Chapter 30 Do you think I'm crazy?
Episode 30 Do you think I'm crazy?
Fu Lin is a man of hidden talents, calm and self-possessed. He is not only an excellent observer, but also has strong execution ability.
If the two really meet, he probably won't easily overturn the case. Instead, he will wait and see and wait for the best opportunity.
In contrast, Shang Hexing is cautious and good at observing people's words and expressions, but perhaps influenced by the comics, I always feel that his style of doing things tends to be unconventional. In addition, he is sensitive and suspicious. Although this is a plus point in the comics because he has never made any mistakes, to me, I feel that he can easily misinterpret other people's intentions, so he is more like an uncontrollable factor to me. If he really met Fu Lin, my logic told me that he would not take action immediately.
But I just couldn't believe him.
Therefore, now is not the time for the two of them to meet.
But I still need to follow An Qingyan's plan, bring them together, and use the protagonists' luck to change the outcome of the explosion.
From this point of view, I don't want the entire train to be unable to move because of the person looking for her fiancé.
She must not be allowed to discover the body before the train starts, otherwise the train will not be able to start.
If the train still fails to start this time, those who are planning it will not easily think that installing bombs on the train is an unreasonable task, because they have paid the cost - time and energy, and Fu Lin and his team have not suffered any hardship in this regard, so they will resort to the same old tricks again.
If you want to bring someone down, you have to tell him/her that he/she has failed in something that you thought was successful or that you were confident about, thus destroying his/her self-confidence.
If everyone can escape, wouldn't that be a casual way of saying "see, we didn't do a very good job after all".
This is bad.
That's good too.

The train platform is located at the central station in the city.
The train will actually enter the undersea tunnel after it starts and passes through Westgate three stations before it officially enters the sea.
In terms of functional use, it still prioritizes "tourism" services.
Since this vehicle is very expensive and is only used for trading and transportation, it is obviously unlikely to recover the cost within five to ten years. Therefore, the entire undersea tunnel train is like a luxury cruise ship, equipped with various entertainment and leisure facilities, and will also provide glass walls so that tourists can fully enjoy the ocean world.
Of course, in order to avoid the noise, vibration and light caused by the train running from interfering with the underwater life or destroying the marine ecosystem, the underwater train is designed to run in a special glass cover. The glass cover uses light absorption and noise reduction technology, which can effectively prevent light leakage and minimize the impact of sound wave propagation on the surrounding environment.
The total length is 256.54 kilometers, and in the middle there are two subsidiary islands next to the island city of Anubis: Pearl Island and Midway Island. The former is a leisure and entertainment island rich in marine resources and rich in pearls; the latter is a national bird sanctuary with strict bird protection measures. These are all tourist destinations for the holidays.
Therefore, the first train journey will last up to 5 hours, with time for passengers to get off the train and rest at the affiliated island. The later stage will be decided by the operating organization.
Although the train was scheduled to depart at 10 o'clock, most passengers had already found their seats and sat down before 9:30.
The comics do not mention where the girls are.
Not only could she help her fiancé book carriage No. 4, but she was also able to meet Shang Hexing who was in carriage No. 2 in front. According to this part's speculation, it seemed like the people were in the first four carriages. However, her clothes were very ordinary, very much like the undesigned wholesale clothes in the supermarket. Instead, she looked like the passenger behind carriage 4, and Shang Hexing met this woman when he was walking towards the back carriage.
There is something strange in this.
The comic says that she couldn't find anyone in compartment C of the fourth carriage. If he is not lying, he must have checked and that is why he said he couldn't find it. But she still wanted someone to help watch carriage C and go and ask together, which showed that this person was rather timid by nature and needed someone to help her build up courage before she could ask about the situation in carriage C.
But her action of holding Fu Lin didn't seem like she was socially anxious. Because if I were to ask someone for help, I wouldn’t dare to just pull them up directly.
Is it because Fu Lin looks more reliable?
Just like when a shy child meets an adult who looks friendly, will he be willing to hold hands?
I walked close to the window, my pace slowing down involuntarily as my thoughts stopped. In a trance, through the reflection of the window, I saw a young man with a ponytail.
Although I don't take the initiative to look in the mirror, I know that person is myself.
Now the person in the reflection has two silver earrings hanging on his ears, flashing a cold light. There was no trace of smile on his face, and there was a hint of rebellion and unruliness between his eyebrows. It was obvious at a glance that this man was not easy to get along with. I couldn't help but check my tongue a little towards the window.
Look, there is a tongue stud inside, he doesn't look like a very obedient person.
Who would have thought that I was like a child who had just grown a tooth. I knew I couldn’t touch the new tooth, but I always wanted to confirm its existence. Whenever I get bored, I'll want to touch the roof of my mouth with my tongue stud, either against my upper teeth or part of my soft palate. When I eat, I am afraid that food residues will remain at the tongue stud, so I can only choose to drink liquid food and avoid hard solid food.
I then thought of Jerry, whose unkempt blond hair and tattoos did make him look difficult to talk to.
So, I came to a very reasonable conclusion: because the woman saw how we were dressed, she thought we deliberately occupied her fiancé's box, so she needed someone to help. Otherwise, if someone is missing, you can actually just ask the conductor whether the person has boarded the train.
Wait, if you ask the conductor directly if a passenger has boarded the train, will the conductor tell you the passenger’s personal information?
Obviously not.
Or is this a planned "fishing trip"?
She didn't know where the person was, but she could put a little pressure on the conductor through her actions and help find the person?
As expected, the comics provide relatively little information.
I was just about to look away from the window when my eyes unexpectedly met with another person in the train corridor.
The man was tall and well-proportioned, with a well-defined physique beneath his shirt that revealed his disciplined lifestyle. His light-colored eyes stared at me like sharp swords. "You were the one outside the Central District executive condominium that night. Is this a coincidence? We meet here again." His voice was calm, but with a hint of oppression that could not be ignored.
My heart skipped a beat. It was a narrow road for enemies to meet on Shanghe Star.
Is this person chasing me?
Bro...don't do this!
I didn't say a word when you were peeking at my door.
This evil guy came to complain first.
I sighed inwardly and stared back at him unwaveringly, "What do you mean by that?"
I paused and said, "I don't think you sound like you want to make friends."
Shang Hexing didn't pretend to be friendly in front of strangers. He had an aura that couldn't be ignored. "What's your name?"
He looked sideways at me, his eyes narrowed slightly, the corners of his mouth raised in a faint arc, and he directly avoided my question, seeming to be unmoved.
I didn't want to have any more involvement with him, and I didn't think there was any need to respond, so I slowed down my pace and tried to walk away from him.
Shang Hexing took a decisive step and blocked my way.
I frowned, trying to respond to his aggression with silence, but I could clearly feel that he had no intention of backing down. His tough attitude showed that he had no intention of maintaining the gentle image of "Fu Lin" in front of outsiders.
In this tense atmosphere, a voice suddenly interrupted -
"Isn't this Mr. Fu Lin?"
It turned out that after seeing Shang Hexing, the passers-by immediately approached excitedly. But Shang Hexing kept looking in my direction with a consistent expression, and only when they began to appear in our peripheral vision did he shift his sight to the side.
Passersby who felt the chill retreated to the side. "You are working, so we won't disturb you."
I followed their fleeing figures for less than two seconds, and Shang Hexing's shadow was almost covering me. Being so close to him made me intuitively feel the burden he was bringing to me. He just reminded me coldly in a low voice: "I may know better than you where the restraints are hidden on the modified wheelchair. If you don't want me to call the police to report your illegal behavior, you'd better answer my questions truthfully."
As soon as these words came out, the equation "alarm means the train cannot start smoothly on time" immediately started to work in my mind. I only remembered afterwards that calling the police would only mean putting me in a detention center and I wouldn't be able to go anywhere, but the train would still depart as usual. I also realized that I only had the fixed mindset of "I am a good citizen and the police will not do anything to me."
At this moment, I was a little upset. In order to distance myself from him, I leaned back against the window and asked him calmly, "What do you want to ask me?"
"Mr. Fu."
I quickly reminded him in a rogue tone: "You are so nosy in many things, which is not good for you. Let's make concessions to each other. You want to have a good vacation here, and we are just doing our own tasks. If you turn a blind eye, it will be good for both of us. Otherwise, if you make us sad, you will also be unhappy, right?"
"We are desperate criminals, we can't do anything to you. But your friends, your classmates, the people around you, this range is very wide."
"Think carefully about what you want to ask me?" I spread my hands.
"Also," I took the opportunity to accuse him, "what kind of good family would wait so long at someone's door? I don't think you are that naive."
Shang Hexing had no sense of shame for his behavior and even took it for granted, "I was just passing by."
fraud.
I'll read the comics later, and if it says you deliberately spied under my house, I'll see what you say.
After Shang Hexing finished speaking, his eyes naturally stayed on my face, "What you just said answered my first question. You are indeed the person who appeared in the Central District. I believe you will not tell me the truth. But it doesn't matter. I am not interested either."
Shang Hexing got straight to the point, "Someone is watching me. Your box should have room for one more person, let me join."
I subconsciously looked out the window and saw the dense crowd of people bidding farewell and watching.
Today is the first day of soft opening.
The station did not have any obvious entrance and exit checkpoints, so people coming and going tried to walk along the cordon as much as possible, and occasionally poked their heads out to peek into the environment inside the train. However, the windows of the train still use a one-way perspective design, and people outside can only see their own reflections but cannot peek into any scenes inside the train. But even so, people who love excitement still enjoy it.
"What are you looking at?" Shang Hexing asked calmly, "Only a fool would just watch from outside."
Such harsh words are a slap in the face to me.
Because this person thought that I was looking outside to find out who was watching him outside. So, he scolded this simple act of surveillance, and also scolded me for thinking that surveillance was so simple.
I even felt refreshed because it was the first time I saw Shang Hexing revealing his true nature while wearing Fu Lin's shell.
It turns out that he was really well behaved in front of me before.
"Don't be so self-conscious. Am I worried about Anubis the Savior? I'm worried about myself. The people that Fu Lin has provoked are not something that someone like me can handle. What if I agree?"
I followed suit and said, "Can you check to see if I'm crazy?"
Most importantly, I won't put them in the same box.
Shang Hexing raised his eyebrows slightly, "So you're not stupid, then why didn't you notice the little movements made by the person in the wheelchair with you? He looks thin, but he's not really weak, and he's been trying to escape. So, you did it on purpose?"
“…”
I was about to ask him to mind his own business when a girl's voice lit up, "Excuse me, can you do me a favor?"
The conductor who was stopped nearby was already annoyed. “We cannot disclose the passenger’s information. Please return to your seat, lady, and wait for the train to depart.”
"My fiancé is missing and this means a lot to me!"
The conductor's attitude was not good either. He didn't even say polite words and said directly: "Missing cases are not our responsibility. How about I call the police for you?"
I responded to the word "call the police" and subconsciously looked in the direction, pushing Shang Hexing into the plot screen. The conductor was overjoyed when he saw "Fu Lin" suddenly appearing. "Oh, isn't this Mr. Fu?"
"The gears of fate have begun to turn."
I pretended to be the narrator of the comic, silently reciting the lines in my mind, and as I wished, I saw Shang Hexing glaring in annoyance because he received an inexplicable commission. The woman kept speaking lines from the comics, but I could clearly feel that Shang Hexing's attention was on me.
So I explained it carefully.
"My experience tells me that if you are really worried about being monitored, you should do more things that people think are meaningless."
"If you're afraid of being watched, doesn't that mean you have something to hide?"
I paused.
"Mr. Fu, you don't want a bad guy like me to know your secret, do you?"
Shang Hexing's eyes darkened and his thin lips were tightly pursed.
The moment I noticed that he was frustrated, I felt like I was super inflated and arrogant.
I took the opportunity to speak to the man, "We will definitely help."
Shang Hexing stared at me, "Who are we?"
"You and I."
I will be responsible for keeping an eye on Shang Hexing the whole time and chasing him away.
The plan is moving forward in a tortuous but steady manner.
