I slay demons and monsters in a bizarre city.

Chapter 5 Skeleton Reaper
Recalling the octopus girl's terrifying and disgusting actions, her delicate face was etched into Li Changgeng's memory.

Xia Mengmeng's face is indeed a perfect replica of Octopus Girl's.

Even their eyes bear a striking resemblance.

And then there's that evil finger-face that speaks human language.

Li Changgeng almost cried out.

It was a complete surprise for Xia Mengmeng to run into Li Changgeng on the train.

She was a little fangirl who secretly admired Li Changgeng.

Being able to speak a single word to Li Changgeng up close is an immense blessing.

Li Changgeng is the star player of the Black Sea City University basketball team.

With his elegant playing style, explosive physical abilities, and various fancy dunks, he's a force to be reckoned with.

And those six-pack abs that are so incredibly attractive, I dream of touching them day and night...

Xia Mengmeng's phone album is filled with photos of Li Changgeng's exciting moments on the basketball court, where he sweats it out.

"Senior, you seem very nervous."

You're sweating a lot.

You're wet!

After not seeing him for several years, my once robust senior has become so weak; his kidney deficiency is quite alarming.

Large beads of sweat dripped from Li Changgeng's forehead, and his short-sleeved shirt was almost completely soaked. The pure cotton fabric, after absorbing the sweat, clung tightly to Li Changgeng's thick chest muscles, making him look very well-built.

The temperature in the train carriages was only in the teens Celsius.

Li Changgeng, however, was sweating profusely.

Li Changgeng had a vague recollection of this junior student named Xia Mengmeng.

"It's nothing, I just fell asleep. I had a nightmare and it scared me a bit." Li Changgeng touched his seat and found his train ticket.

Seat: Carriage 4, seat number 9, aisle seat.

My ticket changed from seat number 97 in carriage 5 to my current seat.

Do you know the chainsaw killer?

Li Changgeng gestured to his head, "He was wearing a white wolf head mask."

"He was holding a sharp chainsaw."

"It is said that he committed crimes in multiple locations and killed many people. His usual method was to saw off living people, especially girls."

Xia Mengmeng stared blankly at Li Changgeng with her clear, innocent eyes.

"Senior, are you alright? There's no such thing as a chainsaw killer."

Li Changgeng was a little tired. Looking around at the passengers, he saw that they were looking at him in the same way Xia Mengmeng was, probably thinking of him as a perverted lunatic.

Some passengers even took photos with their phones, seemingly wanting to preserve evidence.

Some passengers simply left their seats, aiming to get as far away from Li Changgeng as possible.

But who could know the terrifying experience Li Changgeng had just gone through?

"Do you like octopuses?" Li Changgeng was very uneasy, feeling as if he had just escaped one danger only to fall into another.

"Mmm." Xia Mengmeng tapped her fair right cheek with her slender index finger.

"Octopus tattoo, pan-fried octopus, octopus and pork rib soup, takoyaki, wow, so delicious!" Xia Mengmeng half-closed her eyes, her face full of ecstasy...

Xia Mengmeng's hand?
No matter how you look at Li Changgeng, he looks just like the octopus girl, the one that was cut off by the saw demon.

"Senior, do you need any help?" Xia Mengmeng asked, seeing Li Changgeng looking flustered and absent-minded.

"What time is it now?" Li Changgeng imagined all sorts of terrifying scenes happening in the train carriages. If a really terrifying and bizarre event occurred, the most important thing was how to survive.

He isn't entirely confident either.

Based on the content of the game "Mythical Advent".

A truly horrific and bloody incident occurred in the fourth carriage.

I don't know if it will happen again.

Time, time!

Li Changgeng recalled a small detail from the game "Mythical Descent".

It seems that terror descended upon the train after a specific point in time.

"Senior, are you getting off at Black Sea City Station?" Xia Mengmeng was a little scared by Li Changgeng.

"What time is it?" Li Changgeng grabbed Xia Mengmeng's hand, but the time on Xia Mengmeng's wristwatch was frozen at 04:09, the numbers not changing.

An elderly woman with a kind face sitting opposite Li Changgeng adjusted her black-rimmed reading glasses, looked at her wrist, and found that her mechanical watch seemed to be broken, with the hands looking like they were rusted.

The elderly woman wearing black-rimmed reading glasses thought Li Changgeng and Xia Mengmeng were a couple deeply in love, bickering and arguing, which she found quite interesting.

"Young man, don't be so rough, be gentle."

The old lady smiled kindly and said, "Let's talk things out and communicate slowly. There's no need to resort to violence."

"It's about 4:09 PM now." The old lady subconsciously shook her hand, but the hands of her mechanical watch didn't move.

"That's not right. Ten minutes ago, I went to the train conductor to buy a replacement ticket. It was around 4:09 at that time, and the ticket I bought had the time on it." The man in the brown striped vest, with a muscular physique, took out his ticket to check the time, then took out his phone, only to find that his phone was frozen, with the time stuck at 4:09.

"4:09? Holy crap." The muscular man's gold chain gleamed as he pressed the power button on his phone. "Why did my phone freeze?"

"I was online just now and played more than ten rounds of fighting games."

More and more people gradually noticed something was wrong, wherever there was time to appear, whether it was a mobile phone, watch, tablet, mechanical watch, etc.

Even the electronic clock above the train doors showed the time frozen at 4:09.

"My phone also crashed at 4:09 PM, it's frozen!" "What happened? My phone is unusable."

"The train stopped, and my watch got stuck at that time."

Boom... Boom!

A series of loud booming sounds echoed.

The train suddenly plummeted and then quickly rose back to the surface, shaking violently, and the reading lights emitted a crackling sound.

The lights flickered on and off.

Clang, crash...

The train windows shattered suddenly, seawater rushed in, and the glass exploded like fragments of an exploding grenade.

Ah, ah!
Shouts erupted inside the carriage, and blood quickly soaked every corner of the carriage.

The passengers suffered injuries of varying degrees; some were blinded, some had their faces scratched, and one passenger even had his carotid artery severed by shards of glass, causing him to bleed profusely.

Li Changgeng suddenly pulled Xia Mengmeng into his arms, stretching out his arms to protect her.

Mythology revives, terror descends.

The evil, terrifying monsters have resurrected.

An evil god is going to judge all of humanity!!!

Li Changgeng recalled the opening lines of the Mythical Descent game.

It's really coming!

"What happened?" Xia Mengmeng's heart was pounding. She saw the wound on Li Changgeng's arm, and blood was flowing down his fingers.

"If you want to live, listen to me."

Li Changgeng tried hard to recall the details of the game "Mythical Descent".

Hopefully, the evil god will play by the rules.

Xia Mengmeng had no idea what had happened.

Has the train at sea derailed?
Or was there an accident?

The violently shaking train gradually stabilized, and the pungent smell of blood mingled with the saltiness of the sea.

"Mom, Mom, wake up!"

"Mother."

A little girl, covered in wounds and with two lines of bloody tears on her face, was pushing hard against a woman lying in a pool of blood.

Her mother was dead; shards of glass were lodged deep in her throat, her neck almost severed, and blood was gushing out.

"What's going on outside?" The old woman, wearing black-rimmed reading glasses, stood up shakily, holding onto the back of the chair.

The whole world was in chaos, as if shrouded in a red mist. Monsters roamed freely, flying through the sky and disappearing into the earth. Beasts roared, buildings collapsed, and the world was no better than hell on earth.

"Damn it! What the hell is going on?" The muscular man was the first to stand up. "Where are the flight attendants? Someone explain to us what the hell is going on!"

"I want that damn complaint!"

"I demand compensation!"

Many passengers were still reeling from the terror they had just experienced and hadn't recovered.

Many more people died on the train; their bodies lay scattered across the carriage, their eyes wide open in death, their faces contorted in agony.

Many people were terrified.

Jie Jie...

Hehehe...

A shrill laugh echoed throughout the carriage.

The voice was sinister and chilling, sending shivers down one's spine.

"Humble humans, do you want to live?"

"Only 8 people can survive in carriage number 4. The more people you kill, the greater your chance of survival!"

"As far as I know, there are escaped death row inmates in this carriage! This is your perfect opportunity."

Li Changgeng looked in the direction of the sound.

The monster was dressed in a black wizard's hooded robe, with no flesh or skin on its body.

The skeleton, covered in creaking bones, was surrounded by black, malevolent water ripples.

At this moment, he was sitting atop the "Death Scythe," shrouded in black mist.

The muscular man pointed at the skull and said, "Are you making a movie, doing special effects?! Stop with the weird stuff!"

"Insects! I am Death!" The skeleton Death pointed his pale hand at the muscular man's head.

The gold chain around the bodybuilder's neck tightened, as if an invisible, incredibly strong hand was controlling everything.

cough cough...

The muscular man covered his neck with both hands, his face instantly turning red with blood...

puff!
His head was severed by the gold chain, and blood gushed from the broken neck. The headless corpse swayed a few times before collapsing onto the chair.

"The game has begun. You only have twenty minutes, so enjoy the carnage!"

The red countdown numbers that had appeared before Li Changgeng's eyes had turned green!

00:19:56
……

If I can hold on until the countdown ends, will I be able to return to reality?
