I live on the 18th floor of Nether Community

There was a tinkling melody on the radio, as if it came from a music box.The dreamy tunes are dissonant in this eerie setting, but also breed an eerie sense of antics.

The doors connecting the two compartments, one in front and one in the back, suddenly opened, and two clowns wearing colorful puff sleeves walked out of the toilet cubicle respectively.Exaggerated makeup was painted on their faces with oil paint, and the small colored balls in their hands were thrown into the air one after another, and then caught firmly.

"The next program, the spring trapeze, give me some applause!"

The clown suddenly raised his face and smiled, and before Jiang Miao could guard against him, his head popped out of his neck, and there was a bloody spring connecting his head and neck.

"I'll go, are you such a ghost!"

Jiang Miao was startled, and quickly dodged sideways.Probably because he missed the opportunity, the clown's face changed from happy to angry, and his voice became hoarse and sharp.

"Sharp turn! Sharp turn!" The head turned around and flew back again, grinning at Jiang Miao, from which black miasma spewed out.

Jiang Miao swung his whip at the black miasma, and with a crisp sound, the miasma split into two halves and dissipated.

The clown's head was back on his neck again.

"The clown is not happy, the clown is not happy!" The head was spinning rapidly on the clown's neck, constantly changing expressions.Then it stopped suddenly and grinned, "Next show, the dwarves are dancing!"

He turned around exaggeratedly and waved happily towards the carriage behind him, only to see a dozen or so dwarfs over half a meter tall walking over in a line.

They are neatly dressed, with a slender tail behind them.Among the dwarves, some were carrying a snare drum, some were holding a trumpet, and the one standing at the front held a baton in his hand and pointed at Jiang Miao.

"Discover the enemy! Find the enemy!"

The dwarves stared at Jiang Miao and Qi Chi at the same time, and suddenly rushed towards them like countless monkeys going crazy.

A dwarf jumped in front of Jiang Miao with a "bass", and was about to bite his throat.A white light flashed in front of Jiang Miao, and a small paper figurine stood in front of him with outstretched arms.

The dwarf froze for a moment, Xiaozhi raised his fist in anger, and hit the dwarf hard on the face.The dwarf screamed in pain, and the little paper man touched his nose.

"Be careful!" Jiang Miao shouted, the little paper figurine hurriedly turned around, but was surrounded by three dwarves who jumped up one after another.The dwarf stretched out his sharp claws, and instantly tore the little paper figurine into pieces.

"You dare to hit my little Q?" Jiang Miao gritted his teeth and looked at Qichi, "Brother Xiao Hua, burn them to death!"

"Okay." Qi Chi smiled slightly, and quickly drew a rune in the air.

The runes burned, and the flames spread rapidly, rushing towards the dwarves.The dwarves' tails were burned bald by the raging flames in an instant, and a pungent smell filled the entire carriage.

At this moment, the clown at the other end shook his fingers, and saw many transparent thin lines appear on his hand for a while.

"Next show, angry puppet!" After the clown announced the curtain, he threw the string towards Jiang Xiao and Qi Chi.As soon as the thin thread touched the skin, it quickly sank into Jiang Xiao's body.

"Hands up!" The clown commanded, raising his hands above his head.

Jiang Miao only felt that a huge force was manipulating his body, which made him imitate the clown's movements involuntarily.

"Go round and round!"

Jiang Miao followed the movement of the clown and began to turn around in circles.

"It's so fucking shameful." Jiang Xiao was forced to sweat finely on his forehead, desperately trying to get out of control.

"It's useless, the puppet thread has entered the body, and no one can get rid of it!" The clown grinned with a big scarlet mouth, and said sharply, "The next move is to hit the glass!"

As the clown said, he was about to hit the glass window, but Qi Chi threw a big ball of light with his backhand.

"It's useless? Then I'll kill you." Qi Chi smiled coldly, and instantly moved to the front of the clown. He grabbed the thin thread from the clown's hand and strangled it around the clown's neck.

A cold light flashed in Xichi's eyes, and he exerted great force on his hands.The thin thread seeped into the clown's neck in an instant, and with a sound of "Zi--", the thin thread cut off the clown's head.

Blood gushed up like a fountain, splashing Xichi's face.He disgustedly took out a snow-white towel from his pocket to wipe his face, and then threw the clown aside like a rag.

At this time, Jiang Miao suddenly turned his head to look at the workshop at the junction of the trains, his eyes flashed across the road.

"there."

Jiang Xiao snorted, stepped onto the back of the seat and jumped directly to the door of the operating room, and kicked the door open with a flying kick.

The tungsten lamp in the operating room was flickering, and sitting with his back to him was a woman wearing a huge black cloak.

"Are you Xuyu Ghost Mother?" Jiang Xiao asked with narrowed eyes.

Hearing this, the woman turned her head in a calm manner and took off her hat.

"Yes." The woman said softly.

To be honest, Jiang Miao was a little surprised when he saw the woman's face.The ghost mother in his mind is either a dominatrix with a green face and fangs, or a coquettish slut with heavy makeup.But the face of this person in front of him was so pale that it was almost transparent, with beautiful features and gentle eyes. His long black hair cascaded down like a waterfall, and it carried a lingering fragrance, which had the charm of a classical beauty.

For a moment Jiang Miao didn't know what to say to her.

"Qichi, long time no see." The ghost mother looked through Jiang Miao, looked at the person behind him, and smiled slightly, "I remember the last time we met was in Prince An's Mansion, right?"

Xi Chi nodded lightly: "King An was trapped by a nightmare. You sneaked into his dream and drove away the nightmare for him. For this reason, King An specially repaired the golden body for you and enshrined it all year round."

"Your memory is really good." The ghost mother's eyebrows are curved, and the moles at the corners of her eyes make her more charming, "At that time, you seemed to be a wandering man, wearing a moon-white robe, standing among the pine trees under the moon, playing the flute, It sounds great."

"Why." Qi Chi frowned and asked in a deep voice, "You who have always been gentle and low-key, why did you trap those living souls here? You don't know that this matter has violated the taboo of the underworld. Getting yourself into trouble?"

The ghost mother was slightly taken aback, then covered her mouth and giggled.At the end, she opened her thin lips lightly and said, "Since when did you deal with people from the underworld?"

"Answer." Xichi looked at the ghost mother squarely.

Jiang Miao looked at Qi Chi and then at Ghost Mother, shook his head and clicked his tongue: "Do you know each other? Well, it's good to know each other. It happens that acquaintances are easy to handle."

He raised his chin at the ghost mother: "I said ghost mother, you should release those imprisoned souls as soon as possible before the underworld investigates. I have made arrangements. When this train arrives at our monitoring point, the following My colleagues will help to separate the yin and yang of the car, and then take the passengers from the past to reincarnate."

Xuyu Ghost Mother sighed softly, looked up at Jiang Miao and said, "If I say that those living souls are left voluntarily, would you believe me?"

Jiang Miao raised his eyebrows unexpectedly: "What do you mean?"

The ghost mother got up leisurely and walked to Jiang Xiao's side: "Come with me."

She walked into the carriage with Jiang Xiao and Qi Chi, looked sideways at the glass window, and then raised her hand slightly, the glass window gradually feathered, and a black entrance appeared.

The ghost mother leaned into the entrance, Jiang Xiao and Qi Chi looked at each other and followed.

In an instant, they reached the space in the car window.

The ghost mother turned to Jiang Miao and said, "Go, if any of them are willing to go with you, I will never stop them."

Jiang Miao looked at the ghost mother with a frown, and walked up to the old man who was nearby with some doubts.At this time, the old man was staring at one place, and following his gaze, he saw that the old lady in the posthumous photo was sitting next to him.

"Old woman, why do you think you have the heart to leave me alone? Do you know how I have lived all these years?" The old man held the old lady's hand, and big tears rolled down, "Son My daughter-in-law thinks I'm old and can't do anything. It was okay at the beginning, but gradually I started to get angry with me, and I couldn't bear to say anything to them. Old woman, I have long wanted to go down to find you. I am afraid that you will leave home too soon. I couldn't find you, so I thought about getting on this train to take you back. Now it's all right, we are together again. "

The old lady beside him just raised her eyebrows and smiled, while silently listening to the old man's words, she patted the other's hand up and down to comfort him.

"Master." Jiang Miao also felt worried when he heard the old man's words, cleared his throat and said in a low voice, "Master, come back with me, this is not the world you should come to."

The old man still looked affectionately at the old lady opposite, turning a deaf ear to Jiang Miao's words.Jiang Miao sighed, and turned his gaze to the three men wearing the same style of black cloth shoes on the other side.

"Damn it! You worked hard for a year, and you were treated like an ox. In the end, you didn't even get a penny!"

"It's not bad, the contractor ran away as soon as he said, and that bastard boss Wu even sent a group of people to my house to make trouble. I'm really ashamed to go back!"

"Hey, my mother is still sick and owes a lot of debts. I really want to just close my eyes and just go like this. Living is so boring!"

"It would be nice if this car could keep driving and never reach the stop. I really don't know how to explain it to the people in my room."

"No way."

Jiang Miao's heart trembled. At this moment, he could probably understand what Mother Xu said, they were all willing to stay.If you stay, you can be with the one you love.If you stay, you can never face those bad things in reality.

"elder brother?"

A pair of small hands grabbed Jiang Miao, he looked down and found that it was that well-behaved little girl.

"Brother, I really like this train. Mom and Dad are by my side, we eat together, sleep together, and Mom can sing to me. I really want to stay on the train forever, so that Mom and Dad won't Leave me alone in my hometown, so you can stay with me forever." When the little girl was speaking, her eyes were full of reluctance.

Jiang Xiao took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and the voices of the passengers in his ears gradually amplified...

"Graduating soon, what decent job can someone like me get?"

"It doesn't matter if she doesn't love me, as long as I can stay by her side silently like now, I will be satisfied."

"I've failed another class, how should I explain to my parents?"

"It's like this, and I have to fill up at the class reunion. I want to die just thinking about it."

"I work so hard just to let her live a good life. Why don't you even give me these few years?"

……

Thousands of words were intertwined, and in the end they all turned into the same sentence.

"If only I never got out of the car."
