Chapter 1970: Chapter 1115: The Ghost Is Behind You
But the plot that followed did not develop as he expected, the woman did not reveal her true form, she was not Chu Xi.
However, by the time he realized this, it was already too late.
Watanabe Gou instinctively tried to move away from the woman, but she grabbed his wrist in reverse, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t break free.
"Let go of me, let go of me!!" Watanabe Gou screamed wildly, by this time he had already shown his true form.
The Half Ghost was still behind him, the two slender, pale arms gradually tightening around his neck.
In the last moment of his life, he unwillingly turned his head to look at the mastermind behind all this, Kato Shinjiro, who was standing not far from him.
Due to the immense pressure, blood foam was already oozing from Watanabe Gou’s mouth, and his eyes bulged out strange and grotesque; he could no longer speak, and when he opened his mouth, all that came out was blood foam, his whole body resembling a dying fish.
Meanwhile, Kato Shinjiro was looking at him with a calm expression, his eyes devoid of joy or sorrow.
At this moment, Watanabe Gou’s eardrums had also ruptured, and he could no longer hear any sound. The last thing he vaguely saw was Kato Shinjiro’s lips moving, saying: "Goodbye."
Watanabe Gou’s death seemed long, but it was merely a brief instant on the train.
Now the train had stopped at Youjian Mountain Station, the doors were open, and outside was a vague, misty fog.
Leaving Watanabe Gou, Kato Shinjiro walked towards the front carriage, where he saw the still-shaken Sakai Misaki in Car 1.
"Are we... are we really getting off?" Although Sakai Misaki had prepared herself before coming, she hesitated the moment the doors opened.
The outside world gave her a very bad feeling, she had a premonition that as long as she stepped into this fog, she would never find her way home again.
"Yes, we must get off, because we want to go home." Kato Shinjiro looked outside the train door, "But not now, now... please wait a moment with me."
This wait lasted a full minute, and the train that was supposed to catch up from the back tunnel still hadn’t arrived, leaving the rear in complete silence...
What was even more unsettling was that the ghost passengers in the carriage began to show signs of agitation, each one "coming to life."
Pairs of eyes nearby looked at the two of them, empty, cold, indifferent... it was the gaze of the dead upon the living.
"Kato Shinjiro, are you getting off the train or not?" At this moment, Takagi Reina from the next compartment couldn’t sit still and directly risked rushing through the connecting door.
She knew that if things continued like this, they would either be killed by the ghost passengers on the train, or be collectively forced off the train.
At this moment, Kato Shinjiro frowned deeply, as if he had discovered something, but the situation no longer allowed him to think further. He directly reached out and pushed Sakai Misaki off the train first.
This took the highly-strung Sakai Misaki by surprise, she nearly stumbled out of the carriage, almost losing her footing.
And as Sakai Misaki left the carriage, the next second, the carriage beneath began to tremble slightly, and lights appeared in the dark tunnel at the back, a speeding train was coming.
After confirming that there was no danger outside, Kato Shinjiro then walked out of the carriage. Before the other side could speak, he immediately went to Sakai Misaki, frowned, and reprimanded in a low voice:
"Miss Sakai, what were you doing? Do you know how dangerous you just were? That ghost has already set its sights on you!"
"Wha...what?" Sakai Misaki was shocked, instinctively looking inside the carriage.
At this moment, those ghost passengers inside had all stood up, gathered at the door or behind the windows, expressionless as they looked at them.
This scene directly frightened Sakai Misaki, and she instinctively held on tightly to Kato Shinjiro’s arm, the bit of doubt she had before vanished in an instant.
She shouldn’t have doubted Mr. Katou, after all, if it wasn’t for him, she wouldn’t have survived until now; in this world, Mr. Katou was her only support.
"Let’s leave here first!" Under the guidance of Kato Shinjiro, the two quickly left.
And as Yang Xiao and the others were sent back to the original world by the rear-following train, a new round of chase at Youjian Mountain Station began tonight.
The protagonists tonight are Kato Shinjiro and Sakai Misaki.
With a map in hand, and having figured out the killing methods of these Water Ghosts and Chang Ghosts, they easily avoided two rounds of pursuit.
But this so-called ease was built on the efforts of Kato Shinjiro, after all, Sakai Misaki would become weak-legged just seeing those ghost passengers, it was Kato Shinjiro who was dragging her along as they ran.
"Miss Sakai, please pull yourself together, if you keep this up I can’t fulfill my previous promise."
Kato Shinjiro carrying her was entirely a burden, at this moment, there was a hint of impatience in his eyes, even though she was a newcomer, Yamamoto Chunai had performed brilliantly last night, the disparity between the two was indeed too great.
But right now he cannot abandon her, after all, she is this night’s amulet.
He dislikes the term Substitute Death, because it’s too direct and lacks elegance.
He feels no debt towards Sakai Misaki, after all, if it weren’t for him, she would have died more than twice by now.
He is saving her, while also saving himself, it’s him who fought for a chance for her to live a few more days.
After the ghost passengers left, the Water Ghost appeared, but because he first obtained accurate information, before the Water Ghost brought out the umbrella, they hid in a place covered by a cement board, successfully avoiding the attack of "acid rain."
