Chapter 665: The Horrifying Night on the Green Train (4)
“Forget it, forget it… If I can’t leave, I can only accept my fate…” The old man suddenly stood up, wiped his tears, and seemed suddenly relieved.
"Who said anything about walking out?"
Sang Feiwan suddenly stood up from his seat, removed the magic cover, and revealed his true face.
Someone recognized her immediately:
"You are Sang Feiwan!"
"You are an actor. I have seen you perform in The Song of Everlasting Regret."
"No, she's not only an actress, she's also a metaphysical anchor who specializes in solving paranormal problems."
"I wanted to connect with you just now, but it was too late and you were off the air. My cell phone had no signal, so I couldn't call for help. I didn't expect you to be in the same car with me. Woohoo... I'm saved."
"So what do we do now?"
“Is it really the ghost in the tunnel looking for a replacement?”
Sang Feiwan glanced out the window with dim eyes. Although the view was blocked by the car curtains, she could still sense that there were indeed a large number of ghosts gathered in the tunnel outside.
"Just as the old man said. 20 years ago, when a train was passing through Taoling Tunnel, a fire broke out in the No. 1 carriage at the end of the train."
"Fifty-eight passengers in the carriage were killed. These victims became earthbound spirits after death and are trapped in the tunnel and unable to leave."
"So whenever a train passes by, they gather on both sides of the train and wave and call out, hoping to get back on the train and leave here."
"However, there is a difference between life and death, and an order between yin and yang. Twenty years have passed, and no train has stopped for them to take them away."
"Tonight is a special night. Not only do they want to get on the train, they also want to find a substitute to suffer in the tunnel for them, in exchange for a chance to escape."
"If you want to leave safely, you must resolve their obsessions, remove the restrictions on the earthbound spirits, and let them go where they should go."
"What is their obsession?" someone asked.
"The truth. Finding out the truth about the death back then is what they are obsessed with."
As soon as Sang Feiwan finished speaking, the rapid knocking sound on the car window suddenly disappeared.
"But it's been 20 years since the incident. How do we know the truth?" asked the blonde woman.
"You don't know, but someone knows." Sang Feiwan set his eyes on the old man, "Why don't you tell everyone how those people died?"
When talking about what happened back then, even though 20 years have passed, the old man still feels terrified and fearful.
20 years ago, it coincided with the annual Spring Festival travel rush.
The station was packed with people, and the train was even more crowded.
In order to increase the carrying capacity, the K1484 train added an additional carriage at the rear.
What Mr. Wang bought was a standing ticket for "Add 1 car".
There were a lot of people in the carriage, and those who had seats were lucky enough to still be able to sit down.
Those who were not sitting had to stand and endure the situation.
If your legs get sore from standing, sit in the aisle to relax. If they get numb, stand up again.
Old man Wang took up a little space in the aisle and piled his thick luggage on the ground to use as a stool.
At night, when the train was about to reach Taoling Tunnel, car No. 1 suddenly caught fire.
Everyone rushed to escape to other carriages, but the fire broke out right where the two carriages were connected.
The fire started quickly again, spreading in a blink of an eye, turning into a wall of fire, making it impossible for those behind to escape.
Every carriage of the fully loaded train was packed with people.
The passengers near carriage No. 1 rushed forward frantically, and the scene was in chaos.
The rescue from the front did not arrive in time, and there were only a few train attendants nearby trying in vain to maintain order.
At this time, the entire train had just entered a tunnel that was more than ten miles long. In the sealed environment, thick smoke quickly gathered and could not dissipate.
If the car continued to burn, in a few minutes, not only would the entire tunnel be filled with thick smoke, but the rest of the train would also be poisoned by the smoke. More than a thousand people on the train would lose their lives!
After weighing the pros and cons, the conductor gave the order - abandon carriage No. 1 and make every effort to ensure the safety of the remaining carriages.
In the end, the burning carriage No. 1 was abandoned in the tunnel and was instantly engulfed by thick smoke and flames.
Some people climbed out of the windows to escape, but they were still choked to death by the thick smoke in the tunnel. Many more people even climbed out of the windows and were burned to death in their cars.
Before death came, they watched the train body flee mercilessly and ran out of the tunnel before being caught up by the thick smoke.
"It's tragic! It's really tragic!" Old Man Wang said with tears in his eyes, "When the carriages separated, those people were still alive and were still shouting, 'Save me, save me...'"
For a long time after that incident, Old Man Wang suffered from nightmares, in which a voice kept shouting in his ear: "Save me, save me..."
"People who died unjustly have grievances, resentment, and obsessions in their hearts, so they cannot be reborn."
"The obsession will become a force that binds them, trapping them in the tunnel, wandering in endless pain."
"Over time, resentment and pain grow, creating a vicious cycle."
The yellow-haired woman said, "We had no choice but to abandon the rear of the car. Who can we blame? Do we want everyone in the car to die here?"
The drunk man said, "I've taken this train several times. Every time I passed through Taoling Tunnel, I felt that the tunnel was a bit cold, but nothing else happened. Why is it so weird tonight?"
Old Man Wang murmured softly: "Because today is a special day."
"What special day?"
“A day of sacrifice!”
The man was startled by his strange tone: "Sacrifice what? Who wants to sacrifice?"
Sang Feiwan looked at the old man and said, "Is this the purpose of your trip? To sacrifice everyone on the train?"
Old Man Wang had stopped crying, but there were still traces of tears in the corners of his eyes: "Did you figure it out?"
Sang Feiwan nodded slightly.
In fact, the reason why she took this train.
It was she who happened to pass by the old man the day before and noticed that there was an unusual look of death on his face.
She was tempted to take another look at his face and realized that this ugly old man was about to cause a major accident, resulting in the deaths of hundreds of people on the entire train!
Sang Feiwan suddenly decided to follow him and board the train.
Old Man Wang sat in the nearest empty seat, quietly touched the remote control in his pocket, and then began to describe his plan:
"The victims suffered so much, trapped here with no way out. I have tried many ways over the years, but have not been able to help them."
"Later I heard that if they wanted to get them out of here, they just needed to find a group of scapegoats and let them die in the same way. Then they could replace the original dead people and stay in the tunnel."
He looked at the people in the carriage and sighed softly:
"I originally wanted to leave this carriage first and leave you as their scapegoats. But for some reason, I am trapped here and can't get out. In this case, I will die with you. It will be my atonement."
