The vents finally have flowing air, and the smell is much better.
The carriage was heavily armored and the speed was not very fast. Ji Xun estimated that the speed was only fifty or sixty kilometers per hour.
You shouldn't be killed if you jump out of a car.
At this moment, Car No. 15.
There's a lot of people here.
For treasure hunters who risk their lives to make money, there is no better way of entertainment than gambling and women.
"Come on, come on, one more flower card and I'll have twenty points!"
"Blow the banker! Blow the banker! Blow the banker!"
"..."
A table was cleared, and dozens of hunters gathered around the table to play poker games in full swing.
The game was playing cards, a bit like blackjack in a previous life.
Among a group of gamblers, Ji Xun, who was wearing a half-face gas mask, was also placing bets.
If you lose money, you will curse a lot; if you win money, you will get excited and blush.
Regardless of whether they know each other or not, gamblers will quickly become familiar with each other as long as they are gambling.
He originally had no interest in such low-level gambling.
Being so involved in participating, in addition to wanting to be a part of the crowd, the most important thing is to hide the fact that I have no seat and no companions, so as not to be noticed by others.
While Ji Xun was gambling, he observed his surroundings and arranged some preventive measures.
.......
It's very noisy in the carriage.
In addition to dirty jokes, these hunters also have a lot of useful information.
Ji Xun also listened with great interest.
"Old Chen, I heard that you went to the eastern suburbs of Devil's Crossing a few days ago and found an abandoned warehouse and made a fortune."
"Oh, I can't say I'm getting rich. It's just that when I go back this time, I have enough money to buy a better breathing method for my kid..."
"..."
"Uncle Dong, have you found the materials for your [Law Enforcer] sequence job transfer?"
"I found one, it's pretty good. You can change jobs after you go back."
"Then congratulate Uncle Dong in advance for becoming a spell card master. You will have to take care of your little brother in the future."
"It's still early. Only when you don't lose control after fusion can you officially advance to the Spell Card Master."
"..."
"Scar, I heard that your Iron Ax Group produced a devil's mark of rare black iron quality in the extra-dimensional space in the East District yesterday?"
"Tsk, tsk, you are quite well informed. [Ace of Hearts - Bright Knight], the mark has a top-notch entry that adds an additional 15% of flesh and blood growth."
"Hey, there are additional entries? This is awesome."
"It's not too impressive. Just after returning to the camp, the steward of Haisen Chamber of Commerce gave me a small million and took it away."
"Fuck!"
"Hahaha..."
"..."
These hunters talked about their cave exploring experiences in Devil's Crossing and revealed a lot of information.
Ji Xun listened silently and learned more and more about the world.
...
"How the hell are you going to find this!"
The old dog walked from the No. 1 carriage all the way to the back. While searching, he complained crazily in his heart.
His demon mark is [4 of Spades - Beast Walker], the contract points to the great demon Osei, and his career sequence also has the ability to transform into a beast.
Although the image of the dog-headed beast is not very powerful, it gives him a sense of smell that far exceeds that of humans.
Because of this ability, although he was not very effective in combat, he successfully found a position with a fixed salary in the Blackwater Mercenary Group.
On weekdays, I mostly do some reconnaissance and tracking work, which is not too dangerous.
Originally, the old dog was already satisfied.
But this task really gave him a headache.
Looking for a man and a woman among thousands of people on the train?
I'm looking for something special!
The more sensitive your sense of smell is, the more you will suffer in this train.
After just searching for eight carriages, he felt like he was almost dizzy from the stench.
Ordinary people can only smell stench, but after transforming, he can carefully distinguish a hundred kinds of stench from the stench. What about the smell of fermented meat scraps stuck between the teeth in his mouth, after not taking a shower for several days?
The smell of body odor, the smell of shit on shoes, the smell of putrid virus infection...
The key is that there is only one aspect of the smell.
There are other troubles!
Who in the Innocence City doesn’t have some secrets?
There are too many cruel corners.
Even though their Blackwater Mercenary Group has some respect, if they really offend those guys, they will still get beaten.
Fortunately, the only information that is considered accurate is that the other party is a card master apprentice.
This can also narrow the scope to a large extent.
The old dog felt like he was going to be smoked to death.
It took two hours to drive these eight carriages. Along the way, he encountered many suspicious people, but after investigation, they were all suspicious.
There are eight more carriages!
But several other teammates also visited the carriage many times, but found nothing, and the team leader became more and more anxious.
Cursing secretly, he did not dare to complain and continued to search.
Finally, we reached the fifteenth carriage.
.......
Ji Xun was still among the crowd gambling enthusiastically.
Naturally, he also noticed that in the past few hours, there were several groups of people passing by, all of whom seemed to be secretly looking for someone.
But without exception, those people ignored Ji Xun in the crowd.
There are estimated to be four to five thousand people in the entire train, and there are also many lone travelers. How could it be so easy to find myself who has become one with the gamblers?
It has not been found yet, which means that the other party does not have much information.
It sounds like this train will take ten hours in total, and it will be much safer if we get off the train in a few hours.
Ji Xun also breathed a sigh of relief secretly.
He chose carriage 15 because it was near the rear of the car.
He had already observed that if he could get the key from the train conductor, he could open the back doors of the sixteen carriages and have the possibility of jumping off the train.
The armor of the steam train is very thick, but the locks are not as complicated as the previous doors in the 407 extra-dimensional space.
Ji Xun did not steal the key, but only glanced at it a few times. The photographic memory brought by [The Trickster] easily remembered the exact structure of the key. While gambling and going to the toilet, he had already copied it.
Give me a temporary key.
Now that I have several preparations in hand, I have room to deal with it even if I am discovered.
Ji Xun was not careless and continued to observe his surroundings.
The carriage was still noisy, but as he listened, he suddenly heard a story that came to him.
...
"Hey, have you heard that something happened at the camp in the extradimensional space [the old Silver Moon Altar] two days ago?"
"Why haven't you heard of it? It was said that the old smokers found an altar and found some ancient relics. Some people wanted to embezzle them, and then they killed all the thirty people in the entire camp... The Hunters Guild also
There is a reward of 100,000 yuan for clues to the murderer."
"I have heard different versions. It seems that the man came into contact with ancient relics, lost control and transformed into a monster, and then went on a rampage and killed people. It is said that dozens of corpses in the camp were chewed up. If it was not aberration, who would
Why are you chewing on the body after killing someone for nothing..."
"In other words, an ancient relic really appeared at the Silver Moon Altar?"
"Seems to be."
"Oh, any level 1 relic is worth hundreds of thousands. If you really encounter a high-level relic, you won't have to worry about it for the rest of your life. Why don't we have that luck..."
"..."
During the few hours of riding in the car, Ji Xun had heard several similar stories about teammates taking risks in the wild and cheating on their equipment, or about killing people and stealing goods.
Stories like this happen almost every day, and hunters don't think it's a strange thing to kill people and buy goods.
The law of the jungle is the keynote of the Sinless City.
Even more than how many people died, they were more curious about how much the relics were worth.
Ji Xuncai gradually understood why the Cao family in the Governor's Mansion could not stop calling for trains, and the restraint was so low.
It's not the power in this world that has a problem.
It's the people in Innocence City who have a problem.
...
When others heard the story just now, they just lamented that it was a relic.
And Ji Xun suddenly caught a key word in his mind: out of control?
After fusing [joker] before, he also has a special ability, that is, he can sense the out-of-control spells on living things.
A normal person's spell power is like body temperature, which is constant.
Usually nothing can be seen with the naked eye.
Even if someone occasionally shows it intentionally, it will still look like a uniform flame.
And just before he got on the train, when he was observing several nearby carriages, he discovered a guy in the rear carriage of No. 16 who was full of spell power and was very irregular, like "octopus tentacles".
After Ji Xun saw it, he paid more attention.
Only then did we confirm that the guy would leak out irregularly every once in a while.
Ji Xun suspected that this might be the so-called "out of control curse".
Normally, if the magic power is out of control, it will become a monster.
But the strange thing is that the guy didn't.
This made Ji Xun even more curious and he paid more attention.
He previously thought it was due to his lack of knowledge and misunderstanding of loss of control.
But after hearing the story about murder and robbery, he felt that the guy was getting more and more suspicious.
right,
Just suspicious!
With this assumption in mind and then adding conditions, more problems were immediately discovered.
The guy chose to be in the end car of No. 16. He was originally a very inconspicuous ordinary passenger.
But now Ji Xun felt that this guy might have the same plan as him, to make it easier for him to jump out of the car.
Also, there are very few people walking around at the rear of the carriage, so if someone comes here on purpose, it is easy to identify.
But this guy happened to choose a corner position facing the front of the car.
It is inconspicuous, but the field of view is extremely wide, and you can see all the people coming and going.
Many coincidences put together are no longer coincidences.
There are various signs that this guy has a strong sense of counter-reconnaissance.
Then there’s the story I just heard.
Although there were thousands of people on the train, the man who lost control of the curse was the only one.
Ji Xun suddenly understood: Could this guy be the guy who kills people and sells goods?
Think about it, the possibility is quite high.
The only way to leave Devil's Crossing Camp is by train, and it only comes once every two days, so it's not surprising to encounter one.
At the same time, if the two of them were both passers-by, it wouldn't be surprising to meet them at the back of the carriage.
When Ji Xun thought of this, he instinctively thought of something else.
But before he could think about anything else, something strange happened suddenly.
Suddenly, a tall, thin guy with a hood covering his face appeared in his eyes.
This guy wasn't walking fast, and his hood was shaking slightly, as if his facial muscles were moving regularly.
When Ji Xun saw this guy, he immediately became alert.
Smell?
A superhuman being with an enhanced sense of smell?
However, he remained calm and continued to gamble among the crowd.
Even if you are really looking for someone, you may not be able to find yourself.
The hooded guy didn't seem to notice anything and walked straight over.
...
Not long after, it was Car No. 13.
The four-man reconnaissance team of the Blackwater Mercenary Group all looked sad when the three of them met.
They had been searching for several hours and found a few suspected persons, but after checking, they found that they were not the people the group was looking for.
"Boss, is it possible that no one is in the car?"
"Whether he's in the car or not, we have to look for him. The regimental leader just sent a death order. It's going to be a big trouble if he can't be found this time!"
"How big?"
"Go and see me."
"Hey...what's going on?"
"I can see clearly now. I'm afraid it's not the leader who is anxious, but someone else."
"oh?"
"Who do you think is paying our current salary at Blackwater?"
"You mean...the Cao family in Shangcheng?"
"..."
The more they chatted, the more they felt that the situation was not good.
And at this time, the rosacea suddenly came back.
The strong man hurriedly asked: "How's it going, old dog? Have you found anything?"
The old dog took off his hood, revealing his dog's face that was gradually turning into a human form, and reported: "Boss, we found something! It's in Car No. 15!"
When the three of them heard this, they all looked over.
The old dog continued: "When I went over, I found a special smell in the crowd. It was the devil's smell that can only be left behind by corpses in B-level disasters or above. The smell was very light, and it should be that [deodorizing potion] was used recently.
】. But the irritating smell is still there. It’s obviously not long after the contamination, most likely not long after coming out of the extradimensional space. But there are many people in carriage 15, and the smell is too mixed. I’m not sure which one it is. I just think it should be
He was one of the people playing cards. I was afraid that something might happen to me, so I came back first."
"Good job."
Hearing this, the three strong men looked happy.
Intuition told them that they might have found an important breakthrough.
If it were an ordinary hunter, even if he had just come out of an extradimensional space, there would be no need to use [Deodorizing Potion] at all.
And Class B disasters are very rare in the wild, and it happens that there is one in the 407 space!
The time is right too!
Someone in Car No. 15 has a big problem!
Without further ado, the strong man directly ordered: "Rose, go and see if you can use your sixth sense to identify the person."
The leather-clad woman nodded and said, "I'll give it a try. Once the carriage is locked, the target range will be smaller. If you're just a card master apprentice, it should be fine."
The brawny man: "Okay. Don't alarm the snake now that it's confirmed. Wait for me to take action together. Since that guy can slip away from the hands of the leader and the others, I think there are some tricks, don't take it lightly. And try not to make a big fuss and use hypnosis.
We must resolve it quickly. Otherwise, if we cause too much noise in the carriage, the Hunters Guild will also intervene."
The leather-clad woman nodded: "Yes."
As soon as he finished speaking, the strong man ordered the skinny man playing with the dagger: "Xiao Wu, go to car No. 16 first, be careful that the guy may jump from the back of the car. If you really can't control it, I'll pick his hamstring."
As long as you can survive over there."
The skinny man frowned when he heard this: "But boss, is it nice to see blood in the car?"
The strong man was also a little helpless: "I don't care about so much anymore. Let's catch the person first."
Then he ordered: "Old dog, you go last and don't show your face first, so as not to be noticed by that person."
Old Dog: "Yes."
As soon as they met, they immediately started taking action.
.......
On the other hand, Ji Xun watched the cloaked man wander around for a while before leaving, and didn't take it seriously at first.
I thought it would be just like the previous waves, I didn't find anything unusual and left.
However, the wait didn't last long.
Ji Xun suddenly saw a thin man wearing a half-face gas mask walking over.
Although this person seemed to be just passing by, he didn't make any unusual stop in Car No. 15, and went straight to Car No. 16.
But Ji Xun immediately noticed something was wrong.
He now has the ability of photographic memory. Although this guy was disguised, looking at the black leather dagger holster around his waist, Ji Xun recognized it at a glance: This guy has been here once before!
This guy was looking around all the way, obviously looking for someone, most likely someone from the Blackwater Mercenary Group.
Now he's here again, even in disguise, but he leaves so decisively, obviously he has some purpose.
"Have you been discovered yet..."
Ji Xun's eyes were stern, and he immediately made a judgment in his heart.
