"Um...Senior Roy, when you first introduced this ritual vessel, did you say its mapping effect was reversed?"
Seeing the note in the mirror turning into ashes and falling, Qiong curled her lips: "It must be a correct proposition that distorts it in the mirror, right?"
"I didn't say anything against it." Roy's face was very pale. She leaned against the door, took out a small bottle of radiant spirit liquid, put it against her lips, and slowly inhaled the steaming mottled light and shadow.
Judging from the faces of several people, they were all quite frightened.
This result deprived everyone of their little superficial sense of security.
Fan Ning stared at the intact "It's safe to stay on the train" in reality, and slowly said: "The note burned directly to ashes in the mirror, so this is a false proposition?"
Roy looked worried: "Don't waste all one's inspiration on divination proposition 3. It is no longer necessary to reduce the combat effectiveness of two people. The 'Mirror of Transfiguration' gave an extreme negative revelation. The fields and lights in the distance
No matter how terrifying the situation is, it will not be more serious than staying in the car."
"If that's the case..." Fan Ning looked at the back of the car with a stern look: "Should we let all the passengers get off the train, or at least let all the students get off the train? This arrangement will probably cause serious panic for everyone, and once the crowd
Once they are released, it will be much more difficult for us to maintain order."
"I still wonder if there is something wrong." Qiong looked at the surroundings again. The lights in the first-class carriage were as bright as ever, and the texture of the leather sofa was soft and high-end, allowing people to lie on it and have a good sleep.
.
Lu Ye paced back and forth: "The danger is indeed there, but after we figured out the pattern of people disappearing later, there have been no accidents for several hours now... Why is there such an extreme danger revelation?"
“What divination reveals is the general development trend of things over a relatively long period of time.” Roy said, “In terms of today’s specific proposition, the severity of danger and the degree of urgency are two concepts. Combining revelation and my intuition,
Something ominous is in the process of coming. To use a tangible analogy, it may be a train hitting the same track five hours later, or a meteorite falling from the sky ten hours later... The revelation before this kind of bad luck comes is
Dangerous, but until they come, everything is calm."
"What I mean is that it's not advisable to stay on the train for a long time, but you can stay temporarily. We should follow what Xilan said at the beginning and send a few people to explore the way first, while the rest of the students stay in the car and wait for valuable information to appear.
After making progress, we can turn back as appropriate."
Fanning adopted this plan.
It is impossible to get off the bus with more than 80 symphony orchestra members or 400 to 500 passengers. Not to mention becoming a burden in the event of an attack, the maintenance of order and the disappearance phenomenon caused by the loss of vision are beyond control.
The process was a bit confusing, but once the decision was made, the action started immediately.
He first came to the carriage section where the symphony orchestra musicians were.
The order here is better than that in the public section. Roy truthfully informed everyone of the dangers that are everywhere at present. Fortunately, his companions are there and the environment is relatively closed, so the sense of security will not be out of control.
Kaplan was also helping to maintain order. Everyone did not get up and walk around, but subconsciously sat on the sofa next to the aisle, as far away from the dark night as possible by the window.
"Professor Fan Ning, can the train be repaired later?"
"Professor Fan Ning, will nothing happen if we stay here?"
"Have we entered some mysterious area? Is there any hope of getting out of here?"
Seeing Fan Ning come back, everyone's eyes lit up and they felt like they had found a backbone.
But Fan Ning still felt the anxiety of spirits everywhere in the environment, and a series of preliminary conclusions made her inner uneasiness slowly grow.
"Judging from the current pattern of several missing persons, as long as everyone is in a closed environment or out of sight of others for more than a few seconds, they should be safe, at least temporarily."
"I plan to take a few people out of the car to explore the situation. When I find valuable clues, I will come back to inform everyone what to do next. You don't need to be overly anxious."
In order to stabilize everyone's mood, Fan Ning responded like this, acting calmly.
In fact, he was completely unsure about the next exploration.
Fortunately, everyone is very receptive to this arrangement.
If the majority of people leave the minority, the latter will inevitably feel "abandoned", but now that hundreds of people are still on the bus, everyone is worried about those who may be in danger, and the classmates all ask Fan Ning to be careful.
The last brief discussion decided: Fan Ning, Sheeran, Joan, and Roy, the four knowledgeable people, took care of each other and got off the train together. Lu had not been promoted yet, and his help in directly confronting the mystery was limited. As the person in charge of the railway system, he stayed on
Maintaining order on the bus can better ensure the safety of students. Dozens of security personnel with firearms can deal with emergencies among some passengers.
In Car No. 1, the door was opened again by the conductor.
The night breeze poured into the car from the black mist that was too thick to melt away, causing the tied sofa door curtains to dance.
That feeling of being watched from afar appeared again.
Just as Fan Ning was about to step down the steel steps, he took his raised foot back.
He walked to Car No. 2 again and placed another flashlight on the table in front of the sofa.
"Miss Chief, please come with us."
"Me?" Julius was startled for a moment, then forced a forced smile, "Professor Fan Ning, are you... kidding?"
"Come on." Fan Ning's face was calm and showed no emotion, "Look, those who are exploring the front with me are all the core strength of the St. Lenia Symphony Orchestra. As the most important principal lady of the orchestra, how can we be less?
What about you?"
Fan Ning had been paying attention to Julius' situation when he first boarded the train before encountering the mysterious incident.
However, she never behaved abnormally. Even after the accident, Fan Ning only saw anxiety and panic in her eyes.
The normal reaction of a low-ranking knowledgeable person who has just been promoted... She is not strong enough to make such a big noise. There is a high probability that she was accidentally involved in this incident.
But we must be careful. This girl had been making little moves before. When all four knowledgeable people on our side left the scene, she had to be taken away.
In this way, one's side may not be able to avoid certain secret issues when discussing them, but they are insignificant in comparison, and it is not certain who will let whom reveal the secret information next.
Xilan was the first to understand Fan Ning's intention. She stepped forward and smiled softly: "Senior Julius, now that the lives of our classmates are threatened, we are the ones who should take the most responsibility.
, right? Our biggest common wish is to arrive in the imperial capital smoothly one by one and win our artistic reputation at the concert."
Julius had no choice.
"Indeed." Under the looks of her classmates, she stood up after arranging her clothes and said in a slightly more relaxed tone, "Maybe it would be safer to follow Professor Fan Ning."
Under the invisible gaze, Fan Ning stepped on the soft soil. He turned around and watched the other four people in the team walking out of the car one after another.
"Be careful, if the situation goes wrong, evacuate decisively." Lu said solemnly at the door.
"Close the door quickly and take care of everyone." Fan Ning nodded in response.
At this time, he admired Lu's psychological quality. Waiting on a train that had been judged as extremely dangerous by the "Transforming Mirror", this inner torture was no better than exploring an unknown area.
The car door slowly closed, and the warm lights and soft sofa disappeared from sight.
Several strong military lights shined through the car window, illuminating an arc-shaped area more than a hundred meters in front of the field. Under the gaze of everyone on the train, the figures of the five people slowly moved forward in the direction of the lights in the distance.
Soon, we reached the extreme boundary of the lighting range.
"Although Joan's previous idea seems a bit strange, I think it is very applicable to the current situation. Let's do what she said."
Looking at the haystacks and field ridges vaguely visible in the darkness ahead, Fan Ning waved his hand: "Miss Julius, let's go together."
Julius could only say "Yeah" and turned around with Fan Ning.
Sheeran, Joan, and Roy were walking facing the direction of the lights, while Fan Ning was facing them, walking backwards, and the two rows of people were about two meters apart.
As the distance widened again, the strong military lights projected from the direction of the train were finally turned off, and darkness engulfed the figures of the five people like a tide.
There was some kind of imminent danger on the train, which prevented everyone from wasting too much time, and generally maintained a medium speed. Although Fan Ning was slightly inconvenienced when he was walking backwards, his spiritual sense allowed him to barely keep up with this speed.
This field is very consistent with Fan Ning's impression of the characteristics of the countryside in the southwest of Uvranser. Under the flashlight, you can see its generally flat terrain. The field ridges and canals are evenly dug and regularly distributed, which does not cause too much trouble for the journey.
Many difficulties.
But what puzzled everyone was that, although it was a summer night in the countryside, there were no insects or frogs chirping, and there were no stars or moon in the sky. The whole world was eerily quiet, with only the sound of people stepping on the rustling grass in the fields.
Nothing happened during this period. After walking for about a kilometer, everyone was only half the distance from the distant lights. At this time, Sheeran suddenly asked: "Caron, where is that Joe Vasius?"
That's right. Fan Ning looked stunned as he was retreating.
Why did this investigator get out of the car alone in the first place?
Then according to the rules discovered so far, wouldn't this threat to the Special Patrol Office have disappeared from the world?
"Caron," Joan called him in a low voice, "That guy must have relied on his own strength and judged that this mysterious incident was not a high-level one, so he got out of the car to explore on his own before he could fully understand the law of the disappearance phenomenon.
Now you finally have one less opponent to watch out for day and night."
"Don't take it for granted." Fan Ning still maintained a sense of vigilance, "Facing the chaotic mysterious realm, who dares to think that he is strong and that high-level knowledgeable people will be safe when facing low-level pollution? Low-level knowledgeable people
Facing high-level pollution, you will definitely escape death? Do you think this is comparing poker points? This world does not follow intuitive laws at all."
"Remember what the investigator said to me after jumping out of the car? 'You will get down sooner or later', he was right... Instead of thinking that he acted recklessly, it is better to be more cautious and assume that he may know something."
"Miss Julius, don't you think so?" Fan Ning turned around and saw her nervous look, still at a loss, and smiled softly, "I understand your nervousness, and your confusion... I understand it, everyone.
Now we are not clear about the situation, but there is no need to maintain other emotions. Frank communication is often more conducive to achieving the goal. So, do you understand?"
Seeing Julius' response that seemed to be nodding and shaking her head, Fan Ning asked directly: "What is the current whereabouts of the Transcendental Club's experience officer 'Elov'? Were you promoted to a knowledgeable person with the help of this organization?"
"
Julius said urgently: "Professor Fan Ning, what happened today really has nothing to do with me. I swear, I was accidentally involved!"
"Calm down, I didn't say that this mysterious incident was caused by you." Fan Ning patted her shoulder lightly, "But I need some information, both for the previous investigation and for the current situation, mystery and
There are often connections between mysteries…”
"As long as knowledgeable people are not crazy, they are more or less smart people. Why should I communicate with you as an equal today instead of pointing a pistol at you? You should be able to understand the reason, right?"
"Concert?" Julius said a word tentatively.
The student symphony orchestra's performance list at the Summer Arts Festival will be strictly reviewed to avoid competition at the student level due to the placement of a large number of professional musicians. Collaboration with soloists is allowed. This is also the repertoire arrangement of major colleges.
, the reason why everyone will prepare a concerto.
Julius' subconscious reaction was naturally related to the topic related to artistic reputation that she cared about most - she knew that it would be difficult for Fan Ning to find or train a student orchestra leader whose skills and adaptability were not weaker than hers in a short period of time.
Sheeran, who makes her jealous, can do it, but this time she has to be in charge of the concerto.
"The factors you mentioned account for half." Fan Ning said slowly, "But if everyone can't go back, the value of your music will be meaningless. The threat to life in this place is already great enough, so there is no need for me to make an additional gesture of threatening you.
On the contrary, in order to prevent you from disappearing from this world, we all need to maintain the gaze of one more person..."
"So, Miss Chief, if I were you, I would try my best to show some value in other aspects at this time, and see if I can try my luck to find one or two clues related to the current situation. Otherwise, it will be hard to say what will happen.
.”
His tone was slow, but it made Julius feel chilled all over.
She gritted her teeth and finally began to answer Fan Ning's question: "Erov is one of the informants who develop members of the Transcendental Club. Their activities require a large amount of funds and related resources, so they have contacted many imperial factory owner families. We have
I’m interested in the real colors behind the appearances of the world he depicts.”
"So because you are young and have artistic talent, in return for providing funds and resources for activities, Elof promoted you on behalf of the Transcendental Club?"
"...Yes, I only have contact with this organization through him, and I only know the organization's superficial information or ideas through this channel."
"Is there any formal way to follow a secret organization that studies evil gods instead of fighting for it?"
"The authorities have not given others a chance." Julius suddenly smiled with a bit of sadness, "Professor Fan Ning, today's situation is likely to end up in this damn place. The difference is just me or all of us, and I'm not afraid to say it.
To be honest, the true number of so-called banned persons in the empire may be more than ten times what the authorities expected!"
"My family is neither aristocratic, nor is it ranked at the so-called 'chaebol' level among factory owners. Not everyone has your good luck... If you compare a person who is eager for knowledge to a desert traveler who is about to die of thirst
, then the official establishment of knowledgeable people that the authorities are willing to allow is only three to five drops of water."
"But anyone with a slightly higher level of inspiration, or a person with a slightly more wonderful destiny path in life, once they know that they are just surviving in the sedimentary mud of distorted colors, who can continue to endure the sorrow of ignorance?
"
