Chapter 392 The Train that Never Arrives (30)
07 carriage.
"Zhou Ran, take this medicine." The mage took out a medicine and handed it to Zhou Ran: "It will help your body recover faster."
"Thanks."
Zhou Ran took it without any suspicion and stuffed it directly into his mouth.
"No, it was my lack of thinking that made you hurt before." The mage smiled, "Then you take a rest first, and I'll go see the others."
"……good."
The mage left the carriage, and Zhou Ran sat alone in the seat. After taking the medicine given by the mage, she felt that her body seemed to feel better.
"Hello, can you do me a favor?"
A pleasant voice rang in Zhou Ran's ears. When she looked up, she saw a mermaid monster walking towards her.
The mermaid looked strange, and there seemed to be flesh and blood left on the sharp teeth. The fishy smell that belonged to fish spread at the tip of Zhou Ran's nose.
——If a mermaid takes the initiative to talk to you, please praise her.
——Don’t refuse the mermaid’s request.
Zhou Ran really couldn't say anything praising to such a mermaid.
"What...what's the business?"
The mermaid took out a white bead the size of a fist and asked with a smile: "Can you open this for me?"
Zhou Ran felt that the material of the bead was a bit like a pearl.
But that bead seems to fit perfectly, how can it be opened?
"May I?"
Zhou Ran's heart skipped a beat, and she wanted to refuse, but when she met the mermaid's gaze, her throat tightened.
There was a strange expectation in the mermaid's eyes, as if she was waiting for her to refuse...
Being stared at by the mermaid, Zhou Ran's scalp went numb and she subconsciously looked toward the carriage door, but unfortunately she didn't see anyone.
"Aren't you willing to do me this favor?" The mermaid's voice was no longer as pleasant as before. It was sinister and cold. It scraped over Zhou Ran's head and aroused goosebumps all over her body.
——Don’t refuse the mermaid’s request.
This sentence kept echoing in Zhou Ran's mind.
Zhou Ran took the bead with trembling hands. It was heavier than she expected, and she almost lost her grip.
After getting it in his hand, Zhou Ran made sure that the bead had no gaps that could be opened and that it was a solid bead.
Zhou Ran exhaled and asked the merman: "Is it right, just open it?"
"Yes."
Zhou Ran confirmed again: "No matter what method I use?"
"Yes."
Zhou Ran put the beads on his lap and took out a silk thread from the prop.
[Spider silk: Spider King's spider silk is soft and tough. In addition to being used to tie people, it can also cut through hard objects. 】
[Use restrictions: Cutting is limited to items]
[Number of uses: Each copy can be used once]
The thread was so thin that after she straightened it, it was almost invisible.
Zhou Ran held the silk thread hard and pulled out a blood line. The bright red blood was quickly absorbed by the silk thread and turned into a transparent color.
Zhou Ran tightened the thread again and started cutting the beads.
A minute later, Zhou Ran nervously handed the bead divided into two halves to the merman, "Open it."
The mermaid happily accepted it, and her voice returned to its sweetness: "Thank you, you are really a beautiful person with a kind heart."
"..."
Escaped.
Zhou Ran waited for the mermaid to leave, but he held the beads without moving and looked at her with a faint look: "Don't you have anything to say to me?"
"..." Zhou Ran was stared at by the terrifying mermaid. His bones were cold and his hair stood on end. His brain seemed to be frozen. He squeezed out a few words with a trembling voice: "You are so beautiful..."
As soon as Zhou Ran finished speaking, the mermaid walked away happily.
never mind?
Just praise him...?
Is this rule correct?
Zhou's back was covered in cold sweat, and she breathed a heavy sigh of relief. However, before she could even breathe, her eyes quickly glanced at the door. The conductor stood there at some point, looking at her strangely.
"!!!"
In a flash, a rule flashed through my mind.
[The conductor hates liars. 】
A strange smile appeared on the conductor's pale face, and Zhou Ran watched him striding towards her...
…
…
06 carriage.
The mage was talking to Maizi and learned about what happened in Car 06 just now and the situation where the train conductor could not be killed.
At this moment, the two heard a scream from the side of Car 07.
Maizi said subconsciously: "It's Zhou Ran's voice..."
The mage immediately ran to Car 07.
07 In the carriage, Zhou Ran's body fell in the aisle, his head exploded, and fine pieces of blood and flesh splattered everywhere.
[Please do not enter the restroom when the train is running at night]
A bloody death rule is displayed on the ground.
Maizi: "This is the train conductor's method... What did Zhou Ran do?"
The conductor only appears during ticket checking and not at all other times.
Ticket checking is over.
Why did the train conductor show up to kill Zhou Ran?
Zhou Ran's scream was so loud that people in other carriages also heard it and rushed over.
"What happened?" Yue Ping and Hu Jia were the second batch of players to arrive. "...Why did Zhou Ran die?"
Master: "I don't know, I was in compartment 06 just now."
Yue Ping and Hu Jia saw Zhou Ran's death clearly and shot his head... This was the train conductor's technique.
Hu Jiagang had just spoken to the mermaid, and he quickly realized the reason: "It's a lie. The first rule of the mermaid station is correct. You must praise the mermaid, but you can't lie."
Mermaids have beautiful tails. You can praise their tails, but you can't say they are beautiful.
Because mermaids really don’t look that good.
Zhou Ran may have forgotten the rule in the bus instructions...or maybe she didn't react and was stared at by the weird mermaid and blurted out praises, which killed her.
…
…
The news of Zhou Ran's death soon reached the car in front. The hair-haired monster was lying on the car door listening to the corner, and after hearing it, he shared it with Yinsu.
They have figured out the reason why the train conductor killed Zhou Ran. Next, as long as they are careful about the words they use when praising the mermaid, they will not activate the conductor's massacre again.
Mermaids can seek help from players in various ways, some are easy and some are difficult.
After completing the request, you will only get a thank you from the mermaid.
If the request is not completed, the mermaid will take away one of the player's organs.
So far, except for Yinsu and the black-robed girl, all other players have missing organs.
Five hours passed quickly and the train arrived at the 'Four Seasons Mountain Station'.
This platform is a swarm of bugs, both soft-bodied and crustacean, with human-like sizes that would scare anyone with an entomophobia to death.
This platform is also very dangerous. The ground is wet and sticky. People will stick to it if they step on it, and then all kinds of bugs will attack you.
Let’s not talk about whether the attack power is strong or not, but their attack ‘weapons’ are really disgusting.
[Instructions for Passengers]
1. Please do not touch non-passengers.
2. Please remember who you are.
3. The conductor hates orange items, so don’t let the conductor find out that you are carrying orange items.
4. Passengers at ‘Four Seasons Mountain Station’ have a docile personality. If you find that a passenger is emotionally unstable, please kill him or her.
