Chapter 006 Distinguished Guests
The massage chair is so comfortable~
Chen Xiao'er sank into the soft sofa, enjoying the delicate massage of her shoulders, spine and back.
The massage chairs here are really comfortable. You can lie your whole body in them. There are at least thirty synaptic buttons that carefully massage each joint.
I wonder what kind of sophisticated structure is inside the sofa, but it's actually provided to passengers for free. The station lounge is great, I want to take the high-speed rail again next time...
"Lin Lang, why don't you try it?" She raised her right hand and waved ~ the massage chairs in front, behind, left and right were still empty.
"No, I'm not used to massages."
Lin Lang sat on his suitcase, looking a little nervous.
"Okay~"
Chen Xiao'er stayed on the warm sofa for a while, and when she looked at the timetable with sleepy eyes, she suddenly woke up.
[14:36 D1788 train starts ticket checking]
She jumped up and a well-dressed receptionist came over.
He bent down, clutching an exquisite pocket watch, and kindly reminded her, "The train leaves in 24 minutes. Do you need me to carry your luggage for you?"
"No, no~" Xiao'er picked up the suitcase, trotted along, and ran into the fast lane with Lin Lang.
She took the crawler elevator and slowly rose up. When she saw the platform clearly, her eyes lit up.
The modern platform is wrapped in ancient-style panels, and large wooden structures create an elegant classical atmosphere like those in old black and white photos.
The walls try not to expose pure white, and large areas are painted with high-grade gray tones, which relaxes the eyes while highlighting the shiny metal signs.
The mahogany floor is strong and non-slip. Sandals feel great on it, and the wheels of the suitcases make a playful and pleasant beeping sound when rolling on it.
Chen Xiao'er ran towards the brass carriage parked at the platform, and couldn't help but look back down as she took a step.
The long elevator is like a pair of artistic scissors, splitting the platform, ticket gate and waiting hall into three staggered modules. From here, you can look back and see all the way to the end of the porch.
If Sister Lan wanted to see me off, she would definitely be standing there now - and sure enough, there was no familiar figure in the crowd.
Chen Xiao'er's expression relaxed.
That's right. Sister Lan's affairs haven't been dealt with yet, and I didn't say I was leaving now. How could she appear here?
She glanced briefly at the crowd below: there were office workers coming and going, young couples with travel bags, and some students and elderly people.
There really is someone as conspicuous as Sister Lan...
Standing near the porch was a handsome, unshaven man wearing a cowboy hat and boots studded with two rows of fashionable metal studs. His exposed chest revealed muscles covered with tattoos, and he exuded a decadent yet sharp and contradictory aura.
More importantly, his hair is pink, the same shade of pink as his new classmates!
Chen Xiao'er curled the corners of her lips, then came back to her senses and said to Lin Lang with a smile, "Your family is here to see you off, right?"
"ah?!"
Lin Lang's pupils trembled, and he hurriedly turned around to look. If Dad came here in person to catch the traitor, he would peel off a layer of skin!
Fortunately, she looked left and right but couldn't see her father. Instead, there were several sneaky greenhorns walking around among the guests.
I don’t know which organization is so ostentatious. Aren’t they afraid that all these newcomers will be eaten up by the station?
She breathed a sigh of relief and waved at Chen Xiao'er, "Don't scare me. My family really isn't here. Uh, if you see anyone suspicious, don't forget to alert me."
"Haha, okay." Chen Xiao'er smiled knowingly and turned around with the suitcase.
While they were talking, the pink-haired man disappeared into the crowd. Since I don't want my daughter to find out, I'd better not say anything.
She deliberately quickened her pace, muttering to herself along the yellow line. "Car 7... Car 7 is over there!"
…
Li Ming hid behind the newspaper and wiped his sweat repeatedly. He was nominally a member of the mercenary group and was now carrying out an assassination mission.
But in fact, he is just a non-staff member, purely for logistics.
If this mission wasn't so special and time-sensitive, a guy without superpowers like him wouldn't have been able to take the lead. Fortunately, the ones actually taking action were all elite members, so he was only responsible for keeping watch.
The station is an abnormal area where life and death are determined by fate, and several people disappear every day. It is an ideal place for action - now the question is, what is the "special superpower that ignores abnormalities"?
According to the brief report provided by the client, the assassination target ignores most anomalies. Any assassination method involving "strange objects", "weird", "weird", "superpowers", or "divine magic" may be directly ineffective.
After a short discussion, the Mad Wolf Mercenary Group decided to send out an elite team of super-powered people: it was not because they did not believe the client's information, but simply because only those with super-powers would receive more resources and develop considerable assassination capabilities.
If the superpower doesn’t work, then it doesn’t work. You can even strangle me to death with a rope.
The most direct reason why a logistician like Li Ming was involved in this mission was that the customer pushed him too hard.
He had just confirmed the order when his target arrived at the station, leaving only a few hours of travel time. Everyone was so exhausted from chasing him that there was no time to break down the tasks, so they had to assign whoever was available.
Think about it from another perspective. Since the target can ignore abnormalities and make the carried items ineffective, the gap between the logistics team and the elite team will be narrowed.
Li Ming couldn't help but have wild thoughts: An 18-year-old girl who had learned a few fancy moves in school and didn't have any offensive superpowers could be killed by me easily.
[Passengers on D1788, please note: Train D1788 has arrived. Please bring your luggage and queue for ticket inspection.]
The broadcast sounded sarcastic, "Ticket inspectors have the right to deal with passengers who evade fares. Second- and third-class passengers, please do not sit in the wrong seats. No arrears in train payments are allowed. I wish you a pleasant time, haha."
Li Ming put away the tissue and carefully blended into the strange "crowd" around him.
When his arm accidentally touched the little giant's rocky shoulder, the delusion just now was immediately squeezed out of his mind by various pressures.
This damn mercenary group didn’t even give me any protective items when I was on a mission in such a dangerous place!
People like us who have no abilities are just pure cannon fodder!
He squeezed through the crowd towards the ticket station, his forehead covered in sweat.
It would be enough if half of the guys bustling around here and there have taken human form. Big stations like Changhe Station have all kinds of weird things from all over the world.
Li Ming stood on tiptoe and moved forward as if dancing in Swan Lake, for fear of stepping on some abnormal creature with an automatic defense mechanism.
He glanced diagonally ahead and saw that the target person was taking the VIP fast lane, and the "train attendants" bowed and talked to him as if they saw some important person.
Even the security guards, dressed in dangerous clothes, were walking around them, as if they were afraid of getting in their way...
Mmm.
Is the superpower she possesses really [Abnormality Neutralization], rather than [Abnormality Control]?
Li Ming quickly walked into the ticket checking queue and watched the target person walk into the carriage while waiting in line.
The glasses on his face had a certain degree of magnification and telescopic function, and he could tell that the woman next to the target was a martial artist.
The man's suitcase was produced in Borderlands, with the craftsmanship style of Human Soul Front, and most of it contained sniper rifles and heavy weapons.
Being able to carry such a box single-handed, the pink-haired girl was most likely a mutant, a person with physical abilities, or both. She was most likely the target's hired bodyguard.
Carriage No. 7...The target person bought a first-class ticket.
Li Ming licked his chin nervously. "That's good. I have a second-class ticket. Ordinary people can't move between different levels of carriages. Otherwise, I'll just pay the penalty and slip away."
Tap tap tap.
While he was hesitating, a somewhat exaggerated sound of high heels tapping came from far away.
A girl with bright red lips stepped onto the elevator and headed straight for Car 7. She was wearing a tight red dress that was easy to move in, and a standard artificial defensive artifact hung on her chest.
Li Ming immediately recognized the woman's identity: an elite lone ranger in the mercenary group, a person with super powers codenamed Poison Spider!
This girl is extremely good at mixing and administering poisons. Even without superpowers or magical items, chemical reagents alone are enough to poison the target two or three times.
Great! With her here, this mission will most likely be successful.
Just follow along and get some attendance allowance——
Pasha.
A heavy palm pressed down on him, causing him to stagger.
Li Ming grabbed the opponent's wrist with his backhand and tried to throw him over his shoulder, but he failed to move it after two attempts.
"Want to die? Get lost."
The man's rough voice startled him. What, what was this voice...
"Sir?" Li Ming cried as he loosened his grip, his claws resting uncomfortably. He remembered that the "female bodyguard" also had bright pink hair.
What the hell happened to me that I took on such a terrible task!
He wanted to slap himself in the face right then and there.
The pink-haired man didn't care about Li Ming's sad face, he was just giving a kind reminder.
After all, we are all fellow countrymen from the No Man's Land, and the number of pure-blooded humans dying now is one less.
The man stared at the poisonous spider's back, his eyes gradually narrowing.
He seemed to be staring at the woman's smooth back, but his eyes were at least half a person's distance away from the beautiful figure.
Oh, something extraordinary got on the bus.
Beep-beep-beep-
The detection device imprinted on the chest produced a strange oscillation in a short period of time, with the value rising and falling sharply from 300, like the ups and downs of mountains.
