Blood Shadow Terror
Clank— Clank— Clank—
A bone-chilling cold wind swept across the desolate earth. The gray sky obscured the daylight. On the pitch-black shattered earth, a blinding beam of light sped over from the distance along the railway tracks.
That was a train speeding in the Gray World. Densely packed Curse Runes coiled on the surface of the train and the railway tracks, emitting a faint light. With its roaring passage, flying sand and stones danced and swept along both sides of the railway tracks.
At this time, in a certain carriage of the train, a youth wearing small Round Sunglasses lazily yawned.
There didn't seem to be many passengers in this Realm train. Ever since the incident at Wuji Domain spread out, people in other Realms had felt the turbulent situation. Those who could travel across Realms at this critical juncture were basically either people with urgent matters to attend to or those unafraid of death.
"Hello Mister, is this your luggage?" A figure passing by the empty carriage pointed at an Awakened Lion Head-dress on the seat beside him and asked.
"Yes, what's the matter?"
"We will be arriving at the station soon, and will start decelerating ahead... For safety, please fasten the seatbelt for it too, to prevent it from rolling out."
While speaking, the youth revealed a brilliant smile, then pulled out the seatbelt from the empty seat beside him and strapped the Awakened Lion Head-dress onto the seat.
Clank—
The train merged from one track to another, speeding straight towards the end of the horizon.
After the Train Stewardess walked far away, the youth turned his head back again to look out the window.
Suddenly,
He seemed to have seen something, couldn't help rubbing his eyes, and muttered:
"Strange thing... Did my eyes blur? Why are there two people over there??"
Looking out through the train's glass, he saw that not far from the track, a figure could faintly be seen walking on the pitch-black earth. He was also carrying another figure covered in blood, motionless, like a corpse.
One must know this was the Gray World. Humans fundamentally couldn't survive here. They wouldn't be able to stay long before being torn to pieces by the attracted Calamities... Unless their own Rank was very high, enough to carve out a bloody path all the way by themselves. So when the youth saw someone actually walking on foot in the Gray World, his eyes were full of confusion.
When he looked out through the train window and saw that wretched figure outside, that figure also saw the howling train speeding past.
"Train?! Realm train?!!"
Jian Changsheng froze for half a second, then as if gone mad, carrying Chen Ling, he sprinted wildly towards the train's direction!
Jian Changsheng was extremely depressed.
Ever since not long ago when he was "spat bloody mouthed" by Chen Ling, Chen Ling planted face-first heavily injured... Jian Changsheng was also dumbfounded. While cursing, he picked up Chen Ling and sprinted along the train tracks at full speed.
Last time Chen Ling also self-destructed without a word. If not for Chu Muyun rescuing him in time, Chen Ling probably wouldn't have lasted to Red Dust Domain at all... This time, although Chen Ling's injuries weren't as severe, it was still a severed arm and a hollowed-out chest, looking even more terrifying on the surface.
"Good on you, Hearts, are you playing with me?!!"
"We agreed there wouldn't be an explosion this time, and it exploded again?? Last time at least there was a group of people surrounding you, this time it's just me! You really know how to increase the intensity for me!!"
"I'm carrying you away, definitely not to save you... I'm afraid that if I leave you behind, those Calamities will follow me by smelling your scent. To me, you're just an amulet ornament, understand??"
"..."
"Damn it, can't this car drive a bit slower?!!"
Jian Changsheng's legs rapidly swung in the Gray World, but still couldn't catch up to the howling train speeding past. Gritting his teeth, he directly bit open his finger, and started using [Blood-Drop Spinner] to blink on his way.
...
"A bit interesting..."
Inside the train, the youth watched Jian Changsheng shifting while spurting blood, deep in thought.
"The Rank isn't high, but he can actually move freely in the Gray World... Could it be someone from the Scarlet Heaven Cult? No, it's impossible for them to obtain the Divine Pathway... Strange... Could it be a Fusionist?"
"Someone's there!! No, Calamities are following behind the train!"
Just as the youth was deep in thought, several Train Stewardesses hurriedly ran past from behind. "Quickly go tell the Train Conductor! Hurry up and accelerate, throw them off!"
"There are Curse Runes on the train, it should be able to drive away those Calamities... How come there are still Calamities that can actively approach?"
"I don't know! Those two Calamities are covered in blood, they look too terrifying!"
"We absolutely cannot let them approach the train, otherwise everyone in this train will be in mortal danger!!"
"..."
The Train Stewardesses didn't have such good eyesight, directly mistaking Jian Changsheng and the other for Calamities. But this couldn't be blamed on them. Other than Calamities, there were no other options capable of moving in the Gray World. Even if there were (such as the Scarlet Heaven Cult and Integration Faction), they were even more terrifying than Calamities!
Coupled with Jian Changsheng carrying a "corpse" dripping with blood and flesh, sprinting wildly while spurting blood, no matter how one looked at it, he didn't look like a good person.
Clank— Clank—!!
Amidst the roar of the whistle, the train accelerated again!
Jian Changsheng, who was originally about to touch the rear of the train, was abruptly pulled away again. His green veins bulged in anxiety!
"No... are you playing with me?!!" Jian Changsheng's eyes widened as he cursed out loud.
But he happened to have no other way. If he couldn't get on this train, he could only rely on his two legs to walk to Tianshu Domain... and he still had to carry a half-dead Chen Ling.
Jian Changsheng was unwilling to give up just like this. He simply cut open a bloody gash on his wrist again, and wildly sprinted again into a streak of bloody color, like a hell blood demon madly approaching the train!
His eyes were completely red.
...
"Its speed has gotten even faster!!"
On the train, the Train Stewardesses cried out in panic.
"What's going on? Can we still not throw it off?"
"Accelerate more! Accelerate more!"
"We can't, Tianshu Domain is just ahead. If we accelerate more, we won't have time to decelerate. We'll directly rush past the platform and crash into other places in the Domain!"
"Then what do we do???"
"..."
Panicked emotions spread within the carriage. Everywhere was in chaos.
Seeing this, the youth sitting by the window frowned tighter and tighter. After hesitating for a moment, he let out a long sigh... He unfastened the seatbelt of the Awakened Lion Head-dress, got up, and walked straight towards the rear of the train.
"Mister...!"
"Don't mind me, you guys continue driving." The youth pushed the small Round Sunglasses on the bridge of his nose, and smiled slightly at everyone while looking back. "I promise, it won't be able to catch up."
After saying that, he walked towards the last carriage without looking back.
The black Tang suit gradually disappeared from the view of the Train Stewardesses. They looked at each other, their eyes full of deep bewilderment...
...
Faster!
A little faster!!
Jian Changsheng's eyes were blood red. He had already pushed [Blood-Drop Spinner] to the extreme. The distance to the rear of the train closed little by little...
Just at this moment, the metal door at the rear of the train slowly opened amidst a creaking sound.
