After hearing Yu Hanjiang's words, the teammates immediately went back to pack their things. They only brought one set of change of clothes, along with their mobile phones and ID cards. They packed lightly, each with a backpack, and soon gathered downstairs.
The car couldn't seat eight people, so Lao Mo simply drove the tour bus he bought out of the garage. His teammates got on and sat down one after another. Lao Mo started the car and sped towards the Moon City train station.
On the way, looking at Yu Hanjiang's serious face, Shao Qingge asked doubtfully: "Why is it so urgent that you have to rush to Sun City overnight?"
"I don't know the specific situation." Yu Hanjiang explained, "It was the message from Mr. Tang from the Intelligence Bureau, saying that the Hunter will make a big move in Sun City in the past few days, and he asked us to go over and join him."
"Intelligence Bureau?" Hearing this word, Liu Qiao couldn't help clenching her fists tightly. Initially, she asked the Intelligence Bureau to help find out the whereabouts of her sister, but the other party said, "No such person was found." Her sister had never been to the main city.
It was very likely that she was eliminated in the first four levels. She had always had a glimmer of hope in her heart and wanted the Intelligence Bureau to confirm the accuracy of the information. Maybe it was just missed?
"Xiao Liu, the director of the Intelligence Bureau, Mr. Tang, is also Brother Ninth's former teammate. We will join him after we arrive at Sun City this time." Xiao Lou saw through Liu Qiao's thoughts at a glance, looked at Liu Qiao, and said softly
He said, "About your sister, you can ask Mr. Tang in person at that time. Even if there is no news, don't be discouraged. As long as we can go back, your sister can be saved."
"Yes, I know." Liu Qiao nodded, loosened his hands, and looked much more relaxed.
"By the way, if we take the train to Sun City, how long will it take to get there?" Ye Qi suddenly asked.
"72 hours." Shao Qingge happened to check the ticket on his mobile phone just now, so he knew the arrival time of the train. When he heard Ye Qi asked, he responded, then looked at Yu Hanjiang, "There will be three on the way.
God, is it too late? How about we take a plane instead?"
"When is the nearest flight?" Yu Hanjiang asked.
"Let me take a look." Shao Qingge opened his laptop, connected to the mobile hotspot, and searched for flights from Moon City to Sun City. However, what surprised him was that the nearest flight arrived at Sun City at noon two days later.
The time it takes to get to the city is about the same as taking the high-speed train there now. But today's and tomorrow's flights and tickets all show "sold out", and there is a small note saying: "General tickets are not available."
"It's sold out, which means all the seats are sold out. The plane can't sell standing tickets, so we can't let us stand in the cabin." Shao Qingge pinched his eyebrows with a headache and said, "Let's take the train."
General ticket] Jumping in line, I guess there will be no seats after boarding the bus, all eight tickets are standing tickets, are we made to stand for 72 hours?"
"Don't worry about the seats. I remember that this train has several stops along the way, and a group of people will get off. Then they can pay for their tickets and rest." Xiao Lou said.
"Then let's take the bullet train." Shao Qingge shrugged helplessly, closed the computer, and said, "Currently this is the only means of transportation that can go to Sun City."
Yu Hanjiang nodded decisively: "Okay, let's go to the train station and take the train at 1:30 in the morning."
Every seat on the plane corresponds to the ticket. It has been sold out, and they can't get on even if they have a general ticket. On the train, you can stand in the aisle or at the connection between the carriages. You have to work hard for a night, and they may be able to make up for it tomorrow when someone gets off the train.
ticket.
Regarding "standing tickets", Liu Qiao and Ye Qi didn't have any objections. They were students. They bought standing tickets when they couldn't buy tickets when they went home during the holidays. It was a bitter experience for Shao Qingge, the big boss. When
Have you suffered this kind of sin?
Ye Qi happened to be sitting in the same row as Shao Qingge, so he leaned towards him and whispered in his ear: "If you can't bear it, you can borrow Lao Mo's lazy sofa to sleep. I remember that the card did not restrict the use of the secret room, the main city
The world should be able to use it too.”
Shao Qingge couldn't laugh or cry: "Old Mo's card is quite timely. It comes in handy as soon as you draw it. It seems that everyone can only take turns to use the [Lazy Sofa] to rest tonight."
They had just come back from the tenth level and were feeling exhausted. Especially at the end of the tenth level, they had experienced a collective escape from an underground secret room. As a result, before they had time to rest when they returned to the main city, they had to set off to take the train again, and there were still eight pictures.
Standing ticket...
Standing in the aisle all night is definitely unbearable. Lao Mo’s [Beanbag] card is indeed a timely gift.
***
Lao Mo drove the bus and took the Airport Expressway, and arrived at the Moon City train station in half an hour. He parked the car in the underground parking lot, paid the parking fee for a week in advance, and the eight of them quickly walked there with their luggage.
Security checkpoint.
Yu Hanjiang took the lead and took out the [General Ticket] card. When passing through the security check, the card automatically changed into a ticket for the kp-0714 train that departed from Moon City to Sun City at 01:30 in the morning.
The eight people passed the security check one after another and entered the waiting hall.
As soon as I walked into the lobby, I heard the soft voice of the female announcer in my ears: "Dear passengers, the kp-0714 train from Moon City to Sun City is now checking in. Please take your belongings with you.
Check in through ticket gate a10 and b10 and enter the station."
The entrance to the waiting hall is the A1 ticket gate. It is a long distance to walk to A10. Yu Hanjiang glanced at his watch and strode forward, and his teammates quickly followed.
When I walked to the A10 ticket gate, there was already a long queue.
Shao Qingge wondered: "There are so many people on the train in the early morning. Is the passenger flow between the two main cities usually so large?"
Ye Qi scratched his head: "I don't know, we have never been to Sun City. Does Uncle Mo know?"
Everyone turned their attention to Lao Mo, who knew the main city well. The latter explained: "These two cities are the central cities of the card world. They can be understood as Beijing and Shanghai in our reality. The traffic between the two cities.
The trains are basically full, with business people and tourists. Anyway, there are a lot of locals and foreigners coming and going every day."
Xiao Lou looked around and found that everyone was busy lining up and no one was paying attention to them, so he asked softly: "What are the challengers doing when they go back and forth between the two main cities?" Like them, since coming to Yue
After that, I have been busy challenging the secret room and have not even thought about traveling to another main city. Are other challengers so free?
Lao Mo smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Not all challengers insist on going back like us." He lowered his voice and asked his teammates to come closer, and then continued: "Remember? I mentioned it to everyone.
, some challengers decide to live in the card world. As long as they have powerful cards by their side, they are not afraid of the weekly secret rooms and can live a comfortable life in this world. The City of Moon and City of Sun are rich in products, and they
When traveling between the two cities, you can do some buying and selling business, such as transporting seafood from Sun City to sell here, and then sending the delicacies here to sell at a high price over there."
When everyone heard this, they looked at each other.
Those challengers who were unwilling to return to the real world actually started serious business in the card world?
Sun City is a seaside city, so seafood is of course cheap, and fish, shrimp, crabs and other things are naturally cheap. Moon City is located between mountains and forests, with abundant production of exotic flowers and plants, and delicious beef and mutton. Buy and sell to earn the difference.
It's really a good way to make money.
Some challengers have no relatives worth caring about in reality and their lives are very unsatisfactory. It is their personal choice to stay here. Yu Hanjiang does not comment on these people's choices. He only knows that he and his teammates will go back.
Seeing that it was almost their turn, Yu Hanjiang winked at his teammates, stopped the discussion, and lined up one by one to check in and enter the station.
Their ticket shows carriage No. 3.
After everyone entered the station, they walked to Car No. 3 and got on the car. They found that the car was indeed full of people. The eight of them used "General Tickets" to get on the car when the tickets were sold out. They could only be converted into standing tickets. It was pitiful.
Standing in the aisle anxiously.
Yu Hanjiang glanced across the carriage. Maybe it was because he got on the bus at 1:30 in the morning. The passengers looked very tired. After putting their luggage away, the carriage quickly became quiet. Most of the passengers fell asleep leaning on their seats.
Yu Hanjiang took everyone to the connection between carriages No. 3 and No. 4.
The space here is relatively spacious. Everyone put their backpacks on the ground. Seeing the tiredness on the faces of his teammates, Yu Hanjiang felt very sad. If he hadn't been in a hurry to find Ninth Brother, he wouldn't have rushed all night just after coming out of the tenth level.
He looked at Lao Mo and asked in a low voice: "Can the lazy sofa be taken out for use?"
Lao Mo nodded and activated the S card he had just drawn - everyone saw a dark brown lazy sofa suddenly appeared in the open space at the junction of the carriages. The material looked very soft and comfortable at first glance.
Lao Mo said: "The sofa cools down every three hours. Lying on it can eliminate fatigue and restore full physical fitness. Which of you will come first?"
Yu Hanjiang looked at Liu Qiao and Qu Wanyue and said, "Ladies first, the two girls will try it first."
In the tenth level, Liu Qiao dragged her body with severe blood disease and ran wildly to find a safe zone in the rainy night. Although she never complained about being tired, Yu Hanjiang could see the obvious dark circles under her eyelids. Not to mention Teacher Qu, who was pregnant
, and running around with everyone, I haven’t had a good rest for two days.
The two girls looked at each other, Qu Wanyue smiled and said: "Xiaoqiao comes first."
Liu Qiao didn't refuse, turned around and sat on it.
As soon as she sat on it, her body felt like it was wrapped in a layer of soft feathers. The warm and comfortable feeling was countless times better than the bed at home. She only sat for a few seconds and felt full of energy all over her body.
He felt as refreshed as when he woke up from a peaceful sleep. Liu Qiao looked at Old Mo with a surprised look on his face: "Uncle Mo, this sofa is really useful!"
Mo Xuemin said cheerfully: "Can it really relieve fatigue?"
Liu Qiao nodded vigorously: "I'm energetic now. It's no problem to get out of the car and run 10,000 meters." She stood up, pulled Qu Wanyue and said: "Sister Yue, sit down and watch."
After Qu Wanyue sat down, she also sighed: "It's really amazing. It would be great if there was such a lazy sofa in reality. No matter how expensive it is, I want to buy it... It's a hundred times more comfortable than a massage chair."
Hearing this, Ye Qi couldn't help but said: "Removing fatigue? I remember that my suona can also remove negative states. It should also be able to temporarily remove fatigue."
Xiao Lou looked at him and said, "Are you sure you want to play the suona on the train in the dead of night?"
Everyone: “…………”
If Ye Qi really played the suona, all the passengers in the carriage would probably rush over and beat him up together.
Ye Qiqian smiled and scratched his hair: "I'm just saying casually. Ahem, it's enough for everyone to sit on the sofa. Come on, take turns."
Everyone took turns sitting on the beanbag, and the physical fatigue disappeared and they became energetic. However, the cooling time of the sofa is 3 hours, and their energy can only last for 3 hours.
But it's better than working all night long.
Lao Mo put away the card and said: "This card seems to be quite useful? If you encounter a situation where you are being chased in the future and you are tired from running, you can sit down and take a rest before continuing on the road?"
Xiao Lou nodded: "It's worthy of the strength of an S-class card. Is there a limit to the number of times it can be used?"
Lao Mo said: "The energetic state after using the sofa will last for 3 hours. The lazy sofa can only be used once in 24 hours. So everyone may feel tired again after 3 hours."
Ye Qi asked: "Where is Professor Xiao's Lu Yu? Can he be summoned for tea?"
Xiao Lou said helplessly: "Lu Yu is an ancient character and cannot be summoned in the main city environment."
Ye Qi; "..."
It's half past one now, everyone can be energetic until four thirty, but he can't play the suona in the carriage at four thirty in the morning, right? Fortunately, after four thirty, he can endure it for a few hours before dawn.
Yu Hanjiang said: "Everyone, let's take a rest."
Xiao Lou looked back at the car with the lights turned off. This familiar scene suddenly brought some memory fragments to his mind. Once, he and Yu Hanjiang were on the train as stewards and met a tour group and two teams.
A couple, a group of besties.
When I woke up in the morning, an old man named Li** died peacefully in his sleep in the sleeper car. The next morning, another young boy named Zhou Quan died in the bathroom in an extremely tragic manner.
On the toilet, a certain part of the man's body was cut off.
Xiao Lou took a deep breath, looked at Yu Hanjiang and asked softly: "Do you remember the speed train?"
Yu Hanjiang nodded: "Well, in two murder cases, the deceased had a picture on his cell phone called Train to Hell."
Xiao Lou looked out the window and said: "The bus we got on was kp-0713, which drove from Sun City to Moon City; today's bus is kp-0714, which ran from Moon City to Sun City.
The train is going in the opposite direction...I always have a bad feeling."
Yu Hanjiang walked to his side and looked out the window side by side.
It was pitch black outside, and the two of them were clearly reflected on the window. Xiao Lou's head was just at the tip of Yu Hanjiang's nose. There was a perfect height difference. Xiao Lou's heart skipped a beat, and he changed the subject and said, "Will there be another train?"
Homicide?”
Yu Hanjiang gently stopped his shoulder, and there was a hint of tenderness in his deep voice: "Don't think too much, it's not a secret room world now, we also suddenly decided to take this train to Sun City, there shouldn't be any murders.
."
Xiao Lou nodded and said, "Well, I hope we can reach the finish line smoothly this time and meet up with Mr. Tang."
****
[Chapter 362, unexpected reunion]
At 7:30 the next morning, passengers gradually woke up in the carriage to wash up.
This train is the same as the one I encountered in 4 of Hearts, it still has 9 carriages.
Among them, the No. 9 carriage at the end is the residence of the train staff.
Cars 1-4 are hard-seat cars, cars 6-8 are soft-sleeper cars, and car 5 in the middle is the dining car. The eight people in Xiao Lou were at the connection between cars 3 and 4, and they could just see people coming to the dining car to have breakfast.
In order to avoid the rush hour of washing in the morning, they had already washed their faces and brushed their teeth before seven o'clock when no one was there. At this time, people were coming and going in the corridor, so it was not convenient for them to stay in the connecting area.
, so Xiao Lou suggested: "Why don't we go to the dining car to have breakfast and see if there is anyone suspicious in the car."
Everyone followed Xiao Lou to the dining car and simply ordered some milk, soy milk, and steamed buns for breakfast.
While I was eating, I saw several young women walking in from the direction of Car No. 6.
They were dressed very fashionably and chatted as they walked. The one walking in the front had big curly hair and a bright appearance. She should be the eldest sister among the group. The girl next to her had a delicate and gentle appearance and was dressed in light blue.
She is wearing a long colored dress, a delicate diamond necklace around her neck, and a bracelet on her hand.
The four girls following behind have different looks.
But the clothes they wear are all blue and white, with different styles and similar colors. They look like besties at first glance.
Shao Qingge narrowed his eyes and glanced at the jade bracelet on the girl's hand, and said: "This bracelet should be the best pure natural ice jade, which is priceless. It seems that this woman is quite rich."
Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang looked at each other.
The two of them originally picked up a bun and were about to eat it, but after looking at each other, they put the bun down tacitly.
Xiao Lou said softly: "The one wearing the bracelet is Shu Xiaomeng?"
Yu Hanjiang nodded: "The one at the front with burgundy hair should be Liu Xiaoyan."
Xiao Loudao: "There are also Zhang Xiaoning, Wu Xiaofei, Cheng Xiaoli, and Song Xiaoyu."
Listening to their conversation, other teammates looked confused. Ye Qi was even confused by the name "x Xiaox" and looked at Xiao Lou in confusion: "What are you talking about? Do you know these girls?
?”
At this moment, a group of six best friends sat down at a dining table not far away.
Liu Xiaoyan said cheerfully: "Would Xiaomeng treat me to today's breakfast?"
Shu Xiaomeng nodded: "Okay, Sister Yan, everyone can order whatever they want to eat."
The short-haired girl next to her, Zhang Xiaoning, joked: "Mrs. Li has a lot of money. According to me, you guys are also serious. You have to take the train. How convenient is it to fly? It only takes one day. It takes three days to take the train!"
A long-haired girl next to her said weakly: "This was Sister Yan's idea. When we went to the concert, Xiaomeng couldn't go with us due to physical reasons. Later, something happened in the car...
...Ahem, we didn’t think so either. Finally, the goddess is going to have a concert in Sun City this year. It’s a dream come true for everyone to take the train together.”
Shu Xiaomeng agreed: "Yes, no one was absent this time. The six of us took the train together and slowly passed there. We treated it as a trip to relax."
Listening to their conversation, the other teammates finally came to their senses.
Ye Qi couldn't believe it and said: "The besties from the Speed Train case are here again?!"
Shao Qingge glanced at Shu Xiaomeng thoughtfully and said: "The group of besties that Xiaoye and I met were not called these names, but were called Cheng Xuening, Qin Xuefei, etc... These are
The group of besties that Professor Xiao and Captain Yu met?"
The plot of the low-level secret room is similar, but there are many versions. Lao Mo also said at the beginning that it is like an examination paper with papers A, B, and C, which are randomly generated, so the best friends Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang met on the speed train, and Shao
What Ye and I encountered were not the same.
Perhaps Lao Mo, Liu Qiao, and Long Qu encountered different situations.
Every time they enter a secret room, that secret room is the only copy generated, and the "NPCs" in the secret room also exist independently. For example, the deceased Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang met in the 4 of Hearts was named Li **, and the deceased Ye Qi met
It couldn't be Li** - Li** wouldn't die over and over again, twice in a row.
Xiao Lou said softly: "These six are the group of besties that Captain Yu and I met at 4 of Hearts. They went to the Moon City to watch a concert, and on the way they joined forces to kill the scumbag Zhou Quan, but the murderer was not among them.
It was Cheng Mu who got on the bus on the way. After arriving at Moon City, they were taken by the police to take notes, so they didn't watch the concert."
Ye Qi was stunned, and could not help but feel a slight chill going down his spine: "So, after many years, in order to realize their dream, they got together and took this train together to go to Suncity to watch a concert? As a result, they ended up at different points in time.
Meet us again?"
Xiao Lou nodded: "Well, at this time, Shu Xiaomeng is already Li Mo's wife. Her best friends just called her Mrs. Li. The priceless bracelet on her hand should have been bought by Li Mo."
Shao Qingge's expression changed, and he lowered his voice and said, "I remember the theme of the Four of Hearts is the train to hell."
Ye Qi's spine stood up with chills: "These girls, are they going to cause trouble again? Make a murder case and send people to hell?"
Yu Hanjiang didn't speak. He frowned and looked thoughtfully at the scenery passing quickly outside the car window.
The Secret Room of 4 Hearts happened when Li Mo and Shu Xiaomeng were not together. Shu Xiaomeng had a miscarriage at the time and did not go to the concert with her girlfriends. Li Mo planned a senior tour group and killed his father Li**.
Two of Shu Xiaomeng's best friends had been let down by scumbag men. Seven of her girlfriends got together and personally sent away the scumbag named Zhou on that train.
This is in line with what they just said, "We didn't see it as a concert back then, so let's go together to realize our dream this time."
Not long ago, everyone met Li Mo in the Plum Blossom Secret Room. Li Mo was almost 35 years old at the time. The time flow rate in the main city should be the same. Therefore, Li Mo's wife Shu Xiaomeng is now about 32 years old.
It can be deduced that the current time is 10 years after the "Speed Train" secret room case occurred.
Is it just a coincidence that I met this group of best friends again?
Shao Qingge took out his mobile phone and quickly searched for news, and quickly came to the conclusion: "There is indeed a concert in Sun City. The singing queen Luo Yan will hold her debut twenty-twenty concert in the largest stadium in Sun City in three days.
Anniversary Concert.”
Xiao Lou remembered this name: "Yes, they went to Moon City back then to watch the concert of this goddess Luo Yan."
It was originally called watching a concert, but it was actually to deal with the scumbag on the train, but it didn't work out in the end.
My best friends all like the singing diva, so in order to realize their dream, it makes sense that they would go to a concert with a group after ten years.
However, meeting again on the same train, the feeling of crossing time and space still made Xiao Lou feel messy, as if the 18-year-old girl he met a few days ago suddenly became a 30-year-old young woman when he met today?
After Yu Hanjiang thought about it for a moment, he whispered to Xiao Lou: "We are still not sure whether this is a coincidence. Let me ask Bureau Tang."
Xiao Lou took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Tang Ci: "Mr. Tang, what's going on at the concert?"
Tang Ci replied: "Luo Yan is a female singer with a strong appeal in the world. She debuted for 20 years and left countless classic songs. She only holds a concert every five years, and this time happens to be the 20th anniversary of her debut.
For the commemorative concert, fans will flock to Sun City from all over the world. Tickets for the concert are on sale and they were sold out in less than five minutes."
It sounds normal. It's just a very popular singer holding a commemorative concert. Fans came from all over the city to support her. But Xiao Lou still felt a little uneasy: "Is this related to the Hunter organization?"
Tang Ci said: "I don't know, we are still investigating. There have been a lot of activities in Sun City recently. Within a week, large-scale concerts, award ceremonies, celebrity signings, and football games were held one after another. Hotels in the entire city were quickly
It is fully occupied and the traffic congestion is very serious. When you arrive, go directly to the New Century Hotel to check in, and I will book a room for you."
Xiao Lou could only say: "I understand, it's time to contact you."
He showed the conversation on his cell phone to Yu Hanjiang, shook his head and said, "Mr. Tang is not sure either. Maybe this is just a celebrity concert. Are we overthinking it?"
Yu Hanjiang frowned: "I hope so."
He raised his eyes and looked at the dining table not far away. Shu Xiaomeng and her best friends were having breakfast happily. The young woman's face was filled with a warm smile. Her husband was a well-known wealthy businessman in the world, and he was very fond of her.
She was so doting on her that she left her husband and some of her best friends to go out to watch a concert. It seems that the relationship between these girls is as good as ever.
Does Li Mo know about this? Is the concert held in the Sun City Stadium really just a commemorative concert?
I'm afraid we won't know until we get to the scene.
Thinking of this, Yu Hanjiang said: "Mr. Shao, try to buy some tickets for the concert. I want to go there and see it."
Shao Qingge searched the Internet and said: "The official channels have long been sold out, so you can only buy high-priced scalper tickets... Let me see, scalper tickets are also very popular. This goddess must have too many fans."
Ye Qi thought enviously, it would be great if he had so many fans when he held a concert in the future...
Shao Qingge said: "I can only buy 2 tickets. Three days later, it will open at 8 o'clock in the evening, VIP seats, just in time."
Yu Hanjiang glanced at Xiao Lou and said, "I'll go with Xiao Lou. The others will check in at the hotel first and wait for news about us."
He had a strange intuition and reunited with his best friends on the same train. This time there was Shu Xiaomeng...
