The Grim Reaper Can't Be Tricked

Leaving the Ghost Hotel, Wang Lingxian and his party took the train to Luxembourg at sunrise the next day, and they could reach their destination in about two hours.

In the train carriage, Wang Lingxian's seven people occupy the seats on the left and right sides of the middle. In the front are two traveling families of four, and in the back are nine young men and women who are out for fun. The content of their chats seems to be students. Take a trip to Europe.

They have visited the country where the sun never sets, Gaul and Germany before, and now they are going to the next country, Luxembourg, to participate in the world's largest rock music festival. They excitedly picked up various topics, talking about the music festival, the Black Rabbit band, Slowly talk about the topic to the local girls and boys, gradually becoming explicit and fiery.

A black young man at the left back proposed to play poker. The loser can tell a story. It can be someone else’s or his own, but it must be true and interesting enough to attract the interest of his companions immediately, and they will start playing the game together.

At the beginning, some people talked about their youth embarrassment, some people said that his first time ended in the school's grove, and some people said that the school's physical education teacher and dean had cheated...

The front and rear rows were full of excitement, only Wang Lingxian and others in the middle were either playing games or wearing blindfolds to catch up on sleep, and some people were staring at the scenery outside the window and eating melon seeds along the way.

This person is Cen Jin.

Huang Jiang asked across from him, "What's the smell?"

Cen Jin: "Caramel."

Huang Jiang: "I have sea salt and honey, let me exchange some with you."

Cen Jin pointed to the melon seeds on the table and said, "Take it yourself."

These flavors of melon seeds were all ordered by Wang Lingxian. In the middle of the morning, he suddenly wanted to eat spicy strips, so he called his caring housekeeper and asked everyone in the team what they wanted to eat. After making a list, they were sent by helicopter.

Wu Lan took off the blindfold and asked, "Would you like to send some to Teacher Ding?"

Cen Jin hesitated: "He doesn't eat junk food."

Wu Lan understood clearly: "I understand the fairy man's design." Then sighed: "It's great, the boss can sit on the soft seat."

Wang Lingxian took off her mask and blindfold and complained a little irritably: "When I go back, I want to protest that the students must use the funds provided by the school and the institution to accept the tasks. We are obviously capable of improving the quality of the itinerary, but we are bound by rigid rules in this narrow, noisy and messy place. In the carriage."

Totem closed his eyes and recited the scriptures silently, and said, "I think it's much better than the chicken, duck, cattle, sheep and pig carriages I sat in before."

Wang Lingxian's eyes are cloudy, and his eyes are blue and black. He was busy yesterday and hasn't slept well since he was busy.

He replied coldly: "The noble me and the poor you are not the same way."

Wu Lan said in Cen Jin's ear: "Daxian's second-year anxiety has fallen ill, don't touch him."

Cen Jin: "Understood."

He lowered his eyes, and his mobile phone received a text message from Ding Yiqing, asking him if he wanted to go to the soft seat car, he was the only one there.

Cen Jin replied: If you don't accept the unspoken rules, you will never be able to seduce in this life.Give up, bitch.

Ding Yiqing: A screenshot has been taken.

Cen Jin was inexplicable: "??" When he took a closer look and found the reply, he was too angry and typed out the word 'dog force'.

Damn, it's numb.

At this time, Wu Lan suddenly pressed his elbow against his elbow to signal: "Listen carefully."

Cen Jin raised his eyes and found that all the members were silent as if they were listening to something, so he followed the dark blue eyes to look at the nine young men and women who were in front of him. "Have you ever heard of the death train ride?"

Others: "I haven't heard of it."

Caucasian blond woman: "Have you seen the Human Skin Inn?"

Immediately someone laughed: "You don't want to say that this train will send us to a strange town, and then treat us as prey, and let the bosses choose and brutally kill us?"

Someone else laughed: "Or like a third-level horror movie, from the conductors to the train attendants are organizations that steal and sell organs. They specially select passengers to kill and dig out their organs to sell."

"It's very similar." Seeing that none of her companions showed any fear at all, the white blond woman could only shrug her shoulders and said, "Well, this story comes from the neighbor of my sister's boyfriend, who is a middle-aged man with severe facial disabilities.

He said that this is his personal experience. During the journey from Huadu to Luxembourg, there is a hidden town in the canyon near the Rhine River. A train called "Death Train" occasionally stops in the hidden town. site.

Within ten minutes when it stopped, a family from a small town came in, and they would carry out an indiscriminate massacre inside the train.

The middle-aged man told me that he and his companions tried to cross Europe as their graduation gift, and ended up on the death train on a full moon night. It was about eleven o'clock in the evening. The train stopped at the small town station and got on A family of four.

From eleven o'clock to one o'clock in the morning, the number of people on the train decreased one by one, and blood flowed in every car, until the family of four came to their car and carried out a terrible massacre. In the end, only he survived. "

Everyone booed after listening to the boring old story, probably based on various horror movies, and they said that the white blonde must have been cheated by the disabled man.

The white blond girl talked and found the story that threatened her childhood boring, and gradually quieted down, replacing the penalty of losing with other real things.

"Let me think about it...Have you ever heard of Andersen's red dancing shoes?" With the unanimous nod of her companions, the white blonde woman looked out of the window and said, "The story I'm telling is somewhat different from the story of the red dancing shoes in Andersen's fairy tales. , it comes from the Rhine, from history and news, from events that actually happened.

It is rumored that from the end of the 15th to the 17th century, strange incidents of dancing plague occurred in the villages on both sides of the Rhine one after another. The church could not find out the reason, so it followed the folk report to convict the suspect and burned him alive.

The first incident of the dancing plague occurred. The folks reported a woman who they said was a witch. The church first let the crowd stone her to death, and then burned her alive.

The dancing plague temporarily subsided, and it didn't take long for it to happen again in another village. This time they received a report from the nunnery, claiming that a handsome priest threw himself into the arms of the devil and cast the poison of the plague in the Rhine River.

This time, the Holy See attached great importance to it, spending several months trying the priest, and finally burned him to death in the central square of the court.

The crowd watched the execution, and they were very angry and excited at first, until they found that the priest who was engulfed in the fire was silent all the time, and gradually felt fear.

Then I heard the priest's curse before his death: "God will prove my innocence, and the plague will never stop."Those who judge me, those who punish me, those who slander me, and those who watch me coldly, your descendants, for hundreds of years and thousands of years, will suffer from the plague forever.

If you sin, the plague will come upon you, and you will be blind until you turn white and cold, and your body shrinks into white bones, until your legs are cut off by your own hands, until you truly repent, the apostle took Until God forgives you for what you have done——

Judgment and plague will always follow your heads. '

After the priest was executed, there was no dancing plague for nearly a hundred years. Both the Holy See and the parties believed that the priest was guilty, and their trial was a fair and just trial.

Unexpectedly, 100 years later, the plague broke out on a large scale again, and it would continue for the next 200 years. The area was concentrated on both sides of the Rhine River. Gaul, Belgium, Luxembourg and other countries had records of similar disasters.

At the end of the 17th century, the Holy See dispatched again, captured a witch and used her and her child as a 'lamb' to complete two burnt offerings.

Since then, the Rhine has returned to calm. "

When the white blond woman said this, the rear compartment was silent, and the next moment everyone burst into laughter, urging the blond woman not to take shortcuts. This is not a real story at all. How can the so-called "history" recorded in literature and folklore be true? occur?

Even if it is proved that this is indeed a real event, it cannot be cleared, otherwise other people can tell some news or history that everyone knows to get away with it.

"That's no fun, Lainee. We want to know what's real, true, close to us, and not interested in unproven history or 'urban legends.'"

Just as the white blond woman was about to say she hadn't finished speaking, she heard someone behind her ask, "Did the two 'lambs' you mentioned just now come from an urban legend circulating in rural folk?"

Caucasian blonde: "What?"

She turned her head and saw an aggressively beautiful Asian woman standing in the aisle, leaning lazily on the back of her chair and saying, "The first bunny-headed man who tore open the witch's womb and crawled out."

The white blonde woman stared wide-eyed: "How do you know about this legend?"

Wang Lingxian raised his thumb and pointed at the crowd behind him: "We all know."

Huang Mao and others stood up and responded in unison.

The caucasian blond woman was stunned: "I heard from my grandmother, I thought she was old and confused."

"You don't know the truth, are you lying? Leni." The companions couldn't believe it.

Leni raised her hand and confessed: "Because it was just a prelude, I thought I could scare you. Well, what I really want to say is that last year there was a dancing plague incident in a small village called Strasbourg. Hundreds of people.

You should have heard that it was widely circulated on the Internet at the time. Although the official did not come out to confirm it, I want to say that it is my grandmother's hometown. "

"so?"

"At the end of last year, my grandmother danced in the living room wearing her youthful ballet costume, and my parents and younger brother were watching. My grandmother danced for two hours, half of her toe was worn out, and her white shoes, socks and dancing shoes were worn out. Dyed bright red, it looks like the red dancing shoes in fairy tales.

The grandmother was in great pain, but she was forced to put on a V-shaped smiling face, which was strange and terrifying.

We tried our best to save our grandmother, but in the end we had to imitate the red shoes and cut off her legs. Unfortunately, the treatment was not timely. The grandmother with both legs severed died in the snowy night, and the blood dragged two long streaks on the white snow. , Long traces. "

The laughing companions immediately fell silent, staring at the beautiful blonde in front of them, unable to tell for a moment which part of her was lying and which part was real, maybe she was still lying.

After all, no one would describe their loved ones infected with the plague with a normal face, and when they talked about cutting off their legs, their expressions were so calm.

"That's not funny, Lenny."

Lai Ni was puzzled: "Isn't it funny?" She looked back at Wang Lingxian and the others for approval: "Do you think it's boring too?"

Wang Lingxian showed contempt: "Boring. Huang, what do you think?"

Huang Mao thought for a while, and said seriously: "It's really boring, the story is old, scary and old-fashioned, and the prelude is too long, you will scare the audience away when you tell the story like this, that is, we are bored on the journey, so we have the patience to listen to you." .”

This wave of comments can be called poisonous tongue.

Lai Ni's expression froze for a moment, her lips were tightly pursed, and she glanced at Wang Lingxian, Huang Mao, Wu Lan and Huang Jiang quietly. Seeing that 'they' had calm faces, they didn't take seriously the story she told, the corners of their lips pulled down violently, and suddenly He got up and said, "I'm going to the bathroom."

Her companions greeted Wang Lingxian and the others one after another. Seeing that they spoke foreign languages ​​well, they thought they were also foreign students. After hearing that they were preparing to participate in the concert, they were even more excited to invite them to play games together.

Wang Lingxian and others joined in, while Huang Mao watched the battle.

Time flies, the train travels to a desolate canyon, except for the noise of people playing poker in their corner, the other carriages are very quiet, and two families of four in front are sleeping.

Cen Jin looked up at the electronic clock hanging in the middle of the door of the carriage, which showed that it took more than 40 minutes for Leni to go to the bathroom.

He bypassed the crowd and went to the compartment where the toilet was located. People on both sides were very quiet, either sleeping or reading. After all, there was no WiFi in the car.

Men’s and women’s restrooms are lined up next to a hot water machine. Some people are receiving hot water, and some are waiting in line for the restroom. Cen Jin is behind the restroom line. A girl in front of her knocks on the restroom door and asks how long she has been squatting. I don’t know how many people are outside. Are you waiting?

There was a woman behind her who was so irritable that she rushed up and kicked the door hard: "Don't come out now, wait until I open the door and grab your hair and throw it into the aisle so everyone can see you without pants!"

This threat worked, Leni opened the door and walked out with a gloomy and pale face, looked at the women and girls coldly, turned and left without saying a word, and suddenly noticed Cen Jin at the tail of the team.

She couldn't help smiling, and leaned closer and said, "Hi, I want to move some things to the end of the carriage, can you accompany me there?"

Cen Jin: "No."

Leni was held back by his firm refusal, and said angrily, "Okay, I'll ask someone else for help. No one will refuse ten euros for a trip."

As she said that, she turned around and walked a few steps, but was blocked by Cen Jin who suddenly appeared in front of her, and Lai Ni was startled: "What's wrong with you?"

Cen Jin calmly said, "Aren't you moving things? Let's go."

Lenny: "...Didn't you refuse?"

Cen Jin: "That was before you said ten euros, but now I can."

Leni stared straight at him: "Are you sure you don't regret it? It's a very heavy thing. If you regret it halfway, you will have to pay a hundred times."

Cen Jin smiled: "On the contrary, if you break the contract and deduct ten euros, I will demand a hundred times the compensation from you."

Leni laughed and said something odd in French.

Cen Jin: "I don't understand French."

Leni: "I say it's reasonable." She bypassed Cen Jin and walked forward: "Follow me."

Three meters behind, Cen Jin translated the French recorded by the phone into Chinese, and heard Lai Ni's hoarse and strange voice: "Of course, little Karen."
