They purchased the tickets for the previous train as a cover, and put a smoke bomb to the possible observers. Then the three of them disguised themselves and purchased tickets separately at the ticket office for the next train.
This is Amanda's travel plan, trying to avoid unknown troubles.
Therefore, the three of them did not arrive at the train station at the same time, but came separately.
In the evening, the train pulled into the platform. Victor, Amanda, and Elold got into different carriages separately, and then gathered into the same carriage from two directions as if nothing had happened, and sat on seats in different rows.
During this period, he did not have any communication with Amanda and Elold.
While placing his luggage, Victor had a little conflict with a passenger next to him.
This carriage is second class and is quite crowded, so some friction will inevitably occur.
Elold, who was wearing a fur coat, looked out of place among them. He easily attracted the attention of other passengers and was very happy to chat with the ladies.
Victor thought that Elold was a stern person who never looked good on him. Who would have thought that here, he would be so popular with women? I really don’t know what his nature is like.
Logically speaking, they should keep a low profile. Elold was too ostentatious, but for some reason, Amanda didn't remind him.
In fact, Victor couldn't even see where Amanda was sitting, she disappeared into the carriage like a transparent person.
The train has not started yet, and there are still late passengers boarding.
At this time, a man wearing black clothes and trousers walked up the aisle. He was wearing a pair of round sunglasses, the skin on his face was stiff, and he showed an obviously fake smile.
"Sorry, thank you sir..."
This guy behaved very strangely. Every time he passed a row of seats, he would apologize to the passengers inside and bow slightly.
"Sorry, thank you ma'am..."
No one blocked his way, and no one stretched his legs into the aisle, but he was so "polite".
When he passed by Victor, Victor glanced at him.
I don’t know if this guy noticed Victor, but he continued to move forward after apologizing.
A few minutes later, the cry of a little girl came from the front row. Her mother was scolding this weird man. It was probably because his round sunglasses and fake smile frightened the child.
The woman had a loud voice and kept cursing, and was about to attract the conductor, but the man with round sunglasses made a strange move.
He took out a piece of clean white paper from his inner pocket, and folded a white butterfly for the little girl as if by magic with both hands.
He handed the butterfly to the little girl. The little girl reached out and took it with her big watery eyes, and immediately stopped crying.
A wonderful thing happened. The little girl touched the butterfly, and the butterfly actually flew up and glided freely to the ground.
This is not some miraculous ability or magic, but the result of the superb origami skills of this man in sunglasses.
Now the little girl not only stopped crying, but also laughed heartily, making her mother blush and feel ashamed.
The man in sunglasses took off his dome hat, bowed slightly in greeting, then continued walking to the car in front of him, and soon disappeared from people's sight.
This is just a small episode, no one will pay attention to where the man's seat is.
Soon, the train started, the whistle sounded melodiously through the urban area of Renekton, heading towards the suburbs, roaring towards the unknown east.
Victor admired the evening sunset in the distance. In the city, he could not see the sun setting on the hills on the horizon.
Sometimes, he even began to reminisce about life in those sterile places in the east, recalling the days of brewing wine in the ruins of Damon's house, and sitting by the campfire with Father San to feed mosquitoes.
In the past, I was free and unrestrained, no different from an escort like Adolf, but now I am better, I have turned into a dog-like gentleman and a respectable elite investigator.
The memories haven't faded away yet, but it's dinner time.
There will be no food provided in the second-class carriage, so the passengers will take out their own dinner and eat it.
Most people were gnawing on coarse bread, while a few people were digging into the canned beans in their arms with spoons. A very few passengers carefully prepared sandwiches or ham for themselves.
Here you can see all kinds of food eaten by the people at the bottom of the country. In Victor's ears, he can hear the sounds of chewing and talking among the passengers in the same row.
He was not hungry himself and planned to take a nap before getting up to eat the beef jerky in the bag.
For some reason, he felt sleepy as soon as he got in the car. He usually only wanted to sleep in the early morning.
As a result, Victor lowered his hat to the lowest position, almost covering his entire face, then huddled in his coat, lay back and fell asleep.
After falling asleep, he had a dream. He dreamed that he woke up and was lying on the deck chair on the balcony of Dimon's second floor, with a field of white cotton below.
"Master Victor, it's time for lunch..." There was a pretty young woman standing next to her. Victor turned his face and looked over and found that it was the servant named Susan.
It seemed like a long time had passed, and Victor almost forgot about his family.
He recalled the past and remembered that when he was young, he caught Susan having an affair with the gardener, so a strange expression appeared on his face.
"Bring it to me, I'll eat it here." He burped and glanced at the half-eaten dessert on the white glass coffee table next to him.
"Master and Madam will not be happy," said Susan.
Only then did Victor remember that he still had his parents, and he slapped his forehead: "Yes, it's so strange, why did I forget them."
He immediately stood up from the chair, but before leaving the balcony, the maid suddenly said behind him: "Did you just forget about them? Have you forgotten anything else?"
"Forget anything else?" Victor grabbed the collar of his shirt, "Let me think about it, father and mother, sister Alice, you are Susan, and Eva, Kare, Julie, housekeeper Vincent, gardener Qiang
Ni…”
He thought back for a moment and confirmed that everyone in the family was preserved in his memory, and his face gradually began to look pleased.
However, just as this expression of relief appeared, Susan asked him another question.
"So, do you remember what happened after this?"
"What happened next? What happened?"
"Why are you leaving Missouri?"
"I didn't leave Missouri? I didn't even leave Walding."
Victor's face was full of doubts. As soon as he finished answering Susan's questions, some flashback fragments suddenly appeared in his mind.
No...no, I seem to have left Missouri. I should be on the train now...
"What happened to your family? Master Victor, your father, mother, and sister, what happened to them... What did you do that led to the disappearance of Father Sang, and what kind of agreement did you have with those Valentines?" protocol?"
Every time Susan asks a question, a picture will appear in Victor's mind. And those pictures will pop up from his head, changing the surrounding scenery to what Victor remembers.
He saw a fire that burned everyone in the house to death, and then there was a burning pain that woke him up from his dream.
My back was covered with hot sweat, and my ears were filled with the roar of train wheels and tracks.
Victor's breathing was rapid and he looked around him. The gentleman was already asleep.
He looked at the aisle in front of him again and was surprised to see two conductors running towards the car in front with serious expressions.
