Chapter 1600 The Secret That Was Almost Discovered (Subscription Request)

Seeing the conductor being so polite, Gu Xi felt a little embarrassed.

However, when we go out, we give each other face.

Since the conductor gave him so much face, Gu Xi couldn't just throw his face on the ground.

Although the conductor misunderstood his meaning, Gu Xi still thanked him and went to the bathroom at one end of the carriage.

When passing by the conductor, Gu Xi asked naturally.

"How long will it take us to reach the Firstborn City?"

"It should take about two days. Don't worry, passengers. We are a passenger and cargo train and we won't stop on the way."

Gu Xi glanced at the coffins in the carriage and nodded seriously.

You say these are goods, so be it.

Gu Xi, who didn't want to say anything more, squeezed past the conductor and strode towards the bathroom.

When Gu Xi came out of the bathroom, the conductor had just checked near Gu Xi's seat.

Gu Xi simply didn't go over, intending to wait for the conductor to check everything before going over to sit down.

But at this moment, the conductor holding the lamp suddenly looked very ugly. He looked back at the seal on the coffin again, as if he was confirming something there.

Gu Xi was shocked.

No way.

He didn't move a thing.

No one would intend to blame him for this.

Gu Xi's expression turned serious.

Gu Xi is always very careful when he goes out, for fear of encountering something that he cannot explain.

At this moment, Gu Xi's eyes narrowed, and he watched from a distance with his arms folded across his chest.

If this conductor really wants to do something wrong, Gu Xi will let him see his attitude.

At this time, the conductor also raised his head and looked at Gu Xi.

Seeing that Gu Xi's expression was obviously not right, the conductor hesitated for a moment, but finally he walked up to Gu Xi and asked a question.

"Are you a necromancer?"

When the conductor came over, Gu Xi was startled. He didn't know why the conductor asked this.

The conductor said quickly, "Don't be nervous. I'll just ask about the situation."

"Yeah, I'm a necromancer, what's the problem?"

Although Gu Xi didn't understand what was going on, he wasn't the kind of person who was so timid as to say nothing. Facing the conductor's questioning, Gu Xi became even calmer.

The worst that can happen is a war.

If a war really breaks out, Gu Xi has never been afraid of anyone.

When the conductor heard this, he quickly said, "So that's how it is, Mr. Gu, I'm so sorry that they made the arrangements without knowing it clearly.

How about this, I'll talk to my superiors and arrange a better seat for you later?"

Hearing this, Gu Xi was also stunned for a moment.

"Can I ask why?"

"It's not very convenient to say this, but don't worry, when we arrange a new location, it will definitely be better than here."

The conductor didn't want to explain the reason at all.

However, Gu Xi frowned, and he understood the current situation to some extent.

The conductor will arrange a new and better seat for him, definitely because of the funeral supplies in front of him.

Thinking of this, Gu Xi couldn't help but tilt his head.

Gu Xi's small action also caught the attention of the conductor, "Mr. Gu, please don't think too much. This time there was a problem with our arrangement. We will arrange a better seat for you now."

As he spoke, the conductor took a step forward, as if to block Gu Xi's sight. Gu Xi immediately realized that there was something wrong with the body in the coffin.

The conductor who led the way earlier said that the body contained in the coffin would be sent to Changzi City to be used as casting material.

In order to maintain the vitality of the corpse, they performed some processing on it.

Gu Xi didn’t care much about it before.

Every necromancer has his or her own way of dealing with corpses.

And it's not just the necromancers who need corpses. Swordsmiths and architects also need corpses when performing living sacrifices or pounding living stakes.

Gu Xi had heard about this situation, but he didn't grasp the details very well.

Since these corpses would not affect Gu Xi, Gu Xi naturally would not think too much about it.

But now when the conductor in front of him reminded him, Gu Xi knew that the problem was with these corpses.

Without even thinking about it, Gu Xi understood that it must be the aura of the undead that he emitted when he was studying and reading that stimulated the corpse placed in the coffin, causing some strange changes to the corpse.

Now is just the beginning of the changes, and things are still under control.

But if Gu Xi has to sit here for more than two days.

Unless Gu Xi stops studying, as long as he studies, the undead aura he emanates will stimulate the corpse, and eventually lead it to mutate.

If this continues, the situation will become very bad when they arrive at Changzi City and deliver the goods.

So when the conductor discovered the problem for the first time, he thought of a way to solve it.

Solve the people who cause problems.

Gu Xi here will cause the corpse to mutate, so move Gu Xi to a carriage without a corpse.

Of course, because this requires Gu Xi to change his seat temporarily, the conductor is no fool, so he naturally has to arrange a better seat for Gu Xi.

Otherwise, Gu Xi would not do such a thing.

In order to appease Gu Xi, the train attendant seems to have to spend a lot of money.

Gu Xi just turned his head and understood the conductor's reaction.

He didn't think much about it and said, "Sure, I just feel uncomfortable sitting here, let's change seats."

Hearing Gu Xi's words, a hint of happiness flashed in the conductor's eyes.

"That's great, I'll take you there now."

The conductor said as he led Gu Xi out.

In his mind, he really wanted to lead Gu Xi to another place.

And play a song like "Send Away the God of Plague" to get rid of the bad luck.

If Gu Xi were to stay here any longer, he would suffer a great loss.

And the loss is not the most important thing. The most important thing is, what if Gu Xi gets bored and communicates with the corpse in the coffin, and accidentally finds out their secret.

This route can bring nearly 200,000 yuan in revenue to each member of their train crew per trip.

This is the foundation for them to survive in the Yuanzu City.

No one can resist money, and no one would think of leaving Yuanzu City.

Therefore, the train attendants dare not be careless at all.

At least he didn't dare let Gu Xi stay here any longer.

Although Gu Xi didn't understand the conductor's mentality, he could see the conductor's current expression.

After thinking for a while, Gu Xi put forward his request.

"By the way, I want a seat by the window this time. At least I can see the scenery outside."

"Well... OK, no problem."
