I slay demons and monsters in a bizarre city.

Chapter 4 Game Concept Designer

As a game concept designer, Li Changgeng has designed many horror and suspense scenes and considers himself to have a high tolerance for horror.

There is no upper limit to the psychological threshold.

This octopus girl really gave him goosebumps.

An immersive experience is completely different from playing a game.

Virtual reality games are comparable to this.

Simply weak burst!

How wonderful it would be to dream now.

Even the most terrifying nightmare.

There will always be a time when you wake up.

A foul, pungent odor filled the entire No. 5 carriage.

Li Changgeng was breathing rapidly, almost suffocating.

The black, slimy octopus tentacles resembled rapidly growing tree roots, covering every inch of the land they passed through.

The saw demon retreated.

Li Changgeng also ran backwards.

Looking back every now and then.

It doesn't matter if you look at it.

boom!
Li Changgeng's fingers trembled.

The shotgun spat out a fiery serpent.

In the heat of the moment, the gun went off accidentally!

"oops!"

The saw demon clutched his bleeding buttocks, "Why did you hit me?"

Li Changgeng hurriedly released the safety of his shotgun. "Sorry, I'm just too nervous, brother."

“There’s no time.” The saw demon’s white wolf head mask tilted to one side, and a golden talisman with blood-red Sanskrit symbols fell out.

"I have no choice but to kill her first. As for you, that's up to fate."

The saw demon had no choice.

If Li Changgeng doesn't kill the monstrous octopus girl in front of him, he will surely die.

As for the aftermath, let's leave that to Li Changgeng's fate.

It's possible that the Mythology Administration really did hire the wrong person.

Li Changgeng was just an ordinary person; he wasn't one of the Ten Pillars, the Thunder Pillar.

"Burn!"

The Saw Demon made a hand seal with his left hand, rapidly changing the direction of his fingers, and golden talismans floated in the void, burning.

The talisman transformed into a golden sword aura.

"These are the ten-pillar mantras. Can you understand them?"

Li Changgeng couldn't understand it at all. The saw demon's hand speed was incredibly fast, with only blurry finger movements, the speed of someone who had been single for decades.

"Hehe, that's it?"

Octopus Girl's giant mouth on her belly made a few gurgling sounds.

The big mouth transformed into a green eye with a large eyeball and a red eyelid.

"Close your eyes, don't look at that eye!" The chainsaw vibrated and started ringing.

Li Changgeng subconsciously closed his eyes.

First, they heard the octopus-girl monster's ear-piercing scream.

This was followed by the saw demon's painful, low sigh.

Finally, there was the furious sound of chainsaws cutting, mixed with Octopus Girl's screams and roars.

With a loud crash, as if a heavy object had fallen onto the floor of the carriage.

The train started shaking, and the stench was unbearable for Li Changgeng.

He tilted his head to one side and vomited a few mouthfuls of stomach acid.

puff!
A burning sensation in my nasal cavity.

"I'm leaving!"

The Saw Demon clutched his shoulder blade, which had been pierced by the Octopus Girl's tentacles.

As the powerful, rhythmic piano music gradually faded, the figure dimmed and soon disappeared.

The piano march that just played sounded so familiar! I think I've heard it before.

"Don't leave."

When Li Changgeng opened his eyes again, he saw only the corpse of the octopus girl, who had been cleaved in two by the saw demon from above.

The stench of blood mixed with green slime almost made Li Changgeng faint. The octopus girl's eyes were still rolling on half of her face. Her ruptured stomach was covered with a dense swarm of white corpse worms, each about the thickness of a thumb and the size of a palm.

Li Changgeng felt a chill run down his spine and got goosebumps all over his body.

Corpse worms were as numerous as hairs on a cow.

The sizzling, gnawing sound made Li Changgeng's brain feel like it was about to boil.

Corpse worms crawled over the dead people in the carriage, and in the blink of an eye, the corpses were reduced to bare bones, their flesh and blood completely devoured by the worms.

Li Changgeng swallowed hard, and with his last bit of willpower, ran towards the direction from which the corpse worms were crawling.

The entrance to carriage number 4 is right in front of us.

Octopus Girl died at the connection between carriages 5 and 4.

These corpse worms seemed to lack any intelligence, only knowing how to eat, and crawled in one direction, seemingly having no intention of going to carriage 4. Despite the commotion in carriage 5, no passengers from carriage 4 came over.

Besides, there is no carriage number 5 in the game where the myth descends.

If Li Changgeng could leave from carriage 5 and successfully reach carriage 4, he might not die.

Li Changgeng swung his arms and ran, gritting his teeth.

Step down.

*Pfft, bang...*

Several white corpse worms were crushed and burst.

Plump and juicy...

Li Changgeng's survival amidst the army of corpse worms confirmed his suspicion that the worms were only interested in corpses and did not eat living people.

We're almost at the junction of carriages 4 and 5.

Open the door and you can go inside and leave carriage number 5 completely.

Li Changgeng was covered in sweat and breathing rapidly.

Get out of this awful place right now!
To be successful!

Li Changgeng's fingertip just touched the doorknob.

Just as I was about to open the door.

A sharp pain shot through my ankle.

It was as if something was gripping him tightly.

At the time, Octopus Girl had the same idea as Li Changgeng, wanting to go to carriage number 4, but Saw Demon used a chainsaw to cut off one of her hands.

It was that severed hand that grabbed Li Changgeng's ankle.

"Let go! Let go!"

Li Changgeng instinctively raised his leg and kicked it away.

The severed hand gripped his ankle tightly, the force increasing until the Achilles tendon was almost snapped.

"Hehe... Little handsome man, I'll rip your heart out and eat it raw to satisfy my craving for it." The severed hand grinned, with a complete face on the back of the hand.

Eyebrows, eyes, nose, mouth, and even a pair of protruding ears.

At this moment, the human-faced hand grinned, revealing red lips and white teeth, and mocked Li Changgeng in a sly manner.

"By consuming one of your living hearts, I will become stronger again."

"Oh, how am I going to torture you? Let's start by tearing your tongue off."

Li Changgeng stared in disbelief, as if struck by lightning, his whole body feeling as if it were being electrocuted.

The voice that spoke through the hand belonged to the octopus girl who had just been cleaved in two by the chainsaw demon.

This can no longer be described as something that has been seen in a lifetime, or something that has been seen by a ghost.

It's estimated that even the Black and White Impermanence of Fengdu City would be terrified to death if they saw this.

Li Changgeng was so frightened he almost couldn't catch his breath.

How evil!

The muzzle of the shotgun was stuffed into the mouth of the human face and hand.

Only one bullet left.

Woohoo...

The faces and hands were all in disarray, unable to speak.

It seemed like he was begging for mercy.

Li Changgeng pulled the trigger.

I then realized the fuse wasn't turned on.

boom!
One shot blew the face and hand away, and black smoke was still coming out of the face and hand's mouth.

Cough cough cough...

The man with the face coughed a few times and broke out of the window.

"Damn it, my newly grown wisdom tooth got smashed. If I go back and warn others, I can still be resurrected."

Li Changgeng's short-sleeved shirt was soaked with sweat.

He threw down his shotgun, pulled the door handle of carriage number 4, and crawled inside.

A flash of white light flashed.

Looking back at carriage number 5, it was completely dark, as if carriage number 5 had never existed at all.

Exhausted, Li Changgeng mindlessly sat down in an empty seat.

I have lingering fears.

When will we be able to return to reality? What exactly happened?

Li Changgeng covered his face with his hands. All he wanted to do now was go back. His younger sister, Li Ying, was still waiting for him to pay her medical bills. If he stopped paying for her medical treatment, his sister would only be left to die.

Perhaps everything will end when this ghost train arrives at Black Sea City station.

Li Changgeng prayed silently.

"You are, you are Li Changgeng, right?" A sweet, slightly familiar voice rang in Li Changgeng's ears.

"Senior, I'm Xia Mengmeng, your junior from Black Sea City University. Don't you remember me?"

Xia Mengmeng from Black Sea City University?

Li Changgeng's memory is hazy.

“You are…” Li Changgeng jumped up suddenly, his pupils contracting rapidly. How come Xia Mengmeng looks so much like the octopus girl from earlier?
