Returning from the abyss

Chapter 622
The reception of the Dark Sage came one by one, so Jean had already allocated the questions for everyone to ask, except for Alex—he must know Bingham's situation and Dorian's whereabouts.

What I asked myself was [the whereabouts of the Royal Insignia].The answer I got was that most of the royal badges were in the inner city. After all, the people who got the badges lived there. If you have the opportunity to go to their old residences, you should be able to find them.

Lian's question is "What kind of places are the Eternal Corridor, the Broken Mirror Ruins, and the Deep Palace Prison?"The answer is that they are all located in the inner city. The Eternal Corridor is located at the workplace of Manden, the predecessor of Nest. The Broken Mirror Market is a place to record supernatural phenomena built by Scarlet Embroidery, and the Deep Palace Prison is located under the capital.Among them, the Eternal Corridor may have been turned into a ruin now, and the Broken Mirror Market should continue to operate according to the order left by Feixiu. As for the prison in the deep palace, it is guarded by "Army Shield", and even he does not know what is inside.

Finally, Yuan Jie asked [if we take the rotary train tomorrow, what kind of large-scale events will we encounter].

This question is one of the most cunning ones set up. Everyone knows that asking about the future cannot be done lightly. Yuan Jie even left a guarantee of "tomorrow" for this question, and the answer given by the dark sage Yes—"No matter what time you take the train tomorrow, you will encounter the hellish bombing incident of the rotary train."

As for the content of this incident, the dark sage did not say, he just said that this was one of some time disasters that Vera had not had time to solve back then.

Rang's arrangement is to find out all the most important things about the follow-up characters, and the purpose is very clear.After they finished speaking, everyone's eyes were on Zhu Qinyuan. She was the only one who chose the questions by herself without any arrangements.

"Where is the king?" Zhu Qinyuan said concisely.

"The dark sage seems to have difficulty answering questions about the king." Lu Ning was a little suspicious.

"Yes, he told me that he wanted me to change the question. This question may not be answered, and it may even carry a heavy mission. But the more he said that, the more curious I was about what I could get. Answer."

Zhu Qinyuan raised his lips and smiled: "In the end he gave me the answer... he or his treasure. The king did not abandon his kingdom, and the king is still on the throne."

"Then... at least it's a guarantee." Jean nodded, "Then what is your mission?"

"Mianjun." Zhu Qinyuan shrugged, "It sounds like a mission that is difficult to judge."

A few days later, everyone packed their bags, went to the supplier early in the morning to replenish some necessary supplies, and then went to the station where the three of Gies met.

This station is not an ordinary route to work. Dacapo has set up many platforms that bypass the peak section. Of course, it is not impossible to take the bus here.

It turns out that the stations of the rotary trains are nothing special either.There is only one platform building that is not too big. You can wait for the train by buying a ticket from the ticket inspector here. After passing through the small door leading to the platform, a simple station like a rural station is presented to everyone. before.

Jisi, Zaowei and Shao have already waited here at the station, and they have also changed their outfits. Everyone is wearing gold and black combat uniforms, carrying backpacks on their backs, and hanging them in several styles. Weapons, everyone's face is in a state of facing an enemy.Seeing a group of people like Lu Ning, Ji Si and Shao both looked a little ugly, but they didn't raise their hands to say hello.

"Good morning! We'll be leaving in a while!"

"You look happy."

"It's a day to be happy, and a day to be unhappy. It's an adventure." Zao Wei said with a smile, "But there are so many of you?"

"There are quite a few passengers on the rotary train." Zhu Qinyuan glanced at the platform, "Why are we the only ones?"

"The train will come here from the departure station. There are few people in this place, so I agreed on this place." Keith said with a sullen face, "It would be too weird for us to get on the train with a group of office workers dressed like this. .”

"How many stations does the rotary train usually pass before encountering a major incident?" Lu Ning asked.

"There is no exact number, but we must wait until the train leaves the outer city." Geese pouted, "The route of the rotary train is not consistent with the normal means of transportation. If you are lucky, you may run through all the outer cities and you may not encounter large event."

Just as he was speaking, a siren sounded in the distance.A rather ancient green locomotive approached quickly from a distance, and white steam was continuously ejected from the chimney of the front, which looked like a steam locomotive.However, the same old-fashioned style of carriages dragged behind the train stretches very long, which is beyond the capabilities of ordinary steam engines.

"Car No. 17." Lu Ning glanced at the ticket.The train quickly passed the platform and stopped the NO.17 car on the platform. Amid the sound effect of steam release, the door slowly opened, and the space inside was not small.

"It's different from what we saw in the illusion." Jean said.

The train compartment in the illusion is like the layout of a large passenger plane, with three rows of seats and two aisles, and the seats of the passengers are relatively dense.But this carriage is in line with the ancient style of the train. Every two rows of seats are facing each other, and there is a small table in the middle.This will of course reduce the number of passengers, but Dacapo probably doesn't care about it at all.

The only modern thing in the whole train is the advertising screens on the front and back of the carriage.Since there was no seat number on the ticket, the group chose an unoccupied seat and sat down. Lu Ning, Yan Rong, and Zhu Qinyuan still sat opposite to Ji Si, allowing several people to occupy another pair of seats.

After being seated, the train started slowly again. Lu Ning looked around. There were only two rows on the left and right, with a total of sixteen rows of seats. Each bench seat can seat three people, so the passenger capacity of the carriage is 96. , the number of passengers here is obviously not that much now.

"Sit for the first time?" Shao asked the first sentence. He was rather impulsive, but he remembered it after suffering a loss. At this moment, he would not easily provoke Lu Ning, and his attitude was quite peaceful.

"That's it."

"Heike is also quite unfortunate."

Yan Rong laughed: "At least we have gained a longer life."

"If the price of not dying is to fight monsters like butchers, I'd rather have normal birth, old age, sickness and death." Shao shook his head.

"The butcher... scares you so much?" Lu Ning didn't have anything to say, so she started chatting.

"Can't kill is the biggest problem. For you, they are just things that can be killed with a few more cuts, but for us, no matter how you kill them, they will follow your nightmare for life-this is our biggest difference." Shao curled his lips, "Of course, I only had this experience after fighting a butcher."

This Lu Ning also admitted that a butcher is like a beast to Hei Ke. There are dangers, but they can be killed with weapons.However, for ordinary people, they can't be killed no matter what, and they will smell the beasts that have been following you to find opportunities to attack.

"Then what about you guys? The team of Yoshimitsu Katayu seems to have some background, now you can always say who is your boss?" Yan Rong asked quite bluntly.

Everyone was speechless.

"If you have the ability, go and meet yourself." Geese refused, "Don't try to coerce us, this is the bottom line, the boss is willing to meet you because you are a little special."

"It looks amazing." Yan Rong folded his arms.

"Going off topic." Zhu Qinyuan coughed lightly, "This is our first time taking a rotary train, why don't you introduce it to us?"

"In short...you also know that the essence of this train is to divert disasters to the east. It is to involve large-scale incidents elsewhere so that they will not happen in a very fatal place. If we keep taking the train and aim at the terminal, sooner or later we will Caught in a bizarre incident. If you can successfully get out of the incident, then congratulations, the terminal is just around the corner. If you fail, then those who are still in the car will be reverted to the time when they just boarded the car, no matter whether they live or die Yes." Shao said.

"So in fact, this car probably doesn't know how many times it started?" Lu Ning concluded.

"Calculating how many times is meaningless." Zao Mi explained softly, "For the rotary train, it has no beginning and no end. It will always travel on the timeline, unless it reaches the terminal. Of course, the train must reach the terminal. Station—it's a theory of time, I don't quite understand it, but that's about it."

At this time, the train stopped again, and some people got on the train again. Lu Ning glanced at it and was a little surprised. Liu Yunqing was actually among the passengers, and some of the people around her should be her companions.

"No matter what time we board the train today..." Jean's voice came over, "Do you remember? The time of this train itself is not normal. It is different from the dreamland where Lian Bisheng got the treasure. That train The people on board were sacrificed, but the time flow of the car itself was normal."

"Yes." Lu Ning replied, her gaze still following Liu Yunqing.She sat in an empty seat with five other people, and did not notice Lu Ning over here.From the look on their faces, these people were under a lot of pressure. Liu Yunqing also looked nervous, and kept looking out the window after sitting down.

"Acquaintance?" Yan Rong whispered in Lu Ning's ear.

"We met once, but we talked more happily."

"Then let's join forces depending on the opportunity." Yan Rong said with a smile.

"Um……"

Soon there were many passengers in the carriage, and the seats were almost full. There were only a few empty seats. A whistle sounded, and the train set off again. This time, the speed increased rapidly, and it left the outer city in the blink of an eye.

The scenery of the wasteland whizzed past in his eyes, and he even felt a little dizzy after watching it for a long time.Soon, some flight attendants came into the compartment and began to sell some snacks and drinks. Yan Rong bought three special drinks and waited for the event to arrive.

Suddenly, two young men stood up in the back seat of the car, reached out and took out a miniature submachine gun from their briefcases, and pointed at the people in the car: "Everyone, don't move!"

No one said a word.

Seeing that no one responded, the two of them immediately became bolder, and one of them said loudly: "We don't want too much, I can see that you all have some good things on your body, if you hand over [-] things each, we will let you go! "

"These two robbers are quite self-controlled, but they don't want all of them." Yan Rong laughed softly.

At this time, there was a coughing sound from the seat next door. It was an old man.The young man was interrupted by the sound of coughing, and immediately turned his gun in dissatisfaction: "Old man, be quiet!"

The man next to the old man stretched out his hand to open the backpack. This action made the young man even more angry. He immediately shouted: "I tell you not to move around! What do you want to do? If you look through your bag again, I will—"

Chi.

A throwing knife pierced the barrel of the gun, and cut it forward along the barrel until it reached the place held by the robber. He screamed and threw the submachine gun away, and the gun fell to the ground and immediately turned into a pile Components.The man who turned over the bag took out a bottle of pills from the bag, gave the kidnapper a cold look, and then poured out two pills for the old man to take.

"How do you say it?" Lu Ning asked Yan Rong this time.

"It's just a throwing knife, nothing can be seen. But the two kidnappers are probably not the weakest in this carriage."

Yan Rong also made a joke.

At this moment, Lu Ning glanced at the upper carriage from the corner of her eye—the interior decoration of this retro-style train uses a lot of wood, and there is an obvious black spot on one of the wooden decorative beams, as if a bullet The hole is average.

"Yan Rong, just now... no bullets went off, right?" Lu Ning narrowed her eyes.

"They didn't shoot."

So why are there bullet holes?Could it be that something happened in this compartment before?Or did something really happen and the train turned around and didn't undo it? Is it possible for Dacapo to make such an imperfect turn?
——Hell combo?
A temporal event, but in what way was it triggered?After asking others to share what he saw and heard in the illusion train, Lu Ning had some preconceived ideas that every major event would happen vigorously, and the danger would hit your face, making it impossible for you to ignore it.

"what?"

Keith, who was sitting across from him, raised his arms, rolled up his sleeves, and looked at his arms suspiciously.There was a clear bloodstain on it, just to the extent of scratching the skin, but Geese obviously just felt it, so he was puzzled.

"Are you injured? What happened?" Shao asked with a frown.

"No, I didn't feel anything at all, just a sudden tingling in my arm...Damn it! Be careful!"

It was someone who had been on the train, and Keith was stunned for a moment and then immediately realized it, but even if he reminded him, everyone didn't know what to be careful about.

"Ahhhhhhhhh!"

Someone in the other seat jumped up violently, yelled in pain while holding his arm, and blood could be seen flowing from between his fingers.No one saw how he got it, even the two robbers looked puzzled.

"It's the hell bomb." Zhu Qinyuan said in a low voice.

"Can you see it?" Lu Ning turned her head and asked her.
