October 29, 1675. On the train to Zeiss City, waiters in small black suits push food trucks around. Under the dim kerosene lamps, well-dressed merchants discussed their business with each other. Soundproofed wooden partitions reduce the noise of the train by half, and the other half is muffled by the conversation of the passengers, so that no noise can be heard here.

This is the upper class seat of the train, where the rich sit.

The train car where An Jie is located is at least six or seven seats away from here, there are no waiters, no kerosene lamps, and she has to squeeze a seat with a group of big men who pick their feet. The carriage was bumpy and smelly, and the surrounding men were chatting and playing cards there, and the loud voices were loud. There are at least eight levels of noise.

If you have money, you are the uncle! It is the truth in every world.

Her thoughts drifted away, and when she came back to her senses, the ticket inspector was already looking at An Jie as if the world owed him eight million.

"Check!"

He stretched out his hand, and there was a tendency to throw An Jie out of the car without getting a ticket. The poker-faced and batons in his hands fully showed his determination, and he didn't look accommodating at all because An Jie was a young girl.

An Jie had no choice but to pay the ticket obediently.

The so-called train ticket is a small brown card, and the outer shell is made of copper. It is printed with the logo of the Imperial Railways. An Jie once held it to her ear and shook it, but there was a "click" gear snapping sound from the card.

…… This thing is a small mechanical assembly.

The ticket inspector stuffed the "ticket" into a small machine held by a police officer behind him, and with a "click" sound, the machine spit out the "ticket" along with a piece of paper. The ticket inspector glanced at the note and said, "Anjie Scarlett, born on December 25, 1664, and his destination is Zeiss, for the ............ Visit. Right? ”

An Jie nodded.

The ticket inspector gave her a deep look. "At such a young age, you dare to leave home alone and go to other cities, I really don't know whether to praise you for being fearless, or to say that you don't know the height of the sky! Anyway, have a nice trip, little one. His words caused a group of big men to laugh. The ticket inspector returned the ticket to Anjie and folded the small note into his pocket. Then he looked at the next passenger with a cold eyebrow.

An Jie: ".................. Hehe. ”

She opened the system and looked at the line in the bottom corner of the system.

Mission time remaining: 90 days.

Before she knew it, a week had passed, and Angel Scarlett had less than three months left to live. If she doesn't do anything, she'll celebrate her 10th birthday and report to the underworld.

Time was pressing, An Jie sighed.

While thinking distractedly, he looked out the window.

The skies of the empire were dark and dreary most of the time, and this was the price of industrial prosperity. In An Jie's view, the empire's industry has embarked on the road of black technology. The best example of this is the "ticket gate" that the ticket inspector used to hold, which is something called a "difference machine".

The so-called "differential machine" is a steam-powered computer. This thing appeared more than ten years ago, and it spread immediately when it was discovered, and now it has become an indispensable thing in the office of the Council. Fax, telegram, as long as the text is entered into the differential machine, "click-click", a document will appear in another differential machine thousands of miles away. However, because it is "high-tech", fax or something is also expensive and expensive.

She's been on the train for three days, and it's rumbling through town after town. One more stop, she will arrive in the city of Zeiss in search of new opportunities.

But sometimes, fate is such a wonderful thing.

It was about 130 kilometers away from Anjie's train, and there was a sudden rumbling sound on the ground. Along the right side of the tracks, you can clearly see a huge dirt bag rising from the ground, which stopped quietly next to the tracks for a while, and then disappeared again.

……………………

On the train that Anjie took, the first-class compartment.

"Good luck with our business. Here, cheers! ”

"Cheers!"

"Hehe, cheers."

Several big businessmen from the imperial capital are celebrating another big business cooperation.

"Colonel Anson? Why do you want to sit there and sullen all the time. A businessman noticed Colonel Anson, who was sitting alone in the corner, and asked as he walked over with a glass.

Colonel Anson looked at the merchant and smiled at him reluctantly: "Sorry, I'm a little sick from the car, maybe it will be fine in a while, you don't have to worry about me." "The last sentence he said was addressed to the merchants who were attracted by the movement here." Enjoy the trip, my team and I will do our best to keep you safe. ”

The merchants smiled knowingly, and said that they should tell Colonel Anson not to overwork, if he is tired, we have medicine.

…… Colonel Anson was helpless.

Pushing off the kindness of the merchants, he sat alone on the sofa in the corner, feeling exhausted. The whole person seems to be more than ten years old! And what caused him to become like this was none other than the commander-in-chief of their Northern Military District, General Christine Saint-Boan!

She's missing.

That's right, the commander-in-chief of one side did not leave a word, and when he said he was missing, he was missing.

Colonel Anson, who was so frightened that he almost went incontinent, urgently contacted the deputy commander-in-chief, Admiral Lessa.

"Admiral Leza! Commander-in-Chief she, she, she's missing! ”

"Oh, it's missing. When was this? ”

"October 22nd! At noon the day after she arrived at the fortress, I had to report to her about the retreat, but I found that His Excellency the Commander was not in the office, and I searched the fortress and said that I didn't see it! ”

"Well, in that case, did she find any strange information before she left?"

"No...... No, in fact, I told His Excellency the Commander about the earthquake. ”

"Earthquakes? The earthquakes that are now occurring frequently in cities in the north? ”

"Northland cities? I just told the Commander about the earthquake near the fortress, did it happen elsewhere? ”

“………… Fortresses, earthquakes, missing ............, nothing more, hard work Colonel Anson, about the disappearance of the commander-in-chief let the officers keep it secret from the soldiers, just don't cause panic. You are an officer from the imperial capital, you may not know very well, she has disappeared not once or twice, just get used to it. With that, he hung up the phone, leaving Colonel Anson alone in place.

Isn't it once or twice that I've disappeared?

Just get used to it?

He felt that the three views he had learned at the military university were collapsing.

Fortunately, he received the order in time, and the headquarters issued an order. Let him transfer the old tanks of the 65th Army, the 2nd Armored Brigade that have remained in the fortress so far, out of the fortress, and lead the empire's new iron-fisted heavy steam tank back to Zeiss City after the handover in the rear city..................

……………… Jolt?

Colonel Anson suddenly reacted, this is a first-class box! The damping systems are specially modified! No matter how bad the road surface is, it won't be as bumpy as it is now! And the degree of train bump is getting worse!

He suddenly thought of something and poked his head out the window.

“！！！！！！！”

Colonel Anson pulled his head back, ignoring his elite demeanor, and shouted at the bewildered merchants:

"Lying down ————!!!"

"Boom !!!"

An Jie, who was sitting in the trunk of the car, was telling the foot-picking men about the story of Heaven and Dragon Slayer, venting the boredom of the journey. When talking about Zhang Wuji's battle against the heroes, the carriage under the seat suddenly jolted violently, interrupting her words and making her almost bite her tongue! But before she could scold, more violent vibrations followed! Knocked her out!

The earth was cracking, as if something was wriggling and trying to climb up from the ground! It's so big! Just one act of getting up lifted the train on its back!

The carriages were forced to separate, some tumbled from the air and fell to the ground, and some were directly buried by the raised earth! The cars that were thrown to the ground were flattened and deformed by gravity, and blood flowed out of the deformed cars and mixed with the dirt, no longer distinguishing from each other. The cars buried in the mud don't end much better, maybe the people inside will live longer, but in the lack of oxygen and darkness, living longer also means suffering longer! What's more, the entire carriage was overheaded! The car rotated 360 degrees in the air with the passengers inside, and then smashed it to the ground! They didn't even have time to wail, so they passed away in agony.

"Goo......... Belch......... Ha, ha! Ahhh ”

A sharp pain woke An Jie up! She screamed, trying to brace herself and staring blankly. The elated foot-picking men who had listened to her talk about Heaven and Dragon Slaying before had all turned into a pile of curious corpses, and the exposed steel bars were covered with bloodstains! She was the only one in the entire carriage who survived because of her small size! But even so, her situation can't be said to be much better!

An Jie gasped and looked at the right hand that had been twisted into a twisted shape, this hand was completely useless, and the protruding bone spurs after the fracture even pierced the skin! The originally white arm has turned a terrifying purple due to bruising, and on the swollen "twist", Bai Sensen's bone spurs as an embellishment are so shocking!

Pain! Severe pain in bone erosion! I want to faint in pain!

But An Jie's spirit at the moment is extremely excited, and the high-speed secretion of adrenaline brings the power of action and full value of anger! She gasped, her red eyes glowing with indescribable madness!

With great difficulty propping up her bruised body from the abandoned carriage, she scanned the surroundings, passed over the bodies of the victims, and soon discovered the culprit who caused it all!

"It's you.................." An Jie gasped in pain as she looked at the culprit who had caused all this. It was as if I heard a girl's voice. "It" also turned back.

"That's you, bastard! …… Huh...... Uh......"

Blood trickled down her body, reflecting Angel's face twisted with pain and anger.

“…… Huh...... Ha...... Give me...... Give it to me———!! ”

An Jie's eyes widened suddenly!

"Give Me Death !!!!!!"

In the face of An Jie's anger, "it" roared back without fear!

"Ang !!!!!!!"
