Who invited the witch into the eerie game?

Chapter 126 The Ruins Library

"Do you have any paper?" Su Xiaoshuang asked.

"have."

Liu Fu immediately took out a stack of A4 paper for printing from the game terminal. The paper was beautiful and of high quality.

Su Xiaoshuang picked up three pieces of paper, and a faint magical light shone from them.

You can faintly smell a burnt odor.

The next second, lines of text appeared on the paper, which were the rules of the Endless Train Abyss.

Considering some special circumstances, Su Xiaoshuang concealed some things.

After all, she's just here to gain experience.

The train was so hospitable, treating her to good food and drinks, giving her all the rules, but what if she didn't get any pleasure in return?

These rules should be sufficient for their needs.

Of course, if these players choose dangerous main quests and court death, there's nothing that can be done.

"These are the Abyss rules you requested."

Su Xiaoshuang said.

"Thank you, Dr. Celia."

Liu Fu looked at the rules of the Abyss Train above and showed a shocked expression.

Who would have thought that there are so many rules involved just for train attendants?

There are also passengers, some visible and some invisible.

Helena's death was likely due to interference with unseen passengers.

After reading the rules, the two said goodbye and left.

Su Xiaoshuang nodded, returned to the luxury carriage, and began reading the book "Research and Application of Magic and Spatial String Field Theory".

The magic book I received last time contained very little theory about spatial magic.

This magic book perfectly fills the gap in it.

"Spatial String Field Theory —"

Su Xiaoshuang stared into deep thought as she looked at the theories in her newly acquired magic book.

She recognized all the words on the screen, but she had absolutely no idea what the formula meant when they were put together.

Simply put, the content of this book is very profound, and it is difficult to understand without a certain amount of basic knowledge.

However difficult it may be, it's still more understandable than the magic in "The Holy Scripture of Light".

Additionally, compare this with the description of spatial magic in another magic book.

The [Magic Space] she was to learn became much simpler.

"You should be able to learn it in 3 days."

Su Xiaoshuang's eyes lit up, and she took out her notes to begin the derivation.

Carriage number 41.

Liu Fu and Brandon returned.

They discovered that Liang Xi, Lin Xun, and Shen Muyun had already returned.

Tessa was eating a small cake, and Duan Hongyu was meditating, seemingly having no intention of participating in any discussion.

"How was it? Did you find anything?"

Shen Muyun asked.

He suddenly realized something: "Where's Helena, the beast tamer?"

-

"He's dead."

Brandon said, "We went to the restaurant in car 05. Helena was speaking too loudly in the restaurant, which annoyed the guests and staff, so she was taken away by the staff."

"I was just taken away, what makes you think I'm dead?"

Helena's voice came from behind.

She walked into carriage 41, seemingly without any problem.

However, Liu Fu and Brandon took a step back simultaneously, distancing themselves from Helena.

Liang Xi, Lin Xun, and Shen Muyun looked over with puzzlement, somewhat confused.

Aren't people living perfectly well?

this----

"Helena, how did you survive?" Liu Fu couldn't help but ask.

"I was just asked to leave the restaurant, what else could it be?"

Helena twirled in front of everyone to show that she was in great shape and looked perfectly normal.

Liu Fu and Brandon exchanged a glance; they didn't believe it.

Because this was the death that Dr. Celia had chosen for him.

Based on what they saw in the restaurant, Dr. Celia was definitely the eerie boss on the Abyss Train, at least at the quasi-god level, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to give out such detailed rules.

[Please be aware of non-human entities among the passengers. Their reflections, smells, and speech are completely different from real people. If you come into frequent contact with them, you may be replaced or replaced.]

The two of them immediately thought of this rule.

Helena's reflection is distorted.

The smell has changed too.

As a nurse, Liu Fu noticed these things immediately.

As a chemist, Brandon also noticed subtle changes in Helena's scent.

Without a doubt, Helena was replaced by the inhuman beings on the train.

"That's great," Brandon said. "Helena, you were so worrying. We thought you'd been taken away by the weird boss and would die."

"No, they dispelled the strange spirits that were bothering me and let me go," Helena said. "It was the kindness of His Highness at the restaurant."

"That's good."

Brandon said, "Tessa, to celebrate Helena's return, could we share some small cakes with her?"

"OK."

Tessa walked towards Helena with a cute and charming expression, stopping five steps away. "Helena, would you like a small cake?"

"Yes, we need it."

Helena slowly approached Tessa, her slightly raised hand suddenly transforming into a giant bear paw, which slammed down fiercely towards Tessa: "A lovely face, a devil's heart, you think you can fool me?!"

"You demon, you're asking for death!"

"what!"

Tessa was terrified.

In the blink of an eye, the people in the carriage saw Tessa being slapped into a pool of blood by Helena.

Duan Hongyu opened his eyes and looked calmly at the scene before him.

He was very curious about the extent to which this non-human could achieve.

And what level of skill these players can achieve.

"Tessa."

Brandon gasped.

He knew Tessa was very powerful, but he didn't expect that Tessa would be defeated by Helena so easily.

And then there's Helena, that inhuman being who already realized she'd been exposed.

He's the one who ruined Tessa.

"whee."

Just as everyone was in shock, Tessa's voice rang out.

Helena froze, looked up, and saw a huge shadow opening its massive jaws toward her.

Click.

Helena's head was bitten by something strange.

"you----"

next second.

Helena's head was eaten.

Her body began to mutate, growing all sorts of ferocious tentacles, wanting to destroy everything around her.

However, the transformation of the body was no match for the speed at which the opponent devoured it.

Whether they were tentacles or not, they were all devoured by the shadow.

In the darkness, only the horrifying sound of flesh being chewed remained.

In the blink of an eye, the twilight light returned, and everyone regained their vision.

Tessa Parker stood there unharmed.

She was holding a delicate little box in her hands.

The small box closed just in time.

"Tessa————"

Brandon looked at Tessa, who had recovered, and said, "I'm sorry I put you in danger just now."

"It's okay."

Tessa shook her head cutely: "I also wanted to taste what it would be like if a non-human turned into a mini cake, but unfortunately I didn't get to."

As Shen Muyun, Lin Xun, Liang Xi, Liu Fu, and Brandon looked at the unharmed Tessa, their apprehension towards her grew even stronger.

This is too outrageous.

They were smashed into a bloody mess, but in the blink of an eye, they came back to life completely.

Also, what exactly is that strange black shadow that devoured the non-human Helena?

so horrible.

"Everyone, Helena's matter is over."

Brandon said, "What intelligence has everyone gathered? We've gathered quite a bit, so you guys go first."

"it is good."

Shen Muyun composed himself and recounted all the information they had gathered.

Like Liu Fu and Brandon, they also discovered that the carriages they passed through were actually disordered.

For example, you are currently in carriage 41. If you walk one carriage back, you might be in carriage 61. If you walk back again, you will be in carriage 33.

Fortunately, one of them was a skilled programmer named Lin Xun, and the group successfully returned to carriage 41 using Lin Xun's algorithm.

In addition, they saw all sorts of passengers.

It is suspected that some of these passengers are also players.

But they dared not confirm it.

Based on the current gaming terminals, it appears that they are a group of people.

If there are indeed other groups of weird game players, there might be hidden main quests, confrontations, and mutual killings, since this is a common tactic in weird games.

In addition, the train attendants were acting very strangely.

Fortunately, everything turned out alright.

"These are the rules for the Abyss Train that we obtained."

Brandon took out a rulebook, saying, "I paid a huge price for this, and I hope to get some compensation."

,,

Shen Muyun, Lin Xun, Liang Xi, and Tessa looked over curiously.

I never expected Brandon to be so amazing, managing to uncover the bizarre rules of the Abyss Train.

With these rules in place, their chances of survival will be greatly increased.

"You've shown us the rules, aren't you worried we won't pay the price?" Shen Muyun asked curiously.

"This is only part of the rules," Brandon said. "I have two more here."

The group fell silent.

"Brandon sent over a very valuable magic book in exchange for this information."

Liu Fu said, "This magic book made Dr. Celia very happy, which is why she was able to obtain these rules."

"In that case, we will each contribute something as compensation."

Shen Muyun said.

Whether it's for the sake of these rules or for taking responsibility for one's own life, it's only right to pay some price to compensate Brandon.

Soon, Brandon had acquired quite a few things, including books, potions, and a strange invitation to a game.

Have you gathered any clues regarding the main quest "Derailment"?

Brandon asked again.

Several people shook their heads, indicating that they hadn't found much.

"It's alright, with these rules, our intelligence gathering will be much smoother."

Shen Muyun was full of confidence.

They had a very bad start before, but now things are much better.

At that moment, the broadcast started.

"The next stop is the Ruins Library. Passengers who need to get off the train, please prepare accordingly."

"The Abyss train will stop at the Ruins Library station for one hour."

Passengers who need to disembark temporarily should take their tickets with them.

'

The announcement was broadcast three times in a row.

The group immediately looked out the window and saw a huge creature slowly emerging from the hazy gray fog.

They could vaguely make out that this was a city buried in an eerie gray fog.

"Do you want to get off?"

Liang Xi asked, "There might be some good food at the station. You guys don't know how delicious some of the food in the weird game is."

.

"Really?"

Tessa's eyes lit up, and she looked eager to try.

Shen Muyun, Lin Xun, Brandon, and Liu Fu were speechless.

However, Brandon and Liu Fu had some drinks at Restaurant No. 5, and they couldn't argue with that, as the drinks were indeed quite good.

"I think we should get off and take a look. Maybe we can get some unexpected information," Lin Xun said seriously. "Otherwise, the train wouldn't stop at a station for so long for no reason."

The group exchanged glances and agreed that it made a lot of sense.

"Then, just like when we're gathering intelligence, we'll split into groups and get off the bus to investigate. Each group will have 30 minutes to investigate. Within those 30 minutes, you must leave the library and come back to meet up."

Shen Muyun said.

Everyone agreed, and the discussion concluded.

"A library in ruins?"

Su Xiaoshuang closed the magic book, tidied herself up briefly, and decided to get out of the car to take a look.

Soon, the train stopped at the Ruins Library station.

Through the train window, she saw all sorts of passengers getting off the train and entering the station.

These passengers had one thing in common: their behavior was stiff, as if they were following a set program of instructions.

Yes, just like AI.

Weird.

But it makes perfect sense.

Su Xiaoshuang stepped off the train, her gaze sweeping over the strange passengers.

Passengers being watched often instinctively turn around to look, but upon noticing the extremely respectful flight attendants behind Su Xiaoshuang, they immediately look away and go about their business.

Around the same time, Su Xiaoshuang saw the group of players getting off the bus.

"Dr. Celia!"

Brandon immediately bowed to Su Xiaoshuang.

Liu Fu followed suit and bowed.

Su Xiaoshuang blinked, nodded slightly, and turned to leave.

An hour is a short time, and she didn't have time to interact with the players much.

"Is she Dr. Celia?"

Shen Muyun looked at Su Xiaoshuang in the distance and asked.

"Yes, she's the one who gave us the rules for the Abyss Train. I advise you not to have any dangerous thoughts," Brandon said.

"rest assured."

Shen Muyun said, "Some players like to ambush and kill neutral, luring, strange bosses in the hope of obtaining rare strange items, but I know my own limitations and have never participated in such things."

"That would be best."

Brandon said, "This kind of being is definitely not someone we can afford to mess with."

After a brief explanation, the group immediately set off towards the ruined library.

The Ruins Library, built amidst ruins, has a distinctly wasteland feel.

Su Xiaoshuang arrived at the library entrance, her eyes filled with curiosity.

An old robot was responsible for greeting guests.

"Welcome to the library. I hope you can enjoy the ocean of knowledge."

The old robot said in an extremely eerie tone: "Beware of the forbidden books in the library, and even more so, beware of the knowledge devourers. If you don't want to become an idiot, remember to stay away from them."

"Thanks for reminding me."

Su Xiaoshuang nodded slightly and entered the library.

At the library entrance, she saw a row of anti-gravity hovercars, with usage diagrams on the wall.

To save library space and the time of readers, each person can choose one, and it is similar to using a balance scooter.

The difference is that one walks on the ground, while the other can fly in the sky.

Su Xiaoshuang chose an anti-gravity hovercar.

Once she stepped on it, she quickly experienced the joy of soaring through the clouds.

"Find the book first."

""

Su Xiaoshuang spotted a direction and flew up to the bookshelf area thousands of meters high, searching for the magic book she needed.
