Chapter 478 The Strange Third Person
The familiar trance returned.
By the time Colin came to his senses, a large section of the train had already appeared and only the body of the train was visible.
And it's slowly coming to a stop...
"Here it comes..."
Colin didn't delay. He reached out and pulled his collar, adjusted his neckline, took a few steps, and stepped into the train door. The inexplicable trance in his body quickly disappeared.
The warm yellow light inside the car remains.
However, the main style has changed a bit. It is no longer the common steampunk style, but has a bit of minimalist futuristic flavor.
"'Passenger' hasn't changed."
Flames gathered in Colin's eyes, and as he glanced around, he could clearly see the dark figures in each seat.
Then, he glanced outside the car door, retracted the bonfire that maintained the enclosed space, and found a place to sit down.
During this process, he kept the flames burning on his body.
It was pretty much what he thought...
Within two seconds after he sat down, the "figures" in the three rows around him stood up one after another, either changing seats or walking to the back of the car, silently distanced themselves from each other.
"Are you so against 'bonfire'?"
Colin sat in the seat by the window and could feel an indescribable disgust.
“Ding ding ding—”
The rapid sound of train bells rang.
Colin withdrew his gaze from these things, and after making some necessary preparations, he took out the prepared game console and began to capture other lives in the pet encyclopedia to pass the time.
After all, this train would take several hours to run, and I couldn't just take a nap during the journey...
After about two hours, Colin felt that the train, which had been traveling at a constant speed, began to slow down.
So he put away the game console.
The first stop is an ordinary small city that is enclosed by special things.
"Where is this? What are those people fighting about?"
Colin looked through the window and saw a lot of explosions coming from all directions. In the center, a group of extraordinary people who should be official personnel were besieging an out-of-control humanoid alien life form with a relatively strong aura.
The group of official personnel failed to capture the city after a long siege. Although they suppressed them on the surface, they found it difficult to kill them. Instead, they suffered many casualties on their side.
In addition, some of the officials who were besieging the train were watching the train warily.
"He looks like a runaway member of a heretical faction, about as powerful as that 'Deep Sea Messenger'..."
Colin made a simple judgment and roughly estimated the intensity.
It won't be easy for these people to capture this creature.
Because the strongest person on the scene is only a level 7 official standard person, and to take this thing down, you need to be at least level 8, which would be easier...
Of course, given the current situation, victory should be a sure thing, but the casualty rate is quite high.
After thinking about it, Colin saw that the train had just stopped and there was still plenty of time, so he got up and walked to the train door.
Some people who were watching the train warily were stunned for a moment when they suddenly saw a stranger on fire at the train entrance. They were immediately shocked and suspected that the stranger was the reinforcement of the heretics.
"Haha, don't be nervous. I, Lin, don't like fighting. I only like to resolve conflicts. I plan to intervene and mediate the conflict here..."
Facing the gazes of these people, Colin made a joke.
At this moment, before the people gathered outside could figure out what the man had said, they suddenly saw him looking past them, towards the battlefield seven or eight hundred meters behind. Flames gathered in his hands, as if he was preparing some kind of move...
"Be careful!" the guard shouted.
Now everyone is concentrating on suppressing the heretical bishops. If they are disturbed, the whole army may be wiped out!
However, to their surprise, the flames weren't aimed at their colleagues, but at that heretic...
But then a man named Ke stretched out his hand and a flame shot out. The flame flashed in the air and turned into a rope, rushing straight towards the heretic bishop, wrapping it around his neck and pulling him into the car. The strange bishop could only let out a wail before being caught and his life was wiped out and he was burned into a piece of bioenergy charcoal.
"This..." The officials were stunned.
They thought that the other party wanted to save people, but... it seems that is not the case?
Otherwise it wouldn't have been burned like that.
However, before they could figure out what was going on, the train made a clanging sound, the doors closed, and the eyes of all the onlookers inevitably flickered.
When I came to my senses, the other person had already gone far away, just like a passerby who did good deeds without leaving his name.
Resolve the exception and leave.
But……
How could such a good thing happen in the world?
They were somewhat suspicious as to whether there was some unknown conspiracy hidden inside.
"Captain Rogge, what's going on..."
"I don't know, but that train should be the S-class anomaly 'Death Train'..."
"Hiss, S-rank..."
Everyone gasped, feeling a sense of fear after surviving a disaster.
In their understanding, contact with something of this level would basically mean death...
"Although this train is S-class, it's not that dangerous... Let's not talk about it for now. I'll report it to the organization..."
After saying a word of comfort, Captain Rogge began to contact his superiors.
…
At the same time, inside the train, Colin stood at the door , not thinking too much about the "good deed" he had just done.
To him, it was just a favor he offered when he saw her passing by...
There is no loss, and you may even make a good connection.
At this moment, Colin looked at his spoils and an idea came to his mind.
“Crash…”
The biochar at the door burned violently under his will and eventually turned into a pile of ashes.
At the same time, Colin took out a piece of gold and, according to Shana's teachings, manipulated the flame obtained from the charcoal, integrating it into the gold, turning it into a golden mark that contained a certain amount of bonfire power.
The flame above can be thrown out when necessary, which is equivalent to his normal attack.
If you throw it out at some critical moment, it should still be able to have a certain effect.
"It's good, but it costs a bit of gold."
With a grunt, Colin put the mark in his pocket, then looked around to make sure nothing had sneaked into the train. He sat back in his seat and took out the game to continue.
After quite some time, the train gradually stopped.
This time, there were no accidents and the train stopped in a flat wilderness.
No one got off and no one got on. When the time came, the train started moving.
"This train always gives me the feeling of just slacking off..."
Colin raised his hand and touched his chin, watching the train move again.
Third stop…
There was also no ripple, and nothing seemed to happen.
but.
As the doors closed at the third stop and the train started moving, Colin suddenly realized that the entire train had suddenly become somewhat shabby...
The originally warm lights in the carriage no longer give people such a warm feeling.
Everything in front of me seems unchanged, but it seems that something has changed invisibly.
Familiar things begin to become unfamiliar...
"call."
Ke Lin took a deep breath, crossed his legs, took out a power bank, and charged the red and blue phone in his hand while playing.
According to previous experience, we will not encounter anything inside the train car. The only thing we need to worry about is whether we will encounter any danger at the next stop.
At the fourth stop, this time was much longer than all the previous ones combined.
It was over eight hours before Colin saw the train stop.
Outside is a continuous and gloomy forest...
"Looks like he's been here before."
Colin took a look and found that this seemed to be the abnormal area where the "super coconut tree" with a large number of heads was located.
At that time, he was in the process of escaping from the "Seventh Box Garden World"...
He still remembers that the thing seemed to notice something on the train and gave a reminder.
"I didn't see it this time, but if I had the strength I have now, I wouldn't have been caught off guard by that rat..."
Colin sighed, then looked away from outside, waiting for the train to start again.
However, at this moment, he seemed to feel something, looked up again, and suddenly focused his eyes. He saw a "coconut egg tree" composed of hundreds of heads appearing less than fifty meters outside the car door!
The eyes on its heads were all looking towards the train.
And, it seemed as if he sensed Colin's gaze.
All the heads opened their mouths and spoke in unison, emitting sounds that carried the power of the soul.
"When the future... calls upon us..."
"When needed...when the future...calls us..."
"Call us... in the future... when needed..."
“…”
Repeated sentences kept coming, Colin narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at the thing outside. If he understood correctly, what kind of goodwill was this expressing?
"When in need, what does it mean to be in need? Is it talking to me, or talking to 'Ms. Rabbit' through me? Or is it able to predict the future, saw something, and thought I would need it, so it wants to establish some kind of connection?"
Colin was confused.
But now that I think about it, the first time I encountered this thing...
It doesn't seem to express any malice?
"It seems our initial assessment of it was based on a D-class personnel who got on board halfway. In reality, it's unclear whether it's good or bad."
As the thought flashed through his mind, the train start bell rang.
Colin suppressed his messy thoughts, took note of the matter, and would see what "Ms. Rabbit" had to say when he had the chance.
Next, we will head to the fifth stop, which I have never been to before.
"The fifth stop isn't too dangerous, at least for me, that's how it seems..."
Colin glanced around and could feel that his surroundings were vague and he felt like he was being watched and spied on from time to time. The "passengers" riding around became much clearer.
A strong sense of disgust and resentment has thus become very obvious...
"These things seem quite disgusted and uncomfortable with me."
Colin uttered a "huh".
If the mission didn't require him to avoid contact as much as possible, he would have burned these guys into energy charcoal.
But compared to this, he began to be a little curious about the fifth note of the mission. Who would the two colleagues he would meet at the fifth stop be?
Theoretically speaking, it is most likely someone from this side of Earth.
However, there is also a certain possibility that it is an outsider like the "Light Chaser".
With anticipation, Colin changed the tape and the game. In the game, he controlled a pink ball of flesh that could devour everything, constantly devouring various enemies and gaining their power...
For a while, until Colin finished the game and got all the achievements, the train did not stop.
"Fourteen hours, that's a bit long..."
Colin took a deep breath and grabbed some food to fill his stomach.
Two hours later...
The train finally showed signs of slowing down and stopping again.
Soon, a patch of lush tall grass appeared behind the window. Colin was stunned when he saw the green light flashing from time to time in the tall green grass.
What's going on? I've entered a scene I've been to before twice in a row today...
This has never happened before on a train.
"Boom~"
“Huff, huff, huff~”
Without thinking too much, Colin saw that a battle seemed to be going on here. Not far away, a patch of tall grass was completely cleared by the flames of war, and the ground was littered with body parts and debris.
Several figures were standing where the train was about to stop, fighting with a large group of alien creatures with sharp claws, pale skin, and humanoid shapes.
Artillery, lightning, wind blades and other attack effects continue one after another.
“Click.”
When the door opened, several people immediately had a tacit understanding, launched a large-scale attack, dealt with the aliens around them, and jumped into the train.
The monster behind did not catch up...
Seeing this scene, the people who had escaped inside breathed a sigh of relief.
These monsters may seem fragile, but their numbers are huge and they are extremely good at sneak attacks, so dealing with them is still a headache.
"There's someone I know."
When Colin saw two of them and the names hanging above their heads, he couldn't help but be surprised.
One is the "Lord of the Fish Pond", who has been exchanging points through various assets on parchment. In addition, he has a set of powerful props composed of purple equipment, so he is quite well-known.
Especially Colin, he was more familiar with him. After all, when the gold cards were first distributed, it was this guy who begged him to sell the gold cards all day long.
It was not until later, when his strength was truly demonstrated to everyone in the company, that he stopped mentioning the sale of gold cards.
At the same time, the "Lord of the Fish Pond" was also stunned when he saw Colin. He didn't expect that the person to be assisted in the mission was actually Brother Shunzi.
"Wait, how can I help with Brother Shunzi's strength?"
The "Owner of the Fish Pond" suddenly felt his heart skip a beat.
The situation seems a little bad, but now it seems too late to refuse...
Colin didn't look at him for long. He turned his head slightly, his eyes rolling, and looked at another person. This person's name was "It's All Orange Cat's Fault"...
What surprised him was that this person seemed very strong.
There are many mysterious and strange patterns on its body, which seem to be related to the airflow. There is a breeze surrounding its body, making a "whooshing" sound.
"It seems to be a characteristic, a true Beyonder?"
Colin was surprised. Generally, the physical fitness of employees depends entirely on their props, talents and skills.
And this person seems to have merged with the characteristics and is closer to the extraordinary person like the official personnel.
However, surprise is surprise...
What puzzled Colin was, wasn't it said there were only two people?
Why are there three coming up?
Colin looked at the third colleague whose name was above his head.
