Chapter 7: Fear strikes

"Nguyen Nam, what's wrong with you...?"

In that moment, Tran Cong Hung unconsciously wanted to ask why Nguyen Nam had also arrived.

But in the next moment, Tran Cong Hung noticed that Nguyen Nam was holding a blood-stained axe in his hand, and drops of blood were slowly dripping from the blade, which made him feel that something was not right.

"Run!"

Seeing this scene, Tran Cong Hung immediately made a decision. He quickly grabbed Nguyen Xuan Chanh and tried to step back.

But...

He didn't expect it.

Nguyen Xuan Chanh stood in front of him, turned his hand behind and tightly grasped him, yet his body didn't move.

Nguyen Xuan Chanh's expression was very strange.

Cack cack cack...

Tran Cong Hung only saw Nguyen Xuan Chanh's head slowly turning back until his entire face was facing his back, with his mouth almost touching his ears.

"Don't worry, it doesn't hurt."

Nguyen Xuan Chanh's voice was very peculiar, as if he was speaking with a choked throat.

"Ghost... demon!"

"Don't come any closer!"

Tran Cong Hung pushed away Nguyen Xuan Chanh's hand, moved away, and saw Nguyen Nam slowly approaching with the axe in his hand.

"How could this be, how could this..."

In that moment.

He seemed to have figured out something...

The world in this story.

From the beginning, it was not right.

At this moment, Tran Cong Hung didn't have time to think.

Step back!

Tran Cong Hung kept stepping back, not understanding the rules on this train, he only knew that he had to escape their sight!

Nguyen Nam and Nguyen Xuan Chanh stood still, smiling, watching Tran Cong Hung struggling.

Tran Cong Hung ran frantically.

The more he ran, the farther away from his bed position.

But at this moment, he didn't care much, he just wanted to get away from them as quickly as possible.

The axe in Nguyen Nam's hand looked eerie under the dim light.

But...

When Tran Cong Hung couldn't run much farther.

"Clack!"

The lights on the train went out...

Tran Cong Hung's vision became dim and almost unable to see anything.

In the dark aisle, Tran Cong Hung no longer saw the figures of Nguyen Nam and Nguyen Xuan Chanh, but the sound of footsteps echoed in his ears, indicating that they were getting closer to him!

While Tran Cong Hung stepped back, he seemed to stumble upon something under his feet and fell heavily to the ground.

Ignoring anything else, he quickly reached out to the nearby area!

Luckily, in the chaos, he found an empty space under the bed on this train. The lower part was empty, probably designed for convenient luggage placement.

At the right time, the area near Tran Cong Hung's bed had nothing, allowing him to crawl inside and curl up.

In the darkness...

Tran Cong Hung could hear his own heartbeat.

Nguyen Nam and Nguyen Xuan Chanh slowly approached, they seemed unaware that Tran Cong Hung was hiding under the bed, trying to find him.

"Tran Cong Hung, where are you?"

"Come out quickly, we'll play a fun game."

In this moment.

Tran Cong Hung heard the question from the two, but dared not breathe.

The others on the train seemed to be sound asleep, even with such a loud noise, there was no response.

As if...

As if there was only Tran Cong Hung on this train.

"The Nguyen brothers, how could they...?"

The sound of footsteps, getting closer.

Tran Cong Hung sensed that they were only a few steps away from him...

The sound of blood dripping from the axe seemed to echo on the train, so clear.

"Oh? This place seems to be suspicious."

Nguyen Nam seemed to have discovered the traces when Tran Cong Hung hastily hid under the bed.

"Is something wrong?"

"Looks like it's in chaos! Hey, do you think he's hiding under the bed?"

Tran Cong Hung could sense it.

They had arrived in front of him.

He could faintly see their shoe tips...

Don't make a sound.

If he made a sound now, he would die!

Tran Cong Hung suppressed his emotions in his heart.

"Maybe not, probably not here."

"Shall we bend down and take a look?"

Nguyen Nam suggested.

"But we can't really do that, or should we just ask directly?"

"That works too."

The two seemed to have made a decision.

They stood in front of the bed where Tran Cong Hung was hiding, softly calling with a choked and unpleasant voice.

"Tran Cong Hung, where are you?"

"If you're nearby, let us know!"

A hoarse and eerie voice echoed in Tran Cong Hung's ears. He clenched his mouth, trying not to make any sound.

Even his breathing, he held it back...

He was afraid that the two would find him.

A moment later.

The two seemed to lose patience.

"Oh, it seems he's hiding."

"Then let's keep looking!"

"Fine."

The two planned to leave, but they still seemed slightly dissatisfied...

"Alright, let's ask one more time. If he's really not here, we'll go check other parts of the train."

"Okay."

"Tran Cong Hung..."

"Where are you?"

Nguyen Nam's voice echoed again.

Tran Cong Hung still had no reaction.

The train remained quiet.

"I'm here!" - A gentle voice came from beside Tran Cong Hung.

He couldn't believe his eyes and turned his head to look.

He saw a person crouching beside him, just a few meters away.

She looked at Tran Cong Hung with a happy twinkle in her eyes.

It was...

Phan My Duyen!

...

...

"Help... help me!" - Tran Cong Hung's voice echoed from a distance.

Not long after, everyone saw him running back in a staggering state.

But when Tran Cong Hung saw Nguyen Nam and Nguyen Xuan Chanh on the bed, he fell to the ground in a frightened panic.

"Tran Cong Hung, what happened?" - Nguyen Xuan Chanh asked Tran Cong Hung.

Others also became tense upon hearing Tran Cong Hung's cries for help.

Tran Cong Hung, facing Nguyen Xuan Chanh's suspicion, seemed bewildered and didn't know what to say.

"Why are you here?" - Tran Cong Hung replied with a horrified expression, unsure of what to say next.

"I was originally here," Nguyen Xuan Chanh frowned, not understanding what Tran Cong Hung was saying.

"Didn't you go to the restroom with me?"

"I didn't go with you, I went alone," Nguyen Xuan Chanh frowned, he never went to the restroom with Tran Cong Hung.

Hoang Tuan, beside the bed, listened to the conversation between the two.

"No, it can't be!" - Stimulated, Tran Cong Hung shook his head after the shock.

When everyone was preparing to inquire about what happened to Tran Cong Hung, Phan My Duyen suddenly screamed.

"Where is Phong Ly? Has anyone seen him?"

"Huh? Phong Ly, why didn't I see him?"

"What's going on? He was here on the bed..."

...

Hoang Tuan looked up and found no trace of Phong Ly on the bed.

In his thoughts.

Hoang Tuan figured something out, he quickly checked the paragraphs in his mind.

The contentof the paragraphs had changed at some point, different from before -

[The person called "Phong Ly" has disappeared.]

[He shouldn't be indifferent!]

[Sigh, he should have eaten it.]

[Hehe... hidden in a corner where no one can find...]

[In the dark corner with countless people passing by, wary eyes meet indifferent footsteps.]

[He has also become a dead body...]

As Hoang Tuan read up to this point.

He realized something...

The world in this story.

Was not as it should be.

At this moment, Hoang Tuan didn't have time to think.

Step back!

Hoang Tuan kept stepping back, not understanding the rules of this train, he only knew that he had to escape safely from tonight!

Nguyen Nam and Nguyen Xuan Chanh stood still, smiling, watching Tran Cong Hung's struggling.

Tran Cong Hung ran frantically.

The more he ran, the farther he got from his bed position.

But at this moment, he didn't care much, he just wanted to distance himself from them as quickly as possible.

The axe in Nguyen Nam's hand looked eerier under the dim light.

But...

When Tran Cong Hung couldn't run much farther.

"Clack!"

The train lights went off completely...

Tran Cong Hung's vision became dim and he could hardly see anything.

In the dark aisle, Tran Cong Hung no longer saw the figures of Nguyen Nam and Nguyen Xuan Chanh, but the sound of footsteps reached his ears, indicating that they were getting closer!

As Tran Cong Hung stepped back, he seemed to stumble upon something under his feet and fell hard to the ground.

Without caring about anything else, he quickly reached out to the nearby area!

Fortunately, in the chaos, he found an empty space under the bed on this train. The lower part was empty, probably designed for convenient luggage placement.

At that moment, the area near Tran Cong Hung's bed had nothing, allowing him to crawl inside and curl up.

In the darkness...

Tran Cong Hung could hear his own heartbeat.

Nguyen Nam and Nguyen Xuan Chanh slowly approached, they seemed unaware that Tran Cong Hung was hiding under the bed, trying to find him.

"Tran Cong Hung, where are you?"

"Let us know if you're nearby!"

Their hoarse and eerie voices echoed in Tran Cong Hung's ears. He clenched his mouth, trying not to make any sound.

Even his breathing, he held it back...

He was afraid that the two would find him.

A moment later.

The two seemed to lose their patience.

"Oh, it seems he's hiding."

"Then let's keep searching!"

"Alright."

The two planned to leave, but they still seemed slightly dissatisfied...

"Fine, let's ask one last time. If he's really not here, we'll go check other parts of the train."

"Okay."

"Tran Cong Hung..."

"Where are you?"

Nguyen Nam's voice echoed again.

Tran Cong Hung still didn't react.

The train remained silent.

"I'm here!" - A gentle voice came from beside Tran Cong Hung.

He couldn't believe his eyes and turned his head to look.

He saw a person crouching beside him, just a few meters away.

She looked at Tran Cong Hung with a joyful twinkle in her eyes.

It was...

Phan My Duyen!

...

...

"Save... save me!" - Tran Cong Hung's voice echoed from a distance.

Soon after, everyone saw him running back in a disoriented state.

But when Tran Cong Hung saw Nguyen Nam and Nguyen Xuan Chanh on the bed, he fell to the ground in fear.

"Tran Cong Hung, what's happening?" - Nguyen Xuan Chanh asked Tran Cong Hung.

Others also became anxious upon hearing Tran Cong Hung's cry for help.

Tran Cong Hung, facing Nguyen Xuan Chanh's suspicion, seemed confused and didn't know what to say.

"Why are you here?" - Tran Cong Hung replied with a terrified expression, unsure of what to say next.

"I've been here all along," Nguyen Xuan Chanh furrowed his brow, not understanding what Tran Cong Hung was talking about.

"Weren't you with me in the restroom?"

"I never went with you, I went alone," Nguyen Xuan Chanh frowned, he had never gone to the restroom with Tran Cong Hung.

Hoang Tuan, by the bed, listened to the conversation between the two.

"No, it can't be!" - Stirred up, Tran Cong Hung shook his head after the shock.

When everyone was preparing to inquire about what had happened to Tran Cong Hung, Phan My Duyen suddenly screamed.

"Where is Phong Ly? Has anyone seen him?"

"Huh? Phong Ly, why didn't I see him?"

"What's going on? He was here on the bed..."

...

Hoang Tuan looked up and found no trace of Phong Ly on the bed.

In his thoughts.

Hoang Tuan figured something out, he quickly checked the paragraphs in his mind.

The content of the paragraphs had changed at some point, different from before -

[Name: Hoang Tuan]
