Dorothy's Forbidden Tome

And when the man opened the door and walked out of the room, he felt a chill in his chest. After looking down in astonishment, he saw a knife stabbing out of his chest and heart.

"Well……"

The man wanted to shout something, but a big hand covered his mouth and nose from behind. His eyes widened and he fell down, losing his vitality. The envelope he was holding fell to the floor, and was caught by that hand. pick up.

Chapter 160 Eight Trains

In the afternoon, on the vast central plain of the Priet Kingdom, among the endless fields, long railroad tracks traversed the connection, and the giant steel beasts drove the steel wheels, spewing thick smoke and roaring on the railroad tracks. Gallop toward the distance.

Carrying a full load of passengers, the long train is traveling at extreme speed on the track, rushing from one end of the country to the other.

In the first-class carriage near the head of the train, in a well-decorated private room for one person, Dorothy was sitting on a soft sofa, sipping coffee and looking out the window at the field scenery flying by, her expression flickering. A little boring.

"Ugh... I've been on it for a day and a half, and I expect to stay for another day before arriving at the station, and I have to stay for a while..."

Sitting on her own seat, Dorothy yawned while stirring the coffee in front of her with a spoon in boredom.Igwent is located in the southwest of the main island of the kingdom, and Tivian is located in the east of the main island of the kingdom, facing the sea, so the train that Dorothy took basically spanned the entire Puri from the starting station to the terminal station. The main island is more than 800 kilometers in terms of straight-line distance.

Because the speed of the trains in this era is not very fast, the repaired rails are also very convoluted due to terrain restrictions, and the need for refueling and mechanical inspections requires a long stop time, so Dorothy's journey will take a lot of time. It took nearly three days to reach Tivian, and this was already her second day in the car.

In order to cope with the boring journey, Dorothy originally prepared some books to read slowly in the carriage, but what made her lose her mind was that, as a proficient, her reading speed was a bit too fast. After arriving in the private room, she finished reading it in a short while, and then she could only stare at the scenery outside the window in a daze for the rest of the time.

'It's really a boring journey, but fortunately, the private room has a good environment, with a sofa, a table and a bed. It would be too uncomfortable if there were only seats. '

Thinking like this, Dorothy, there are three types of carriages in this train. The first-class carriages like Dorothy have separate private rooms with complete facilities.The second-class car has long rows of hard seats, many people sit side by side, and a car can accommodate many people.The third-class carriages didn't even have seats at all, it was just an empty carriage with some hay and rags as cushions, and the inside was crowded with the most people, the environment was very bad, just a few big shacks.

The fare for a first-class carriage is ten times that of a second-class carriage, and dozens of times that of a third-class carriage. It costs three or four pounds. Not many people can afford it, and the vacancy rate is usually very high.For the sake of Dorothy's safety, Greg gritted his teeth and bought a first-class carriage for Dorothy. His monthly salary is only 23 pounds, which is not a small price for him who usually concentrates on saving money to buy a house. up.

Although this amount of ticket money seemed like sprinkles to Dorothy, when Greg gritted his teeth to buy the ticket, she didn't offer to take the initiative to pay for it, because she couldn't explain where her money came from?

Just as Dorothy was sitting in a daze in her private compartment, the conductor's shouts were heard from the aisle outside the carriage.

"Ulster! Ulster is coming soon! Ladies and gentlemen getting off at Ulster, please get off! Pack your bags! Ulster, Ulster is coming! Please have... ..."

"Ulster?"

In the private room, Dorothy, who heard the conductor shouting in the aisle, was stunned for a moment, then she tilted her head slightly and thought about the place name, remembering that she had read it in a book, a city in the middle east of the Priet Kingdom , the volume is said to be larger than Igwent.

'We have already arrived in Ulster, so it proves that we are not too far away from Tivian. If we sleep tonight, we will probably be there tomorrow morning or at noon. '

Recalling the map Dorothy had seen before, Dorothy thought so, and then began to look out of the window curiously, watching the buildings gradually build up on the rapidly sweeping fields, waiting to see the upcoming city.

……

Ulster, a city in the central and eastern part of the main island of the Priet Kingdom, is bordered by mountains in the south and plains in the north. It has a large-scale agriculture and forestry industry and provides food and timber for other areas of Priet. It is a relatively important city in the center of Priet city.

At dusk, on the platform of Ulster Railway Station, a large number of people are standing here, quietly waiting for the arrival of the train from afar. Most of them are going to the capital Tivian.

Among the crowd, there is a man, he looks about 20 or [-] years old, with a fair face, without a trace of stubble, wearing a dark blue jacket and gray trousers, wearing a short hat, carrying a belt Holding a solid wood suitcase with a password lock, looking at the watch while looking at the direction of the train on the track, waiting for the arrival of the train, his eyes looking into the distance of the track are very energetic, as if he can see the gushing water in the distance Billowing smoke.

This man's name is Sodod, he belongs to the Ulster Security Bureau, and he is a Extraordinary. Now he is carrying out a mission, a transportation mission with the goal of Tivian, so he is about to set foot on The one coming, the train to Tivian.

Time passed, and soon, the humming of the steam train came from far and near, and the giant steel beast that had started to slow down slowly entered the station and stopped in front of the platform.

After the train came to a complete stop, the doors of each carriage were opened one by one, and the passengers whose destination was Ulster got off the train one after another. Get on the bus.

Just as Sodod was about to lean up to get on the car, suddenly, he seemed to feel something staring at him, Sodod immediately turned his face and looked in the direction from which the sense of surveillance came, but except for the surge Nothing could be seen beyond the moving stream of people.

"Illusion?"

After muttering, Suo Duode didn't think about anything, but took the ticket and continued to walk towards the stopped carriage. After the conductor checked the ticket, Suo Duode got into the train carriage very smoothly.

For the sake of safety, Suo Duode bought a ticket for the first-class carriage. After getting on the train, under the warm hospitality and guidance of the conductor, Suo Duode came to his private room.

"Sir, it's almost time for meals. Do you want to eat in the dining car? Or order in your own car?"

After guiding Sodod to the private room, the conductor said, Sodod put his coat, hat and luggage on the sofa in the private room, thought for a while, and then spoke.

"Let me go to the dining car, please show me the way."

"Ok."

After speaking, Sodod left the private room under the guidance of the conductor, and not long after they left, a white-skinned human hand came out of the wall of the private room strangely, and slowly touched the person who was placed on the sofa. lockable suitcase.

Chapter 160 IX Detection

At dusk, among the wide fields of Ulster, the steam train not far from the station is slowly accelerating.

In the first-class compartment, somewhere in a private room that swayed slightly while the train was moving, a pale-skinned arm stretched out from the solid wall of the private room, reaching for the coded suitcase peacefully placed on the sofa.

And just when that arm was about to touch the suitcase, hurried footsteps suddenly sounded from the aisle outside the private room, although the door of the back private room was slammed open.

"who is it!"

Sodod appeared at the door, holding a pistol in his hand and shouting at the inside of the private room. However, everything in the private room was normal, without the slightest figure or abnormality. Seeing this scene, Sodod frowned slightly.

"No one...is it really an illusion?"

Frowning, Sodod stepped forward, picked up the password suitcase on the sofa, walked out of the private room, and walked towards the dining car.

And when his figure disappeared at the end of the aisle of the carriage, a pair of eyes opened silently on the iron roof of the carriage, looking indifferently towards the direction where Sododd disappeared.

After eating in the dining car, Sodod didn't stay for a moment, and returned to his private room with his suitcase, then sat on a separate chair, and put the suitcase on the table in front of him , and then just sat still, watching the suitcase and the figure passing by the window.

Gradually, the dusk and sunset gradually disappeared, and the night slowly came, and the light both outside and inside the car window gradually dimmed.

Seeing the dim light, Sodod turned on the gas lamp on the table in the private room, then took out a book from his pocket, and read it quietly by the light of the gas lamp.

As the night gradually deepened, Sodod seemed to feel a little drowsy. He began to close the book in the suitcase and closed his eyes, and began to sit on the chair and take a nap.

And just as he started to doze off for a long time, a shadow suddenly appeared out of nowhere on the floor behind him, and a figure in black clothes and a black mask slowly rose from the shadow, standing on Sodo Germany behind.

Then, the humanoid figure stretched out his hand towards the suitcase on the table, intending to remove the closed book on it to take the suitcase away, but when he was picking up the book, the book A small bell pressed by the lower cover rolled to the side, and made a crisp jingle when it fell to the ground.

Then, Sodod suddenly opened his eyes, he immediately stood up on his seat, drew his gun and pointed it behind him.

"do not move!"

Looking to the back, Sodod said loudly, but his original vigilant expression turned into astonishment, because there was no one behind him at this time, and at his feet, at this moment, the object that had just been dropped was falling. Lifted suitcase.

'It's a Extraordinary... an Extraordinary with some hidden ability! '

Seeing this scene, Sodod realized that he had been targeted by other Extraordinary, and the other Extraordinary had the extraordinary ability to quickly hide himself!

Realizing this, Sodod began to concentrate. Gradually, a halo of light began to appear on the edge of his pupils. The scene in the private room became extremely clear, and his spirit was greatly concentrated.

Sodod is an apprentice-level "Lamp" Extraordinary, and a very senior clairvoyant, so he knows that there must be other Extraordinary playing tricks in the current situation, and it is very likely that it is a shadow, so He wants to use the extraordinary detection vision of the "lamp" to find out the other party!

Apprentice-level "lamps" have excellent eyesight and can always maintain a state of high concentration. After consuming spirituality, they can activate extraordinary vision, and can see clearly the scenery one kilometer away. Within eight meters, they can Seeing the extraordinary traces of people or things can tell whether a person is ordinary or extraordinary.

After concentrating, Sodod began to look around the private room after starting the Extraordinary Vision, trying to find the hidden Extraordinary, but he did not find any trace after patrolling for a long time.

At this moment, behind Sodod, a shadow appeared on the wall of the box, and then, a black-clothed figure emerged from the wall, holding a dagger and stabbing Sodod, but because of the "lamp" Sodod, who was highly concentrated, sensed the movement behind him, and hurriedly pointed his gun at the direction where the black figure was attacking.

However, the speed of the figure in black was obviously much faster than that of Sodod. Facing the gun pointed at, the sharp dagger quickly cut off the fingers of the right hand holding the gun, and the pistol in his hand fell directly. On the ground, Sodod also cried out in pain.

"Originally, I didn't plan to kill people to cause trouble, but you asked for it yourself."

Whispering, the figure in black clenched the dagger in his hand again, and stabbed at Sodod's vitals. Sodod's eyes widened, and then his left thumb wiped the dagger worn on his left index finger. ring.

In the ring, an exquisite small mechanism was triggered, which contained a "cup" of spiritual storage and a small piece of condensed and microwritten bio-spell seal. After the mechanism was triggered, the storage and the seal were printed together. On Sodod's finger, Sodod activated the life suffocation.

After activating the life ghoul, Sodod's physical fitness increased several times at once. He quickly dodged the dagger that stabbed at his vitals. Although he succeeded in not being hit at the vitals, he was also cut open in the chest and abdomen. , blood spewed out immediately.

"Well!"

Covering his wound with his injured hand, Sodod wanted to swing his other hand to fight back at the black-clothed figure, but the opponent's speed was too fast, and after a successful blow, he escaped into another wall along with the shadow disappeared.

The space in the train carriage is narrow, and the distance between the walls is not wide. For this kind of Extraordinary who can escape into the wall, this is an extremely favorable terrain. Under this terrain, Sodod did not win possible.

The counterattack failed. After seeing the opponent's ability with his own eyes, Sodod realized that the crisis could be coming from all directions, and then he decisively took out something from his waist and threw it on the ground.

This is not a Extraordinary item, but a smoke bomb.

Accompanied by the sound of "bang", thick white smoke suddenly spread into the entire space, and rushed to the aisle outside. There was a thick smoke billowing in the private room for a while, making it impossible to see clearly.

Sodod knows that now only by blocking the opponent's vision, so that the opponent can't find the target when he goes out of the wall, can he escape.

Taking advantage of the thick smoke and clutching his wound, Sodod immediately escaped from his private room, and then used his raw physical strength to run wildly in the corridor filled with white smoke, and finally hid in the bathroom on the car.

"Huh...huh...huh..."

After closing the bathroom door, Sodod, who was holding his wound, leaned against the wall and looked at the mirror in front of the sink. On the mirror, his complexion had begun to turn purple, and he had begun to appear dizzy. Clothes, took out the trauma medicine and bandages I carried with me to stop the bleeding, but found that the blood that flowed out was a little black.

'On the knife...poisonous...'

After understanding his situation, Sodod immediately felt a burst of despair. He knew that he might not survive.

Now he can still move instead of lying on the ground waiting to die, basically relying on the "cup" of life to strengthen his body and hang him.

His life sting is specially made, and it can last longer than normal ones, but it won't last long. Once the effect of the life scorpion is over, he will probably be gone.

'Damn it...you can't just give it to that guy...even if you die, you have to bite off a piece of his flesh! '

At this moment, Sodod's heart was full of resentment, and now he wanted to make a final gamble with that Extraordinary who was obviously higher than himself.

And if you want to fight him desperately, you must find his location!

With weak strength, Sodod pulled out a papyrus talisman from his clothes. What was drawn on this talisman was the symbol of "lamp".

Putting the seal on his body, Sodod activated the seal with his own spirituality, and suddenly, his sensing ability spread out beyond the physical barrier!

The area clearly sees the seal, this is the name of this type of seal, it can ignore physical isolation, and forcibly detect all extraordinary traces within a radius of 50 meters of the user, whether it is a person or an object!

Sodod closed his eyes, consumed his own "lamp" and began to detect, but he didn't detect anything, Sodod knew that this was normal, and the Extraordinary of "Shadow" can consume the accumulated "Shadow" spirituality Against extraordinary detection, this is the common ability of all main "shadow" extraordinary people. If you want to detect them, you must force their spirituality dry.

So, Sodod, who was already dying, began to invest more of his own "lamps" desperately, intending to break the opponent's concealment, but it seemed to be completely useless, Sodoud still couldn't detect anything, The spirituality of the other party seems to be richer.

However, Sodod didn't give up, he put more lights into the detection, and finally... after consuming an unknown number of "lights", he finally detected an extraordinary trace within the range of perception.

However, to his surprise, this trace...doesn't seem to be from "Shadow".

Chapter 170 Last Words

"Huh...huh...what the hell is going on?"

In the cabin of the Mercedes-Benz train, in the small bathroom, Sodod sat on the toilet, feeling stunned at the perception results he had spent a lot of "lights".

After consuming a lot of "lamps", Sodod finally sensed the extraordinary existence near him, but to his surprise, it was not the "shadow" or the color of the "shadow" he was looking for.

In the perception of the Extraordinary of "Lamp", other Extraordinary's have a specific color, and the "Shadow" is black, but the Extraordinary being perceived by Sodod this time presents a strange purple color. An unseen purple.

'This...what's the situation?What kind of Extraordinary is this?Could it be, could it be that guy is not 'Shadow', no, this strange Extraordinary is very far away from me, at least there is still a car away from me.

'Well, that guy has such a strange ability, he is definitely not an apprentice-level 'shadow', he should be a black earth... My 'lamp' can't compare to his 'shadow', so I detected it It should not be him, but another type of Extraordinary, and there are other Extraordinary on this train! '

In a short period of time, Sodod cleared his mind, roughly confirmed the current situation, and then had an idea in his mind.

'Now... that's all I can do...'

……

Above the dark wilderness, the steam train continued to roar forward, because suddenly there was a lot of white smoke, the train crew thought it was a fire somewhere, rushed to put out the fire, but when they opened the window to disperse the white smoke, they felt strange. It was found that there was no trace of fire at all, and the private room where the white smoke money originated was now empty, with nothing in it, and the suitcase that had fallen on the ground had disappeared at this moment.

In the private room of a first-class carriage near the head of the train, Dorothy, who was originally resting on the sofa and bored, looked curiously at the train conductor running up and down the aisle of the train, feeling a little doubt in her heart.

"Did something happen outside? Could it be a fire?"

Dorothy murmured like this, and after worrying for a while, she saw that neither the alarm bell rang nor the train slowed down, so she thought in her heart that this was probably not a big deal.

'It should be fine... Forget it, let's go to bed after sitting for a while. In this era, you can only sleep so early without a mobile phone to play. '

While thinking about it, Dorothy looked at the ring of obscurity passed down from her mother on her hand, and checked the spiritual condition inside. She would check the spiritual condition of the ring almost every half a day or so , in order to confirm whether it was inadvertently illuminated by some extraordinary ability to detect shapes.

Although so far, Dorothy's Ring of Obstacles only works when Buck House resists the detection of a wave of hunters, and it doesn't work at other times, but just in case, Dorothy will still use it every day. Regularly check the spiritual condition in the ring.

Originally, Dorothy thought that the ring should be the same as before, with the spiritual state inside intact, but this time after she checked it, she froze in place.

Dorothy, who was sitting on the sofa, found that the "shadow" in her ring of obscurity was gone at this moment, and the 2 points of "shadow" she had originally stored in the ring were gone at this moment. left!

'How is this going?I was detected by what extraordinary ability?And the 'shadow' is all consumed in one go, there is no 'shadow' in the ring, does this mean that I may have been detected? ! '

Looking at the condition of the ring on her hand, Dorothy thought in amazement. At the same time, her body immediately became vigilant. She looked around, trying to check for any abnormalities around her. is already in danger.

'My location may have been exposed, there may be other Beyonders on this train, I must take measures. '

While thinking, Dorothy took out her magic box, opened the lid and enlarged the entrance, took out the corpse puppet ring from it, put it on, and began to control the corpse puppets stored in the magic box. Wearing a windbreaker and a top hat, the corpse puppet with deep eyes and high nose climbed out of the magic box and stood in Dorothy's private room. This was Edric the corpse puppet.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door of Dorothy's private room, and Dorothy looked at the door of her own private room. It was obvious that whoever was outside that room was probably the Extraordinary who had detected her!

Realizing this, Dorothy quickly got under the bed by herself, lying motionless underneath, then manipulated Edric to draw out her pistol, came to the door, and asked.

"who is it?"
