Chapter 438 Train Structure
As soon as the flight attendant finished speaking, Tian Qinghe stood up first. He had no chance to make a mistake; he had to leave the carriage as soon as possible!
Because, just now, the continuous sound of knitting needles behind him... stopped.
The bus stopped a few minutes ago, but perhaps because of this ghost, the conductor delayed for several minutes before informing passengers that they could get off.
In the blink of an eye, he had dashed out of the train, but the instant his foot touched the platform, his hand suddenly rose uncontrollably and landed on his neck.
Then, she was tightly bound by an invisible scarf.
Tian Qinghe's throat was about to be strangled, her face flushed red instantly, and she couldn't utter a sound!
But that's not the worst part...
A scream came from behind her. Wei Lan's pupils contracted as she watched in disbelief as Tian Qinghe retreated step by step back into the car.
wrong.
That wasn't him backing away.
Something was choking him and pulling him into the carriage!
In a flash, Wei Lan understood: it was the old woman's scarf that hadn't been measured, so it would be knitted very, very long...
One end was in the old woman's hand, and the other end was wrapped around Tian Qinghe's neck.
Woo!
At that moment, another horn sounded, signaling that the train was not arriving at the station, but rather departing!
The stop was so short that everyone frantically fled the train carriages and rushed to the platform.
Only Tian Qinghe, who was clearly the first to escape, was pulled further and further inside.
"Officer Tian!"
Zhang Xuan had already brought her child to the platform when she turned around and her gaze froze.
What should I do?
As ordinary people, they relied on Tian Qinghe's instructions throughout their journey. Once Tian Qinghe dies, the road ahead...
It's easy to imagine how difficult that is.
Inside the carriage, Wei Lan looked at Tian Qinghe and gritted her teeth.
If the other person hadn't rescued her from the bathroom, she would most likely be dead by now.
Without further hesitation, her mind had never been so clear before. She immediately turned around and walked towards the hunched figure.
The old woman was holding half a scarf in her hand, while the other half gradually disappeared into the air.
Cold gazes fell upon Wei Lan from every corner of the carriage.
Wei Lan's heart pounded. She felt a slight vibration beneath her feet, and a soft creak came from the car door—
It's now.
With a swift movement of her hand, she somehow managed to snatch the scarf from the old woman's hand, then grabbed the scarf and ran away!
The car doors are slowly closing.
Wei Lan forcefully pushed Tian Qinghe out of the car. Tian Qinghe felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave, and felt endless malice getting closer and closer to her.
The next second, she squeezed through the last bit of space and out of the car door.
clang!
The car doors were completely closed.
As the car door closed, Tian Qinghe's hand, which was wrapped around her neck, suddenly loosened, and the scarf turned into ashes the moment it touched the outside world.
He gasped sharply, and the tinnitus caused by the lack of oxygen slowly subsided.
buzz-
The train hummed.
Before Tian Qinghe could even thank them, she scrambled to her feet and looked at the train.
Inside the closed car door, a half-aged figure stared venomously at Wei Lan through the glass.
Knowing that the ghost couldn't get off the bus, Tian Qinghe didn't pay any more attention to it. She shifted her gaze in another direction, but her expression suddenly changed.
really!
Just as he guessed.
Except for the carriage they were in, the rest of the train... was just an old-fashioned green train shell!
It's so bizarre, it's like something dug out a small section of a high-speed train and forcibly pieced it onto an old train from decades ago.
But what chilled him to the bone even more were the windows of the other carriages.
Every carriage, every window.
The passengers inside all turned their heads in unison, silently watching the few people on the platform.
Only one passenger looked at them for a few seconds, then suddenly gave a strange smile.
Then, it backed up and slammed something against the car window!
"It's him!"
Tian Qinghe's eyes narrowed slightly. He was all too familiar with that pale face pressed tightly against the car window; it was clearly the young man who had been killed by the old woman before!
His body was actually taken to the front carriage.
"Are the items being sold on the flight attendant's cart actually us?"
Tian Qinghe murmured silently that his guess was correct.
The safest place on the entire train is actually the bullet train carriage where they are.
Everywhere else, there were ghosts!
Clang...
In a flash, the train had already changed direction.
The speed gradually increased.
Soon, a melodious tinkling sound came from the station, and then the train roared away, leaving only an empty track.
The car drove away...
Wei Lan murmured.
But she didn't feel any relief, only confusion.
So does the rest.
Even after getting off the ghost train, is this platform built in a closed tunnel really safe?
The elderly couple sighed heavily and looked at Tian Qinghe.
"Officer, have you experienced something like this before?"
Their experience was extensive, and they could tell that Tian Qinghe was no ordinary police officer.
Tian Qinghe neither denied nor confirmed, only saying that he was indeed a police officer.
Everyone comes together.
Tian Qinghe's heart sank as she looked at the few survivors.
Two elderly people, one child...
The only people who could truly help were Zhang Xuan and Wei Lan, both young and strong.
Fortunately, these people were not impulsive, and they survived because they listened to advice.
Teammates who act arbitrarily, like the man in the suit and the father of the child, are the biggest taboo.
After a brief conversation to reassure her, Tian Qinghe took out her clue book and began gathering information about the surrounding area.
The platform was dilapidated, but fortunately there were lights that emitted a dim white light, which was enough to illuminate the surroundings.
"Black Mountain Station..."
The old man looked up at the sign on the platform and muttered to himself.
"Why does this name sound so familiar?"
"Have you heard of it?" Tian Qinghe was taken aback.
The old man was unsure and hesitantly gave a reply.
“When I was young, there should have been a train station like this near my hometown, but it seems to have been moved to a mountainous area later... I’m not sure if it’s the same one, it might just be a coincidence of names.”
"Where is your hometown?" Tian Qinghe asked.
The old man explained that it was in a county near Tianhai, but he later went to work in the south and settled in a coastal city there.
It's a long story. Although his hometown is not far from Tianhai, he has never actually been to the city center of Tianhai over the years.
Tian Qinghe nodded. "If we calculate it that way, at least the distance matches."
It's not like they were forcibly transported thousands of miles away.
"Please think back and see if there's anything familiar in this station."
Tian Qinghe said.
However, he didn't have high hopes. Even if it really was the same person, spanning so many years, the old man probably wouldn't remember.
Memories are like flowers in water or the moon in a mirror; they vanish in the blink of an eye.
Tian Qinghe knew this better than anyone else.
