Passing through a dozen or so carriages, the scenery outside the window flies by, people on both sides of the aisle are sleeping or eating snacks boredly, women are coaxing crying children, men are sleeping with newspapers on their faces... Inside the narrow carriage, Cen Jin could distinguish his footsteps wonderfully.
His mind seemed to float to the top of the train, calmly overlooking what was happening in the car, watching his calf-length skirt sway, walking past the open window, his long yellow hair picked up by the wind.
Cen Jin felt that he and the train were standing in two different worlds, and this moment happened to be parallel and passed by.
Leni asked him, "If I'm not lying, are you really not afraid that we happen to be on the death train?"
Cen Jin perfunctory: "I'm so scared."
Leni: "..." She continued: "I promise I'm not lying, because we've already passed the canyon station, less than a kilometer from the Rhine, and there are slaughterers sneaking into the train, waiting for an opportunity to kill everyone on the train."
Cen Jin: "Then why don't you run?"
Leni laughed. "I'm not afraid."
Cen Jin thought for a moment, and suggested that she notify the conductor immediately so that they could take precautions and find out suspicious people.
Leni: "Maybe the conductor and the conductor are accomplices of the slaughterman. Of course, if not, why would I say that? The life and death of the whole train have nothing to do with me, but you are lucky to have met me, so that you don't die in vain. ."
Cen Jin snorted, Leni stopped at the door of the carriage, turned around and said firmly, "You don't believe me."
"Because you seem to be lying all the time, the story of 'Death Train' is specific to the time period between eleven o'clock on the full moon and one o'clock in the morning. Under normal circumstances, whether it is a serial killer or a ghostly evil spirit, it will continue to appear in this time period. But it's early morning.
In addition, from Gaul to the present, I have made two stops in total, each of which is marked on the map. There is no so-called hidden town. If there had been a massacre like you said, that town would have been searched long ago. .
The last doubt is how could a family of four have the strength to slaughter the entire train
Unless they are not human, if you can add this setting to make the logic pass the test, it will return to my assumption that 'evil spirits usually continue the active time period', which will create a paradox...
But there is one thing I am really curious about. "
Leni: "What is it?"
Cen Jin: "About the red shoes, is your grandmother true?"
Leni was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Of course." She realized something, put on a sad expression and said, "My grandmother's death is our family's regret."
"I don't think it's a pity. After all, you killed her with your own hands, and you were very happy to see her dying."
Leni looked stiff. "Don't be kidding, I'm offended."
"Maybe it's because everyone is not cooperating, so you don't feel the pleasure of intimidating others, so you are eager to let out a hint of danger to scare them... For whatever reason, you describe your grandmother crawling in the snow for a long time after cutting off her legs. , leaving a long trail."
There was a conductor pushing a cart in front, Cen Jin leaned back on the aisle, and was reminded not to block the door when the conductor passed by.
When the people left, Cen Jin continued: "At that time, your family of four was standing by in the snow while your grandmother whose legs were cut off by you climbed out of the snow and tried to ask for help, but unfortunately she failed.
Compared with being infected with the dancing plague, you as a family are more scary. "
Leni looked at him coldly and smiled: "You found the flaw. I made up this story, she is not our grandmother."
After she finished speaking, she turned around and walked towards the door of the last compartment, while the penultimate compartment had no passengers, so many debris were piled up, and there was almost no place to stand.
Leni said without looking back, holding the door handle of the carriage, "Are you sure you really want to go in with me in the last carriage?"
Cen Jin: "If you can, can you give me ten euros first? I'm afraid you will default on your bill."
"What are you afraid of?"
Leni looked up, her face pale and blue, blood-colored wounds crawling from her neck to her cheeks, and a fatal wound on her neck nearly severed her neck.
"I won't default on the debt, but it's you. It's fine if you don't regret it. You will have to pay back a hundredfold if you run away."
With a snap, she opened the door of the last carriage, and thick dust rushed toward her face. Cen stepped aside this morning, and after a while, she heard Leni call him, "Come in."
He was silent for a few seconds, walked to the door, and saw that it was dark inside, while Leni was standing two meters away and gave him a wicked smile.
"your face?"
"Does it look good?"
"It's okay." He had seen even more terrifying and weird looks.
Leni looked at Huang Mao's calm expression and touched her cheek subconsciously. She knew best what she looked like now. Ordinary people saw that they were either too frightened and fainted or screamed and ran away.
"It's a pity." Leni sighed as she looked at Huang Mao who stepped into the carriage.
Huang Mao asked her what she was sorry for, and heard the door of the compartment behind him slam shut. The candlesticks on the wall of the compartment suddenly burst into orange flames. The roof, floor and abandoned seats of the car turned yellow and turned orange, with the edges falling off from time to time. Falling black soot, as if they were being scorched by fire.
"It's a pity that you need to leave your life here today." Leni suddenly rolled over and fell to the ground, her stomach was raised up, her limbs twisted behind her back, like a long-legged spider standing up, she raised her head to face Cen Jin: "I need your soul. ."
Cen Jin turned around and tried to open the door, and found that the door was locked tightly. He heard a rustling sound in his ears, and the firelight projected a huge strange shadow on the door panel in front of him. Looking back, he saw three humanoid spiders crawling out of the corner one after another.
Two men and one woman, with their belly high and their limbs twisted to their backs, their heads turned 180 degrees, their faces covered with scars, climbed on the ceiling and stared at Cen Jin in unison.
Cen's back was close to the iron block of the carriage, and his face was horrified: "What the hell are you? What do you want to do?"
Leni: "Sorry, I don't want to hurt anyone, but we've been stuck on this train for too long."
The middle-aged male humanoid spider on the roof of the car scolded Leni: "Don't talk nonsense with him, we have to hurry up, if the conductor finds out, we won't even be able to drink soup."
The younger male humanoid spider and the older female humanoid spider next to him were full of approval, eyeing the human who finally appeared, and they discussed how to repeat the same trick later, and then trick the yellow-haired companion over and kill them.
As long as there are four people, their family of four can completely escape this death train.
Leni originally didn't like Huangmao, but who told Huangmao to keep calm when she saw her true face
That's enough to counteract all the bad feelings a minute ago.
Therefore, she is quite sympathetic to Huang Mao, who is about to die tragically, even if she will not give up the original plan of hunting.
Their family of four discussed excitedly, but they didn't notice that Huang Mao was looking at them with no interest. Obviously, he lost his desire to perform a pure love boy and stray into the den of a perverted murderer.
"Don't be noisy! Kill it and talk about it!"
After finishing speaking, three figures jumped down from the roof of the carriage.
Unexpectedly, it slammed into the door, and the target did not know when to hide in the corner.
They were so dizzy they thought it was because they didn't aim well, so they cooperated to outflank Cen Jin. After several consecutive attacks, they found that they couldn't even touch the corner of Huang Mao's clothes, and they realized that this person was not simple.
So the four humanoid spiders quickly retreated to the door, looked at each other, and communicated silently. One of the largest humanoid spiders suddenly lifted up the abandoned iron chair and threw it at Cen Jin, then turned and ran away quickly.
Bang, bang! Bang!
The three bangs ended at the same time, and the iron chair fell to pieces. Leni and the other four humanoid spiders slammed into the carriage, but found the iron block, which was usually very fragile.
No matter how stupid they are now, they also realize that they have encountered a tough stubble, and they may even explain it here today.
"100 times the compensation of ten euros is one thousand euros. When will it be paid?"
Leni, who was sweating profusely, suddenly heard the cold voice behind her, like a debt collection, and screamed in fright. She jumped up on the roof of the car and quickly climbed to the corner. Four humanoid spiders were tightly clustered together and stared vigilantly. Huang Mao, as if he was a murderous pervert.
"What the hell are you? What do you want to do?"
Cen Jin fiddled with a stool from the pile of junk, wiped it clean, sat down, crossed his legs like Ding Baiqing, put his fingers on his knees, looked up at the four humanoid spiders and smiled: "Sorry, I don't want to kill in vain. , but if you owe a thousand euros, you must pay it back, there is no negotiation, no nonsense, or I will kill the chicken and show the monkey immediately."
"… "
This conversation seems familiar.
Leni broke away from the protection of the older female humanoid spider, jumped onto the junk pile, got a little closer to Huangmao and said, "I don't actually have any money."
Cen Jin's smile was pulled down immediately.
Leni said quickly, "But I can show you how to get out of the death train."
Huang Mao was more concerned about other things, and he asked with a humble wish: "Not even ten euros?"
Leni: "..." How poor people would choose between life and ten euros without hesitation
Huang Mao was sad, and his mood was not high: "Forget it, have you ever killed someone?"
Leni raised her head and glanced at her family, and asked cautiously, "Does it count as killing someone if you die and die accidentally?"
Huang Mao: "Expand it."
Leni swallowed her saliva, rubbed her fingers unconsciously, and said, "I'm not lying, our grandmother was infected with the dancing plague. To save her, we cut off her legs without medical treatment, and watched her climb out of the house and die. In the snow... But we had troubles, we had reasons, and we found out that it wasn't our grandmother, but a monster in grandmother's skin, like the wolf-grandmother in fairy tales pretending to be Little Red Riding Hood.
The monster under the human skin is a huge spider similar to a human shape, which is ten times more distorted than our current appearance. It is composed of dozens of pale undead fused together. It is a bit like a virus, but more like a humanoid spider.
It burrowed into my grandmother's body when she was dying, disguised herself as my grandmother and lived in our ordinary family of four, controlling, threatening and beating, forcing us not to disobey its orders until it was infected with the plague and jumped continuously. After four days and three nights, she jumped to the point where all her toes were worn out, praying that we would find the executioner's knife and cut off her legs. "
Cen Jin interrupted her: "It requires the executioner's knife?"
Leni: "Because cutting off Karen's legs is the executioner's knife, the executioner's knife must cut both legs to truly end the plague, otherwise she will drag her broken legs and continue dancing until her feet are ground into sticks. , the body was white and cold, and it rotted into bones, like a clockwork doll."
She seemed to remember something and shivered.
"You don't know how terrible it is to be exhausted." Leni whispered, her voice trembling, mixed with fear. "We didn't know about the red shoes epidemic at first, and we were happy to get rid of our terrifying grandmother. Within two days, we were also infected with the epidemic, and we were lucky not to die. After two days, we woke up and moved to escape the little boy on the third night. Town, got on the train to Luxembourg, didn't expect to stay on the train forever."
Cen Jin: "Family of four mixed into the train, put sleeping pills in the drinking water, killed everyone on the train, including the conductor and conductor, causing the driverless train to drive the wrong track, crash into the valley, explode, and fill up the train. The corpse of the car and the train merged into one and could not be cleaned up.
Even with the level of rescue at the time, the entire train could not be successfully salvaged from the depths of the valley. Finally, the family of the deceased was asked to agree to use the wreckage of the death train as a grave, and buried the people and the car in the depths of the valley.
By the way, if I remember correctly, below the valley is the Rhine. "
Leni was stunned: "You know?"
Cen Jin shook his phone: "After you told the story, I started to check the local news. The accident happened in the winter of 1990, and the road was blocked by heavy snow for a month. This is also the reason why the train was not salvaged in time."
The three humanoid spiders on the roof of the car slowly climbed down, approached Leni, and stared at Cen Jin vigilantly.
"Are you an exorcist priest from the Holy See?" The younger male humanoid spider asked expectantly, and was immediately pulled behind by the nervous elders.
Cen Jin said quietly, "I'm not."
Although the family of four in front of them had no hope, they were inevitably disappointed after hearing this, and then heard Huang Mao say, "But the nature of my work is similar to that of an exorcist priest."
"Huh?" Leni was stunned, then took a step forward excitedly: "Then, can you help us get rid of this damn death train? Can you help us get rid of the dancing plague?"
Cen Jin raised his eyebrows: "Aren't you dead? Why are there still plagues?"
Leni: "Until the apostles bring the word of forgiveness from the gods, plagues and judgments will follow us forever."
After a pause, she said: "The real death is the annihilation of souls, and our souls are still wandering on this train day and night. During the day, they can disguise themselves as they were before and infiltrate the travel team."
"Why do you call me little Karen?"
"I forgot that your mobile phone technology is very advanced now, and you have translations in various languages." Leni looked resentful, remembering Huang Mao said he didn't understand French before.
At that time, she believed it, mainly because the yellow hair was harmless to humans and animals, and no one would guard against a dead house.
"You must have found out that Karen is the real name of the girl with red shoes, and they collectively refer to all the victims of the plague as 'Karron'."
"Who?"
"A religious fanatical organization. They are anti-God, anti-Savior, worship death and all kinds of evil sacrifices. The Holy See denies that 'Kalon's disease', that is, the dancing plague, is God's judgment, and believes that 'Kalon's disease' is The plague spread by devils or witches to the human world, as long as the devils and witches are killed and then burnt offerings are carried out, God can be moved, and God's forgiveness and salvation can be obtained.
As I say in my story... This is not a story, it's a document my parents stole from the Holy See. At the end of the seventeenth century, witches and rabbit-headed people were indeed burned, and 'Garron's disease' disappeared for a while.
However, in the 20th century, global thinking was changing, scientific ideas swept the world, people gradually abandoned theology, and satire on God, the undead, and other unnatural forces were very popular, causing some extreme unnatural forces worshipers to be dissatisfied.
They abandoned their original beliefs, turned to dark and bloody beliefs, transformed burnt offerings into evil offerings, and turned their attention to the long-held 'Karen's disease'. "
"What is this organization called?"
"When I was about to find out, we had an accident." Leni's father suddenly said: "But I know what they worship and believe. Generally, cults believe in Satan, Beelzebub and other hell seven devil kings, only this organization believes in The Four Horsemen of Doom."
"That doesn't mean betraying God."
"The first commandment of the Ten Commandments of Moses: There shall be no other gods before me." Leni's father's face turned to the sky showed a rather serious expression: "Apart from Jehovah, no other gods can be recognized, let alone other beliefs. There is no difference between believing in the Knights of Doom and Satan, and the crimes are the same, which is the greatest betrayal of Jehovah.”
Moses' Ten Commandments? Cen Jin raised his eyes, smiled, and changed the subject: "You are trapped in this train, can killing me free you?"
Leni snorted: "The information my dad stole from the Holy See of the Vatican is about how to get rid of the plague."
"Similar to the sacrifice witch and the first bunny head?"
"Offer a lamb, offer a Karen, sincerely repent, get redemption and deliverance, this is the way to get rid of the plague." Leni looked at Cen Jin and said, "The lamb is the victim and the redeemer, the lamb is the savior, Also the Messiah, when the Holy See chose witches and rabbit-headed men, and now we have chosen you."
Cen Jin's eyebrows twitched, his eyes swept across the Leni family of four, and he said slowly: "By the way, are you not afraid that I suspect that you are the family of four that killed all the train crew?"
"Of course not," Lennie said strangely. "How could we be that slaughter house?"
The author has something to say: Happy Mid-Autumn Festival wives, this chapter comments on the red envelope of two hundred refills.
What I said last night is still five thousand words short of tomorrow, and now I can't write it out like my brain is muddy.
1. The story of red dancing shoes itself has a very strong religious consciousness.
Girls wear red shoes at funerals, dance in red shoes when their adoptive mother is ill, and wear red shoes at church... So they were punished by angels to dance all the time, and had to cut off their legs.
Religious awareness is very strong.
2. The lamb has a special meaning in the Bible. It is weak and harmless. It is the best sacrifice and the best sacrifice.
Jesus is compared to the lamb sacrificed to God (there is such an interpretation), and it is described that Jesus is a lamb, and his sacrifice as a lamb for the salvation of the world is great... From the "New Testament".
