Chapter 641 - 641 478 The 6th Station Starry Sky Transfer

Chapter 641: Chapter 478: The 6th Station: “Starry Sky Transfer Station”. _1 Chapter 641: Chapter 478: The 6th Station: “Starry Sky Transfer Station”. _1 The balloon-like head was knocking on the train window with its forehead, all the while uttering low, beguiling whispers…

And within the mist, even more “balloons” appeared one by one.

The old dean, Xiao Chuan…

And Colin even saw his father’s face, which he had only seen in photographs.

Like the others, it floated outside the train window, its forehead pressing against the glass. In the glow of the bonfire, his pale face was unsettling as it stared at him, lips wriggling, calling out:

“Daddy’s here, come over…”

“Didn’t you always ask where daddy was when you were little?”

“Quick, see what daddy has brought you…”

The knocking sounds were continuous, like raindrops, filled with an intangible eeriness.

At the same time, Colin saw that the two employees beside him were somewhat dazed, they seemed to want to look away, but their gazes were magnetically locked on the window, unable to move.

“Looking at this, they should be resisting, and shouldn’t have any issues for a while, but speaking of which, I’ve never seen my family so well-organized in my life…”

Colin watched the faces on the window and, under the protection of the bonfire, wasn’t much affected, his emotions didn’t fluctuate at all.

‘After the “passengers” inside the train are gone, these kinds of things emerge outside the window? No idea what the principle is…’

‘It’s quite eerie… but having been through numerous battles, there’s not much left to fear.’

‘However, after this rule is triggered, there’s bound to be more danger than just this…’

Colin looked at the faces, his mind racing with thoughts.

A rule that’s listed as a separate remark on the mission surely isn’t as simple as just a bunch of heads “shouting” a couple of words and knocking on the glass.

And it was at this moment, within the carriage, that the originally dim yellow light suddenly dimmed, and the whole train began to shake…

At the same time, the faces outside became even spookier.

Some sort of eerie entity seemed to be approaching.

Relying on his intuition, Colin vaguely realized that maybe by blocking the outside world’s prying into the inside,

It would be possible to avoid danger…

Colin took out a large bottle of grease from the “Storage Room,” ignited the flame, and allowed his own flame to envelop the entire train.

Then the flames on his body burned fiercely, emitting a bright light like a small sun for an instant.

“Ah!!!”

Screams resounded one after another.

All the faces on the “balloons” heads outside melted and twisted like wax candles under the flame, emitting sharp screams, and eventually exploded with a “pop.”

Various gazes thrown from the mist all disappeared.

The dim yellow light inside the carriage slowly regained its brightness, and the swaying sensation settled at this moment.

Obviously, even abnormalities couldn’t easily withstand the power of the bonfire!

“Fish Pond Master” shook his head vigorously, finally withdrawing his gaze, muttered cursing under his breath, “Damn, almost got taken in!”

Just after hearing someone calling him, his neck had snapped towards the window on its own accord, then he saw many reluctant faces, like friends and family, and others who had made a significant impression…

Although he came to his senses, it seemed to be a bit too late, as he was constantly pulling in a tug-of-war with the other party.

The Orange Cat beside him was slightly better off, but only by a little and couldn’t pay attention to much else.

It wasn’t until Brother Shunzi’s flames exploded outwards, completely covering the entire carriage with no blind spots, and “melting” all lines of sight, that they truly recovered.

“What’s going on now?”

The Orange Cat said anxiously, and took another look at the flames around, feeling as if they were in a crucible.

“It seems to be the consequence of violating the ‘rules’…”

Colin, while maintaining the flame’s envelope, said, “But things should be alright now.”

As he suspected, the key to stabilizing the carriage was to block the “gaze” from outside.

As long as the Firebearer’s flames continue to burn, there won’t be a big problem.

“I hope we get to the next stop soon, otherwise burning at such a high output for over ten hours will be a bit too much for me to handle.”

“But looking at it this way, did the original ‘passengers’ also serve to block the gaze?”

Colin’s thoughts shifted as he realized that the “passenger,” while being one of the crises within the train, also played a key role in its stability.

It’s just not known what is so special about it that it can actually block the line of sight.

‘Normally, when looking at these spectral figures, there doesn’t seem to be anything special. I didn’t expect them to have such an important function.’

Colin suddenly felt a bit of a shudder.

Because usually when riding the train, he would occasionally gaze curiously at the things, trying to figure out just what the heck they were.

He truly hadn’t expected that such behavior was as dangerous as playing with fire next to a gas canister.

But on the other hand, an anomaly that could prevent “peeping,” with a significant essence, was rendered seemingly harmless in the carriage as long as one didn’t touch it…

“Did you just see someone you recognize, like family members?” Colin asked the two about what they’d seen.

Then he quickly learned that, just like himself, they had witnessed the “family bucket”—both the dead and the living, anyone with a lasting impression, poking their heads out of the mist.

However, they didn’t dwell on this topic for too long.

Orange Cat spoke up, “Speaking of which, what’s with that ‘branch company’ woman? Are we… going to run into them directly next?”

“That person, I felt something off about her before I got on, and sure enough, there was a problem!” Fish Pond Master cursed under his breath.

“Let’s take it one step at a time; right now, we know absolutely nothing about the next station.”

Colin shook his head. With so little information, it was hard to make any sufficiently effective judgments.

Hearing his words, the two D Level employees could only sigh with worry.

Afterwards, Colin, whose flame had been maintained for nearly eight hours and was somewhat worn out, once again sensed that the train was slowing down…

The sixth station was about to arrive!

Soon, as the grey mist outside gradually cleared, a dimly colored scene appeared before everyone’s eyes.

Then, everyone was slightly taken aback.

They saw, beyond the window, a world with a deep black backdrop dotted with countless stars, and the area where the train was about to stop was on a desolate, dilapidated giant metal platform of a small asteroid.

It looked like a science fiction-themed space transportation hub.

And around the platform, they could also see a ring encircling the entire celestial body…

‘It does resemble a junior version of “Starship”…’

Upon seeing its general shape, Colin immediately recalled the starship from which they had recovered “Time Reversal.”

“Looking outside, Fish Pond Master spoke with some emotion, “I heard that after the fifth station, we might leave Earth directly. I thought people were just spouting nonsense, but it turns out to be true…”

Counting the previous aid they gave to Brother Shunzi, this was the first time he and Orange Cat had come to such a distant place, their eyes filled with a sense of novelty.

‘D Level employees from the company before have by now probably explored countless extraterrestrial worlds and participated in numerous incidents. Their level is indeed quite surpassed…’ Colin glanced at the two, who looked inexperienced, and couldn’t help but think.

At that moment, the train doors opened, and Colin, peering through the doors, looked out at the silent exterior—

He found it strange. Did the “Mist Train” stop because this was a station, or because there was an anomaly that caused them to stop the train?

‘It seems there’s nothing threatening, so it’s because it’s a station? But anyhow, once the train stops, I need to gather the flame first; otherwise, the ‘passengers’ won’t come over… Huh?’

Just as Colin was pondering this, he suddenly saw, with a focused gaze, a “plop” on the glass of a nearby window.

A blood handprint was slapped onto it.

However, outside, there was clearly no one to be seen!

But before he could think more, one blood handprint after another appeared, seemingly moving toward the train door.

“Are they… getting on?”

Colin’s brow furrowed. If it was an anomaly, it would be the first time he’d seen one trying to board the train. He immediately prepared for any possible charge.

Golden Card in his left hand, revolver in his right, ready for any potential threat.

Under the gaze of the three, it was almost fifteen seconds later when a pair of bloodied figures walked in from outside.

The strong smell of blood pervaded and hit them head-on…

Then, before Colin could act, they heard a “thump.”

Both figures collapsed to the ground, and blood from beneath them quickly spread across the floor…
