Jian Weilan looked at the scene in front of her with disbelief written all over her face.
In the previous accident, there were actually people who survived! And in front of him, the middle-aged man who was the first to speak out was a member of the original jury and belonged to his group of cronies.
"Uncle Gong, you...are you still alive?!"
Jian Weilan's originally calm mood was once again agitated like a tide. He unconsciously walked to the guardrail and wanted to say something, but was suddenly pulled by Gao Yi.
"Calm down!"
Gao Yi assumed a posture as if he was facing a formidable enemy.
Forgive him for his lack of imagination.
How does the fragile human body survive an accident of that level without being hurt?
"Trust my judgment."
Understanding what Gao Yi wanted to say, Jian Weilan spoke first: "From the first sight, they have been completely analyzed by the Fool."
"These people are not souls, let alone weird ones. Each one of them has a fresh life and is a living person!"
"They really survived!"
Gao Yi, who reattached his disguise, fell silent.
There is no one in the world who knows how to recognize people and judge things better than a fool. Even though I doubt it, I do not reject miracles.
Jian Weilan turned around and shouted to the other end of the train: "How did you survive the train crash? What happened to the train now?"
At the other end of the train, Uncle Gong relaxed his tense expression and shouted, "I'm worrying you! Thanks to the skills of several team members, we were able to escape death."
"but--"
"We were thrown out of the carriage for an unknown distance, unable to identify the direction. We finally waited for a passing train, which is the one we are on now.
"Simple banquet"
Uncle Gong asked loudly: "You are on your way back, right?"
Return trip?
Jian Weilan and Gao Yi looked at each other.
Above Hades, the originally tense atmosphere suddenly relaxed.
"Are you sure you didn't look in the wrong direction?".
"You question me?"
Jian Weilan resisted the urge to hit someone: "Following the map's instructions, we encountered so many dangers along the way. Now you ask me, are we returning?! I..."
"Ahaha."
Gao Yi immediately waved his hands and tried to cover up the past: "In this case, they should have rebelled, right?"
"Are we rebelling?"
Uncle Gong looked confused and noticed Gao Yi beside him: "Who is this?"
"A friend, you don't need to worry about it."
Jian Weilan changed the subject.
Obviously, he was not prepared to disclose Gao Yi's information to anyone.
It seems that regarding the cooperation he proposed earlier, he has now gradually moved towards Gao Yi from his original wavering attitude.
This is a good thing.
Uncle Gong led the five or six surviving team members, who originally planned to evacuate first, but now that they have joined the backbone of the team leader, there is no need to retreat.
From the other end of the train, Uncle Gong's voice sounded: "We have started to slow down, we should be arriving at the station soon, and the train will be delayed for a while!"
"Jian Xi, bring your friends here. Although it's not as slow as the train, it's much safer than your lonely train."
"Platform?"
Gao Yi put up the awning with his hands and looked forward.
The truth is not as simple as this middle-aged official thought.
In the distance, on the vast land, a section of track suddenly stopped there. The train seemed to have received some kind of signal in advance, and actively began to slow down and slowly stopped.
"The road ahead is blocked, I'll go over and take a look."
Gao Yi grabbed the lantern, patted Jian Weilan's shoulder, and turned over from the guardrail with one hand.
When the soles of his feet touched the long-lost ground and felt the solid touch, he couldn't help but feel a sense of relief and relaxation.
The lantern dispersed the darkness on the ground, and the first thing that came into view was a clear cross section.
It seems to have been destroyed through some violent means. The entire railway track is severely twisted, and the dark gray fiber traces are particularly obvious at the fracture.
Behind him, the sound of chaotic footsteps came. Jian Weilan came with the team and asked, "What did you find?"
"The rails are broken. It must have been damaged by some creature."
Gao Yi looked thoughtful.
Jian Weilan frowned.
Along the way, they also saw many railways that stopped suddenly.
But at that time, they were busy on their way and didn't want to cause more trouble, so naturally they didn't think about it in depth.
Until now, the endless current situation and Gao Yi's discovery finally made Jian Weilan think of something.
"Have you thought about it too?"
Gao Yi's eyes swept over: "The realm of death is water, but it is blocked by some kind of obstruction, which prevents the water from flowing and cuts off the soul's possibility of returning to rest."
"The world of life is land, but the advancing railway has been destroyed. Countless trains carrying souls can only sigh in despair after reaching a certain fixed point."
"Life and death each have their own impassable areas."
Gao Yi deduced: "And for this reason, the soul has been unable to enter the state of silence, and finally returned to the human world. This is the answer we are really looking for."
"Who is it that hindered the operation of the entire Hades?"
"It sounds like something is deliberately breaking the rules here." Jian Weilan looked solemn.
If only a certain fixed line is damaged, only one city in the East China Sea may be affected.
But after seeing the current situation of so many railways, Jian Weilan finally understood that the situation was urgent!
Hades is the home of the dead facing the entire world.
If half of its transportation capacity is paralyzed... no, even if it is only one tenth, one percent, then how many souls will have to return to the world due to accumulation?!
"The answer, I'm afraid, lies at the end of Hades."
While the two were talking, behind him, Uncle Gong lowered his eyes to cover up the subtle color in his eyes.
Then, he asked: "But after losing the body, the soul should not have the ability to travel for such a long time."
"It took us nearly ten hours to get here just by transportation. How did they return to the East China Sea so easily?"
Woo——!
As soon as he finished speaking, the train next to him suddenly made a whistle before starting.
"Look."
Click click click...
Gao Yi pointed to the slowly retreating locomotive and said, "This is the answer."
"Because it can't move forward, the train can only move backward, and once it moves backward..."
Jian Weilan understood: "It will return to the starting point and park, and the soul passengers who have been received will return to the human world by mistake?!"
"That's right!"
Gao Yi clapped his hands and pointed forward: "As you said, all the answers are hidden at the end of Hades. Our journey is about to reach its destination."
