Chapter 403: Chapter 80: The Train

There are three deaths in one’s life. The first one is the death of the physical body. The heart stops beating, and the breath no longer ebbs and flows. From a biological perspective, he is dead.

The second death happens at the funeral when everyone who knew him comes to mourn.

Be it family, friendship, or even hatred. All interpersonal relationships have erased him; this is death in society.

After all, humans are social animals, each building their own relationship circles.

When everyone believes he is already dead, he is erased from society’s relationship circles.

After the mountain climbing group of six went missing, the search and rescue team found nothing.

Eventually, they could only declare them missing.

Their family and friends were devastated and heartbroken.

Who would have thought that they were once saved but went through inhuman pain and became demons and ghosts, unable to meet their loved ones again.

"Faking a mountain climbing accident makes them dead in the eyes of the outsiders. They are the so-called missing climbers. This is death in existence. The enemy took advantage of this point."

After contemplating for a moment, Li Changhe went to the [forum] and searched for the keyword ’Ba Mountain.’

He hoped to find some clues.

Unfortunately, there weren’t many posts about Ba Mountain.

The most recent one was posted two days ago.

It was said that in a city near the Ba Mountain Range, a [periodic task] appeared, involving more than twenty [players].

Later, several [players] went missing, which was quite strange.

[Players] can communicate and confirm each other’s life and death through [friends].

But those missing [players]’ nicknames were still shining in their [friends] list, unable to give any response.

Some speculated that they might have been dragged into the world where the [periodic task] was located.

Others said that the players had been restrained by some player organizations or extraordinary people.

After all, the identity of [players] is precious, and there are specialized purchases of [player items] in some underground industries, such as [High-Efficiency Healing Liquid] and other drugs. The prices are high.

Even the auctioning off of [player] identities is a thing.

Capturing low-level [players] that haven’t grown yet, and using drugs or other means to make them lose their combat power and autonomy.

Then selling them to the highest bidder, who kills them and obtains their [player] identity.

This has also happened in [player organizations], turning their relatives and friends into [players] to strengthen the organization’s power.

It’s quite ironic that [players] have also become prey in some people’s eyes.

"However, this matter should have nothing to do with Qiaodu. It’s too far away." Li Changhe couldn’t find any clues related to Ba Mountain and Qiaodu City in the [forum].

...

At the same time, 200 kilometers away from Qiaodu in the Ba Mountain area, a rocky forest suddenly echoed with a piercing bell sound, and two iron rails that shouldn’t be there began to spread from the depths of the forest.

Shortly after, a giant train emerged from the depths of the rails, unobstructed as it passed through all the trees and debris.

The train was moving fast, but one could vaguely see the brightly lit carriages and the walking shadows inside. Even with high-speed cameras, their appearances couldn’t be captured. They seemed like creatures from another world, unfathomable and undetectable.

A few seconds later, the rails disappeared.

It was like a mirage, leaving no trace behind.

Even if someone saw it, the witness would most likely doubt their eyes. Who would believe that a train appeared and vanished in an instant in the forest?

However, the onlookers hiding in the woods had different thoughts.

They wore black trench coats and stood in the darkness, watching the train appear and disappear in silence.

Someone spoke, "I knew it, in a place filled with such resentment, it could be observed. The Strategy Group was right."

"Just a moment ago, communication was restored, and a colleague inside relayed some information. The next location should be in the northwest direction of Ba Mountain Range."

"What cities are in that direction?"

"That would be Yushan, Bazhou, or Qiaodu. Next, our job is to search for these three places."

"Has the colleague inside managed to encounter any trouble?"

"Not yet, the passengers are very restrained, as getting on the train is not easy. Without investigating clearly, no one plans to use force. Our colleague already tested it; the opponent’s blood vessels bulged with anger but managed to grit their teeth and endure."

"It’s a pity that, at that time, there was not enough information. For safety reasons, the colleague who went up on the train had a high level but was not skilled enough in provocation. If it was Chen Guang, maybe by the time the train arrived at its destination, there would be no other passengers left on it." Someone sighed, "He’s the tough guy who chased a [Holder] for three hours."

A sturdy-faced, square-jawed man shook his head, "Enough, if that guy were on the train, he would probably attack the train staff directly and take all the goods. He wouldn’t care about offending the intangible Divine Spirit Species. He only cares about the immediate benefits. If you let him on the train, there will be only two outcomes: either he kills off all the [players] on the train, and we successfully capture the ghost train at the cost of missing a large amount of goods, or he gets killed by the people from the train and we go to his grave to burn money for him afterward."

"Is Chen Guang that evil?" someone exclaimed in amazement, "It’s a pity that Yan Yun branch is too far away, and we’ve never met him during tasks. Otherwise, I’d really like to meet him."

"You will surely regret it and think about how unlucky you were to meet such a person for the rest of your life," the square-jawed middle-aged man responded disdainfully, "If one day all the [players] in the world want Chen Guang’s life, I wouldn’t be surprised. In some story worlds, as soon as Chen Guang’s name is mentioned, even two story forces with a longstanding feud would lay down their grudges and join forces to siege him."

"What a wild guy!"

Yang Dong grinned, thinking Chen Guang was merely playing games, but the real badass is the one who scares people into not even daring to mention his name.
