Who invited the witch into the eerie game?

Chapter 134 Repairing the Cave Station

"Excuse me, have you seen anyone?"

A stranger stopped Brandon in his way, looking quite anxious.

The other person was gesturing frantically, which made Brandon anxious.

But who exactly is it?

The stranger couldn't say anything.

"Don't worry, don't worry."

Brandon said.

In the brief moment, he came to his senses.

Isn't he the only person here?

Of all the other passengers in the carriage, was there even one who was still alive and well?

They're all bizarre monsters!

He was the only person there.

"I know you're anxious, but don't rush."

Brandon took out the small cakes and pudding he had just collected from the game terminal and offered them to the gamer: "I'll treat you to some small cakes and pudding."

The other person took one in each hand, looking at the sweet little cake and pudding in their hands, and was a little at a loss for what to do.

Perhaps these desserts are transformed from bizarre passengers, making them incredibly tempting.

The passengers who had blocked the way couldn't resist and started eating.

"It's delicious, thank you."

"You're welcome, please enjoy your meal."

Seeing that the other person was eating so intently, Brandon didn't have the heart to disturb them and quickly left.

On his way back to the train car, he was intercepted several more times, each time Brandon managed to get rid of the harassment by offering him dessert.

Something was wrong with the Abyss Train. Luckily, Tessa conjured up some desserts, otherwise it was hard to say how long he could have walked in such a carriage.

Half an hour later, the dessert in the game terminal was all used up, and Brandon successfully returned to his sleeper berth.

For safety reasons, he did not meet up with the others this time.

The third main quest has gone off track and cannot be completed.

The first main quest is "The Train Conductor's Approval." There is no actual train conductor; players must become the conductor themselves.

However, this situation is no different from turning the player into a flight attendant.

They're all traps that will keep you stuck on the Abyss forever.

As for the second main mission, which involves adding flight attendants, there's absolutely no need to consider it.

This proves that Duan Hongyu's judgment was correct. The way for players to pass the level is very simple: just get off at the final stop.

Now that we know how to get through, there's no need to meet up anymore.

the most important is.

Now, only Tessa Parker, Duan Hongyu, and himself remain as players on the Abyss Train.

Brandon strongly suspects that the deaths of Liu Fu and Lin Xun are related to Duan Hongyu.

He simply had no evidence.

Furthermore, Tessa's reminder was not unfounded.

Lying on the sleeper berth, Brandon's eyelids drooped intermittently; he was sleepy.

Passengers here tend to fall into deep sleep and regain some rationality, but each night the flight attendants will extract a certain amount of their dreams as payment for their stay. Long-term stay may gradually lead to a loss of the ability to dream and emotional numbness.

Brandon remembered this rule.

His ticket is here, but he doesn't know if, as a player, he will have a certain amount of dreams taken away from him.

Whether it is true or not, he is too sleepy right now.

Brandon lay on the soft bed, feeling a sense of relaxation he had never experienced before.

Before he knew it, Brandon had fallen asleep and had a strange dream.

In his dream, he returned to his dessert shop and was making delicious desserts.

Suddenly, all the desserts turned black and emitted a putrid smell.

Brandon felt a surge of fear and wanted to escape, but found himself unable to move.

At that moment, a blurry figure appeared in front of him. It was a person wearing a flight attendant uniform with a strange smile on his face.

"Your dream was sweet," the flight attendant said. "I loved it."

Brandon tried to scream, but no sound came out.

As the flight attendants drew closer, Brandon felt his consciousness being pulled away.

This isn't extracting dreams; it's extracting his memories, extracting his soul.

If this continues, he will die.

Brandon tried to struggle and resist, but he couldn't do anything, just like he was experiencing sleep paralysis.

He didn't encounter this situation when he slept in his own sleeper berth a few days ago, so why did it happen this time?

Is it some eerie monster that senses the game is about to end and starts indiscriminately harvesting kills?

"I don't want to die, I want to live!"

Suddenly, Brandon thought of the restaurant and Princess Celia dining there, and his dream came to an abrupt end.

In a daze, he saw the flight attendant who had extracted his soul from his dream explode with a bang.

"call----"

Brandon opened his eyes abruptly and found himself back in the real world.

His forehead was covered in sweat, and his heart was pounding.

It looked like a drowning person bursting out of the water.

"What just happened?"

"You bad old man, you actually left the carriage."

Tessa stood in the center of a pile of desserts, turned to look at Duan Hongyu, and smiled sweetly.

"Of course." Duan Hongyu got straight to the point. "My script was interfered with and affected, which means that there are beings we can't understand watching over us."

"Is it possible that Director Duan's script displeased the God of the Uncanny?" Tessa tilted her head and said seriously.

"To survive, we must join forces," Duan Hongyu said.

"Scared~"

Tessa took a few steps back, feigning fear: "I'm afraid you'll make me a character in your script. So far, they've all died, one by one."

"To show my sincerity, I'd like to remind you of something."

Duan Hongyu said, "To truly clear the game and leave the Abyss Train, we need a crucial item, which I am currently investigating."

-

Ok?

Tessa looked at Duan Hongyu in surprise, not expecting him to share such important information directly.

Is Director Duan suddenly trying to be a good guy?

This is so interesting.

That's right, a crucial item is needed to leave: a real train ticket.

Brandon, who was almost killed after being written into Duan Hongyu's script, obtained these real train tickets and gave them to her.

Now, Duan Hongyu's real train ticket is with her.

"Bad old man, let's make a deal."

Tessa said, "I've found the key item you need. You can only get off the bus with it, or you'll definitely die."

What do you need?

Duan Hongyu said.

He knew what Tessa had found, but he never expected that Tessa had found the key item to leave the Abyss Endless Train.

"A ghost," Tessa said. "I need a ghost that satisfies me."

"it is good."

Duan Hongyu raised his hand and took out a strange object: "I think this is the strange object you wanted."

Upon seeing this strange object, Tessa showed a look of shock.

Because this strange object involves her biggest secret.

Unexpectedly, Duan Hongyu saw through it all.

As expected of Director Duan.

"make a deal."

Tessa accepts the strange object but gives away a real train ticket.

When Duan Hongyu saw the real ticket, he was slightly taken aback, but quickly understood.

"Did Brandon find this ticket?"

"That's right."

Tessa readily admitted, "The deal is done. How the tickets were obtained won't affect the outcome."

"I'm not that petty. Besides, this strange artifact is like a pearl hidden in my hands; only in yours can it unleash its true power," Duan Hongyu said. "Brandon's luck is truly remarkable, but—"

Duan Hongyu didn't say what came next.

Once you have a real ticket, you know you can get off the train.

"Tessa, I hope you'll consider the proposed collaboration."

Duan Hongyu said, "Having this ticket means we can get off at our destination, but it doesn't mean we've safely completed the game."

"OK."

Tessa nodded and agreed immediately.

"Attention passengers, we are about to arrive at the maintenance station, where the train will stop for 6-12 hours for necessary maintenance."

"During this period, the train's power will be shut off, the protective measures will be weakened, and some abnormalities may occur inside the carriages. Please be careful."

The broadcast started.

Have we reached the final stop so quickly?

Su Xiaoshuang looked around the luxurious carriage to make sure nothing was missing, then prepared to get off the train with her suitcase and leave.

As a professional NPC, Su Xiaoshuang believes that she played the role very professionally.

Currently, her game level is 19.

After this game ends, you should be around level 23, or maybe 24 or 25 if you're lucky.

A few minutes later, the announcement came on again: "We have arrived at the maintenance station. Passengers, please note that the train will stop here for 6-12 hours for necessary maintenance."

"An abnormality has occurred in the carriage. Passengers are advised to disembark immediately, otherwise a fatal incident may occur."

Passengers who wish to continue their journey should board the train in 5 hours.

"...

""

?

Su Xiaoshuang listened to the broadcast with some surprise.

Normally, a weird game shouldn't be this kind; shouldn't it just watch its players die?

Surprisingly, the game prompts players to get off the vehicle.

really interesting.

Of course, this does not rule out the possibility that the Abyss train wants to generate revenue for the maintenance of the underground station.

Just like other stops along the way, there will always be one or two players missing when you pass by.

The slight difference is that at the stations the Abyss Train passes through, both players and strange monsters like to eat it.

So far, no game over message has appeared.

It's highly likely that the player didn't complete the game.

Su Xiaoshuang blinked and stepped off the train with her suitcase.

The platform was filled with the strong smell of engine oil, and the surrounding area was a huge underground space.

This is the maintenance underground station. The underground space is very large, with pipes and lines covering the walls and an unidentified liquid flowing on the ground.

Those who don't know the situation would likely think these are the internal organs of some evil god.

It's really possible—

Su Xiaoshuang thought about it again.

Judging from the state of the repaired cave, if it really is the internal organs of an evil god, then the evil god may have already perished.

Otherwise, a strange train wouldn't have been allowed to pass through the sleeve body.

The concentration of pollution in the air is very high.

Su Xiaoshuang felt that throwing out a Flame of Light might ignite the entire underground cavern; just thinking about it was exciting.

"Gurgle."

A strange sound came from inside.

Su Xiaoshuang looked ahead and saw a pipe on the wall suddenly contract, as if something was rolling inside.

"This thing... could it actually be alive?"

She almost couldn't resist casting a Light Purification spell, but then she held back.

It's possible that it's not an evil god alive, but rather some kind of parasitic or bizarre entity that has appeared inside, like parasites appearing in a corpse.

Sure enough, Su Xiaoshuang noticed a layer of translucent mucus adhering to the inner wall of the pipe, with countless tiny teeth embedded in the mucus, slowly chewing something.

Ripples began to spread across the liquid on the ground, and slender tentacles could be vaguely seen protruding from the liquid before quickly retracting.

These things are indeed parasitic.

This is just a bit outrageous.

I wonder which evil god died here. It couldn't even protect its internal organs. Its death was too gruesome.

If she could travel through time, Su Xiaoshuang would definitely travel back to the time when the evil god was alive to mock him mercilessly.

"Strange, why would I have such a dangerous thought?"

Su Xiaoshuang shook her head, looked around, and searched for an exit from the maintenance underground station.

She had made up her mind that if the game ended and the message didn't pop up again, she would throw a Flame of Light at the maintenance crypt.

Tessa, Brandon, and Duan Hongyu got off the train with their tickets and entered the maintenance crypt station.

Because the cave was very dark, the three of them could only rely on the emergency lights on the walls to navigate among the pipes and wires, searching for a possible exit.

Suddenly, Tessa heard a strange sound, like the sound of metal scraping together.

"stop."

Duan Hongyu raised his hand, signaling the group to stop.

The sound came from behind a huge pipe ahead, and the group waited intently.

A few dozen seconds later, a huge mechanical creature appeared in sight. The creature's head was a giant gear, and its limbs were hydraulic devices. It looked very strange.

"What is it?"

Tessa took a step back.

She felt she couldn't quite handle this thing.

Whether it's a monster or a human, she can turn into desserts, but this kind of semi-mechanical, semi-weird thing is hard to say.

Just then, the mechanical creature spotted the three of them. It let out a piercing mechanical noise and charged at them like a mad dog.

At that moment, Brandon took out a Molotov cocktail and threw it, only to have it bitten by the mechanical creature.

boom!

With a deafening roar, the mechanical creature came to a stop.

The mechanical creature was engulfed in eerie blue flames, and a pungent odor wafted through the air. Within seconds, the massive mechanical creature was reduced to a pile of rubble.

"Hurry up!"

Duan Hongyu shouted.

The group changed direction and fled, but as they fled, they discovered a problem.

Many of the passengers who got off the train with them earlier have disappeared.

It's as if it never existed.

Or perhaps they've all left.

However, the ground was covered in blood and signs of destruction, so the situation was not so clear.

"The final destination is the maintenance dungeon station, but not everyone can get there—"

The phrase inexplicably popped into Tessa's mind, and she said, "Let's go, let's find the sign for the maintenance station in the underground cave."

So far, the silver key she obtained has not been put to any use.

This kind of highly difficult and bizarre game won't have any useless props.

The silver key must be very important.

"Inspecting the underground bus stop sign?"

Brandon said, "I remember now, over there, I think I saw Dr. Celia just now."

Dr. Celia?

Tessa and Duan Hongyu exchanged a glance; this wasn't the first time they'd heard this name.
