Chapter 150 The Substitute (End)

Lu Jinzhao could feel that Qin Wan's breathing was very weak, and her body, which was barely standing, was trembling slightly, as if she was at her last gasp.

Although her own condition wasn't much better, Lu Jinzhao felt she could still endure it because of her physical strength and her growing accustomedness to injuries on the platform.

However, neither of them could put their minds at ease about what was going on with Zhou Ziming, who had been following them around.

Is Zhou Ziming still alive?
Both Lu Jinzhao and Qin Wan felt that the possibility was extremely low, so low that they immediately recognized Zhou Ziming as a stand-in the moment they saw him.

But if they are stand-ins, why are the two of them in such poor condition, yet the other party hasn't made any move?
Murder is a demon's instinct; if we don't act now, the train will be here.

They could already hear the train whistle approaching the station in the distance.

If we're going to kill, then now is the only time.

Ke Lu looked to the side and saw that Zhou Ziming still had that somewhat simple-minded look, his body was extremely relaxed, as if he felt that the mission was already completed, so he had no vigilance at all.

He would occasionally grimace and reach out to cover his wound, but each time he touched it, he would gasp in pain at the even more intense pain.

how to say
It looks very lifelike.

He sensed Qin Wan and Lu Jinzhao's wariness towards him, so he stopped interacting with them and deliberately kept his distance, as if to put their minds at ease.

Even though the headlights of the train's engine pierced through the darkness and a section of black rail appeared out of thin air on the ground ahead, Zhou Ziming still showed no abnormality.

Qin Wan's face showed a mixture of doubt and disbelief. She was undoubtedly nervous at the moment, her fingers gripping the pocket watch, ready to open it at any moment if Zhou Ziming made any unusual move, to ensure she could get on the bus alive.

Lu Jinzhao appeared calm on the surface, but in reality, he was observing everything closely.

Even though the train had slowly pulled into the station and even stopped in front of them, and the warm lights of the carriage shone on them through the windows, Zhou Ziming still did nothing to them.

He even showed a rather delighted expression: "Great! The train is finally here! We've finally waited for this!"

He looked extremely relieved, almost to the point of tears.

He looked exactly like an excited surviving passenger.

Is it a bit over the top?

Once they reach their level and have experienced many challenges, even in the most thrilling and exciting situations, they will no longer show the same emotional tears as when they were newcomers.

"Could it be because Zhou Ziming's brain, which was taken by a ghost, hasn't returned yet?" Qin Wan wondered.

"Or perhaps, something is still wrong with him."

Even though the train doors were already open, if the ghosts didn't do anything, they would return to the train. Zhou Ziming, standing to the side, was still excitedly watching the open doors, completely ignoring Qin Wan and Lu Jinzhao.

Not only did he not approach them, he even ran towards the car door on his own.

They were afraid that if they were a step too late, they would be abandoned by the train.

"It really is him?" Qin Wan finally couldn't help but show her surprise.

Ghosts cannot board trains; that's an ironclad rule.

"Let's hurry up and go up too." Surprised as she was, Qin Wan just wanted to leave this horrible place that had given her so much psychological trauma as soon as possible.

Lu Jinzhao, who was standing to the side, did not speak, and his slightly furrowed brows showed obvious doubt.

Clearly, Zhou Ziming getting on the bus was completely beyond her expectations.

She had even imagined many things that ghosts might do in this final stage, but she never expected that nothing would happen here.

Did she just get back on the train like that?
For a moment, Lu Jinzhao even wondered if he had fallen into a hallucination.

However, this ghost does not have the ability to create illusions.

As Lu Jinzhao stepped onto the train, she felt a sense of relief, and her tense body went limp.

She looked at Qin Wan: "Don't repair your body yet."

Qin Wan paused for a moment, remembering her deal with Lu Jinzhao: "Then we need to hurry, we only have ten minutes."

Lu Jinzhao nodded. Qin Wan's back skin was unusable, but she still had plenty of intact skin on her body, and there was no need to worry about exceeding the time limit for using the bell on the train.

The train will suppress it completely.

The train can transform items that passengers take out of the platform into supernatural objects, and naturally it can also suppress any supernatural objects that it transforms.

"train."

Just as the two finished speaking, they heard Zhou Ziming's voice.

The strange feeling in Lu Jinzhao's heart grew stronger.

Qin Wan also sensed something was wrong, and the two of them looked at Zhou Ziming at the same time.

Zhou Ziming walked about two seconds faster than them and stood in front of them with his back to them, muttering to himself, "I'm up."

The train doors are slowly closing.

Lu Jinzhao's heart skipped a beat. She immediately realized what was happening and quickly walked in front of Zhou Ziming. Then, she saw a horrifying scene!
Zhou Ziming's features were like ice cream in summer, melting rapidly.

His part, which could hardly be called a "mouth," was unconsciously repeating "train" over and over again.

"I'll go."

".car"

“了”

As the last crack in the train door closed, accompanied by a slight knocking sound, "Zhou Ziming" turned into a pool of blood and gore. Then, the train floor seemed to automatically clean up the "filth," and the pool of gore gradually disappeared.

Qin Wan was completely still.

She couldn't understand the situation.

"What is this? Zhou Ziming, what happened to him?" Because she was extremely weak, she was already on the verge of unconsciousness. Seeing this shocking scene, her mind was completely blank.

Lu Jinzhao took a deep breath: "It's not Zhou Zimo."

"It's a substitute."

Qin Wan was even more confused: "Why isn't the stand-in attacking us?"

Murder is an instinct ingrained in a demon's "genes."

"I don't know," Lu Jinzhao replied, but something immediately came to mind.

That was the first time she entered the platform, the platform called "Summoning Ghosts".

As the train pulled away, she stood by the window, still deeply shaken by her first experience, and the scene she witnessed remains vivid in her memory to this day.

Those "people" possessed by ghosts looked at her with longing, no, they looked at the train carrying her with longing.

She later realized that they wanted to get on the bus.

Now, Zhou Ziming, the stand-in, has even overpowered the ghost's instinct to kill. He did nothing to them and ran straight onto the train!
What does this represent?
Is the ghost's desire to get on the bus stronger than its desire to kill?
wrong.

Not all ghosts are like that.

The ghosts at these platforms—[out of control], [slaughterhouse], [funeral home], [inheritance]—did not reveal this aspect.

The only ones eager to get on the bus are ghosts that can "possess" or "replace" humans.

Or rather, the only beings capable of getting close to the train and having a strong desire to try boarding it are demons who can disguise themselves as "humans".

Lu Jinzhao came to this conclusion, which made her feel cold.

Thank you keineee for the generous donation as the Alliance Leader!

I urgently withdrew a leave request.

Seeing the donation, he insisted that he had to go home and rush to write after lunch, so he skipped his original plan.
