Chapter 16: Speculation Fails

Hang Yi returned to his seat and saw Dong Manni sitting on the sofa, spinning a Rubik's Cube. The little boy sat next to her and watched her play.

The boy's mother came over and asked in a low voice, "Someone is dead again?" ”

Hang Yi nodded slightly.

The boy's mother was with her son just now, and she didn't go to the eighth car, and she didn't see Sun Yuchen using his superpowers. But she sensed that something was wrong, and said with a worried face: "The train can't stop, and passengers keep dying." What the hell is wrong with this train, is it cursed by the devil? ”

The devil is right behind you, sitting with your son. Hang Yi thought to himself and didn't say it. The boy's mother sighed and walked towards the bathroom at the end of the carriage.

Han Feng whispered to Sun Yuchen, "Can you use mind reading to spy on Dong Manni's thinking?" ”

Sun Yuchen said: "I have done this a long time ago. But she has established a psychological defense line to prevent me from snooping on any of her thoughts, which is simply leaky. ”

At this time, Dong Manni completed the six-sided restoration of the Rubik's Cube. Xiao Yuan clapped his hands and said, "Big sister is so amazing!" ”

Lei Ao stared at Dong Manni for a moment, couldn't help but walk up to her, and said, "When the first person died, you were playing chess; This time, you're playing with a Rubik's Cube. Is it true that every time you come out with a new gadget, one person dies? ”

The little boy looked at Lei Ao inexplicably. Dong Manni was probably afraid of scaring the child, so she said to him, "Xiao Yuan, can I pour my sister a glass of water?" Be careful not to burn. ”

"No problem!" Xiao Yuan took the space cup and ran towards the place where the boiling water was connected.

Dong Manni asked Lei Ao: "Do you think this is the 'law of death'?" ”

Lei Ao glared at her. Dong Manni smiled: "If you don't speak, I'll treat you as a default." Then I'm telling you - you guessed wrong. ”

As soon as the words fell, Lei Ao seemed to be 'sucked' out of the shell of his soul, and fell to the side, unconscious.

Han Feng and Sun Yuchen hurriedly supported Lei Ao, and Han Feng shouted angrily, "What did you do to him?!" ”

"Rest assured, he's not dead. It's just a temporary withdrawal from this 'gamble'. "I told you before that everyone only has one chance to guess the pattern. Leo had already used his chance, and he was wrong. So he will temporarily fall into a state of 'lost soul'. ”

"When will he recover?" Sun Yuchen asked.

"If you solve the puzzle – that is, defeat me, and he will recover. If you fail, don't worry about him - you'll all end the same anyway. Dong Manni said.

The little boy came back from fetching water. Everyone could only carry Lei Ao to the sleeper. His condition looked like a soulless shell, resembling a vegetative state.

In the afternoon, a flight attendant checked everyone's passports and tickets next to each other in the carriage. Han Feng helped find Lei Ao's. Checked to Xiao Yuan, the flight attendant found that he did not have a ticket. As to whether Xiao Yuan's height reached the prescribed free ticket of 1.2 meters, the flight attendant and the boy's mother had a dispute. In the end, the mother reluctantly helped the child make up a ticket, but said dissatisfiedly: "There are so many serious things that happened on the train, and you are entangled in these small details, which is really putting the cart before the horse!" ”

The conductor said dutifully: "The train has now entered the territory of 'Mongolian' ancient times, and it stands to reason that it should be subject to entry inspection, so please cooperate." ”

Hang Yi looked at the back of the flight attendant, and suddenly got some kind of inspiration, he whispered to his companions: "Maybe we should be like this flight attendant, patrolling each carriage separately." You can't passively wait for the next deceased to appear. Maybe the pattern of death has something to do with what happens in the carriage. ”

Han Feng thinks it makes sense: "What should we do specifically?" ”

Hang Yi thought for a moment and deployed: "Except for the No. 3 and No. 4 carriages where the dining car and luggage cart are located. Each of us is responsible for two carriages. I 1 and 2, Mi Xiaolu 5 and 6, Lu Hua 7 and 8, Sun Yuchen 10 and 11, Han Feng 12 and 13, Ji Kairui 14 and 15 - how? ”

"What about me?" Shu Fei and Sina asked almost at the same time.

"You two stay in car nine. Lei Ao is unconscious now, and someone needs to watch him. In addition, you should also pay more attention to whether there is any abnormal condition in this carriage. Communicate with the nearest person immediately if something happens. Hang Yi said.

Everyone agreed to this arrangement and immediately went their separate ways.

It's just after three o'clock in the afternoon. Lu Hua came to car 7 and observed each passenger next to each passenger. Probably because the train can't stop, people can't stop worrying. They couldn't sleep well and didn't want to enjoy the scenery, as if they were worried that the crazy train would get worse in the next second. However, when Lu Hua walked into the carriage and met the eyes of these people, the expressions on their faces were not only worried, but panic.

Lu Hua clearly felt people's hostility towards him. Despite his kind face, he had never done anything threatening before. But he is the companion of Ji Kairui and Sun Yuchen, who have previously 'revealed' their weapons and superpowers, respectively - this alone is enough to cause people to be feared.

Especially when he walked to car 8, where only one person had died in the morning, and people were still immersed in fear. When Lu Hua walked in and looked at them, these people were full of vigilance. The atmosphere in the carriage was tense. Lu Hua couldn't continue to inspect, so he had to come to the No. 7 carriage again.

However, when an eight- or nine-year-old foreign girl saw Lu Hua walking to her side again, she buried her head in her mother's arms and cried. While comforting the child, her mother said to Lu Hua: "Pleasestop, plea what? )”

Lu Hua was stunned and said, "ididnothing. )”

(I know you guys are in control of this train.) And you know that you have weapons and the ability to terror. But please leave us alone, especially my 'daughter', who is only 8 years old. )”

Lu Hua was stunned. He realized how much the travelers misunderstood them, and the bad thing was that he couldn't logically explain it all, no matter how good his English was to communicate.

Ji Kairui walked to car 15, which was the tail of the entire train. He had already walked back and forth twice in the last two carriages and had not found anything noteworthy. The only thing that is unusual is the gaze around him, and the passengers seem to think that he is a robber who hijacks the train, full of fear.

In particular, he noticed that several white people, apparently Russians, seemed to be whispering 'privately'. In fact, even if they 'talked' loudly, he couldn't understand what they were saying. It seems that it was not a good idea to inspect the carriages, and not only did it fail to make any discoveries, but it only increased people's suspicion and fear.

Just as Ji Kairui was about to leave the No. 15 car and walk back. The three Russians behind him quickly 'exchanged eyes' and changed their looks. A big Russian man combined his fists and slammed into the back of the neck socket from behind. Ji Kairui's eyes went dark and he fainted. Three Russians stepped forward together and dragged him to the end of the car. A male flight attendant opened the power distribution room with a key.

The three Russians tied Ji Kairui's hands behind his back with thick ropes and stuffed 'hairy' scarves in his mouth. Probably afraid that he would break free when he woke up, the flight attendant found a bundle of steel ropes to pull the goods, and tied him firmly and firmly around several times, and several people finally reassured, left the power distribution room, and locked the 'door'.

Shu Fei paced back and forth in car 9. Maybe it's because she's been in this carriage from the beginning, and because she's a 'woman', people don't pay much attention to it. However, Shu Fei found some clues.

Xiao Yuan took out the problem of finding the pattern of numbers given to him by the "big sister" again. At first, when Shu Fei passed by him, he didn't care. When she walked by for the third time, she noticed a page in Xiao Yuan's hand, which was a question that Xiao Yuan had done when she and Xin Na saw when the train had just started:

Observe the following number series, find out the pattern, and fill in the appropriate number in parentheses according to the pattern:

1,8,27,64,125,,343

Xiao Yuan's mother was sleeping on the top bunk at this time. Shu Fei stared at this string of numbers for a long time, seemed to think of something, and muttered: "The first person to die is from the No. 1 carriage; The second person who died, from car 8, is it ......?"

Sina stood up, glanced at the question, and said, "But there can't be car 27 or even car 64 on the train." ”

"Yes, but what if you only take a single digit?" Shu Fei said.

Xinna opened her mouth slightly, and the two looked at each other.

Hang Yi stayed in carriages 1 and 2 for half an hour and realized that it was impossible to find anything. On the contrary, it was the hostile gazes of the travelers that made his heart palpitate. He wasn't going to go any further. He called Mi Xiaolu and Lu Hua, and the three of them returned to the No. 9 carriage together.

As soon as he walked to the seat, Hang Yi saw Xinna holding the unconscious Shu Fei, anxious and helpless. He hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong with Shu Fei?" ”

Sina said sadly, "She thought she had discovered the law of death, but she wasn't." "Hand the paper with the inscription written on it to Hang Yi and Lu Hua.

Lu Hua glanced at it, understood, and said with annoyance: "It can't be so simple. Why didn't she talk to us? ”

"I also advised her not to say it, but she was anxious to ask Dong Manni for confirmation, and the result was ......"

"The result is that you have lost another chance," Dong Manni sneered while lying on her top bunk, "I always thought that Shu Fei was a careful 'woman', but I didn't expect her to be as impulsive as a stunned boy like Lei Ao." ”

Hang Yi gritted his teeth and glared at this hateful 'woman', before he could have a quick attack, Sun Yuchen and Han Feng hurriedly walked over and said, "Ji Kairui is gone. ”

"Gone? What do you mean? Xinna was stunned.

"He was supposed to be in cars 14 and 15, but when we tried to go back and call him, we found out that he wasn't in either car at all. And I'm sure he didn't pass by the 12th and 13th carriages, because I was there all the time. Han Feng said.

"There's no way he'll disappear into thin air!" Xina said.

"Yes, but where did he go?" Han Feng said in confusion.

Lu Hua remembered his situation in car 8 and speculated: "I suspect that the passengers have started to join forces against us, they think we are robbers or dangerous people. ”

Mi Xiaolu and Sun Yuchen nodded, they also had the same feelings and experiences.

"No matter what, Ji Kairui must still be on this train, we must find him quickly!" Hang Yi immediately decided, "Let's not separate this time." Han Feng, Lu Hua, let's go find it together. ”

The three of them started from car 10, checked the toilets, seats, and 'beds' in each car one by one, and went to the power distribution room at the rear of the car, where they found that they needed to open it with a key.

Hang Yi said to the attendant at the back of the car: "One of our companions is missing, please open this 'door' and let us see." ”

The conductor said: "I'm sorry, but the power distribution room is related to the operation and power system of the entire train, and no passengers are allowed to enter. Besides, I've been staying here, and this 'door' has always been closed, and no one can be inside. ”

"We just go in and have a look, and no one will come out right away." Han Feng said.

"I can't break the rules, please don't embarrass me."

Han Feng wanted to say something more, but Hang Yi pulled him and signaled with his eyes: The flight attendants should be trustworthy, and it is impossible for them to kidnap passengers.

Han Feng had no choice but to give up. The conductor said, "Your friend may have arrived in another car, so please look for it again." If I still can't find it, I'll use the radio to post a missing person notice. ”

Hang nodded in agreement, and the three of them left the last carriage. The male flight attendant looked at their backs, exhaled, and glanced at the Russians sitting in the back row.

Hang Yi and the others returned to the No. 9 carriage and told their companions the results of the search. Xina suddenly had a terrible guess: "Someone must have attacked Ji Kairui and threw him off the train, right?" ”

"I don't know." Hang Yi frowned, "I hope that's not the case." "Infinite Abilities: Ultra Taboo Game:.

"If Shu Fei hadn't had an accident, she would have been able to sense where Ji Kairui was immediately using her superpowers." Lu Hua sighed, "It's a pity that she has ......"

Hang glanced at Shu Fei and Lei Ao, who were unconscious, and felt as if a heavy stone had been pressed in his heart.

Within a day, he lost two partners, Lei Ao and Shu Fei.

Ji Kairui is also missing.

To make matters worse, the passengers became more and more misunderstood and began to join forces against them.

And the damn law of death, no clue at all.

Hang Yi suddenly panicked. We're not going to really be all wiped out on this train, are we?
