Catastrophe Card King - Chapter 478

Chapter 478: Chapter 170 Ghost Train s

The existence featured in myths and legends appeared before them, this relic seemed far beyond everyone’s expectations.

“Light and darkness co-exist?”

Leonard Churchill too found it curious.

He took out a test tube, intending to collect some for inspection.

But no matter what it was, upon contacting the surface of the water, it would corrode.

The group confirmed that the river water was something beyond their current comprehension.

Leonard Churchill and Catherine Carter both fell into deep thought.

With the Stygian River water present, they were like castaways stranded on an island.

Seeing that no one was speaking, Elder Clinton looked at Leonard Churchill and asked, “So… what should we do now?”

Leonard Churchill was not the least bit anxious and casually replied, “Wait for the train.”

Elder Clinton’s face was filled with confusion as he asked in response, “Wait for the train?”

Catherine Carter seemed to understand what Leonard Churchill was implying, but she remained silent.

Leonard Churchill explained, “Considering the current situation, at least a few hundred pioneer hunters have come and gone. There are no bodies here and no place else to go. But there lies an odd station. Therefore, those people must have gone somewhere else via some form of transportation. Like a train.” He just made the most probable inference based on the current situation.

As for guessing wrong, it didn’t matter.

Hearing these words, Elder Clinton commented pensively, “Does this ghostly place have trains? I’m afraid it might be some kind of phantom train.” Despite being trapped, the group of four didn’t idle away their time; instead, they started to study the station.

Not long after, about a dozen hunters, their faces pale with fear, continued to climb down from the cliffs.

Seeing their condition, Leonard Churchill realized they couldn’t climb back up. The hunters didn’t have the same composure as Leonard Churchill and his group. Upon realizing they were on an island-like platform and the water had strong corrosive properties, they panicked.

However, not long after the hunters arrived, a sudden “Oooh…Oooh…” whistle sound came from nearby.

Immediately, everyone watched as an ancient steam train slowly emerged from the fog covering the river surface.

Although the appearance of a train at this ancient station was peculiar, it did bring hope to their current dilemma.

Cohn stared at the shadow of the train in the mist, turned his head to look at Leonard Churchill, exclaiming, “Mr. Leonard Churchill, a real train has arrived!”

Elder Clinton also had an expression of surprise, “Did you really guess it right?”

Leonard Churchill only smiled without replying.

His gaze rested on the train, his wolf-like eyes narrowed, his intuition told him that the real crisis was just beginning.

The train entered the station at a slower speed, the water of the river splashed onto the platform as the train moved.

The group of hunters eagerly watched as the train approached.

However, once they got a clear look, their anticipation instantly vanished, revealing an expression of fear and apprehension.

Even Leonard Churchill let out a surprised gasp.

Because, the steam train that stood before them was half-translucent, like a ghost!

Through his clown mask, Leonard Churchill could see, this train actually had a name.

[Bazeks’Ghost Train]

Detailed explanation: Unknown Level Rule Disaster; Neutral Faction;

Leonard Churchill wondered, “Is it another rule-based disaster?”

“Hiss… Hiss…”

After the train stopped, the steam released.

As the tram door opened, all the hunters raised their weapon in hand, with tense sweats cheering from their palms.

More than a dozen pairs of eyes stared, and at this moment the train door opened. A person dressed in a black cloak and a top hat, looking like a train conductor, stepped out.

No one knew whether this figure was a human or a monster, as an eerie undead air enveloped him, completely obscuring his features.

But after leaving the train, he stood next to the door, as if waiting for passengers to board, with no intention to harm anyone.

Everyone looked at each other after witnessing this scene, not knowing what to do next.

However, at this time, Leonard Churchill checked the time on his pocket watch, without much hesitation, he stepped forward.

Seeing that he was preparing to board, Catherine Carter understood his intentions.

She hurried a few steps forward.

A shoulder’s width apart, they walked towards the train together.

With a glance, Leonard Churchill admired Catherine Carter’s courage, and with a smile asked, “Aren’t you afraid?”

Catherine Carter responded confidently, “When there’s no other option, there’s nothing worth hesitating about.”

The existence of this ghost train was beyond their comprehension.

All hesitation was unnecessary.

Moreover, her intuition and judgment told her that boarding was the right choice.

Leonard Churchill chuckled without saying much.

He stood before the train door, keeping an eye on the mysterious conductor in the cloak.

However, besides a cloud of black fog, he saw nothing.

The conductor also didn’t prevent them from boarding.

Leonard Churchill observed the details inside and outside the car and then stepped in.

Catherine Carter, not any less courageous, quickly followed suit.

Elder Clinton and Colin hesitated for a moment, and then the grandfather- grandson pair also boarded the train.

Seeing Leonard Churchill and his group board the train, several other hunters plucked up the courage to follow.

A few others stayed on the platform.

The ghost train only stopped at the platform for two minutes.

The door of the train closed, and it slowly started moving again.
