Apocalypse: I Build A Doomsday Train-Chapter 857 - 360: Subjugated (Part 3)

Old Ghost didn’t expect Lin Xian to suddenly strike, his pupils contracted, and a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes.

Bang!

The sound of a gunshot rang out in the carriage, but no bullet was fired—it was a blank round. Yet, as the gun sounded, Old Ghost, who had been sitting on the chair shackled, suddenly disappeared, leaving only the empty chair behind.

"What, he disappeared?!" KIKI exclaimed.

Monica instinctively narrowed her eyes, scanning around, finding that Old Ghost had indeed vanished without a trace.

"Damn, can he transfer through space?!" Zhou Lei was dumbfounded.

But Lin Xian, seeing this scene, remained calm and said leisurely, "Transfer through space? This guy is just sitting right in front of us."

After speaking, he raised his hand and devoured the handgun, then grabbed at the void. Zzz! The fallen shackles suddenly erupted with high-voltage arcs, instantly causing a transparent gray-blue human figure to flicker briefly, and Old Ghost reappeared, with a horrified expression. This time, his gaze no longer had the panic and teasing from before, but instead looked at Lin Xian with extreme caution, trembling as he spoke

"You... how do you know?"

"Stop pretending." Lin Xian said in a deep voice, "If lighting the candle can contain, then this candle belongs to Zhou Lei. It seems you’ve been tricking others into lighting the candle to create some kind of intimidation control. The real containment method is definitely not like that, am I right."

Actually, Lin Xian found it strange from the beginning that even though Zhou Lei picked up the candle, it was controlled by someone else. Could there be some hierarchical relationship with the Taboo Item? This logic simply didn’t make sense.

Hearing this, Zhou Lei suddenly panicked, realizing, "Damn it, this bastard is even sneakier than I thought. I really believed he had some special method to control the Taboo Item. Turns out the candle was actually his in the first place, damn it!"

Old Ghost now looked at Lin Xian suspiciously, his expression suddenly anxious, while trying to break free from the shackles and said

"Lin, we have no grievance or enmity, right? Better let me go quickly. Otherwise, when our people come, you won’t be able to keep those three Taboo Items on your vehicle!"

Lin Xian heard this, his gaze turned cold: "You know there are three Taboo Items in my vehicle?"

Old Ghost saw Lin Xian’s expression and realized he had made a taboo by speaking too fast. He had no choice but to say stubbornly: "So what if I know? Otherwise, how do you think you ended up being swept into the Star Abyss by the Fish-tailed Lion Statue?"

"Akse was your design?" Lin Xian’s tone gradually became icy.

Old Ghost cursed himself inwardly, seeing the growing killing intent in Lin Xian’s eyes, started to threaten incoherently: "So, you realize our prowess? Our leader can easily wipe you out. Be sensible, let me go now, and I’ll pretend nothing happened, and you best run, you might have a chance to survive."

"Oh, you’ve set your sights on my Taboo Items, so you teamed up with the Deep Red World to drag us into the Star Abyss, planning to wipe us out and then collect the Taboo Items afterward. Now you, personally show up and try to threaten me, so I’ll let you go, enabling you to report back and continue to cause me trouble?" Lin Xian puzzledly recounted Old Ghost’s earlier words seriously.

"I...this..." Old Ghost swallowed hard, obviously panicking: "Aren’t you scared?"

Monica stood aside, coldly watching Old Ghost, her eyes full of amusement.

"Such negotiations really open my eyes. The Holy Revelation organization is indeed full of hidden talents."

Zhou Lei, as a bystander, looking at Old Ghost’s earlier actions, was utterly stunned, murmuring: "I was actually manipulated by such a fool... This is so damn unlucky."

Lin Xian gradually stood up, raised his hand, his fingertips mechanically transformed, a bright energy ray started to concentrate, aiming at Old Ghost’s forehead.

"Then thank you for giving me such a good reason to kill you."

"Wait, wait, wait!!!"

At this moment, Old Ghost seemed to truly smell the scent of death, his face instantly turned pale, shaking all over like a leaf, he hurriedly shouted: "You kill me, you’ll never know how to contain this candle!"

"I know, killing you does the trick." Lin Xian said with indifferent eyes.

"How do you know?" Old Ghost was suddenly startled.

"Did you come here out of curiosity about why Zhou Lei is still alive even though the candle is extinguished?" Lin Xian asked again.

"How do you know?!!" Old Ghost was somewhat doubting his sanity.

"Guess." Lin Xian blurted out.

"Lin Xian, damn you..."

Whoosh!

The Mechanical Energy Cannon directly pierced through Old Ghost’s forehead, ready to curse Lin Xian’s family, he suddenly went completely dark before this world and bid farewell.

"Finally..." Seeing this scene, Monica seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

Lin Xian clapped his hands: "You’re worried I might ask you to help lock this guy up too, right."

Monica looked at Old Ghost’s corpse indifferently: "Though I don’t mind helping you out, I’m really worried about the exhaust pipe on my Queen Mo."

Upon hearing this, KIKI frowned in a disgusted manner, turning her head to Lin Xian: "Lin Xian, how did you know the containment method for the candle?"

Lin Xian shrugged his shoulders, with a helpless expression: "When will you seriously listen to me? I already said, I guessed."

"Ah? You really guessed?" KIKI looked incredulous, for a moment earlier, she even felt Lin Xian was divinely insightful.

Beep.

The camera in the carriage now caught Zhou Lei’s presence, Monica used the power armor radar to scan and found Zhou Lei had lost that hidden ability, indicating the black candle’s power had dissipated.
