Chapter 121: Escaping from Arcanum Train (XIV)

Chapter 121 - Escaping from Arcanum Train (XIV)

Editor: Kitty

The monster finally vomited out the key to carriage No.9. In a pile of blood-red vomit, there was something bright and conspicuous. Wolf was the first to find it. He casually took a disposable chopstick from a table near him, squatted beside the pile of disgusting vomit, and after stirring around, finally got the key.

There, the key was now hanging on his disposable chopsticks.

But Wolf didn’t intend to open the door. He shook the key until Owl became impatient, grabbed Wolf’s arm, and took the key away.

The key was covered with vomit, but Owl still looked expressionless. Maybe he was completely unable to feel anything. He calmly went to the toilet to wash it, and afterwards, he naturally opened the door. The people spontaneously gathered behind Owl while they waited for him to open the door. Behind them, the monster was left crying miserably although it couldn’t vomit anything out again.

The door to carriage No.9 was opened easily. Owl pulled the key out of the keyhole, and the crowd headed for carriage No.8. But something horrible happened at this point in time.

Because Owl was the one who opened the door, he was the first to advance into carriage No.8. Wolf followed behind him, and Black cat walked quietly as the third one in line, followed by Crow, the last one being Two-headed snake.

The connecting corridor of the train was very narrow, and it could only allow two people to squeeze through at once. Therefore, Crow and the others tacitly cooperated as they walked to the next carriage one after the other. At this time, when Crow, who was the second from the back, had just stepped through the door to carriage No.8, he suddenly heard a shrill howl from behind!

It was the monster that was howling. Its howl was so shrill that it was hard on their ears. The howl really sounded awfully terrible, but because the way it howled was so sharp and harsh, Crow couldn’t help looking back. At this time, Crow could only see a blood-red object hovering in the air. In less than a second, Two-headed snake, who was standing behind him, groaned and swept the baseball bat backwards.

The monster was swept a few meters away by Two-headed snake with the bat, but it soon got up and rushed forward with inhuman speed! If one looked closely, one would find that the monster had completely morphed. Although it was still as thin as a stick, its skin seemed to split and flip inside-out! The monster now appeared bloody, fleshy, and intolerable to the eye!

The monster did not target anyone except Two-headed snake, who was standing at the very back. Maybe it was the smell of blood that made it go berserk. It rushed forward like a mad dog, revealing its sharp teeth covered with blood!

The speed of the monster was too fast. Two-headed snake could not react in time. As soon as he raised the bat in his hand and wanted to resist, the monster had already rushed forward. The monster was actually very smart. It did not aim its jaws at other places, but it stared at Two-headed snake’s neck and bit down!

Two-headed snake instinctively fought back with the baseball bat in his hand, so the monster bit down on the baseball bat instead. However, the monster was not discouraged. It grabbed Two-headed snake’s shoulders with its claws and pressed its whole body on Two-headed snake!

It bit the bat in Two-headed snake’s hands while its claws grabbed onto his shoulders tightly, and as if it was going to bite the bat off, it hung on the body of Two-headed snake!

Two-headed snake was shocked by this incident. One of his feet was unstable, and he fell on his back directly. The monster lay sprawled near to the front of the door as it flaunted its power. Crow, who was next to him, immediately took the bat from the man in front of him and hit the monster’s head with that bat.

But the hit was likely not strong enough, so the monster did not feel hurt at all. It merely raised its head and howled at Crow. Then it looked downwards at Two-headed snake. Its extremely sharp teeth soon chewed off half of the bat that was in Two-headed snake’s hands. In passing, it bit the entire bat and threw it away. Two-headed snake was stunned, and his neck was exposed to the sharp fangs of the monster!

Two-headed snake could only choke the monster’s neck with all his might to avoid its approaching fangs. He had no doubt that once the ugly monster bit down on him, it could definitely bite off his neck.

Crow was confused for a moment. In that instant, he could not think of any plan to save Two-headed snake from the monster’s fangs. His strike had been blocked by the monster, and it didn’t respond to him at all. At this time, Wolf, who was over at the other carriage, suddenly called out, “Close the door and leave him.”

“How can we leave him in a lurch now?!” Owl immediately rebuked what the other had said, and he was in disbelief hearing Wolf’s words.

“Just wait for the monster to bite his neck and rush into carriage No.8! Then we can all die with that snake!” Wolf loudly hollered with a cold smile on his face.

Crow stepped backwards and retreated some distance away from Two-headed snake and the monster. His heart was filled with the fear of the unknown.

Do you want to leave him? In such a place.

Wolf was right. Although the few of them looked very fierce, they were hardly able to fight back in the face of such monsters, especially since they could come back alive! In particular, this monster had gone berserk for some reason they were not aware of. If it was really allowed to enter carriage No.8, it was very likely that this group of people would die here.

In this case, why should they not sacrifice an individual for the collective? Only by leaving behind Two-headed snake would the others be able to survive.

Two-headed snake, who fell to the ground and struggled to resist the monster, seemed to feel something and took a glance at Crow.

It was just a glance.

Crow froze momentarily and finally squatted down to grab the monster’s hair, trying to get it off Two-headed snake. The monster struggled and howled, and the harsh sound reverberated through the whole carriage. Then, the monster seemed to be enraged, suddenly let go of Two-headed snake, and rushed forward to Crow!

Black cat, who was behind Crow, sharply took a look at it. He placed his hand around Crow’s waist and pulled him backward. Then he raised his foot and kicked the monster. The monster fell back a few meters, but soon, it jerked up and pounced towards Crow at a terrifying speed. At the same time, somebody pulled the connecting door of No.9 carriage and shut the door seconds before the monster rushed towards them.

Only the sound of the monster pounding the door and making thumping noises could be heard.

It was not known if the sound insulation of the connecting door was too good. After that, the whole carriage quieted down.

“You’re going to get us all f*cked up!” Wolf kicked the door. He turned towards Crow and angrily shouted at him.

“Two-headed snake is still in there!” Crow’s face was pale, and one could see by looking at his eyes that he was flustered.

“Do you still have the strength to save a stranger? Are you nuts?!”

But Crow seemed to have not heard Wolf’s words, and his fingertips were shaking, “Two-headed snake is still inside…… He will die.”

“So what if he dies? Do you really think this place is just a game?”

Wolf was very dissatisfied with Crow, and his tone was disgusted. Just as he was about to continue and say more, Owl came over and pulled Crow backwards. He glared at Wolf fiercely, and with a sneer, he said, “If you were the one who was hindered by the monster just now, could you still say such nonsense?”

Wolf paused for a while, his face appearing gloomy, and replied, “That would only show that I’m not lucky. Life and death are predestined by fate!”

“Well, I wish you luck. Next time, if you are in trouble, there will be no one here to save you.”

Wolf did not want to reveal his vulnerable side, so he darkly chuckled at Owl: “Don’t worry. I will definitely pull you down together with me when I die.”

One of the five people was gone, and they had fallen out completely. Although Owl left the key there when he opened the door, he found that when he tried to open the door to carriage No.9 again—maybe the carriages were set up in a manner where it was impossible for them to return after opening a door.

Two-headed snake remained in carriage No.9 where he had woken up and was never to leave.

Crow was dispirited, and when he arrived at carriage No.8, he went to sit on a sofa seat. Owl comforted him for a while. Seeing that there was no response, Owl no longer wasted time and began to take the initiative to investigate carriage No.8.

This time, only Black cat continued to cooperate with Owl to investigate carriage No.8. Crow sat there motionless, and no one expected Wolf to help them. They would already thank the heavens if he was not causing any trouble.

Carriage No.8 was as simple as all even-numbered carriages. Owl and Black cat found a dead animal in the corner of a sofa.

The corpse of a wolf.

“This time, it’s my turn to die?” Mr. Wolf also found Owl, who was at the side studying the animal. He came to see a wolf lying on the ground, and he could not help laughing.

It was a common gray wolf, and it had died strangely. Its claw actually created a huge opening on its own chest, and after stuffing its claws into the cavity, it died.

Owl raised his head and looked at Wolf with a sneer: “The first dead animal we found was a black cat, and the second is a wolf. What will be next? An owl?”

“It’s possible. You see, since I’m dead, how can you continue to be alive and kicking?” Wolf looked like he was seeking a beating.

Owl was unable to bear it. He drew a knife out and jumped at Wolf, who carefreely and leisurely avoided his attack. They gestured at each other for a while, but in the end, they did not start fighting because Crow, who stood over at the other side, seemed to have accepted the current situation. He suddenly stood up and walked around the two people to the front of the connecting door of carriage No.8. The hint on the door was as follows—

[You seem to be missing one person]

[The one who is going to die next, only the murderer should know]

[The murderer who killed Black cat also came here]

[He told the wolf a secret]

[So the wolf died while the key is in its heart]

“This damn train…” Crow gazed at the paragraph of words, and his face darkened.

Owl also went to where Crow was, looked at the paragraph of words, and said, “Ah, yes, I feel these hints provided on the door seem to always know what we will do next.”
