Sitting on the tour bus.

Bai Tao looked at the snowy world in front of him and fell into deep thought.

He thought his destination was Africa.

As a result, after changing his identity several times and taking appropriate transfers, he finally arrived at this town within the Arctic Circle.

"Everyone in the polar tour group, next is our last stop, the town of Tromsø. Now you can get off the bus and move around freely."

The tour guide's voice sounded up ahead.

Hearing this, Bai Tao slowly got off the bus.

In front of me was a jubilant crowd. A movie was playing on a large open-air screen in the square, and many people gathered around.

Tromsø hosts the Tromsø International Film Festival in January every year. It aims to showcase outstanding films for audiences from the polar regions, Norway and the world, and features an outdoor cinema.

Bai Tao heard the tour guide introduce this on the tour bus. Due to many reasonable reasons, the International Film Festival in January next year was adjusted to August this year.

Looking at the lively crowd around him, Bai Tao felt that his mood was as calm as the snow floating in the sky, so cold that it made his heart cold.

When Bai Tao thought about the purpose of coming here to join a mysterious organization, he immediately realized the purpose of this inexplicably advanced film festival.

This is to allow the large influx of people during the festival to conceal the whereabouts of these new students.

This important festival should have been carefully planned and brought more than 26 million Norwegian kroner in economic value to local officials.

Because of the needs of the mysterious organization Everday, it was "reasonably" held in advance.

Such a casually arranged action made Bai Tao feel deeply awed.

All the way from China to Africa, and now to the extremely low European region, each of his trips was completely arranged by various forces with various extremely reasonable reasons.

It seems that everything in the world can be arbitrarily arranged and molded by this huge and mysterious organization for its own needs.

Bai Tao knew very well what this meant.

Even if their Bai Group is in Zhonghai City, which is just a small piece of land of their own, they can never achieve such influence.

Silent.

Bai Tao walked slowly among this noisy and ignorant crowd.

The raven's reduced presence allowed him to silently open a smooth path in the bustling crowd.

On both sides were crowds of people discussing loudly and rejoicing.

In the middle, Bai Tao was walking quietly with his head lowered and Raven 12138 on his shoulders.

The quiet and lively styles of painting seem extremely disjointed.

…

As we got closer to the abandoned train station that Raven 12138 mentioned, the bustling crowds around became increasingly sparse.

It seemed that there was some mysterious force that was dispersing the people approaching here.

Bai Tao felt the quiet environment and looked at the destination he was about to reach. He couldn't help but feel more and more nervous.

This is an abandoned train station.

There were weeds growing at the entrance. Walking through the unattended gate, what came into view was the old but clean waiting hall.

On the benches here, there were a dozen or so people in different clothes sitting scattered around.

Some of them were wearing tuxedos and monocles on their noses, looking like British aristocrats.

Some were wearing embroidered silk saris, and the smell of curry could be smelled from afar.

Someone was wearing an old version of the European United System military uniform and looked like a retired soldier.

These people, dressed in different clothes, seemed to come from all over the world, and they all had a raven on their shoulders.

Apparently, everyone was here for the same reason.

As Bai Tao stepped into the abandoned train station, these people subconsciously looked over, then looked away.

Bai Tao frowned and was about to continue looking around.

A scream suddenly sounded in my ears.

"Cauldron, your raven is not as pretty as mine."

Bai Tao felt familiar and looked in the direction of the voice.

What came into view was a tall and strong man, at least 1.9 meters tall.

Although he looked a little stronger, his friendly yellow skin gave Bai Tao a familiar and safe feeling.

Since there is only one compatriot here, it is highly likely that we will subconsciously communicate in a group.

"Hello, my last name is Bai, you can call me Bai12138."

Bai Tao stretched out his hand to shake hands while looking at the raven on the shoulder of the Sichuan and Chongqing strong man.

Just as the Sichuan and Chongqing strong man said, his raven is obviously much stronger than Bai Tao's, and you can even vaguely see the lumpy muscles.

This strangeness also made Bai Tao subconsciously look at other people's ravens. Sure enough, he found that everyone's raven seemed to be slightly different, and seemed to look somewhat similar to their owners.

"Haha, using the Raven number? Then you can call me Xu 9527."

The sturdy man from Sichuan and Chongqing held Bai Tao's outstretched right hand and smiled with a heroic look.

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Bai Tao asked in a very familiar manner: "Are there only these people here?"

"Some of them went to the outer platforms. I guess they've seen too much Harry Potter. They're trying to find out if there's a Platform Nine and Three Quarters."

Xu 9527 said this and pointed to the platform not far from the waiting hall.

There were a few people milling around some of the platform's pillars.

"It is indeed a bit strange that such a powerful and mysterious organization only recruits so few people."

Xu 9527 said this and couldn't help scratching his chin as he thought about it.

There were only a dozen or so people in the waiting hall of this abandoned train station at this moment.

"The deadline stated in the invitation letter is August 31st. During this period, there should be people coming here every day under the arrangement of the mysterious organization."

"He arrived a few days ago and should have been picked up by someone from the mysterious organization."

When Bai Tao heard Xu 9527's doubts, he also subconsciously analyzed it rationally.

"Anyway, since the meeting point is here, we should just have to wait patiently."

"Or maybe you think the mysterious organization is offering some kind of test, so you try to find the hidden entrance like those people."

Xu 9527 said this and pointed at the people on the platform not far away.

"The mysterious organization's academy has started recruiting students, and the gathering place is an abandoned train station. It's not surprising that they would associate it with Harry Potter."

Bai Tao shook his head and found a place to sit down.

He was not prepared to try it as he had not read much of the Harry Potter book.

Seeing this, Xu 9527 sat down next to Bai Tao, put his arm around Bai Tao's shoulders and asked, "What is the mental environment assessment given to you by your raven?"

“Zombies.”

Bai Tao spoke briefly and to the point, frowning as if he didn't want to recall the past.

The unrecognizable, foul-smelling man-eating zombies in that environment really left a deep impression on him.

"Zombies? That's pretty miserable for you."

"I felt an earthquake. It was a real shock. I didn't recover until long after the hallucination ended."

As Xu 9527 spoke, he couldn't help but recall the experience of desperately saving a mother and child in the illusion. That feeling was too real.

It was precisely because of this real illusion, and the huge power that was subsequently demonstrated, that Xu 9527 could not help but feel deeply curious about this organization that he had not yet joined.

This is the last one for today.

I will be busy writing my paper later. Time is tight these two days and I need to revise the paper.

Tomorrow we can only maintain normal updates, there will be no more explosive updates.

However, starting from the 25th, I will update you based on the data.
