In an instant, even Bai Ge had hairs on his back standing up.

As a "former" member of the Abyss Relic Affairs Division, Bai Ge naturally knew what this thing was.

In the borderless land of Zhuxia and the Pan-Western Sea Commercial Community, the [natural disaster] that lasts forever and exists forever, cannot be stopped!!

[Hamel's Piper]!

Bai Ge could see countless black particles floating in the carriage, flying with the sound of the flute.

How could it be at this time?

He was more confused than surprised.

It is true that the Pied Piper of Hamel will occasionally appear on the route of the Orient Express, but the observatories in both countries will observe this long-standing natural disaster to ensure that when it approaches its route, it will be able to alert the Orient Express to stop its departure and avoid it.

Because of this, there is a period of time every year when the Orient Express is in a state of rest.

Something is wrong with the observatory? Still is......

Something is wrong with the Scourge itself?

Bai Ge didn't dig deeper, since it had already appeared, then he could only avoid it.

He hurriedly threw the coin into the private room through the crack in the door, and then, [Vanishing Magic]!

In the White Singer, an invisible dagger appeared, and he immediately saw the true face of the twilight wolf.

It was an old man, about fifty years old, with purple-red eyes, gray temples, and a pan-Western Sea-style suit, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, and if he had seen him elsewhere, Bai Ge might have thought that he was a kind old man and not a cold-blooded and ruthless assassin.

Twilight Wolf put his hands in front of him, as if he was manipulating a puppet, he was slightly surprised to see Bai Ge suddenly appear in the box, it seemed that he was going to manipulate the people in the nearby private room to make abnormal moves to circumvent it, but the sudden appearance of [Hamel's Piper] caught him off guard, and Bai Ge's appearance completely disrupted his rhythm.

As for Professor Henrik and Nala, they seemed to be hypnotized to a certain extent, and sat on the sidelines, unable to react in any way.

Without hesitation, Bai Ge's dagger headed towards the heart of the twilight wolf.

But as soon as Twilight Wolf retracted his hands, Professor Henrik and Nala stood between him and Bai Ge.

"Tsk."

Bai Ge reversed the trajectory of the dagger and passed through the gap between the two, but Twilight Wolf had already smashed the hard glass of the window with his bare hands, and a cold cold wind poured in, and immediately, Twilight Wolf jumped out of the window.

He pulled his right hand, and Nala jumped out with him.

The sound of the flute became even louder, and the black particles formed one figure after another, engulfing Twilight Wolf and Nala in an instant.

“！”

Bai Ge finally threw out the invisible dagger, but the dagger was blocked by the grand parade and failed to hit anything, and he immediately tried to exchange Nala back with [Vanishing Magic], but also failed.

Twilight Wolf chose to enter the Scourge!

"Come back soon!"

Outside the open private room door, Macron Wu let out a shout and pulled Bai Ge and Professor Henrik back.

At this time, the carriage was completely overwhelmed by the figure of the black particles, and the procession occupied the width of the two carriages, coming from the horizon and heading towards the horizon, as if there was no end.

"Twilight Wolf enters the parade with Nala......"

Bai Ge said.

"It's ......"

Philo Young, whose wound had just been treated simply, was extremely surprised, as we all know, [Hamel's Piper] is a veritable natural disaster, a disaster that takes lives, how can anyone dare to take the initiative to enter the natural disaster?

But Macro-Wu's expression was solemn, as if he had thought of something.

At the same time, Bai Ge also surfaced the natural disaster files that he had seen in Ailian's house before, including the dossier about [Hamel's Piper] more than 400 years ago.

"[Hamel's Piper], a natural disaster, unsolvable, uninstructable, uncontained, manifested in the form of a grand procession composed of many people, led by a young flute man dressed in the retro clothes of the Pan-Western Seas in the old era, this natural disaster has no trigger conditions, will randomly appear in the border between the Pan-Western Sea Commercial Community and the Zhuxia Federation, an area of about five million square kilometers, according to years of observation records, the natural disaster does not have a fixed route, but its movement speed is consistent with the speed of human walking, It is possible to determine in advance where it will appear. ”

“...... In 732, at Fort Black, on the border between the Pan-Western Sea Commercial Community and the Zhuxia Federation, the disaster first appeared, and according to the surviving eyewitnesses at the time, it was a night when the melodious and continuous sound of the flute was heard, and immediately those who heard the flute had a strong urge to go out, especially for children under the age of twelve......"

“...... People would involuntarily join the procession and follow the piper out of the city, and a widespread survey of survivors revealed that a child under the age of 12 would die an hour after the parade, and for those over 12, the time would be extended to three hours......"

“...... After entering the parade, human beings will see all kinds of beautiful illusions, which will motivate them to stay in the parade, but by their own will, there are also people who can break free from the parade, and according to the survey, whether they can break free is related to whether they are elevated, mental strength, dissatisfaction with reality, etc......"

“...... In terms of pure danger, [Hamel's Piper] does not cause much harm to humans, but its widespread existence cannot be eliminated, and the random appearance of characteristics causes a large area to be unusable, and at the same time, once it stays in the parade for too long, even high-level ascenders will die, and due to its unstoppable nature, depending on the density of the area it passes through, it may cause great disasters, so it is judged to be a [natural disaster]......"

To put it simply, this is a psychological natural disaster that abducts human beings, and unlike [Apocalypse], which directly takes human lives, even if it is contacted by a natural disaster, there is still a chance to survive.

Therefore, the twilight wolf chose to hide in the natural disaster to escape the pursuit, just to gamble that the other party would not dare to catch up.

“...... Wake up. ”

Macron Wu first used his ability to awaken the hypnotized Professor Henrik, who had just woken up and looked inside the private room, trying to find traces of his granddaughter Nala.

"Where's Nala?"

He asked eagerly.

She ...... Brought into the Scourge by the Twilight Wolf. ”

Makero Wu briefly explained the situation in a few words.

At this time, in Bai Ge's ears, a certain voice was echoing like a whisper, this voice seemed to be the superposition of various old languages, layered on top of each other, making people in a trance, and involuntarily wanted to join the illusory procession and break free from the shackles of reality.

“...... No, I—I have to get Nala back......"

As if hearing such a voice, Professor Henrik's eyes became trance-like.

"Nala is what really matters...... She's ......."

“？”

Hearing Professor Henrik's words, Bai Ge was a little confused.

"What the hell is going on?"

Bai Ge glanced at the grand procession, fortunately this was inside the train, most people had to leave the train even if they wanted to follow the parade, and the conductor seemed to have locked all the doors, and ordinary people couldn't get out at all, so it didn't cause more trouble.

“...... I, the project I researched, is completely autonomous artificial intelligence...... It is an alchemy doll that has the ability to think almost in line with humans...... The final result of his research was Nala. ”

Professor Henrik said in a daze.

"Nala is indeed my granddaughter, but she, like her parents, lost her life in that tragic accident...... In order to save her, I completely scanned her brain, and combined with my own research, created an artificial intelligence that is almost identical to the mind of a normal human...... Put it on the most advanced bionic alchemy doll at the moment, and it becomes the ...... of Nora."

"I thought the attackers were coming at me and ignoring Nala, but I didn't expect ......",

Hearing Professor Henrik's narration, Macro-Wu and Philo Young's expressions were a little complicated for a while.

Surprised, confused, and a little angry.

I was amazed that artificial intelligence could be made in this way.

It was perplexing how the attackers learned that Nala was the most valuable research achievement.

As for the anger, it was the anger at Henrik, nay, Professor Theon, who had used his dead granddaughter as an experimental material, for such a dehumanized act.

In their eyes, this is blasphemy against humanity.

But Bai Ge thought of something else, that is, the [Miracle] created by Lao Huo, the act of fixing the soul of the dead love on the [Philosopher's Stone], and what Professor Henrik did, in fact, were all for the same purpose.

Reluctance to the deceased.

“...... That is, the essence of Nala is an alchemy puppet? ”

Bai Ge looked thoughtfully at the grand procession.

"What do you want to do?"

Macron Wu seemed to sense Bai Ge's thoughts and asked.

Bai Ge doesn't understand these artificial intelligence and other professional knowledge, but since the other party attaches so much importance to Nala, it must mean that this technology is very important to those people.

"It takes three hours for [Hamel's Piper] effects to take full effect on adults."

"This natural disaster is more of a spiritual impact than a physical one."

"The use of a third-order ascender attack shows that Nala is very important to them."

Bai Ge said, straightened out his messy clothes, and came to the window.

"Do you want to go into a natural disaster to save her? You are crazy? It was just an alchemy doll...... It's just a doll. ”

Macron Wu was surprised to say that even as an MI5 operative, he didn't have the courage to break into the sphere of influence of [Hamel's Piper] to recapture Nala, who was just an artificial intelligence carrier.

“...... As long as the professor is still around, he can always recreate that alchemy puppet, and you don't have to risk it. ”

It's a bit of a cruel statement, but it's true.

No matter how similar it is to humans, alchemy dolls are alchemy dolls.

"To you, she might just be an alchemy doll."

With a wave, Bai Singer got a half-high silk top hat from somewhere, put it on his head, and then touched it in his pocket, took out something, and gently placed it on the table in the private room.

"But for me, she's just as human."

It was a milk candy, and Nala gave it to Bai Ge in exchange.

Macro-Wu and Philo Yang were stunned, only to see Bai Ge jump out of the train through the window and disappear into the grand procession.
