The Modern Age of the Mysterious

The light of the fire illuminated the calm face of the old man.

He was breathing evenly, apparently just asleep.

It is not uncommon to see such an old man on an ordinary train.

The strange thing is that they are now in a train that has been dusty for many years.

That kind of fear is not just because of the sudden presence of the old man...

When he saw him for the first time, a deep sense of disobedience emerged in Yueguang's heart.

It wasn't until after the initial surprise that he was able to calm down and observe, the pianist didn't know the source of this sense of discord...

The old man's style of clothing is clearly outdated.

Especially the black ribbon bow tie on the shirt - maybe someone fifty years ago would have dressed like this...

A passenger from fifty years ago?

If he was really a passenger on this train, he should have been reduced to bones long ago.

Still dozing off in the dark.

The three exchanged glances. Moonlight's advice is not to wake the spooky passenger -- after all, the move risks getting out of hand.

However, after weighing it again and again, Sean decided to try to wake the old man up...

"To solve the mystery of this strange train, we may need more information." As the captain Sean said.

After taking adequate precautions, Sean patted the old man on the shoulder lightly.

The latter's eyeballs rolled under the lids, only tilting his head in the other direction.

"Sir?" Sean shook his shoulders.

Only then did the dozing man wake up.

He rubbed his sullen eyes and found that the three masks were illuminated by the firelight, and he was a little surprised for a while.

Sean's calm voice sounded: "Sir, please don't be nervous, we are here to help."

"Explorer." The old man nodded quickly, "I have seen explorers - you are experts in solving evil."

No erratic behavior. Sean nodded in relief.

"What's the matter, what happened to this train?" The old man frowned in confusion.

He found that it was dark around, and the train seemed to be parked in a tunnel.

"Something did happen." Sean maintained a kind tone, "I want to ask you, where is the destination of your trip?"

The old man blinked, as if recalling. After a while, he said, "Gray Mountain Town, I'm going to Gray Mountain Town."

Sean and Moonlight looked at each other, and both saw some bitterness in each other's eyes——

As early as ten years ago, Gray Mountain Town was wiped off the map because of an Ace-level evil incident.

This old man, as expected, came from the past, just like the carriage he was in.

"Then, sir, the next question is a little strange, but I still hope you can tell me."

After the memory just now, the old man's mind seemed to be clearer, he nodded: "You ask."

"What is the year of this year?"

The old man seemed to sense something was wrong, and he put his hand nervously on the seat next to him: "1860, isn't it?  …

"Gentlemen, you scared me a bit."

After speaking, he felt that the touch of his fingers was a little strange.

He lifted it up and looked at it by the light of the fire, and what he felt with his fingertips was a thick layer of dust.

"What's going on?" The old man's voice was a little flustered, "Isn't this year 1860?

"How long have I slept?

"No, my daughter is still waiting for me at home!" He suddenly wanted to stand up. Sean pressed his shoulders.

Before the old man knew it, Sean poured some spiritual power into his spiritual essence that could neutralize intense emotions.

The old man's heartbeat and emotions calmed down: "Gentlemen, what's going on, can you tell me?"

Sean pondered for a moment.

He decided to tell the old man the truth and see if he could get some useful information.

"It really isn't 1860 now."

After hearing this sentence, the old man's brows were bitter.

"I'm afraid you slept quite a long time...

"In order to solve the trouble we encountered," Sean looked directly at the old man with encouraging eyes, "We need you to recall what happened before you went to sleep."

The old man's dry mouth made a futile gesture of swallowing.

He started blinking, recalling everything before falling asleep.

The next scene made Moonlight realize that something was wrong.

The old man had just started to touch his memories, and the expression on his entire face was as if he had seen a ghost——

His eyes were wide open, his jaw dropped, and his face was ashen.

His lips twitched wildly, and a meaningless murmur came out of his throat.

"Xiao, out of control!" Yueguang quickly reminded.

Sean waved to his teammates. After the old man fell into a delusional state, he still asked in a calm voice: "What's the matter, what do you remember?"

The old man's livid face turned pale, and he turned helplessly to Sean—

The face turned so quickly that in the blink of an eye it was the face of a lifeless dead man.

The dead man said as if he had breathed out his last breath:

"I……

"I-I'm dead!"

Then, a few blood flowers bloomed on the old man's old shirt.

As if to recover the lost time, the blood flower quickly oxidized and dried up, turning into a dull black.

The old man's body also quickly withered away, and time regained the original luster and elasticity of his skin——

It only took five seconds to go from a living person to a mummified corpse.

Before the shock in front of him could be fully digested, something even more terrifying suddenly happened.

Suddenly, the train moved.

Outside the car window, there was an eerie scream.

In the dry carriage lit by the scorching sun, people were screaming and fleeing.

The three of Sean were surprised to see that the Kui people with reddish-brown skin and painted faces rushed into the moving train and were indiscriminately pulling the trigger at the passengers on the train.

Outside the car window, the Kui tribe with red and black skin shone by the sun, covered in oil and sweat, riding a fierce horse, with a weird smile on his face, raised his pistol and shot Sean in the face.

The bullet shattered the glass and embedded itself in the air in front of Sean.

"Go, get out of here." Sean gave the order, and the three of them galloped forward in the chaotic crowd, passing through the trains of carriages that were thrown into chaos by the attack of the Que tribe, until they rushed past the rear of the last carriage. It was like stepping into the night in an instant, returning to the dark corridor that was connected by countless carriages...

"Just now..." Yueguang gasped and pointed to his back, which had turned black, "What's going on?"

Sean's eyes were calm, and the palm of his hand wiped the air in front of him - due to the increase in the volume of his soul, he can now directly display the newspapers stored in the "archive" through spiritual power.

It was an old newspaper from decades ago, with the headline on the front page in huge font:

"Breakthrough! The Kui people slaughtered the passengers!"

A July 1860 issue of the Glory Post.

"What we just experienced," Sean nodded to the front page headlines in the air, "is the event described in this news."

The whistling Kui people, in order to **** the supplies carried on the train, rode a fierce horse, climbed on the train, and killed hundreds of innocent people.

Later ~www.readwn.com~ the local security militias gathered a team of 200 people in revenge to carry out retaliatory massacres against the perpetrators...

A total tragedy.

"That is to say..." Moonlight Lake's blue eyes moved left and right, "A train that has had a tragic incident will also be 'collected' here?"

Sean frowned and didn't answer.

After a long silence, Sea of ​​Shimmering Light stood up.

The morning star on the mask became extraordinarily bright, as if staring deeply into the darkness ahead: "I feel...

"We're almost at the end of this 'train'."

He turned to Moonlight and Olivia beside him, and said softly, "I have a guess now.

"As long as we can reach the deepest part of this spiritual world.

"I can verify this conjecture."
