Chapter 293 The Danger on the Train

Ji Yi was taken aback when she heard the voice.

There weren't many passengers in the carriage, so the view was quite open. Plus, Ji Yi had good eyesight, so even through two carriages, she could see the bloody footprints very clearly.

"what the hell"

The pattering of footsteps became the only sound inside the train.

It was at this moment that the data eye provided the information.

Title: Traces of Murder

[Danger Level: Extremely Dangerous]

Rating: S

[Introduction: A supernatural tale born from the combined ferocity of a murderer and the resentment of his victims, revealing a deep-seated obsession with killing.]

The following are the conditions that trigger murder.

[1. When a lone individual is within a certain range and there is only one other living person, prioritize eliminating them.]

[II. A suitable crime scene: a confined space where escape is difficult, prioritizing attacks on living people within the area.]

[III. The perpetrator: Any living person who kills another will have their "murder traces" prioritize targeting that person.]

IV. Women and Children.

Without reading any further, Ji Yi couldn't help but give a wry smile:
"No need to look anymore, this guy is coming for me."

Therefore, it appears that there are no strict rules prohibiting passengers from moving around while the train is in motion.

but
If the traces of the murder are coming, they'll have to pass through carriage number 4. Aren't they afraid? Or is it that a brief encounter won't cause any problems?
Reality quickly provided Ji Yi with an answer.

The clattering footsteps abruptly stopped at the junction of carriages 3 and 4.

The train fell into a deathly silence.

One second, two seconds later, the chase seemed to have ended due to unforeseen circumstances.

"As expected, not everyone can enter carriage number 4."

"Clap!"

Before Ji Yi could finish speaking, footsteps sounded again, and this time the bloody footprints crossed carriage number 4 and suddenly appeared on the floor of carriage number 5.

Ji Yi felt her hair stand on end!

"That's interesting."

Thinking it over, Ji Yi slowly stood up, facing the position of carriage number 5, and moved her feet lightly, her body slowly backing away.

He moved very quietly and slowly. Although he knew that moving around inside the carriage was not prohibited, it did not mean that he could run around inside the carriage.

The overworked office worker seemed to notice Ji Yi's movements, looked up at him, then lowered his head again, clutching his briefcase, staring blankly at the ground with his eyes vacant.

The woman in red also reacted; her nose twitched, as if she had smelled something in the air.

Immediately afterwards, her neck snapped, twisting at an angle no human could possibly make, turning her face toward Ji Yi.

It was a dead face full of resentment, bleeding from all seven orifices, devoid of any color, but its eyes were not cloudy, but rather gleaming with a sharp light as it stared intently at Ji Yi.

"Why are you looking at me? I'm not a jerk."

Ji Yi wasn't afraid, but she stopped retreating.

He discovered that the dark figure sitting on the opposite chair behind him was blocking his escape route.

As soon as Ji Yi walks towards carriage number 7, her shadow will inevitably overlap with the black figure.

In that case, he would die at the hands of the black-clad figure before the murderer could even make a move.

It seems the roundabout tactic of escaping to carriage 12 is no longer feasible.

If Ji Yi is willing to lower his guard, he could consider crawling on the ground to avoid touching his shadow.

However, putting aside the possibility that the black figure might suddenly move to intercept them, even if Ji Yi manages to retreat to carriage number 7, what about the strange creatures in the carriages behind?

This place is fraught with danger, and changing carriages means facing even more unknown risks.

Even in just carriage number 6, Ji Yi could sense the danger with the slightest movement, let alone the even more strange tales in the carriages behind.

Ji Yi then stopped in her tracks.

"Pat-pat, pat-pat."

Blood-red footprints slowly approached from the other end of the narrow carriage, and the number and variety of the blood-red marks increased as they got closer to Ji Yi.

At first, there were only a pair of feet, then bloody palm prints appeared, and when it moved to the middle of carriage number 5, many facial prints appeared.

The bloodstains were no longer confined to the ground; irregular blood-red human marks began to appear on seats, train doors, and even the ceiling of the carriages.

This is only because the paranormal train itself has the effect of suppressing the range of supernatural tales; otherwise, the traces of murder would be enough to spread to every corner of a city, turning a city of a million people into a dead city in half a day.

This is an S-class ghost story, a terrifying existence that transcends the ordinary and is extraordinary.

Although Ji Yi once reached a level of strength closest to S-rank in "Second Life", that so-called closeness was still far from the true S-rank combat power.

Getting back to the point, only 30 seconds had passed since Ji Yi entered the train, and judging by the speed at which the murderer moved, Ji Yi would be dead within half a minute.

"Should we use the [Nascent Soul Stage Trial Card]?"

This is his last resort to save his life, making him invincible in the realm of supernatural tales for 5 minutes.

However, this is in preparation for dealing with Misaki's resentment.

If he used it now, it would indeed save his life, but it would also mean wasting two and a half minutes of his usage time. This was something he didn't want to foresee.

After all, no one knows how much the outcome will change when facing an SS-level ghost story, especially if the difference is just a minute or two.

"At the speed of a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, it would take at least forty seconds to traverse over two hundred kilometers. I took the subway to save time!"

Thinking it over, Ji Yi put the card she was holding back into her inventory.

"Clap! Clap! Clap!"

The endless bloodstains stretched rapidly, reaching one end of carriage number 6 in the blink of an eye.

Ji Yi is in the middle section, and death is approaching him step by step.

Just then, the lights inside the carriage suddenly began to flicker.

Oh dear, when it rains, it pours! A fellow in carriage 7 who dislikes bright lights and noise has been disturbed, and he seems a bit resentful.

[Heh, don't expect it to help you fight the "Traces of Murder" and end up with both sides severely injured. In fact, you'll be beaten to a pulp by their combined attack. What's that saying again? Right, when gods fight, mortals suffer.]

Just as the text information flashed by in the Data Eye, the lights in carriage number 6 went completely dark.

In that instant, even though the lights in the other carriages were still on as usual, there was no light in Ji Yi's vision.

Fortunately, the panel can still be brought up as usual, but it cannot illuminate the surroundings, and there is no other information in the field of vision.

In this situation, the data-driven approach naturally cannot be effective.

Based on the scene just before her vision disappeared, Ji Yi calculated that she had about 5 seconds left. If she didn't do something within those 5 seconds, she would surely die.

Darkness. Dislikes noise.

Recalling the information from the Data Eye that she had just seen, Ji Yi suddenly remembered the key turning point in the incident.

"Yes. The path to salvation lies there!"

hum-

Ji Yi's voice stopped abruptly.

But this did not mean he was killed.

On the contrary, the two strange tales that attacked him from both sides stopped less than half a meter away, while Ji Yi stood still, his chest still rising and falling steadily as he breathed.

Despite the darkness, Ji Yi knew clearly that there was someone else beside her.

It was a humanoid creature with an octopus head.

S++ level ghost story - Silence.

To be precise, it is Silence, a "stand-in" with 100% power created by the [Mirror in the Lake].

"As I expected, the Forbidden Zone of Strange Tales is no longer the same as before. In addition, with that guy's dark puppy in carriage number 7, even if it's not the period of mutation, Silence can use his domain ability."

Ji Yi spoke, but could not hear her own voice.

The biggest gain from my last visit to the restricted area was probably using the [NPC console] to control Silence, then killing it and making it a "substitute" in the [Lake Mirror].

But to call it a gain is an understatement; the silent existence is actually quite awkward and pointless.

It is not a traditional ghost story, but a "monster" that is closer to the servants of the ancient gods, and its way of existence is rather special.

This thing is only active during the mutation period in the restricted area. Outside of this place, Ji Yi has no way to summon it or control it.

But now, with the right timing, location, and people, silence can finally play a role again.

The Domain of Deathly Silence is a silent domain ability that can erase sound from the area it covers, and can also arbitrarily erase any "existence" within its range.

Under the pressure of the train, the area of ​​the Dead Silence was small, but enough to protect Ji Yi.

The world fell into complete silence and darkness at this moment, and Ji Yi could not even hear her own heartbeat and breathing.

About ten seconds later.

The lights in carriage number 6 flickered a few times again before turning on.

The scene that should have been covered in bloodstains had somehow become as clean as when I first arrived.

Looking further ahead, on one side of a seat in carriage number 3, a human-shaped bloodstain, just like a crime scene, was "lying" there, as if it had been sleeping there all along.

In carriage number 7 behind him, Ji Yi could no longer see the person who had brought the darkness.

That thing seemed to have no physical form; in any case, it couldn't be seen with God's vision alone, and the Data Eye relied heavily on Ji Yi's own visual abilities.

"It should require a visual ability similar to psychic abilities to see. Although the name God's Vision sounds impressive, it's actually just the so-called 'God's perspective' in the game. It's not that amazing, and the reconnaissance effect is only useful on the physical side."

From this perspective, the shortcomings in investigation capabilities are exposed.

"If one can learn 'night vision' and 'spiritual vision,' and then merge them with the Eye of God, one can obtain 'omnipotent vision.'"

Unfortunately, acquiring skills depends entirely on luck; Ji Yi can't just get whatever she wants.

With a soft sigh, Ji Yi focused her gaze on the silence beside her.

Perhaps due to the retreat of darkness, the Realm of Deathly Silence was noticeably smaller, to the point that Ji Yi had to get very close to this disgusting-looking guy in order to ensure that she remained in a state of "disappearance".

At this moment, Ji Yi has become a so-called invisible person, so the remaining two minutes of the journey should be easy to get through.

"Speaking of invisible people, I've seen a few Japanese films and television shows about it."

Ji Yi turned her gaze to the woman in red.

"Speaking of which, this is similar to the time-stopping series."
