Chapter 267 Believe it or not, I'll report you [20]
After learning from Achu that the train fire was real, Zhongqing and Fangyuan discussed how to find the arsonist.
Of course, it wasn't just the two of them trying to find the arsonist; the other players also realized that to survive, they had to find the killer!
The train chugged along ahead, and the players were more united than ever before.
Zhong Qing: "We've already passed the morgue station. The next station is the guillotine station, and the station before the final stop is the coffin-raising and fortune-making station."
"We'd better catch the murderer at the mass grave station, one stop before the coffin-raising and fortune-making station."
Fang Yuan nodded: "Yes! Maybe the murderer set fire as soon as he arrived at the coffin-raising station to make money?"
Some players nodded in agreement, while others said, "Then we need to confirm how much longer it will take to reach the mass grave station."
Player: "How do I confirm this? It's not showing up!"
One player boldly suggested, "Why don't we ask the flight attendant?"
"Your suggestion is too bold! What if you get thrown out?"
"I certainly wouldn't dare ask!"
"Give it a try, what if she says it?"
The players all gathered around Achu and Nanxingye, but Nanxingye didn't offer any opinion.
Zhong Qing looked at A Chu and asked her, "Miss, do you think the flight attendant would tell us if we asked her?"
Several players nearby looked at Zhong Qing with disbelief, thinking she was desperately seeking help from an NPC.
But then they thought again, it was this NPC who revealed that the train would catch fire!
Achu was looking down, playing with Nan Xingye's fingers. His fingers were long, slender, and very beautiful.
Hearing Zhong Qing speak to her, she looked up again.
Ah Chu smiled and said, "Just call me Ah Chu."
She quite liked Zhong Qing and Fang Yuan.
Zhong Qing nodded: "Okay, Achu. Do you think the flight attendant will tell us if we ask her how much longer it will take to reach the mass grave station?"
Achu: "Why not give it a try? After all, flight attendants are there to serve passengers, aren't they?"
Achu's words made Zhongqing's eyes light up.
She nodded and decided to give it a try.
Next to each passenger's seat is a red cover; open the cover to reveal a button underneath.
Pressing this button will alert the flight attendant, who will then come over.
When Zhongqing pressed the button, the other players returned to their seats.
I'm afraid that when the flight attendants come and see that they're not in their seats, they'll throw them out.
They had barely settled in when a flight attendant came over.
The flight attendant's face clearly showed impatience as she walked precisely toward her preferred seat.
She gradually put a lot of pressure on those players.
The carriage was quiet; the players could almost hear their own heartbeats.
Zhong Qing and Fang Yuan were also very nervous.
Zhongqing sat by the window, while Fangyuan sat by the aisle.
When the flight attendant approached, Fang Yuan instinctively used her body to block Zhong Qing.
"Who pressed the call button?" the flight attendant asked Zhong Qing and Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan was about to say that it was her, but Zhong Qing beat her to it: "I pressed it."
The flight attendant asked with a sour face, "Does the passenger need any assistance?"
Zhong Qing appeared calm, but she was actually a little nervous. Nevertheless, she asked, "Excuse me, how much longer until we reach the mass grave station?"
The flight attendant still had a sour face and looked somewhat unhappy: "We've arrived, so what's there to ask?"
The other players who were listening intently all had an "I knew it" look on their faces.
They even thought that the flight attendant was being quite good-natured by not throwing Zhongqing away.
Zhong Qing didn't get an answer from the flight attendant and was thinking of giving up.
Just then, the female NPC named Achu in the back seat raised her hand: "Flight attendant, I have a question."
The flight attendant looked at Achu, her face turning even uglier.
This 'colleague' is so beautiful!
The flight attendant couldn't help but feel jealous, and even considered finding an excuse to kick this 'colleague' off the train.
"What's the problem?"
As if oblivious to the flight attendant's malice, Achu said, "I want to know how much longer until we reach the mass grave station."
The flight attendant grew increasingly impatient: "Didn't I just say! We're here! What's there to ask!"
Ah Chu also seemed angry: "What kind of attitude is this? Is this how your superiors instruct you to treat passengers? Believe me or not, I'll file a complaint against you!"
The flight attendant became even angrier, her dark face turning pale: "You're complaining about me?! What gives you the right to complain about me?!"
Ah Chu: "Just because I'm a passenger! There's a complaint hotline posted at the head of your carriage. If I call and complain about your terrible attitude, you won't even be a conductor!"
The flight attendant saw that Ah Chu seemed to be serious and became a little scared.
Their NPCs also have different levels.
If she gets complaints and can't be a flight attendant, she'll have to work as a cleaner, which she doesn't want!
The flight attendant still tried to maintain her composure: "You...you think you're so great just because you're a passenger? What did you just ask?"
Players: "...?"
So even flight attendants in horror game instances are afraid of complaints?
Ah Chu patiently repeated the question again.
This time, the flight attendant replied, "We will arrive at the mass grave station in five hours."
"Does this passenger have any other questions?"
Achu: "That's all, you can go now."
The flight attendant forced a fake smile onto her stiff face: "Okay, it's a pleasure to serve you. Please call me if you need anything!"
After the flight attendants left, the players gathered around again, chattering amongst themselves.
"Ah, it feels so good to see the flight attendant get the short end of the stick!"
"Haha, yeah, yeah!"
"So even flight attendants are afraid of complaints!"
"Wouldn't it be much easier for us to threaten her with a complaint?"
Some players have expressed interest.
Zhong Qing remained calm and reminded them, "I'm afraid that won't work. Even if you want to complain, there are rules and regulations. If a passenger is being unreasonable, the flight attendant might have the right to handle it."
Fang Yuan nodded: "That's right. Just like ticket checking, players without tickets can simply pay to buy a ticket in real life, but here they are just thrown off the train."
Zhong Qing and Fang Yuan's words were like two buckets of cold water, instantly dampening the excitement of the players.
Everyone calmed down again.
Zhong Qing glanced at A Chu and thanked her, "Thank you for helping me just now."
If Ah Chu hadn't asked for help, the flight attendant definitely wouldn't have told her.
Achu smiled and said, "You're welcome."
Nan Xingye glanced at Zhong Qing, then looked at A Chu.
He was a little unhappy that Ah Chu was looking at someone else, even though that someone else was just a girl.
Zhong Qing is a very perceptive person, and she immediately noticed Nan Xingye's dislike for her, which was a bit inexplicable.
But now is not the time to worry about these things.
The players continued their discussion.
"Now that we know we have five hours to go to the mass grave station, we don't need to panic too much."
"Yes, five hours is plenty of time!"
"Although we have plenty of time, we should try to find the murderer as quickly as possible, and we need to have a sense of urgency."
"That makes sense."
While the others were discussing, Achu leaned close to Nan Xingye's ear and whispered, "Brother Xingye, do you want me to tell you who the murderer is?"
Nan Xingye looked at A Chu with a doting smile in his eyes.
He replied in a whisper, "Not for now."
He didn't get promoted to S-rank by luck.
