Idle game leads to another world.

Chapter 879 By your side
This was Gan Xiaoyan's first time traveling far away, and in fact it was similar for everyone else.

The system of dividing the work into nine regions means that the nine departments in one place may never need to go out of town in their entire lives. Moreover, they are usually very busy with work, and when they finally have a vacation, they will lazily lie at home and sleep. No one will go on a long trip.

But this situation suddenly occurred on the high-speed rail and it seemed abnormal no matter how you looked at it.

Considering the incident of Leilei being attacked, it is obvious that there is something behind this incident, and the target is definitely Leilei.

Speaking of Leilei, she is still in a coma and can't wake up. There is no point in being anxious, otherwise Leilei could tell us what is going on.

Although the Nine Departments deal with supernatural phenomena and creatures, the vast majority of them are just ordinary people who rely on experience and equipment.

No one has ever seen a situation like this before, and no one has read similar information, so there is no experience to learn from.

As for equipment...

This can only be attributed to time constraints and lack of preparation.

Since the nine departments work in different areas, personnel cannot move around freely. Unless they obtain permission from the General Administration, entering the jurisdiction of the other nine departments without authorization is an act of violation of internal discipline.

This is done to prevent someone within the Nine Departments from relying on supernatural things to make profits for themselves, and also to prevent the nine departments in some places from uniting to fight against the General Administration.

As the pro-war faction among the Nine Departments advocated the complete extermination of the monsters, Qian Sen could not explain the matter too clearly, so he only arranged an identity of "special envoy from the headquarters" for Gan Xiaoyan and the others, under the name of the local branch that suddenly lost contact during the Jingzhou inspection.

And because the action was hasty, there was no time to inform the railway department, so naturally it was impossible to bring things like pistols on the train, and even a baton was not allowed.

So Gan Xiaoyan and her team are now literally unarmed, carrying only some equipment that will not be intercepted by security.

What's even more uncomfortable is that there are only two people in Qian Sen's jurisdiction who can be considered capable of fighting.

One is Lei Lei, who is in a coma.

One is Li Chengxi, who went to take a shit.

There was no third person who could help.

In this strange silence, Gan Xiaoyan took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.

At this time, something unsettling happened again.

The lights in the rear car began to flicker as if there was a bad connection, and there was a roaring thunder outside the car, like some special drum beats.

Everyone just felt their throat tighten, as if an invisible hand gently grabbed their throat and could strangle them at any time. This made everyone unable to help but touch their necks to make sure there was nothing on them.

The frequency of the flashing was getting higher and higher, and Gan Xiaoyan knew that she couldn't watch it any longer.

"Everyone take out the covering cloaks. We must not mess up."

Gan Xiaoyan's words awakened the others who were in a state of fear. They quickly opened their shoulder bags and took out the folded cloaks.

Although it is called a cloak, in fact the fabric is more similar to that of a raincoat, and the color is also similar to that of a raincoat. Some even have cartoon patterns on them. People who don’t know the situation would think it is just a plastic raincoat.

But this is actually the lifeline for the survival of the Nine Departments.

There was no time to put them on, so everyone huddled in their seats and pulled the covering cloak over themselves, carefully pressing the edges and corners to ensure that no part of their bodies was exposed.

The cloak of concealment can evade many detections, one of the most important properties of which is that it can make undead creatures blind to the person under the cloak.

The way undead creatures observe the world is certainly different from that of living people. Not to mention whether zombies' eyes still have any function, ghosts that don't even have a physical body definitely don't use their naked eyes to observe the world.

In the eyes of undead creatures, the world is a large area of ​​chaotic and cold lines, but in their eyes, living people are like glowing red beams, which are extremely conspicuous. The concealing cloak can block the signals of living people. In the eyes of undead creatures, there are no living people here at all.

Maybe Gan Xiaoyan thought this was caused by a ghost. After all, if you look at the style of the painting, it is very much like a horror movie.

Come to think of it, isn’t it a monster that’s causing trouble this time?

Why are there still ghosts?
This is because ghosts and monsters cannot be separated.

In the eyes of monsters, when a person becomes a spirit, he becomes a ghost.

There are also monsters that will form alliances with powerful ghosts, and no one can predict.

Because Gan Xiaoyan was smaller in stature, she shared a cloak with Lei Lei. She protected Lei Lei by lying on top of her, and then covered her with the cloak.

The shielding cloak was translucent, and the vision became dim. I could vaguely see that the lights in my own carriage began to flicker and sway.

No one dared to breathe. They were like children who had watched a horror movie during the day and whose terrifying scenes kept replaying in their minds in the middle of the night. They curled up in their quilts, as if they felt safe only here. It was a barrier that no demons or ghosts could break through.

This behavior is rather ostrich-like, but it is the only way at the moment. We can only hope that when Li Chengxi comes back, he will find that they are missing and then come looking for them.

The frequency of the flickering lights became faster and faster, and finally, accompanied by a faint sound from the wick, the lights disappeared completely, and both inside and outside the cloak fell into darkness.

Everyone seemed to be able to hear their own breathing and the thumping of their hearts. They quickly covered their mouths and noses, trying to slow down their breathing and calm themselves down.

In this extremely quiet environment, they heard it.

——Sizzle…

——Sizzle…

It was like the sound of some sharp metal object being dragged across the floor. It was slight, but in this extremely quiet environment, it was more harsh than any other sound.

Especially this voice, it seemed to be getting closer and closer, moving towards their location.

No one dared to lift the cloak to take a look. The blocking effect of the cloak was purely due to the special material. If any breath of a living person was leaked, it might be detected by the undead creatures.

The sound was getting closer and closer. The stuffiness and slight lack of oxygen made Gan Xiaoyan a little dazed. She felt like she smelled a sweet smell. She was not sure whether it was from the car or the perfume on Lei Lei's body. It was a special fragrance that was hard to describe.

Gan Xiaoyan shuddered immediately. Her consciousness had just been in a trance for a moment, and this shudder just made her come back to consciousness.

A thought suddenly popped into my mind.

This fragrance is like sweet blood.

Even Gan Xiaoyan herself didn't know why this idea suddenly popped up in her mind, but it was extremely strong.

She hugged Lei Lei tightly, the warmth of a living person brought her a sense of security.
I tried hard to stop the uncontrollable trembling in my shoulders and prayed silently in my heart that all this would pass quickly.

But things in this world often go against one's wishes.

The sound of faint footsteps mixed with the rustling sound of dragging feet did not go away, but was gradually approaching.

Until a moment later, the sound stopped.

But Gan Xiaoyan didn't feel at ease at all, because she seemed to feel that something was standing next to her, with only a thin layer of fabric covering the cloak between them...
