58. Train robbery
The Bunsar subway station smells of kerosene and rust, and in a space of black iron fences and dimly lit wooden walls, many passengers carry their luggage and wait idly like a herd of idle animals.
Leila said, "I'm going to ask the person in charge here." ”
She found a pavilion in which sat a bored man who didn't like anyone. Leila gave him a big smile and asked, "Excuse me!" This made the bored man immediately cheer up and replied, "What's the matter?" ”
I think it was the right thing to bring Laila in, after all, dealing with men is very beneficial to her.
Leila: "Well, I'd like to ask, there was a train bound for the Coal Gate about an hour ago, can you help me find out where it went?" ”
The man said, "Miss, what shall I ask?" Calling? By radio? It's all a unique device on a train. I want to check, but I can only wait for the telegram that came from the train when it arrived. ”
Leila put on a pitiful, weak and helpless look again, and said, "Please, I'm in a hurry." ”
The man sighed and smiled, "For your sake, you're a little cutie." He walked into the back of the pavilion, and after five minutes of great impatience, came back with a note, saying: "The train was delayed for half an hour on the way, and now it has just arrived at the 'cigar station.'" That is, just to the edge of Ponzaar. ”
Layla: "And when is the nearest train to the Coal Gate?" ”
The man said, "You want to buy a ticket?" One hundred silver dollars. ”
Leila said, "So expensive? ”
The man pointed to Leila's T-shirt and said, "You're worth a ticket, miss, and I'm pretty much at the price for your cuteness." ”
Leila shook her body and said angrily, "You're taking advantage of me at all!" ”
The man chuckled under his breath, "If you really let me take advantage, I can give you a ticket." ”
Leila looked at me and asked, "What's the advantage?" ”
The man said, "I just want to touch you... You furry.... Stuff, you know. ”
Leila said, "All my furry stuff is my head!" ”
The man laughed, "That is, it hasn't grown hair yet?" I love this one the most! ”
Leila wanted to slap the man, but she seemed to want to take care of the bigger picture and didn't want to make trouble.
I looked at the billboard, and the ticket to the Coal Gate was only two silver dollars, and the man saw that we were from a foreign land, and wanted to extort money, and his face was extremely ugly.
I asked, "Is the two-dollar ticket gone?" ”
When the man saw me, he showed the high-minded and pretentious expression peculiar to a sesame petty official, and said fiercely: "You came too late, the tickets are all sold out, but I have two special tickets, two hundred silver dollars each." ”
Leila said angrily, "Why did you increase the price? You don't have to ride in a car yourself! ”
The man said, "It's normal, it's a hot commodity, you don't want it." Suddenly, his lips turned blue, as if he had epilepsy, his eyes were about to bounce to the ground, and he said in a trembling voice, "You.... You...."
I emitted black nightmares that ate away at his mind, and he hallucinated and was locked up in a dark and dangerous chamber outside of which vicious beasts coveted his flesh. He clutched his heart and felt as if he was going to die on the spot.
This man is a vulgar idiot who can kill him from the fear of a black nightmare alone.
I said, "Two tickets, thank you." ”
It took him the best effort of his life to hand us the two tickets, and I ended the nightmare, and he lay on the table, a smell of urine wafting out of the pavilion. He had a heart attack, which seemed to be quite serious, and even if he didn't die, he was in no mood to flirt with girls in his life.
Leila said, "You can do it yourself, so why should I have to talk to this nasty thing for more?" What he said made me so shy! ”
I said, "Not everyone can bear fear, excessive fear can make people's brains fall into suspended animation, and the slightest mistake can really kill you." ”
Lyra: "Then you still need my beauty trick?" ”
"You can think of it as a test, I need competent subordinates."
Leila smiled lightly, bowed her head, and said, "I'm very capable, my lord." ”
Am I saying something wrong again? What's going on in the minds of these kids? How old is she? Eighteen years old? This should be the most innocent and ignorant age, but her mind is afraid that it is no longer clean, and her physical development is even more astonishing.
We got on the train, the body was quite old, maybe there was a hidden danger of disrepair, of course, it was quite sloppy cleaning, and it may have exceeded the formaldehyde standard, but these are not big problems in the last days.
Leila said, "I was going to travel to the Coal Gate, but I didn't expect it to come true so quickly, and it was you who accompanied me. ”
I'm a big man in the black coffin, shouldn't she be trembling and sitting on pins and needles by my side? But how can Leila talk so much?
I replied indifferently, "It's important to get down to business." ”
"Of course, of course, it's my business to do things with you, my lord."
She leaned her legs and turned sideways, her legs and shoulders resting on me, and I said, "Go a little bit, this son is empty." ”
Leila sighed, "Yes." Turning her face, she seemed to be very lost, vulnerable, sad, and desolate, and people couldn't help but want to hug her and protect her.
These girls are good at creating the illusion of men, making men feel that they can chase her if they work harder, stay with her, and let her be their own woman forever. It is precisely because of this delusion that those men do their best to bankrupt their families, even going to the soup and fire. Halfway through the chase, the men found that the situation was far more difficult than they imagined, but it was a pity to give up at this time, after all, every man has a strong possessive desire for lovely women, and it is this possessiveness that makes it extremely difficult for them to escape from the torment of fantasy.
The saint is right, we are all nothing more than a bunch of primitive beasts driven by **.
I ignored her because she didn't matter to me. Leila changed her routine, looking at the scenery along the way, looking innocent and lively, happy and happy, pointing to the same stones and underground hillsides and laughing, perhaps she was indeed too young to have an inexhaustible spirit and unquenchable curiosity. I'm not interested, and I don't want to judge.
Maybe I can appear normal in front of an abnormal person. And in front of normal people, I will be blackened by the web of madness.
The Coal Gate was just a small town, and not many people left Honsa, and the man in the pavilion just wanted to rip off the bamboo.
Leila asked in a low voice, "My lord, what are you looking for that fat woman for?" ”
I sighed, "Miss Walker, there are some things that are sensitive and you don't have to know. ”
Leila said, "I'm going to graduate, can I be your secretary?" There are some secrets, you can tell me, I promise not to leak them, and I will help you find a way, I have a good brain. ”
I'm going to draw her a pie and give her hope. I replied, "If you behave well, I'll consider it." ”
"How have I behaved so far?"
I replied, "Not bad?" ”
She bit her lip and whispered in my ear, "I'm definitely not acting up to par in bed, because I've never been with anyone else.... But if you teach me, I'm sure I'll be the top student in that either, just like my studies, I'm the best at what I do. ”
I calmly replied, "Please focus on business, kid." ”
Lyra's face turned red as if she had a fever, and hurriedly defended, "I'm sorry, I... I'm really not such a frivolous girl, but in front of you, I can't help it.... I thought that a big man like you would always .... There's always a habit of girls throwing hugs, and if I don't, you'll be... Blame me for being ignorant. ”
I said, "Kid, the only thing you have to do is to be vigilant and smart. It is not safe to move with me, on the contrary, I am the most vulnerable to enemy attacks. ”
"I went to the cab and asked how long it would be to get to the coal gate, and I heard it would be there in half a day," Leila said. ”
It seemed that non-employees were not allowed to enter, but Lyra went anyway.
She left for about ten minutes and hurried back, saying, "I was chatting with the conductor and he said that he had received a message from the train ahead...."
Leila always has a way of getting close to people, which is also a talent, and she can probably be a very good war correspondent.
I asked, "What's the news?" ”
Leila: "The train in front said that there was a strange figure standing in the middle of the tracks, and the conductor braked suddenly, but it turned out that it didn't hit anyone, and he thought it was wrong. ”
I was taken aback and said, "If it's a mistake, why did he message us about this car?" ”
"You know, there are all kinds of strange things these days, and he is afraid that there will be problems with the car behind him, so he must be reminded."
I had a very bad premonition, so I went to the cab with her, and when I opened the door, the conductor was shocked, "Who are you?" No outsiders are allowed here..."
Leila shouted, "Listen, my lord is the Black Coffin Sword Saint Longinus, have you heard of him?" ”
The conductor said, "What? No way? Girl, I can believe the rest of your words, but this..."
I said, "Can you get in touch with the train ahead?" ”
"All messages have to be dispatched through the main console, but in case of an emergency, we can use the radio, provided it's not too far away," the conductor said. ”
I said, "There may be an accident with that car, contact us quickly." ”
The conductor picked up the radio and shouted, "This is the Pulsatilla, call the Mole, call the Mole!" ”
There was no answer from the other side.
The conductor said, "Strange, it stands to reason that we are at the same speed, and they have stopped for a while, so they should not be far away." I'll have to ask the dispatcher, they have a positioning device. ”
The dispatcher absentmindedly replied, "Let's check the location of the Mole." ”
After about ten minutes, the dispatcher shouted eagerly, "Pulsatilla, perhaps.... We read wrong, how is this possible? No, no! Stop now! Stop now! There is an accident! The Mole is less than 300 meters away from you! ”
The train was frightened and hurriedly stepped on the brakes, but the brakes seemed to be half dead, and I jumped out of the carriage, and tried my best to slow the train down, and finally stopped the train. I looked back and saw the Mole resting quietly on the railroad tracks around the dark corner.
The conductor and the conductor stared at me with pale faces, and the conductor said, "He's really..."
Leila said, "What am I talking about?" ”
Someone in the car on the opposite side shouted: "Help! Help me! There are murderers! There are murderers! ”
