Chapter 76

7:50 pm, Lantai Railway Station.

Even in summer, it was already dark around eight o'clock.

The lights of the Lantai Railway Station tore a clear patch of light in the night. Gu Qingming was wearing a dark green loose-fitting three-quarter-sleeved T-shirt and black straight-leg overalls, which made him look thin and straight. His eyes under the thick black framed glasses were calm and beautiful, with the spirit unique to a young man.

He dragged his large silver-gray suitcase, looking at the group of "Love and Supernatural Society" on his phone while searching for his friends.

"The first streetlight, the second streetlight, the third streetlight..."

Gu Qingming looked up in the bustling crowd and saw three teenagers with different clothing styles leaning against street lamps or suitcases. When they saw his figure, they instantly perked up and raised their heads that were almost buried in their mobile phones.

"Student Xiao Ming!"

Chu Zhongyuan put away his phone and waved. It seemed like a very long time had passed even though they had only been apart for a day.

He felt empty in his heart until Gu Qingming's familiar figure appeared in front of him against the light of the street lamp. Looking at the edge of his little classmate's face raised by gold, Chu Zhongyuan felt that the empty place in his heart was filled.

This feeling... is really strange, but also really... inexplicably addictive.

For some reason, Chu Zhongyuan thought of the boys he occasionally saw waiting for their girlfriends under the street lights after the evening self-study class at Lantai No. 1 Middle School.

"Here I am! I'm finally here! Who knows? I packed my luggage yesterday morning! I'm going to buy it at the CPA headquarters over there if nothing works!"

Luo Dong jumped up and chattered, with his mirrorless camera hanging around his neck, ready to take crazy photos.

"Luosu City, here I come!"

After all, that is the city of Luosha, the place where so many people's hearts and gods aspire to go. Even from the perspective of CPA, it is a tempting place that hides countless possibilities and secrets.

For combat specialists like them, that land beneath the endless snow-capped peaks hides many ancient secrets.

For the protectors of mysterious creatures, the mysterious creatures on that land are world-famous, and most of the species have extremely high research and protection value.

For CPA scholars, the ancient civilization of that land is as elusive as the wind, making people want to peek into the secrets beneath the mountains and snow.

No one can refuse such a piece of pure land, let alone...

The CPA's last summons for decades appears here. CPA and Ceobe will compete in the secret realm here for the only treasure that is worthy of being listed as an earth talisman.

Although due to the confidentiality agreement, they don't know the details.

But... at least they can serve as standby personnel and help Boss Cao.

After all, they are the teacher's students.

“Beep—”

The tortuous sound of the train whistle was heard, and in the dark night, the distant lights of the locomotive were extremely bright.

Following the numbered carriages painted green, the four members of the Supernatural Society trotted on the platform to find the carriages.

After a brief stop, the train started slowly and headed towards the East C area, the place closest to the sky.

The hard sleeper was very narrow, comparable to the storage room of Lantai No. 1 Middle School, but Gu Qingming slept very soundly.

Amid the hushed conversation in the carriage, Gu Qingming rubbed his eyes and half-stood up.

I saw Luo Dong, who was sleeping on the lower bunk, had already stuck to the window. It turned out that the sun had risen without me noticing and it was bright outside.

The rising sun dimly illuminated the sky. With the help of the sunlight which was not yet strong, Gu Qingming saw that the outside was no longer the coastal plain.

Ravines, yellow sand, and surging rivers.

The mirrorless camera in Luo Dong's hand fell with a slight click.

The train was suddenly plunged into darkness - the train had just entered a tunnel.

Then, the booming sun broke out completely from the other end of the horizon, and the dazzling sunlight spread all over the earth.

Gu Qingming fell asleep again in a daze. Perhaps it was because he had worked hard for a semester in the second year of high school, going to bed late and getting up early every day. As if to make up for the lack of sleep, Gu Qingming slept until noon.

However, this time he did not wake up naturally, but was awakened by the strong smell of instant noodles.

The taste of the instant noodles was too tempting for the hungry traveler. Gu Qingming's dream even changed in real time to Cao Sheng's smiling face as he ate instant noodles during the first evening self-study class.

Gu Qingming struggled to get up from the bed. The three people below were awake. Chu Zhongyuan was making instant noodles. When he saw him wake up, he brought a bowl to Gu Qingming.

Gu Qingming shook his head, forced himself to get out of bed with a somewhat hazy consciousness, went to the bathroom to wash up, and then came back to take the instant noodles from Chu Zhongyuan.

Gu Qingming drank the golden soup of fatty beef with intestines and eggs. He felt that his weak body, which had been exhausted from sleeping, had regained most of its life.

The feeling of loss that had not been made up in the past when he saw Cao Sheng eating instant noodles during evening self-study was now filled. Gu Qingming even had an illusion of incomparable happiness.

“So happy.”

It was obvious that Gu Qingming was not the only one who had the same idea, Chu Zhongyuan said with emotion, holding the car window.

"So happy, let's play the four-player village version of Landlord?"

After Zheng Qiuji finished rinsing the soup, he stacked the instant noodle boxes and kettles that several people had used up together, ready to throw them away when he filled the kettle with water.

Luo Dong had already taken enough photos of the recent scenery and had already pulled out two decks of cards from his bag and started shuffling them.

The logo of Luo's father's company was printed on the playing cards, and it was obvious that Luo Dong had stolen them from the company.

The peaceful years ended with Chu Zhongyuan's cheating. We changed to an aerobic train. The distant snow-capped mountains with exotic shadows came into view. Continuous alpine meadows appeared in the distant direction, extending beyond the railway.

The black and white sheepdog ran back and forth, struggling constantly around the flock of sheep, while the gray and white cattle and sheep wagged their tails leisurely on the meadow, looking indescribably free, as if they were the most leisurely creatures in the world.

"This is... the plateau..."

Luo Dong's mirrorless camera did not stop, and even the sound of any conversation disappeared in the car, leaving only exclamations and silent shock.

“This is the plateau.”

Gu Qingming looked at the endless azure blue sky. Even the stream flowing over the rocky beach had the coolness of the snow-capped mountains.

The uninhabited areas and nature reserves he passed by were covered with dense vegetation and were called life-forbidden areas. He could even see wild yaks and Tibetan donkeys living leisurely in the uninhabited areas.

The nameless snow-capped peaks stand tall in the distance, like giants secretly guarding this pure land.

In the wilderness, only the proud train follows the established track, heading towards the distance.

Like a miracle.

"Come on, come on! Come on!"

Luo Dong pulled Zheng Qiuji towards the connection between the carriages, and Gu Qingming and Chu Zhongyuan hurriedly caught up.

In the shaking carriage, everyone was looking at each other's scenery, and no one paid attention to the teenagers.

Running to the connection of the train, where the shaking sound and the clanging sound of the rails connecting were clearly heard, Luo Dong arranged the positions of several companions and raised the mirrorless camera.

"Come on, I picked a good spot when I got on the bus. You can see the most scenery here. Let's take a photo of the journey!"

The young master's request did not allow for discussion, and he immediately began the countdown.

"three!"

Chu Zhongyuan quickly smoothed his bangs and put his hands dishonestly on Gu Qingming's shoulders.

"two!"

Zheng Qiuji tried hard to make his expression look less stiff.

"one!"

Gu Qingming thought about the posture for a long time, but in the end he didn't react and made a rabbit ears gesture to Chu Zhongyuan.

“Crack!”

The sound of the shutter was heard, and a moment of time was frozen and preserved forever.

The young men couldn't help but smile brightly, with snow-capped mountains bathed in golden sunshine and endless green meadows behind them.

In the meadow, a few fuzzy flowers were swaying, blooming brilliantly in the place closest to the sky.

However, this is just a small part of the impression they left during their journey. In addition to this one, they will take many, many more photos together.

It was already noon on the third day when the train arrived in Luosu City.

Forty hours of hard sleeper sleeper did not drain the teenagers’ energy. They dragged their suitcases onto the pale and clean platform.

A golden nameplate stood in front of the white building, with the large golden characters "Losa City Station" standing out clearly.

The physical fitness and adaptability of the psychics are far beyond that of ordinary people. Altitude sickness has no effect on them. They even feel their thinking is clearer, and the operation of EN becomes smoother due to the higher concentration of mysterious factors than normal areas.

Mixing in with the crowd as I exited the station, the street scenery was like being transported into another world.

Several tourists were holding oxygen cylinders in their hands, breathing oxygen as they walked. They looked at the high school students who dared to walk quickly or even run as soon as they got off the train in the plateau, with ferocious expressions as if they had seen wild Tibetan bears.

An uncle rubbed his eyes and felt that he was hallucinating due to lack of oxygen.

How could someone not believe in superstition and run as soon as he got off the train on the plateau?

The three-story white flat building is the most common street scene here. The first floor is occupied by various shops, and the tall GG signs have translations of the local ethnic language and Mandarin.

Many people were wearing ethnic robes, and tall snow-capped peaks were very common at the end of the street.

Several high school students who had just arrived in Luosu City had no time to enjoy the beautiful scenery. They wandered around the city for a long time before they followed the professional navigation of CPAAPP to the local CPA headquarters.

It was a rather unprepossessing ground-floor building, buried among the numerous ethnic-style buildings in Luosu City, like an ordinary brick on the wall.

Only the psychics in the dark know that this is the CPA headquarters for the entire Third Pole division, where many elite forces of the CPA stationed in the Third Pole region are stationed.

Apart from those masters who are practicing in various places in the Third Pole, this is the only place that can be considered the safest.

Cao Sheng asked several high school students to follow him here, and he was also afraid that they would attract Ceob's attack, so he placed them in the headquarters of the Third Pole Division in Luosha City, which had more superpowers and was safer than in Lantai City.

The people on the street didn't care about anyone and continued to flow in their own direction.

Gu Qingming stood at the end of the team. He put on his hood to protect himself from the strong sunlight. In the crowd not far away, there seemed to be a pair of eyes chasing him.

But when Gu Qingming turned his head, that gaze had already shifted and disappeared into the crowd, just like water dissolving in water.
