Chapter 190: Invasion
by SunflowerLin Xian thought he must have misheard and misseen.
But at this moment, the one floating outside the car window using psionic powers, who else could it be but KIKI?
Beside him, Chen Sixuan’s eyes widened, as if she also thought she had seen wrong, her mind going blank for a moment.
“Little girl?!”
“It’s me! What’s wrong with you guys? Why did you leave me outside?”
Lin Xian’s face was filled with disbelief. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but his expression gradually froze.
If KIKI was outside, then who was the one who had returned to the train with him?
Lin Xian’s brow furrowed. He suddenly turned and ran towards car number 1, rushing directly to the Isomorphic Cube.
[Beep! Using non-mechanical force for reflection detection.]
[Darkness invasion detected on the train!]
In an instant, a chill shot from the soles of his feet to the back of his head.
Voom!
The power of the Isomorphic Cube surged. A terrifying, low roar, like a demon’s growl, suddenly came from the car ahead.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Immediately, the sound of three pistol shots rang out.
“Not good!”
It was car number three!
Lin Xian’s eyes were about to split. He immediately rushed over, and at the same time, operated the train to open the cockpit door to let KIKI in.
The KIKI on the train was a fake!
At this moment, Lin Xian’s first worry was for Shasha and Director Ding.
The gunshots inside the train instantly alerted everyone in the front and rear cars. Halfway there, the bathroom door of car number 1 opened, and Shasha walked out with a terrified look on her small face. “Brother Lin, what’s wrong?”
Lin Xian looked at the little girl and breathed a partial sigh of relief. Without time to speak, he rushed directly towards car number three.
Thinking back now, KIKI had been silent the whole way, just sitting quietly on the back of the motorcycle. It was indeed a bit strange.
But he couldn’t figure it out. Didn’t those Impersonators need to wear human skin to impersonate people? If an Impersonator had taken on KIKI’s appearance, wouldn’t that mean KIKI was already dead?
These chaotic thoughts flashed through Lin Xian’s mind. There was no time to think too much. As soon as he arrived at car number three, he saw some research equipment overturned on the floor. The scene was a mess. A small, white, fleshy skeleton was writhing quickly on the ground. Director Ding stood in the corner with a pistol, and although she looked calm, the hand holding the gun was trembling slightly.
“This is a camouflage parasite.”
Director Ding said, “It tried to attack me, but it seems to be more interested in the Hell Black Chrysanthemum.”
Thump, thump, thump.
On the other side, Lu Xingchen and Da Lou also rushed over.
When Lin Xian saw the large number of white parasites crawling on the ground, he immediately shouted at Lu Xingchen, “Brother Fire, burn them all!”
“No problem!”
Lu Xingchen moved swiftly. With a stern brow, he stepped forward and directly raised his hand to unleash a jet of flame. It seemed he could see the urgency of the situation; at this moment, he didn’t even shout the name of his move.
Boom!
The scorching flames directly engulfed the white, fleshy skeleton and the parasites all over the floor. Lin Xian quickly pulled Director Ding over and raised an ice shield in front of them.
“The calamity plant!”
But facing the raging fire, Ding Junyi’s first concern was for the Blood Calamity Plant.
“Forget it.” Lin Xian held Ding Junyi back. At this moment, an invisible wave of psionic power suddenly surged, suppressing the flames that were about to boil over, perfectly covering the area around the white, fleshy skeleton and preventing the fire from burning down the entire car.
KIKI appeared at the gate of car number 3, her face pale, raising her hand to suppress the flames.
The two of them cooperated, burning all the white parasites to ashes. The fleshy skeleton was struggling desperately, raising its arms and letting out a shrill roar.
Ahhhhhh!!!!!
The sound was like a young girl’s hoarse voice. A foul, scorching smoke rose. In just a moment, the fleshy skeleton stopped moving and was burned into a charred, fragmented corpse.
At this moment, in car number 3, heat waves rolled. The core members had all gathered around. Looking at this scene, everyone’s expression was grave.
“What’s going on? Isn’t… isn’t she Sister KIKI?”
Shasha’s eyes widened at this moment. She looked fearfully at the charred corpse, then at KIKI beside her.
“How is that possible!” KIKI flicked her on the forehead. “Your sister is right here. Can’t you tell? I’ve been doting on you for nothing.”
“Don’t blame her,” Ding Junyi said at this moment. “When she came in just now, I didn’t react either.”
“How could that be?” Shu Qin walked over and squatted next to the charred corpse, her brow furrowed in confusion. “Don’t those Impersonators need to wear human skin?”
As she spoke, everyone’s gaze fell on KIKI. Lin Xian also looked at her. “What happened? At the chemical plant, didn’t you see me?”
KIKI was also a little confused at this moment and said anxiously, “Speaking of which, I was about to say! After I flew out of the transom window, I actually saw you run back into the workshop. I thought you had hit your head and was so anxious to save you that I almost got caught by that monster’s tentacle. But I searched for you in that workshop for a long time and couldn’t find you. When I came out, your vehicles were already gone.”
“I thought…” As she spoke, she glared at Lin Xian with a hint of annoyance, but at this moment, she seemed to understand something and immediately suppressed her grievance.
Lin Xian frowned upon hearing this. “I didn’t go back. After I came out, Shu Qin and the others dragged me away. I saw you outside and thought you were fine, so I left as soon as you got on the train.”
After he finished speaking, he paused, his gaze changing. “I get it…”
“It must be those two bone worms.”
“Bone worms?”
Lin Xian didn’t speak. He opened the Isomorphic Cube at this moment and scanned the train again.
[Beep! Using non-mechanical force for reflection detection.]
[Detection successful. No fear risk within the train. Dark-side force invasion has been shielded.]
Phew~
At this moment, Lin Xian finally breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the threat had been eliminated.
Everyone was puzzled at this moment, because no one else knew the function of the Isomorphic Cube, and Lin Xian didn’t have time to explain now. He just looked at KIKI. “You saw a fake me, and I saw a fake you. Only the two of us. It seems that two Impersonators appeared that didn’t need to wear human skin. If that’s the case, only those two bone worms can explain it.”
KIKI’s face scrunched up upon hearing this. “So if we carry those two things, they can imitate people without human skin?”
“Perhaps only temporarily,” Ding Junyi spoke up. “When I opened fire just now, I noticed that its outer skin tissue was dissolving. It’s possible that it can’t maintain that form for long.”
Lin Xian took a deep breath and didn’t speak. Director Ding’s speculation had some merit, but in his opinion, he felt it was more likely that the suppressive power of the Isomorphic Cube had taken effect.
Because as soon as he activated the Isomorphic Cube, the fleshy skeleton’s shrill scream had immediately appeared.
Lin Xian looked at the Hell Black Chrysanthemum at this moment and found that the red light on it was inexplicably brighter. He immediately frowned.
“By the way, you said it originally wanted to attack you, but suddenly turned to the Hell Black Chrysanthemum.”
“Yes,” Ding Junyi nodded. “Although I’m not sure if this monster’s primary purpose in sneaking onto the train was this calamity plant, I can be sure that in this situation, its priority target was this calamity plant.”
“Then we’re quite lucky,” Lu Xingchen said. “At least this thing didn’t cause any casualties or damage.”
Lin Xian’s gaze swept over the black, charred corpse on the ground. “Lantern flower, Impersonator invasion. Someone’s scheme almost made us suffer a huge loss.”
“Ah!!”
At this moment, a scream suddenly came from the rear car.
On the communicator, Miao Lu’s voice came through. “Captain Lin, there’s an enemy situation outside!”
Lin Xian’s heart tightened, and he quickly opened the train’s sun visor.
In an instant.
Everyone’s expression changed drastically, because at this moment, on the originally empty and dark freight platform outside the car.
It was filled with people
