Chapter 007 Assassination
Carriage No. 7 is extremely spacious. Each seat is only connected to the left and right, and the distance between the front and the back is far enough, enough to put the chair down and lie flat on it to sleep.
So the cabinets for luggage are not above your head, but on both sides within easy reach.
The conductor, dressed in gorgeous clothes, smiled as he silently took the suitcase and gently placed it in a double-layer locked cabinet.
“Huh~”
Chen Xiao'er lay comfortably on the sofa, with her hands placed flat on the depressions of the armrests. The texture of the high-end leather was super good, and it felt rusty to the touch.
She looked around and found that there were no passengers sitting in rows 5, 7 and aisle 6.
However, the population density of Red Star is indeed much lower than that of Blue Star. Since elementary school, there have never been more than 20 people in a class.
Changhe City is considered a first-tier city in this world, with an area of 6,000 square kilometers but a permanent population of only 600,000.
Perhaps most people don't like traveling. As for first-class seats, is it possible that they were chosen by luck? Tickets are not named when buying them, and they are randomly issued just like drawing cards in a game. Picking an SSR ticket is a small probability event.
Just in case, Xiao'er took out her phone and searched [ticket price] and [is a first-class ticket really 1 yuan], and was relieved to find that no one on the Internet had complained about [first-class ticket price fraud].
The Red Star network is not easy to use, and the web page templates are similar to the old versions of Blue Star from the 90s and 00s.
Because online video buffering is extremely slow and there are not even popular video sites, it’s better to just read a magazine.
Where are the magazines?
Chen Xiao'e looked around and suddenly noticed a golden pull ring stuck diagonally above her. She stood up, grabbed the ring, and pulled it down, pulling out a folding table.
This small table is exquisite in style, reminiscent of the coffee table in a lady's house in old movies. It is suitable for placing a cake or two plates of macarons for a tea party.
The edge of the table was inlaid with many small jagged decorations. She tried pressing them, and the small decorations retracted with a click.
"Ah!" The classmates seemed startled by her movement.
A strange expression appeared on Lin Lang's face, his buttocks shrank back instantly, and his legs and knees were tense, as if he was about to jump at any time.
"Sorry, I didn't expect it to make a sound~" Chen Xiao'er blinked apologetically and pulled the curtains: "Let's take a look at the scenery. I've never been out of Changhe City before, I don't know what's going on outside-"
"Don't open it! You can't open the window while the train is running!"
"Don't open it! The abnormal scene during the tunnel will corrode your eyes!"
Lin Lang rushed forward and pressed the car curtain, his wrist trembling slightly.
Chen Xiao'er quickly let go of her hand. She looked at her classmate, whose face was covered in sweat, and asked doubtfully, "I didn't open the window, I just pulled the curtains. Should that be okay?"
I clearly explained the reason, but she didn't seem to hear it... Could it be a side effect of her super powers?
Lin Lang thought for a moment and said seriously, "The curtains can't be drawn either. I get carsick and would vomit if I saw trees moving outside."
"The curtains can't be drawn either. Passing through the tunnel triggers hallucinations that affect both senses and reason."
"Car sickness... uh, do I feel dizzy when looking out the window?" Chen Xiao'er was very confused, and her eyes narrowed slightly like a little hamster.
Isn't motion sickness caused by balance? High-speed trains are very stable. As for the gasoline smell, it's so clean here that I can't smell it.
Carsick? Sure enough, what I said was different from what she heard.
Lin Lang began to think about the cause of the problem: Although some strange objects can also cause mental damage and achieve similar effects, Xiao'er's situation is more like a side effect of superpowers.
Fortunately, I should be able to hear what she said normally, so I can recognize the difference.
She was just about to change the way she phrased it and have an in-depth discussion with this classmate, but a ball of flesh suddenly squirmed out from the fleshy inner wall of the carriage, and from that ball of flesh came out a few things that looked like eyeballs.
No matter how you look at it, that thing looks like an eyeball, with a complete eye structure, and you can even see the protruding iris and nerves.
A delicate tentacle wrapped the eyeballs and handed them to Chen Xiao'er. The eyeballs quickly became inactive during the delivery process, transforming from sticky flesh balls into hard glass.
Or candy.
When Chen Xiao'er caught the "eyeball", she pinched her fingers where the pupil was originally, and there was no trace of blood or suspicious sticky substance.
She raised her head and spoke to the strange tentacle in a very gentle tone.
“Are there any extra charges for snacks? …Okay…thank you, thank you!”
Lin Lang's toes moved a few centimeters into the corridor, but his body remained firmly beside his classmates, trying to observe some signs of madness.
However, Chen Xiao'er's expression was very natural, even more naive than the most optimistic group of people in No Man's Land.
She put the eyeball to her mouth and bit it off.
Click.
The "eyeball" peeled off, revealing crumbs like hard candy, and the girl's purple pupils flashed excitedly, revealing a bright expression that could only be seen in advertisements.
Lin Lang stared at the smile in astonishment.
Her mother had a hobby of collecting advertising posters and novels, a hobby that was a luxury in the Borderland.
Advertising posters always use well-designed compositions and lively characters to highlight the bright products in the center of the picture.
Novels also like to use exaggerated descriptions, such as "So-and-so saw through so-and-so's clear mind through her glass-like eyes." and "Her sky-blue eyes were as innocent as a baby's, and her blooming smile was filled with pure longing."
Lin Lang once thought that such descriptions were purely artistic processing:
Even children aged three or four know that they must not open their eyes after turning off the lights when going to bed at night, otherwise they will see their "friends" crawling out from under the bed. How can they have a relaxed smile?
...Now I finally see it.
The instant happiness she felt when she bit into the candy was more beautiful than any amount of heavy makeup.
Very dazzling.
But it's also very touching.
"Lin Lang."
A lustrous ball was brought to the girl's lips, and her purple irises shone brightly. "Try it! This one is orange flavored, super delicious!"
Gurgle.
Lin Lang unconsciously licked the candy and swallowed it. The refreshing fruity flavor filled her mouth, but before she could remember what an orange was, her throat suddenly twitched.
“Cough cough cough cough! Cough cough cough!” This thing was originally an eyeball, or a ball of flesh delivered by a weird tentacle! !
She covered her neck and coughed hard, but unfortunately the candy had already rolled into her stomach, and no matter how she coughed, she could only smell the sweet fruity fragrance.
"Did you choke?! I'm sorry! Y-you turn your back first."
Chen Xiao'er twisted her body over with force, hugged her abdomen with both arms and began to thrust upwards quickly and rhythmically.
"Are you feeling better?"
“Ahem!”
"I'll try harder, hey - is it better?"
"Cough cough cough cough cough!"
…
The target dares to eat from the car? Great! I tampered with the food truck.
Poison Spider's eyes lit up. She was sitting in row 9C, the last row in carriage 7.
I was lucky, I was alone in a single seat. But not so lucky, I was a little far away from the target person, and I was not sure I could get around the bodyguard and assassinate him with a blowgun without using super powers.
Originally, her superpower [Long-range Calibration] was very suitable for killing ordinary people, and combined with her talent in poison, she was invincible in assassination.
Unfortunately, this little guy's superpower is a bit overbearing. After taking his seat, Poison Spider found that his eyes and fingers had lost the extraordinary precision blessed by his superpower.
However, it will take at least three hours to pass through the tunnel from Changhe City to United City. Since this little guy dares to eat and drink on the train, there are plenty of opportunities to take action.
As a key chess piece in this operation, Poison Spider obtained more complete intelligence.
Given her intelligence, she could easily guess that the target's mental state was problematic and he might not notice some hidden dangers, such as poisoning the unmanned food truck.
It doesn't matter if she doesn't eat the food on the dining car. I can take the opportunity of going to the bathroom to throw poison directly next to her seat.
Poison Spider snapped his nails and pulled a perfume bottle from his bag.
The bottle contained a very suitable poison that would cause a strong suffocation sensation to anyone who inhaled too much or took it directly.
It is almost useless against people with physical abilities, and has little effect on physically strong believers and mutants.
Fortunately, the target person is an ordinary person, so it is easy to suffocate him to death and obtain an intact body.
Poison Spider took out a makeup mirror and used a makeup brush to outline her eyebrows and eyes while observing the situation in the sixth row.
I don't know what those two little ghosts were doing just now, they were coughing like crazy. It would have been a good opportunity to attack, but unfortunately there was a monster nearby, so I couldn't do it.
Rustle, rustle.
The unmanned dining car started from the rear of the vehicle and slowly moved towards the front seats.
The corners of the poisonous spider's mouth rose slightly.
Good, the food truck stopped at row six, and the target person took a bottle of murky liquid and a portion of grilled sausage from it.
To ensure success, I sprinkled the poison directly on the food truck.
She glanced over from time to time: the target held the coffee-colored turbid liquid, took a sip like drinking milk tea, and then chatted with the bodyguard for a while.
The two little guys were chatting happily, how come they didn’t get poisoned?
The poisonous spider stared at Chen Xiao'er's rosy cheeks and slowly bit its lips.
Haha, who calls this superpower "Ignore Abnormalities"? I'm using a synthetic toxin!
Either the production process cannot be contaminated with even the slightest abnormality, otherwise her superpowers will be triggered, or... the logic and effect of triggering her superpowers are completely inconsistent with the report.
The poisonous spider hesitated for a moment, then decided to continue with the mission. He would try poison again, and if that didn't work, he would kill the enemy at close range.
Even a lone ranger needs to rely on organization to survive.
The current target is merely a troublesome individual with superpowers, and their individual abilities are likely unremarkable. If you're letting even such a target go so easily, then you shouldn't even be on this mission.
She twisted the eyebrow pencil hard and a needle popped out from the tip.
The poisonous spider gently pushed the antidote against her neck and injected it with a click. Then she sprinkled a large amount of "perfume" on herself and stood up gracefully.
She walked towards the carriage connection in her high heels, turning on the intercom, ready to call for help from other carriages at any time:
They didn't have to break into car seven; she would rush out once the target person was confirmed dead. After the superpowered person died, their powers naturally dissipated, and everyone could use their special artifacts to leave the train.
No matter how strong the target person's bodyguard is, he cannot use super powers when he is next to the target.
My fighting skills are pretty good, so I can beat a kid of this age.
The poisonous spider confidently lifted the ends of its hair.
Ta-da, ta-da.
Three meters, two meters, one meter - now!
"Ouch..."
She covered her ankles and squatted quickly, and her long hair, which was sprinkled with perfume, swung towards the stunned Chen Xiao'er in an instant.
