When he returned to his seat, Cassia found Taranto by the window looking at him. "Just a small favor." Cassia said with a smile.
Taranto smiled, and Cassia didn't know what the smile meant. His round glasses were completely white under the lights inside the train. Every time Cassia wanted to look into Taranto's eyes.
At that time, I was always blocked by the reflection on these two glasses, and I couldn't see anything real. Although I thought it was a dispensable thing, now it seems that it is still somewhat useful.
More than a minute later, the train accelerated to a stable speed, Taranto closed the windows, and the air circulation system began to operate. Julien's breathing became much gentler, and in such a short period of time, he had fallen asleep.
Taranto leaned against the window. As soon as he closed his eyes, his whole body and his small space became very quiet.
Cassia also wanted to take a rest, as the atmosphere in the train was so intense. But he was extremely excited and had no intention of sleeping at all. He was in a hurry on the way here and didn't even buy a few books.
It’s possible to see.
It seemed that the whole trip was going to be boring like this. Cassia also wanted to imitate Julien and the others and close their eyes to spend this time, but her eyes were moving around in her eyelids uncontrollably. In the end, Cassia could only
I turned my head and kept looking out at the unchanging scenery along the way to pass the time. The train quickly left the station and left the city. The number of buildings in one area decreased sharply, and in the end only a patch of overgrown wasteland and hills remained.
The nights come quickly, and the time in summer is slowly getting shorter.
While Cassia was looking at the scenery outside the train, he didn't feel a gaze staring at him from behind at all. This was something he had never encountered before, and his keen perception seemed to be formed in that direction.
The fatal blind spot range, but Cassia, as the person involved, was completely unaware of it. According to his induction, everything was the same normal situation as usual.
That gaze was also intermittent, coming from the girl diagonally opposite behind Cassia's seat.
He is young, his trench coat is very long, and his sitting posture is standard enough to be included in a textbook, which is remarkable. The body shrunk into the trench coat is very tired, and his face also has a sleepy look, which is very reluctant.
But she still cheered up and sat upright with her back straight. It was as if she was born with this habit, or had been trained in this way since she was a child.
She looked through the windbreaker at Cassia's half profile, which was higher than the seat. She could also see the clear eyes on Cassia's face. There was a faint excitement in her eyes, and her little body couldn't help but tremble. She didn't know what it was.
Because. But this state did not last long. Maybe she was too tired. The girl blinked a few times, leaned on the seat and fell asleep completely.
Cassia felt her eyes become dull as she looked at the increasingly blurry scenery under the night sky. After looking at it for a long time, Taranto also fell asleep. He himself also felt that his head was becoming a little drowsy. So he finally closed his eyes and got stuck.
Xia rubbed her forehead, just thinking about passing the time and taking a break, but she never thought that she would fall asleep completely.
It might be the last person to sleep in the entire carriage, or in the entire long passenger train. It is very quiet in the connected carriages, and the sound of the friction on the rails can be heard far away in the lonely wilderness, like insects.
The sound was completely covered up. The dim lights crawled on the ground. It seemed as if something was invisibly surrounding the entire train. Except for the sound of people gradually breathing faster, the inside of the carriage was eerily quiet.
It lasted until late at night, the temperature outside dropped a lot, the air circulation system was not regulated by people, and the air inside the car even became a little cold.
At this time, Cassia shivered. Originally, he was in a state of falling asleep in a daze, and he did not want to rest. The sharp feeling in his body caused him to have a strong reaction, and he seemed to be resisting something mentally.<
/p>
Cassia regained a little consciousness, only to feel that his eyelids were very heavy. His originally excited spirit became very sluggish for unknown reasons at this moment, and the inside became a ball of paste. He felt as if there was something underneath his body.
There was a bottomless abyss, and countless iron chains were pulling his body down. The darkness inside turned into thick and energetic sludge, and began to swallow every inch of his body.
Instinctively, he wanted to struggle, but Cassia suddenly found that he had no strength in his whole body. The bones in his body and countless tangled muscle fibers seemed to have completely disappeared from his body. He became a puppeteer who left.
The doll made of soft leather and rubber could only be forced to sink a little bit lower. The rotten smell in the mud became clearly audible, and Cassia felt that half of her body was completely trapped in the mud.
What happened? Cassia's confused consciousness did not allow him to think about anything at all. Like a drowning person who fell into the sea in the middle of the night, there was no object around him to put his hands on, and there was no visible light in his eyes. The sky
The stars above were also completely obscured by dark clouds. Apart from the sound of waves that kept lingering in my ears, there was only the throat-choking seawater that poured into my stomach.
The mud submerged Cassia's neck after a while, and her mouth completely sank shortly thereafter. Her nose followed her ears. The moment she was wrapped in the mud, her breathing, smell and hearing were completely lost. The mud has strange power, as if
Can block anything trapped inside it.
The air in her lungs was being rapidly consumed by her body. Cassia thought she could hold her breath for a long time. But here, all the functions of her body seemed to have regressed. In just a few seconds, Cassia couldn't hold on.
He opened his mouth and wanted to take a big breath of fresh air. But what was poured into his mouth was only a pile of rotten sludge. His stomach suddenly surged, but he couldn't spit out anything at all. The sludge almost covered the bridge of his nose. Cassia
He continued to struggle feebly, perhaps because the discomfort caused by the silt pouring into his body suddenly stimulated his body. When the silt was about to flood his eyes, he finally had the strength to open his eyelids.
Cassia wants to see clearly where this is.
But inside the slits of his eyes, there was only an endless darkness, a darkness he had never seen before, a shocking color. And in this darkness, right on Cassia's body that was about to be submerged, there was a gaze looking straight at him.
Watch him.
Feeling this gaze, Cassia turned her eyes and looked in the direction of that gaze at the moment before she was about to be completely swallowed by the mud.
There is something important there, Cassia has this hunch in her heart.
Then the scene there was reflected in the pupils. It was a golden skull, with two empty eye holes staring at him silently.
Immediately, the silt flooded Cassia, and the world turned dark again.
