Chapter 490: Shattered Stars in the Sky

Apocalypse Invasion: Survival on the Infinite Train

Ming Chu could not tell if she was moving upward or downward. Logically, since she had seen the rift below, she should be heading down.

However, she felt as though she were ascending.

Furthermore, the closer she got, the clearer the murmurs became.

Strangely, she did not feel as distressed as she had before.

It seemed as if someone was helping her block the agonizing power contained within those whispers.

Was it Xiao Cong?

Even though she had been 'swallowed' into the body, Ming Chu did not resist or feel afraid, because Xiao Cong held no malice, and she sensed no danger.

Xiao Cong came to a halt.

Inside Xiao Cong's body, Ming Chu remained almost perfectly still. She slowed her breathing to the absolute minimum, listening to the sounds outside.

Then, she heard a murmur—one that felt a bit too familiar to her.

Was it Xiao Cong?

Had she truly become a ghost now? Could she actually communicate with other ghosts?

The answer was: yes.

The Xiao Cong of now bore no resemblance to the one Ming Chu had known. She displayed her massive form, yet she remained silent, tucked away in a corner without moving recklessly.

However, the other ghosts were watching her.

Including her, there were nine ghosts present. They all looked bizarre; having many eyes or many tentacles was standard, while others had scales or pustules.

Although Xiao Cong had become a ghost, she was a rare one who retained her memories and emotions. Even though her emotions had been dulled by 70%, she still silently moved away from the ghost covered in pustules.

Mainly because it was disgusting!

The ground was covered in drops of pus, each creating a large crater as if they were highly toxic.

She didn't speak, but other ghosts were watching her with a faint sense of wariness.

The tension between these ghosts had been broken by Xiao Cong, but because she remained quiet and seemed to have backed down, they gradually shifted their focus to other, more threatening ghosts.

Every ghost here was an S-rank entity.

Although the ghosts of this world were categorized up to S-rank, humans had actually seen very few of them.

Perhaps many had seen them, but those who had were essentially dead.
