As the broadcast ended, the temperature in the room gradually began to drop, and although the air conditioner was still working hard to blow out hot air, it could not ward off the invasion of this Cold Current.

Even the three roommates, who were definitely not human, could not resist the cold wind. They immediately climbed onto their beds and wrapped themselves tightly in their blankets. Feng Xue, lying on the lower bunk, could even feel the girl on the upper bunk shivering.

Feng Xue didn't think they were faking it, because this Cold Current seemed to have some kind of extremely strong penetrating power. Even though he was wearing more than twenty layers of armor, he could still feel the chill that penetrated his body.

Kamen Rider Genjun's built-in temperature control system started working, but it was like holding a hand warmer in your arms and blowing cold air on it; even though the heat flowed along your skin, it couldn't stop the cold air from taking away your temperature.

The Hometown Tree in the flowerpot swayed gently, and the temperature rose slightly, but it remained cold. However, the cold wind was no longer as biting as it had been at the beginning.

Unfortunately, Hometown Tree isn't an air conditioner; it can only make the environment more habitable. But the scope of "habitable" is very vague. You can't say that a place is uninhabitable just because the winter temperature is below zero.

Feng Xue realized that the settings of different Phantom Object were colliding, so she immediately pretended to turn over in her sleep, rolled her body up, and rolled up the bed sheet. At the same time, the small blanket that had been hidden by the Hermit Authority was also revealed, and she wrapped another layer under the quilt that came with the sleeper.

Perhaps the blankets on the sleeper berth possess some special power; as the body is completely wrapped in them, the feeling of cold gradually begins to subside, as if all the chill has been kept out of the bedding.

However, Feng Xue had a vague feeling that things were probably not that simple.

After all, if simply covering yourself with a blanket could ward off the cold, then this hurdle would be far too easy.

Moreover, it seems that the three roommates will also be affected by the Cold Current, which means they probably won't suddenly get up and open the car window at night. Of course, there's a possibility they might risk their lives to open the window, but that obviously doesn't make sense.

Ultimately, the reason why Weird Tale rules can evoke a chilling sense of unease is precisely because of their inherent "logic." Without this logic, they would be nothing more than ordinary supernatural tales of indiscriminate killing.

That being said, we must still be on guard.

Feng Xue muttered to herself, because besides opening the window, there were two other rules about nighttime driving on this bus—

That means lights must Lights Out after midnight, and mobile phones and lighting equipment cannot be used.

And try to fall asleep before 1 a. m.

After a moment's thought, Feng Xue immediately reached for her waist and took out a card.

As mentioned before, many cards in Yu-Gi-Oh!! are practically useless under the game's rules, but they can be quite effective in real life. Outside of duels, he had prepared a large number of Phantom Object cards such as Acid Storm, Witch Hunt, Pot of Dragon Sealing, but in his hand at this moment was a useless Environment Magic Card—

[Dark].

Name: Phantom Object - Dark

Elements: [Environment], [Cards], [Spells], [Amplification], [Negation]

Description: An environment Magic Card from the Duel Ritual, possessing the magical effect of turning the field into a dark domain. This domain not only obscures vision but also comprehensively enhances the power of demons and spellcasters, while weakening angels.

Note: Beware of catapult turtles.

As the environmental Magic Card unfolded, the entire room was enveloped in deep darkness, to the point that even turning on a powerful flashlight in this space would have no effect.

With the cover of darkness, Feng Xue no longer had to worry about Lao Liu sweeping outside with a flashlight in the middle of the night. After setting up the awakening function for Kamen Rider Armor and leaving six Gu Poison Body around for all-round monitoring, she finally fell asleep through meditation...

As midnight approached, all the lights on the K7 Train, which had stopped at Hongxiongji Station, went out almost simultaneously. The train, its surface covered with a layer of frost, slowly crawled along the tracks, disappearing into the darkness under the station lights, leaving only the clattering sound fading into the night.

Time ticked by, and soon it was one in the morning. The biting wind howled, and inside the vehicle, a few faint noises began to emanate.

"Pat-pat, pat-pat, pat..."

The sound of barefoot footsteps on the ground woke Feng Xue from his sleep, who was always on guard. He didn't move, but opened his eyes slightly and glanced at the clock inside the Kamen Rider. It was just past one o'clock.

The footsteps beside him grew closer and closer. He could almost see a figure slowly approaching his bedside, scrutinizing him in his sleep with a pair of scarlet eyes.

"Wait a minute, this doesn't follow the rules. It's supposed to be before midnight... Oh, I was woken up. Never mind then."

Feng Xue's lips twitched, but asking him to continue sleeping now... aside from whether it would be useful, he certainly wouldn't be able to fall asleep anyway.

As the voice drew closer, Feng Xue tensed up, his Internal Force flowing through his limbs and bones. Although jumping out might subject him to a Cold Current, given his physique and Internal Force strength, the Cold Current, controlled by the Hometown Tree within the "habitable" range, should not be enough to instantly kill him.

Having made up my mind, I suddenly felt a chill, followed by a heavy pressure and a feeling of suffocation.

Feeling the pressure emanating from her chest, Feng Xue's initial vigilance instantly turned into bewilderment. At that moment, a woman with slightly pale skin and bloodshot eyes was staring down at her with a pair of eyes filled with malice and resentment, yet also with a hint of expectation.

The pressure and touch penetrated the bedding and armor, clinging directly to Feng Xue's body. The chilling coldness and the strange, soft, and oppressive sensation brought a strange sense of suffocation to her heart.

"Ghost Pressing Bed?" Feng Xue's lips twitched slightly, even though she didn't need to breathe. Undoubtedly, this oppressive feeling that ignored any Phantom Object defenses was an influence at the level of authority. But... is this guy here to kill, or to deliver a treat?

No need for further explanation, the Gynomorphic Filter is forever a god!

The ghost clinging to Feng Xue had no other thoughts. She simply continued to exert pressure on the man beneath her, as usual, anticipating the emotional outburst that would lead from bewilderment to terror, and from terror to despair.

However, after one minute, two minutes, when an ordinary person should have been struggling to breathe, the person beneath him showed no reaction whatsoever, still appearing to be fast asleep. But since he was able to make a move, this man must have already woken up!

Was I not strong enough?

Thinking this, the ghost increased its force, even grinding its way into his chest a few times, trying to expel the air from his lungs as well.

Then...

Finally, there were signs of impending death!

The reason ambulances are considered a game-changer is because they take both the patient and their family members away! In other words, regardless of whether the person in the ambulance is a bomber or their family member is, the ambulance arrives and takes them all away. Any explosions will happen elsewhere, unrelated to the ambulance itself. Surely no one thinks ambulances are just for picking up doctors, right?

By the way, since very few people probably travel in sleeper berths these days, some people are wondering about parking spaces, so let me explain.

A typical Soft Sleeper (excluding high-sleeper) consists of four large rooms in one carriage, with two bunk beds in each room, totaling four berths per room and sixteen people per carriage.

Hard sleeper is similar to Hard Seat, except that there are three berths: upper, middle, and lower. To be honest, hard sleeper is the least comfortable of the three types because you can only lie down. If you want to eat something, you have to sit on the lower berth. But because there are three levels, you can't straighten your back when you're sitting.

As for Soft Sleeper, there are issues with hygiene and safety, so nobody likes to sit in them. In the past, sleeper berths were only purchased for extremely long distances; otherwise, people would rather sit in Hard Seat or soft seats. In recent years, for longer distances, people simply fly.
