Chapter 42: The Last Train to Explosion



Du Sanying hurriedly stepped into the car at the last second. The car was extremely hot, but not as hot as he had imagined that could burn people to death. The bodies swaying on the rings and the bodies of other passengers in the car remained where they were and did not attack him. The flames burned through Du Sanying's hair, and although it was a little hot, it did not have the real texture of flames.

Bai Liu smiled kindly at Du Sanying: "Hello, my name is Bai Liu, and I'm one of the players of this game."

Du Sanying stretched out his hand awkwardly: "Well, hello, my name is Du Sanying..."

Mu Sicheng looked at Du Sanying and saw a bit of surprise on his face, as if he had not expected that Du Sanying was also in this game. But soon he snorted coldly, crossed his arms and sneered in one breath, as if he had not seen this person and did not say hello.

Du Sanying seemed to have expected Mu Sicheng to behave like this. The smile on his face became more and more awkward. He huddled in the corner and said almost nothing. Finally, he couldn't hold it in any longer and asked, "Bai Liu, how did you know that we wouldn't be attacked when we got on the bus?"

"These should be a simple cutscene animation." Bai Liu analyzed, "Because we haven't received the first mission that gives points yet, which means the game hasn't officially started yet. These things are probably just to scare the players and explain the background of the story. They won't really kill the players."

After saying that, Bai Liurao looked at Mu Sicheng and Du Sanying with interest. The two were obviously at odds. He turned to look at Mu Sicheng, who had been silent since Du Sanying came up: "Why, do you have any grudge against this kid Du Sanying?"

Mu Sicheng glanced at Du Sanying coldly with hostility. Du Sanying was so frightened by his glance that he didn't know where to put his hands and feet. He huddled behind a burning corpse and watched their conversation secretly, feeling a little helpless.

Du Sanying doesn't look tall, even half a head shorter than Bai Liu. His thick bottle-cap square eyes and thin body make him look like a high school student who is over-preparing for exams. He exudes a strong, harmless nerd aura, so people like Bai Liu who have entered society would call Du Sanying "little boy".

"You'll know once you play the game with Du Sanying." Mu Sicheng seemed to have recalled an unpleasant experience, and the lollipop in his mouth made a crunching sound. "This guy's luck value is 100. No matter how hard you try, he will always be the first in the game and take away your victory in ways you can't imagine."

Du Sanying's small TV audience burst into laughter instantly:

"Maybe the Shepherd remembered that the little parrot took advantage of his mistake and won first place in the last multiplayer game."

"Little Parrot, that's not picking up leaks, that's a heaven-dropped express. He didn't even bend over to pick it up, it was the Shepherd God who came to deliver it himself. I have to say that the Shepherd God's delivery service is still very good."

"So even though Du Sanying is ranked third on the Rising Stars list, he doesn't even know the opening animation." Mu Sicheng sneered, "Because he got to the top by doing nothing, he has no sense of the game at all. I advise you not to deal with him, otherwise the props and information you collected will eventually fall into his hands inexplicably."

"He is lucky, but everyone close to him is unlucky. Every time a player is in the same game with Du Sanying, their luck will decrease to a certain extent."

Mu Sicheng said this as if he looked down on Du Sanying for not even daring to get on the train, but in fact, when Bai Liu calmly pulled Mu Sicheng onto the burning train just now, Mu Sicheng was also frightened. Later, Bai Liu said that they had not received the points task yet, and this opening was most likely just an animation effect before Mu Sicheng realized it.

Most players rarely think about the opening animation, and even if they do, they don't dare to get on the car so confidently. Only Bai Liu dared to get on the car and give it a try without hesitation.

Bai Liu is an extremely gambling person. If gambling was not illegal, he would have gone for it. He is the kind of person who would dare to try 100% if he guessed that the success rate was about 80%.

If it was the later Mu Sicheng, he would definitely not be so honest to get in the car with the cowardly Bai Liu, but the current Mu Sicheng did not understand Bai Liu's nature yet, and was easily fooled by Bai Liu's very determined expression.

Having said that, Mu Si continued to explain Du Sanying to Bai Liu.

"Yes." Mu Sicheng opened the game manager and showed Bai Liu his luck value panel. His face began to darken. "My luck value has dropped from 56 to 43. Tsk, Du Sanying's damage is getting stronger and stronger. Bai Liu, your luck value will also be affected and decrease..."

Bai Liu and Mu Sicheng exchanged a glance silently: "Why, the luck attribute in your game can have negative numbers?"

Mu Sicheng: "..."

Damn, he forgot that Bai Liu’s luck value was only 0.

Du Sanying saw Mu Sicheng explaining to Bai Liu his ability to reduce other people's luck, and he seemed to know how annoying he was. Du Sanying scratched his face uncomfortably and shrank slightly to the corner. As a result, the car door suddenly closed and scared him.

All the burning corpses in the carriage suddenly turned into normal passengers. They turned their heads and smiled strangely at Bai Liu and the others. Then they turned into ashes and disappeared. The female voice of the radio in the carriage sweetly announced: "Dear passengers, welcome to Line 4. The next stop is Mirror City Museum."

Bai Liu turned around and took notice of the LED countdown sign on the subway station. After it was reset to zero, the sign changed to [60:00].

Bai Liu thought to himself that the one-hour countdown was about the time it took for a train to travel from the starting station to the terminal station. It seemed that the explosion would occur in an hour.

Bai Liu remembered the [Mirror City Explosion Case], which is the prototype of the case in the game called "The Last Train to Explosion". The explosion occurred at the Mirror City Museum subway station, and he got off at the previous station. But in reality, the previous station was not the [Antique City] where Bai Liu and his friends got on the train, and the subway line design was not a circular design that surrounded the city.

Bai Liu also took the last bus at that time, which was the same as Lu Yizhan.

He was originally going to get off a few stops after Mirror City, but Lu Yi Station had something urgent to do so he pulled Bai Liu and him off the bus early. Otherwise, Bai Liu, who was unlucky both inside and outside the game, would have been blown to pieces in the [Mirror City Explosion].

The Mirror City Explosion Case occurred because two thieves stole a priceless antique mirror and pretended to be the owner of the antique mirror, saying that they wanted to donate the mirror to the local museum in Bailiu, but they had to escort it into the museum in person.

The antique mirror was said to be worth over 100 million yuan, and the museum rarely received such large donations, so it agreed to some of the other party's somewhat unreasonable requests.

The city where Bai Liu is located is called Mirror City, and the name of the museum is called [Mirror City Museum]. The real purpose of the two thieves is to take advantage of the process of transporting antique mirrors into the backstage of Mirror City Museum, and then use the bomb hidden in the mirror to threaten and rob the collections in the museum.

And no one knew what the two thieves were thinking. They refused to transport the antique mirror by car and insisted on transporting it by subway. So the museum had to send someone to accompany the transportation. But something went wrong during the subway transportation and the bomb hidden in the antique mirror exploded. Almost everyone in that carriage died on the spot, including the two thieves and the museum specialist who was escorting the antique mirror.

Soon after the two thieves died, their crimes of stealing antique mirrors and attempting to rob museum collections were exposed. After a heated discussion, it was finally concluded that this was a terrorist theft and the case was settled.

Bai Liu later discussed this huge explosion case with Lu Yizhang, and they both agreed that the entire explosion case was still full of doubts, mainly the following two points:

First: How did these two thieves hide enough explosives to blow up an entire carriage in a mirror, pass security checks, and get onto the subway?

Second: These two thieves carried out the bombing attack for money, so why did they generously donate the priceless antique mirror to the Mirror City Museum?

As far as Bai Liu knew, the estimated price of the collections in the Mirror City Museum was not higher than that of this mirror. If the two thieves were after money, they could have sold the antique mirror privately. There was no need to go through the trouble of transporting the mirror into the Mirror City Museum and then rob the collections inside.

This operation has a very low cost-effectiveness, and it uses a stupid and risky method such as a bomb. Once the bomb appears, even if none of the two thieves are hurt after the theft, they will not be able to escape.

When Bai Liu and Lu Yizhan were talking about the bombing, Bai Liu said that if he wanted to rob the museum, he would directly sell the antique mirror, bribe the guards with a high price to let him in to steal, and then kill the guards and put the blame on them. Doing it cleanly could delay time so that he could sell the stolen goods abroad. Using bombs was too stupid.

Lu Yizhang was completely speechless after hearing Bai Liu's analysis. He said, Bai Liu, I asked you about this bombing case because I want you to think of ways to solve the case, not to ask you to think of a more perfect crime method from the criminal's perspective!

Bai Liu apologized insincerely and said, "I'm sorry, I only think from the perspective of those with the highest vested interests."

Lu Yizhang angrily accused Bai Liu, saying that with this kind of thinking, big problems will arise sooner or later!

Now the problem comes. Bai Liu is in the game "The Last Train", and he needs to think about why these two idiots would do such a stupid thing.

Bai Liu narrowed his eyes and his mind raced - these two thieves were unwilling to ride in a car, a confined vehicle, and unwilling to be alone with the mirror. These two thieves preferred crowded public transportation such as the subway, and were not afraid of damaging the mirror, so they hid a huge amount of explosives in the priceless mirror.

He would rather exchange this mirror for other collections in the museum than sell it, which is obviously contrary to the nature of a thief who is stingy.

To sum up, Bai Liu could draw an obvious conclusion - the two thieves were afraid of the mirror.

The two thieves didn't dare to stay in the car alone with the mirror. The mirror was worth 100 million. The two thieves might have tried to take the mirror, but for some reason they failed. The mirror was back in their hands. The two thieves pretended to be the owners and sought the authority of the museum in their despair, hoping to "donate" or "imprison" the mirror.

The two thieves even stuffed explosives into the mirror in an attempt to destroy it, but even though the two thieves did so many things to try to get rid of the mirror, an unfortunate thing still happened - the mirror exploded on the subway.

So, if Bai Liu guessed correctly, the key to this game was not the last train that was about to explode, nor the passengers who were burned to death, nor the names of the subway stations that the messy Du Sanying was looking at closely -

——It was the mirror.

[Congratulations to player Bai Liu for being the first to trigger the main quest - Collect the broken lenses on the last train (0/)]
