Dressed as an abandoned daughter of a wealthy family, she relies on metaphysics to become a god
Chapter 1063 Empty Carriage
"Ding--"
He Kaiyan was so scared that he shuddered. The sound came from the front of the train, but this train had been abandoned for several years. How could there still be a bell ringing?
He walked towards the cab, and suddenly, he caught a glimpse of a navy blue figure.
That definitely wasn't Xiao Mo. Xiao Mo was wearing their school uniform, which was light blue.
His heart beat faster and faster. Even though he knew there was no one in the cab, he couldn't suppress his panic.
"No, I have to go check it out. What if someone is trapped inside?"
Thinking of this, He Kaiyan suddenly found the courage to move forward, and he only took two or three steps before he breathed a sigh of relief.
The cab was not sealed, but separated by a layer of hazy glass. He saw not a person, but a hanging uniform.
He looked at it carefully for a while and vaguely saw some glowing objects, which seemed to be buttons used to operate the train.
He couldn't understand why the conductor's clothes were not put away but hung in the cab, and the train was not powered off, allowing those bizarre buttons to light up, as if the train was still running and just stopped at this station to rest for a while.
He Kaiyan turned around and walked towards the back of the car. The deeper he went, the more confused he felt.
Carriage No. 01 was relatively clean and tidy. However, starting from the second section, some unfinished food, mineral water, and even an ashtray with a half-smoked cigarette appeared on the table.
The red cloth carpet on the ground was also wrinkled, with melon seed shells and residues everywhere. He Kaiyan even tripped over a can on the ground.
He picked up a bag of biscuits. The production date was five years ago, which matched the time when the train was abandoned.
The climate in the north is dry, so the biscuits inside did not get moldy or hairy, but they were all dried out. With a slight shake, they broke into more than a dozen pieces.
The whole carriage smelled like a garbage dump, which was disgusting. Fortunately, He Kaiyan found footprints on the ground.
He compared it with his own feet and found that the footprint was slightly larger than his, so it should be Xiao Mo's.
He was not going in the wrong direction, Xiao Mo did go to the back.
He Kaiyan's previous fear was dispelled by the excitement. He followed the footprints and soon reached the last carriage.
Strangely, the last carriage was empty.
It's not that there is no garbage and unfinished food in the carriage, but that there is nothing in the entire carriage, not even seats, tables or carpets.
However, He Kaiyan soon figured out the reason. He had read an article about trains. Some trains had low occupancy rates. In order to ensure revenue, some of the carriages would be converted into freight carriages.
And because the train is not a dedicated freight train, it usually only carries small and easy-to-transport items.
Apparently, this train is in a similar situation, as the last carriage has no carpets or tables or chairs, and is designed to carry cargo.
A drop of water interrupted his thoughts, and He Kaiyan touched the skin under his eyelids in a daze.
It was icy cold, but when it stained my hands it turned into a dirty color.
He rubbed his fingers vigorously several times, but the black stain could not be wiped off, as if it had penetrated his skin and turned into a mole.
He Kaiyan raised his head and saw a hand pointing at the tip of his nose about thirty or forty centimeters above his head.
And that drop of unknown liquid also dripped from the fingertips of that hand.
For a moment, he didn't even react to what he saw. Large patches of dark red occupied his vision, accompanied by black, wax-like things, embedded in the top layer in extremely strange and twisted postures.
He soon realized that the "wax figures" were people.
The incomplete human corpses were hung from the ceiling, no, it should be said that they had become one with the ceiling.
The long-term hanging has caused their facial features to fall off their faces, especially the pairs of unwilling eyeballs, which are almost about to pop out of their sockets.
These people include both young and old, with men making up the majority and women mostly carrying children.
The clothes they wore were fixed as if in plaster, while the color faded to a grayish white, which contrasted sharply with their dark faces.
In the decades that followed, whenever He Kaiyan closed his eyes, he would think of the painful expressions on those people's faces.
He couldn't imagine what had happened before that caused these people to die tragically on the train, and what kind of unspeakable reason had caused the train to be abandoned on the track.
Or maybe it’s because no one dares to approach this train. Anyone who approaches it will become a ghost on the ceiling.
He Kaiyan finally understood that this carriage was not emptied but was "distorted".
For some unknown reason, the entire carriage was turned 180 degrees, or in other words, upside down.
The place where He Kaiyan was standing was the original ceiling of the carriage, and the seats and passengers that were originally on the ground were fixed above, and even the luggage and food they carried were turned over.
But this flipping only occurred inside the train, because from the outside, the train still looked normal.
At this moment, there was only one thought in He Kaiyan's mind - he must leave here.
Never mind the weird desk mate or the exciting adventure; this train was beyond his understanding.
He himself could feel that he seemed to have accidentally touched another world, a dangerous and forbidden area.
He Kaiyan couldn't figure out how he got back to school. When he came to his senses, he was already on the school playground.
"Was the train just now real... or did I have a heat stroke and was hallucinating?" he thought to himself.
"Hey!"
Someone patted his shoulder heavily. It was Brother Tian.
"Where have you been? I've been looking for you for a long time but couldn't find you!" Brother Tian muttered, "It's not hot, why are you sweating so much?"
"I..." He Kaiyan had just uttered half a word when he found himself exhausted and powerless, unable to even stand steadily.
It was Brother Tian who helped him up. Brother Tian exclaimed, "Oh my god! Your clothes are wet?! Did you fall into a puddle?"
He Kaiyan forced a smile and said, "I just went to wash my hands, and the faucet broke, and it splashed all over me. I didn't react in time, and this is what happened."
"Oh, then you are really unlucky." Brother Tian said as he handed him a small box, "Here, what you want, that..."
He raised his eyebrows, and He Kaiyan naturally understood what he meant and promised to lend him the game console after school.
After getting this assurance, Brother Tian felt relieved. He ran to the basketball court and continued playing basketball with several other boys.
He Kaiyan also quietly ran to the fourth floor of the teaching building. Their teaching building was two buildings that were perpendicular to each other and put together. At the corner of the fourth floor, there was a music classroom.
This classroom is smaller than the others. There is an old piano at the entrance and five rows of tiered seats at the back.
He Kaiyan heard that students used to come here to take music classes, with students from several classes gathered together, and the choir teacher would assign voice parts to each person.
Later, the school changed the rules and required the music teacher to bring an electronic piano to each class, and this music classroom became abandoned.
By chance, the door of the music classroom was not locked, so He Kaiyan sneaked in and played the piano for a while.
His parents attached great importance to interest-based education, and He Kaiyan attended many cram schools since he was a child. He was born smart and quickly learned every subject to the highest level of an amateur.
He himself knew that these were just icing on the cake for him, and he had no intention of making a living from these skills in the future.
However, if a junior high school student can reach the level of Level 10, it will also be impressive.
He Kaiyan hadn't played the piano for a long time, so he was a little awkward at first, but he soon found the familiar feel and gradually got into the groove.
He originally only wanted to play for three to five minutes, but unexpectedly he became more and more absorbed in the music, as if his entire being melted into the music, oblivious to his own identity and surroundings.
When the song ended, he heard enthusiastic applause and then he realized there was a thin adult behind him.
He Kaiyan didn't know him, but his identity was easy to guess.
"Little classmate, you have been learning piano for eight or nine years, right?" the man asked kindly.
After listening for a few minutes, he could tell that the child had been learning piano since he was at least four or five years old.
He Kaiyan shook his head and said, "I started learning it in elementary school, and I have been learning it for five years now."
The man was shocked. Children's comprehension and learning abilities are far behind adults. Many children who start practicing piano at a young age need one or two years to learn to read music.
And this child has only studied for five years and yet he has reached the highest amateur level. He is truly a genius among millions.
Unfortunately, there are too many geniuses in the world. In front of the top geniuses, everyone else will be overshadowed.
"This is the spare key to the music classroom. You like playing the piano, so come here more often to play it in the future." The man handed him a rusty copper key. "The sound insulation of this classroom is very good, so you don't have to worry about disturbing others."
Since getting the key, the music classroom has become He Kaiyan's secret base.
He not only comes here to play the piano, but more often than not, he just enjoys being alone.
The teacher never came to the music classroom again, and He Kaiyan even suspected that he had been transferred.
He Kaiyan swiftly opened the classroom door with his key. He had placed a spare set of school uniforms in the music classroom, which he would use today.
After changing his clothes, he packed the wet clothes in a bag and threw them into the trash can in the corridor.
He didn't want to see anything about this afternoon because as soon as he saw it, he would be reminded of the terrible scene in the carriage.
He was still young at that time and had no idea that after experiencing a major trauma, he must receive psychological counseling, otherwise he would develop a stress disorder.
Just as he was hesitating whether to open the small box, the school bell rang.
Although teachers do not count the number of students, the school gate will be closed after half an hour and there are no security guards guarding the gate at night.
This means that He Kaiyan cannot stay in school for too long.
He had to make a decision, whether to return the thing to Xiao Mo before Xiao Mo left school, or take it back home.
"I'll just take a look at it, and then return it to Xiao Mo and say that I found it..." He Kaiyan thought.
He took out the box from his pocket again. The box was wrapped in a layer of velvet and was heavy. No one knew what treasure was inside.
He untied the straps and used his left hand to lift the upper part of the box. After trying several times, the middle of the box seemed to be welded shut and could not be opened at all.
He Kaiyan was a little puzzled. The box was not even the size of a palm and it was impossible to hold too many things.
Generally speaking, what is placed there is nothing more than a ring, a pendant or something like that, or it could be a coiled bracelet.
But, since it is a jewelry box, how could it not be opened?
He took a closer look and found that there was indeed a crack in the middle of the box, and he could vaguely see a faint glare.
"Could it be that there are diamonds in here?"
If it is really a diamond and is valuable, if Xiao Mo calls the police, the police will also take it very seriously.
He thought he was just a little clever compared to his peers, but he never thought he could hide it from the police.
"Hey, I knew you were here!"
He Kaiyan was startled. Brother Tian leaned over with a face that deserved a beating and said, "What are you doing here? Have you changed your clothes?"
"How do you know I'm here?" He Kaiyan frowned.
He couldn't figure it out. Every time he came to the music classroom, he deliberately avoided others. How could Brother Tian discover his whereabouts?
"Your deskmate said so. I just returned to the classroom and saw that you were not there. I thought you had left." Brother Tian touched his head and said, "Hey, why did you go to such a remote place to change clothes?"
Without waiting for He Kaiyan to answer, he continued to talk: "It's strange, your deskmate usually doesn't talk much, but he was unusual today. Also, I didn't even ask him, he just said that the person you were looking for was in the music classroom on the fourth floor. I didn't even know there was a music classroom before..."
Did Xiao Mo tell Brother Tian?
He Kaiyan became more and more confused. How could Xiao Mo know that he was in the music classroom?
Moreover, it was so weird that he actually took the initiative to talk to Brother Tian.
"Where is he? Is he still in the classroom?" He Kaiyan asked hurriedly.
"What is he doing in the classroom? He's not cleaning." Brother Tian said with a hint of disdain, "He's running pretty fast, like a rabbit, running at full speed, which is not like him at all. You know, he usually walks slowly, like an old woman."
He Kaiyan had no intention of joking with him, he held the box tightly in his hand.
"Hey, I want to discuss something with you..." Brother Tian suddenly said, "Can you let me take a look at the thing you asked me to get?"
