In just six days, Gu Li encountered many dangers while staying on the ghost train.
He had used supernatural powers many times in order to survive, and his face looked particularly bad at the moment. The evil ghost in his body also showed signs of recovery, and would become restless from time to time, causing various horrific phenomena to occur in his body.
The supplies on hand were also depleted during this period.
The situation can be said to be extremely bad.
The only thing that made him feel lucky was that on the fifth day, after a chance attempt, he was finally not alone.
No one thought that a story that almost killed him could bring him the Li Leping from the past.
Although this Li Leping claimed to have far less supernatural power than the real Li Leping, for Gu Li, even if the Li Leping in the carriage was just a meal replacement, it would still be enough.
"The train has entered the tunnel."
At this time.
As the train entered the narrow tunnel again, the nearby light dimmed again, no light could be seen, and the whole world seemed to be swallowed up by darkness.
Li Leping also stood up at this time and walked towards the door of the first carriage.
He didn't have any scruples and chose to open the car door directly.
The current self is just a figure from the past. There is no need to worry about life and death, so many things can be left to him to explore the way ahead.
Li Leping opened the door and immediately walked in, with Gu Li following closely behind.
Look inside.
This carriage seems to be very normal. Although there is a lingering smell of dust floating in the room, the light of the flashlight is not restricted too much here, and there is no supernatural and cold atmosphere.
It was as if there were no supernatural beings inside this carriage. The interior layout was very similar to the previous carriage, which looked empty.
It is neither decorated like a box nor like a restaurant. It looks very spacious just like the carriage with only a desk.
However, even in this slightly empty carriage, something seemed to be placed.
"What's that? A grandfather clock?"
Gu Li took a flashlight and shined it.
An old solid wood floor clock with a similar European style came into view.
However, as soon as he saw this grandfather clock that was covered with dust and looked like it had been abandoned for a long time, Gu Li's eyes suddenly shrank.
Because he saw something special and scary on the grandfather clock.
It seemed to be a person, or to be precise, the torso of a person.
This part of the torso, which has dried up to the point of being skinny and skinny, and whose skin color has turned extremely black, is strangely stuck in front of the clock of the grandfather clock, as if a person is lying on the clock, covering the time of the clock.
.
From the angle the two of them looked at, they couldn't see the time on the grandfather clock at all, they could only see the remains of this piece without a head, arms and legs.
"Is this the last remaining body?"
Gu Li opened his eyes when he saw this. He had previously counted the severed limbs he had collected in his mind. Although they had heads, hands, and legs, it seemed that they were only missing the center that connected everything, which was the current section.
The torso.
However, Gu Li didn't dare to go up and put that torso into the body bag now.
"The things placed in each carriage are definitely not simple. This floor clock cannot be placed here for no reason. It must be a supernatural object. Even the torso covering the clock is not something to mess with.
s things."
Gu Li, who had been working in this place for more than five days, knew this very well.
Last time, he accidentally triggered the murder pattern of the ghost story, and almost let that story write him to death.
At this moment, looking at the torso parts that could be collected into a complete corpse, Gu Li did not dare to act without permission, and just wanted to huddle behind Li Leping and act as a cheerleader.
"This floor clock is not very high, but for a trunk bone, it is undoubtedly far beyond the length of the trunk, and this trunk, which is not too long, happens to cover the clock position of the floor clock. In this way
The covering method is as if the time on the clock is deliberately covered.”
Li Leping looked at the grandfather clock without saying a word.
In his opinion, although the train itself is a supernatural product, judging from the various decorations and layout on the train, it is obvious that this train was built by humans based on supernatural powers.
It was only as time passed that the train's supernatural powers began to show signs of getting out of control.
But out of control is out of control. Since it is a supernatural product created by humans, the layout and design inside the carriage must have been specially arranged. Just like the torso attached to the grandfather clock, its existence here must have a certain meaning.
This kind of purpose is probably left to specifically restrict the supernatural beings on the grandfather clock.
"Perhaps once the time on this clock is revealed, some terrible changes will occur?"
With such speculation, Li Leping walked over and tried to find an answer.
I can stay in this place forever, for ten days and a half months without any problem, but Gu Li behind me can't do it. He has a mission, and if he only needs this last step, Gu Li can get enough.
All parts of the body have been completed, so we cannot linger here forever.
"No, Li Leping, this thing is too tight, and you still can't see the clock."
As soon as he came closer, Gu Li discovered that the body on the grandfather clock seemed to be very sticky. The entire torso seemed to be stained with glue and was firmly pulled in front of the clock without any gaps being exposed.
Li Leping narrowed his eyes. He did not just look at the interaction area between the corpse and the grandfather clock, but looked at the wound area of the corpse, and then said: "Was this corpse cut open?"
Although this torso seems to have been here for a long time, the whole body has become rotten and smelly, and the blood inside has drained away, but you can still vaguely see the broken shoulder and leg wounds, which are bloody and bloody.
It doesn't look like it could be cut with a knife, but more like it was cut out by repeated friction with a saw.
"Sawn?"
Gu Li also took a look at the fractures at various locations on the torso.
But he didn't care much about it. After all, to him, it didn't matter what the body was dismembered by. What mattered was how he got off the train alive.
Li Leping didn't think too much about this matter. He just noticed that there might be a saw in the world that could dismember supernatural beings, and then got back to the topic: "If you want to take away this torso, you can only take it from the bell."
It’s been pulled down, so get ready.”
Gu Li didn't answer, but his face became solemn and he nodded, knowing what Li Leping meant.
No one knows why this grandfather clock is placed here, nor does it know what kind of strange abilities the clock itself involves.
But both of them knew that the corpse on the clock could not be placed casually. Since someone designed it like this, there must be some reason. And if they pull the corpse down now, although Gu Li can get it together
A whole body of corpses scattered in each carriage may break the original layout of the carriage and cause terrible changes.
But now it seems there is no other way.
Although the mission did not explicitly require Gu Li to collect all the fragments of corpses scattered in the carriages, judging from the fact that there was a fragment of corpses in each carriage, collecting severed limbs seemed to be a very important matter, and it was probably related to
The success or failure of this mission.
Of course, gathering a corpse may also kill Gu Li. After all, no one knows whether these scattered and rotting corpses will be a terrible ghost. It only falls into silence because the body has been dismembered.
, maybe as soon as these corpses are pieced together, the completely restored Li Gui will quickly revive, and then kill Gu Li as soon as possible.
But as Gu Li said, it's better to have something than nothing, and it's better to collect it than to miss it and never make up for it.
"Then let's get started."
Li Leping saw that Gu Li was ready and took action immediately.
The body stuck to the clock position was immediately pulled out by him.
There was no difficulty, no great effort was used, and not even a bit of supernatural power was released.
The torso that was close to the clock position was torn off by him.
But it was at the moment when the torso was torn off by him.
As the things in front of them finally moved away, the clock hidden underneath also appeared in the sight of Li Leping and Gu Li.
This looks like a very ordinary wall clock, but this clock seems to be broken. The hour hand, minute hand and second hand all seem to be fixed at the moment twelve o'clock and do not move.
"Leave quickly and don't stay here any longer."
Li Leping carried the body, glanced at the time on the grandfather clock and felt something was wrong.
Because the things placed in this place are not simple things, they must be very weird and supernatural items.
This grandfather clock is no exception.
What's more, the time fixed on this clock is too strange.
Twelve o'clock at midnight, the moment of interaction between the new day and the old day.
This is not a good sign.
God knows what kind of abnormal phenomena would occur if this bell started to flow.
However.
Just as Li Leping finished speaking.
He had not run a few steps with Gu Li.
Something incredible happened.
"Tick-tock, tick-tock."
Without the covering of the body, the grandfather clock was re-revealed and it immediately began to rotate as if it had been repaired suddenly.
The bell echoed in the silent carriage, melodious and deep.
at the same time.
"Li Leping."
Gu Li's expression changed. He was stunned for a moment, then became shocked. After shouting, he stopped at this moment and stopped running towards the exit.
Because he found that the car door was missing.
The exit was gone, as if it had disappeared out of thin air.
"I saw."
Li Leping also stopped at this time.
He also saw the car door disappear suddenly in an instant.
This phenomenon of the car door disappearing is not even the kind of situation that slowly disappears, not the kind of situation that transitions from blur to complete disappearance, but a phenomenon that disappears in an instant without any warning at all, as if it evaporates out of thin air.
This speed was so fast that Li Leping had no time to do anything.
"Did that bell do it?"
Li Leping immediately turned back to look at the grandfather clock that made the sound of operation.
But when he turned around, his face suddenly twitched, as if he had seen something extremely terrifying, so that he, an alien without much human emotion, looked a little unbelievable at this moment.
That was the road Gu Li had walked.
One after another, blurry figures appeared on this stretch of road without knowing when.
Although these figures look a bit illusory and unreal, as time goes by, they gradually become clearer.
"Are you kidding?!"
Gu Li also turned around. After seeing these figures suddenly appearing in front of him, he felt a biting chill rush straight to his forehead, making his whole body tremble.
Because these figures that are gradually becoming clearer seem to all look like him.
It was as if he had many more brothers at this moment. The appearance of these people was exactly the same as his, and even the clothes they wore were the same.
The most incredible thing is that one of these people's hands is also fair and slender, and there is a shadow puppet looming under the skin of half of the body.
"These people...are they me?"
Gu Li was shocked, even frightened, and subconsciously took a few steps back.
The same appearance, and even the supernatural beings controlled by them are the same.
However, these people who looked almost exactly like him had strange expressions at the moment, as cold as death, without any emotions of living people, and their eyes looked extremely empty, like machines without emotions, giving people a sense of
An eerie and depressing feeling.
"Are they figures from the past? The number is still increasing."
Li Leping's face also became a little ugly at this time.
Because he found that with the passage of time, not only were the Gu Li's that had appeared gradually moving from vagueness to clarity, from illusion to reality, but what made him feel uneasy was that there were new Gu Li's appearing.
These Gu Li appeared on the road that Gu Li himself had walked on, like figures from the past being dragged into reality by some strange force at this moment.
However, unlike Li Leping, these figures from the past seem to be suffering from some kind of strange erosion in the process of being pulled into reality. Gu Li from the past seems to have become a puppet controlled by a evil ghost at this moment.
, became weird and cold.
"I understand, every time the second hand of that clock turns, a past you will appear. These you will gradually become clear as time goes by. Once you fully come to reality, you are waiting to be beaten.
Bar."
Li Leping regained his composure and came to this conclusion.
It is not difficult to come to this conclusion, after all, the only variable from just now to now is the grandfather clock.
The sound of the clock turning is a signal, and one second represents a Gu Li from the past.
