I didn't expect the two people on the platform this time... ...Not only did they not show any fear, but they directly ignored the train and themselves. It seemed that both of them attached great importance to this debate, and each seemed to want to silence the other in the debate.
Of course, time was limited. He knew that the train would only wait for the newcomers on the platform for 15 minutes, and he couldn't watch all the time, let alone let the two of them continue to debate. After all, God knew how long the two of them could debate?
Thinking of this, he quickly came to his senses. Peng Hu took a deep breath first, and then suddenly shouted to the people on the platform in front of him: "Hey! You guys, listen to me! If you don't want to die, don't ink in place, and hurry up. boarding!".
Peng Hu's shout was not silent. Sure enough, as soon as the roar came out, the man and woman in work clothes were frightened on the spot. Their bodies shook wildly and their expressions changed greatly. While trembling, their fearful eyes became even more timid. Because they were so frightened, Staring in front of the car, Peng Hu didn't know what to do for a moment. Similarly, because the voice was too loud, the young man in Taoist robes and the old man in white coats who had been arguing fiercely instinctively stopped their quarrel when Peng Hu shouted loudly. His eyes turned to Peng Hu, and then he looked at it carefully. Looking around, he saw that the bald man was about 1.85 meters tall and had a burly figure. Not to mention that the body wrapped in a black vest was more muscular, and this man had a beard on his face. His appearance is extremely ferocious, and at first glance, he gives people a very sinister feeling!
This guy is not a good person! Definitely not a good person!
Maybe he's a wanted criminal who escaped from some prison! .
Seeing that the other party was all suppressed by the roar, and seeing the newcomers looking at him one after another, Peng Hu couldn't help but feel a little secretly proud. He raised his hand and touched his chin, perhaps to match the terrifying atmosphere of the scene or to add a few more layers of psychology to the newcomers. Under the pressure, the two sides looked at each other, the bald head raised the corners of his mouth, and smiled directly at the four people.
Sure enough, seeing the menacing bald man smiling evilly and seeing the other person's unfriendly gaze, the man in overalls couldn't help but take a step back, and the woman in overalls shivered instinctively. As expected, the two of them were deeply afraid of Peng Hu, but...
"Hey, old man, do you know that guy with the stubble?"
"What are you talking about! As a distinguished professor, would I know such a person?".
"Don't you know me? Huh? That's weird. If you don't know me, why did he show you such a 'kind' smile just now?"
As mentioned above, when the old man and the young man were attracted by Peng Hu, they looked at him briefly. Not only did they not show the slightest look of surprise, but they started pointing at the bald man.
As the saying goes, if you are destined to meet someone thousands of miles away, if you are not destined to meet across the street, you will never meet. Perhaps he thought that he and the bald man were destined to meet each other. They looked at each other for a moment. Before the three people around him could react, the young man in Taoist robes made the first move.
He raised his hand to lift up his Taoist robe, turned around gracefully, and then made a standard ancient hand-over-hand salute to Peng Hu opposite him. Peng Hu was instinctively stunned. As for the young man, while saluting, he also took the initiative to say hello: "Shuntian Knowing your destiny and having peace of mind, you can live a leisurely and natural life. I dare to ask this gentleman, where is this place? And what is going on with the train behind you?"
Although the young Taoist priest spoke with a solemn tone and even recited a Taoist poem before speaking, the cynical look between his brows was still visible on his face from beginning to end.
"Hey, you kid, you're good. Not only did you not be afraid when you saw me, you actually returned it to him. You pulled up the article in front of me. To be honest, I don't care if you are a Taoist priest or not. I admire you just because of your style. .”
"Well, without further ado, since you asked, I will briefly tell you and the three behind you."
Next, Peng Hu began to narrate according to the old rules. He first told the four people the fact that they had been selected by the curse, and then roughly explained why they needed to get on the train as soon as possible and basic issues such as tickets.
"...The thing is roughly like this. Now that everything that needs to be said has been said and that needs to be explained, I will give you a piece of advice. If you believe me, come over and board the bus immediately, and get on the bus before the tide of worms appears. If you don’t believe me, I won’t force you, after all, your life is yours, it’s up to you whether you want to live or die!”
After saying this last sentence, Peng Hu leaned directly against the door and started smoking. He didn't say a word more. This was natural. After all, Peng Hu had always followed the rules when receiving newcomers for so long. He neither intimidated nor coerced, but only informed the newcomers of the facts. He was very obedient and never neglected. As for whether or not to get on the bus in the end, Peng Hu would never force it. As he just said, everyone's life is in everyone's own hands. , the choice of his own destiny is completely decided by the newcomer himself, no one else has the right to interfere, and he, Peng Hu, will not interfere much.
Back to the topic, after Peng Hu finished explaining, the four people on the platform became restless. They looked at each other with different expressions, and their reactions were also different when they looked at each other.
The man and woman in work clothes reacted like most ordinary people. First they looked at each other instinctively, and then they became as automatic as if they were hysterical. They hurriedly took out their tickets, and then frantically tore up the tickets in their hands while sweating coldly. , obviously, the two of them did not believe in Peng Hu, did not believe that there was a ticket that could not be destroyed, and they did not believe in the so-called cursed space. In order to prove that the other party was lying, and to confirm their own safety, the two of them tore up the ticket and tore it with all their strength, no Are you saying that tickets are absolutely indestructible? Then just tear it up. As long as the ticket is destroyed, the bald man's lie will be self-evident.
Unfortunately, wishes are beautiful, but reality is often cruel.
The ticket cannot be torn or shredded.
The result was just as Peng Hu said, no matter how the two of them tore it apart, the ticket, which was thin and seemed to be broken into pieces, was not damaged at all. During this period, the man in overalls even took out a lighter and burned it, but there was still no damage. no effect.
Seeing this, and then thinking about the strange hurricane that had dragged them here before, and the fact that there was no exit around them, as they thought about it, the panic on their faces suddenly worsened at this moment, and then turned ashen. Cold sweat broke out from all parts of the body like rain. Yes, they were afraid. This man and woman were completely afraid. Not only were they afraid of their own future fate, they were also worried about the upcoming ghost wave that would appear in a while. But , as the saying goes, you won’t cry until you see the coffin, even though you believed it in your heart, even though there was a lot of evidence in front of you, the two of them still didn’t walk towards the train, and they seemed to be still in a state of hesitation and entanglement.
"Otherwise, let's get on the train. Through what the bald man said just now and the ticket that we can't break no matter what we do... I feel like this is too weird. If what the bald man said is true, continue. It's... not safe to stay here."
As a woman, she is timid and she is quite afraid of the word "Hai Chao" from Peng Hu's mouth. After a moment of hesitation, the woman in work clothes was the first to speak and make suggestions. Yes, she was extremely frightened, and she was trembling while trembling. She said those words in a trembling tone to the man in work clothes next to her. Unfortunately, her words did not seem to move her co-worker. Although the man in work clothes looked equally panicked, he believed Peng Hu's words in his heart. However, when he thought about it, After entering the train, he would face things in the future... Somehow, when he thought of this, his trembling legs could not move or walk no matter what.
Of course, there are no exceptions, and there is one who is not afraid.
Faced with the terrible reality, the men and women in work clothes hesitated in fear, but the old man in a white coat who claimed to be a professor did not react much, especially after hearing Peng Hu's explanation, he showed a disdainful expression. Wrong, he doesn’t believe it! Even though he had just seen with his own eyes that men and women in overalls could not tear up the tickets, he still didn't believe it, because he believed in science, and as a professor at a prestigious university, how could he believe this theory? At the beginning, when he met the young Taoist priest at the entrance of the subway station, he was very contemptuous. After being swept into the subway station by the hurricane, the Taoist priest directly and openly promoted feudal superstitious ideas to him. He thought that this was the magic stick, but unexpectedly Not long after, a bald man with a mouth full of monsters suddenly appeared. During this period, he actually said something about having to get on the bus if there were monsters. Now he even had a vague suspicion that the young Taoist priest in front of him and the bald man opposite him were in the same group. People collaborated to create this scam, and their purpose was nothing more than to defraud money. .
At the same time, just as the old professor glanced at the train ahead and Peng Hu with contemptuous eyes, the young Taoist priest next to him gave the old man a push with his arm after pondering for a moment. When he was disturbed, the old professor instinctively turned around and saw the young man. The Taoist priest's expression changed, and the cynical look that he had maintained for a long time since they met disappeared, and was replaced by a solemn face. Seeing the other party looking at him, the young Taoist priest said: "Uncle, I think we should follow the rules If you are bald, board that train as soon as possible, otherwise the tide of worms will appear soon."
His voice was not low. Not only the old man, but also the man and woman in work clothes heard it clearly. However, who would have thought that as soon as the young Taoist priest finished speaking, the old man burst out laughing, with no trace of fear in his expression or behavior. In addition, after laughing a few times, he stared directly at the other person and scolded: "Huh, don't lie to me. You and that bald guy are in the same group, right? I have lived for most of my life, and I have been pretending to be like you." I’ve seen a lot of bad guys, they just use people’s fear to defraud money, it’s an old trick!”
After saying that, the old man waved his hand and continued: "Okay, you don't need to say anymore, worm? How can there be worms in this world? Didn't the bald man say that there will be a sea of thousands of worms in a few minutes? I Let’s see if this tide of hawks will appear!”.
The old man's words were not only loud, but also contained unparalleled scientific belief in his tone. His words just now were like a shot in the arm, reminding him deeply, and the effect was surprisingly good. Through these words, the old man not only became more confident, Believing in science, even the men and women in work clothes who were already deeply fearful were affected. The two gradually regained their senses. It seemed that what the old scholar in front of them said was quite reasonable. Yes, how could there be worms in the world? Woolen cloth?
Of course, due to the loud sound, not only the three people nearby could hear it clearly, but also Peng Hu, who was smoking by the door in front of him, could vaguely hear it. However, Peng Hu did not pay attention to the other party. He did not say a word. In silence, his eyes moved to his watch. , and saw that the 15 minutes were almost over,
Or……
In another 1 minute and 30 seconds, the tide will appear!
As the saying goes, some people are stubborn and others are worried. In front of the platform, after listening to the old man's unswerving words, the young Taoist priest first sighed, then put his hands behind his back and said to the old man in a solemn tone: "There are clouds in Taoism, and the vastness is vast. It is fate to meet someone in a sea of people with whom you can talk to for more than three sentences. Today you and I can talk to each other in more than three sentences, so... for the sake of the fate between you and me, I decided to talk to you. No matter what, I will save you once."
The young Taoist priest spoke emphatically, but the old man still stood there motionless. He did not answer, let alone answer. It seemed that he had already decided not to pay attention to the other party. Seeing this, the young Taoist priest didn't care at all, and soon he was prompted by some thoughts. Peng Hu turned around and raised his hands to the front again and asked: "This bald brother, dare I ask how much time is left until the tide of oysters appears?"
unexpectedly……
As soon as the young Taoist priest finished speaking, without waiting for Peng Hu to reply, almost at the same time, there was a roar and a loud noise in the originally silent hall, and there were bursts of piercing and shrill wails:
“Uh! Uhhhhh!!!
Hooray! Hooray!
The wailing came in an instant, filling the eardrums and penetrating the heart and lungs. Waves of shrill roars that were not like human voices covered everything in an instant, covering the entire waiting platform!
15 minutes finally passed, and Hachao appeared on time! ! !
At the same time, along with the wails one after another, mixed with the cold wind, there were also thousands of terrifying slugs. They appeared out of thin air in incomprehensible forms around the platform, roaring wildly. They came swarming from all directions, and they seemed to be everywhere on the huge ground. They had different shapes and ferocious appearances. Some were rotting all over, some were missing arms and legs, some were floating in the air, some had disheveled hair and ferocious expressions, and even There are also those who only have half of their bodies left but are still crawling forward crazily...
At this moment, these countless weevils were all sprinting, moving, and roaring towards the four newcomers located in the center of the platform!
Then……
"ah!!!"
"There are so many cockroaches!!!"
The screams came as expected, and the fear suddenly struck as expected. Because the mutation happened too suddenly, when they saw this sea of hawks appearing out of thin air and approaching them extremely quickly, the four of them first For a moment, the man and woman in work clothes suddenly burst out screaming, their livers and gallbladders bursting into tears. It was precisely because the fear came too suddenly that they both collapsed on the ground while screaming!
As for the old professor who didn't believe in the existence of worms...
After seeing this scene, and witnessing the countless monsters surrounding him from all directions, the old man... did not react. He still stood where he was, as motionless as a statue.
Because, he was stunned, stunned, and his whole person was completely in a state of sluggishness.
Perhaps, there is only one person, only one person who is somewhat exception, no, not an exception, but something unusual. .
At this moment, listening to the chirping of hawks, watching the tide of hawks, and looking at the sea of hawks swarming behind him and around him, after seeing the vast and impossible scene really appear, the young Taoist priest instinctively froze, and his eyes suddenly widened. Boss, yes, even though he had been mentally prepared before, but when he saw the tide of cockroaches in the bald head's mouth with his own eyes and saw this horrifying scene with his own eyes, even though he was well-informed, he was still shocked!
but……
Unlike the three people around him, even if he was stunned by the shock when he first saw Haochao, his stunned time was very short, very short, so short that it was fleeting, so short that it was almost undetectable, or in other words, as soon as he was stunned, he was completely stunned. Five seconds later, the young Taoist priest reacted instantly.
……………
