Ji Congyang was so excited that he wanted to rush over and hug his idol, but he was stopped before he could even touch the idol's sleeve.
"Don't touch me."
Ji Congyang looked at the person who stopped him, and it took him a few seconds to dig out this face from his memory of the live broadcast he had watched: "You were the third place in the Gear game?"
Tan Wang did get third place in the game at the beginning of a week ago, but anyone who has watched the replay can see that he got that third place entirely by luck. Afterwards, his friends couldn't help but speak in a sarcastic manner when they mentioned it.
But now, no matter the content, tone, or expression of the other party, there was no hidden meaning in his words. Based on this alone, Tan Wang's initial favorable impression of him was not low, and he replied in a serious tone of business flattery: "I have heard of your name for a long time, Mr. Ou."
It was the first time that Ji Congyang was addressed as a "God", and he immediately felt very excited.
When he gets cocky, he wants to show off to his companions. When he thinks of his companions, he thinks of the tasks they have given him...
Task.
Ji Congyang came back to his senses and noticed their attire first: "Idol, you are also train attendants now? You have been staying here all the time? That's not right, you are between the second and third carriages now, and Old Qiao didn't even see you when he walked to the back just now? Is his eyesight so bad now?"
Shi Yu: "Have you been in the same place since the beginning?"
Ji Congyang nodded quickly, and while his mind was still fresh in his memory, he spoke quickly: "It may be difficult to stop our car now."
Tan Wang blinked and was about to say that they already knew about this when he heard the other party continue, "I don't know why, the speed of this train suddenly increased so much. It started to behave abnormally as soon as it passed that section of track. It has almost exceeded the original speed by twice in just a short time."
"……?"
Ji Congyang had a wooden face, like an emotionless repeater: "'Since I found that its speed has become abnormal, I have tried to slow down the speed, but no matter how I adjust it, it will only speed up. What can I do...'"
He repeated the driver's words in one breath, then repeated the conductor's words in one breath, and finally repeated Qiao Yan's words in one breath. He took a deep breath at the end: "This is all the information I got after the game started, but I don't understand what it means specifically. I'm afraid I have to ask Old Joe. Idol, have you figured out anything?"
Tan Wang was a little shocked that this brother actually gave away all the clues. Is this just something a normal fan would do to his idol?
Shi Yu leaned against the window, lowered his eyes and remained silent for a moment: "Yes."
Ji Congyang was surprised: "What is it?"
"But I'm not sure, because so far I haven't received any information about the cause of the incident." Shi Yu said, his eyelashes suddenly trembling, and his eyes fell on the passage door of the third carriage.
The air was suddenly quiet for a full ten seconds, until Ji Congyang couldn't help but ask him what was wrong again, when the door handle suddenly made a slight sound.
Someone pushed the door open and walked in, then closed the door behind him: "What a keen perception."
Tan Wang instantly understood the reason for the silence: "When did you come here?!"
The man glanced at him indifferently, and quickly looked away, with the contempt and disdain in his eyes not concealed at all.
"I'm coming to see you."
Shi Yu listened, his eyes fell on the brooch on his collar, and saw the small silver-plated words: "Temple?"
"Yes." He nodded slightly, "My surname is Jiang, and my given name is Ze."
Shi Yu: "What do you want to talk to me about?"
Jiang Ze got straight to the point: "On behalf of the temple, I invite you to join."
Tan Wang frowned.
Ji Congyang asked curiously, "The Temple? The guild in the upper nine heavens of the Divine Realm?"
Jiang Ze kept his eyes on Shi Yu: "Come over?"
Shi Yu just said, "I won't go."
Jiang Ze couldn't tell whether he was angry or not, so he asked again: "Are you sure you don't want to come?"
Shi Yu: “Sure.”
The atmosphere was slightly stagnant.
Among the three people present, Tan Wang knew the most about the "Temple" of the Upper Nine Heavens, because of Gu Jinchao and Chi Feng, but on the other hand, he only had a glimpse of the Lower Nine Heavens and had never personally come into contact with its main residence.
He had not forgotten that he had already left the group after that group game, and subconsciously did not want to be in the same room with his old boss, especially since the other party was obviously still planning to poach his people: "If you came here just for this matter, and now that you have asked him and he has refused, what are you going to do here?"
The scenery outside the window was rapidly receding backwards; the rotation of the wheel axles and the whistle from the front of the car mixed together, like sobs ringing in people's ears.
"I'm sorry."
Jiang Ze lowered his hand, and a dagger suddenly appeared from his sleeve. He then raised his hand again: "The temple only spares the lives of two kinds of people, one is our own people, and the other is ordinary people."
Tan Wang and Ji Congyang's expressions suddenly changed.
Jiang Ze never looked at them from beginning to end, and rushed towards Shi Yu without hesitation.
“clang——”
The dagger hit the moving train hard, embedding deeply between the metal gaps of the door.
Shi Yu rolled over to avoid the attack, and just as his feet touched the ground, the man behind him did not even hesitate for a moment. He easily pulled out the dagger that was embedded in the gap and rushed over again.
The dagger hit the metal car wall for the second time, and the dark paint fell off instantly, leaving a long mark on the alloy plate.
Shi Yu just turned his head to avoid it, and a strand of hair from his neck suddenly fell.
This time, Jiang Ze didn't even bother drawing his sword. The dagger slashed directly at his neck along the metal wall.
Shi Yu squatted down and swept directly towards the opponent's lower body.
The dagger missed for the third time. Jiang Ze's body swayed and he did a somersault to maintain his balance. The next moment, a cold light flashed in his eyes.
Seven or eight darts flew out from his sleeves, with the sharp parts pointing directly at Shi Yu's face.
The aisle is only wide enough to accommodate one person, and there is no room for maneuvering, and even the space for hiding is limited.
Shi Yu leaned against the door, and the golden silk thread began to grow wildly.
The first batch of darts were stopped by the silk thread, but more thread ends were cut and fell.
Puppet threads are about control and surprise, but in essence they are just threads that can be easily cut short with a pair of scissors.
Dozens of darts came like a torrential rain, hitting the metal wall with a clanging sound and directly breaking the barrier formed by golden silk threads in front of them.
Jiang Ze had an extra gun in his hand.
AKD Hera.
He stood in the aisle, raised his hand, and took aim.
"Bang--"
"Bang--"
Two loud bangs.
One came from the barrel of the gun in his hand, and the other came from behind him.
Thick white smoke spread suddenly, and in the blink of an eye it filled the entire aisle, leaving no visible scenery.
Jiang Ze narrowed his eyes, and suddenly there was a sound of breaking wind behind him.
He couldn't see and subconsciously dodged, but failed to avoid it. His shoulder was brushed by something flying in the white smoke. While supporting himself with his hands, he turned around and fired in the direction of the attack.
The bullet hit the metal wall of the car, making a crisp sound.
None of the bullets hit the target, all the bullets went empty.
The doors at both ends of the passage were all opened, and white smoke poured madly into both ends of the carriage.
Shi Yu was standing in the white smoke when he suddenly heard footsteps in front of him.
He subconsciously raised his hand, but the person who came seemed to be able to see through the smoke that blocked his vision and accurately grabbed his wrist.
"It's me."
It is Tan Wang’s voice.
The third carriage had been thrown into complete chaos because of the sudden influx of white smoke. Passengers were screaming, exclaiming, panicking, leaving their seats and running around, as if to cause a scene in the entire carriage.
The smoke alarm on the roof of the car shrieked with a flashing red light.
Tan Wang quickly walked through the carriage filled with white smoke and opened the door of the fourth carriage.
The white smoke once again poured into the new carriage, constantly expanding its coverage.
This time, someone among the passengers finally reacted and opened the window.
I walked all the way to the connecting passage between the fourth and fifth carriages, where the white smoke finally dissipated, and at least I could see the road clearly with my eyes.
Tan Wang let go of the two people's hands. The hat he had been wearing for half an hour finally fell off, and a pair of black goggles appeared on his face. "Someone opened the window just now, and the smoke bomb quickly dissipated. Should we go back or forward now?"
Shi Yu hadn't put away the golden thread in her hand yet, and looked at his glasses with some confusion: "Back."
Tan Wang noticed his gaze and took off his glasses to explain, "Infrared thermal imager, 15,000 points for one, buy three smoke bombs and get one free, do you need me to send you the link to the game store when I get back?"
Shi Yu: “…No, thank you.”
No wonder Tan Wang was able to lead the two of them away accurately even when the white smoke was rising just now.
Ji Congyang didn't expect to encounter such a fierce battle less than two hours after the game started. Even though the battle lasted less than ten minutes, he didn't lose a hair the whole time: "Is that guy sick?"
Tan Wang opened the door of the fifth carriage and said, "It's normal. They are like that."
Ji Congyang: "What's this like?"
Tan Wang thought for a moment and said: "If I can't get it, I'll destroy it. If I can't hold the sand, I might as well just throw it away."
Ji Congyang was simply shocked by this magical extreme individualism: "Just because my idol refused them to join the temple?"
Tan Wang thought to himself, is your idol still on their wanted list? He turned around and said, "I don't know if it will have any impact, but after the last game, Sister Chao and I were put on their disposal list."
Shi Yu took half a second to react: "Because of Chi Feng?"
“Although Chi Feng holds the title of the Temple’s agent of Lower Nine Heavens, in reality the Temple only regards him as an eye of Lower Nine Heavens and asks him to train more eyes of Lower Nine Heavens for the Temple. It’s not that the Temple values him that much. If he’s gone, they can just find another one.” Tan Wang said, “The point is that we quit the Temple directly after that game. They probably want to deal with us because of this. Obviously, they care more about their own dignity that cannot be disobeyed than the death of their agent - I don’t know where they get so much excess self-awareness from.”
Shi Yu was silent.
"Unlike the Novice Field game at the beginning of each month in the Lower Nine Days, the 'Novice Period' of the Upper Nine Days begins seven days after the Lower Nine Days' collective game at the beginning of each month, and the number of advanced and experienced players in the Novice Field is evenly split. For example, there are ten advanced players in this game, all ten of whom have participated in the 'Gears' game with us, and nearly one-third of the people in the last collective game have received the 'summoning order' issued by Chi Feng."
Tan Wang said: "That is to say, among the ten newly promoted advanced players in this game, three or four of them may follow the Temple. Do you understand what I mean?"
Ji Congyang listened for a while and said, "So what? Isn't it normal for several people to form a team and come in together in a game? I came in with my friends."
Tan Wang considers himself not a brain-based gamer, and he only does reconnaissance and fighting in the game. He starts to get confused when it comes to a slightly more complex worldview. But at this moment, he stared at him for a long while with a subtle expression, probably because he didn't expect that even after coming to the Ninth Heaven, there would be someone with a simpler mind than him.
"In this game, the players belonging to the Temple group include veteran players who originally came in as a team, as well as advanced players who have just been promoted. I have seen it in the Pure White Space. The guy named Jiang Ze and four other people are the only five-person team in the Pure White Space."
Tan Wang kindly explained to him, "Five veteran players, plus about three or four advanced players who have just entered the Upper Nine Heavens, that's eight or nine people. In other words, nearly half of the people in this game are now working for the Temple."
Ji Congyang blinked.
Tan Wang: "They may all want to kill your idol now."
