Chapter 172 The Law of Time
The four of Ji Xun boarded the ghost train.
The lights in the carriage are orange, giving people a warm and warm feeling.
Except for a few translucent black translucent ghost travelers of unknown species, there were not many people sitting on the other chairs.
“Woo. Woo.”
The train started slowly, and the scenery outside the window also quickly reversed.
It is said to be a train, but more like a boat traveling on the river.
While driving, I heard the sound of breaking waves.
After the train pulled out of the platform, it gradually became dark outside the window.
But the weak fluorescence from nowhere illuminated an endless stretch of cold water.
Once you leave the platform, there is no reference. The water is clear again, and looking out, it feels like the train is traveling in the void.
It gives people a feeling that time and space are confused.
The werewolf's crisis intuition made Ji Xun always feel that there was something wrong with the carriage.
After he got in the car, he stood there.
Looking carefully at everything around him.
The [Bazquez's Nether Train] shown in previous enlightenment is itself a disaster of unknown level, but its stance is "neutral".
This means that it will not take the initiative to harm humans.
But that doesn’t mean it doesn’t have the ability to passively damage.
The “rule-based” disaster is just like the previous Rift Girl, there must be some special rules.
Getting in the car, they should already be in the disaster realm.
It's just that I don't see it now.
Watching Ji Xunmi move around.
Katrina beside her didn't move either, while Old Man Xu and his grandson stayed behind tactically.
The other hunters who came later did not know the situation. Although they were frightened, they also walked towards the carriage one by one.
Ji Xun asked calmly: "Have you found the problem?"
Catalina next to her knew that he was asking her question. She looked at the empty car, thought for a moment, and said, "There are no passengers who got on the car before."
Ji Xun's slightly narrowed eyes recognized this statement. , "Yeah. No traces were left."
Many people had already come down before.
But there was no trace of him on the platform or on the train.
No survivors, no corpses, no traces.
This is very strange.
Hearing this, Old Man Xu muttered: "We got off at the station. Well, or in another carriage?"
Ji Xun raised his eyebrows slightly as he listened. .
It is possible.
But not big.
He didn't say anything.
Because the current clues do not support any judgment.
But after observing for a while, they found no danger. The four of them also walked into the carriage and found an empty seat to sit down.
Looking at the scenery outside the window, and then at the jelly-like translucent ghost passengers.
Ji Xun always felt that something was a little strange.
But I couldn't tell what was strange.
However, before they had time to think about it, as soon as a few people took their seats, the conductor who was covered in black steam walked into the carriage.
The eyes of Ji Xun and the other hunters instantly became serious.
The other ghost passengers were like background panels, completely ignoring the humans, but this conductor gave people the feeling that he was intelligent.
A total of eleven people got on the bus this time and sat at three tables.
But what was surprising was that the conductor walked straight towards the table where Ji Xun and the four of them were sitting in the corner.
The purpose is very strong, and people can tell at a glance that it has an agenda.
Seeing this, Ji Xun's muscles have become slightly stronger.
Che Er also put his hand on the sword.
Even Catalina’s eyes became serious.
Several people are already ready to fight at any time.
Only the old man Xu, who had always been greedy for life and fearful of death, looked at the black figure, but there was a glint of familiarity and suspicion in his turbid eyes.
After a few steps, the conductor was standing next to the table.
The thick necromantic aura was like a biting cold wind, causing Ji Xun and others to have goosebumps all over their bodies.
It stood there quietly.
Then he reached out and made a gesture of pulling out something in his windbreaker.
Ji Xun hid under the table and held the scalpel in his hand.
If anything goes wrong, he will immediately get angry.
But the strange thing is that he didn't feel any murderous intention from the conductor.
I thought the conductor would do something unfavorable, but what I never expected was that he actually took out a huge enamel teapot.
What is this guy going to do?
Not only Ji Xun and the others were surprised, but the hunters at the other two tables also looked puzzled.
More than a dozen pairs of eyes stared straight at him.
The conductor took out another cup and raised the teapot. A stream of fragrant light yellow tea flowed from the mouth of the pot, and he filled the cup of hot tea.
What does it mean?
Are you served tea after getting on the bus?
This is the thought in everyone's mind.
But I felt something was wrong that I couldn’t explain.
They just continued to watch.
The conductor pushed the tea in front of Mr. Xu, bowed slightly, and then suddenly said: "*&￥%*&"
Jili Gulu said something incomprehensible.
Ji Xun immediately realized that this might be an ancient saying from the Talon Dynasty three thousand years ago.
However, after hearing this, Old Man Xu nodded?
Do you understand?
I didn’t wait for Ji Xun to figure it out.
At this time, he saw that this old man, who was usually very cautious by nature, drank the water glass he picked up without any scruples about whether it might be poison? !
"This"
Ji Xun originally wanted to stop it.
But as soon as the thought flashed, the words stopped on his lips.
Everyone of them might have problems drinking this glass of water.
Only this old man has the least chance of having problems.
And the question is, why did the conductor find Mr. Xu?
What did you say just now?
Many thoughts flashed through my mind.
At this time, the conductor seemed to sense something.
He unexpectedly took out another teacup, poured half a cup of tea into it, handed it to Ji Xun, and said the same sentence.
"Me too? But why only half of it?"
Ji Xun didn't understand, but he looked at the fragrant tea in the cup and glanced at the lively old man Xu.
He didn't hesitate much, picked up the tea cup and drank it in one gulp.
You can see the smoke coming out, but when you pour it into your throat, you feel refreshing and cool.
But here comes the surprise.
Qidi also appeared immediately: "You drank 'Bazquez's Nether Tea', and Xia Mu City's undead affinity +5"
"Hey!"
When Ji Xun saw Qi Di, he realized that the tea had a temporary buff state.
Great stuff!
But just when he thought it was time to get on the bus and everyone would get a cup of tea.
The conductor put away the cup, turned around and left.
Not even my deskmates Catalina and Che Er.
In an instant, a strange atmosphere filled the air.
This scene made everyone puzzled: Why do those two guys have tea, but we don’t?
All eyes looked over.
Even Ji Xun himself was also confused.
Unable to understand, he could only turn his eyes to look at Old Man Xu who drank a whole cup of tea.
The old man didn't realize what was happening. He felt a little frightened when he was stared at and asked, "Why are you looking at me?"
Ji Xun thought for a moment and asked with a strange expression. Said: "Senior, what did the conductor say just now?"
He himself also drank half a cup of tea, thinking that it might be the aura of the previous "Blessing of the Slit Girl"?
But old man Xu has no aura, so why did he drink a whole glass?
The most important thing is that the conductor bowed to him!
To understand, you may need to know what the conductor said just now.
Hearing this, Old Man Xu said casually: "Ah, it says 'Welcome to ride'. That's probably what it means."
When Ji Xun heard this, he looked surprised and said, "Senior, can you understand the ancient Talung language?"
Old man Xu looked confused: "What?"
Ji Xundao: "Just what the conductor said just now."
Reminded by this, Old Man Xu obviously lost his memory again, and his old face turned into a ball of pain: "Huh? I don't know why I understood it"
"."
Ji Xun's eyes twitched inexplicably.
Just now I could understand what the conductor said. Old man Xu obviously had "intermittent amnesia."
But this little detail is like the alarm bell in a horror movie.
Ji Xun and Catalina next to him looked at each other, and a numb feeling immediately hit their hearts.
The Talon Dynasty ended the ancient civilization three thousand years ago!
Not to mention that the ancient Talun language has not been handed down, even those ancient characters are not understandable by many.
Where did this old man learn this?
Thinking again, this guy has lived for at least two hundred years, and this ghost conductor seems to still know him.
Hiss!
Ji Xun and Catalina took a deep breath: How long did Old Man Xu live?
Others didn't know the inside story, and they couldn't understand the shock in Ji Xun's heart.
Ji Xun knew that he could not find out the reason if he asked, so he wanted to change the angle to break the situation.
However, at this moment, the car driver who had been silent for a long time frowned and said, "Grandpa, Mr. Ji Xun, do you think there is something weird in this carriage?"
< br>Old man Xu naturally didn’t feel anything, and was still talking to himself about what happened just now: "Yes. Why did I understand it?"
Ji Xun listened and raised his eyebrows slightly: "Oh? What does it feel strange?”
When they met before, he only thought that Che Er was an orphan that Old Man Xu picked up casually. But I don’t think so now.
He learned from Catalina about the big cause and effect involved in Old Man Xu.
People without great luck will die if they are contaminated.
But Che Er has been following the old man.
This alone makes it extraordinary.
After saying this, Catalina also looked over.
She was more curious about this boy than anyone else.
Che Er thought about it and said in an uncertain tone: "It seems that after getting on the train, time feels faster. It's like a train, getting faster and faster."
Ji After hearing this, Xun suddenly realized what the uneasiness in his heart was: "Is there a problem with time?"
Only after using the cognitive blessing of the clown mask before did he know that this train was a regular disaster.
But I thought my rank was too low, and I didn’t know what the “rules” on this train were.
Now that he said this, he seemed to have captured something vaguely.
Hearing this, Catalina's expression instantly became solemn.
The "Law of Time" is a high-level law, and low-latitude creatures cannot detect changes in the passage of time at all.
Just like some people feel that their whole life has passed by in a flash, and some people feel that their days are like years. This is just a passive perception of the existence of time.
And cannot influence anything.
Unlike Che Er, he clearly senses the problem of time flow!
Ji Xun secretly praised: "What a strong spiritual sense."
Just like being able to perceive various elements, you need the corresponding element affinity.
Being able to sense changes in time shows that his time affinity is very strong!
Thinking again of Old Man Xu, a guy who seemed to have been forgotten by time, Ji Xun suddenly understood why Che Er was picked up by Old Man Xu.
The one thing they have in common may be: the law of time!
Although Che Er is currently unable to accurately describe the difference he feels.
But with this reminder, Catalina suddenly discovered something and said in a deep voice: "Ji Xun, you have more white hair."
Ji Xun narrowed his eyes slightly as he listened.
He finally realized where the danger of this ghost train was.
"Neutral" is correct, but if there is really a problem with the flow of time, you may be trapped to death if you do nothing on this train.
But this is the trouble.
Even if they know there is a problem with the flow of time, they can't do anything.
Katarina did not lower her voice when she said this, and other hunters also heard it.
Those pioneer hunters who came looking for money did not have such a good attitude as Ji Xun and the other four.
When I heard that there might be a problem with the time flow rate, everyone became panicked!
“Hey Lao Wu, what should we do now?”
“Damn it, we shouldn’t have gotten on this ghost train just now.”
"Quickly think of a way to see if we can solve the problem."
"Liu Laizi, go to the back compartment and have a look!"
"Okay."
"."< br>
The carriage is so big that you can see it at a glance.
After the few people discussed, one person left his seat and walked towards another car.
There is a frosted glass door in the compartment between the carriages. It is shrouded in the dark aura of the dead. It is impossible to see what is going on in the next section, so I can only go there in person.
However, with this move, a strange scene took place.
The lame Liu pushed open the glass door to the rear carriage and disappeared into the darkness.
However, almost the second after he disappeared, the car in front also opened.
Everyone looked over and were surprised to find that the guy actually pushed the door out of the car in front!
"Liu Laizi, why did you come out from the front?"
Someone just spoke in a surprised tone.
Everyone’s eyes changed from surprise to horror.
Because at this time, they saw drastic changes taking place in Liu Laizi.
A layer of strange white light seemed to linger around the guy's body. His originally dark skin quickly aged and condensed into layers of wrinkles, and his muscles shriveled up in an instant.
This is the blink of an eye.
He seemed to have had his lifespan taken away by some mysterious force, and he became dozens of years older in the blink of an eye.
Before everyone could understand what was happening, the life in the eyes of the gray-haired old man had disappeared. The dead wood-like body disintegrated instantly and turned into pieces of paper-like debris, blending into the train and disappearing.
Seeing this, even Ji Xun and the others took a breath.
He finally understood where the pioneer hunters who might have gotten on the bus had gone.
There is a high probability that they will not get off at the station.
But the lifespan was completely consumed by this "disaster field" and turned into nourishment.
Seeing this scene, Liu Laizi’s companions were frightened.
The atmosphere of despair and terror instantly filled the entire carriage.
It’s not just the flow of time that’s problematic.
They are trapped now!
Can’t get out!
After standing there in confusion for a moment, the six people who were still alive scurried around anxiously like ants on a hot pot.
The leader with the beard seemed to have thought of something, so he rushed to Ji Xunzhu's table with a few others.
The bearded man looked at these four guys with extremely calm expressions and asked hysterically: "Damn it, what happened! Why are you okay! Also, what did the conductor say to you just now?!"
< br>On the verge of death, a few people did not care about being polite. They wanted to seize every opportunity to survive.
Ji Xun and the others actually don’t have a clue.
Of course I can’t answer.
I don’t want to deal with these guys at all.
Seeing that several people ignored them, the sound of guns being loaded rang out, and the black muzzles of the guns were pointed at their heads.
Unfortunately, weapons like firearms are of little use to card masters of level two or above.
Besides, the Pioneer Hunters are all impoverished carders, and the ordinary bullets in their magazines pose no threat at all.
Ji Xun was sitting outside, with several guns pressed against his head, his expression unchanged.
His eyes carefully observed the changes in the appearance of several people.
The more emotional you are, the more obvious your aging will be.
Seeing that he was being ignored, the bearded man couldn't stop his emotions that were already on the verge of collapse.
He glared hard and pulled the trigger.
After a burst of gunshots, bullets dropped all over the ground.
Ji Xun still sat firmly where he was.
The six people headed by the bearded man looked horrified when they saw this, and they all retreated.
Looking at Ji Xun who was safe and sound, they already understood that they were a high-level card master in front of them!
But I still can’t figure out why there are such powerful beings in the Pioneer Group.
Ji Xun was still sitting there, his eyes contemplative, and he had no intention of killing a few people.
In this situation, it would be better to have more survivors.
However, at this moment, Catalina next to her said worriedly, "Your hair."
Ji Xun knew that there were more gray hairs without even looking.
The reason is that he used magic power to protect his body just now.
He glanced at Catalina opposite and said calmly: "You have changed too."
"."
Catalina hesitated for a moment before realizing something.
It’s not that he has gray hair.
But the bra is obviously tight.
She is in her prime, and her physical development is still a little green.
But just in this moment, her chest has become fuller and has a somewhat mature charm.
The young lady from the Lionheart family obviously knew what Ji Xun was talking about, and her tone of voice showed no emotion or anger: "You are observing carefully enough."
As soon as these words came out, an atmosphere of despair filled the air. , but not so nervous anymore.
Ji Xun smiled, having reached a conclusion in his mind at this moment, and said: "The consciousness does not feel the change of the passage of time, but the body endures the flow of time thousands of times. Even if we do nothing, time will They are all speeding up. The more violent the energy fluctuations, the faster the life will pass."
Katrina also nodded.
The four of them fluctuated less, and the changes were not big.
As for the panic-stricken pioneer hunters opposite, the aging on their faces was now visible to the naked eye.
A few people did not expect that this secret realm would bring them such a big trouble as soon as they arrived.
The time domain can take away people's lives silently.
If this continues, even if they survive until the train arrives at the station, their lifespan will probably be almost exhausted.
However, this is a desperate situation for others.
For Ji Xun and the others, it was not the case.
After analyzing the effects of this disaster field, Ji Xun looked directly at Old Man Xu sitting in the corner.
Although he has some other methods that he can try, obviously, none of them are better than this.
Katerina understood instantly and was wary, but she looked over with her peripheral vision.
She didn't have any ideas to break the situation, so she could only count on this person.
Che Er didn't know why, but looking at Ji Xun and the two of them, he also looked over.
Old man Xu felt a little embarrassed when he was stared at, and asked with a mean expression: "You guys, what do you want to do?"
Ji Xun chuckled, "Senior, can we survive? , it’s up to you.”
This invisible killing knife in the time domain is a fatal threat to others.
But for this person, it’s really not possible.
And judging from the behavior of the conductor pouring tea just now, the old man's situation is more mysterious than meets the eye.
