Chapter 261: Someone Looks Familiar
Behind the carriage, the ghost liquid’s intention to wrap the strange claws was in vain because the other party suddenly disappeared, leaving it to find the target of attack again. After all, the one who had just been The cold-faced woman it controlled had already seized the opportunity and ran away.
And because the short-haired slender woman who was originally the second closest to its position has long been missing, it quickly targeted Wang Zhifan, who was currently the closest, and turned into a pool of mucus silently. Flowing towards him on the floor.
“You came to me, so I don’t mind giving you a ride.”
Wang Zhifan knew that the biggest advantage of this kind of ghost is actually its concealment, especially in a dark carriage. It is very difficult for ordinary players to catch its traces. In addition, it has strong control after getting close, which makes it very difficult to deal with.
But his perception is far stronger than that of ordinary players. Even if he can't see clearly in the dark, he can rely on the perception that covers everything to see everything. Therefore, this guy is no threat to him. He doesn't move very fast. Who can be harmed if things are monitored the whole time?
So he sat and stood there, waiting leisurely for the opponent to approach from behind. He planned to slash at it with a knife when it was almost close, allowing it to enjoy multiple types of high damage.
Time passed by second by second, and after a while, the ghost liquid flowed silently from the floor to within two meters of Wang Zhifan. At this time, he had already stood up from his seat and stood in the aisle, with the Thunder Dragon Madness in his hand. The blade was raised, ready to give the ghost on the ground a hard blow.
But at the moment when he struck out with the knife, the change occurred again. Specifically, a sharp claw appeared out of thin air behind his head and clawed at the back of his head! Surprisingly, he was the one who rescued the cold-faced woman not long ago!
"Haha... I'm just waiting for your sneak attack!"
Faced with this unexpected situation, Wang Zhifan not only did not panic at all, but as if he had been prepared for it. He immediately burst out a circle of ice source power all over his body, directly freezing the sharp claws behind his head that were sneaking up on him, and froze those who wanted to get closer in front of him. The liquid of ghost spirits was as cold as ice, and then the thunder dragon mad blade in his hand burst out with a sword light, penetrating the frozen ghost spirits on the ground, and then the sword force reversed, and along with his powerful waist He slashed behind him and hit the sharp claw with one blow!
Hey!
For a moment, the sound of something breaking sounded in the darkness, and then it fell to the ground and made a slight noise.
Although Wang Zhifan did not have dark vision, his powerful and abnormal perception still allowed him to know that his counterattack just now was only half successful. The reason was that he found that although the sharp claw that appeared out of thin air was hit by him, it was not. was destroyed, but it disappeared again at the last moment, leaving only a few fingernails on the floor.
"What on earth is this thing? It's probably not a ghost..."
He made a judgment in his mind, and several thoughts flashed through his mind, but he did not take any action. Instead, he focused his attention on the floor on the other side. At that position, he had just used the source of ice power and the sword light. The ghost liquid that attacked one after another has turned into glass-like fragments. Each fragment is trembling slightly, as if it wants to come together.
"I'm still trying to struggle after this...it seems I have to increase my intensity."
Seeing this, Wang Zhifan further increased the blessing of the source of ice, further freezing this tenacious ghost. Suppressed, not even able to tremble.
He then remembered that he could give this guy a world of ice and fire to enjoy, so he decisively activated the power of the magic dragon armor he was wearing, spitting out flames from his mouth and began to burn the controlled people on the ground. Ghost.
The light of the flame was also suppressed and invisible in this darkness, but its destructive temperature was not weakened at all. In a short time, under his precise control, the ghosts on the floor were burned to dryness. It's clean. I don't know if the flames can restrain this kind of liquid ghost, or if this ghost has been tortured to the limit by him, and it just needs this last round of attacks.
"Easy to solve."
After eliminating this powerful enemy, Wang Zhifan then returned to his seat from the aisle.
While moving, he focused his perception forward and found that the cold-faced woman who had escaped to the front of the car seemed to be turning back to face him, while the young man with dark circles was rubbing his neck. There was a band-aid on the back, and the oily-faced middle-aged man was holding the red box and mumbling something with his lips moving.
"Is it her? Or is there someone else?"
Wang Zhifan immediately suspected that the person who used the claw to attack him just now was one of them, but a certain woman who has been missing until now Players also have some suspicions.
When he actually returned to his seat and sat down, he found that the dark carriage had completely returned to calm. The two ghosts that had sneaked in from the front and rear doors had been sealed and destroyed respectively. The sharp claw that could appear out of thin air had also been severely damaged and no longer wanted to do anything. Sneak attack, it seems that the most dangerous time has been spent by them.
“There is still movement at the car door, but it seems to be blocked by some force, and you will not be able to get in for a while.”
Wang Zhifan then focused his observation on the front and rear doors to deduce There were many more ghosts that might come in to entertain them, but the situation was much better than he thought. This train didn't seem to intend for more ghosts to attack them in the dark.
While he was thinking this, a slender figure who had disappeared for a while appeared again in the seat behind him. He looked calm. He must have made sure that the car was safe before appearing.
“Her breath has not changed much, and her fingers are not injured.”
Wang Zhifan focused on sensing the situation of the female player and found that she might not be the person he suspected, but he was not completely sure.
"Forget it, let's see later."
After thinking about it, he took no further action and pretended as if nothing had happened for the time being.
The actual situation became very peaceful indeed. No more ghosts appeared in the dark carriage, and no player walked around at will. Everyone sat quietly in their seats, it seemed. Sleep time has really begun.
“That’s fine.”
Wang Zhifan was actually on guard against any player having bad intentions, but since no one had this tendency, he didn't bother to waste his energy. He quickly gathered his perception around him, and then practiced the Great Dream Sword while falling asleep. Classics, this can be said to be a very significant advantage of this technique. It does not require the practitioner to wield a sword or a gun. He can slowly improve by practicing directly in the dream world.
More than half an hour later, the lights suddenly turned on, the dark interior of the car became bright again, and the pleasant female voice on the radio sounded almost at the same time.
"Dear passengers, it has been detected that many doors on this train are loose. Captains, please close the doors tightly to prevent unexpected accidents."
"Cut...it is obvious that the door was opened deliberately to let out ghosts. Yes, you said the car door was loose..."
The young man with dark circles with a band-aid on the back of his neck was the first to curse when he saw this. Then he got up and walked to the door in front of the carriage. He saw that there was indeed a gap in the door, and there were many more behind the gap. An unknown being tried to get through, but it didn't seem to go so smoothly.
"How do you close this car door? It can't be pulled open at all!"
He held the handle and tried it, and found that the door did not move at all and could not be closed completely.
"Perhaps it requires the captain to shut it down?"
The greasy-faced middle-aged man who came from behind also stretched out his hand to try, and realized after finding that it had no effect.
“He’s already locked one up!”
The cold-faced woman pointed to the back of the car. A tall young man had already easily closed the back door while the people in front were struggling.
"It seems that you are our captain, brother? Why didn't you tell me earlier!"
Seeing Wang Zhifan approaching and preparing to close the door, the dark-rimmed young man suddenly realized that he had just been wondering about the mention on the radio What's the matter with the captain? I thought to myself that their carriage had not elected a captain at all. Now it seems that this position has long been confirmed.
"I'm just the one who opens the door. How can there be no captain without a captain."
Wang Zhifan didn't care about this. He stepped forward and closed the front door tightly. This kind of operation related to the carriage seemed to require specific operations. This strange setting made him realize that the NPC position of captain was actually quite important. It was really convenient for him to occupy this position, as he didn't have to get close to the NPC. "Hey...the nails on the ground...are the ones that attacked my neck!"
Suddenly, the young man with dark circles noticed two nails that fell on the floor of the carriage, and stepped forward. He found that they had been cut off by a sharp weapon, but the tips were still very sharp.
"This thing also attacked me, but it happened to help me out."
The cold-faced woman came over and gave a few comments.
“Is it something from a ghost? It doesn’t look like it.”
The young man with dark circles immediately squatted down and observed carefully, judging that the two nails were not left by ghosts because they lacked that evil aura.
“Let me try.”
The oily-faced middle-aged man did not judge by appearance alone. He took out his red box and pointed it at the nails on the ground, only to find that the nails were not there. be affected in any way.
"It definitely doesn't belong to a ghost, otherwise there will definitely be some reaction."
The middle-aged man then gave an inference.
"That means... the person who used it to attack me before might have been a certain player?"
At this point, the dark-eyed young man naturally understood the situation, and his eyes suddenly glanced at the others around him suspiciously.
But everyone looked at him with open eyes, and there was no hint of guilt. Only the short-haired, slender woman sitting quietly on the other side moved her eyes slightly, as if she wanted to say something.
"Sister, did you discover anything before?"
The young man with dark circles stepped forward and asked this player who didn't like to communicate with others, hoping that she could give some clues.
"It was indeed one of us who did it, but I can only say so much."
The female player answered immediately when she saw his question, but she did not speak clearly.
"Okay... I have not experienced this kind of thing before, but I hope that person will stay calm in the back and don't get caught by me."
The young man did not force anything after hearing this. The female player named the person she was suspicious of, but gave a relatively broad warning.
“I declare once again that I strongly oppose this kind of internal strife. Such chaos will only reduce everyone’s customs clearance efficiency. I hope this will not happen in the future.”
The oily-faced middle-aged man then said seriously. He mentioned that everyone should unite before turning off the lights, but it seemed that some people didn't give him face.
"Huh...what's the use of saying all this? Let's use our abilities to find out what we can do."
The cold-faced woman also echoed, her attitude was a bit negative.
Wang Zhifan on the side listened to their discussion, but did not participate. The reason was that he was not really sure who did it, and at the same time he did not care much about his behavior because the other party's The strength is obviously not very strong, otherwise the sneak attack would not be fruitful.
After this little episode, the train moved forward for a while, and then announced that it was about to arrive at platform 15.
"We have to recruit some NPCs, otherwise we will be short of manpower when we get to the building."
Before arriving at the platform, the greasy-faced middle-aged man suggested to everyone, and his eyes glanced at Wang Zhifan from time to time.
"The NPC is too weak, and recruiting him is a burden."
The cold-faced woman criticized him as usual and raised objections.
“It’s better to recruit some people, it’s good to use them to avoid traps.”
The young man with dark circles thought about it, but he still tended to agree with the oily-faced middle-aged man's suggestion.
"I personally don't want to recruit more people, but whoever wants help can go down and find it later."
Wang Zhifan feels that it is more convenient to fight monsters alone, so he doesn't want to involve more people. Many people came in.
Before they could reach a conclusion from their discussion, the train slowly stopped at platform No. 15. This was a rather dilapidated platform with not a large area. Only a few carriages near No. 666 happened to be parked on it. Next to them, the passengers waiting on the platform also looked strange. They were all wearing hooded black robes, and their faces were deeply hidden in the black cloth. None of them talked or moved, and they looked a little bit... Weird.
“This group of passengers is so strange. They look neither like humans nor ghosts. Their aura is similar to that of ghosts, but there are obvious differences.”
When the side door of Car No. 666 opened slowly and automatically, the oily-faced middle-aged man observing from the nearby window immediately expressed doubts and seemed to be confused about who was coming outside. It would be fine if they were a mix of humans and ghosts. But it just so happens that each of them looks like both a human and a ghost.
"This aura and outfit...why do I feel familiar..."
Wang Zhifan also had a similar reaction to him. He frowned and murmured in his heart, noticing that the people on the platform He seemed to have seen this person somewhere.
Within a few seconds, these strange men in black robes outside began to take action. They seemed to have a clear goal. They divided into several groups and walked towards the carriages in front, including carriage No. 666 where Wang Zhifan and others were.
As these people came closer, the curious Wang Zhifan and other players gradually saw part of their appearance hidden in the hood, which was the black and rotten facial skin and swelling. Their noses or sunken nasal bones, and their evil eyes as scarlet as evil spirits, nevertheless revealed a calm and restrained aura beneath their terrifying appearance, allowing them to show some precious humanity amidst the terror.
"Hell Academy?"
When Wang Zhifan witnessed this appearance, the memories of the past came to his mind.
