Chapter 008 Close Combat
Chen Xiao'er held the cup and took a sip of the straw.
The classmate's complexion looked much better.
There seems to be no such thing as motion sickness when riding the high-speed rail. She probably wasn't motion sick just now, but just a little nervous, right?
She took a sip of the rich chocolate milk tea and picked up a toffee from the coffee table. "Lin Lang, don't you like candy? The ticket says snacks are free."
Lin Lang glanced at the item in her hand with a subtle expression and shook his head: "No, my family is quite strict, and I'm afraid of getting fat."
[“No, don’t eat too much from the anomalous train. I’m afraid it will worsen my body’s abnormality.”]
"Really..." Chen Xiao'er smiled a little awkwardly, peeled off the candy wrapper and stuffed the toffee into her mouth.
The milk flavor is so strong~ Phew, the new classmates I met are still very reserved, let’s continue chatting after we get a little more familiar with each other.
She chewed the candy happily and slowly closed her eyes. The cushion behind her was very soft and she fell into a deep sleep.
Xiao Ai gradually relaxed her body and was about to take a nap when she suddenly smelled a very pungent fragrance.
This smell is like... as if someone with body odor had sprinkled cumin and chili powder under their armpits, and also covered it with a layer of thick perfume!
“Ah, ah…”
She moved her teeth, and a series of small, fluffy bubbles rose in her nostrils.
“Ahhh!!!”
Half of Xiao'er's body was "sprayed" out of the sofa and she almost slipped to the ground.
Lin Lang grabbed her arm and instantly hooked his other hand around her shoulder and pulled her back.
"Stop sniffing! Your nose won't be able to handle it!"
"Hold your breath! That thing is poisonous!"
Tsk, what a troublesome superpower, it’s okay even with such a large amount.
The venomous spider licked his lips. "Even after taking medication, I still feel a dull pain in my kidneys. I didn't expect the target to show much reaction. Even the bodyguards were immune to the special toxin?"
There is no other choice but to take action directly - after this mission is successful, I must ask the client to pay more!
A hint of ruthlessness flashed in her eyes, and the three sharp spikes slid stealthily between her fingertips.
"Xiao Ai, get out of the way!!"
Lin Lang grabbed Chen Xiao'er, put his foot on the chair, and pushed out with his other leg.
Snap! The shoe hit the bridge of my nose, and the sole made a crisp breaking sound.
The poisonous spider's eyes went dark, and he shook his neck and tried to block with his arms, but his left shoulder was hit hard again.
Damn it, the defensive magic item is ineffective, this damn kid is as strong as a ghost!
She gave up fighting and took a step back, shaking her hair.
"Wait a minute, don't fight." Chen Xiao'er was stunned and waved her hands repeatedly.
How could people suddenly start fighting? If they only cause minor injuries, it would be a crime. How can I stop it?
"Heh, impolite brat...yet your moves are quite fast."
[“Hehe, you little mutant… It must be hard for you not to be able to transform into a beast.”] The woman spat out a mouthful of blood, not daring to look away, and slowly backed away.
"Same here, you trouble-making bastards."
"Same here, second-rate assassin." Lin Lang bared her teeth, ready to draw her hidden dagger. She always preferred to use her claws, and the dagger was too hidden.
Xiao'ai leaned out half of her body and wanted to say something tremblingly, but Lin Lang held her back.
Just as they were confronting each other, a thin shadow crawled and grew on the floor, and the poisonous spider and Lin Lang took a step back at the same time.
As the shadow approached, it gradually solidified into a human form and facial features, eventually transforming into a well-dressed train conductor.
He raised his hand and gently pressed it on the injured shoulder of the poisonous spider, and smiled politely: "Dear passengers, please refrain from fighting in the carriage."
Huh~ Chen Xiao'er's legs softened and she sat down relaxedly.
Great, the conductor is here. If they admit their mistakes with a more positive attitude, they should be able to reconcile, right?
The situation was better than she had imagined.
The lady with the smelly hair had no intention of seeking compensation or even an apology from them.
She just looked at the conductor in special uniform with a terrifying look, then walked out of the carriage step by step backwards.
Uh, why is she walking backwards?
After the lady completely left the carriage, Xiao'er looked at the conductor nervously: No matter what, it was the classmate who started the fight first. Will he be controlled and detained after the train arrives at the station?
"Miss Chen Xiao'e, is there anything else you need?" The conductor adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses and turned around in a friendly manner. He looked at her with his bright eyes, as if eager to fulfill his distinguished guest's every wish.
"No, it's just that person just now... Is he okay?"
Her eyes were wandering, not knowing whether she should remind the conductor to get to the bottom of the fight.
"It's okay." The conductor smiled and shook his head.
Lin Lang also pulled out a wet wipe from her bag and handed it over, saying nonchalantly, "It's okay. That person just now clearly has mental problems. If you watch the video, you'll definitely see her trying to get close to you with a sharp object."
"Wipe it off first. It's hard to be completely immune to the toxin, right? That person just now was probably a professional assassin. Did you mess with someone? Let me know if it's convenient."
After Lin Lang finished speaking, the conductor also said softly: "That lady did carry prohibited items, you don't need to mind."
After saying this, he bowed thirty degrees. "If you have any needs, please feel free to ask. We are always here."
"Thanks……"
Chen Xiao'er watched him go away with mixed feelings, and only breathed a sigh of relief after his back completely disappeared.
She wiped the tip of her nose with a wet tissue, and the foul smell was no longer there.
The car was still running normally, and the gears could be heard clanging together in the car.
The little incident just now did not alarm anyone. The other passengers in the carriage were reading newspapers, drinking tea, and an old man was sleeping soundly.
The Red Star people are truly full of martial virtues. Sooner or later, they will adapt to society...
Chen Xiao'er leaned on the sofa for a while, then took out the brochure distributed by Taoli University from her bag.
"Lin Lang, let's choose the same dormitory then, right?"
Xiao'ai looked at Lin Lang with some anticipation. Although she had only known this classmate for one day, she always felt that she was very enthusiastic.
Most people would instinctively avoid someone approaching with a knife, but her reaction was to immediately protect the people around her.
And his strength is unexpectedly strong, which makes me feel super safe!
"Um?"
Lin Lang turned around and saw the girl's glittering smile. He almost said "yes." But she quickly realized it, blushing and scratching her hair. "But, the dormitory is assigned by the school."
“Hey—how could this happen!”
…
"Ugh..." The poisonous spider scratched his throat hard and injected the backup antidote with a resentful look on his face.
The toxin's reaction changed after I distanced myself from the target. Are you using superpowers to transform my toxin?! Damn, what kind of subjective superpower is this? So vicious!
She slowed her breathing, stretched out in the restroom of carriage 11, and tapped the short-range intercom.
Crunch, crunch, crunch.
The other party answered the call after a few seconds.
"Are you giving up the mission?"
The poisonous spider choked. "I'd like to give up. Can you waive the penalty?"
She barely suppressed her anger and said in a hoarse voice, "You, the organization, and the team are in the car, right? I suggest using human wave tactics and concentrating firepower on the target person."
【"reason?"】
The other side was brief and to the point. Everyone knew that using human wave tactics would definitely anger the [Train], causing abnormal direct expulsion or even hunting.
Once this method is activated, only a few people with super powers carrying special artifacts can risk leaving.
Poison Spider licked his lips and sneered, "Some of you should have seen what I did just now, right? That girl's superpower is definitely not some [Nullify Abnormality], the effect is very strange. The files the client gave us are all wrong. If they don't kill us by force, we can complete the mission with our heads."
【"really."】
The man opposite also had an indifferent expression. As the captain, he naturally had a spy sitting in carriage No. 7.
As professional psychic assassins, they could easily determine that their target possessed a very troublesome and unknown superpower. If time hadn't been so tight and the Devouring Snake hadn't offered an irresistible price, he would have chosen to retreat temporarily.
Damn it, you’ll die if you say a few more words.
Poison Spider pressed impatiently, "I'm willing to join your next operation. Just give me a definite answer, are we going to retreat together or something?"
"The target drank a large amount of liquids in the vehicle."
"so what?"
[“Install an explosive device in the toilet of carriage No. 7 and detonate it after she enters.”]
"Wow, but the explosive device that can block train monitoring for a short time must have abnormal technology in it. What if it doesn't work?" Poison Spider was a little worried. Her poison is basically pure natural, but it is still effective.
Furthermore, the explosion would undoubtedly enrage the train, triggering the unusual total annihilation rule. Well, by then, she might not be able to escape unscathed; she would have to "die" at least once.
"Team A will mobilize all members to drown the target in the toilet."
"Venomous Spider, you need to participate as well. As for whether to attack the target person or restrict the bodyguards and train attendants, we'll adapt to the situation."
"It's really... a classic method, okay."
Poison Spider looked at the dilapidated toilet and sink and cut off the intercom.
A standard team consists of at least 15 people.
Since she couldn't use her super powers, the girl's bodyguards couldn't protect her even if they had three heads and six arms.
She stood up shakily and touched up her makeup in the mirror, thinking about how she would escape after completing the mission and how she would spend such a large sum of money...
Beep, beep, beep.
Venomous Spider lowered her head. It was her Pasteurometer that was beeping. As a professional, she also had her Pasteurometer pressed against her chest.
【470】
The train itself is an anomaly and will carry many abnormal passengers, so more than 400 is reasonable.
So there is a prompt sound because——
With a plop, the makeup cake fell into the pool.
[Because the value fluctuated abnormally within a few seconds.]
She trembled all over and looked at the mirror nervously.
There's something behind me!
