Chapter 19: The Masses Who Don't Know the Truth
The deceased this time was a Russian in car No. 6, about fifty years old and weighing about 150 kilograms. His wife fell on top of him, weeping bitterly, speaking Russian she did not understand. According to the descriptions of some Chinese passengers around, Hang Yi and the others learned that the Russian man had been sitting in his seat and chatting with his wife two minutes ago, and suddenly collapsed and died suddenly.
Lu Hua hurriedly looked at his watch - a quarter past four. This is the only one of the deceased who knows the exact time of death so far. He realized that this was an important message.
Hang Yi was in a very heavy mood. The competition between them, the superpowers, has swept innocent people into it. What's even more terrifying is that the train will arrive at the terminal station in the last two days, and if Dong Manni's superpowers are not cracked within two days, the entire train will become funeral objects.
Mi Xiaolu touched Hang Yi's elbow and reminded him of the Russians who had arrived from car 15. Their eyes widened and they glared angrily at Hang Yi and the others. Perhaps because the deceased this time were Russians, they suspected that the previous conflict had caused the superpowers to start attacking the Russians.
The conductor directed six or seven men to carry the body to the luggage car, which was about to become a funeral home.
Back in the No. 9 car, Lu Hua carefully compared the information of the five deceased people recorded so far, and gradually found clues, he said to Hang Yi and Xin Na: "I have found a pattern. ”
"What is it?" Hang Yi hurriedly asked.
Lu Hua said: "The first few deceased were basically found after a period of time after they died. Because the train was heated, it hindered the determination of the time of death. But this time, the deceased was found just after he died, so we can know the exact time of his death - 4:13 or 4:14.
Hang nodded: "So what?" ”
Lu Hua pointed to the information recorded in the notebook and said: "Assuming that according to the 24-hour system, four o'clock in the afternoon is 16 o'clock, and if you only take a single digit, it is '6'." And this deceased was in car No. 6. ”
Hang Yi carefully looked at the death time and carriage number of the first few deceased, and found that they basically corresponded to this law, and he said: "Assuming that the estimated death time error is within one hour, it will all be in line!" The deceased in car 1 died at '11', the deceased in car 8 died at '18', car 4 at '14', and car 2 at '22'! ”
Xina also understood: "No wonder no one has ever died after car 10 so far, because the time of death will only correspond to the single digit in the 24-hour clock." ”
Mi Xiaolu, who was listening to them talking, asked, "Is this the law of death?" ”
Lu Hua said hesitantly: "I'm not sure...... Maybe it's not that simple. ”
Hang Yi didn't want to see anyone die again, he said, "I have to try, if it's really this law, we'll win, and no one will die on the train." ”
As he spoke, he walked towards Dong Manni, who was a few rows away from the seats. But Xinna grabbed Hang Yi and said, "I'm in favor of trying, but it's not up to you to try." ”
Hang Yi stared into Xinna's eyes and understood what she meant, he shook his head and said, "No, I can't let you go on an adventure." ”
Xin Na said with a firm expression: "Listen to Hang Yi, this is not a fight to pay after a dinner. We must act strategically. Save the superpowered, or strong, to the end. Your important 'sex' in the team clearly trumps me. So, don't argue with me. ”
Hang Yi understood that what Xinna said made sense, but he was always unwilling to lose Xinna, even if it was temporary. It's hard to get to the extreme.
Xina smiled and said, "It's okay, even if it's wrong anyway, it won't be fatal, it's just a temporary withdrawal." And I'm sure you'll get us back to it. ”
With that, Xin Na walked in front of Dong Manni, followed by Hang Yi and Lu Hua. Xiao Yuan, mother and son, who were sitting diagonally opposite, looked at these young people. In a few days, although the mother and son did not see Hang Yi and them use their superpowers with their own eyes, through various signs, they also knew that they were by no means ordinary people.
Dong Manni put down the book in her hand and looked at Xinna, probably guessing her intention. She said to the boy, "Xiao Yuan, big sister wants to talk to a few friends, can you go to another carriage with your mother to play for a while?" ”
The little boy didn't know why, but his mother immediately guessed that Dong Manni had taken them away probably because she didn't want Xiao Yuan to see or hear something terrible. He took the child and hurried away.
Xinna glanced at the mother's back, and said to Dong Manni: "You are quite considerate of this child, why?" ”
Dong Manni said: "I believe it's not just me, you don't want this innocent and lovely child to be scared by our superpowers or conversations." After all, in his mind, we are all amiable big brothers and sisters. ”
"Count you still a little bit 'sex'." "But I won't forgive you for letting five innocent people die." I've discovered the pattern you've made. ”
"Oh? Let's hear it. ”
Xina said clearly: "According to the 24-hour system, the time of each person's death, the single digit of the hour corresponds to the number of the carriage he is in, right?" ”
Dong Manni showed a slightly surprised expression, and then shook her head and said, "That's not right." ”
As soon as she finished speaking, Sina lost consciousness and fell to the side. Hang Yi hurriedly supported her, and his heart sank. Lu Hua shook his head and said, "Impossible, I don't believe that the first five times were all coincidences!" ”
Dong Manni said: "Actually, what Miss Xinna just said is right. But sadly, not completely. At '11' o'clock, the first deceased appeared in the No. 1 car, but there were so many people in this car, why did he die? And one of the most important questions: why did this person die at this moment? Only by solving these two mysteries can we truly find the 'law of death'. ”
Suddenly, an old Chinese gentleman sitting in a row behind Dong Manni stood up indignantly and said, "Who are you?" The train can't stop, people keep dying, it's all your fault, right?! ”
Hang Yi didn't know what to say, but Dong Manni replied coldly: "Shut up, old man, if you don't want to die." ”
The old gentleman did not flinch, he glared at Dong Manni and said, "I have lived to this age, what is there to be afraid of death?" If someone has to die, you're going to come at me! ”
The old gentleman's wife tugged at her husband's sleeve and said anxiously, "What are you talking about, don't talk nonsense!" Then Xiang Hang Yi and they accompanies him, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Please don't hurt my wife! ”
Han Feng stood up rubbly, pointed at Dong Manni and said, "It's this 'woman' who caused all this, and it has nothing to do with us!" Don't confuse us with her! ”
"Yes, yes...... I'm sorry! The old woman apologized again and again. When Hang saw it, they didn't believe it at all, and they couldn't listen to their arguments. In their eyes, anyone with weapons and superpowers is a demon.
At this time, Mi Xiaolu suddenly realized that something was wrong. He saw the boy's mother running back from car 10 in a panic with the child in her arms, and he asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Xiao Yuan's mother said: "The people in the back carriage are united...... I'm going to fight with you! ”
In fact, there is no need for her to say, Mi Xiaolu has already seen that dozens of tall and tall men rushed over from the No. 10 carriage, they are holding some things that can be used as weapons - dinner knives, canning knives, and even wrenches and pliers (presumably provided by the flight attendant), and they are aggressively planning to 'confront' the superpowers. One of the men, who did not know which country, shouted in English:
"Cannotletthemdohatevertheyant, desperatelyiththem!" )”
This formation made Dong Manni stunned, obviously she didn't expect this situation before. The other passengers in car 9 were even more panicked - if a fight broke out, it was almost certain that they would be injured by mistake. People began to hide or flee, and they became a mess.
Hang Yi didn't have time to hesitate, he quickly put Xinna on the 'bed' and shouted, "Lu Hua! ”
Lu Hua has already acted, his superpowers have reached level 3, and after training, he has been able to use them flexibly according to the actual situation. At this moment, he pushed his hands towards the crowd that was surging over, and a transparent defensive wall blocked them.
Dozens of strong men did not lower their attacks because of this*, they were surprisingly united, and in addition to the determination to fight to the death, the 'essence' and physical strength that had been on the train for several days and had nowhere to release also exploded at this moment. Perhaps, in their opinion, instead of continuing to passively wait for death, it is better to fight to the death - although superpowers are powerful, they are better than many people, and joining hands is not necessarily out of disadvantage.
The men roared loudly to increase their momentum as they slammed into the defensive wall as solid as bulletproof glass. Although Lu Hua was not unable to resist, he knew that there was a time limit for using superpowers, and if these people did not retreat, his physical strength would eventually run out. That's when it's bad.
When Lu Hua blocked the attackers in the back carriage, the people in the front carriage were also blindly encouraged and the same situation broke out. The Chinese doctor who worked at the 'Mongolian' ancient hospital hurriedly ran over to Hang Yi and told them: "The people in the front carriage are also going to fight with you!" ”
"Then why are you on our side?" Sun Yuchen asked.
"I'm a doctor, and I've never been responsible for saving people, and I can't kill people. They wanted me to join the fight, and I couldn't. The doctor said, "Besides, I'm sure you're not bad people. Because when you were investigating the deceased, I could see that it was not your work at all. ”
"That's right, our opponent did it." Hang Yi said, glancing at Dong Manni.
"She's also a superpower?" The doctor understood, "Maybe I can explain it to you......"
"It's too late." Ji Kairui looked at the group of men rushing from the No. 8 carriage and 'touched' the pistol pinned to his waist.
"Wait," Hang Yi pressed Ji Kairui's hand, "You don't really want to shoot these people, do you?" They just misunderstood and are not really enemies! ”
"But they want our lives, it's true." Ji Kairui raised his pistol, "I try not to 'shoot' their vital points. ”
"Don't shoot, let me do it." Sun Yuchen took a step forward, stretched out his hands, and launched a mental attack. The dozen or so men who rushed to the front were overturned by a powerful, invisible force, knocking a large number of people behind them into the air. But they were not harmed by the substance of 'sex' and soon got back on their feet and regrouped their offensive.
Sun Yuchen encountered the same predicament as Lu Hua. Although his superpowers are powerful, he does not flinch from one 'wave' after another. Even if he could push them back again and again, his stamina would always run out. He couldn't stop them forever.
Hang Yi's palms were already soaked with sweat, and he didn't know if he should make a move. With his ability, these ordinary people are naturally not opponents, but no matter what form he attacks, casualties are inevitable. Before he set out, he had envisioned various scenarios, assuming various attacks, but he had not expected such a situation to be intercepted by a group of misunderstood, and at the same time angry, ordinary people. It is an unprecedented dilemma to protect yourself and your companions without wanting to hurt them.
At this time, Hang Yi suddenly remembered Mi Xiaolu, he turned to Mi Xiaolu and said, "Xiaomi, I can only rely on you now." You can control their emotions and calm them down! ”
Mi Xiaolu frowned, as if he was thinking about it. "Yes, but there are two problems," he said. First, we were caught between two ends, and it is estimated that there were no less than a hundred of them. I can't control the emotions of so many people at the same time; Second, even if I try to calm some people down temporarily, it will only be a delaying measure. There's no way I'm going to use superpowers all the time. ”
Hang Yi was stunned. In this way, isn't it inevitable to fight to the death with these people?
