Chapter 313 Leng Mian
The all-glass observation car was silent, and the door closed automatically behind Leng Mian.
In this silence, You Xi's trembling voice sounded: "Is it... Leng Mian?"
The other party spoke, the voice was gentle, but the gentleness was accompanied by a helpless smile: "It's been too long since we last met, have you forgotten what I look like?"
"Is it really you? How did you find me?" You Xi seemed to be completely shocked, took two steps forward, and then took a few steps back, "Wait, this is a mission world, how did you get in? It's very dangerous here!"
"Don't worry, I know it's very dangerous here, I'll take you out of the car first!" Leng Mian said, turning around and preparing to open the door again.
"Get off the train?" You Xi seemed a little surprised, and quickly said, "But I haven't gotten the last piece of the Easter egg yet."
"The brilliance in the dark, right?" Leng Mian turned around and saw her looking at him in surprise, and smiled again, "I'm here to take you to get the last piece of the Easter egg. Time is running out now - the countdown for the Easter egg fragments is actually a cover... Anyway, I'll explain it to you in detail when it's safe!"
"Okay!" You Xi responded straightforwardly.
The train door was opened, and Leng Mian turned around again and stretched out his hand to You Xi: "I'll take you away -" Before the last word was finished, a scorching high temperature hit his face.
This is the 5th level of extreme high temperature, even steel can be melted in an instant.
"Xiaoxi, why are you--" A cold and painful cry came out from the flames. She wanted to continue to say something to express her sadness and confusion about the attack.
But the next moment, she found that the person who was standing not far away with a shocked face had rushed to another train door without knowing when, and she was quickly unlocking the door with her bracelet.
Youxi's brows were stern and her eyes were full of vigilance. When she opened her mouth, another series of air bombs were fired.
The air bombs exploded on the person surrounded by flames, and it seemed to explode several parts of the other person's skin, but it only hurt her skin a little. Such a high-temperature flame, a flame that can melt steel, couldn't even make her skin charred, let alone melt it.
Looking at this scene, You Xi felt her scalp tingling, and a huge and terrible sense of crisis rose up. This was an unprecedented sense of oppression.
The person standing at the other end of the carriage at this moment seemed to have released some kind of restriction and existed with a power that was completely incompatible with this world, like an indescribably huge mountain standing in front of her.
The surrounding carriages seemed to have reacted to this incompatible power. The glass that could originally see the night view, the night sky, and the Milky Way was now flickering like a short circuit. The scenery on it was clearly extinguished, as if in this way it was rejecting this incompatible and non-existent power.
"Oh." The other party looked at You Xi's vigilance and cold eyes, and suddenly put away the pain and sadness in his voice.
She tilted her head, and the train door that she had just opened closed again. The door lock made a slight click, and the carriage returned to a closed space.
On You Xi's side, no matter which carriage number she entered or how many times she swiped her wristband, the carriage door did not move. Obviously, the door was tampered with by the other party, and she was trapped.
You Xi sighed softly, stopped her actions and stopped doing useless work.
"You found out again." The other party's tone was helpless, and he didn't care about You Xi's attack and attempts to escape at all, as if he was convinced that all her actions were in vain, "How did you find out?"
"Your acting is so bad, only a fool wouldn't find out." You Xi had a blank expression.
Let's not talk about the sudden appearance of the other party. How bizarre is this young, fair and tender face that is no different from the past, and this tearful and strong smile.
Logically speaking, if Leng Mian is so powerful that he can personally airdrop the golden train, know her Easter egg fragments, and even directly skip the mission and say he wants to take her off the train, then why didn't Leng Mian show up when she encountered so many dangers before?
In the final analysis, whether in the past or now, Leng Mian's help to her has always been circuitous, and he has spent all kinds of thoughts to arrange the delivery. She and her little friend walked step by step, and now there is only one last step left to finally escape from this endless train world.
The other party suddenly showed up at such a critical moment. Was he here to help her or to stop her?
Xiyuan said that Leng Mian had told her personally that she could not enter the mission world in person, because as long as she entered, she would be immediately detected by the system tower.
This was also one of the reasons why she suddenly cut off the video call with Xiyuan, because Xiyuan knew this better than her, and she was afraid that he would blurt out a reminder to her, which would alarm her, so she deliberately hung up the video.
She believed that Xiyuan had never lied to her, so no matter what Leng Mian in front of her was, she must be fake!
Since she was fake, she must be an enemy.
Thinking more deeply, there is still a tasker belonging to the system tower's camp on this golden train.
Therefore, this abrupt cut-off of the video was also a hint. When Xiyuan dialed back the video and found that she had turned off the "life aid", he would definitely inform others. He knew where she was and would bring everyone over as soon as possible.
"Mengsha, you don't know Leng Mian at all." Youxi said lightly, revealing the other party's identity.
It was obviously a plain sentence, but somehow, the face of the person standing at the other end of the carriage suddenly became gloomy. The other party still had the face of Leng Mian's student when he was young, but his expression was gloomy and a little scary.
Youxi even felt hatred in the other party's eyes.
Hate?
What, is the other party jealous of Leng Mian as a fellow missionary?
"Don't act like you know her very well!" The other person stared at her with cold eyes, "How long have you been with her? It's just a brief encounter in the mission world. How many years can it be? Don't think you know her! I'm the one who has been with her for hundreds of years!"
Youxi:...? ?
**
Youxi thought that the other person would say something related to the mission and the system tower, but this... what is this talking about?
However, the current situation did not allow Youxi to explore more.
She could clearly feel the other person's murderous intentions towards her. In the several encounters before this, although she knew that Mengsha was not a good person, she always felt that the other person was holding back and wanted to get rid of her in other ways, or to trap her.
To put it bluntly, the purpose was not to let her leave the endless train world.
So now that the other party appeared, he seemed to have released some kind of restriction, with obvious murderous intent. Doesn't this mean that her previous idea was correct, and the Easter egg fragments were in the carriage she guessed!
The opponent knew that once she found it, she could truly escape from this endless train world, so she had to show up to stop her.
Youxi's five senses were fully open, and her whole body was alert to the opponent's actions.
She was not as strong as the opponent now, but she guessed that the opponent could not maintain such strength for too long. The arcs of light that were clearly extinguished on the surrounding carriage glass had gradually turned into electric currents, all projected towards "Leng Mian". Those electric currents made crackling sounds, but before they hit her body, they were blocked by a layer of gray halo.
The opponent did not bear these electric currents head-on like Youxi did before. It seems that these currents are much more difficult than her previous attacks.
After all, every world has rules, and now the rules of the endless train world are rejecting the opponent.
If the other party was clear-headed, he should have attacked immediately, but perhaps her previous words hit her sore spot, making her want to refute more than to kill her.
"... Do you think you are special? You are just a 'variable', as small as a mayfly, you are not worthy at all!"
You Xi:...
"What do you rely on? If I were the one who met her first, she would do the same for me!"
You Xi: ???
"You are right, I originally just wanted to trap you, but it's a pity that you are unwilling to accept your fate and have to fight to the death..." As she spoke, her murderous intent grew stronger. She did not take out any weapons, but just raised her hand, and gray light appeared between her fingers. These lights turned into thin blades that rotated at high speed, rotating around her hand.
This attack method looked very familiar to Youxi, but compared to Xing Min, the opponent's attack at this moment was much more terrifying.
Those rotating thin blades even caused the airflow to roll, and the electric currents in the surrounding carriages suddenly became stronger, from a dozen to hundreds, all heading towards the people in the gray halo.
"Leng Mian" waved his hand, and the high-speed rotating thin blades broke through part of the train's electric current and spun towards Youxi.
Youxi, who had been prepared, activated a crystal bubble. The strong outer layer of the large transparent sphere blocked some of the thin blades that arrived first, and the other thin blades that followed closely collided with it one after another, breaking the defense of the crystal bubble with a puff.
Youxi did not hide in the crystal bubble. She did not think that she could rely on the crystal bubble to resist the attack. She just wanted to use it to block some of the thin blades. While releasing the crystal bubble, she had already jumped up and climbed onto the lights on the top of the car to flexibly avoid the remaining thin blades.
These thin blades seemed to have eyes. They could turn and chase. She relied on the crystal bubble, the seats and tables in the car, and her extremely fast speed to avoid most of the attacks.
Those thin blades that attacked incorrectly quickly pierced into various parts of the car, and turned into gray light and disappeared after a few seconds.
But there were still a few thin blades that brushed her arms, legs and cheeks, leaving wounds.
She completely ignored these wounds, because the next wave of attacks came again. This time, the number of thin blades was not as many as before. The electric current of the train fought against them and blocked some of the attacks.
While dodging flexibly, You Xi saw that the opponent's face was gloomy. She seemed not to want to get entangled anymore and planned to make a quick decision.
You Xi heard the sounds of collision and explosion coming from the door of the train behind her, mixed with the anxious voices of her friends.
Her teammates had already arrived, but they had not been able to break through the door of the carriage. She couldn't even communicate with Xing Min. This door - or the entire carriage was isolated from the outside world by a kind of barrier.
Youxi knew that this was the most critical and dangerous moment. The opponent would increase their offensive due to impatience, and the train would also increase its repulsion due to this mismatched attack.
She didn't know how long she had to hold on, but she believed that as long as the teammates outside were still working hard, they would not lose this battle.
Those teammates were sent in by Leng Mian, and she would not gather everyone in a world where they were bound to lose. She believed in Leng Mian, even though the two of them had never really communicated face to face in these different mission worlds, but she believed in her, and also believed in herself.
On the opposite side, the train currents had broken through the gray light circle and hit "Leng Mian", leaving large and small charred wounds on her body.
She did not strengthen the light shield, but instead poured all her strength into a huge thin blade in her hand.
This thin blade was like a rotating cutting machine, stirring the airflow, gathering strength to make the final blow to her.
The stronger the attack, the greater the train's repulsion to "Leng Mian". Just as she swayed and half-knelt on the ground, preparing to push the huge thin blade towards Youxi, the door of the workshop on the side of the carriage was pushed open.
"Leng Mian" was startled, but it was too late. A huge black weapon chopped down from behind her.
Youxi heard the sound of skin and bones being cut. After the black weapon chopped down, blood spurted out from behind "Leng Mian". At the same time, she pushed out the high-speed rotating thin blade. The thin blade cut through the tables, chairs and miscellaneous furnishings in the carriage with a devastating momentum and hit Youxi in the face.
But someone was faster than the thin blade. The tall figure that suddenly appeared threw a long and sharp black nail after the chop, nailing Leng Mian's legs and hands firmly to the ground, and then moved in an instant and appeared in front of You Xi.
He held the black weapon in his hand tightly and stood it up in front of him. The weapon's shield was instantly activated, wrapping him and You Xi behind him, and also blocking the thin blade that was as scary as a cutting machine.
The thin blade and the shield of the black weapon collided with each other, making a crackling friction sound and striking out a series of sparks.
In the distance, Leng Mian, who was knocked to the ground by the heavy blow, struggled to raise his head, but when he saw the black weapon clearly, he was shocked and stunned - it was a huge black sickle.
The teeth-grinding sound of metal friction lasted for a while, and the thin blade slowly disappeared because the attack was blocked.
The man holding the black weapon spat out a mouthful of blood in the shield, but he quickly wiped the blood from the corner of his lips, stood up and turned around, reaching out to support the wounded You Xi: "Are you okay?" His voice was full of anxiety, and he checked her up and down.
"It's okay, they are all superficial wounds." You Xi shook her head. Although she had many wounds, they only looked scary. In her opinion, the one with the most serious injuries at the moment was "Leng Mian" lying on the ground opposite her.
You Xi glanced at the other person twice, but still couldn't help: "Ron?" This time the other person's appearance changed slightly again. He was still wearing the uniform of a train attendant, and he had obviously become an NPC of this station again.
The man looked at her again, and hummed with a gentle look in his eyes.
That look made Youxi feel a sense of disharmony, but it didn't feel strange, but rather very familiar. Youxi's mind was filled with various questions: "Why did you save me? Have you... awakened your self-awareness? No, even if you have awakened your self-awareness, you couldn't block the attack just now... Shield? Are you also a tasker?"
While You Xi was guessing, "Leng Mian" who was nailed to death in a pool of blood opposite him suddenly laughed. It was a mocking laugh, full of anger and sadness: "... Look, you are so devoted to her and protect her, but she can't even guess who you are... How is she worthy of all you have done - Mian Mian?"
As the last two words came out, You Xi reacted instantly.
She looked at the tall man in front of her in surprise again, but he showed a disgusted expression after hearing the word "Mianmian": "I've said it many times, don't call me that!"
He spun the black sickle in his hand and chopped it out. This air blade formed a visible air blade in the air. The angle of the air blade was very well controlled, and it did not damage the train at all. It directly hit "Leng Mian" who had finally managed to break free with one hand and was holding the ground to break free with the other hand.
The opponent's shoulder was cut off, and blood spurted out again. She spit out a large mouthful of blood and her body fell heavily to the ground again, but she tried to raise her head and looked at "Ron" with a wronged look.
"Ron" looked at "Leng Mian"'s face and frowned. He held the black sickle tightly in his hand and held it upright in front of him again.
"Ron" closed his eyes, and a starlight floated out from his brow and landed on the sickle in front of him. He opened his eyes and said softly: "Break the delusion."
The sickle emitted a dazzling light because of the starlight, and instantly enveloped "Leng Mian" on the opposite side.
A wave of light and shadow twisted, and the appearance of "Leng Mian" on the ground began to change. Soon, the other party revealed the appearance of Mengsha.
"Ron" frowned again, and the sickle in his hand continued to emit light, and Mengsha was enveloped again. This time, when the light faded, Mengsha also disappeared, and the person half-lying there turned into a 17 or 18-year-old boy with a delicate face.
The boy's eyes were filled with gloom, but the look he gave "Ron" was more of unwillingness and grievance: "Mianmian, it hurts..."
"Shut up." "Ron" spoke in a low and cold tone, without a trace of tenderness when talking to Youxi, "Very disgusting."
The boy:...
"..." Youxi inexplicably felt a sense of refreshment, she held Ron's - or rather Lengmian's hand, "He is -" Could it be what she guessed?
