Chapter 616: Capture
In the morning, in front of the Xicheng District Railway Station, countless passengers were bustling in front of the gate of the station building. Many people rushed to the crowded gate, wanting to leave this huge city full of oppression and suffering, and more people were pouring out of the gate, facing the gloomy steel and stone jungle in front of them with expectation or anxiety.
However, these two types of people have nothing to do with Pearson, because he is a clergyman in the Tivian Church, with a stable and well-paid job in Tivian, handling various affairs in the name of the church and consolidating the authority of the church. As a reward, he does not have to worry about his livelihood, and he also has some superhuman powers.
Pearson, wearing a priest's robe and carrying a suitcase, walked through the crowd with several companions dressed similarly, heading towards the station. They needed to take the train to go to a distant place for a work trip, but the congested crowd in front of them slowed down their progress. As the leader, Pearson could not help but frown, calculating in his mind whether he could reach the platform on time in such a congestion.
"Although I've heard that there are a lot of people at the West Station, I didn't expect it to be this crowded." Looking at the flow of passengers coming and going around him, Pearson said to a companion beside him, and the other party nodded in response.
"Yes, I used to come to the West Station often, but I've never seen it so crowded. This time we are just unlucky. Anyway, we have to speed up, otherwise we will miss the train."
"Yeah." After listening to his companion's words, Pearson responded affirmatively, and then he prepared to continue walking towards the station at a fast speed and lead the team.
At this moment, a larger and more turbulent crowd of people came towards them in front of them. Under the impact of the crowd, the congestion and chaos around them suddenly doubled. In this sudden situation, Pearson and his companions did not react in time for a while. Their originally together team was suddenly dispersed, and each of them was swept to different directions by the crowd.
"What...E!?"
Faced with this situation, Pearson became anxious, and then he focused his expression and stood firm in the crowded crowd. He looked left and right, trying to find the whereabouts of his companions in the crowd, but all he saw was a sea of heads. He shouted his companion's name loudly, but his voice was easily drowned out by the noisy chatter around him.
Faced with this situation, Pearson was helpless for a moment. He could only be carried aside by the crowd. When he finally got away from the crowd, he found himself in a corner of the station that he didn't even recognize. None of his companions who had followed him were around.
“It’s troublesome…”
Looking at the scene in front of him, Pearson couldn't help but grab his head and mutter to himself in distress. After that, he looked around trying to find his companions, but when there was no result, he took out a pocket watch from his priest robe, opened it and looked at the time on it, and found that the departure time of the train he was taking was very close.
'You can only get on the train first. Others will also go to the platform separately, and then meet up on the train.'
Pearson thought so in his mind, then he covered the pocket watch in his hand and put it away, then picked up his suitcase and began to find the way to the platform.
However, the process of finding the way was not smooth for Pearson. He was taken to a place he was completely unfamiliar with, and there were no signs around. He could only ask for directions while walking through the station. After a while of searching, Pearson not only did not reach the platform, but somehow came to an empty corridor.
"Not here, I think I went the wrong way..."
Looking at the unfamiliar area at the end of the corridor, Pearson frowned and thought, and after confirming that it was impossible to reach the platform if he continued walking forward, he turned around and returned the same way.
However, at this moment, Pearson saw a tall female figure wearing a veil covering her face coming towards him.
Seeing the tall female figure, Pearson felt a little more cautious in his heart even though he was walking towards her. Just after they passed each other in the corridor, the veiled woman suddenly turned around and stretched out her hand to Pearson who had his back to her.
Pearson, who was already on guard in his heart, turned around immediately when he heard the footsteps behind him disappear. When he saw the woman reaching out her hand to him, he immediately stretched out his hand to grab the other's wrist. But at this moment, above Pearson's head, on the ceiling of the corridor, an illusory shadow floated down and embraced Pearson outside the blind spot of his sight.
Then, Pearson stood still, completely unable to move. His entire body no longer obeyed his commands, and he couldn't even utter a word for a while.
Pearson's body could no longer accept any commands from him, so he just stayed there in the same posture, watching the mysterious woman in front of him put her hand around his neck. Then, he felt a pain in his neck and completely lost consciousness.
After Pearson fell down, a shadow emerged from his body and took the form of a translucent spirit in mid-air. After slight changes, the translucent spirit revealed a hazy female figure.
Afterwards, the female spirit and the veiled woman in front of her looked at each other and nodded silently to each other.
…
Fainting, drowsy, and with his energy scattered, Pearson's consciousness wandered in the darkness for an unknown period of time before he gradually showed signs of waking up.
The pain from his head stung Pearson's nerves, gradually activating his consciousness. After a dazzling and dizzy feeling, Pearson's mind began to re-recognize himself in chaos.
"hiss……"
With a splitting headache, Pearson slowly opened his eyes. After waking up, Pearson was confused at first. He gradually recalled what he had experienced at the station not long ago when he was unconscious, and he was immediately frightened and broke into a cold sweat.
"I was attacked? As a church commissioner, I was attacked?! And now I'm kidnapped. Is this an extraordinary attack on the church!? "
Pearson thought so in his mind in amazement, and then he immediately began to try to stand up, but he almost fell when he moved. After a careful check, he found that his whole body was actually firmly imprisoned, with iron chains wrapped all over, and even his mouth was covered. It was very difficult to speak or move, and the most he could do was to squirm his body with difficulty.
Seeing what happened to him, Pearson's heart suddenly sank, and then he began to observe the situation around him. He found that he was now confined in a small, closed and sealed cell. The entire single cell was dark, with solid walls on three sides and a steel cell door on one side. He was obviously imprisoned inside, and the only light in the cell came from the gap in the steel cell door.
Seeing the surrounding scene, Pearson couldn't help feeling panic in his heart. He wanted to escape, but even breaking free from the shackles on his body was extremely difficult with his strength. Just when Pearson felt desperate because of his fruitless attempt to break free, a voice suddenly came from outside the cell door.
"It seems... you finally got it done?"
"Yeah, that guy's face was a little too ordinary, nothing special. It took me a while to remember it."
Hearing the conversation outside the door, Pearson in the cell couldn't help but be startled, then he quickly stretched his head forward to the edge of the crack of the cell door, and Pearson peeked at the scene outside the cell through the crack, and then he saw two figures, a man and a woman, standing on a corridor outside his cell door.
Pearson still remembered the woman. She was the mysterious woman who attacked him at the train station before. The man was a middle-aged man in his thirties. They were standing together and talking about something.
