Chapter 378: Chapter 370: Descending Upon the Actual Area of the “Ghost Train”_1 Chapter 378: Chapter 370: Descending Upon the Actual Area of the “Ghost Train”_1 ‘This time, the train did not move again, yet the car door still emerged; it felt like it came on its own?’

Colin was fully focused on what lay ahead, not daring to let his guard down.

Behind the mist gate leading to the eighth train car, the dim yellow light remained, and one could faintly hear some subtle noises…

It was like someone was whispering or like the madness-inducing murmurs of a bizzare dream.

Next to Colin, ‘Son of Cruelty’ and others watched in that direction, their bodies stiffening, not even daring to take a deep breath for fear of startling something.

This time, compared to the previous train cars, there was an inexplicable sense of eeriness behind the eighth car.

‘I always feel that whatever is on the other side is in some kind of twisted state…’

Colin narrowed his eyes; the door he could see looked relatively normal.

But in his mind, that mist gate appeared to be writhing.

And those voices, if one listened carefully, weren’t normal human speech at all; they were a bunch of chaotic, bizarre screams. Listening too much, even Colin would begin to feel his mind uneasy.

He also genuinely felt an indescribable sense of palpitations…

Clearly, the entity behind the eighth car since its inception could have unpredictable changes.

However, the one thing worth being thankful for right now was.

Ten minutes passed, and those D Level personnel had not breached this side.

‘Logically speaking, they should have noticed something in no more than five minutes, but this time, it seems that this hasn’t happened.’

As Colin analyzed the situation in his mind, he remained vigilant of the mist gate.

Then, several more minutes slowly passed, and when thirty minutes arrived.

The continuous whispers suddenly ceased…

Shortly afterward, the sound of a glass shattering on the floor startled everyone present with a ‘thump’ in their hearts.

All eyes turned again towards the mist gate of the eighth car.

This time, some inhuman growls rose one after another from that side, making the whole mist gate look even more distorted.

In the brain, it seemed like a vortex…

And from this vortex, there was a kind of indescribable and barely perceptible breath slowly seeping out.

However, under the light of the ‘Flame Bearer’s’ flame, all those unseen things evaporated.

‘Tch, if we go in now, we might really experience, the true horror of D Level staff losing control,’

Colin pursed his lips, having some guesses about what was behind him.

Currently, when the D Level personnel on the train went insane, they were merely showing pure madness without any other strange qualities. Likely, this was because the company had removed these dangerous elements when creating the ‘copy.’

But after the eighth car, things didn’t seem quite right.

For the first time, Colin sensed a definite ‘corruption.’

If they went inside, the chances were high that the D Level staff they encountered wouldn’t just be in a ‘weakened by three percent after turning evil’ type of state.

However, feeling certain breaths evaporate under the light of the flame, Colin also felt somewhat relieved.

This showed that his flames could indeed dispel these entities.

Fortunately, after another fifteen minutes passed, even though the mist gate seemed more and more distorted, Colin was fairly confident that the abnormal staff of the eighth car wouldn’t come over…

At that moment, seeing ‘Son of Cruelty’ next to him with a horrified expression, Colin thought for a moment and comforted in a low voice amid the bonfire:

‘If nothing unexpected happens, as long as we stand still here, they won’t come over.’

Hearing Colin’s words, several people nodded at the sight of the flame, feeling somewhat reassured.

They were not as experienced as Brother Shunzi; after feeling the bizarre and heart-pounding breath beyond the mist gate, they had the sensation of standing on the edge of a cliff or looking down from the top of a high-rise building…

That throbbing made them especially uneasy, and what was more unnerving was this inexplicable urge to ‘jump off’ the building kept brewing inside them.

Thankfully, with the bonfire burning beside them, they were able to suppress that thought.

And in Brother Shunzi’s experience, since he said it was okay, it should be okay…

But no sooner had their hanging hearts settled than they suddenly saw Brother Shunzi’s face change slightly.

At the same time, before they could ask what was wrong, they heard terrifying, inhuman shrieks coming from behind the mist gate.

Accompanied by a great deal of disordered footsteps, all the out-of-control staff in the eighth car stirred.

‘What’s happening?’

Colin subconsciously clenched the Time Stop Gold Card in his left hand, drew out Bone Spur from his pocket with his right hand, and the flame at the back of his head flared.

However, the scene of a multitude of aberrant staff rushing out of the mist gate didn’t happen.

Instead, the sound of combat came from within the eighth car.

‘Clang clang clang!’

In the sound of some heavy metal weapon colliding with the surroundings, a series of dreadful vibrations ensued.

‘Hiss, what’s invaded the eighth car?’

Colin suddenly stood up, his heart heavy, feeling the power of the entity clashing with the aberrant staff, and it was very strong…

The entire eighth car sounded like it was about to fall apart at any moment.

The fight didn’t last long, only about three minutes, after which it seemed everything had settled.

From the somewhat unsteady footsteps that could be heard…

The victor seemed to be the one who had just invaded the train car.

And…

After dealing with the out-of-control staff, it was walking towards the mist gate of the seventh car.
