Chapter 82 -82 The First Stop’s Green Light_1
“Ding ding ding ding—”
Amidst a series of hurried bell sounds, the train began to slow down. The fog outside the windows dissipated, and gradually, images started to come into view.
Two minutes later, bathed under the glow of a full moon, Colin could roughly make out that they seemed to be in a wilderness, not a platform.
No, to be more precise, it looked like a boundless rice paddy…
As the retro train gradually came to a halt, he saw that in the rice paddies, there were many dim green lights flickering here and there, somewhat reminiscent of fireflies, but not quite.
Because at a closer look, the area of the flickering green light was not small, typically with diameters ranging from half a meter to a meter.
Unless the fireflies were carrying light bulbs on their backs, they couldn’t emit such bright light.
“Are we going to stop around here?”
Colin’s face leaned closer to the window to look ahead and saw no station, but the train continued to decelerate, suggesting it was likely to stop in the wilderness.
A few minutes later, at 4:30 in the morning, the train stopped.
“What, what is this place…”
“We didn’t see a station, they’re not really going to stop here, are they?”
“It seems like there’s a signal on my phone!”
Hearing their words, Colin took out his phone and checked. Indeed, there seemed to be a signal, though weak, because when he opened the takeout app, it couldn’t pinpoint the address.
The people at the back had apparently made a phone call and were getting ready to get off the train with the female student who was bound hand and foot.
As they passed by Colin, he spoke up to warn them, “Are you sure you want to get off here?”
The description of the “Mist Train” had mentioned that it was a train that appeared at various points of abnormality; if it stopped here, it mostly meant this place was just as unsafe.
But he had barely begun to speak when he heard someone’s mobile phone voice coming through, “Be careful when communicating with him, avoid provoking his emotions, once out of the carriage, we’ll quickly send someone over after confirming the location, now get away from that ominous train as soon as possible…”

The police? Now they saw me as the criminal… Colin pretended not to hear, and since Brother Xiao expressed his reluctance to stay on board in a roundabout way, he didn’t say anything further.
He could feel that this was indeed Earth, but exactly where was unclear.
Once the group had disembarked, silence fell inside the carriage.
But soon, Colin’s gaze sharpened, and he alertly noticed that in the quiet and peaceful green rice stalks, the flickering green lights had become noticeably more numerous and were moving towards the disembarkation point.
The people who had gotten off stood by the side of the rice field, seemingly unaware of something nearing.
“Something’s definitely not quite right…”
Colin squinted his eyes, took a breath, and tried to discern something through the smell; unfortunately, the carriage was completely sealed from the outside, so he didn’t catch any useful scent.
However, at that moment, a dreadful scream suddenly erupted from the doorway.
Colin looked towards the sound and saw a humanoid monster, with abnormally long limbs and a skin pallid and gelatinous, that had appeared nearby and was pouncing toward the few people.
The face of the humanoid monster had no features, and its hands were like a pair of white, scythe-like claws, reminiscent of a praying mantis in human form.
The person targeted by it raised his arm as if to block, but in a flash, his palm was severed. If it weren’t for someone kicking the monster away, the relentless creature could have easily sliced him open…
As the first monster appeared, more deformed humanoid creatures sprang out of the grass, their numbers so great that it made one’s scalp tingle.
After being attacked, these people weren’t fools; they immediately dragged the wounded back into the carriage.
“Help, please, they’ve got hold of my senior sister…” Two people were dragging the bound woman, whose lower half was still outside the carriage, as if being pulled by someone…
Hearing their desperate plea, a few others quickly came forward to help.
Suddenly, everyone’s grip loosened as if the other side of a tug-of-war had suddenly let go, causing them all to fall backwards, but before they could cry out in pain,
one of the six students suddenly shouted, looking at the senior who had been dragged in with shock…
Her lower body had failed to make it onto the train and was neatly cut open from her navel, spilling out her guts mixed with a large amount of blood, instantly filling the air with the stench of gore.
The remaining half of her upper body twitched a few times and then stopped moving after a few seconds.
The others, staring at the gruesome scene, were left blank-minded, seemingly unable to snap back to reality for a moment.
Colin’s gaze shifted away from the corpse, without giving it a second glance, he reached into his pocket, gripped the handle of the revolver, and prepared to draw his gun towards the train door at any moment.
However, a glance at the window from the corner of his eye caused Colin’s breathing to halt.
“This many? You’ve got to be joking?!”
In the dim, boundless expanse of a vast paddy field, there were more and more green lights increasing by the hundreds and thousands, innumerable, flickering as they moved closer…
But for some reason, the monsters with occasional green lights on their bodies surrounded the door and didn’t seem to be planning on following inside.
Realizing this, Colin let out a sigh of relief.
If they were to charge in, unless Lady Bunny activated that protocol again to help, there would be no chance of stopping them.
At that moment, an electromagnetic “zzt zzt” sound came from somewhere inside the carriage, followed by an urgent male voice urging,
“Get off the train! Get off the train! It’s dangerous on the train! Hurry and get off!”
“It’s very dangerous on the train; get off quickly…”
“I’ll send someone to protect you right away. The train is very dangerous, extremely dangerous, do not take it…”
A chill ran through everyone when they noticed a cellphone in the middle of a spreading pool of blood that had somehow automatically answered a call and was on speaker.
“Bang!”
Colin stood up, drew the revolver from his pocket with his right hand, and fired a bullet that accurately destroyed the cellphone.
The male voice came to an abrupt halt…
The few university students, still blank-minded from fear, looked toward Colin in horror.
Meanwhile, as if it was time, the train began to sound “clang clang clang.”
The door closed with a snap.
The train started moving again.
During this process, the green lights among the straw outside became denser but did not attempt to rush into the carriage.
Ten seconds later, when fog started to appear outside the windows, Colin took a long breath, knowing it should be safe now.
However, at this time, perhaps due to the train, it seemed a gust of wind had risen outside, and beneath the bent paddy fields, one creepy mound after another was exposed to view.
Suddenly feeling something, Colin lifted his head and looked past the straw to the deeper parts, where he saw a giant mound covered with green grass.
On the mound, there was a vague silhouette of a person protruding in the dark.
It stood in a bizarre pose, arms spread out, legs together, as if it were a scarecrow, emanating a strange and ominous aura.
Without looking further, Colin shifted his gaze away, not making eye contact, and immediately felt a lot more relaxed.
Then, the carriage fell into a silence as still as death until the atmosphere was broken by the sound of someone vomiting.
