Dream Eater
A giant blood-red single eye, a large drill horn on its head, tentacles on either side…
Yu Hao’s pupils contracted, watching these familiar components coalesce, a look of surprise appearing on his face.
At this time, 【Starfire Train】’s front, an identical flesh monster was forming. Except for its blood-red color, it was otherwise identical to the 【Starfire Train】!
Yu Hao narrowed his eyes and immediately controlled the train to open its mouth.
He naturally wouldn’t wait for the flesh monster in front to fully form.
Attack now, and directly kill this monster in its cradle!
Swoosh——!
The frog tongue shot out.
Roar——!
The flesh monster, which had only formed a head, glared with its single eye and roared angrily, also opening its mouth, a crimson long tongue extending, colliding with the 【Starfire Train】’s frog tongue.
Bang——!
The two tongues collided, emitting a loud sound.
The resulting impact force momentarily dispersed the nearby rainwater.
The blood-red long tongue was not repelled by the frog tongue, possessing equally powerful momentum.
Inside the train room, Yu Hao’s expression became unprecedentedly serious.
He knew that he must have encountered an unusually weird existence tonight.
“Xiao Ai.”
“Xiao Ai!”
“…”
He tried calling Xiao Ai to help share the control of the train, so he could concentrate on controlling the frog tongue, but he received no response from Xiao Ai after two calls…
……
Whoosh whoosh whoosh——!
In an area behind the school, heavy rain poured down.
However, the color of the rain was not red.
In the center of the heavy rain, the 【Starfire Train】 stood quietly, allowing the rain to batter its train body without any movement.
Inside the train room.
Yu Hao and Li Bin were sleeping soundly in their seats, their brows furrowed.
In the carriage, everyone else was also fast asleep.
However, their sleeping postures did not have the relaxed and pleasant feeling of normal times, but rather, everyone was tense, their faces extremely unsightly…
Heavy, oppressive, painful, despairing…
Various negative emotions were reflected on their faces, each person’s condition being different.
The expressions of some people even became somewhat distorted, with blood flowing from all seven orifices…
Inside carriage number 3.
Lafite’s body trembled and began to convulse.
A look of despair appeared on his closed eyes.
In his dream, he was frantically running through the narrow carriage corridor.
Everyone in the carriage had disappeared, and only he was left on the entire train.
Besides that, there was a weird ‘himself’ behind him.
No matter how frantically he called for help, the only response was the crackling of candle wicks.
He ran from one carriage to the next, running far and long, but he could never reach the train head.
The train room was his only hope, Master Hao is so powerful, he might still be inside…
“Help!”
Lafite shouted and ran, knowing that he might have encountered a weird wall, and escaping had become somewhat hopeless, only hoping that Master Hao could hear his cries for help.
The light bulbs on the carriage top had become upside-down candles, the upward-burning candle flames melting the red wax, and large amounts of hot red wax dripping onto the ground, bright red like blood.
The red candles burned longer and longer, and moved without wind.
Each time the candle wick exploded, Lafite’s tongue would taste like rust.
The situation became increasingly worse, his vision became chaotic.
Constantly switching between first and third person perspectives.
He could see through the third person perspective that the scene behind him was rapidly fading to black and white, and within that black and white, there was a ‘person’ exactly like himself…
But he was already dead…
His death was tragic, his wide-open eyes filled with resentment and unwillingness.
He felt that if he stopped running or let the black and white behind him catch up, then he would die the same way as the ‘himself’ in black and white.
Therefore, even if it was an endless weird wall, constantly repeating the same scene, he could not stop running forward.
The situation on the scene was getting worse, the hot wax dripping from the top made the ground difficult to walk on.
At the same time, each time the candle wick exploded, besides the rust taste on his tongue, his tongue would also feel a needle-like sting, the intense pain affecting his nerves, making his figure somewhat staggering.
Lafite felt somewhat despairing.
If this continues, he will die…
…
Inside the train room.
Li Bin, with his eyes tightly closed, began to turn pale.
In his dream, he was in a strange room, lying on a long dining table in the room, his hands, feet, and body tightly bound, unable to move.
Beside the dining table, six attendants in work uniforms were standing, all wearing masks, their appearances unclear, only two crimson glows visible through the eyeholes of the masks.
Filled with greed and bloodlust.
They were wearing white gloves and were now preparing tools for food cutting and cooking.
Hammers, awls, saws, boning knives and other tools were taken out one by one.
The masked attendants murmured constantly, seemingly discussing how to cook the food later.
It was clearly not human speech, but Li Bin could understand the meaning.
Five of the six attendants would use the cutlery to slice his hands and feet and crack open his head to make sashimi.
Then the torso would be used to make a stew, cooked into a mature dish…
Now that the cooking utensils are ready, they are waiting for their master to return.
To ensure the freshness of the ingredients, so that the master can taste the best flavor upon his return.
They haven’t started cooking Li Bin yet, they have only completed the steps other than the cooking itself…
…
Outside the train.
The talismans on the train body were constantly being consumed.
Inside the train room.
In front of Yu Hao and Li Bin
A black background red text screen appeared in front of them.
