Chapter 259 Card Game 3
She drew aside the curtains and looked outside.
All you can see is a desert that stretches as far as the eye can see.
The trains kept leaving.
Four hours...Will the real danger occur when getting off the bus? Or maybe the place where you get off the bus is more dangerous than on the bus.
Zhu Yue felt that it was most likely the former.
"What are you looking at?"
It was that young man again, talking to Zhu Yue across the aisle.
Zhu Yue clearly remembered that the person sitting in this seat was not her.
And with the Heart Refining Technique, she can't hide the thoughts and hearts of ordinary people.
Even if her eyes were looking out the window, she could monitor the emotions of everyone in the car.
But before the boy spoke, she didn't notice that there was a different person beside her.
Soon, she found out the reason.
The Heart Refining Technique cannot probe into his mind.
No matter how hard she tried, there was nothing. It was like her eyes saw this person, but in reality it was just air.
Her thoughts flowed quickly, and to the boy, it seemed that she only looked out the window for a few more seconds.
"Wondering if we can get out of the desert?"
The boy smiled, his teeth were snow-white and sharp.
"Of course, the real danger is not here."
He did it on purpose.
Zhu Yue discovered the boy's intention. She didn't know whether he really knew something or was just pretending to know something.
Whatever the possibility, her interest was piqued.
"Can you tell me what you know?"
The boy smiled even more. "There's nothing that can't be said. I've said these words to many people, but those who have heard them will forget them quickly."
Zhu Yue looked at him, as if expecting something.
In the next few minutes, she heard a fantastic story from the boy's mouth.
"...You mean, we are in a copy now?"
"Well, the rule of this copy is to kill without rules. In the next four hours, only those who survive to the end and successfully pass the level can really leave and return to our original world."
Gao Shang's eyes were deep: "I am not afraid to tell you this because I want to verify whether you are a person like me, or just an NPC in this copy."
It turned out to be the case.
Zhu Yue thought about her previous different reactions from the people around her when she saw the corpse.
Gao Shang must have noticed this, so he came to test it out.
She should thank him instead.
Zhu Yue had never experienced such a special world.
As soon as this thought came to my mind, screams were heard again from the car behind me.
Zhu Yue stood up and looked in the direction where the sound came from.
"Let's go and take a look together?" Gao Shang suggested.
Zhu Yue nodded and followed.
Five more people died, also in the toilet.
In the two toilets at the head and tail, three people died in one and two people died in the other.
The time of their deaths was very close.
Inside the carriage, the passengers became even more panicked. After this, I’m afraid no one would dare to go to the toilet again.
After brushing past the flight attendant again, Zhu Yue returned to her seat.
The way these five people died was very similar to that of the young woman.
Only the young man died differently!
The only special thing about him was that he was the first one to be killed.
Zhu Yue believes that the murderer is most likely not a human.
The toilet was such a narrow space, and five people died at once. They entered at almost different times.
I also entered under the sight of many people.
No matter how you look at it, this death is unnatural.
Reality is not a reasoning game, and Zhu Yue has no obsession to get to the bottom of the matter and get the truth.
What she cares most about is avoiding crisis.
The radio on the train sounded, and the attendant's gentle voice kept comforting the passengers, but people's fear was still not calmed.
The atmosphere was uneasy everywhere, and many passengers angrily demanded to get off the bus immediately!
"Open the door and let us out! Anyone who wants to ride in this car can ride! I want to go home!"
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!"
"There's a murderer on this bus, so stop saying it's useless! If we can't find the murderer, who knows if we'll die soon! I'm going to file a complaint against you!"
The ignorant children were affected and screamed almost at the same time, and the carriage was in chaos.
Gao Shang also came back, and when he saw Zhu Yue looking at him, he grinned. "Hey, do you remember me?"
Zhu Yue was slightly startled, "I still remember what you said."
Gao Shang chuckled twice.
"Then you have to be careful. The death rate in this instance is quite high."
Zhu Yue nodded and thanked him. She noticed that when Gao Shang saw the corpse, there was no panic or fear in his eyes, and he remained calm.
It seemed that he had no intention of disguising himself, so Zhu Yue was clearly visible.
After half an hour, the atmosphere quieted down.
The flight attendant pushed in a dining cart with several layers of shelves on it, which were filled with boxed meals, water, snacks, instant noodles, etc.
Perhaps because of the murder, the flight attendants’ sales pitches sounded a bit muffled and incoherent.
There were still more than three hours until the next stop, and passengers who didn't bring any food were picking up food from the carts.
"Give me a bottle of water—"
"You dare to drink water! What if you want to go to the toilet later?"
"Yes, yes, yes, no more. I don't want any instant noodles either. Just a few packets of biscuits!"
The toilet has become a forbidden area that no one dares to mention.
Zhu Yue was not hungry yet, and even if she was, she was not going to eat the food in the car.
Perhaps it was due to her indifference, Gao Shang no longer spoke to her. He seemed to have found another person of his kind and went to another carriage.
Zhu Yue didn't care about this.
The incident of killing without rules had affected her to some extent. At least at this moment, she didn't want to leave her seat at all.
At least I feel safer sitting among the crowd.
She hoped that she could blend into the crowd and not have any sense of existence.
Her instinct told her that it would be best not to draw any attention to herself.
Another scream rang out!
Zhu Yue looked at the time on her watch. Another hour had passed. This frequency was too fast.
It's really disturbing.
The broadcast sounded again, reassuring passengers that they would be leaving the station in two hours at most.
Perhaps because of this, the people in the car stopped making any noise and everyone was on high alert, waiting to get off the car.
This time, Zhu Yue did not go to the murder scene. A passenger in the same car went to see the murder scene. After returning, he shouted, "Six more people died! Do you know how they died? They were killed by chopsticks! The disposable chopsticks on the train! They pierced through their necks and died on the spot!"
All the passengers who heard it exclaimed in surprise.
Disposable chopsticks? Even a child could break them with a little effort, so how could they kill people?
"Did they all die together?" someone asked fearfully.
The man's lips trembled. "No, no, they were not from the same compartment. They said they were eating a box lunch, but they died while eating. Chopsticks were stuck in their necks. Their hands were on the chopsticks, as if they had poked it in with the chopsticks themselves!"
Zhu Yue touched her arm, and her hair almost stood up.
