Synopsis

At 3:17 a.m., Mo Duoduo found a black-and-gold train ticket smelling of fish in the mailbox.

Written on the back in phosphorescent ink were the words: [You are cordially invited to witness the Misty Sea Railway Company's 49th voyage: your only chance to escape the prison of time].

When the adventure team followed the tide into rusty carriage No. 13, every electronic device went dark at once.

Beyond the carved glass, thick fog churned, and the distant roar of a steam locomotive could be heard. Cold seawater seeped up through the carriage carpet, while mold on the ceiling eerily formed the headline of an 1897 newspaper:

[The Emerald: School Ship Sinks Mysteriously, Thirty Child Passengers Disappear]

Charlie suddenly bristled. The “immortal passengers” chatting and laughing had skin with the waxy sheen of figures in a wax museum, and each had a hollow where the fourth rib on the left side of the chest should be.

When the midnight whistle sounded, Tingting discovered something even more terrifying in the piano room:

Blood-red notes danced across the yellowed sheet music, and half a child's baby tooth was wedged between the piano keys.

When Fuyou shakily blew into a certain clarinet, every immortal in the carriage suddenly began humming in unison. The way their vocal cords vibrated was nothing like a human's...

“This isn't a train. It's a coffin floating on the sea.”

Using his pocket watch, Aikes reached a shocking conclusion: one hour aboard the train made the outside world age by forty-nine days.

Behind the bronze door at the end of the train, carved with an ouroboros, the missing children's ribs were piecing together the finale of the Requiem.

Every section performed brought the fog one nautical mile closer to land.
