"Your Excellency means... if I force myself out now, they might find out that their plan to charm me has failed and confront me head-on?"
"Yes, if my guess is correct, the entire first-class carriage is now in a deep sleep, and a direct conflict with you here will not cause a commotion."
A new word appeared in front of Gregor, and after seeing it, Gregor was deeply concerned. He was in the car behind him. What if the other party came directly to him in the aisle? The current rank and strength of the other party were unknown. Could he really win in a head-on confrontation?
Gregor was thinking, and new characters kept appearing before his eyes.
"Mr. Hunter, the other party doesn't know that you can act while asleep. This is an opportunity for you, an opportunity to counterattack the other party, to find out their intentions, to see through their background, and even to turn passivity into action. Don't you want to make good use of this opportunity?
"Of course, the above is just my personal suggestion. This is your body. I will listen to your decision on what to do. If Mr. Hunter still decides to move to another carriage to protect himself, then I will execute it immediately."
Gregor was stunned as he watched the new word "㫧" appear before his eyes. He suddenly decided that this Akha believer, whom he had never met before, had a point, and the little fox on the other side also said the same thing.
"Hey, Black Dog, I think that guy is more thoughtful than you are. You don't have a very good brain, so just listen to him."
"What do you mean by not having a good brain..."
Gregor was a little angry after listening to the little fox's words, but after thinking about it, he felt that what the other party said was more reasonable.
"Yes, I did think of hiding from them when they were plotting against me, but that's too unspirited. I'll just hide from them and fight them!"
Gregor thought so in his mind, and then he said in the posture of a black dog, pointing at the letter in front of him.
"Your Excellency is right. Now is not the time to escape. I also think that we may need to face those guys head-on."
Greg said this, and Dorothy in Tivian couldn't help but smile slightly as she listened to his words.
…
In the southwest of the island of the Kingdom of Plit, under the dark night sky, the steel train continued to run fast across the fields.
Late at night, in the aisle of the first-class carriage, at the end of the carpeted corridor, a conductor in uniform was sitting here, and at this moment he was in a state of half-asleep and half-awake, with a dazed look in his eyes, yawning, and it seemed that he might fall asleep at any time.
At this moment, he suddenly felt someone patting his shoulder. After a moment of shock, he turned around and saw another young conductor standing next to him. He was holding a suitcase in his hand and looking at him with a smile.
"You look sleepy, go to sleep, it's my turn to be on duty next..."
"Ahhh... it's you. You came just in time. I can't hold it any longer. I'll give it to you next."
The conductor stretched and yawned, then stood up and left. The conductor carrying the suitcase looked around after seeing him off. His expression became solemn, and he walked silently to the door of a compartment and began to knock on it, but there was no response.
"The drug has taken effect... No one in the first-class carriage is awake now..."
The young conductor thought so in his heart, and at the same time, a slight smile appeared on his lips. Then he strode to the door of a compartment with his suitcase and knocked on the door again, but still got no response.
"Guest... Guest... Guest in the private room, please open the door!"
The young conductor continued to knock on the door, this time a little harder, and shouted at the same time, but still got no response. Seeing this, the conductor breathed a sigh of relief, a slight smile appeared on his lips, then he took out a key from his pocket and opened the door of the compartment in front of him.
After entering the compartment, the conductor quickly closed the door behind him, and then looked at the scene in the compartment. What he saw was a man leaning against the sofa. He was wearing a vest and shirt with his coat on his body, sleeping soundly. It was Greg.
Seeing Greg sleeping soundly, the conductor's smile became more obvious.
"Gregos Meschos... I spent a lot of effort to eliminate you without making a sound. If I just let you die, everything would be much simpler..."
Looking at the sleeping Greg, the conductor thought to himself that in order to get rid of Greg without causing any noise, and to let Greg die quietly without any resistance, they chose to drug all the dinners in the first-class dining car. Such a painstaking move was just to make Greg fall into a deep sleep and then get rid of him quietly.
The purpose of going to so much trouble to knock him out and then kill him was to leave Greg with no chance to resist. His mission required that Greg's death should not cause the slightest commotion, and it was safest to knock him out with powerful drugs and then kill him.
Looking at Gregor who was sleeping soundly due to the drugs, the young conductor put down the suitcase in his hand, then walked to a position close to Gregor, then took out a dagger from his clothes, but he did not rush to do it. Instead, he stared at Gregor's sleeping face, looking carefully from all angles. After looking for a long time, he also closed his eyes. Then his face began to wriggle, as if there were some bugs crawling under the skin, and the whole face began to become unstable.
After a series of changes, the conductor's face began to stabilize again, and in the end his face was no longer the same as before, but became Gregor's face, exactly the same face as Gregor.
This is Yi Xing Appearance Change, an ability that belongs to the black-level extraordinary person, Shadow Man.
"So... from today on, I am Gregos Meshhos, the Hunter from Tentivian of Igwinter..."
Facing Gregor's face, the conductor whispered in Gregor's voice, then he clenched the dagger in his hand, ready to stab Gregor on the sofa, but... someone was one step faster than him.
Before he could make a move, the sleeping eyes suddenly opened, and the hand hidden under the coat stretched out suddenly. Under the coat was an opened bottle of ink. With the sudden splashing of the hand, large amounts of black ink spilled out of the bottle and splashed on the conductor's face.
"What……"
Seeing this, the conductor, under the reaction of the black-level "Shadow", immediately put his hands back to his face, blocking the spilled ink from splashing into his eyes, and this action also obscured his own vision.
Seizing this opportunity, "Greg" suddenly jumped up from the sofa, approached the conductor at a high speed with a cold look, and took advantage of the conductor's limited vision to kick him in the crotch. The conductor, who was hit in the crotch, screamed in pain and was kicked back two steps and hit his back against the wall. "Greg", who had taken the initiative, rushed forward without giving him a break.
He stretched out a hand and firmly grasped the conductor's wrist holding the dagger. The conductor, who was in severe pain, wanted to break free, but the force holding his wrist was so strong that he could not completely get rid of it for a while with his apprentice-level "cup".
Relying on the unexpected move to clamp the conductor's weapon-holding hand, "Greg" clenched his fist, and then hit the conductor in the face mercilessly. The conductor wanted to dodge, but this kind of attack was not easy to dodge for the reaction and speed of the black-level "Shadow", but the space in the box was too small, and the opponent also clamped his hand, restricting his movement. The conductor, who was still in great pain from the critical hit in the crotch, was caught off guard and failed to dodge.
Then, "Greg"'s fist smashed hard into a face that looked exactly like his own, deforming the face.
At this moment, in her bedroom in the distant town of Tivian Green, Dorothy, dressed in pajamas, couldn't help but smile.
"Haha... So this is what it feels like to beat up my brother... It's a rare experience..."
