Chapter 524: Chapter 490: The Demon Skilled at Disguise

She’s the source?

Jiang Xiao’s abrupt comment silenced everyone, including the little girl.

"Jiang Xiao, although... okay, I admit she’s a bit strange, but you’re being rather rash."

Naizi’s face flushed as she tugged at Jiang Xiao’s sleeve and whispered.

"Little brother, erm, you say she’s the source of the weirdness, any evidence for that?"

Scar-faced felt a bit embarrassed to look into the little girl’s innocent eyes.

What can I say...

Although she’s very strange, to label her as the source of the weirdness seems a bit too far-fetched.

"No evidence, purely my sixth sense as a man! She’s been in the car all along, yet no one has noticed her, that in itself is exceedingly weird!"

"I didn’t, I’m not, don’t talk nonsense!"

The little girl’s face turned red as she vehemently denied it three times in a row.

Jiang Xiao glanced sideways at Xiaoqi, looking utterly convinced.

"Let it be, Jiang Xiao, weren’t you going to check out the shadows? Let’s head over there first."

In the end, it was Ling Zi’s words that broke the awkward silence at the scene.

However, at Jiang Xiao’s strong insistence, Xiaoqi was also forcibly taken along.

According to Jiang Xiao, if she really was the source, it was crucial to eliminate her immediately and not give her the chance to escape.

This remark made the little girl bare her teeth at him.

Finally, the group returned to the same weird carriage where Jiang Xiao said the shadows could be seen.

The atmosphere inside the carriage became oppressive, and everyone braced for the unknown.

Jiang Xiao stared intently at every corner of the carriage; he wasn’t about to let his guard down.

Honestly, he feared the situation getting out of control...

While they waited, Scar-faced, the assistant driver, bustled about calming passengers and guiding them to other carriages.

Although his methods were rough, the passengers complied for the sake of safety.

"Don’t worry, everything will get better."

Scar-faced comforted the crowd while occasionally glancing back at Jiang Xiao and his group with a hint of concern in his eyes.

Seeing this, Jiang Xiao couldn’t help feeling a bit emotional.

This assistant driver, who clearly intended to sacrifice these passengers as "offerings" in the near future.

Yet, evacuating passengers now, he looked just like any other dedicated train driver...

"Humans are indeed complex creatures~"

The train continued to race along the tracks, the scenery outside fleeting like water.

But time within the carriage seemed to stand still, as everyone’s heartbeat waited for the moment they entered the tunnel.

"Is this really going to work? Is it possible that the shadows you saw could move?"

Naizi asked Jiang Xiao in a low voice, her face showing unease.

Jiang Xiao didn’t answer, just nodded.

He knew that those two shadows were now completely entangled by the weirdness, trapped, unable to go anywhere.

Finally, the rumble of the train grew heavier and darkness rapidly approached. The train was about to enter the tunnel.

"Are you ready?" Jiang Xiao asked in a low voice.

The others nodded, even Xiaoqi, who was more serious than ever.

As the train entered, the lights in the carriage dimmed suddenly, and darkness enveloped them.

Everyone’s heartbeat accelerated at that moment, almost audible to each other.

The tense atmosphere spread throughout the carriage, everyone held their breath, waiting for the appearance of those two weird shadows Jiang Xiao had mentioned.

Seeing the others with their eyes closed, Jiang Xiao couldn’t help but find it amusing.

Their eyes all closed, and even if there truly was something, how could you see it?

Every time the train roared into the tunnel, Naiko and the others would close their eyes.

Over time, closing their eyes after entering the tunnel had become almost an instinctive response for them.

Yes.

Time seemed to stand still at that moment; the train shuttled through the tunnel, yet the carriage was eerily quiet.

Each person was preparing in their own way, some closing their eyes in prayer, others clenching their fists ready to fight.

"They will definitely appear."

Jiang Xiao muttered to himself, and though his voice was low, it was exceptionally clear in the silent carriage.

Sure enough, the moment his words ended,

Jiang Xiao’s body involuntarily shivered from the cold.

Here they come!

Two blurry figures floated in front of the group, not far away, in a position akin to hanging.

A very sinister force surrounding them was trying to invade their bodies completely.

Aside from Jiang Xiao, the rest of the driver’s assistant’s bodies were extremely tense.

Yes, they simply couldn’t resist this force.

Ling Zi’s complexion gradually became pale, and the cold sweat on her forehead started to drip uncontrollably.

"Daddy... Mommy..."

A small murmuring voice came from behind Jiang Xiao.

Hm?

Jiang Xiao turned around.

He saw little Qi staring with her big watery eyes, unblinkingly fixed on the two figures in front.

She could actually open her eyes!

Not only could she open her eyes, but she also seemed to be in very good condition, not affected at all.

"Are they your daddy and mommy?"

Jiang Xiao felt as if he had opened a door to a new world. What was the saying about searching high and low to no avail, only to find what you’re looking for easily?

When everyone was baffled by the two figures, who would have thought that the daughters of these figures were right beside them?

"Yes, it’s Daddy! It must be Mommy and Daddy!"

The little girl got excited, trying to shake off Sanyou Youcai, who had been holding her, wanting to rush towards the two figures.

Even though the features of the figures were unclear, or perhaps, their features had long since disappeared, even though their bodies were twisted and vague.

But little Qi was certain—they were definitely her parents!

’Snap—’

Jiang Xiao grabbed little Qi, preventing her from running toward the figures.

"What’s the rush? They aren’t going anywhere~"

The mouth of the little Qi, who was caught, twitched involuntarily, but she didn’t resist and immediately calmed down when Jiang Xiao held her.

[There’s definitely something wrong with this kid!]

The chat room had already started a heated discussion.

[No kidding, she took down Bearded Bro effortlessly before.]

[But there’s something I don’t understand, why is she acting as docile as a little lamb now?]

[Yes, the little Qi now is completely different from when she killed Bearded Bro and when she was with Sanyou Youcai, it’s like she’s two different people.]

[Don’t forget, this little Qi is not inherently bad by nature, so is it possible that she looks so obedient now because she’s scared?]

[Scared?]Someone questioned, puzzled.

[Don’t forget, when Jiang Xiao just slammed Ling Zi, the power that erupted covered the whole train, could this little Qi... not feel it?]

[Damn! So, is she pretending to be innocent now, planning to stab Jiang Xiao in the back at a critical moment?]
