Excessive ferocity due to caution

A dark, cramped room, an empty corner.

The pungent smell of ammonia.

A faint smell of blood could still be detected.

The ghost candle's eerie green light illuminated three furtive figures.

At that moment, a muscular man, soaking wet but still reeking of feces, raised his right hand.

"Ask a question!"

"Why are we using the women's restroom instead of the men's?"

Zhao Yi glanced at him and nodded:

"Good question."

"Don't ask again next time."

Under Wen Long's awkward gaze, Zhao Yi took out a textbook and placed it in front of the two of them.

"This is the clue I obtained in the sixth carriage."

He read those four sentences aloud to the group.

The control room has the latest morning reports and maps.

Diesel fuel is needed to start the train.

Do not go to the driver's seat.

It will keep watching you!

The four short lines of text gave the two of them a strange feeling.

"strangeness……"

Why mention starting a train?

Wen Long frowned.

"Isn't our goal to resolve the grievances on the train?"

"Could this be a trick by the system to deliberately distract us?"

Zhao Yi remained silent.

He spread out the newspaper and lit it with the light of a ghost candle.

The newspaper recorded fourteen days' worth of events in Moye Village.

In July of a certain year, as usual, they carried out a thorough repair on the various facilities at the station and checked the wear and tear on the train parts in preparation for the village children to return to school in Guxuan Town after the holidays. However, before school even started, a terrible disaster occurred!

After a sudden black storm swept through Moye Village, monsters appeared in various parts of the village the next day!

They are cruel and bloodthirsty, bizarre in shape, and always appear with mysterious black mist. They linger in the shadows, and those who are dragged into the black mist will be assimilated into terrifying monsters just like them!

By the time people received the news, the riots had already escalated considerably.

Fortunately, their station still had three trains, which could carry most of the people without cars away from Moye Village and head to Guxuan Town!

The morning paper and the electronic newspaper summoned most of the villagers, who rushed to the station to catch the last train to leave this terrible place!

"There used to be three trains at the station, but now only this one remains."

"This means that two trains have safely arrived in Guxuan Town."

"And this one was involved in an accident."

Wen Long analyzed very seriously.

A completely useless analysis.

Zhao Yi remembered Sun Baibai's situation; clearly, Sun Baibai had also left on this last train!

Although the train successfully escaped from Moye Village, it still encountered an accident in the end!

While everyone was silent, a dark figure drifted into the women's restroom.

The three of them slowly turned their heads to look at her.

She was a cleaning lady.

Of course, it is no longer human.

It seemed a little confused when it saw two grown men in the women's restroom.

Did I go to the wrong place?

One of the burly men, in particular, seemed to have clothes that looked somewhat familiar.

Seems to be……

Suddenly, she paused, startled.

He turned to run, but then heard Zhao Yi laugh behind him:

"Do you see who's sitting next to me?"

"The new security team captain!"

"If you dare run, do you believe he'll beat the shit out of you with that stick?"

Wen Long also raised the police baton in his hand, looking fierce!

His expression, combined with the stench of excrement, was clearly very convincing!

The cleaning lady, with a mournful, rotting face, carefully sat down next to the three people.

For a fleeting moment, Bai Shuiji actually felt sorry for her.

As a human, I was scared by ghosts; now that I'm a ghost, I'm still scared by humans.

"What can I do for you?"

This cleaning lady is at the bottom of the list in terms of the ghosts' fighting power, so she is very timid and dares not offend anyone.

Zhao Yi patted her on the shoulder, and she shuddered.

"It's nothing, don't be so nervous."

"This new security team leader is still unaware of the situation and has a few questions for you... Please answer them carefully."

The cleaner nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

"What exactly happened at this station back then?"

Zhao Yi pointed to the date on the newspaper. The cleaner glanced at it, then shuddered violently, her face shaking wildly from side to side.

"I don't know... I don't know... I don't know..."

"I don't know anything..."

"Don't ask me..."

Seeing this, Wen Long felt that they had touched a key point, so he picked up the police baton in his hand and waved it around for a while, showing a fierce look.

"Not going to tell?"

"Do you want to get beaten to a pulp?"

The cleaning lady gritted her teeth and said:

"You can't even tell if you beat someone until they shit themselves!"

She paused, then whispered:

"It...it's been watching us!"

Upon hearing this, Wenlong and Baishuiji immediately got goosebumps!

They secretly observed each other for a while.

Vanished without a trace.

That's precisely why Wenlong and Baishuiji felt even more terrified!

"Who are you talking about...who's watching us?"

Bai Shuiji swallowed.

The cleaner still shook her head.

Seeing her like this, it was clear she was determined not to speak.

Zhao Yi, who had been deep in thought, looked up and said to the cleaner:

"Auntie, one last question... Where is the diesel storage room?"

Generally, the platform should have a large storage area for diesel fuel, and it should be very close to the tracks, but there is no indication of this on the map.

The cleaner replied:

"The original station had a diesel fuel station, you see, not far ahead, but it was demolished during station renovations for some reason..."

"However, I remember there are a few barrels of diesel fuel in the basement, but the basement manager has a bad temper, so it might be quite troublesome for you to get the diesel fuel from him..."

Zhao nodded, thanked her, and let her leave.

"You're just going to let her go like that?"

Wen Long frowned; he believed this cleaner still had some use.

But Zhao Yi said:

"The basic framework for this mission has been established."

"what?"

The two were completely dumbfounded upon hearing this.

"Wh...what basic line?"

Zhao Yi:

"The resentment inside the train comes from the passengers who died there, and what they want to do... is to leave this place..."

"To resolve their grievances, we need to start the train."

"To start a train, at least three conditions are required—first, the train conductor must be able to operate the locomotive from the cab."

"The second is some diesel fuel."

At this point, Zhao Yi's expression became subtle.

Wen Long, who was listening attentively, hurriedly asked:

"What's the third one? What is the third one?"

Zhao Yi said mysteriously:

"I can't say."

"If you tell it... it will know!"

Upon hearing this, the two felt a sudden chill run down their spines.

"So, really... there's some kind of ghostly thing watching us?"

Zhao nodded, his gaze sharp.

"That's right."

"The good news is... it's not fully awake yet."

"When it wakes up...we'll all be dead!"

P.S.: Thank you all for the gifts!

I'm quite nervous. I just wrote this book randomly, and I didn't expect so many people to follow it. Thank you all for your support. I will definitely try my best to live up to your expectations and make you want to kill me as much as possible.

I'll just add some words here; I'm constipated today and really can't hold it in.

I need to wash my hair and read someone else's book in a bit.

Headache. Whose book should I copy tomorrow?
