  Chapter 20 Prologue, Strange Journey

The railway once was the most prestigious tourist railway in the entire country ,none of them.

The iron-wood tourist train slowly drove across the sea of ​​flowers, and the gentle breeze rolled up countless petals, reflecting the dazzling demeanor under the dazzling sunlight.

Especially when the mountains are foggy, the faintly discernible sea of ​​flowers in the long mist, and finally the breakthrough mountain mist. Looking back, countless colorful colors connect Heaven and Earth. The shocking scenery is the top ten in the original empire. One of the attractions.

Countless literati, inkmen and tourists are full of praise for this railway. Many people think this is the most beautiful railway ever. I don’t know how many people have left romantic and beautiful legends on this railway.

But all this went into nothing with the natural disasters.

The mudslides that swept past and the coming one after another flood destroyed the sea of ​​flowers and romance, leaving only the dim calamity.

Nowadays, during the long journey of this railway, visitors can only accompany the huge sandy beach composed of dark gray and brown silt and gravel.

The rotten plants and the silt-up mud pond exudes a faint smell. After this rainy season, there is no comfort, but a nauseating greasiness.

When the railroad track that was barely cleared creaked forward, the cold fog surrounding it was like a crazy woman catching a fancier, full of dampness and despair.

Even when I took a deep breath in the carriage, all I could feel was a depressed breath flowing in my lungs, and when I spit it out, there was a strange nausea. This caused the three men who looked slightly retro to frown.

“It’s really hard to believe that there will be a city here… I thought such a city would have disappeared in history.”

I looked out the window dimly and again. The chaotic scenery, said frowned, a young man with sword eyebrows and stars.

And a slightly melancholic middle-aged man beside him looked at the mist passing by the window, shook the head somewhat helplessly.

“He was not like this when I left. In the last ten years, he has been ruined a lot.”

“Just keep your voice down.”

Opposite the two, the old man in robes and beard murmured.

“Strive to get the girl out of this town as soon as possible. The national spirit technique academy is very urgent. This kind of good seedlings can no longer be rotten here. And there may be more weird incidents. Don’t deal with it less, and don’t let her worry about the future.”

“Understand.”

The other two are nodded.

Then, the desktop fell silent again. Everyone just looked at each other, it seemed that there was some invisible force hindering them from speaking.

The creaking sound of driving on the rails is not sleepy, but rather like a scream, making everyone’s spirits clearer and more painful.

The train that travelled across the sea of ​​flowers to heaven decades ago has now become a hell-like itinerary. The three of them glanced at each other, kept their mouths shut, and turned their gazes into the carriage, but the effect became more embarrassing.

The interior decoration of the decaying car, the crowd in small groups curled up, the staff whose joints are swollen in the cold and cold tide, Both eyes are spiritless, a scene of dilapidated depression comes into view.

Whenever I think of the end of this journey, the population struggling with natural disasters and cols will feel a sense of wild terror more and more.

Civilization is so fragile and weak in the face of the power of natural disasters, and the so-called scenery is also a fleeting decline.

The panic of being caught in the wild makes the people who originally planned to shoot and invest all retreat. And the continuous aftershocks and geomagnetic interference over the years have also invalidated the infrastructure construction.

Except for those who survived in the local area, this city has died in a broad sense.

On the passing trains, people left with hopeful smiles, but the train on the way was lifeless.

Just like the former sea of ​​flowers covered with mud, all the enthusiasm of this city was buried in the mud following the earthquake, becoming dull and numb.

“…This is really a warm welcome ceremony.”

The melancholy middle-aged man glanced at the silent travelers, subconsciously tightening his clothes.

The three of them are all teachers of the National Spirit Technique Academy. This time they are reporting with the upper level, intending to recruit a training genius who lives here.

It is said that only by relying on unorthodox, they can explore the ability to release breath, shock, supernatural power, etc., which often require systematic exercise for more than half a year. It’s just because of my relationship that I stayed in this city.

However, as the current situation continues to deteriorate, the National Spirit Technique Academy must also gather those spirit technique geniuses who are left out. Otherwise, staying outside all the time, I’m afraid something hard to describe will happen. Not only is not responsible for people, but also not responsible for themselves.

In my impression, this seems to be just going to a tourist town more than ten years ago and looking for a job as a female student. The three people mentioned above are meant to be on the safe side. In theory, this is a journey of paid vacation.

But the sights I saw along the way made people feel inexplicably depressed and panicked.

Obviously I didn’t feel any crisis or terror, but it was like a boulder pressed in my heart, which made my chest feel stuffy and uncomfortable.

“No, let me ask.”

I couldn’t bear this depressing atmosphere, the youngest of the three stood up.

Regardless of the slight dissuasion of the other two people, the youngster walked to the outside among the passengers sitting in small groups and showed a smile.

“Hey, brothers, ask me something. Do you know what major event has happened recently?”

“…”

No matter it is well-dressed The upper-class people, or office workers in suits and shoes, or construction workers in construction site clothing, did not reply.

Silent people are scattered and secretly scattered in the carriage, Both eyes are spiritless staring at the ground under their feet, shaking their bodies with the shaking of the vehicle, like a monotonous background symbol. This dull and secretive atmosphere makes the inquiring person seem like a stranger.

Some of the youths who were a little frustrated fly into a rage out of humiliation, reaching out and pushing a handful of workers who seemed to be the most plainly dressed. But before he could speak, the worker’s face changed in an instant.

As if the young man’s touch was a toxin, the worker’s face instantly changed so hard to look like it had fallen into the dye tank, and he suddenly lowered his head and vomited.

‘Oh–‘

The sound of nausea came from all directions instantly, like an infection.

Obviously nothing came out, but the exaggerated appearance seemed to tear his own organs together.

Those people’s throats and chests are floating up and down exaggeratedly, but the whole body is strangely nailed straight, like an invisible nail that penetrates directly from the top of the head, and is nailed to the chair along the spine. superior.

… There is definitely a problem with this ghost place.

Looking at the expressionless man who bowed his head and retched, the three of them looked at each other, and they all felt a chill from the cudal vertebrae hitting their heads.
