Chapter 173 The terrifying shadow

Thinking of this, what happened back then was so weird that she didn't dare to think about it any further.

"Wu Suowei, Wu Suowei?"

Still no response. Could he still be joking?

No, the biggest possibility is that he is not here. At this time, Bai Haotian, who usually looks like a man, has completely turned into a woman.

She was extremely panicked. She couldn't find Wu Xie, so her only thought was to find Wu Xie.

This way she can feel a little safe.

"Young Master San? Young Master San?"

Still no sound, fear spread from her feet to her mind. This feeling of fear gradually penetrated into her heart, and she barely controlled herself from letting her legs go weak.

I walked hurriedly beside the train, it seemed like I had walked a long way, but still couldn't find the way out.

"No way?"

Her gaze unconsciously returned to the train.

Rusty iron sheet, red stains.

Wu Xie's voice sounded in her mind again.

"All the carriages of the military train were welded shut with iron sheets, and blood was constantly seeping out from the seams."

Everything in front of him was exactly as Wu Xie described.

Xiaobai couldn't help but feel confused.

"Is it really what Young Master San said, Ghost Car No. 076?"

Bai Haotian's already big eyes opened even wider.

The ghost car is actually in the dead zone, what's going on?
This is horrible.

Bai Haotian took a deep breath and encouraged himself:
"All the legends that Master San has told are scary. The scariest thing in the world is not ghosts and gods, but the human heart."

With these words of encouragement, Bai Haotian's fear was relieved.

His fearless and straightforward character once again took the initiative.

She slowly came to the front of the car, where there was a gap through which she could see what was going on inside.

"Come on, little mouse, you can do it."

Bai Haotian clenched his fists, encouraged himself, then picked up the flashlight and shone it into the gap.

At first glance, there's nothing special.

The entire carriage was very empty, with nothing else except a few cargo boxes.

There was no blood or horror scenes, and the inside of the carriage was even cleaner than outside.

Bai Haotian didn't hesitate and climbed onto the carriage boldly.

The interior of the car is very quiet, several times quieter than outside. You can hear the friction sound when you step on the floor.

The shelves on the car were also empty, with nothing but cobwebs and dust that had accumulated over the years.

At this moment, Bai Haotian recalled what Wu Xie had said to her.

"The defense officer at the time was Zhang Dafoye. Zhang Dafoye ordered his men to forcibly cut open the front of the car, only to find that the carriage was full of funeral coffins and dead bodies."

Those people were all Japanese soldiers. Their deaths were extremely strange, with all of them lying face down.

dead body?
Where was the dead body? In the carriage, besides the strange atmosphere,
There is nothing unusual.

Bai Haotian walked in cautiously.

The berths in the carriage were neatly arranged. Although they were covered with a layer of dust, the quilts were still neatly folded.

Next to the berth, there was actually a phonograph.

Opposite the phonograph is a door, behind which is the second carriage.

Bai Haotian shone the flashlight on the door and began to hesitate whether to open it.

Now that we're here, we must find out what's going on.

After taking a breath, Bai Haotian gently placed his hand on the door handle and silently counted three numbers in his mind.

"boom!!!"

Unexpectedly, the door was locked with an iron chain. No matter how hard Xiaobai tried, he couldn't open the door.

There must be something strange about this carriage!
Bai Haotian thought in his heart, his eyes looking inside through the opened gap.

"If Wu Suowei and the others were here, they would definitely go in and find out what's going on."

Thinking of his idol, Bai Haotian felt that he could not retreat.

I pulled the partition door hard and found that a gap could be created.

The width of the crack in the door was just enough to allow Bai Haotian's arm to pass through.

Bai Haotian turned sideways and stretched his hand as far as possible. The iron chain, the door handle passed through by the iron chain, and then the padlock.

The texture of the lock is an old-fashioned large horizontal lock, as long as the palm of your hand.

Bai Haotian's hand could just grasp the lock, which was already rusty due to the passage of time. Bai Haotian, who had only tried it briefly before, now saw hope of entering.

She pulled the padlock hard and found that it was getting looser and looser.

"can!"

Bai Haotian couldn't help but smile.

However, the next moment, her smile froze.

Because Bai Haotian felt something suddenly grabbed her hand, she was so scared that she quickly pulled her hand out of the door.

However, the thing behind the door held her tightly. At this moment, Bai Haotian felt desperate.

Under the dual stimulation of despair and fear, Bai Haotian used all his strength to pull out.

"boom!"

I don’t know whether it was the sudden burst of power from Bai Haotian that freed him from the entanglement of that thing, or whether that thing let go of itself.

Bai Haotian only felt that his hand had left the control of that thing, and then his body moved backwards uncontrollably and finally hit the wall of the carriage.

My back is burning with pain.

However, Bai Haotian simply had no time to think about these things.

Because, the door that was originally tightly closed actually slowly opened at this time.
Bai Haotian took out a dagger for self-defense from his pocket with a look of horror on his face.

That thing is coming out, and I'm dead.
No, I still have a lot of things to do.

At this time, Bai Haotian already regretted unlocking the door.

Not pulled apart.

But now the lock is open, someone must have opened it.

Bai Haotian calmed his mind and silently said in his heart, "The most terrifying thing in this world is not ghosts, but human hearts."

Then, not knowing where he got the courage from, he reached out and slowly pushed open the door.

"Come out!"

As soon as Bai Haotian entered the door, he shone a strong flashlight at the corner behind the door.

However, there was nothing!

There was no one, no ghost, just a rusty iron chain hanging quietly behind the door.

This result made Bai Haotian happy and disappointed. She had no choice but to continue exploring inside.

The environment in this carriage is similar to that of the first carriage. There are several shelves, and the items on the shelves have been cleared.

However, when the flashlight swept towards the back half of the carriage, Bai Haotian was stunned.

There was actually a coffin placed there.

The coffin was of simple style, carved with many exquisite patterns. There were four iron chains as thick as thumbs welded on its four corners.

The iron chains are welded to the four walls of the carriage, fixing the entire coffin firmly to the carriage.

Bai Haotian wanted to get closer to take a look, but was blocked outside by an iron net. The iron net divided the entire carriage into two halves: one half was the coffin, and the other half was the shelf.

The patterns on the coffin were so exquisite that Bai Haotian was deeply attracted at just one glance.

Bai Haotian found a corner on the iron net where the rust was most obvious and tried to pry open the iron net with his seven claws.

"Ding~"

Suddenly, the wall clock rang.

Bai Haotian was so frightened that he was trembling. The courage he had just mustered disappeared completely in the echoing of the bell.

"Young Master San, Wu Suowei.
Bai Haotian wanted to leave here, but just after she took two steps, the coffin behind her gave her a sense of oppression and she dared not act rashly.

"The scariest thing in the world is not ghosts and gods, but the human heart!"

"The scariest thing in the world is not ghosts and gods, but the human heart!"

Bai Haotian didn't dare to look back. He could only close his eyes and repeat this sentence over and over again in his mouth.

This sentence was like a spell, giving Bai Haotian courage again.

She turned her head sharply, and saw nothing there again. Bai Haotian was about to collapse mentally.

I clearly felt that there was something, but I couldn't see it. This feeling of powerlessness in the face of the unknown was really torturous.

Fear made her lean against the wall of the car unconsciously.

In such an environment, only having something to lean on behind you can bring a little sense of security.

boom! ! !
A dark shadow suddenly crashed through the car window next to Bai Haotian, shattering her last bit of sense of security.

Bai Haotian was so scared that he was like a headless fly. He didn't care about anything and ran into the carriage for his life.

She could see clearly out of the corner of her eye that it was not a person, but something like a black mist.

He knocked over several shelves in succession and chased after him.

Bai Haotian's screams and the huge crash of a black shadow knocking over the shelves spread throughout the entire train.

Bai Haotian ran desperately, and the shadow followed closely. Just as he closed a door, the shadow broke through the window and entered the next second.

She was so scared that she turned around and continued running.

However, before she could take two steps, another group of dark shadows surrounded her from the front.

There were two dark shadows sandwiched in front and behind, and thick iron plates of the carriage on both sides.

Bai Haotian was suddenly trapped in a dead end with no way up to heaven or down to earth.

She was now like a lamb to be slaughtered, standing there trembling.

Two dark shadows were getting closer and closer, and Bai Haotian could only hold a flashlight in one hand and a dagger in the other and wave it back and forth continuously.

Am I going to die here today?
I don't want it
At this moment, Bai Haotian suddenly felt his feet go empty and he freely fell off this terrifying train without any warning.

Bai Haotian had no idea what was happening. He just closed his eyes and screamed in fear.

It was not until the next moment that a familiar voice made her stop struggling.

"Don't scream, don't scream, it's us!"

Bai Haotian opened her eyes in disbelief, and it was Wu Suowei and Wu Xie who had been separated from her before.

Beside Wu Suowei and Wu Xie, there was actually another person wearing the same Warehouse 11 uniform.
Bai Haotian was so excited that he was about to cry. He said with a choked voice: "Young Master San, Wu Suowei..."

Wu Suowei didn't have time to say hello to her. He closed the iron plate on the aisle of the train and pulled the two of them through the tunnel under the train.

The danger was not over yet. The dark figure on the train had already spotted them and quickly chased them into the tunnel, following closely behind them.

"Let's go, let's go."

The four of them were traveling through the narrow tunnel, but their speed was completely inferior to that on the ground.

Seeing that the black shadow behind him was about to catch up, the man who suddenly appeared with Wu Suowei and the others turned around and sprinkled a handful of powder at the black shadow.

The black shadow seemed to be very afraid of the powder. Once it came into contact with it, its pursuit speed slowed down significantly.

"Hurry up!"

The four of them took the opportunity to speed up and quickly distance themselves from the black shadow.

As they ran, a mysterious man suddenly appeared and closed the gates in the tunnel.

Obviously, he was very familiar with this tunnel: "Quick, quick, this way, come this way."

At the end of the run, the four of them came to a basement.

The mysterious man slammed the basement door shut, then panted and said, "This is my home. You are safe now."

Only then did Bai Haotian have time to look at the mysterious man who appeared with Su Ye and the others.

To be precise, this is a middle-aged man, about 40 or 50 years old, with a sloppy beard and wearing clothes from Eleven Warehouse.

The clothes were not new, they were a bit worn and looked like they had been worn for quite a while.

The basement is not big, with a bed, two tables, a chair, and some simple daily necessities.

It's about ten square meters.

Bai Haotian didn't dare to ask who this person was, so he could only vent all his emotions on Wu Suowei.

"Wu Suowei, Young Master San, where on earth did you go?"

Wu Suowei rolled his eyes and said, "I was just about to ask you, why are you gone when I turned around?"

"so I……"

Bai Haotian wanted to explain, but the uncle had already made his bed and said, "Come on, sit down and take a rest. Let's sit down and talk.

"Uncle Kuan. Thank you so much for what you did just now. If it weren't for you, we might have been caught up."

Wu Xie sat on the bed and sincerely thanked the uncle.

Wu Xie's address to uncle immediately reminded Bai Haotian of someone.

"Uncle Kuan? Are you Uncle Kuan?" she asked uncertainly.

Bai Haotian's question immediately made Uncle Kuan focus his attention on her.

He looked Bai Haotian up and down and felt that he looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him before, so he said in confusion:
"you are?"

Wu Suowei's eyes swept back and forth between the two of them.

Both of them looked familiar, but unsure.

"What? Do you know each other?" Wu Xie asked curiously.

The more Bai Haotian looked, the more certain he was that the Uncle Kuan in front of him was the Uncle Kuan he knew when he was a child. He happily took the initiative to say, "I am Bai Haotian."

Seeing that he still couldn't recognize her, she quickly said, "Little mouse."

Uncle Kuan was even more confused. Bai Haotian glared at Wu Suowei. Wu Suowei had given her many nicknames in the past few days, which made her confused. She quickly explained: "Xiao Bai, from the Bai family, do you remember?"

Oh, Uncle Kuan finally got some impression, and said with a look of sudden enlightenment: "You are the tomboy."

Bai Haotian looked at Uncle Kuan who was laughing loudly and Wu Suowei who was snickering beside him. She was immediately anxious because her soft spot was touched: "I'm not a tomboy. I'm not a tomboy now."

"Oh, you've grown so big." Uncle Kuan said with a smile.

"What was that thing I saw on the train just now?" Bai Haotian said with a sad face.

Uncle Kuan immediately explained: "I don't know either. Those black shadows seem to be a kind of insect fog. They will attack people if they encounter them."

Wu Suowei and Wu Xie thought they were meeting old friends, so they did not disturb them from reminiscing about the past.

Meeting Uncle Kuan here, Bai Haotian was very suspicious: "Kuan Quan, how come you live in the dead zone? I thought you had left Warehouse 11 a long time ago."

Hearing Bai Haotian's doubts, he sighed as if he had done something in the past that made him regret: "It's a long story."

"When I was young, I was ignorant and made a mistake. At first, I didn't want to live anymore."

"After hearing the old man from Warehouse 11 talk about this dead zone, I decided to end my life here."

"I used to study archaeology, and there is a lot of information stored here, so I have been living here, reading books and studying the information."

"Warehouse 11 regularly sends food and supplies down. Although these shadows are troublesome, I have found a way to coexist peacefully with them."

"So what are you doing here?"
