Xiao Pai took on the role of host.

"We've all heard about what's going on here. Some things are hidden among us."

As for who it is, we don't know right now.

Since that's the case, why don't we talk about ourselves and see if we can find any clues? It might also help us shake off some sleepiness.

The man who had just been distributing the food spoke up.

"Let me go first. My name is Ling Zhi. I'm a backpacker. I don't have a job and I usually travel around on a budget."

I was on this train heading to City B. Everything was normal before I boarded, but after I got on... it became like this.

"Next... let's go clockwise. Beautiful lady, please introduce yourself."

The girl, dressed in a black mini-skirt and white jacket, seemed a little reserved.

"My name is Liu Wei, I am a college student, and I am taking this train to go back to my hometown."

"What about your major?"

Jin Shu suddenly asked a question.

Liu Wei paused for a moment, then answered.

"archeology."

Jin Shu nodded, and Xiao Paibian continued.

"Next person, please introduce yourself."

The next one was the pregnant woman with a very large belly. Her belly was bulging, and even when she sat down, you could tell that she was breathing heavily. She gently stroked her belly with her hand, and when she spoke, her face was pale and her voice was weak.

"Everyone here calls me Sister Zhao. I'm over eight months pregnant right now. I came to the city to be hospitalized for delivery, but then this happened..."

My husband was killed by those things that very night, and I... I can't take it anymore..."

The woman covered her mouth and cried in pain. Liu Wei, who was standing nearby, stepped forward and gently patted her shoulder, offering silent comfort with red eyes.

Next up were students wearing school uniforms like Chen Tan. They were all from the same school and class, so there wasn't much to introduce them to.

The next three were all students.

Aside from Chen Tan and the child in his arms, there were two other people left: a migrant worker couple. They were rather taciturn, and after briefly introducing themselves, they lowered their heads and remained silent.

"Now, shouldn't you all introduce yourselves?"

The backpacker opposite them was clearly still very wary of Jin Shu and her group.

Xiao Pai didn't mind at all and patiently repeated everything that his group had experienced.

"Alright, now everyone has introduced themselves. What's next?"

It's still early in the night, we can't all just sit here staring at each other, can we?

Xiao Pai hesitated for a moment, then looked at Jin Shu.

"Sis, what's next?"

"I think it would be better if I could introduce myself properly. My name is Jin Shu, a student at No. 1 Middle School in the city. I have excellent grades and quick thinking. My best skills are reasoning and character profiling."

I've memorized all your self-introductions. What you all said seemed fine, but if this continues, we really won't find the real monster.

Therefore, I suggest that each of you sit down and talk to me individually. I believe that with my reasoning abilities, I can definitely deduce who the real non-human is.”

After Jin Shu finished speaking, the entire room fell silent.

Small ribs: ...

Sister, do you really have anything to do with the phrase "excellent grades"?

If he remembered correctly, Jin Shu's score was actually lower than his in this class's weekly test, right?

Le Xin almost burst out laughing.

The first two carriages really made her the center of attention. Now she seems to have completely forgotten her past ordinariness and is truly treating herself as an all-powerful superwoman.

She felt a chill in her heart, but remained outwardly calm.

Le Xin wanted to see if Jin Shu could actually find the monster.

But based on my understanding of this section of the train, the monster hidden inside is not the same as those useless guys in the first two sections.

She died in this very carriage.

Who is the real monster again?

The people in front of me seem to have changed somewhat, but one of the monsters seems to be the same.

She didn't find all the monsters at first; she only saw one of them just before she was killed.

And that monster was right there in the middle of it.

Having died once, Lexin decided to try a different approach to overcome the challenges.

In her mind, the big boss in this section of the carriage seemed to be an invincible being. Since he couldn't be defeated, she might as well use softness to overcome hardness.

Now that I know who the most powerful boss is, I should naturally seize this advantage.

The pale-faced boy next to me kept his head down and wore headphones the whole time. When he introduced himself, he simply took off his headphones and said something indifferently.

"My name is Yan Lu, and I am a student at Experimental Middle School."

Because he was surrounded by students, no one suspected him.

Xiao Pai was still talking to Jin Shu, and Le Xin could hear it.

"My main suspects are that backpacker and that pregnant woman. What kind of kind person would take a pregnant woman to the hospital on this kind of train? Aren't they afraid of the bumpy ride and premature birth? What do you think, Sister Jin?"

"I think you're right."

Xiao Pai immediately perked up and continued his analysis.

"So when the time comes, I'll go in with you, and we'll question everyone one by one, okay?"

Jin Shu raised an eyebrow.

Are you sure?

"Of course, as a man, I can protect you from the sidelines."

Jin Shu looked completely indifferent.

"what ever."

The first person to go in was the backpacker Lexus.

Jin Shu chose a private room with two beds facing each other, and Ling Zhi sat opposite Jin Shu.

"Ask whatever you want to ask."

Just as Xiao Pai was about to speak, Jin Shu slapped him aside.

"Brother Ling, I just have two simple questions for you."

"Go ahead and ask."

"I'm also interested in backpacking. I'd like to ask which of the more popular hiking destinations around our province is your favorite?"

Ling Zhi thought for a moment.

"Stargazing Base is a popular spot for backpackers. It's mostly open plains and is perfect for hiking."

Jin Shu nodded and asked with a smile.

"Where exactly is the Starry Sky Base located? I'm also interested in backpacking, and if I have the chance to go out, I'd like to visit it."

"It's in the Starry Sky Town, which is located in S City of our province. If you're interested, I can take you there."

Jin Shu nodded.

"Thank you, Brother Ling. I've asked all my questions. Please let the next person in."

Ling Zhi got up, but instead of rushing out, he turned around and asked.

"What's the point of asking these questions? Do you really know the tourist destinations that backpackers like? Or do you know what I'm talking about?"

What if I'm lying and making things up to deceive you?

"Young lady, you'd better be careful."

Jin Shu smiled at him.

"I understand human nature."
