Chapter 1402: The Dark Mysterious Train (Confrontation)

Car 7, connection.

Vermouth held the gun in one hand and stared nervously at the gunman in the smoke opposite her.

At this time, the injury on my shoulder began to ache slightly.

That was the place where I was shot by a sniper last time on Vauxhall Bridge in London.

Although Michael didn't do it himself, he still made her suffer.

Now seeing him again, Vermouth couldn't wait to pull the trigger and kill the man.

However, she also knew that since the other party took the initiative to appear in front of her, he must have made all the preparations.

"Why are you here?" Vermouth asked first.

"Why are you here? That's why I'm here..."

The man opposite did not hesitate to answer and directly stated his purpose.

This made Vermouth stunned, and she subconsciously thought she had heard it wrong.

But then he thought again, he had targeted Shirley during the full moon incident before.

The plan to infiltrate MI6 also failed, and it is foreseeable that they will come back to target Shirley again.

Therefore, Michael ambushed Shirley in advance and crouched down before she was ready to attack.

"Is it to protect that woman again?"

"She is clearly a traitor to the organization, but every time someone stands up to protect her fearlessly..."

Vermouth bit her teeth lightly, and her beautiful face became a little ugly due to the tangle of some emotions.

That emotion is a collection of many negative emotions such as jealousy, hatred, and pain.

In the smoke, Qin Zhibo saw the expression on Vermouth's face, so he asked.

"Why do you hate her so much?"

"hatred?"

"hatred……"

Vermouth repeated the word again, then his frown relaxed and he even chuckled.

"Hehe, it's not her that I hate, it's just that she must die."

"That's all..."

As soon as Vermouth finished her words, bullets spurted out from the muzzle of the female pistol.

Qin Zhibo subconsciously bent his body downward and fired back.

In an instant, a large number of bullets were fired at the connection between the carriages.

The flying bullets left behind trails of spiral smoke at the end.

……

Car No. 8.

In the corridor, Huihara Ai stared blankly, the figure of the man in front of her reflected in her ice-blue eyes.

Bourbon?
When she was still in the organization, she had heard this code name from her sister Mingmei.

The man code-named "Bourbon" in the organization is in an antagonistic relationship with my sister's boyfriend. The two dislike each other and are almost like water and fire.

Haibara Ai took a deep breath and didn’t really care which member of the organization would come to pick her up, as her ending would be the same anyway.

"so what?"

"Where are you going to take me as Vermouth said?"

"Or just execute me here..."

Haibara Ai stood there, calmly meeting Bourbon's teasing gaze.

Out of Vermouth's sight, she was able to face it calmly.

Bourbon looked at the girl in front of him and was surprised why his identity made her look stronger.

Did Qin Zhibo reveal his identity to her?
"Do not……"

"I will neither take you away nor execute you here."

Bourbon suddenly put away the signature bad guy smile on his face and looked at Haibara Ai with a serious expression.

With just a moment's change of expression, Bourbon switched from a villain to a seemingly righteous and upright character.

"I made some agreement with Michael and promised to help take care of you..."

"So I'll let you go."

Hearing this, Haibara Ai's expression suddenly froze, and her brain reacted quickly.

Michael is my sister's boyfriend.

But aren’t my sister’s boyfriend and Bourbon enemies?

"What... do you mean?" Haibara Ai asked quickly and vigilantly.

Bourbon walked towards the luggage compartment at the end of the train and said, "It means exactly what I said. I will let you leave here safely..."

At this moment, the sound of bullets hitting something came from the carriage behind the two of them.

Bourbon looked back and knew that the fight had already begun over there.

While Qin Zhibo and Vermouth were fighting, he needed to hide Haibara Ai in the luggage compartment and then blow up the connection.

In this way, the luggage car will stop on the railroad track as originally planned, and Haibara Ai can wait for the arrival of the follow-up police and be rescued.

Vermouth's original plan for him was to let him enter the luggage car as well, and use this method to escape from the Suzuki train with Shirley, and then take Shirley to another place for interrogation.

However, after he told Qin Zhibo the contents of the plan, Qin Zhibo thought that the real content of the plan should not be so simple.

Considering Vermouth's attitude towards Shirley, she would probably choose to kill Shirley directly on the train.

The reason why they wanted to blow up the connection and let Bourbon into the baggage workshop, Qin Zhibo guessed that Vermouth might want to kill Bourbon as well.

So, Bourbon conducted some investigations on the amount of explosives requested by Vermouth, and indeed found that the amount of explosives exceeded the original plan...

Popen came to the end of car 8 and opened the luggage door.

When I opened the door, it was pitch black inside and I could vaguely see a large number of suitcases stacked on the shelves.

Popen went to the luggage rack closest to the corner of the door and lifted the white cloth covering it, revealing a rather large bomb inside.

If this bomb exploded, not only would the people inside be blown to pieces.

However, at this time, the signal detonation module of the bomb had been disconnected in advance, so it could not be detonated by the detonator and became useless.

"Okay, come in, it's very safe in here."

"Stand farther away from the door later. I will blow up this connection and remove the entire carriage from the train."

"But don't worry, the police will find you later..."

Bourbon turned around and wanted to invite Haibara inside.

Haibara Ai's expression was full of vigilance, and her two little hands were clenched tightly.

Although she didn't know whether this Bourbon was one of her own, she still chose to believe her sister's boyfriend.

Besides, in her current situation, she couldn't resist the other party.

"it is good……"

Haibara Ai responded weakly, then walked calmly into the dark luggage compartment.

Seeing that Haibara Ai believed him, Bourbon showed a smile.

As long as Haibara Ai enters the carriage, she will be safe.

And he could tell Vermouth that he was attacked by an unknown person and didn't have time to enter the luggage car. Vermouth had encountered Michael before, so he would naturally attribute all the reasons for the failure to Michael and would not suspect that he was also an insider.

This is Qin Zhibo’s entire plan.

Ai Haibara walked slowly into the dark luggage compartment, and when she came to Bourbon's feet, she looked up at Bourbon again.

"How are you going to blow up the connection?"

Faced with the question, Bourbon smiled and took out a small C4 bomb from his pocket.

"This is enough."

Haibara Ai looked at the size of the bomb and thought that as long as she hid in the innermost part of the carriage, it would not affect her.

So, Haibara Ai continued to walk into the dark carriage.

Bourbon watched Haibara Ai walk inside obediently and prepared to place the bomb at the connection.

But at this moment, a figure suddenly jumped out from behind the luggage rack on the other side of the door, and a pair of hands grabbed the vest on Bourbon's shoulders from behind.

Before Bourbon could react to what was happening, he was dragged into the dim baggage room and the bomb fell on the iron floor at the connection.

There are others here!
Bourbon's brain reacted quickly, and he struck backwards with his right elbow, forcing the person behind him to retreat before his neck was strangled by the other party.

The opponent took a step back, and Bourbon took this opportunity to steady himself and made a standard boxing response posture.

Looking at the slender figure in front of him, Bourbon subconsciously asked.

"who is it!?"

However, the opponent did not answer at all. He suddenly jumped up on the spot and kicked Bourbon in the face with a high leg.

what!
Although Bourbon couldn't see the other person's appearance clearly, he could roughly see his body shape, and he could actually jump so high in such a narrow space.

Bourbon quickly raised his arms and crossed them in front of him, but was still kicked by the opponent and staggered two steps back.

What a strength!
Bourbon managed to steady himself after staggering, but the unidentified man had already appeared in front of him as quickly as a shadow.

These few meters of distance were inexplicably taken away as if through a space wormhole.

not good!

Bourbon saw the opponent approaching and subconsciously raised his arms to block, but the opponent punched him directly in the abdomen.

Although this punch does not have much charging range, the explosive power should not be underestimated.

Bourbon was knocked out of the luggage car by a punch, flew three meters away, and fell heavily in the corridor of car No. 8.

"Well……"

Bourbon whimpered in pain and tried to get up, but the sharp pain in his abdomen made his shoulders twitch reflexively and his scalp felt numb.

Two...three ribs are broken...

The severe pain caused Bourbon's eyes to be between open and closed, but he still forced himself to stare at the figure in the luggage compartment.

Although the opponent's figure is tall and thin, he seems to contain extremely terrifying power, and he exudes a powerful and oppressive aura invisibly.

This aura seems to have a tendency to materialize...

However, this person did not chase after him. Just like a vampire afraid of the sunlight in the carriage, he just stood there in the darkness of the luggage compartment.

There is a reflective spot where the head should be.

Who is he?

Bourbon moved his injured body backwards, trying to find a chance to stand up again, but the pain in his abdomen made him close one eye and temporarily postpone his plan to get up again.

At this moment, the door of compartment E next to him suddenly opened.

A man dressed in dark clothes walked out of the room, passed by Bourbon who was lying on the ground, and walked straight to the baggage room with big strides.

The moment the man passed by Bourbon, Bourbon raised his head to observe and saw an incredible moment.

Scotch whisky?!
That handsome face has become a little weathered after the baptism of time, and the neat short hair has been changed to medium-length hair, but Bourbon, the childhood sweetheart, can still be recognized at a glance.

Why is he?
Before Bourbon could react to what was happening, Scotch Whisky walked into the baggage workshop without hesitation and started fighting with the owner of the original figure in the workshop.

The two men exchanged punches and kicks, and each move unleashed potential energy beyond the limits of the human body.

That terrifying fist even turned into fist shadows, shaking the luggage racks on both sides.

Bourbon, lying in the corridor of carriage No. 8, opened his eyes wide in shock and even forgot the pain in his body.

He couldn't believe that two humans could actually engage in a physical confrontation of this level.

The two people in the car could not be called human beings, but rather monsters with human-like functions.

Countless fist shadows collided in the air, making crackling sounds.

If the fist shadow of either party slightly scrapes the luggage rack or suitcase next to it, it can easily crack iron or engineering plastic products.

At the same time, Huibara huddled in the innermost part of the luggage compartment, her body pressed tightly against the wall behind her.

She watched the scene in front of her nervously, and what she saw was even more exaggerated than Bourbon.

She even saw the outlines of the two people's bodies emitting a certain color, as if two colored stick figures were fighting at super high speed.

One is completely purple.

The other one was all blue.

Each move of the two men was so fast that it was impossible to analyze, and the power was so great that it could knock the surrounding objects off the ground or even shatter them.

Soon, the front half of the luggage compartment was turned into a mess by the fight between the two men. The luggage racks and suitcases were all smashed, as if they had just been swept by a tornado.

Suddenly, the purple figure kicked out suddenly.

The blue figure raised his arms and caught it steadily.

But in the next second, the purple figure supported the ground with one hand, keeping his body horizontal in the air, and kicked out with his other foot again.

The two bursts of force caught the owner of the blue figure off guard. He staggered back two steps and was kicked right into the connection between the carriages.

As he stepped back, he accidentally stepped on the button of the C4 bomb that Bourbon had just dropped at the connection.

beep.

beep.

The 3-second countdown starts immediately.
The owner of the blue figure frowned slightly and quickly fell to the side of carriage No. 8.

The owner of the purple figure turned around and fell to the side of the luggage compartment.

boom!
A huge explosion was accompanied by a burst of light and heat, and thick black smoke burst out from the connection between the carriages.

Amid the black smoke, the luggage car at the end of the train lost traction, slowed down, and gradually separated from the train in front that was still moving.

Bourbon, who was lying on the ground, turned around again, propped up his upper body with one hand, looked towards the connection of the train, and found that the luggage car at the rear was getting farther and farther away.

Just as he was thinking about the situation in that carriage, the man in front of him slowly got up from the ground.

He stood at the place where the train broke apart, looking at the luggage car moving away.

A few seconds later, the man turned around and walked back to Room E of carriage No. 8.

He smashed the train window with one punch and tried to get out.

Seeing this, Bourbon hurriedly called him.

"Hey!"

"You're Scotch! Right?"

When Scotch heard the code name, he turned around and glanced at Bourbon.

There was no emotion in that cold gaze.

Immediately afterwards, the man climbed out of the car window and suddenly disappeared out of the window.

Ignoring the pain in his body, Bourbon struggled to get up from the ground and stuck his head out of the car window to check, only to find that the man had completely disappeared.
