Carriage 02.
When the door of carriage 01 opened and Wen Xishu walked into the carriage, the scene he saw didn’t seem much different.
This carriage was almost identical to the previous one.
"Huh?"
Seventeen rows of seats, eighteen passengers. At first glance, this carriage was completely the same as the one before.
The difference was, this one was indeed labeled as carriage 02.
Wen Xishu immediately felt something was off.
"Something strange..."
Because he had swallowed ten of Arnold’s fingers, his perception of strange occurrences was strong. Although the Deceit Tower panel had switched to the Slaughter Tower panel, for Wen Xishu...
Some powers brought by certain items would not change.
Even though this carriage was almost identical to the previous one, Wen Xishu could clearly feel a sense of suffocation.
He started walking forward.
But at that moment, he discovered something very eerie.
In the corner of the first row, the face of the male attendant had changed.
From a distance, Wen Xishu couldn’t see clearly. But as he walked a few steps forward, he immediately sensed...
That face was no longer the face of the previous male attendant.
"A woman!"
Wen Xishu was startled.
The male attendant was still the male attendant, and everything else seemed unchanged, but that face had turned into a woman’s face.
In other words, the face of the first row passenger that Wen Xishu suspected... to be a kidnapper.
At that instant, something uncanny happened.
It was as if Wen Xishu saw hallucinations.
The originally slightly desolate carriage suddenly filled with many "strangers."
Children in various outfits started spreading from the first row. On the seats, in the aisle, and even on the overhead racks, there were many children with differing faces hanging, sitting, or standing.
Both boys and girls.
All the children, boys and girls, looked at Wen Xishu with eerie smiles.
This happened in the blink of an eye.
Because in the next second, these children disappeared again.
But soon, the second row, the third row, the fourth row... the same thing happened, each child’s face was unique.
These children, some dressed in simple, rustic clothes as if from the mountains, some in elaborate children’s outfits, and some even infants...
They appeared in Wen Xishu’s eyes in a flash and disappeared in a flash.
At the sixth row, Wen Xishu finally saw it clearly, footprints...
White footprints appeared in Wen Xishu’s sight.
These children appeared and then immediately disappeared, but upon disappearing, they would leave eerie white footprints.
Meanwhile, at some point, Wen Xishu noticed the attendant with the kidnapper woman’s face had turned his back and was looking at the door.
The door leading to carriage 03.
Many possibilities flashed rapidly through Wen Xishu’s mind.
Without the Anti-Magic Value, fear easily arose in him. After all, he was just bold but not a monster devoid of the ability to fear.
Seventh row.
Eighth row.
Ninth row.
Tenth row!
Wen Xishu had not seen a single repeated face.
At the eleventh row, Wen Xishu saw a familiar face, the face of the little girl in the first row!
Actually, at the moment these children appeared, Wen Xishu had already guessed...
These children were most likely the ones abducted by that woman.
But there were too many of them.
Twelfth row!
Wen Xishu began to retreat, dense white footprints spread from the first row to the twelfth row.
Wen Xishu had a premonition...
If these white footprints landed on himself, it would certainly lead to a terrifying outcome.
It’s really hard to say whether his Deceit Tower panel switching to the Slaughter Tower panel was a strengthening or a weakening. After all, the monsters in Deceit Tower typically killed based on rules.
Wen Xishu began to retreat, all the way to the door of carriage 02, returning to carriage 01.
At this moment, a prompt appeared in Wen Xishu’s mind.
[Do you want to return to the previous carriage? Yes, No.]
Considering the current situation, Wen Xishu seemed to understand.
"So, apart from the first carriage... the carriages behind have all sorts of eerie rule scenes. If you understand the rules, you can figure out how to proceed..."
"If you can’t see through the rules and don’t know how to deal, you can choose to retreat..."
"But retreating must come with penalties, right?"
Wen Xishu certainly chose No.
When the white footprints spread to the fifteenth row, he had already guessed the possible solution to this carriage.
But if the white footprints continued spreading...
If they spread to the seventeenth row or even to the carriage door, then there would be no way out; Wen Xishu would surely die, unable to avoid them.
"Absolutely must not touch the white footprints, must not be stepped on by the white footprints."
One child appeared, one child disappeared.
Finally, at the seventeenth row—
A baby leaning forward, with completely black eyes devoid of any whites, and a creepy smile, almost touched Wen Xishu.
But ultimately, Wen Xishu, who clung tightly to the door and frantically chose "No" in his mind, dodged it.
In the next second, the child disappeared. White footprints appeared on the top of the backrest of the sofa in the seventeenth row.
Wen Xishu took a deep breath and slowly exhaled.
A smile slowly emerged on his face.
"At least... my current physical strength is also at the level of the first tier of the Slaughter Tower Celestial Ladder List."
"Theoretically, my control over my body should only be better than before."
