[So, are there any sisters who happened to have bought the live broadcast of that male player who would like to say something? ]

[We are used to the omniscient perspective here, so we bought all the live broadcasts of 20 players. Now I tell you that the identity of that person is a noble. Do you dare to believe it? ]

[Didn’t this guy really get the script in advance? ? ]

[You are all praising, I am the only one who envy the rich woman in front who has an omniscient perspective. ]

Qiao Yan took a few seconds to understand what he meant: "You mean, that male player was targeted by the ghosts and was the first to die because he is a noble in this game?"

Shi Yu said calmly: "It's just a guess."

Qiao Yan ignored the question of whether it was a guess or not: "So according to this line of thought, who will the ghost attack next? Other noble players? If identity is the only criterion for the ghost to kill, then what will happen after all the nobles are dead? Will it attack the passengers or the train attendants? If there are always players with noble identities alive, then are the other players definitely safe?"

Shi Yu didn't answer, but just shook his head: "Too little information."

"So what do we do now?"

"Don't you suspect that it was a ghost who killed the male player? If that's true, then it's unlikely that there's no information on this train, since ghosts were humans before they died." Shi Yu said, "If you don't mind the trouble, you can go look for it."

Qiao Yan nodded: "I understand."

After saying that, he raised his hand and grabbed Ji Congyang: "Let's go."

Ji Congyang was at a loss: "What are you doing?"

"Try your luck."

“…”

With two of the four people gone, the originally slightly crowded aisle suddenly became empty.

Tan Wang hesitated for a long time: "Boss..."

Shi Yu finally reached the last step, and slowly gathered the napkins: "Since I boarded the train, the number of players I have met on this train has only reached half of the number initially reported by the system. The information is not enough, and it is difficult to find out where the designated person is."

Tan Wang couldn't hide the disappointment in his eyes. He lowered his head and said, "I understand. I'll go help find some information about that ghost now."

Shi Yu: "But the number of players I have met so far is exactly half of the number reported by the system. I don't know if this is a coincidence."

Tan Wang was stunned.

"The player's bracelet cannot be hidden. You felt it before getting on the bus. The temperature outside the bus was over 30 degrees Celsius, so most passengers wore short sleeves and couldn't use clothes to cover themselves. Besides, it's meaningless to hide the fact that you are a player in a game like Blizzard Mountain. If there are really ten players in this game who have been hiding their identities and even give up asking for information and checking the dead, it's like missing the point."

Shi Yu gathered the paper in his hand into a ball, then folded the pattern: "So sometimes I wonder if there are only ten players on this train."

Tan Wang's eyes suddenly widened and his heart skipped a beat.

Shi Yu didn't look at him. She lowered her eyes and pressed the corner of the tissue into the bag. "But if that's the case, where will the remaining ten players go? The option of death can be ruled out directly. It's meaningless to send players into a dead end without any way to escape. The system obviously has its own reasons for letting players in. But if they are alive, why can't the people on this train see them? Change your way of thinking. Suppose you are not yourself, but one of the ten players. You should get on the train when you enter the game. Then where did you go after getting on the train?"

Tan Wang almost blurted out: "Parallel world? Two developments? Different endings?"

Shi Yu didn't comment and threw the folded paper flower into his palm: "Before we find the person, these speculations are all false propositions. She is very smart."

Tan Wang looked down and said, “……!”

The origami given to him by the boss!

All of Tan Wang's worries disappeared in an instant. While thinking about whether he should find a glass box to put it in, he held the origami given by the emperor and observed it around.

The petals are all the same size, and the joints at the base of the receptacle are not even visible. Such a worthless napkin is folded into a priceless appearance, as if it should be displayed in the Louvre.

With this level of obsessive compulsive disorder...

Tan Wang thought silently, at least it was hopeless.

Duan Wenqing ran into Jiang Ze in the aisle between the fourth and fifth carriages: "Captain Jiang."

The windows in the aisle were opened as wide as possible, and the drizzle outside the car turned into heavy rain at some point, with drops of rain falling one by one.

Jiang Ze rested his elbows on the windowsill, tilted his head back, and closed his eyes slightly. The hair on his forehead was wet, with water droplets sliding down his hair.

Duan Wenqing didn't dare to get close, and he couldn't explain why. He just felt that the other person at this moment was surrounded by a chilling aura. Just getting close to him made him shiver all over. "I've searched the previous carriages, and I didn't find any reports or information that seemed to indicate 'someone died in a railway accident'. There didn't seem to be any rumors circulating among the passengers."

He had been staying in the front carriage and had not seen the male player's body. Jiang Ze had given him information about his death, and it was also Jiang Ze who said that the cause of death might be caused by a ghost. All they had to do was to verify whether this conclusion was correct for the other party: "Should I wait for news from others or try to look for more?"

Jiang Ze didn't say anything. He raised his hand to catch the rain water and rubbed it with his fingertips.

Duan Wenqing waited for a while, then said after careful consideration: "It's still raining outside, should we close the windows..."

"Are you afraid of me?"

He paused.

Jiang Ze opened his eyes, shook off the rain on his hands, and asked lightly, "Are you scared?"

How could I not be afraid?

Duan Wenqing pinched his palms to stop the subconscious action of retreating: "I..."

"You're right to be afraid." Jiang Ze turned around and said in a cool voice, "Keep looking."

Duan Wenqing stood there until he saw the other person disappear out the door, then he pulled up his sleeves and felt his body covered in cold sweat.

The announcement followed the one an hour ago: "Dear passengers, due to an emergency, this CK4685 train will not stop at Chaita Station. We apologize for any inconvenience caused to your travel."

Qiao Yan pulled Ji Congyang back through the noisy carriage.

Shi Yu did not join their search. Of course, with his luck, he would not get any results if he wanted to find something on a train with more than 20 carriages. At this moment, he was curled up in the seat near the window, lying on the dining table, with his long hair falling on his shoulders and most of his face sunk into the shadows.

Tan Wang came back earlier than them and asked silently with his mouth: "Found it?"

"No."

The next second, Shi Yu's eyelashes trembled and he opened his eyes.

Qiao Yan: "Did I wake you up?"

Shi Yu shook his head, his voice slightly hoarse: "I didn't sleep."

Even though I lay on the table for a while at the beginning, I couldn't stay quiet for long because I was completely unable to sleep because of the noise from the broadcast and the passengers.

Qiao Yan looked at him and said, "We haven't found any information about the ghost that might be related to this train. It might be because the place is too big and we haven't searched everywhere. But considering that Ji Congyang found the same thing, I'm afraid there really is no such clue on this train."

Tan Wang didn't expect that the European Emperor would use it this way: "But isn't it too…" to leave everything to his luck?

He considered it for a moment, but still couldn't be tactful: "Rash."

If Ji Congyang's luck is really so good that all clues automatically come to him, and he is always right when he makes multiple choices and guesses, and he can pass the level with his eyes closed, then what are the others playing for?

"It doesn't mean that there are no relevant clues just because he didn't find any clues about the ghost." Qiao Yan's expression remained unchanged, "It's because he is more likely to find clues than ordinary people, but he didn't find any. From this, we can infer that it is highly likely that others will not find any clues either - regardless of whether there are relevant clues in this car."

Tan Wang: “…”

Is there any difference in the meaning of these two sentences?

Shi Yu leaned back in his chair without saying a word. The sleepiness he had finally managed to accumulate was completely shattered by a broadcast. He lowered his head to look at his palms, wanting to fold something again.

The train kept passing stations without stopping and there was no way to fool people any more. The noise in the passenger compartment became more and more intense. Finally, the conductor's voice appeared on the radio.

"Dear passengers, I am the conductor of this train CK4865."

The people in the carriage heard the response, and as if they realized that their previous noise was effective, they shouted even louder.

There was silence on the radio for a few seconds, as if some kind of decision had finally been made.

"I'm sorry, our train didn't miss the station on purpose, but..."

The conductor paused and said in a slow voice: "We can't stop."

The car was silent for a second.

The conductor said, "Since leaving Xingmang Station and passing that section of gravel track for the first time, the train has been speeding up. Now it has reached a speed of over 400 kilometers per hour."

Xingmang Station is the station where players get on the bus when they first enter the game.

Shi Yu remembered that when the train first left the station, it was announced that the normal speed of the train was 140 kilometers per hour, but the current speed was nearly twice as fast as normal.

Such a speed is absolutely impossible for a train to reach during normal operation. Even if the driver intends to increase the speed to the maximum, the braking system may be powerless.

In this case, the sudden acceleration of the train could not have been caused by human intervention, but must have been the work of ghosts.

"…We have tried our best, but the results are still limited. The train is still speeding up. We don't want the train to go off the track due to excessive force before entering the next curved curve, causing a disaster. Therefore, we can only ask all passengers," the conductor explained the strange situation of the train to everyone, his voice suddenly heavier, "to sign a consent form to abandon the luggage, so as to reduce the weight of the vehicle again and pass the next railway curve safely."

As soon as the conductor finished speaking, the whole train went into an uproar.

After the announcement was made through the broadcast, the conductor kept shouting on the intercom asking everyone to appease the crowd and collect public opinions.

Ji Congyang could only temporarily turn off the intercom, and then he heard someone say, "Turn it on."

He was startled and quickly pressed the switch.

The rain outside the window never stopped. Three or four in the afternoon should have been the hottest time for the sun, but at this moment the sky was covered with dark clouds, and it was so gloomy that it seemed as if night was about to fall.

——But logically speaking, at the current speed of this train, it should be able to leave the coverage of the dark clouds soon.

Shi Yu looked for a while, then opened the window again, and raindrops fell on his hands.

He felt the coolness in his palm and was slightly startled.

…This is divine power.

Suddenly, the sky became bright, the lightning disappeared, and then a loud thunder exploded.
