Escape the Infinite Chambers

Chapter 128 - Escaping from Arcanum Train (XXI)

Editor: Kitty

Black cat pulled the tied-up Crow all the way into carriage No.3, and this odd number caused them both to feel a little agitated. It meant that they were not far away from their destination, but at the same time, they were also not far away from death.

Carriage No.3 was as dirty and messy as expected, and there was no one in it. But as soon as they went in, they found that there were large patches of water marks everywhere. On the ground, on the sofa, and on the window of the train car, it was like the entire train car had just been flooded, and all the items in it were crumpled.

“Oh, it’s water. How wonderful.” Crow was led by Black cat with the rope, but he was still at ease. Because there was so much water on the ground, when Crow stepped in the puddles, water splashed onto Black cat’s pants in front of him.

Black cat had no objections against this. In his opinion, this was just the little devil being naughty, but he just needed to be properly disciplined. So he pulled Crow over, hugged his waist, and dropped a kiss on his lips.

In enjoyment, Crow squinted his eyes and leaned against Black cat’s arms. He rubbed against the man’s chest, heard the beautiful...... rhythm of the other’s heartbeat. As if intoxicated by it, Crow said, “You really make me feel hopeless, handsome sir.”

“What is the kind of hopelessness you feel?” Black cat lowered his head and greedily bit Crow’s ear.

“I can’t describe it...... If you die here, it’s a pity.” Crow wanted to hug Black cat, the kind of hug that allowed him to hang on Black cat, but his hands were tightly bound.

“I’m not going to die,” Black cat declared.

They then went to see the message on the connecting door of car No.3, which was an odd car. Therefore, the message on the door had a new improvement from before. Moreover, it was obvious that this car was related to water.

[Carriage No.3 is cursed]

[You will fall into an illusion of being in the ‘deep sea’]

[Do not be defeated by your senses]

[Kill the enemy to get the key]

“I’ve always thought that these hints on the doors are really interesting, aren’t they?” Crow leaned on Black cat lazily. He appeared extremely lazy, and it was as if his entire body had gone soft and boneless. If Black cat did not support him, Crow, who had gone soft, would definitely collapse on the ground.

“What do you mean by interesting?” Black cat almost stuck his face to the other party’s face, and he flirtatiously asked.

“It always tries its best to get us to kill each other.”

Although Crow’s hands were tied, he could still move his arms. He raised his hands and put his arms around Black cat’s head. In this way, Crow hung on Black cat’s body and rubbed against his body hungrily.

Crow said, “You see, we don’t have much time left. I bet we wasted more than half an hour in the previous carriage No.5. We only have less than an hour at most, but there is still a big problem ahead. Oh...... But why should we trouble ourselves? We are going to die anyway—”

“So you want to...?” Black cat was smiling as he embraced Crow’s waist.

Crow narrowed his eyes, and with a tone that almost sounded coquettish and seductive, he said: “Let’s do it.”

This suggestion really tempted Black cat.

In particular, Crow’s face expressed his longing and desire, and his legs were rubbing against Black cat, uncovering his seduction. For a man with normal needs like Black cat, the temptation he was facing was great...... No, it was extremely great, akin to a candy coated with poison.

“Come on...... This place of yours is hard.” Crow obscenely kneaded himself against Black cat, fully showcasing his attraction and charm.

Even his voice seemed to be coated with a layer of honey. Crow said, “Don’t you want it? You obviously like me...... You see, my hands are tied up. I don’t have any weapons on my body. I can’t beat you. Just like a little lamb ready to be slaughtered at any time. Don’t you want to do it? For example, you can pull my legs apart and cruelly deflower me...”

Before Crow finished speaking, Black cat tightly embraced him and sealed his delicious lips.

He pressed him onto the sofa seat in the carriage. Although the sofa was wet and uncomfortable, neither of them cared that much. Black cat was completely bewitched by Crow. He pressed the hateful little devil on the sofa and began to rip away his clothes. Crow showed a scheming smile, as if he had been plotting something.

Just as they were thrown into the throes of lust and lost all senses, they did not discover that the water on the ground began to ascend.

Carriage No.3 was a tightly enclosed carriage because the front and rear connecting doors of this train car were heavy iron doors. As long as the doors are closed, this train car would be tightly sealed. Therefore, if the water in carriage No.3 rose, it was impossible for the water to flow into another carriage through the crack in the door.

Therefore, when the faucet of carriage No.3 turned on automatically, there was no drain on the floor of the toilet, and the bowl of the toilet was tightly sealed. Thus, the water from the faucet filled the whole sink, and it splashed out of the sink. The door of the toilet was closed, but the water still flowed out through the several centimeter gap under the toilet door to the pathway outside the door of the toilet, and the water began to merge with the accumulated water on the ground.

More and more water began to flow out, and the speed of water flow was also very fast. The water hose in the toilet was about to explode, and the area of the train car itself was not large. Soon, the floor of the carriage was filled with water that could cover the soles of someone’s shoes.

Just when Black cat had wanted to take off Crow’s trousers, he had no choice but to stop.

Crow’s upper body was naked, his hands were still tied, and his head lay limply on the sofa. Black cat could not help but give him a peck on his lips.

“You are so lovely, my baby,” Black cat said to him, “I would love to have you, but not now.”

They could hear the sound of water running in the toilet, and the water on the ground was rising, and the situation suddenly turned for the worse. This was because if they didn’t stop the running water, they would have to do it in the water, though that sounded very thrilling.

Black cat pulled Crow closer and dressed him again, but his hands remained tied. He told Crow to sit on the sofa while he gave him another peck: “Wait for me here.”

After that, Black cat stepped through the rising water to head to the toilet. The water flow was very fast, and it gushed out at a shocking speed. The water had overflowed Black cat’s shoes, soaked the edges of his pants, and burst forward towards his calves. The water caused some garbage on the ground to float, and an empty plastic mineral water bottle floated over Black cat’s feet.

Black cat lowered his head to look at the mineral water bottle. Something subtle came to his mind, much like a flash of light.

But the idea flashed by so fast that Black cat could not catch it, so he had to continue to walk towards the toilet. He found that the door of the toilet was tightly closed, but the water still flowed out through the gap under the toilet door, and more water kept gushing out.

Black cat reached out to twist the handle of the door open, but it still remained closed.

The door wsa locked.

Black cat realized that they were not in a good situation now. He thought for a while and began to think of using more violent means to open the door, so he stepped backwards and began to kick the door with his foot.

Black cat was very strong, and without a doubt, the strength he used to kick the door was not weak. But it was not known why the door to the toilet was as unshakable as Mount Tai. It stayed tightly shut, and even if Black cat had used all his might to kick it, it refused to budge. And the more Black cat kicked the door, the faster the water flowed out.

Black cat frowned slightly when he saw that he couldn’t open the door. He realized that the secret room would not be so simple. The water was rising to a higher and higher level, and it got so high that it had already covered Black cat’s calves and was about to reach his knee caps.

Crow, who was placed there, retracted his legs as he sat on the sofa seat. The water got higher and higher. One was afraid that he wouldn’t be able to sit on the sofa afterwards. Crow felt it was slightly regretful since, obviously, he had almost done it with Black cat if not for the horrible rising water.

However, this also seemed interesting. Crow thought of something and revealed a smile.

Black cat could not open the door to the toilet, and then he found that even the door to the crew’s lounge could not be opened. He could only return. When he came back, he saw Crow squatting on the sofa, paddling in the water. Crow also saw Black cat had returned. His eyes blinked as he gazed at him. With a smile, he said, “Are we going to drown here? Although I can swim.”

“We have to find a way to get the water to flow out or find the key to get out of this train car as soon as possible,” Black cat said.

“Every carriage is a perfectly enclosed carriage...... I don’t think we’ll find a way to get the water out of here,” Crow muttered. He looked as if he harbored ill intentions.

“Break those windows?” Black cat looked at the window of this train car. Outside of the train remained pitch dark. Occasionally, something seemed to be flashing, but it might also be his misconception.

“You can try...” Crow licked his lips: “The windows of this train are very thick and can withstand great pressure. Of course, the most important thing is that we don’t have tools to break the glass here. It’s impossible to break the glass with wooden poles unless we have iron hammers or you are strong enough to break the glass with your bare hands.”

“Of course, even if these conditions are met,” Crow said: “We may not be able to break the damn glass in the end.”

“So we can only choose to obtain the key and get out of this train car as soon as possible?” Black cat narrowed his eyes as he looked at Crow.

Crow said, “We don’t have any other choice, but do you know where the key is?”

This sentence caused the look in Black cat’s eyes to grow a little cold.

“You have a hunch, don’t you?” Crow jumped into the water and walked in front of Black cat. Now, the height of the water had covered their knee caps and reached their thighs, and the sofa seat had been fully submerged, making the sofa wet.

“Think about what I said previously,” Crow continued, “There was a dead cat in carriage No. 12. It drowned in the water and had strange wounds on its body.”

“Is that referring to me?” Black cat glanced at Crow. Crow was a little shorter, thinner, and weaker than him.

“The key to carriage No.12 waas in the cat’s stomach.” Crow stuck himself onto Black cat and said as his tone was filled with pity, “Why didn’t you do it with me just now? It’s a pity to die like this.”

“If I continue doing it with you, I’ll probably become like that cat.” Black cat suddenly laughed: “I was scratched by the beast and left to drown in the water, so you can naturally open my stomach and take away the key.”

“Truly. You don’t know how to enjoy yourself.” Crow, who was placed in Black cat’s embrace, kneaded against him, “To die in a gentle embrace, isn’t that great?”
