When Ji Yan entered the sixth carriage, he froze for a moment.
Yuan Shu, following behind him, looked ahead with a blank stare as well. "Good grief, this carriage... is completely different from what we imagined?"
There was no blood or corpses in the sixth carriage. Instead, it was packed full of people.
Not only were all the seats occupied, but the aisle was crammed with passengers standing shoulder to shoulder.
Every passenger seemed unfazed, all of them staring down at their phones—some listening to music, others scrolling through videos.
The white-haired man at the front scratched his white hair.
"What the hell? It's the last train. Where did all these people come from?"
Just then, an announcement sounded through the carriage—
"Welcome, Players from carriages seven and eight, to carriage six. The game will continue. Please locate the Eerie hidden among the crowd in this carriage."
"Due to the arrival of new Players, the game duration will be extended—"
As the voice faded, the seventh carriage behind them clicked and fell into darkness.
"Find an Eerie? Hide-and-seek? Is the sixth-carriage stage really this simple?"
The white-haired man narrowed his eyes, clearly unconvinced.
Behind them, Yuan Shu rubbed her shriveled stomach. "The game announcement's stage description can't be false..."
"It only means the Eerie we're looking for won't be that simple."
The last train could not possibly be this overcrowded, which meant that Eerie could create "people" to deceive them.
Ji Yan had wanted to refute Yuan Shu, but after thinking it over, he remained silent.
A countdown began on the display screen. They had only five minutes—
He stared at the screen and noticed something.
Then he looked across the entire carriage, his eyes gradually narrowing. Ji Yan muttered, "Well, well. So that's how it is..."
