The Modern Age of the Mysterious

v1 Chapter 511: unmanned train

"Don't move." Sean quickly vibrated the card to remind Moonlight.

The shocking changes around them were too sudden. Although they had already prepared for unexpected situations, they did not expect to be suddenly surrounded by a group of weird things that were "dining".

Sean's heartbeat twitched, and he clearly felt that the moonlight beside him was about to move.

When a person faces a sudden shock, the body will secrete a large amount of adrenaline.

This makes the heart beat faster, the body tremble, and the mind go blank.

A person in this state will not think but react in two ways—

"Fight or flight".

Sean quickly reminded him with the Quest Poker, and then Moonlight, who was breathing significantly faster, sat down on the seat without responding.

Keep the dining car dark, filled with the sound of gobbling and the overwhelming stench.

Moonlight didn't dare to move, and used his peripheral vision to look at the table next to him "eat a feast".

He suspects that the pile of things on the table...

It is the remnants of man.

Breathing more evenly, Moonlight closed his eyes again, comforting his soul repeatedly.

"Lend me your spiritual power." Sean shook briefly.

The two spiritual substances came into contact, and their spiritual power merged together.

Sean activated the "God Root", and the Nightingale logo appeared on it, and the light was stronger than ever before.

A majestic force surged out of his body, he poured the thoughts of purification and cleansing into it, raised his hands suddenly, and the ignited spiritual power gushed out from his palms!

The torch of the oath is brighter than ordinary flames, and even has a golden color.

In this unprecedented burning, there was even a shadow of a goddess in a black robe!

The sudden light instantly illuminates the surrounding dining things...

Moonlight squinted and saw their appearance clearly.

They wear tattered, old human clothing. Under the remnants of clothes is no longer a human body, but something completely distorted and deformed, not only the skin and muscles, but even the bones have been distorted from the original meaning.

Not in human form, in various shapes.

Only the big mouth that suddenly opened somewhere on the body is consistent, full of sharp teeth like insect beards, and remains of crushed flesh and blood...

Before the moonlight could digest the shock of seeing the monster, a comforting scene appeared on the retina—

Under the illumination of the oath torch, they burned violently and disappeared like red carbon hit by a strong wind.

Those monsters that were farther away from the dining car, no longer in the mood to eat, all wailed and dropped the pieces of meat, turned around and fled to the next car.

The monsters in the dining car were wiped out, and Sean extinguished the torch in his hand.

He blinked a little tiredly, and took a sip of spiritual power smelling salts.

"Replay..." Moonlight had sweat on his forehead, with a relaxed expression on his face, "It worked.

"We seem to have arrived in a spiritual world."

Sean nodded, feeling everything in this spiritual world: stable, self-contained, and the surrounding things follow certain logic and laws...

It is not like the wild and chaotic spirit world formed by resentment, but like an independent spirit world with a master.

"Another incident involving the Wandering God?" Sean narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling a little anxious in his heart.

Lighting up the flashlight they carried with them, they began to look around with the help of the small, steady flame of the oath that continued to float around Sean.

It's the same gorgeous dining car, only with blood splatters, fluids, severed limbs and viscera everywhere...

Looking at this miserable scene, it seems that I can still hear the wailing happening here.

Olivia looked at the pieces of meat piled up on the dining table, and saw half a blank face. She frowned: "Everyone in the dining car was killed?"

Sean frowned: "I'm afraid it is..."

The keen-hearing Moonlight turned to his companion: "What's the sound!"

The two held their breath and suppressed the flywheel together, so they also noticed the faint sound.

Gasps.

The three walked in that direction. In the corner of the dining car, they saw the retired non-commissioned officer, James.

At this time, his appearance was very miserable, even the moonlight could not bear to look directly at him.

The face that originally had scars was already bloody. The entire left leg was gone and was still bleeding from the astonishing wound.

James seemed to be aware of Sean's approach, he moaned weakly, the firelight illuminated his absent-minded eyes—

God knows what kind of struggle he has been through.

Excessive blood loss seemed to make him fall into hallucinations. He confused the present with certain scenes in his memories. He stared at Sean and said hoarsely:

"Sir...

"I fired the last bullet."

With the last breath, he raised the accompanying gun, which had automatically unloaded due to empty bullets.

The hand dropped, the gun smashed into the flesh, and James let out his last breath.

The three explorers stood for a while.

Sean stepped forward and closed the eyes that had faded from life with his hands.

After standing up again, the New Testament reporter turned around and stared at the direction in which the monster was escaping.

The doorway is so deep.

His eyes were deep and firm, as if he was looking fearlessly at the giant black pupils.

"We have to go and see."

Not just because of the death of veteran James.

At this moment, the Northland Express is trapped in the snowstorm. If Xiao En and his party don't solve this spiritual problem, when the snowstorm subsides and people come to search and rescue, they will probably see an empty train.

And there will be one more weird news.

"Agreed." Moonlight also turned around and stood behind Sean, "Someone has to pay for this."

Olivia is also solemn.

After confirming that there were no other survivors in the dining car, Sean led his three-person team to the next car.

The layout is the same as that of the Northland Express, and the adjacent carriage is an ordinary dining car.

The decoration elements of this dining car are much more elegant. There are no traces of those flying flesh and blood.

"Those weird things..." Moonlight said after checking that there were no abnormalities in the ordinary dining car, "they may have escaped to the back compartment."

"Let's go." Sean already took the carbine in his hand, and stepped steadily into the next carriage.

Passing by section by section, Sean can already be sure that this unmanned train is completely a replica of the Northland Express—

Same dining car, same normal car.

The decor is exactly the same.

The difference is that there is no light in this strange spiritual world of the train~lightnovelpub.net~ and no passengers are seen...

Outside the car window, only the dark mist could be seen.

Just being here is terrifying.

The Northland Express has a total of 16 carriages. They slowly accelerated the pace of the search and soon reached the last carriage.

Looking at the rows of empty seats, the three of Sean looked at each other with some doubts: It's already the last car, where did those weird things go?

It wasn't until they reached the end of this section of carriages that they realized that things were different from what they had imagined—

"This should be the end." Olivia said with a puzzled look, "But why..."

They stood at the last passageway, and what was in front of them was not the outside of the train as expected.

It's the 17th car.
