Chapter 463: Chapter 463: Happy to Death

Weiwei looked at him intently for a few seconds before her smile returned, "Uncle, you’re really funny."

Then she ran off, her dress billowing behind her.

It was only then that Xu Huo allowed a hint of a smile to show, turning to see Weiwei’s parents looking at him as he casually raised his teacup in a saluting gesture.

The couple also had smiles on their faces, but they did not respond to him.

At this moment, Dr. Deng said with some concern, "Best not to stir up trouble."

Those who could board the train were certainly not ordinary people; the fact that the little girl could run around unattended without her parents worrying indicated deep confidence. With both her parents and the girl present, didn’t he fear being attacked for speaking like that?

Xu Huo, however, didn’t seem to care and simply said, "It was just a joke."

Dr. Deng glanced at the little girl who had seated herself next to her parents but was still staring in their direction. He quickly averted his gaze and said in a lowered voice, "Too bad the others don’t think it’s a joke."

The night quickly arrived.

The first-class seats could be reclined flat for resting, and Xu Huo lay down early to rest with eyes closed, only to sit up after the lights were turned off.

The other passengers in the carriage were also not asleep, everyone sitting in their original positions.

Before long, the sounds of a distant scuffle came from behind, far back in the last few carriages. The commotion in the rear caused some restlessness in the other carriages as well, with sounds of collisions and doors opening heard from the second carriage next to the first-class.

In the dark, footsteps moved to the rear door of the first-class section, lingering for a moment before attempting to slide the door open. After failing to open it, the person outside stood still for a few seconds before walking away.

No more sounds came from behind the door after that, and the doors of the rear carriages also closed.

The fighting at the tail of the train didn’t last too long either; it quieted down after merely a dozen minutes, and subsequently, the train fell into a prolonged silence.

In the darkness, Xu Huo looked towards the other players in the same carriage. During the recent turn of events, not one of these players had any change in their breathing rhythms. Their demeanor suggested they were neither worried about other players attacking nor seemed belligerent or combative.

On the contrary, it was Dr. Deng whose heartbeat was more audible than his breathing.

However, that state didn’t last for long; within a few minutes, his breathing became deep and steady.

Xu Huo frowned, stood up, and went over to pat his face. The man didn’t wake up, but suddenly a dark insect flew out of his nostril, and Xu Huo reflexively smacked the insect away—"Puchi!"

The insect that splattered against the carriage wall emitted a strange smell, and he immediately donned his protective mask, but at that moment, Dr. Deng burst into laughter.

Dr. Deng wasn’t sleeping—but had fallen into a brief unconsciousness involuntarily, and now he woke up, though he couldn’t control his own expression and started laughing. It began with light chuckles that grew louder and louder until he couldn’t lie still any longer. Curled up, holding his stomach and laughing while tearing up, he stuttered, "I... Save me..."

Xu Huo knew he had fallen under an enchantment, and quickly turned back to look at the little girl named Weiwei. But the passengers who had been sitting there just moments ago, now appeared to him as colorful clowns, each with grotesque, twisted smiles, shaking their heads at him.

Suppressing his unnaturally curled lips, Xu Huo smashed a bottle of "something that bewitches one’s soul" onto the floor. The foul smell rapidly overpowered the faint, odd scent in the air. Two "clowns" heaved a gagging sound and then lunged toward him!

Xu Huo used the item "Two-Part Magic" to restrict the two individuals in place, then threw out kite string attempting to hang one of them up. However, the clowns, which appeared bifurcated in his vision, seemed unaffected by the item and swiftly retreated back to their original positions, resuming their previous seated postures.

The "clowns" still looked like clowns, which meant Xu Huo had not fully escaped the hallucination. He turned back to knock Dr. Deng unconscious, then took out a flashlight.

The lights hadn’t come on, but the frantically twisting "clown" across from him stopped, and then Dr. Deng, who had already passed out, suddenly opened his eyes again and burst into laughter!

Knocking him out was useless.

Xu Huo glanced at Dr. Deng sprawled on the floor and directly turned on the overhead light aimed at the clown across from him.

In complete darkness, the sudden light was particularly glaring, and it seemed to dispel the hallucination, at least in the area where the light reached, the "clown" disappeared. But the next second, he felt something rapidly flying towards him, aimed at both the overhead light and his throat.

Accompanied by a "ding ding" sound, the darts aimed at his throat were blocked by "Moving Metal," while the overhead light was, of course, smashed. However, this fleeting moment still alarmed whatever was outside the train, and within two short seconds, heavy weights continuously slammed into the carriage’s exterior!

"Boom, boom, boom!" Aliens beat against the glass windows like a storm, and the high-speed train began to shake. Since the lights in the first-class section had only flashed once, the swarming aliens were not breaking through the windows, but they still managed to create fine cracks on the sturdy glass.

The players inside the carriage looked slightly alarmed, as among the group of aliens, there were clearly a few with notably larger heads and different features from the others. The cracks in the glass window were because of them!

Xu Huo glanced at the cracks and then held the second overhead light in his hand, "We won’t be so lucky next time."

The glaring threat suggested he dared to turn on the light once, so of course, he would dare to do it a second time.

None of the players made a move, just staring at Xu Huo in the darkness, indiscernible who had acted. But following that, Dr. Deng stopped his hysterical laughter.

Xu Huo kicked him with his foot, "Can you get up?"

Dr. Deng couldn’t get up, speaking through his tears and snot, "I almost... laughed myself to death..."

Being able to speak properly meant he was fine.

Xu Huo calmly sat down and set the overhead light on the table.

Struggling, Dr. Deng crawled to the edge of the table, caressing and holding on to the overhead light, even he was afraid Xu Huo would recklessly turn on the light again.

"If you like it, take it, I have plenty more," Xu Huo said.

Dr. Deng stopped his tears, "What are you preparing so many lights for?"

"Afraid of the dark." A quite legitimate reason.

Dr. Deng had no response and could only nervously say, "Let’s all stay calm and safely finish this train ride."

"Uncle, aren’t you afraid of aliens?" Weiwei asked in the dark.

"Of course, I am afraid," Xu Huo turned his head towards her with a friendly smile, "but when I think about having so many people with me... It’s not a bad deal."

"So uncle really is sick," Weiwei said emotionlessly.

A few more minutes of silence passed, and then Weiwei’s parents got up, opened the carriage door, and walked out. A few seconds later, bursts of laughter came from the next carriage. Even under the intense fighting, the laughter didn’t cease until the number of people dwindled and the sound gradually faded.

Half an hour later, the players from the opposite carriage were either dead or had fled, and the couple didn’t head to the transition carriage but instead returned to the first-class section.
