The first episode of the original novel has several obvious plot points.
The first is that "Sifangchuan Changpu" came to the steam forging factory to find someone to repair the gun.
The person in charge introduced the protagonist "Ikoma". "Ikoma" showed his dissatisfaction with the samurai who only dared to point their guns at civilians, which left a deep impression on this young lady living in a boudoir.
The second is the entry into the "Iron Castle".
In order to protect a civilian with an unknown wound on his body, the protagonist "Ikoma" took the initiative to stand up against the gun-wielding samurai, attracting the attention of the heroine "Mumei" who had just arrived from "Iron Castle".
The third is the arrival of "Fuso City"...
On the same night, another train "Fuso Castle" arrived on time. The "Xianjin Station" that had been stable for a long time was so numb that it did not notice that the other train had turned into a "Kabane Express" and tried to raise the suspension bridge again.
It was too late, and as a result, the entire "Fuso City" column broke through the city wall, and rushed into the "Xianjin Station" with a whole car of Kabane.
Now we know from "Loach"'s mouth that the first two nodes have appeared, which means that the fall of "Xianjin Station" is imminent.
"Loach, I suddenly remembered that I have something else to do and I need to go out for a while."
Luo Jie secretly winked at the succulent plant and the red cactus. The two understood and immediately stood up to follow.
"Hanaryusai Glass" was very knowledgeable and did not ask. Instead, he walked to the corner by the window and lit a pack of cigarettes as if nothing had happened, and looked thoughtfully at the dotted lights under the mountain.
There is no curfew in "Xianjinyi".
Despite this, due to the lack of public lighting and entertainment facilities, few people come out at night, and most people go to bed early as soon as it gets dark.
Working at sunrise and working at sunset are a reflection of the daily life of the lower class people in this post city surrounded by Kabane.
Most of the guards were transferred to the station to guard against the approaching "Fuso City". The attention of the sentries on the watchtower was also focused on the movements of Kabane outside the wall. No one noticed the people running through the criss-crossing lanes in the city.
Luo Jie and three others.
The running succulent suddenly raised its head, looked towards the west side of the city gate, and said: "I seem to see white smoke coming from the train outside the city. We may not be able to witness that big scene in person...
..Brother Nightmare, should we split up now and try our best to protect the main NPCs in the original work?"
"No, it's too late."
Luo Jie threw out the door-like black sword "Lucifer" from the storage space. He couldn't help but pick up the red cactus beside him without any mental preparation. He jumped on the sword and instantly turned into a bright meteor that cut through the night sky.
"Hey, hey? What are you going to do to me?"
"Don't move, it will be fine soon!"
Looking at the tail light that had turned into stars in the distance, the succulents were immediately dumbfounded.
"Hey? Brother Nightmare, take me with you too!"
The straight-line distance of nearly a kilometer can be reached in the blink of an eye at "Lucifer's" speed.
In order to prevent the light of the "Hot Wind Operation" magic circuit from attracting the attention of the people below, Luo Jie turned off the magic output when he flew over the city gate. With the help of the triple jump ability of the magic guide [Flying Stone], he hugged the flaming red cactus as if going down the stairs.
After several consecutive leaps, he landed steadily in a corner where the light could not reach.
At this moment, a worker was flipping the switch under the supervision of the gunman. The piston of the small steam engine reciprocated and drove the winch under the transformation of gears and levers. The suspension bridge connected by two thick steel cables slowly lowered through a gap.
"Fiery Red, release your puppet, let "Xiao Zi" cover "Iruri", and freeze the internal components of the winch!"
"What?" Fire Red Cactus didn't expect Luo Jie to play such a big role, and said in surprise: "Are you going to kill the entire plot directly? Then we will lose the advantage of knowing the plot well..."
"It's too late to explain, just do as I say!"
Seeing Luo Jie's resolute attitude, which could even be said to be tough, the flaming red cactus simply gritted his teeth and summoned "Flower Doll - Xiaozi" and "Snow Doll - Iruri" from the storage space. According to the
Luo Jie ordered to go down.
"Xiao Zi"'s magic circuit "Eight Clouds" can block and affect the senses, making it absolutely invisible to creatures without special sensory organs.
With the perfect cooperation of the two dolls, the inside of the winch was frozen into a solid lump of ice without anyone noticing. No matter how pressurized the steam engine was, it could not move even half a minute.
The heavy suspension bridge was also stuck there.
"Damn it! The winch is out of order!" The worker was sweating profusely.
"Fuso City will be here soon, why not hurry up and fix it!"
The gun-wielding samurai urged anxiously on the side. If the train was delayed into the city, even if it was not his responsibility, he would be jointly and severally punished.
"I don't have any tools at all right now! Even if I did, I wouldn't even be able to open the outer shell in such a short time!"
The gun-wielding samurai also knew that now was not the time to pursue the responsibility. He glared at the worker bitterly and shouted to another samurai behind him: "Quickly notify the watchtower to send a signal to "Fuso City" and ask them to stop the emergency!
"
Not long after, the tallest watchtower above the city tower lit up with flickering lights.
However, there was no response from the "Fuso City" side, nor did they show any intention of slowing down. They continued to head toward "Xianjin Station" at full speed with billowing smoke, without even sounding a warning siren.
"Wait... don't rush to release the suspension bridge yet. The situation in "Fuso City" doesn't seem to be right."
At this time, someone finally noticed something strange about the train coming from a distance, and then several flares rose into the sky. Everyone on the city saw the densely packed Kabane clinging to the front and carriages.
"It's Kabane! "Fuso City" has been occupied by Kabane!"
The out-of-control "Fuso Castle" finally reached the broken bridge. This time, because the suspension bridge was not lowered like in the original work, the entire train flew directly off the tracks and crashed into the cliff below the city gate under the dual effects of inertia and gravity.
The fire twisted and fractured, and the explosion of the steam engine sent the kaban clinging to the surface flying.
Rumble——!
The next dozen or so carriages also fell downwards driven by the front of the car, smashing crookedly into the fast-moving moat, floating on the water with bubbling sounds, and Kabane kept floating out from the opened doors.
.
Seeing this horrifying scene, the workers and warriors in front of the city gate swallowed their saliva in unison, feeling a chill on their backs, and their clothes had already been soaked with cold sweat.
so close......
If the suspension bridge winch hadn't "happened" to malfunction, I'm afraid the entire "Xianjin Station" would have been reduced to a living hell.
"Hurry up and report to Mr. Sifangchuan! In addition, find out who the worker was who did the last maintenance of the suspension bridge. He must be rewarded heavily!"
In front of the city gate, hundreds of workers and warriors, under the command of the team leader, carried out follow-up follow-up work according to procedures.
Luo Jie and the Fire Red Cactus also quietly escaped from the city gate due to the invisibility ability of "Flower Doll Xiaozi", and rejoined the belatedly arriving succulent plants on the street outside.
The succulent plant looked towards the city gate behind Luo Jie and the flaming red cactus, and asked breathlessly: "Um...that loud noise that sounded like an earthquake just now, was "Fuso City" rushing in? Why didn't I see it?
To a Kabane?"
The flaming red cactus glanced at Luo Jie beside him and said in a nonchalant tone: "Night Dire asked me to stop the suspension bridge from falling. Fuso City didn't rush in and plunged directly into the river."
"Huh?" The succulent was shocked and asked the same question as the red cactus, "If you can't enter "Fuso Castle", the male protagonist "Ikoma" can't turn into Kabaneri, and neither can "Iron Castle"."
Let’s go, won’t all the subsequent plots be gone?”
"Yes." Luo Jie smiled and nodded.
The red cactus rolled his eyes, and the succulent touched his nose and smiled bitterly: "Brother Nightmare, how can you say it so easily? In order to create an advantage for yourself, it's okay to make partial changes to the plot. You just let it go all at once.
The whole story ended before it even started, and then we were blinded, right?"
At this moment, the three of them have reached the halfway point of the mountain. The deserted open space in front of them is covered with green grass and variegated wild flowers. From a high position, they can just take in a panoramic view of half of the "Xianjin Station".
Luo Jie walked to the edge of the cliff, looked at the brightly lit station and steam forge at the bottom of the mountain, turned around and said to Succulent and Red Cactus: "Let me teach you an extra lesson - if you encounter the kind of person who is passive and passive from beginning to end,
If the original plot is unfavorable, the best way is to destroy the original plot from the beginning and give up foresight in exchange for the initiative to control the situation."
"In other words, was you planning to stop "Fuso City" before you came here?" The red cactus still couldn't understand Luo Jie's mysterious operation, "But by doing this, you seem to have lost your original purpose -"
If "Xianjin Station" had not fallen, "Iron Castle" would never have been able to reach "Kingang Guo", and it would be impossible to meet "Tian Bird Beautiful Horse". Don't you still need the bottle in his hand that can cure Kabane virus?
"White blood plasma"?"
"Even if we follow the plot, we may not be able to meet the "Beautiful Birds and Horses"." Luo Jie held up his palm, and a "Guan Hu" shrouded in black mist flexibly wrapped around his arms and climbed to his shoulders.
, "If you have abilities such as "spiritual vision", you can see that I have a "Guan Fox" in my hand. This is my detection spirit beast... On the way to the city gate,
I released the "Guan Hu" and headed to the castle tower on the top of the mountain. Do you know what I found?"
"What did you find?" The succulents and red cacti suddenly whetted my appetite.
"There is no "nameless" and no "Ikoma" there."
Hearing Luo Jie's words, Succulent Plant and Fire Red Cactus looked shocked at first, and then their expressions became more solemn.
In the original plot, the heroine "Wu Ming" entered the "Xianjin Station" with the arrival of "Arbitel Castle" during the day, and was received as an envoy by the city lord "Sifangchuan Kenjiang".
The male protagonist "Ikoma" was punished for both crimes by interfering with Kabane's inspection and secretly hiding Kabane's internal organs that were cleaned from the gap in the wheel. He was imprisoned in the castle tower waiting to be dealt with.
They knew that there was no need for Luo Jie to lie. Since they did not see the male and female protagonists "Ikoma" and "Unknown" in the castle tower on the top of the mountain, it meant that even if they did not interfere with the plot tonight, the original plot had already happened.
Unknown changes.
"Is it another butterfly effect caused by players? I thought it wouldn't affect the Japanese country halfway around the world..." Succulent muttered to himself while holding his chin.
The red cactus looked at him with disdain: "The fact that you can say this proves that you still don't understand the true meaning of the word butterfly effect."
"That's exactly it." Luo Jie concluded: "There is almost no long-distance communication in the world of "Iron City", and the railways on the island extend in all directions. Under the influence of the butterfly effect, we can meet the "Tian Bird Beautiful Horse"
The probability is very low, but the possibility of encountering the "black smoke" of the Kabane group is very high."
"I believe you should understand that the halo of the protagonist in the fantasy world not only does not shine on the players, but sometimes it may also be a talisman for the players who are traveling together... Therefore, instead of driving a group of old and weak people in the "Iron Castle"
If the sick and disabled go to the outside world to try their luck, it is better to find a way to get "Tianniao Meima" to take the initiative to come to "Xianjin Station" to find us."
At this point, the succulents and the red cactus have a general understanding of Luo Jie's purpose.
"I understand, I understand, but now there is only one question - what should I do to make "Tori Meima" take the initiative to find this place?"
