Transcendent Dawn

Chapter 710: Chapter 0710: Train Station

Unlike the hidden Abyss World from before.

In this world, Su Lu can freely wield their divine power and perform miracles!

After all, the goal is to lure Lady Moon out.

His incarnation must show itself first, otherwise, Bai Yi the transmigrator wouldn’t even reach the Death Cultists before being killed by a curse and the undead.

“They’re coming!?”

Su Lu’s eyes suddenly shift, looking into the distance.

Beyond the city, in the mist, a streak of light pierces through the dense fog, revealing the front of a train followed by a long chain of carriages.

This is the Train of the Undead, the only safe bridge between major cities.

“In the Spirit World, the fragments of the Material Realm are like ‘isolated islands’ which can only be interconnected by this train system… Even so, some islands give in, and they are ‘conquered by Death,’ becoming abandoned lands… Anxi City is just like that.”

“And these train systems seem to have the ‘Ability to Repel the Undead and Curses’? No… they can only deal with ordinary dangers. There’s no way to handle destructive threats… Even so, this system can be called an ‘Extraordinary Mega-item’, it’s almost on par with a half-artifact. I wonder which Master of Alchemy created this…”

Su Lu considered briefly, descending in an outlying wasteland and took on the appearance of an ordinary person of this world.

…

“Hurry… we’re almost at the ‘station’.”

On the other hand, Bai Yi, the newly promoted Spirit Exorcist, was leading Little Ogi, Little Star, and Little Ai through the outskirts. He frequently checked his watch: “The next train will ‘arrive’ today. If we miss it, we will have to wait another half a month…”

Staying in this dying city for half a month, except for Bai Yi who was an Extraordinary, would mean certain death for anyone else!

“We can’t go straight, we’ll have to go around!”

The sky was dark, and Bai Yi frowned when he saw a convenience store ahead.

As an Exorcist, he could sense the presence of a Spiritual Body.

Typically, ordinary undead creatures tend to have a strong ‘territorial mindset’. They don’t easily wander out of their designated areas.

For example, the previous ‘Water Wraith’ only loitered around the hospital.

And the outbreak of a curse requires specific conditions.

Therefore, the route Bai Yi selected with his abilities was constantly twisting.

‘Exorcist – able to sense Spiritual Bodies, uses their own blood and other materials to create ‘Exorcism talismans’, under specific conditions, perform an ‘Exorcism Ritual’ to banish ordinary undead…’

As Bai Yi walked, he recalled the Exorcist abilities he had acquired.

‘Only by continuously banishing undead or purifying cursed objects, can an Exorcist grow and be promoted to a powerful Spirit Exorcist… Even so, when encountering terrifying curses and evil spirits, survival is slim… This world is fucking hopeless.’

The Exorcist is the only power ordinary people can undertake when facing curses and evil spirits.

Apart from that, both science and mysticism, as well as the widespread beliefs in gods and buddhas, have proven to be useless in this world.

‘Only the Spirit Lord is the True God?’

‘In that case… maybe I should… become a Pope.’

Bai Yi rubbed his chin, leading Little Ogi and the others around the convenience store.

Just then, there seemed to be some movement in the store, and a vending machine suddenly lit up.

The variety of food inside slightly distracted Little Star and Little Ai.

“Hurry up, don’t look!”

Bai Yi felt a chill in his heart and hurried the others along.

At that very moment, Little Ai turned her head, seemingly enticed by something. Without saying a word, she turned and darted into the convenience store.

“Damn it!”

Bai Yi was slow to react and didn’t manage to stop her. His heart shivered, ‘Has she triggered a killing mechanism set by an evil spirit?’

Undead creatures operate like unconscious ‘programmed mechanisms.’ Some kill at random, while others only strike according to a predetermined pattern.

The spirit in this convenience store falls into the latter category!

“No!”

Little Ogi and Little Star watched their sister run into the convenience store, their faces drained of color.

“Damn it…”

Bai Yi watched on, dumbfounded as his facial muscles contorted. He clenched his teeth, forcefully grabbing the two who wanted to run after their sister, “We can’t go, it’s certain death!”

As someone who could sense spirits, Bai Yi knew the evil spirit in the convenience store was of a type far beyond the reach of him, a mere apprentice Exorcist.

“Let’s go!”

Such was the cruel nature of this world.

Dragging the two along, Bai Yi quickly distanced themselves from the convenience store and soon they saw the ‘station’ up ahead.

It was a large building bathed in warm orange light, with faint voices audible from within.

“The next stop from Anxi City is Zhenbei City. It has not yet fallen and you can live a normal life there…”

Bai Yi felt a glimmer of hope.

But his footsteps came to a sudden stop.

Ahead, a woman in a white long dress, with long black hair hanging down and covering her face, was blocking their path.

She had no feet and was floating in mid-air. Her hidden eyes were fixed on the three, causing Bai Yi to break out in goosebumps. He knew avoiding her was futile.

“Disperse!”

He quickly pulled out his newly made exorcism talisman, invoked a charm, and hurled it out.

The woman retreated a few steps, but she didn’t disappear.

“Damnit… here, take this. I need to prepare the exorcism ritual.”

Bai Yi gritted his teeth, passed Little Ogi another charm, and began to draw an Array instrument track on the ground with his fingertip.

In the process, the effects of the first talisman expired, and the white-robed spirit advanced again, only to be repelled by Little Ogi with the talisman.

“Done.”

Bai Yi barely finished drawing the array when he felt dizzy. He gasped, “Let it come over…”

The three of them stood in the circle drawn in blood, watching the female ghost slowly float into the range of the array.

“Now…”

Bai Yi quickly drew the charm with both hands, initiating the array.

Whoo!

A suction force formed in his palm, bringing with it a tearing pain.

“Ah!”

To Bai Yi’s horror, a gaping maw tore open in his right hand, filled with sharp teeth and a slimy tongue.

Snap!

The bloody array on the ground lifted off and entered the body of the female spirit, forming runes and suspending her in mid-air.

The tongue quickly wrapped around the female spirit, shrinking and swallowing her into the large mouth, even licking its lips with satisfaction.

“What…”

Bai Yi’s forehead was clammy with sweat, with a severe pain and cold spreading from his body, causing him to shudder uncontrollably.

At the same time, he finally understood the real meaning of ‘Exorcism’!

‘Using ourselves as cages, sealing numerous Revenants? In the end, when the Exorcist dies… it will only transform into a more terrifying disaster…’
