Lincheng...beggar..."
Jiang Qiao listened from behind, a thoughtful expression on his face.
He was certain that the two men hadn't made up a story.
Because he remembered very clearly that Lincheng was eventually occupied by a group of beggar ghosts, and they could only set up a refuge camp in a small town outside the city.
Ultimately, this refuge camp was sacrificed by the treacherous "new humans."
So it's quite clear that the two were recounting real paranormal events that happened in the city.
It's just unclear whether there's any connection between the two.
"I remember the manager of the Lincheng refugee camp was named Ma Baoguo, and he was a martial arts enthusiast..."
Jiang Qiao suddenly had an idea.
Because of him, the "new humans" have suffered a severe blow and probably won't dare to swagger around anymore.
Without the help of the evolved beings, it's hard to say whether the refugee camp in Lincheng can be established.
"So when it comes to things involving the supernatural, it's ultimately a choice between something bad and something even worse."
Jiang Qiao sighed and looked out the window.
at this time.
It was already dark outside, and night had fallen.
The train had been traveling for eight or nine hours and still hadn't reached the "Black Coffin Mountain" station.
This made Jiang Qiao feel somewhat gloomy.
The longer the ghost train takes, the more dangerous the next stop will be.
Because this train travels in a way that is somewhat similar to space jumps, or ghostly blinks.
In this situation, it would still take half a day to get there, which gives you an idea ofwhere this place is located.
"The only good news is that the Huangquan Auction House incident did not affect the ordinary carriages."
"I wonder how things are over there now."
Jiang Qiao's eyes flickered a few times.
The young people in front, on the other hand, seemed to have inexhaustible energy. After telling ghost stories, they began to dream about their life after going to Ancheng.
From their conversation, Jiang Qiao learned that these guys were all second-generation rich kids from Lincheng.
Lincheng is a small city, and although it is relatively safe for the time being, there is no guarantee that this safety will continue. Therefore, some families with the means have started to look for solutions.
The truly capable individuals received the news before the supernatural resurgence and had already moved their entire families to the capital.
Those who fared slightly worse managed to evacuate within days of the paranormal resurgence and relocate to several strategic cities in the north and south.
They belong to a lower tier and are only now getting through the initial difficulties to embark on their journey to the safe zone city.
Moreover, they must go in batches.
So some of their parents had already left, while others were still at the train station, waiting for the next train.
"A bunch of unlucky guys ran into a ghost train while trying to escape."
Jiang Qiao shook his head, a slight smile playing on his lips.
"Brother, are you also going to Ancheng?"
Just then, a tall boy in front turned around and asked Jiang Qiao a question.
"Yes." Jiang Qiao looked up at him.
He did indeed intend to go to Ancheng.
Even with the "Life Substitution Technique," it should be able to withstand the annihilation by that mysterious being from Hualong Mountain.
But he still planned to go to Yang Lulu as an extra layer of insurance.
"Well, we're going the same way anyway. May I ask your surname, brother?" The boy smiled brightly and spoke in a friendly tone.
"Jiangqiao".
"Is there something you need?"
Jiang Qiao asked.
"Hello Brother Jiang, my name is Yang Meng."
"Well, this is our first time taking the train to Ancheng, so we're not familiar with the route. We wanted to ask Brother Jiang, we've already been traveling for eight hours, how far is the next stop?"
"Because the information we received before we left indicated that this train would pass through many stations along the way, but it seems we haven't encountered any of them yet."
The boy named Yang Meng asked.
Clearly, he also noticed something was wrong with the train, as it made almost no stops along the way.
Jiang Qiao looked at him with a strange expression.
"Hearing you say that, the train does seem to be acting strangely."
"However, this is my first time riding it, so I'm not sure. Maybe the route was changed at the last minute. After all, with the resurgence of paranormal activity, safety is the top priority."
Jiang Qiao replied.
He didn't tell Yang Meng that they were on a supernatural train.

Because it's meaningless.
Let's not even talk about whether the other party believes it or not.
Even if you believe it, it will only cause a period of annoying panic, causing trouble for both others and yourself.
Why bother?
"Oh, I see. Thank you," Yang Meng said.
Judging from his expression, he seemed to believe what Jiang Qiao said.
"I feel this train is quite strange," a girl next to him suddenly said.
"When I went to the toilet just now, I found that almost all the carriages on the train were empty. It felt like only our carriage was occupied."
"But when I boarded the train, I clearly saw people from other carriages get on."
The girl had barely finished speaking.
The boy with glasses also spoke up: "Hearing you say that, it does seem to be true. But when I went to the restroom, I saw a few people sitting sparsely in two of the carriages."
"These people are strange, though. They're staring straight at me, and they don't seem like good people."
"Is this train haunted?" a girl suddenly whispered.
These words were spoken.
The group immediately shivered.
"Damn it, don't talk nonsense." Yang Meng immediately reprimanded her.
"Perhaps other passengers have changed carriages. Let's not be suspicious. As long as the train is still running, there shouldn't be any major problems."
As he spoke, he pointed to the bright lights inside the carriage.
"I've heard that when paranormal events occur, there are magnetic field interferences. All lighting equipment and electronic products become unusable."
"Look how bright these lights are, how could it be haunted?"
"That makes sense." Upon hearing this, the others immediately relaxed, their initial tension dissipating.
"How about we ask the flight attendant how much longer it will take? We can also ask where the dining car is. I only brought a few bottles of water, no food, and I'm starving."
A girl suggested in a low voice.
"I'll still count…" Yang Meng was about to refuse on his first instinct.
However, before he could finish speaking, an angry voice suddenly came from the front of the carriage.
"What's going on? How did the train end up here?"
The sound was so loud that it immediately attracted everyone's attention.
A sleepy-eyed middle-aged man was yawning and muttering:
"Damn it, this isn't the route to Ancheng at all. What is this place?"
The man slept the whole time after getting on the bus.
I guess they plan to wake up and get off at the station.
When he woke up, he found that not only had they not arrived at their destination, but the scenery outside was also completely unfamiliar, and he immediately started making a fuss.
"No way? Are you sure you're not mistaken?"
"It's normal for train routes to change after the paranormal resurgence. Before the resurgence, the routes passed through several fallen cities."
"That's right. Currently, only trains to Ancheng and Yangcheng have resumed service, and there are only a few trains a day. How could they possibly go the wrong way?"
"..."
Everyone chimed in with their own opinions.
"You know nothing."
The middle-aged man seemed a little anxious; he stood up abruptly, pointed out the window, and cursed:
"After the paranormal resurgence, I've traveled back and forth several times, but there's no such route now."
"Look out the window yourselves—"
"Use your little brains again. Are there rolling mountains like this along the way from Lincheng to Ancheng?"
"No matter how the route changes, the geographical environment cannot be altered!"
Upon hearing the uncle's words, everyone looked out the window.
Immediately, everyone's expression changed drastically.
At that moment, towering mountains appeared outside the window, seemingly reaching into the clouds.
These mountains are majestic and stretch endlessly. They are covered with lush vegetation, making it look like you've entered the Ten Thousand Mountains, a primeval forest.
"Where is this place?"
The group of people were immediately dumbfounded.
The areas where Ancheng and Lincheng are located are plains. Although there are some small hills, they don't have this kind of terrain!
Just as everyone was confused, the train's public address system, which had been silent for a long time, started broadcasting again:
"Next stop: Black Coffin Mountain."
"Passengers who are getting off the train, please prepare."
