"Thief! Take your life!"
The strong man then drew his sword out of its sheath and slashed it out, decapitating the goddess who had just been stunned by his huge voice. It was very fierce! "You accomplices! Come and die too!"
Killing one person was not enough, so the strong man then galloped on his horse, his sword flying left and right, and with a few charges, he slaughtered all the people who had been holding firewood to make a fire.
"Killing! Killing!"
Some surrounding villagers were frightened when they saw this, and fled outside as hard as they could, no longer daring to continue watching the fun.
"Little girl, have I spared anyone who deserves to be killed?"
After killing seven or eight people in a row, the strong man came to the wooden cage and asked the frightened woman inside.
"No... no... the little girl only asks... that the strong man should not... create... kill evil again..."
The village girl answered hesitantly, obviously frightened by the thunderous methods of the strong man in front of her who rescued her.
"Haha... I think you have good luck today, and you can take care of yourself in the future!"
After realizing that the village girl didn't seem to be very grateful to him, the strong man laughed at himself twice, split open the wooden cage holding her, and then rode away on a maroon horse without looking back.
"Thank you, little lady, Celestial Venerable!"
After the strong man left, the village girl inside quickly got out of the broken cage. She immediately raised her head to the sky and thanked a certain existence, and then ran away quickly.
What this woman doesn't know is that the target of her faith is actually the strong man who came to save her just now, specifically Wang Zhifan disguised as a strong man, but Wang Zhifan is currently not satisfied with her reaction.
"I can't be too casual about developing followers in the future. That woman just now has no ability to help me at all, and she has no potential to tap given her personality. If something happens to her in the future, I won't be too lazy to care."
In fact, Wang Zhifan's plan of pretending to be a strong man to rescue the village girl just now was not that simple. He was actually planning to give the village girl more help so that she could play more roles. However, he actually heard this guy plead for mercy for the person who framed him. This kind of stupidity and cowardice disappointed him, so he canceled the subsequent steps and let this guy fend for himself in the future. After all, he was definitely her savior. He saved her twice and had done his best.
After solving this unexpected situation with some disappointment, Wang Zhifan then took off his disguise and went to Pingwu City. He was going to solve his stomach problem and purchase some edible ingredients in the instance. Then he went to Pingwu City. Returning to the real world, I went out and did a big purchase there, but the purchase was for some vegetables, meat, seasonings and other cooking supplies for the two maids Yilin and Yali to study their cooking skills.
After finishing all these miscellaneous things, he counted the equipment on his body and officially started a new round of dungeon.
[Copy goal: Complete a task posted by Death Train.]
[Note: The Punishment Instance mechanism will be lifted during this copy.]
[Detected that you are VIP Player, starting to initialize your copy identity...]
[Your copy identity is set to: Captain.]
[Captain: Although you are new here, you were selected by Death Train as the team leader of Carriage 666, and you have additional train permissions.]
"Death Train? Captain? Why do you feel a vague sense of déjà vu?"
At this moment, Wang Zhifan was already sitting in a high-speed train car, but strangely, the seats in front, behind, and on the left and right of him were empty. He was the only passenger in the whole car. What was even weirder was that outside the closed glass window, there was not a normal journey scenery, but a very strange and uneven blood color, and something was surging in the blood from time to time.
"Why is this copy so weird? Where are the other players?"
After looking out the window for a few moments, Wang Zhifan couldn't sit still. This time the dungeon gave him a very bad feeling. Not only was the dungeon target a bit unclear, but the overall dungeon environment was also unprecedented, with everything being weird.
He then walked from his seat to the aisle in the middle of the car, and walked along the aisle to the door connecting the next car. The door was made entirely of metal, with only a smaller window in the middle, allowing him to see the scene on the other side of the window.
It was a human face, a very bloated Pallor human face. The human face was pressed against the small windowpane opposite, looking at him with blank eyes, and the black lips that kept opening and closing slightly seemed to be simulating a sentence: "Open the door."
"It seems that this is a ghost copy, and the ghosts are quite powerful."
Seeing at a glance that the face opposite the small window was not human, Wang Zhifan thought to himself that his perception was very powerful and he could tell that the ghost on the opposite side was not an ordinary type, but it seemed that the other side could not break through the restrictions of this train and could not freely pass through.
Just as Wang Zhifan was analyzing the characteristics of this copy in his mind, he heard a pleasant female voice coming from the speaker above his head:
"Dear passengers, Platform 14 is about to arrive. Passengers getting off the train please be prepared."
"We're about to arrive at the station? Should I get off?"
Wang Zhifan was speechless after hearing this. He remembered that the requirement for this copy was to complete a task issued by Death Train. As a result, he had no clue at all and was completely confused.
To be on the safe side, he felt it was better not to get off the bus casually, but to see what the situation would be like when he arrived at the station.
Of course, during this period, he did not wait around. He actively walked around the car, trying to find more clues.
Needless to say, during this period of observation, he really noticed two things that he had ignored just now.
First, he found a carriage sign above a window located in the middle of the carriage. The "666" on it indicated that the carriage he was currently in was the one mentioned when setting his identity in the previous copy.
Then he found a small screen hanging at the end of the carriage. The screen was off, so he didn't pay much attention to it just now, but now he felt that since it appeared here, it must have its use.
"Woo~"
Not long after, the two trains made a howling sound like ghosts and wolves, began to slow down slowly and gradually stopped. On the route they were traveling, one could see a number of figures waiting on an old platform that looked a bit old. There were men and women among them, but most of them were relatively young, and the oldest was only in their forties.
"I asked where my teammates were, and they turned out to be waiting on the platform."
Wang Zhifan could tell at a glance that several people on the platform were players with equipment, while others looked very ordinary and should be dungeon NPCs. This answered his doubts about where his teammates were just now.
"So according to the arrangement of my identity in the previous dungeon, I actually have a dual identity. I am both a player and an NPC captain? Isn't this completely cheating?"
Wang Zhifan already understood why he appeared alone in this Carriage 666. The reason was that the copy arranged for him to be the NPC captain, but did not provide him with any additional information, which made him feel very speechless.
"The previous text said that I have additional train authority... I have to find relevant information as soon as possible. There must be some clues."
After thinking about this, he intuitively walked towards the small screen he had just discovered and walked up to it.
This small screen hanging in the corner of the carriage was not currently on, and there were no buttons on it. It seemed that it could only play advertisements delivered by the train system. However, when Wang Zhifan got closer to it, he felt that he could control it, so he stretched out his hand and clicked on the dark screen.
Sure enough, as he did this action, the small screen quickly lit up, displaying a blood-red human face. The face then moved its lips, and said in a low voice, "Captain Carriage 666, what do you want to know? Is it the target of your team's next mission? Or is it the enemy we have to face? I can only answer you one question before this mission is completed."
"Tell me the mission goal."
Wang Zhifan heard this and immediately understood that this should be his captain authority, and immediately responded. After all, the goal of this copy is to complete the mission released by this train.
"The goal of your team's next mission: to solve all the evil entrenched in Platform 17 Evil Spirit Building."
As soon as the blood-red face finished speaking, the entire small screen quickly shut down. Wang Zhifan couldn't do anything to trick it. No matter how many times he touched the screen, he couldn't make it appear again.
"It is indeed a ghost copy. It doesn't seem to be difficult to eliminate the evil spirits in the building."
After obtaining the key information, Wang Zhifan suddenly felt that he had grasped the context of this strange copy. At the same time, he also heard the arrival announcement from the speaker above the carriage:
"Platform 14 is here, passengers please get on and off the bus in an orderly manner."
Along with the pleasant female voice, Wang Zhifan saw that the train he was on had stopped at the old platform he had seen before, and the side door of Carriage 666 he was on opened, and some people on the platform walked towards the door of the carriage.
Although he didn't plan to get off the train, he still stood at the door and looked outside. Then he saw that many carriages of this amazingly long train had their doors opened, and people from some carriages even came out to the platform to greet passengers.
"This is Car No. 660! If you want to get on the train, hurry up!"
"Car No. 663! Someone come quickly!"
"I also got out of the car and asked people to come up."
Seeing that most people in other carriages were shouting, Wang Zhifan felt that this could be followed. Otherwise, he would be the only one in this carriage and become the leader. But then again, it doesn't seem to be too bad? "Carriage 666! The most auspicious and luckiest carriage! Come here if you want to be lucky!"
He then jumped down from the car door, landed on the platform, and started shouting hello like the people in other cars.
The number of people on the platform was not that small in general, but spread out around the terrifying length of the train, it seemed a bit sparse. Only some people who were closer noticed him.
"Carriage 666? Let's go into this one! We can't see much difference anyway!"
A young man with dark eyes who seemed to stay up late all the time heard Wang Zhifan shouting and raised his hand, pointed at him, and suggested to the other men and two women beside him.
"No. 666? That's fine. It's quite auspicious. As long as it's not No. 444, it'll be fine."
One of the men, who looked to be in his thirties with a greasy face, immediately nodded in agreement.
"If you're sure, go there quickly! Don't miss the train and fail to complete the dungeon mission!"
Another woman with a slightly cold face answered. After she finished speaking, she took the lead and walked towards Wang Zhifan.
"Several players actually chose my carriage. It's hard to say that this was not a deliberate arrangement."
After discovering that these people were the players on the platform that he had seen in the train before, Wang Zhifan suddenly thought to himself.
A total of four players then jumped on the car door behind him and entered the car. He continued to shout below for a while, attracting two more people who were not players.
One of them was a very young boy, probably more than ten years old. The first thing he asked after noticing Wang Zhifan made him a little confused, "Uncle, where is this? I want to go to class with Star City No. 1 High School, but I can't find the way at all?"
As soon as Wang Zhifan heard what he said, he understood that this should be a common setting in the ghost world. Passers-by came to a very strange place in a daze, so he replied, "This is Death Train. Coming up is not a good thing. You'd better find a way back. I can't help you with the rest."
He wasn't sure whether he should let the mistaken NPC enter the train, and he didn't even know what the consequences would be if he got on the train or not, so he simply gave a few reminders.
"Death Train? Haha... Uncle, you are so funny!"
The boy who was still studying laughed out loud when he heard his answer, not realizing the seriousness of the problem at all.
Wang Zhifan ignored him. He turned his attention to another approaching passenger. The other passenger was a tall man who looked a bit demonic. He was wearing a white suit but had bright lipstick on his lips. He twisted his waist when he walked, giving people a very awkward feeling.
When this shemale-like man was about to board the car door, Wang Zhifan immediately reached out to stop him.
"Stop! You are not allowed to enter my car!"
He said to the passenger in a cold tone.
"What? Do you dare to discriminate against our minority groups? I want to sue..."
The man in a white suit with bright lipstick looked angry when he saw this, and was about to curse Wang Zhifan loudly.
"I don't have a problem with what kind of group you are, but I have a huge problem with you not being an individual!"
Wang Zhifan then interrupted this transvestite's nonsense and revealed a fact that he cared about very much.
"You..."
After hearing this, the shemale wanted to pretend to be aggrieved at first, but when he saw Wang Zhifan in front of him with unwavering eyes, his expression quickly changed. His face began to turn green and black, and his eyes even gave out a malicious look. His bright red lips even spit out a slender tongue and danced in the air. He said to Wang Zhifan who was blocking him in a sinister way, "How did you see that?"
