Chapter 485: Chapter 172 Time is a Perception Illusion_4
After all, she had chosen the Hero Trial, thus she was prepared for death.
But there was some regret.
It seemed like she had already touched upon Great Fortune, but didn’t grasp it.
It was her own fate that wasn’t enough.
Catherine Carter suddenly had a feeling of resignation.
She acutely felt her life coming to an end, and in an instant, all her thoughts seemed to have let go.
Many thoughts ran through Catherine Carter’s mind.
Her short-lived life seemed quite splendid…
Yet when she thought of all the times from childhood to adulthood when she strived to be first, there was a modicum of embarrassment.
Ha ha ha…
If she could do it all again, she would be more low-key, and then aim for first place.
As her thoughts wandered, something else emerged.
Something unrelated to her.
That guy is truly impressive… why was he able to comprehend it?
Catherine Carter couldn’t help but admit, she held Leonard Churchill in a different light.
Originally, she aimed for Senior Clinton, whom was shrouded in mystery.
But gradually,
She noticed the coincidental Leonard Churchill standing out more and more.
Though she knew that being friends with Elder Clinton was probably some kind of fortune added to him.
But the more she interacted, the more she felt that he was extraordinary.
Oh, so that’s why the Fate Coin trembled.
Turns out, he was also part of the Great Fortune that she wanted to take hold of.
Some thoughts suddenly became clear.
But it seemed too late.
Catherine Carter herself didn’t notice her inner transformation.
However, missing something vital, this butterfly breaking free from its cocoon would come to a halt.
She was ready to face death.
However, at this moment, an unexpected chance came.
Suddenly, her palm felt cold, and a round object fell into her hand.
In an instant, a cool sensation shot up into her head.
All her troubles seemed to clear up.
“This…is that kid, Leonard Churchill’s friend about to die?”
“Alas, forget it. Since the person is going to die, I won’t take her money…”
II II
As time flew by faster and faster, Catherine Carter was visibly aging.
She didn’t unravel the time trap of the Catastrophe Space, and was drawn into a profound meditative state.
She could hear everything.
However, everything around her seemed to have nothing to do with her.
Leonard Churchill and the others, meanwhile, were watching her.
Among them, only Catherine Carter hadn’t escaped death.
Leonard Churchill was rather indifferent.
He and Catherine Carter wouldn’ t consider each other friends, they were mere acquaintances.
If she doesn’t die, that’dbebest.
If she died, it was her own fate.
No one else could help.
Elder Clinton felt remorse inside, thinking that if he didn’t take the girl’s money, she wouldn’t have followed them here.
In the end, he couldn’t endure the torment inside him. The greedy old man took out the Gold Coin he had earlier, rubbed it a few times reluctantly and returned it to Catherine Carter’s palm.
However, after this Gold Coin changed hands and carried some karma, it fell into Catherine Carter’s hand and started to tremble slightly.
In that moment, it was as if some mysterious energy associated with fate began to resonate.
Leonard Churchill watched, his pupils slightly constricting.
He didn’t understand what happened.
But he saw Catherine Carter’s originally aged face suddenly glowing, becoming full and rosy.
“Did she comprehend it too?”
Leonard Churchill thought it was a bit unbelievable.
But seeing the dim light of the Fate Coin, he suddenly realized something: “Did she win her life gamble…”
He suddenly understood somewhat the purpose of this woman’s Hero Trial.
A big bet indeed…
In just a few breaths, Catherine Carter restored to her stunningly beautiful youthful self when she first boarded the train.
She opened her eyes, full of joy, looking at the three people in front of her.
Like being reborn, her gleaming blue eyes released an incredibly deep glow.
Catherine Carter held the coin in her hand, stood up respectfully and deeply bowed: “Thankyou, senior!”
Elder Clinton was bewildered by her actions, “What?”
Catherine Carter didn’t bother to explain more.
Grandpa had told her before, not to speak carelessly, otherwise I might not be able to bear some consequences.
She then turned to look at Leonard Churchill, her face revealing a sincere smile like never before: “And thank you.”
Leonard Churchill chuckled lightly, a calmness in his gaze.
The reason he was able to comprehend the mysteries of time before wasn’t by chance.
It was also because he was touched by Elder Clinton’s fortune!
The fact is just as Leonard Churchill guessed.
As the Underworld Train was about to arrive at its destination, time accelerated even more rapidly.
Several other Pioneer Hunters in the carriage disintegrated into dust before the train came to a halt, leaving no trace behind.
Just as it was when they boarded the train, no traces were left.
Whoo Whoo Whoo…
The train reached another station.
Leonard Churchill and the others got off the train.
Finally, what’s in front of them isn’t an endless body of Stygian River Water.
Among the black silhouettes of the mountains in the distance, there seemed to be many ancient buildings.
“Ah…finally arrived at the station.”
“Yes. I didn’t expect to take a train ride and almost died on it.”
“It truly is an amazing experience. But, what’s going on with this Summer Shepherd City?”
After getting off the train, Leonard Churchill also felt a sigh of relief.
Surviving till the station, it was not at all easy.
He looked at the antiquity in his hand, a clueless look in his eyes.
This was a bronze snake artefact.
The material looked a lot like the previously obtained bronze piece that recorded the Fifty-two Demonic God Mystic Arts.
That’s why Leonard Churchill thought it was strange.
This was given to him by the train conductor after they had cracked the time trap in the Disaster Space.
The conductor also said an ancient language phrase that he didn’t understand. Leonard Churchill thought this could be a key item in this Mysterious Realm. However, just then, a figure ran over from the darkness in the distance.
“Hey there, how did you three guys end up here?”
Leonard Churchill looked at him with caution.
This place hadn’t seen a person in thousands of years, suddenly a person appeared, definitely monstrous.
Simultaneously perplexed, the sleazy running posture, why does it seem familiar?
Both Catherine Carter and Colin felt the same.
When that person came out of the dark, the three of them finally saw clearly, if that guy with the missing front tooth wasn’t Elder Clinton, then who was he?
But just as they saw clearly, an eerie fear crept up their spines.
Because… they had all disembarked the train together.
Elder Clinton was behind them just a second ago, still talking.
So, who is this person right in front of them?
Is he human or ghost?
