Chapter 179: Warning from Black Pupa, the world's number one vehicle (asking for monthly tickets)
On the quiet Platform No. 7, Hei Pupa was hanging upside down under the eaves, flipping through comics and chatting with Su Zimai.
Suddenly, a roar came from the tunnel, suddenly drowning out the entire world.
The two of them suddenly turned their heads and looked at the railway tunnel that had been built a long time ago.
The train demon's searchlight cut through the night, illuminating their faces, and its hundred-meter-long body rushed out from the dark tunnel.
At the same time, the two people on the platform raised their hands and covered their ears in tacit understanding.
The next moment, a deafening brake sound was heard.
The front of the demon train suddenly stopped, and the entire carriage was like a snake's body, suddenly bending upward from the middle section, and then slowly returning to a flat shape, stopping on the track of Platform 7.
The wheels rubbed against the rails, making a sharp sound that made people scream and scratch, followed by a burst of "pop" fireworks.
After a while, the hundred-meter-long stretch of car body finally calmed down.
The train demon was dark red all over, and its gigantic body almost blocked all the moonlight, casting a bottomless shadow on the empty platform.
Fortunately, the carriage was brightly lit, and the warm orange light spread outward, illuminating the surroundings like fireflies on a Christmas tree.
Su Zimai lowered his face and stood helplessly on the platform, waiting for the door to open.
Suddenly, a "huffing" sound came from the front of the train, and billowing waves of steam gushed out from the seams of the train, covering the entire platform in the blink of an eye, like the smoke exhaled by a giant after smoking an oversized cigar.
After a moment, the smoke that filled the platform dissipated, and the true face of the train demon was revealed in the night.
It is like a mirror, reflecting the cold moonlight.
At this time, I saw a dark red face embedded in the front of the car. The face looked old, but the eyebrows were long and thick, steam was puffing out of his nostrils, and his mouth was tightly pursed, looking like an angry old man.
The platform fell completely silent.
"Sorry for the wait, both of you." Along with a voice, the door of carriage No. 5 opened from the inside, and then a woman wearing a brown windbreaker and holding a cigarette in her mouth walked out. There was a faint arc on her lips.
"Captain, why does your train demon make such a big noise every time..." Su Zimai slowly loosened his hands and said with a sigh.
Ke Qiqi raised his hand to adjust the beret on his head and said with a smile: "I can't help it. I have reminded it many times, but it just can't stop making noises every time."
"I feel like my hearing has deteriorated significantly after hanging out with you for so long. I might need to wear a hearing aid when I get older."
Su Zimai is full of resentment.
As they were talking, a faint voice sounded from above their heads: "It's been a while since we last met, Miss Ke. I'm relieved to see that you're still so energetic."
"It's only a week, is it that long?"
As Ke Qirui spoke, he put away his pipe, raised the corners of his lips, and looked up at the black pupa hanging upside down under the eaves.
"A week is already very long. At least for me, this week is particularly long," Black Pupa said. "Excuse me, are your two teammates in the carriage?"
"Of course, the Ghost Train Group is a whole. We usually don't act alone."
Black Pupa said as he read the comics: "Okay, what I mean is...they both seem to have bad tempers. It's better not to put me in the same carriage with them, otherwise I'm worried that they will fight with me."
"Ah... I didn't expect that our omnipotent and omniscient Mr. Black Pupa would actually worry about such things."
Ke Qirui paused and said teasingly, "What a pity. You can rest assured that since the little girl who dislikes you the most here can get along with you peacefully, the other two members of the group will naturally be able to get along with you in harmony."
"Is that so?" Hei Pu tilted his head and narrowed his eyes suspiciously, "You really won't trick me into getting on the train and then beat me up, right?"
"How could that be?" Ke Qirui chuckled. "They still want to thank you for saving Xiaomai for them that day. If you hadn't helped them, given the personalities of these two sultry guys, they would probably have regretted it for the rest of their lives, right?"
"Captain!" Su Zimai looked at her unhappily and protested in a low voice, "Even if the big moth didn't come to save me, I wouldn't have died that day, okay?"
She tilted her head slightly and snorted coldly: "I just saw that Xia Pingzhou was one of us, so I gave him a little slack."
Hei Pupa spread his hands and said, "Thank you. I will convey your kindness to Mr. Xia Pingzhou. Thank you for not only letting him go, but also promoting the sales of Baby Bus brand diapers."
He paused and said, "Oh... The reason why I say it boosted the sales of Babybus brand diapers is because I will write about this incident in my autobiography in the future, and my autobiography will be popular all over the world and become a best-selling book for teenagers aged twelve to twenty. I believe this will definitely boost the sales of this diaper."
Su Zimai's eyes twitched slightly, and her face turned red as she was about to get angry. Suddenly, Ke Qirui touched the top of her head and said without turning back:
"Well, if you lose, you lose...Xu Sanyan and Lin Zhengquan must know the situation better than you do."
Black Pupa closed the book "Goodbye Eri" and raised his eyes to meet Ke Qirui's gaze.
"It sounds like, with my achievements, I deserve a separate VIP carriage, right?" he asked.
Ke Qirui smiled, "Of course, but you have to sit with us for now, because we still need to discuss the main points of tomorrow's action. By the way... ask you about Xia Pingzhou."
At the end, she lowered her voice slightly, lowered her head to her pipe and took a puff of smoke, her eyes flickering under the brim of her hat.
She still had too many questions in her mind about Xia Pingzhou.
"Since time is tight, why don't we talk in the car." As he said that, Hei Pupa retracted the restraints on his head, spun in mid-air, and landed lightly, with his feet on the dusty public wooden chair. The hem of his windbreaker drooped down.
Su Zimai turned his head to look at him, then stepped onto the gangway and entered the brightly lit carriage.
The black pupa jumped down from the public wooden chair and followed closely behind.
Ke Qirui was the last one to come in and close the door. The demon train rumbled and became restless, and the deafening engine sound sounded again. It roared into the tunnel and rushed forward at a weird speed.
At the same time, Hei Pu raised his head and glanced through the dark red eye sockets on the mask at Xu Sanyan and Lin Zhengquan who were sitting quietly in the carriage.
The former is still the same, wearing a black turtleneck windbreaker, and the latter is still wearing a white vest with trousers.
Black Pupa said, "Nice to meet you, gentlemen. I am Black Pupa. I believe you have all heard of my name?"
"Lin Zhengquan." "Xu Sanyan."
The two's replies were very brief. One of them hugged his shoulders and closed his eyes to rest, while the other looked out the window and smoked quietly.
"By the way, our Zhengquan has already broken through to the third level." Ke Qirui took a puff of cigarette and said lightly.
"A third-level exorcist?" Black Pupa crossed his arms, "That's incredible. There are only a handful of such people in the entire world."
Lin Zhengquan said in a low voice: "Captain, don't say anything like 'our family'. It makes me sound like I'm your son."
"Are you shy again?" Ke Qirui raised the corner of his lips and glanced at him playfully.
Black Pupa shrugged, "So, what is Mr. Zhengquan's current strength, quasi-disaster level?"
"There are definitely some that are quasi-disaster-level, but I'm not sure how close to disaster-level they are. After all, we haven't seen them in actual combat yet."
"That is to say, including the captain, you now have two quasi-disaster-level soldiers here, and your train regiment is also getting better." Black Pupa said.
"It's hard to say... We have a rising star here, and she is our trump card." Ke Qirui said as he put his arm around Su Zimai's shoulders and leaned close to her cheek with a smile.
"What do you mean by 'rising star'? Aren't you ashamed of it?"
Su Zimai hugged his shoulders, wrinkled his nose and glanced at her.
"You have the Ice-Cold Diaper Devil as your trump card. Your team has a promising future."
Hei Pu sighed secretly in his heart. If he hadn't considered that it would be better to give his sister some face in a crowded place, he would have started teasing her a long time ago.
"By the way, I've heard that the Train Demon can create a space-time tunnel independent of the outside world and travel freely through it, thereby achieving high-speed travel between two cities, or even between the two poles of the world."
As Hei Pupa spoke, he turned his head and glanced out the window.
In the tunnel where light and shadow intertwined, the train demon moved forward for a while and suddenly disappeared into a crack in time and space.
When I came to my senses, the dark red car body was already running in a bizarre tunnel.
Looking out the window at this time, you can occasionally catch a glimpse of the Pearl Building in Reykjavik, the Empire State Building that reaches the sky in the center of New York, the brightly lit streets of Paris, and the Eiffel Tower that stands like a giant in the center of the city.
Black Pupa retracted his gaze and said with emotion: "After seeing it today, I didn't expect it to be true."
"Of course... As a vehicle, the Train Demon is impeccable." Ke Qirui smiled slightly, "I am very confident in this regard. No other vehicle in the world can compare to the Train Demon."
"Unfortunately, I don't agree with this idea." Black Pupa shook his head.
"Oh?" Ke Qirui raised his eyebrows. "Mr. Black Pupa is indeed well-informed. Do you think there is any other means of transportation that can be faster than this big guy under our feet?"
"Somersault Cloud."
"Somersault Cloud?"
Ke Qirui raised his eyebrows, then looked up at the black pupa from under the brim of his hat.
She asked, "Could it be that what Mr. Black Pupa was talking about is... a mythical anecdote?"
Hei Pupa was silent for a moment, then turned his head and met her curious gaze.
"Miss Ke, my situation does not allow me to reveal too much about this to you," he said seriously, "but I still have to remind you that in this 'Red Light Operation', it is very likely... or rather, there will definitely be opponents more difficult than the White Crow Brigade."
"Disaster level?"
"That's right."
Su Zimai thought for a moment, frowned and interjected, "But... Hong Lu Deng is only a second-level exorcist. He is not even a top-tier wanted criminal. How could he attract a calamity-level figure?"
"There are many things involved in this, and you'd better keep your distance from the truth," Black Pupa said, "In short, there is a necessary prerequisite for my cooperation with you this time... If I call a halt, you will temporarily retreat, okay?"
Hearing this, Xu Sanyan could no longer sit still: "Who do you think you are? You are giving orders here without even explaining yourself clearly?"
Lin Zhengquan hugged his shoulders and closed his eyes to rest, and said coldly: "Xu Sanyan, don't speak when the commander tells you not to... Follow the commander's instructions in everything. How many times have I told you that you don't understand?"
"Tsk." Xu Sanyan smacked his lips.
Su Zimai remained silent.
She knew Hei Pu's ability well. It was as if this guy could predict the future. Every time things would go as he said. Hei Pu said there was a problem, so there would definitely be some problems in the operation to capture Hong Dao Deng this time.
Thinking of this, Su Zimai shook his head, wondering why he trusted this guy so much. It might be because he saved him once.
Hei Pupa ignored the reactions of the other three people and stared at Ke Qirui's face motionlessly.
In the Ghost Train Group, other people's opinions are irrelevant, he just needs to convince the leader.
Ke Qirui thought for a moment, then raised his eyes from under the brim of his hat and looked at the black pupa calmly.
She said, "Okay, Mr. Black Pupa, I agree to your request. As long as you call a halt, our actions will be temporarily terminated."
"It's great to have a sensible partner, Miss Ke." Hei Pupa hugged his shoulders and said slowly, "Then, let's discuss how to catch the 'red light'."
