No. 121 Pink Skull
Qiao An'an was so scared that she didn't dare to make any noise, fearing that she would be swallowed alive and skinned alive by the monster, just like the previous two days.
Lu Xing leaned tightly against the back of the seat, pretending to be calm, breathing slowly like a dead man.
“Damn it, what is this Rule Bending Livestream doing? How can so many monsters rush into the train?” Lu Xing cursed inwardly.
“Damn it! This selection prompt system is useless at such a critical moment. What should I do? What should I do?” Listening to the terrifying chewing sounds around him, Lu Xing panicked.
Faced with the sudden change, Lu Xing had no clue what to do next.
“Or, should I try to leave?” The thought of running away appeared in Lu Xing's mind.
Lu Xing placed his hand on the seat belt buckle, making a gesture to release the seat belt.
【Ding! Host selection error!】
The selection prompt system abruptly issued an error message.
Hearing the error message, Lu Xing immediately let go and dared not think about unbuckling the seat belt again.
“It seems the seat belt cannot be unbuckled.” Lu Xing got the correct answer.
“It seems I can only wait.” Lu Xing smiled wryly.
Slowing down his breathing, his thin body leaned tightly against the back of the seat, waiting for the crisis to end.
…
Feeling that the first sacrifice was about to end, Feng Xiyue lightly flicked her jade fingers. Instantly, a pale pink skeleton appeared abruptly in her seat.
“Little Yanxi, enjoy yourself. I'm leaving.” Feng Xiyue said goodbye softly.
Her voice carried a hint of tenderness, but it also made people feel a little creepy.
Afterward, the white clothes on Feng Xiyue's body suddenly turned into bright blood red, her beautiful eyes also turned into a pair of blood-colored pupils, and her long black hair fell like a waterfall on her shoulders. The whole person was like a strange female ghost.
Her figure slowly dissipated and disappeared into the train.
At the same time, all the strangeness in the train receded, and the entire train fell into silence again…
“Crack!” The lights flickered.
The train regained its light!
— “Damn, it's finally over. We weren't wiped out. That's great.”
— “Holy crap, why are there so many skeletons!”
— “The entire carriage is full of skeletons. It really scared me.”
— “What exactly did we just experience?”
The audience in the livestream became active again.
— “Sister Chu's face is so pale. What did she just see? Wuwu… (covering mouth and crying JPG)”
— “Holy crap! When did a pink skeleton appear next to her?”
— “Holy crap, the beauty from just now is gone!”
— “Beauty? Why can't I remember the appearance of that woman just now!”
— “Was there someone next to her before?”
The audience's memory of Feng Xiyue began to blur. They only vaguely remembered that there should have been a woman sitting in that seat, that the woman was very beautiful, and then, they couldn't remember anything else.
Chu Yanxi looked at the pink skeleton next to her in confusion, completely unable to understand what Feng Xiyue meant by leaving this pink skeleton behind.
“System, is there anything special about this pink skeleton?”
【Di, Host, this is just a man-made calcium carbonate skeleton. It's just a decoration with no use. Don't worry about it.】
“Decoration…” Chu Yanxi nodded.
She didn't delve into it further…
In this sacrifice, 60% of the chosen ones on the entire death train regrettably left the stage. The proportion of withdrawals in carriage seven was relatively small, with only 30% of the chosen ones turning into bones.
Through the livestreams of the survivors, most of the audience was scared out of their wits by the tragic state of the Rule Bending Livestream. The timid ones went to change their pants.
Thousands of people boarded the death train, and before they even saw the conductor, almost half of them had left the stage. This terrifying elimination rate really gave the audience a blow.
The people in the livestream still don't know which rules these people violated.
Experts, strange analysts, and super think tanks from various countries discussed it for a long time, but still had no clue.
“Yan… Sister Yanxi, is that person really dead?” Qiao An'an looked at Chu Yanxi with a breakdown of emotions.
Chu Yanxi glanced at the pink skeleton next to her, neither nodding nor shaking her head, letting Qiao An'an imagine it herself.
“Wuwuwu…” Qiao An'an covered her mouth and cried.
Although she had experienced life and death before, she had the ability to resurrect, so she didn't feel much except for the intense pain.
This time, Qiao An'an truly felt the fear of death for the first time. A moment ago, she was still a living person, but now she is a skeleton.
The other surviving chosen ones were pale and their eyes clearly still held fear, obviously not yet recovered from the crisis just now.
Chu Yanxi wasn't much better either, but because she had the plot memory, her condition was much better than others.
The reason why Chu Yanxi's face was pale was entirely because she was frightened by Feng Xiyue's transformation when she left.
[Dear passengers, the crisis is over. Please do not unbuckle your seat belts. The train is about to restart.]
The cold broadcasting sound of the death train sounded.
The chosen ones looked at the carriage door in front, silent… still silent!
… … …
On the other side, at the initial level:
The fans who had watched Chu Yanxi's livestream and recovered first ran to the living room at the fastest speed, grabbed the kitten in the living room, and cleanly completed their act of killing in the strange world.
However, there was nothing. The kitten turned into starlight and disappeared into the living room.
“Why isn't there anything? How can there be nothing? Chu Yanxi clearly opened the item like this.” A young man sat on the sofa in despair.
Without the mushroom identification card, what would he, who knew nothing about mushrooms, do?!
— “I'm going, why didn't anything come out?”
— “Could it be that the posture is wrong?”
— “I remember that Chu Yanxi gave the kitten a loving touch at the beginning. These people didn't. Could that be the reason?”
— “Maybe…”
— “There's only one chance, sigh!”
The livestream's barrage discussed various opinions, all analyzing the reason why Chu Yanxi obtained the lucky item card.
Experts from various countries are also studying the lucky item card, but they haven't come to any conclusions.
“Sigh! We can't communicate with Chu Yanxi. Based on the current evidence, we can't deduce the appearance mechanism of the lucky item card at all.” An old expert shook his head helplessly.
“Who says otherwise?” Another expert shook his head helplessly.
The moment the Rule Bending Livestream appeared, the experts began to analyze the content of the livestream, trying to find a way to crack the level.
Unfortunately, the livestream revealed too little information, and the experts made little progress. Their understanding of the mushroom picking trial was similar to that of the netizens.
They only knew that it was best not to turn off the lights at night, and that there were many poisonous mushrooms, and that the varieties were completely different from the mushroom varieties on Azure Star, making them difficult to identify.
…
Chu Yanxi thought quietly. According to the development of the plot, after the first terrifying sacrifice ended, the conductor would appear!
… …
Outside the death train, a group of strange zombies and ghosts stood in the distance, watching the departing train with greed in their eyes.
After the first sacrifice ended, the strange zombies and ghosts reluctantly walked towards the depths of the mist.
Feng Xiyue stood in the void and glanced around, randomly choosing a direction and mixing in with them… …
