The howling wind intensified, and the rain poured down with rage, and a thick, towering cumulonimbus cloud was suspended in the air, and the black cloud was lowered, like a downpour of water, covering only a small area, and even bright sunlight could be seen around.

The light leaked through the gaps in the clouds, but was soon obscured again, and the long train rushed straight along the tracks, straight towards the place covered by the cumulonimbus clouds, like a lone knight, facing thousands of horses, riding a thousand.

Whoop -

At that moment, Bai Ge even had the illusion that the train was not in the rain, but in the lake.

Jingle Bell Jingle Bell –

The raindrops knocked on the car window, washing the glass that was originally dirty by the desert outside, and after the initial blur, Bai Ge could see the scene outside.

He saw that countless looming storm birds were gathering in a group, soaring upward, setting off ripples in the pouring rain, and this tide passed through the sky, continuous, endless.

Woo –

A high-pitched chirp caught everyone's attention, and Bai Ge looked high in the sky, where in the black, lightning-rolling clouds, a huge translucent creature was flapping its fins and swimming above the clouds.

"This is a cautious level, uh, it is a beast with a certain degree of danger, the name is cloud whale, it is also an atmospheric creature, where they appear, it is always accompanied by violent storms, so in the early days of the Great Collapse, some people also called it the 'Storm Lord', this creature itself lives by devouring thunder and lightning, and will not actively attack the city and people, but if someone tries to provoke it, tsk, that guy will definitely feel what the real 'Storm Lord' is."

Philo Young didn't talk much about FLAG this time, but only made a brief introduction.

"I thought it was a natural disaster."

Some passengers subconsciously sighed.

"Heh, if it's a natural disaster, this is far from qualified."

At the mention of this topic, Macro-Wu, who had slightly curly blonde hair and obvious mixed-race characteristics, laughed.

"However, the reason why [Orient Express] was able to make the trip was not only because of the train itself, but also because there were almost no natural disasters passing by on this route."

"Almost?"

Bai Ge twitched the corners of his mouth, thinking that it wouldn't be so coincidental.

"Well, you know about the natural disaster that happened in Zhuxia some time ago, right?"

Macron Wu was as interested in this area as his companion Philo Young was in wildlife.

Hearing McCro Wu's words, many passengers showed a little sadness on their faces, but the corners of Bai Ge's mouth softened and a smile appeared.

"That natural disaster belongs to the kind of natural disasters that do not usually occur and require certain conditions to appear, but some natural disasters have always existed in the world."

Macro Wu said mysteriously, and the little girl opposite him, Nala, seemed to be trembling, and subconsciously looked at the world outside the window in the rain.

"For example, the Piper of Hamel, everyone should know this, it is said that this is located between Zhuxia and the Panxi Sea, there has always been a natural disaster, the specific situation is not known, but some people say that the symbol of this natural disaster is usually a flute sound, followed by a huge procession of countless people, and children under the age of twelve, after hearing this flute, will be abducted, even adults, if they indulge in the procession, will eventually become its puppet."

When Macro-Wu finished speaking, there was a sudden sound of melodious music in the carriage.

"This..."

Bai Ge raised his eyebrows, and everyone looked at the bar of the dining car, the chef had changed to a bartender, he just changed the background music in the carriage, and looked at the passengers with pale faces, he shrugged his shoulders as if innocently.

"Wait, isn't this thing going to collide with us?"

Turning his head, another passenger asked.

The [Orient Express] is running on this route from Zhuxia to the Pan West Sea!

"Normally, no, the two countries will monitor these mobile natural disasters that have always existed, so every year [the Orient Express] will also stop running for a month or two."

Makero Wu explained with a smile.

At this time, the train finally passed through the storm, behind him, the song of the cloud whale mixed with lightning and thunder echoed, ahead, the warm winter sun fell, shining on the carriage, for a while, it made people feel like a world away.

A few passengers seemed to think that it was time to go back to rest and rest, got up and left the carriage, a man who loved to drink had already sat in front of the bar, asking the bartender to bring a glass of liquor to relieve the boredom of the journey, and at the front table, it seemed that four young passengers were traveling together playing poker, and passengers who had only woken up until now rubbed their sleepy eyes, ready to find some food to cushion their stomachs.

The dining car has become laid-back again.

“...... It is said that there is a book-eating yokai in the library of the school city, and she will lend yokai books with magical powers, and those who obtain yokai books will be able to fulfill their wishes, but it will also come at a great price......"

“...... Legend has it that in the shallow sea, there is a sea beast that burns with flames forever, and it often swims in the sea, trying to devour everything it sees......"

“...... In the streets of Greenwich late at night, it is said that you can see a headless horseman riding a flaming motorcycle, speeding past with manic laughter......"

“...... In the shallow depths of the sea, a dilapidated ghost ship sails through it, the crew of which is long dead, but still uses its decaying and festering body to control the ship, killing all the creatures it encounters and plundering it......"

“...... Legend has it that an alchemist of the Holy Alliance created a golden wine that would keep the drinker young and youthful......"

“...... Some kind of city in the far north has fallen into the abyss, and the city's controller has to sacrifice living people to keep the whole city from erosion, but on the surface, the city is extremely normal, and it continues to attract tourists to come and become sacrifices......"

Macro-Wu said some legends and anecdotes that Bai Ge had either heard or had not heard, some of which were actually images of natural disasters in the eyes of ordinary people, some of which were pure nonsense, and some of which Bai Ge was not sure of, might be urban legends created by some ascenders for the sake of the name ceremony.

After entering the third order and completing the name attack ceremony for the first time, Bai Ge had a deeper understanding of the name attack ceremony.

The reason why this naming ceremony is a ceremony is because of its "sense of ceremony".

This represents the final name of the historical fragments fused by the ascender, and the resonance of the fate of the two, so although the name attack ceremony does not limit the specific behavior, it is a particularly important link in the chain of promotion, if there is no name attack ceremony, then the impact of the historical fragment will continue to the whole life after that, at least mental disorder, or direct violent death.

Therefore, sometimes some of the inexplicable actions of the upgraders are actually preparing for the name attack ceremony, from a certain point of view, this is also the "heart" that Li Siye told Bai Ge.

In the name attack, it is necessary to unify the fragments of history with one's own will, and resonate with fate, in order to better improve oneself.

As for Bai Ge, he believed that if there was a chance to assassinate Bi Zhenyan, who had been promoted to the fourth order, then his [Assassin] stage would definitely be almost complete.

After all, most of the assassins in the [Legend of Assassins] are assassinating kings, and the fourth order of the upgraded chain is the [Overlord's Egg] that attacked the emperor.

Before that, Bai Ge probably needs to find some evil people to hone his assassin skills, and by the way, improve his reputation, well, it is better to be those who are very evil.

Macro-Wu and Philo Young are still chatting with Professor Henrik and the little girl Nala, but the conversation has changed from strange to simple past and everyday topics.

After a simple lunch, Bai Ge left the dining car, crossed the conductor's room, and returned to the private room to take a nap.

As for the scheduled study or something, let's talk about it after sleeping.

He had just laid down when he suddenly sensed the sound of unfamiliar footsteps in the hallway—he instinctively remembered the footsteps of all the passengers and conductors in this carriage, just in case.

If it was just a simple visit, Bai Ge didn't care, but the footsteps were obviously lighter, which was deliberately covered, and at this time, it was difficult for Bai Ge not to think about it.

A tiptoeing thief? On this [Orient Express]?

He had heard of some thieves who chose luxury cruise ships or long-distance trains where the rich gathered, pretending to be guests, and taking advantage of the psychological gap between the passengers who thought that there would be no thieves on the high-end trains.

Let's see what the other party is doing?

Bai Ge thought about it and decided to stand still for now.

What if it's really just a fool who just wants to "surprise" his friends?

He heard the footsteps cross his doorway and come to the door of the next room.

Click-

The subtle sound of picking the lock reached Bai Ge's keen ears, and he got up slightly, ready to get out of bed.

The sneaky guy walked into the next room, and after a while, Bai Ge really wanted to open the door and go out, and catch a current time.

The breath next door is gone.

It's not the kind of deliberate breath that I know I've been discovered, but even the heartbeat, the flow of blood, and the trembling of my muscles have completely disappeared, and it's as silent as death.

At the moment, the next compartment is like a black hole, from which not even light can escape.

Bai Ge's hand that was about to open the door stopped.

He didn't minimize his aura, because then someone might notice the change in his aura and find out that Bai Ge had already discovered the other party.

Bai Ge maintained his normal breath, like a passenger who had just fallen asleep and had to get out of bed because of some personal problems.

But in the palm of Bai Ge's right hand, the invisible dagger has already appeared, ready to be thrown out of his hand at any time, and at the same time, Bai Ge is also ready to directly use the [Disappearing Magic] to transfer to the end of the carriage - he can swap places with the conductor's chair.

He placed his left hand on the doorknob and waited for ten seconds.

At this moment, the breath next door suddenly appeared again, and everything was as usual, as if the middle ten seconds had been slashed.

The footsteps sounded again, only this time, less cover-up and more dragging, like a stiff puppet being dragged by something.

When the sound was far away, the invisible dagger in the white singer slowly disappeared, and he waited a little longer, and only then did he open the door and pretend to be going to the bathroom to meet by chance.

"It's not always convenient to be in the car."

Bai Ge said apologetically, and when the four of them opened the door, they inadvertently glanced at the other party's box.

Everything works fine without any strange changes.
