MTL - Top Horror Novelist-Chapter 2

The air pressure in the carriage was extremely low, as if the air was not the smell of blood, but the smell of gunpowder smoke.

People died at the beginning, but now they don't even enter the dungeon location...

Such a bad start made the remaining people wary and suspicious of each other, and the old players also began to re-evaluate the degree of danger this time.

But no one paid much attention to the dead players, and they all started to prepare for getting off because of the broadcast.

The moment she saw the dead person, the female player already knew that her proposal to help each other was completely broken.

With the murderer unknown, the remaining ten new and old players have lost all trust in each other.

Embarrassed and flustered, she wanted to push away the dead body and get up. After all, based on her understanding of the game field, it was best to follow the rules.

The radio said to get off within a minute, so if she didn't get off in time after the train stopped, maybe what was waiting for her was death.

But the more anxious she was, the easier it was to make mistakes. Instead, she fell back into a pool of blood, completely embarrassed.

The others ignored the female player's plight indifferently, and the male player who had just quarreled with her snorted heavily, mocking her naivety.

Immediately, the male player turned around and took out a... skirt from the luggage bag?

Chi Yiyin, who had been observing the audience calmly, raised his eyebrows, surprised by the behavior of the male player.

What surprised him even more was that the male player looked left and right like a thief, then hid in a corner, but changed into the lady's long dress.

Chi Yiyin's expression was suddenly indescribable. For a while, he couldn't tell whether the male player was purely a hobby or had other purposes.

But when everyone was getting ready to get off the car, Chi Yiyin turned around and walked towards the female player who was still struggling. While walking, he took out the leather gloves from his pocket and put them on slowly.

"Get up, the ground is cold."

Chi Yiyin bent down slightly, stretched out her hand to the female player, and said with a light smile, "It's time to get off the bus."

The female player didn't expect Chi Yiyin to help her.

She froze for a moment, then pursed her lips, and handed Chi Yiyin her hand.

Although Chi Yiyin does not look like a strong physique, but looks like a nobleman who has been sitting in a study for a long time, with a slender waist and long legs, and a slender and tall figure.

It wasn't until he moved that other people realized that under the elegant and elegant suit, there was a powerful body wrapped.

He picked up the collar of the dead body with one hand, threw the body aside with all his strength, and held the hand of the female player with the other hand, pulling her up easily.

The whole process was like flowing water, and Chi Yiyin didn't let a drop of blood splash on her body.

The rest of what he said may be half true and false, making it difficult to fathom his details.

But one thing is absolutely true.

— He hates getting blood on himself.

Chi Yiyin's appearance is most consistent with his own, probably because of his cleanliness.

Whether it was the female player closest to Chi Yiyin or other people who were secretly following him, they were all surprised by his strength for a while.

Chi Yiyin felt several eyes looking at him, and the female player thanked him again and again after standing still.

"Thank you for your help twice, my name is Tong Yao, how about you?"

But Chi Yiyin passed her and looked out the car window behind her, frowning slightly.

After waking up, Chi Yiyin always felt that there seemed to be a violation in her vision, but she couldn't remember it.

Only now did he realize by comparison that the wrong place was outside the car window.

Even if he sat by the car window, he couldn't see the scenery outside the window clearly, whether it was mountains, rivers or forests, they were just blurred blocks of color. But at that time, he just thought out of common sense that it was fog outside.

But now he suddenly realized that when the train was broadcasting, the scenery outside the window instantly became clear.

There may be a few small Western buildings mixed in the middle of the Chinese-style buildings, fashionable women wearing cheongsams and permed hair and women in old-fashioned hairpin skirts, men in long gowns or suits, small newsboys selling newspapers, and black smoke faintly drifting from the windows.

This is clearly the era of a hundred years ago.

Ancient Tree Town has arrived.

But not in his timeline.

The time of this small town, or [Dear Home], stayed in the last century.

No wonder he smelled soot before, it turned out to be a coal-burning train.

Such a rare experience made Chi Yiyin a little novel. He took off his blood-stained gloves, threw them into the trash can, took out the notebook and pen in his pocket, and quickly recorded his feelings at the moment.

Tong Yao, who didn't get a response for a long time, looked at Chi Yiyin's actions and felt a little strange. Everyone else was preparing to get off the car, but he was racing against time to write something...

However, Tong Yao didn't have the extra time to be curious.

As the train braked heavily, everyone rushed forward under inertia. Before they could gain a foothold, the radio rang again.

[Gushu Town has arrived, all survivors please get off the bus. Now the countdown starts, sixty, fifty-nine...]

In an instant, no matter the old or new players, they rushed towards the car door.

"Crack!" There was a loud bang, and the car door automatically and violently opened, and everyone rushed to the car door, fearing that they would run out of time.

Chi Yiyin, who stood at the end, immediately fell into a disadvantage.

Tong Yao was also anxiously running towards the front of the car, but after realizing that Chi Yiyin was not moving, he slowed down and turned around to pull Chi Yiyin to run together.

"In a minute, those people in front may still be tampering. We really need to hurry up."

Tong Yao reached out to pull Chi Yiyin, but he quickly avoided him.

Her hands froze in the air, and she felt a little embarrassed.

us?

Chi Yiyin caught Tong Yao's subconscious title, and knew that he had guessed Tong Yao's character correctly. He had already gained Tong Yao's initial trust, and she was classified as one of her own.

In the next second, Chi Yiyin nodded slightly to Tong Yao with regret in his eyes: "Sorry, I have a cleanliness and don't like being touched by others. Also, I need to check the body, this is the only chance to know who the murderer is , you go first."

Tong Yao didn't expect that Chi Yiyin would still think of finding the murderer when time was so tight, but before she could persuade her again, he saw that Chi Yiyin had already taken out a handkerchief and wrapped it around his hand, squatting down to flip through it. A corpse in a pool of blood.

[forty, thirty-nine...]

The sound of the countdown was mechanically cold, and it caught everyone's heart in an instant, and they were so nervous that they couldn't breathe.

Tong Yao turned to look at the car door, and everyone was trying to squeeze out.

None of them wanted to experience the consequences of timeout for themselves, because that would probably...represent death.

On the platform, a figure in a long gown was already waiting outside the train.

Tong Yao bought the pre-recorded material of this dungeon, and knew that it was the housekeeper who came to pick up the eldest lady. And what this butler hates the most is not being punctual.

If you don't get off the train as soon as possible, not to mention the unknown punishment of the train, just leaving a bad impression on the housekeeper at the beginning of the instance is already terrible.

The most correct choice now is to squeeze towards the car door together. But even though Tong Yao knew this, he still felt rooted under his feet and couldn't move away from Chi Yiyin.

[Thirty-five, thirty-four...]

Tong Yao gritted his teeth, turned around quickly, and decided to give himself twenty seconds to wait for Chi Yiyin.

"I am with you, mainly looking for what? You tell me, the two of you hurry up."

Chi Yiyin looked through the dead bodies methodically, stepped across the pool of blood, stood at the door of the bathroom and looked in, but refused Tong Yao's help.

"Let's divide the work and cooperate. You go smash the car window, and I'll find clues."

Chi Yiyin raised her eyelashes, glanced at the direction of the car door with a smile: "When God blocks the door, I can open a window by myself."

Tong Yao was shocked immediately.

In the game field, it's best to follow the rules, but the rules don't say you can smash windows...

Without raising his head, Chi Yiyin already knew Tong Yao's hesitation, and immediately waved his finger at the car window casually: "Have you ever seen an old-fashioned coal-burning train with a window safety hammer?"

The rules are hidden in the details, right in front of you.

But if you can't see it and guess it, then sorry, you can only be an obedient fool.

And what Chi Yiyin hates the most is being good.

When Tong Yao followed Chi Yiyin's fingers, he suddenly realized.

It really is!

She had clearly seen the safety hammer before, but subconsciously ignored the contradiction between the two eras that did not match, and skipped it directly.

【Twenty-five, twenty-four...】

Tong Yao didn't dare to delay, and rushed forward immediately.

Chi Yiyin, on the other hand, was concentrating on checking the bathroom, not worried about how she would get out in less than 30 seconds.

When he woke up and heard the quarrel between Tong Yao and the male player, he began to profile Tong Yao's character in his heart, and by helping Tong Yao and observing her reaction, he figured out her character.

He anticipated Tong Yao's reaction and psychology, and guessed her next few steps.

Therefore, the plan he made from the beginning was that Tong Yao would help him complete the final escape.

Besides, Chi Yiyin didn't want to squeeze a door with a group of people.

Not to mention that other people will bump into him in a crowded place, and he hates being in contact with people. And the danger is too high, he is the farthest from the car door, and does not have an advantage. Walking behind, it is easy to be tampered with, and it is easy to get in and out of the car.

Besides, Chi Yiyin was really curious about who it was that could kill people in full view and yet quietly disappear.

If he didn't take advantage of this only opportunity to find out, maybe the next person to be killed without anyone noticing would be him.

Since you are playing chess, you need to know who the person on the opposite side of the board is, what cards they have, what to do next, and how the opponent will move in the next ten moves.

Recklessness is not Chi Yiyin's style, he prefers to plan ahead.

—Obviously, the murderer didn't expect that there would be someone like Chi Yiyin in this car.

Although the time was short, it was enough for Chi Yiyin to see the truth clearly.

The dead player was fatally wounded in the neck, and his throat was cut with fishing line, so a lot of blood spurted out.

As for the fishing line, it is arranged behind the bathroom door.

Few people will carefully check whether there is fishing line on the door frame when they are in a hurry to go to the bathroom. What's more, in the bathroom with dim light, the fishing line does not reflect light and is difficult to be found.

As soon as a person entered, his throat would be cut open.

It wasn't a perfect kill, the fishing line was still in the bathroom. However, the murderer is not afraid of being discovered, because the murderer knows very well that no one will be enthusiastic to meddle in their own business.

Even if the dead were exposed, no one would waste time looking for clues.

Unfortunately, because of Chi Yiyin, the murderer miscalculated.

【nineteen…】

After exiting the bathroom, Chi Yiyin carefully stepped over the pool of blood, not letting the blood stain the leather shoes.

He looked at the blood-stained handkerchief in his hand, frowned, and threw it away.

"Come here!"

Tong Yao had successfully smashed open the car window, and yelled at Chi Yiyin, "There are only a few seconds left."

There was already a mess at the car door. A player deliberately blocked the door when getting out of the car, and Shi Shiran got out of the car after consuming the time for the people behind to run out.

The three or four people behind were in a hurry. Everyone wanted to be the first to rush down, but instead they all crowded at the door.

After hearing the sound of Tong Yao smashing the glass, no matter whether it was the people crowded in the car door or those who had already got out of the car, they all looked over in astonishment.

The unshaven man stood on the platform, looked up at the empty and windy car window in astonishment, and then saw Chi Yiyin who was calmly wiping his fingers and walking towards the car window.

There was even a faint smile on the other party's lips, as if he was not affected by the tension of the countdown at all.

Tong Yao, an old player, leaned on the car window, but turned his head anxiously to look back and forth, like Chi Yiyin's follower.

…yeah, everyone including him, without even realizing it, could probably get out of the car window too.

The man stared blankly at Chi Yiyin, but was affected by the countdown coming from the train. He watched Chi Yiyin nervously, his heart beating wildly, wondering if Chi Yiyin would be able to jump down before the countdown ended.

Seeing this, a person crowded in the car door immediately gave up the car door and ran towards the car window instead.

He stared at Chi Yiyin fiercely, trying to seize the exit window that the other party had discovered and successfully dug.

What is moral and immoral, survival is the truth!

Tong Yao also saw the person running over, and immediately became very anxious, and subconsciously protected the car window, lest Chi Yiyin's vitality would be snatched away by others.

Among the nervousness of everyone in the audience, Chi Yiyin, the person involved, turned out to be the calmest.

[five, four...]

His steps are steady, and even the distance between each step is exactly the same, which makes his walking posture look extremely elegant and leisurely.

Chi Yiyin smiled lightly and glanced at the man who was rushing towards him, but he didn't take his murderous look to heart at all.

He raised his long legs, and taking advantage of his figure, he stepped on the window frame with his well-crafted leather shoes. Immediately, with a sudden force, his slender figure was already squatting gracefully on the window sill.

Chi Yiyin glanced back at the blushing man with a smile, and jumped down as lightly as a butterfly fluttering its wings.

Not only did he not panic at all, he even had time to **** someone's coat from the seat and put it on his arm, then grabbed Tong Yao's arm and jumped out of the car window together.

The coat swung open in his hands like a blooming flower, and it covered Tong Yao's body accurately.

And the corners of his dark blue suit fluttered behind him, and his silver-gray hair curled in the wind, confusing the smile in his eyes.

Chi Yiyin already has an excellent appearance that is enough to amaze anyone, and in such light and powerful movements, it seems that he is as beautiful as a dream.

Everyone looked at Chi Yiyin, whether they were on guard against him or not, they were so amazed at this moment that they forgot to breathe.

The man on the train was still desperately stretching his hands forward and threw himself at the window, with a grim expression on his face.

But the countdown has jumped to the last second.

【one. 】

Chi Yiyin's leather shoes hit the ground.

The countdown has just ended.

On the train, there are mutants.

The window of the car that was smashed by Tong Yao instantly returned to its original shape, sealing the man who hadn't gotten out of the car in time.

The last person who came down from the car door still had half of his foot on the steps, and the transparent barrier quickly spread outside the entire car. While sealing the car door, it also sharply cut off half of that person's foot.

Caught off guard, the man lost his balance and fell to the ground.

The man in the car also hit the window.

He slapped the car window in horror, couldn't help looking back frequently in anxiety, and yelled for the people under the car to save him.

But in the next second, an invisible force grabbed the man in the car, and he was slowly lifted into the air. He could only panic and desperately paddle his limbs to break free.

The person who fell on the ground struggled to look back, and the instantly severed leg was still spraying blood. He was stunned, and the severe pain gradually spread.

Then he realized that half of his foot...was no longer on his body.

The foot that fell on the step behind the car door was still wearing his familiar shoe.

If it's not his foot, whose is it?

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!!"

The man cried out in excruciating pain.

At the same moment, the man in the car was crushed instantly by an invisible hand.

"Puff!" With a sound, blood spurted out and smeared the car windows.

Everyone under the car was startled, and then their hearts beat wildly.

Only Chi Yiyin turned back unhurriedly after standing still, and looked up at the train.

After seeing that all the blood was blocked in the car by the window and did not splash out, he hooked his lips and smiled.

"Fortunately it jumped in time."

Chi Yiyin smiled lightly, with a gentle voice: "Otherwise, this dress will be ruined."

No one expected that Chi Yiyin would have such a calm reaction when he escaped death at the last second.

Even laughing.

Immediately, many people looked at Chi Yiyin in shock, and some even had complex, dim eyes.

There were still eleven people when they got on the car, but one died on the car, and one was killed and the other was injured when they got off the car.

Before entering the dungeon, there were only nine people left. Among them, the one who lost half of his foot was automatically put into the death camp by the old players.

Such a situation makes the old players feel heavy.

And Tong Yao turned his head slowly, and stared blankly at Chi Yiyin beside him.

One person was crushed into blood plasma, another person had half of his foot cut off, even he himself almost failed to jump off, and turned into a mess of blood and flesh. But this person didn't feel scared at all, instead he cared about such trivial things as clothes?

Cleanliness... Ha, **** the cleanliness! She has never seen anyone with a cleanliness like this!

Chi Yiyin turned her eyes and looked at Tong Yao with a smile: "Are you okay?"

This man is still smiling...

Crazy, utterly crazy!

Tong Yao watched Chi Yiyin's eyes lose their light, and his teeth chattered unconsciously. She subconsciously took a step back in fear, wanting to stay away from Chi Yiyin.

But Chi Yiyin raised his eyebrows, stepped forward half a step, and raised his hand to tighten the coat he had just put on Tong Yao.

"Put this on."

Chi Yiyin bent down slightly, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "You are 'sister', right? Look at the person waiting over there with neat clothes and meticulous hair. He must have requirements for neat clothes. Do you think Do you want him to see that you are covered in blood?"

Tong Yao looked at this handsome face that was close at hand, and then looked at the housekeeper waiting not far away.

Just as Chi Yiyin said, the housekeeper's long gown didn't even have half a wrinkle, and his hair was even cut so that there wasn't a single mess in it. With his serious and serious appearance, he looked gloomy and difficult to get along with.

And the blood all over her body obviously shouldn't be the dress that a famous lady should have.

She didn't even think of a way, but the young man in front of her thought of it for her, and even covered it up for her from the moment she got off the car.

Although Tong Yao was still afraid of Chi Yiyin who had downplayed life and death just now, but now, her fear has wavered again.

She didn't want to disappoint other people's kindness, and she really needed it, so she quickly put on her coat under the cover of Chi Yiyin's straight and slender figure to hide her embarrassment.

"Thank you, thank you."

Tong Yao muttered, thanking Chi Yiyin with complicated eyes.

At this time, the butler who had been standing there before, motionless like a wax figure, also moved after the countdown ended, looking sinisterly in Tong Yao's direction.

It's like a program that is woken up at regular intervals.

The butler didn't seem to have seen the blood all over the floor, just like the **** pieces of meat slowly sliding down the car window.

His eyes slid across everyone, his eyes didn't seem to be looking at a living person, but at a dead thing.

Obviously the butler has the same appearance as a human being, but when the rest of the people are looking at the butler, they feel the fear of staring at something humanoid, a cold tingling sensation spreads down the arms, and the hairs stand on end.

Chi Yiyin calmly stepped back half a step as if nothing had happened, and distanced herself from Tong Yao again. Then he turned around, raised his hand to smooth out the wrinkles on the suit, smiled decently but looked at the butler without any warmth.

The housekeeper also bowed deeply to everyone: "Miss, you have worked hard studying abroad, welcome you home, Mrs. Ma has been waiting for you for a long time."

"Oh, the young master and the two ladies are also clamoring to see you."

The butler raised his head, looked at everyone from bottom to top, with gloomy eyes and a strange smile: "Everyone in the house misses you very much."

"Miss."

【You have a strict father, a loving mother, and lovely younger siblings. You are the young lady of a famous family, with numerous servants and countless treasures, you are the envy of everyone. 】

[But are you really happy? Sister, please write and tell me, tell me the truth about your dear home. 】

Chi Yiyin put it properly in the red envelope in the inner pocket of the suit. On the card he had flipped through, all the words printed before disappeared instantly.

New words and sentences appeared on the card one stroke at a time, pressing indents, as if someone was holding a pen and writing on the card.

It's just that the handwriting is as red as blood.

Wet blood stained the card, making it blurry.
