Fantasy Game: Infinite City

"Doo-dong."

As the train moves, the friction between the wheels and the rails covers up most of the noise, making it ideal for peeping.

The door of a carriage was opened a crack, and five furtive eyes were neatly arranged vertically, secretly peeking at what was going on inside the carriage.

"No one, same as the previous carriage."

A few seconds later, the door of the carriage was slowly opened, and a ball of paper was thrown in, turning into a small paper man about ten centimeters in size. The paper man turned around carefully in the carriage, then fell to the ground and turned into ashes. The wind from somewhere blew away the ashes.

Five people quietly walked into the carriage and checked the hidden corners inside the carriage again, but they found nothing. There were only monster remains on the ground in this carriage. It seemed that there were quite a lot of them, almost matching the number of seats in the carriage.

"Judging from some relatively intact wreckage, these wreckage should be monsters from Fuso urban legends. Just like the ones in the carriages we passed by before, they were all killed by brute force."

"From the remains, these monsters are all semi-spiritual. It seems that the people who killed them must have powerful methods of attacking souls. But I can't understand why the wounds on these remains all look like they were caused by brute force. This is very contradictory."

"It could be some skill that can work on both the soul and the body at the same time. That makes sense."

"Could it be the man dressed as a soldier who did it?"

“Not sure, but it’s very likely.”

Several people left this carriage and continued to move towards the next carriage. Since the five people left the dining car at the end of the train, the carriages they saw on the road were basically like this. Except for a large number of monster remains, there was no living person. And judging from the traces left on the train, these monsters had not been dead for long.

Moreover, the closer the carriage is to the middle of the train, the cleaner it is. Some of the carriages do not even have any monster remains. It looks like someone is consciously clearing out the monsters on the train and throwing their remains out of the train, but it seems that he has little patience and only cleaned a few carriages.

"From this perspective, the middle carriage should be where we are going. And if we saw it correctly, that is where the man dressed as a soldier and the woman dressed as a conductor got on the train."

"Tell us what you think, and we'll discuss what to do next."

The five people sat in a relatively clean carriage, discussing in low voices. This place was two or three carriages away from the middle of the train, so it was relatively safe.

"After completing the previous mission, the system has remained silent. We have very little information at hand. The only thing we can be sure of is that the style of this dungeon should be based on Japanese supernatural and urban legends."

"One thing is certain. This instance is at least a large instance. The train has been traveling for such a long time and has not yet reached the next stop."

"So what this means is that the easiest place to get information is the middle carriage of the train, and the easiest people to get information are the officer and the conductor."

"In that case, it seems we must go there and take a look. However, I am not sure whether that soldier is the one who killed these monsters."

"And the planes that appeared not long after they got on the bus. Judging from the flames from the explosions, they were quite large. If it was done by that soldier or the conductor, then they are very dangerous. If they fight alone, none of the five of us can defeat them."

"It's unclear whether he is an enemy or a player. If he is a player, it's relatively easy to deal with. If he is a monster or an enemy in the dungeon, it's not so easy to deal with."

Meng Rou shook the lantern with a relaxed expression.

"Why don't we just go and take a look? The lantern is already charged. I saved the souls of the five of us in advance and chose the dining car at the rear as the rebirth location. Besides, maybe we won't need it."

"That makes things much easier. Let's go and take a look!"

With the option of resurrection, the five people's steps became more confident, but they were still relatively cautious. After all, no one knew what they would encounter in the middle carriage.

Arriving at the door of the middle carriage, the five men enhanced their abilities, took out their weapons, and were ready to unleash offensive skills at any time.

Liu Qiuning did the same thing again and quietly released a paper man into the carriage. There were indeed some monsters from urban legends in the carriage, but none of them paid attention to the direction of the five people.

Su Wen shook the voodoo doll in his hand and opened the door of the carriage. The five people rushed into the carriage in an orderly and fast manner. However, the situation in front of them made them feel very confused suddenly, and they suddenly lost the desire to attack.

This car is also a dining car, but its style looks more like a bar. However, this car has obviously been modified artificially and it was not originally like this.

Behind the bar on the right side of the dining car, there is a monster dressed in bartender's clothes. Its appearance is no different from that of an ordinary man, except that it has no face. It is wiping some glasses.

Diagonally opposite it, there are two sofas placed opposite each other. They have completely different shapes and are made up of a large amount of monster remains. There are a lot of burn marks on the joints.

Between the two sofas was a table with some kind of spiritual ritual engraved on it, but the ritual runes no longer glowed, and the things that could be summoned by the ritual must have been killed. And on the table, a human head with the top of the head cut off and used as an ashtray might have been the original summoned object of the summoning ritual.

Next to the table, there was a man wearing ordinary clothes, kneeling on the ground, with his hands spread out, palms facing up and flat on the table. On his palms were two stacks of napkins of different colors, one stack was green and the other was red.

In the other corner of the dining car, there was a small round table used by singers. On the table stood a woman with a slit mouth. Her mask had been thrown somewhere. She was wearing a sequined evening dress that she had gotten from somewhere. The woman with the slit mouth stood respectfully on the small round table, behaving very submissively.

Next to her was a small piano, in front of which sat two monsters with six hands, no eyes, and legs torn off by brute force. They also sat there quietly, making no sound.

There were several wooden monsters whose bodies had been neatly torn in half, hanging on the window frames in the carriage, acting as blackout curtains. There was a monster with an extremely long neck and no head, with its neck sticking out of the carriage window. Its internal organs were hollowed out, with some charcoal and ashes inside. It looked like it was used as a fireplace, and this fireplace was actually still alive.

After the five people broke into the carriage, all the monsters turned their heads and saw them, but no one took any action. They just turned their heads and continued with what they were doing.

The five people felt very speechless and weird. They didn't know what was going on, but they actually became curious. They tried to talk to the monsters in the car, but they didn't get any answers, and the monsters didn't seem to want to pay attention to them.

The five people tried to calm down their unspeakable feelings while carefully inspecting the dining car.

"There are still some plates on the table. On the big plate in the middle is some food that is still warm. Is this... grilled Daitengu wings?"

"There's a coat hanging on the wall over here. It's a gray military windbreaker with a big cap on it. The hooks used to hang the coat look like a few monster fingers. They were nailed to the wall by someone."

"There's a piece of human skin on the wall behind the bartender with 'No Noise' written on it?!"

"There's a trash can next to the kneeling one. It's made of some arm and leg debris. Inside is... an iron ball? It looks like something was squeezed into this shape by a huge force. Jerome, take a look at what it is."

Jerome took the iron ball and released energy from his palm. The iron ball began to twist and deform, and slowly returned to its original shape, becoming a large pair of metal scissors.

The five people turned their heads in unison and looked at the woman with the slit standing on the platform. Although she did not move, she nodded slightly, and there was a trace of loneliness and grievance in her eyes. It seemed that this pair of scissors should have belonged to her.

Jerome stopped releasing energy, and the scissors returned to their original shape, turning into an iron ball and thrown back into the trash can. The five people looked at each other, opening their mouths to say something, but couldn't.

"Snapped!"

"Ahem, well, let me say a few words..."

Su Wen slapped himself, coughed, and after calming down his complicated emotions, he expressed his opinion.

"This is how I understand it. Someone easily defeated these monsters in urban legends, and used his unique "personal charm" to make them willingly serve as service personnel, and also made them dare not resist, even though that person is not here now, and only left a four-word slogan."

The other four nodded, generally agreeing with Su Wen's statement, but Xerxes soon had a question.

"I can understand defeating me, but how can you be sure of that?"

"There are three reasons. The first is quantity. The 'furniture' here uses a lot of monster wreckage, and many of the parts don't look like the things on the train. This shows that the person who defeated them may have a high-destructive skill or weapon with both power and range."

Su Wen waved his hands and pointed at the monsters in the dining car.

"The second is the types. In this dining car, I saw at least eight completely different monsters, each with different abilities. For example, the slit-mouthed woman can teleport and her attacks always hit the target. The faceless man always appears behind his prey. The one whose internal organs were hollowed out and used as a fireplace should be the red ghost, who can breathe fire. I won't explain the others one by one. In short, what I mean is that even though they have all kinds of troublesome special abilities, they were still defeated by this mysterious man."

Su Wen took a few steps, came to the window, and pointed at the wooden brocade monsters that were neatly torn in half.

"The third is physical fitness. If you want to tear a wood-brocade monster, which is famous for its speed, in half with brute force, there is only one way, and that is to take advantage of the opportunity when the wood-brocade monster gets entangled with you. We have encountered wood-brocade monsters before. At that time, if we didn't help each other, it would be impossible to do it with our own strength. Even Xerxes couldn't do it. And I saw at least four or five such wood-brocade monsters in this dining car."

Jerome took over Su Wen's words and pointed to the trash can under the table.

"The scissors of the Slit Woman are not simple weapons. They are imbued with soul power. Just brute force can destroy them into this state. It is no exaggeration to say that someone who can do this can crush a ten-centimeter thick steel plate to achieve the same effect."

"Jerome is right. Another thing is that the carriage we passed before did not have any signs of serious fighting inside, so this also shows that the man did not put in much effort at all."

According to Su Wen's deduction, the person who did all this should be a hidden boss. Most of his actions are basically on the train, and after he leaves the train, the train will not move until he comes back. Players should not be able to do this and can use large-scale mechanisms for their own benefit.

Liu Qiuning simply combined the information discussed by everyone and came to a conclusion.

"From the location we were in when we entered the dungeon, this train should not be the place we need to go to to clear the dungeon normally. Moreover, this train has no connection with other places. It is more like a means of transportation to a designated location. Based on past experience, there is a high possibility that there are hidden quests or hidden bosses on this train."
