Chapter 570: Chapter 278: The First Wave of Death!_1

When Lin Baici heard what Eater God said, his eyebrows shot up. No way, does it mean certain death if you board without a ticket?

Um!

That comment from Eater God must be specific, not general, right?

Lin Baici flipped the ticket over and over, checking it. It was fine.

The man in the hat was cunning, sidling up to another man. Although Lin Baici couldn’t hear what they were saying, their expressions suggested the guy probably wanted to buy a ticket to Hanyang.

Right!

There’s that option, but who knows if it would work!

"Those without tickets are done for."

Quan Sangin murmured, seemingly sharing information proactively to ease tension with Lin Baici, but actually, this intel was utterly useless.

Because in a little while, these people were going to die.

The man in the hat approached five individuals, even trading taboo things, but still couldn’t secure a ticket. There was no helping it, since no one could be sure what would happen next.

The train had only been running for ten minutes, but the man in the hat was drenched in sweat, as if he’d been fished out of the water.

At his wit’s end, he came up to Lin Baici.

"Boss, do you have an extra ticket? One to Hanyang, I’ll trade a taboo thing for it!"

The man in the hat was earnest, placing a dagger on the table to show his sincerity: "Wood carvings made with it come to life, turning into puppets to aid their master in battle."

Kim Jinsoo and the others’ faces lit up with heavy interest, seeing the item as a boost to their combat abilities. It was very tempting.

"No!"

Lin Baici glanced at the dagger.

[A man who knows how to weigh the situation, but sadly, lacking a bit of luck!]

[A very formidable dagger, don’t touch it, touch it and you die!]

The man in the hat felt dejected upon hearing this, turning his head to Quan Sangin: "Give me a ticket to Hanyang and the dagger is yours!"

It was apparent to the man in the hat that among Quan Sangin’s team, power was centralized; whatever the matter, Quan Sangin had the final say.

Of course, Lin Baici’s team was led by the Nine States man, and he certainly wouldn’t let a friend give up their ticket for a taboo thing.

Quan Sangin hesitated.

Seeing this, the man in the hat continued to press, persuading more vigorously: "This dagger has saved my life several times, you could totally take a gamble!"

The man in the hat’s implication was that Quan Sangin could gamble with someone else’s life. Even if the person without a ticket died, it wouldn’t be Quan Sangin himself who perished.

Quan Sangin was tempted, his glance sweeping over the faces of Choi Sunsil and the others: "Who’s willing to take a bet?"

"Damn it!"

Hua Yue Yu couldn’t help cursing. Quan Sangin was too ruthless, wasn’t he?

"What’s going on?"

Xia Hongyao didn’t understand.

"If any team member gets the dagger, it would be a boon for the team. But if they ended up dead, wouldn’t the leader keep the dagger as a memento?"

Gu Qingqiu shook her head. What a ruthless guy! Lin Baici was much better, carrying so many burdens without a single complaint. He also never thought about tricking them, sharing Divine Grace and taboo things with others when he got them.

It was no wonder these women were steadfastly loyal to him, a man who was handsome and generous.

Choi Sunsil and the others were torn, wanting the dagger without wanting to pay the price. Just at that moment, someone inside the carriage was struck by an invisible high-speed train, suddenly flying out with a bang, their body turning into a bloody mess.

Whoosh!

Blood and pieces of flesh were splattered everywhere.

The crowd was stunned, still not processing what had happened, when another God Hunter exploded.

"It’s... it’s over!"

The man in the hat, observant, had noticed that both victims had been without tickets. Grinding his teeth, he suddenly lunged at Kim Jinsoo, attempting to snatch the ticket in her hand.

As for the consequences, he couldn’t afford to consider them. Survival was his first priority.

Indeed, Gu Qingqiu and Hua Yue Yu seemed more vulnerable, but the man in the hat didn’t dare to rob them because he was certain he couldn’t beat Lin Baici.

Moreover, he figured that if he got the ticket, he could offer the dagger to Lin Baici in exchange for protection, and Quan Sangin likely wouldn’t dare to confront him.

Unfortunately, while the man in the hat had a good plan, reality was brutally harsh.

Just as his Divine Grace activated, a tentacle of an octopus appeared out of nowhere, entwining Kim Jinsoo. The man in the hat was then hit by an invisible force, as if struck by a train, and sent flying.

Bang!

The man in the hat shattered into pieces, his blood splattering outwards in a radial spray.

"Damn it!"

Lin Baici raised his hand, shielding his cheek, but his body was still splattered with a lot, the thick scent of blood immediately dispersing.

"Grab the dagger!"

Gu Qingqiu shouted loudly.

Xia Hongyao was initially dodging the flesh and blood, but upon hearing Gu Qingqiu’s shout, she immediately reached out. However, Quan Sangin, Choi Sunsil, and a Goryeo man with a flat nose and round face moved even faster.

"Huh?"

As Quan Sangin was about to grab it, he noticed that Lin Baici hadn’t moved, which startled him for a moment!

Why isn’t this kid grabbing for it?

With the intelligence he had shown, he should have this awareness, which means he must suspect something wrong with the dagger?

With this thought, Quan Sangin’s actions slowed down, but he didn’t warn his companions. After all, someone had to give it a try.

Snap!

Lin Baici quickly reached out and grabbed Xia Hongyao’s wrist as she reached for the dagger.

"Eh?"

Xia Hongyao was taken aback. She had been the third to make a move, and her actions were the quickest. If not for Lin Baici’s interruption, she could have gotten the dagger.

"Got it!"

The man with the flat nose got hold of the dagger, but just as he was about to rejoice, he noticed Lin Baici’s action, and a surge of fear shot through his heart.

"Is there... is there a problem?"

The man with the flat nose asked subconsciously.

Although they wouldn’t admit it out loud, Lin Baici’s excellence had earned the recognition of people like Quan Sangin, who were paying close attention to his every move.

"I don’t know!"

Lin Baici shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly.

"That scared me to death!"

The man with the flat nose laughed dryly, just as he was about to admire the dagger, his right hand that was holding it suddenly turned to wood.

"Ah?"

The man with the flat nose was shocked.

"Throw it away quickly!"

Quan Sangin shouted, but it was too late; the man with the flat nose could no longer move his right hand, which was rapidly turning woody and spreading towards his entire body.

"Xiba!"

Quan Sangin panicked and drew his knife, chopping it at the shoulder of the flat-nosed man.

Snap!

A right arm fell to the ground.

"Ah!"

The man with the flat nose screamed in pain, but no one paid him any attention as people kept dying in the carriage, blood and flesh flying everywhere.

This was the fate of those without a ticket: they would be killed by an invisible force, their deaths resembling those hit by a high-speed train, leaving no remains.

"Why didn’t you say there was something wrong with the dagger?"

Quan Sangin yelled at Lin Baici.

Xiba, and here we haven’t even started exploring the God’s ruins, and Li Zaicheng has already lost an arm, a non-combat reduction.

"Captain!"

The flat-nosed Li Zaicheng didn’t blame Quan Sangin; if the captain hadn’t acted, his whole body would certainly have turned into a wooden statue.

Hiss!

Xia Hongyao gasped in fear, that was close. If not for Little Lin, she would have been the one ensnared.

As the last of those without a ticket died, the entire carriage fell silent. They hadn’t even reached Hanyang station yet, and so many had died, which only intensified everyone’s concerns about the upcoming Taboo game.
