After seeing off the second batch of newcomers, Wen Duoduo and others seemed very happy.
In this way, they only had one side quest left to start the main quest. They had originally prepared to do a side quest over and over again, but they didn't expect it to be done so quickly. It was really a pleasant surprise.
Han Xinbo and others couldn't help but look at Ning Buwen with a new respect.
Even advanced players like them who have experienced several complex dungeons can't clear them as fast as Ning Buwen. When Ning Buwen faced these dungeons, his first feeling was not fear or saving his life, but thinking about how to clear the level. From this point of view, Ning Buwen's attitude towards this game is completely different from that of ordinary players.
Some people are born to survive in such a game.
And Ning Buwen is undoubtedly such a person.
"Grandpa Zhang, this Brother Ning is really amazing." Xiao Liu propped up his chin with both hands and said to Zhang Ziwen, "The captain wanted to find someone like this to join our team, but unfortunately the captain can't see it."
In a high-level exploration team like theirs, each member generally has corresponding responsibilities, and their abilities are also corresponding to their responsibilities. For example, Zhang Ziwen and Xiao Liu are basically responsible for the offense and defense of the team. Zhang Ziwen is extremely powerful and is an excellent helper in both attack and defense, while Xiao Liu has diverse abilities and is not easy to attract attention, making him a master of ambushes and sneak attacks. As for Han Xinbo, he is in charge of information collection, while the captain who died before and the other two team members are responsible for intelligence compilation and breaking through the barriers.
Although the Weiguang team did not suffer much damage in terms of combat power, it suffered heavy losses in terms of breaking through the barriers. Therefore, Ning Buwen's joining undoubtedly injected new strength into the current Weiguang team.
"It's not bad to join now." Zhang Ziwen smiled and touched Xiao Liu's head. "Useful people should do useful things. Since he is good at this, we should follow him and help him see if there is anything he missed. We can't put all the burdens on him alone. We should learn to help share the burden, understand?"
"Yes." Xiao Liu answered seriously.
They had trusted the captain too much in the past, leaving all the worries to the captain alone, which led to the tragic situation in the last instance. The captain is also a human being, and there are also creditors who cannot be taken care of. Their team left all the problems to the captain to solve, and they just followed orders. Sometimes, this kind of total trust can ruin a person.
Their previous experience is the best example.
"Buwen, you look more tired than before." Wen Duoduo was just feeling happy, but then he saw Ning Buwen almost couldn't stand up, so he quickly went to help him up, "Buwen, you are not sick, are you?"
"First, let's get off the train and rest for a while." Ning Buwen tightly grasped Wen Duoduo's hand, "We will stay at this station for twenty minutes, let's go out first."
"Okay." Wen Duoduo had no doubts and directly helped Ning Buwen out of the train.
As soon as he got off the car, Ning Buwen's mental state was much better.
Ning Buwen felt that his whole body felt much more comfortable. It was not like in the carriage, where it seemed as if something was pressing on his nerves. He clearly felt the danger but there was nothing he could do. He was under tremendous pressure and couldn't relax even if he wanted to.
Under such circumstances, how could Ning Buwen's mental state be good
But it’s much better now. Ning Buwen feels like a fish that has been released back into the sea, finally not so dry.
"No, you're not carsick, are you?" Wen Duoduo rarely saw Ning Buwen like this. "This is the first time I see you like this."
"I'm not carsick." Ning Buwen rubbed his forehead. Continuous pressure would make him more alert. "I just feel depressed."
"Depressed? I don't feel anything." Wen Duoduo touched his nose, "I am no longer a human being. Even if the air in the car is not good, I don't feel anything."
"Duoduo, isn't this station too quiet?" Ning Buwen suddenly raised his head and said, "There's no one here, and it looks very run-down."
After hearing what Ning Buwen said, Wen Duoduo immediately began to observe the surrounding environment.
This station looks very old. There are many stains on the ground, which may be difficult to clean. There is not even a train sign. It looks deserted.
Normally, such an old train station should have been abandoned long ago, but the train they were riding looked very grand and out of place in this station.
Apart from the group of new people who got on the bus with their tickets, there were no other passengers.
"Look, except for the third carriage we are in now, the doors of other carriages are not open at all?" Ning Bu Wen continued to ask.
Wen Duoduo looked out from afar and said, "Yes, our carriage was the only one with its doors open, and there was no attendant checking tickets. How strange."
"Can you find out if there is anyone else in this station?" Ning Bu Wen continued to ask.
"Okay." Wen Duoduo nodded.
Wen Duoduo took out a small knife and cut his finger. Blood dripped onto the ground and he soon turned into a little bat.
The little bat flapped its wings and flew away, and the wound on Wen Duoduo's hand had healed.
"Go." Wen Duoduo's eyes were faintly red, and he controlled the little bat to fly towards the surroundings of the station.
This is also one of the conveniences that Wen Duoduo obtained after becoming a vampire.
He can let his blood turn into bats to find out information for him, and he can observe everything around him through the eyes of the bats. Even if the bats die, the damage to him is just a little blood. Of course, the blood of vampires is different from that of humans and cannot be recycled, so it is better to save it a little.
The little bat flew around the station in a long circle but didn't see anyone.
It's strange, why is there no one here
Wen Duoduo continued to control the little bat to fly directly out of the station. Then, just after it walked out of the station door, the little bat seemed to hit something and turned back into its original blood, scattering in all directions.
"Ah." Wen Duoduo covered his eyes, "What the hell is that?"
"What's wrong?" Ning Buwen hurried to check Wen Duoduo's eyes, "What did you see? Are you okay?"
"I didn't have time to see clearly." Wen Duoduo shook his head, trying to make himself clearer, "I seem to see a road."
"Road? What road?"
"It's just a big road, but the color of the road seems a bit strange." Wen Duoduo rubbed his eyes, thinking about how to describe it. "Bats' eyes can't distinguish many colors. I just think the color of the road is very dark, but I don't know what it looks like. But it's normal to have a road outside the station. Maybe I'm just overthinking it."
This can't be overthinking!
"We're almost there." Ning Bu Wen suppressed his doubts, got into the car with Wen Duoduo, and returned to his seat.
That overwhelming feeling of oppression came back again.
This group of newcomers were particularly quiet. Almost all of them sat next to Han Xinbo and didn't talk much. They looked like nothing had happened.
strangeness.
Is it possible that their mission this time is to sleep in the car
Not to mention Ning Bu asked, Han Xinbo also found it very strange.
"Sir, sir." Han Xinbo said to everyone in the WeChat group, and then took the initiative to talk to a new player, "Sir, is this your ticket?"
Han Xinbo stole the ticket from the pocket of the new player and took this opportunity to strike up a conversation with him.
The newcomer was woken up by Han Xinbo in a daze, and seemed to be a little grumpy. "What's the matter?"
"Is this your ticket?" Han Xinbo said again in a good-tempered manner.
The newcomer opened his eyes and glanced at it casually, "Yeah, it's mine."
Then he put the ticket back in his pocket and fell asleep again.
The other newcomers were the same. They started sleeping as soon as they got on the bus and didn't pay any attention to anyone.
WeChat group.
Zhang Ziwen: It's so weird. This ticket is obviously a key prop. Newcomers will just hold it tightly and check if their ticket is there. How could they have such an attitude
Xiao Liu: Are they confused by the copy
Han Xinbo: I took a look and it didn’t look like that. It looked like he was just sleeping.
Ning Buwen: That's what makes it abnormal. This carriage is so strange that even if the mission requires them to sleep, they may not be able to sleep so soundly.
Wen Duoduo: Brother Han, you have to be careful when sitting with them.
Han Xinbo: Don’t be afraid, I’ll test it with my ability and then I’ll know.
Strangely enough, after Ning Buwen saw Han Xinbo type this line of words, the lingering feeling of suffocation came again, causing Ning Buwen to change from approval to opposition.
Han Xinbo's ability is naturally very useful in such a situation. As long as it does not involve branch dungeon tasks, Pandora will not prevent these advanced players from having contact with new players. Even if it really involves something, it doesn't matter. They still have one chance to violate the rules!
But at this time, Ning Buwen subconsciously felt that Han Xinbo should not be allowed to use his abilities.
He found an excuse almost immediately.
Ning Buwen: Wait, this is too risky. Why don’t you wait a minute. Brother Han, you go find the flight attendant as a policeman to check these newcomers and tell them that you think one of them looks like a wanted fugitive.
Han Xinbo: Okay, I’ll go find the conductor.
Very good.
Ning Bu Wen breathed a sigh of relief.
Hey, why should I feel at ease
Han Xinbo walked to the train attendant's lounge and repeated what he had said, which really attracted the train attendant's attention.
"Gentlemen, please show us your IDs. We need to check them." The flight attendants and crew came to the new players, woke them up, and asked them to show their IDs.
"I want to sleep!" a player shouted directly, "No one can disturb my sleep."
"Sir, I'm sorry, we're just checking, it will be quick." Seeing the passenger so excited, the train police and flight attendants became even more worried, thinking that he might really be a criminal on the run.
"Okay, okay, you mean the certificates, right? I'll give them all to you. I'll give them all to you." A new player laughed sinisterly, and then threw out several prop cards, all of which were indiscriminate attacks.
Han Xinbo, who was close to them, also had to pretend to dodge.
"ah-"
"ah-"
The passengers in the carriage all screamed. They obviously did not expect that someone would attack others in front of the flight attendants and police.
Han Xinbo thought about his current identity as a policeman and quickly rushed forward, trying to stop the group of newcomers by force.
It is clearly written in Pandora's life-saving manual that NPCs should not be attacked at will. This is a consensus among almost all players, let alone such a large-scale attack, which is totally unreasonable!
There must be something wrong with these newcomers.
Ning Buwen looked at Wen Duoduo and others, then rushed forward to help, trying to subdue these crazy newcomers first.
"I want to sleep, I want to sleep!"
"I will kill anyone who disturbs our sleep. Let's sleep together, together, and never wake up."
…
With the efforts of the train police and Han Xinbo, Ning Buwen and others, they finally tied up the newcomers. For safety reasons, they were locked up in the train attendants' lounge and not allowed to come out. When the next stop arrived, they were sent to take them off the train and find the police to pick them up.
"Thank you for your help." Han Xinbo pretended to praise Ning Buyen and the others. "We are short of manpower right now. Can I trouble a few enthusiastic passengers to help me watch over these suspects? I suspect they may have some kind of mental illness. They will need professional mental evaluation after getting off the bus. I am a little worried now, afraid that they will attack the passengers."
"good."
"Can."
Ning Buwen and Wen Duoduo looked like they were decent people, so the flight attendant had no objection and quickly agreed.
There are only one or two lounges in a carriage, and if we want to detain them in batches, we need to go through several carriages.
"I'll take this person to carriage number one to have a look." Han Xinbo offered, "Can you ask a crew member to come with me? I don't have the key."
"Oh, okay, okay." A female flight attendant nodded immediately. She seemed to be quite frightened, but now that she had a trustworthy policeman like Han Xinbo by her side, she felt more at ease. "I'll go with you."
Han Xinbo took a look at the female flight attendant and felt that she looked somewhat familiar.
"Have we met somewhere before?" Han Xinbo looked at her and asked.
"Haha, you're joking, Mr. Policeman. I've always been in Car No. 1. Oh, maybe you've seen me when I came here to sell fruit snacks." The female attendant replied with a smile.
That's right.
They had been in Carriage No. 1 before and might have seen this attendant, but the female attendant obviously didn't remember them.
Han Xinbo winked at Ning Buwen, signaling everyone to act separately.
Because this is the third branch copy, the carriage they are in has become carriage number three.
So what did carriages one and two look like before
They haven't checked it out yet.
But now it seems that I really need to check it out. Having a flight attendant here can make me feel more at ease, and I can also ask some questions.
Han Xinbo pulled the tightly tied newcomer forward, while the flight attendant led the way.
Carriage No. 2 was almost empty.
There were only a few passengers here, and almost all of them were women.
They looked sad, with red and swollen eyes, and it seemed that they had been crying, and there were occasional sobbing sounds.
When Han Xinbo was walking by with the newcomers, he found that all the female passengers were looking at him at the same time, as if they were hungry wolves seeing some fresh meat. Even Han Xinbo, who had experienced many hardships, couldn't help but get goose bumps.
The female stewardess continued to walk forward.
"Carriage No. 2 isn't full," Han Xinbo said casually, "Is it because the tickets haven't been sold?"
"Oh, Mr. Policeman, this is a common thing." The female attendant replied seriously, "Carriage 2 is specially for women. It is a special service launched by our train, so there are not many passengers. And we are now the starting station, and there will be more people at the next station."
Departure station
Han Xinbo was surprised.
That's impossible.
I have already completed two side copies, so this is the third stop.
Han Xinbo kept this doubt in mind and did not dare to ask any further questions.
Firstly, he didn't know if it would trigger anything, and secondly, the female flight attendant didn't look like she knew anything.
Soon, they arrived at carriage number one.
"The lounge is just ahead," said the female flight attendant.
There are far more passengers in carriage No. 1 than in carriage No. 2, and it is almost full.
This carriage is just too quiet.
Although there were only a few female passengers in Carriage 2, there was still some noise because a few women were sobbing. Unlike here, it was completely silent.
Han Xinbo escorted the newcomer all the way to the lounge. When the female flight attendant picked up the key to open the door, the newcomer, who had been quiet just now, suddenly began to struggle violently.
"I don't want to go in, I don't want to go in, I'm going to die, I'm going to die!" The newcomer's strength suddenly increased, "Anyone who enters the lounge will die, everyone will die."
"Calm down, calm down." Han Xinbo held the newcomer's shoulder. "If you don't want to go in, we can talk slowly."
Anyway, Han Xinbo's main purpose was to get information, so he didn't care whether the newcomer was locked up or not.
"I'm a police officer, sir. I noticed that you have mental problems, so I want to let you into the lounge. Can you tell me what happened? I'm a police officer and I will protect you."
Han Xinbo once again emphasized his identity.
"Police, police?" The newcomer seemed to have regained some consciousness. "The police can't help me, here... I..."
"Ah-ah-don't come over here, go away, go away!"
The newcomer started yelling again.
"Mr. Policeman, we can't let him keep shouting like this. You see, the passengers in car number one don't like noise." The female stewardess said with an unpleasant look on her face, pointing to that part of the car.
Han Xinbo raised his head and saw that the people in Carriage No. 1 had all stood up at some point, staring at the shouting newcomer with eyes as if they were looking at the murderer of their mother.
Being stared at by all these people like this, it felt extremely creepy!
"Why, why are they all standing up?" Han Xinbo looked at the female flight attendant calmly, "Please go and talk to the passengers. I will shut this gentleman up."
"Okay, Mr. Policeman." The female attendant nodded and turned to talk to the passengers in carriage No. 1.
The passengers in Carriage No. 1 then slowly returned to their original seats, but the sight was still a thorn in their sides.
Han Xinbo looked at the newcomer again and found that he had actually fallen asleep on the small berth in the lounge
These newcomers are so strange.
Why is it so strange
Han Xinbo picked up his phone and quickly told the story of carriages one and two and sent it out. Then he looked at the new player who was almost asleep and wanted to reach out and touch him hesitantly.
Perhaps, these newcomers have really discovered something.
"Mr. Policeman, it's time for us to go back." The female flight attendant's voice urged from behind.
Han Xinbo's intuition was not right.
If he just left like this, this newcomer might really die like this.
Maybe, not even a corpse will be left.
Should I use my abilities? Or should I not
Han Xinbo pursed his lips with a determined expression.
My ability is originally used to collect intelligence. The process of collecting intelligence is bound to be accompanied by considerable danger. How can I not collect it just because there are problems
Han Xinbo remembered a lot of things in an instant.
For example, what happened in the last copy, and the voices and smiles of the dead captain and team members, all kept circling in his mind.
Han Xinbo used his personal ability and said softly, "I'll check if this person's rope is strong."
As he said this, Han Xinbo's hand had already touched the new player.
In an instant, countless images flooded into Han Xinbo's mind.
Including how the newcomer checks the ticket and gets on the train, what their tasks are, and even...
Han Xinbo shuddered and cold sweat broke out immediately.
He must go back immediately and tell Ning not to ask them.
Han Xinbo forced himself to calm down and took out his cell phone from his trouser pocket.
Typing is too slow, it would be faster if he could just send a voice message directly.
As soon as my finger pressed the microphone button on the screen, the phone was snatched away by another person.
"Mr. Policeman, I forgot to tell you that you are not allowed to speak loudly in our carriage No. 1." The pretty face of the female stewardess seemed to overlap with someone at this moment.
Han Xinbo looked at her and felt that she looked very familiar.
The more I look at it, the more familiar it looks.
"Mr. Policeman, have you forgotten me?" The female flight attendant smiled and squeezed his phone out of shape. "Maybe you can recognize me in this state."
After saying that, the female flight attendant opened her mouth.
Inside, there was only half a tongue.
I remember it!
Han Xinbo's eyes tightened.
She, she is the girl with glasses.
Wasn't she taken off the bus
Han Xinbo knocked the female attendant aside with a punch and immediately ran towards carriage number three.
All the passengers in carriage number one stood up to block him.
They all opened their mouths at the same time, and all of them had no tongues.
