"Tell me about the car, talk about yourself." Zhang Peng blew another puff of cigarette.

"I, Anya, was born in Victoria's dreams, a lifeless puppet. In the darkness of the boundless void, eternally adrift. ”

"Until one day, on a long journey, Richard Linklater met me."

"He invited me on a trip, and I didn't have much to do, so I agreed."

"He transformed my body into a steam train. Since then, I have had the ability to move freely. ”

"I, Anya, am the eternal train, walking between the illusory dream and the real."

The girl's voice was ethereal, as if it came from the depths of the void.

"What should I do to get out of the car?"

Zhang Peng blew out a puff of cigarette, Anya inhaled into her body, and a calm, wind-like voice sounded again.

"When the owner wants to get out of the car, Anya will stop whenever he wants." After saying that, she added, "The premise is that there is a station." ”

"Who is your master and where is he?" Zhang Peng puffed on his cigarette with doubts. He seemed to hear Anya call him master.

"The owner of the clockwork key is Anya's master." Anya replied.

"You mean that?" Zhang Peng couldn't help but look at the copper spoon under the dashboard, which was indeed somewhat similar to the key of an antique table clock. It wasn't until I saw the girl's stunned appearance that I remembered that she couldn't hear the sound, so I took a puff of cigarette.

"Yes, master." Anya nodded.

"Hahaha!" Zhang Peng couldn't help laughing, and became the conductor in a blink of an eye, which was too exciting, and then blew a cigarette again, "Tell me about your situation, Anya." ”

"Anya has been waiting for a summons since the last master left." Anya replied.

"What's in the cargo compartment? And what are those mummies? Zhang Peng continued to blow a cigarette and asked.

"Anya has thirty-nine carriages, from the twelfth to the twenty-eighth carriages, all of which are cargo compartments, which are sealed with the evil spirits captured by the masters of the past when they traveled around the world, and by absorbing their energy, they provide power for Anya." Anya replied with a serious expression, like a female conductor waiting to be dispatched.

"What about the gargoyles, the faces on the wagons, and these living corpses?" Zhang Peng looked around at the living corpses of the workers around him and asked.

"They're all Anya's guards." "What about the passengers on the bus?" "They are Anya's medium of communication with reality, and at the same time a source of supplementary guards."

Then, Zhang Peng asked a series of questions, such as, "If I get out of the car, will I die?" "What happens to the train if I don't come when I get off the train?"

The answer is that where the holder of the copper key gets off, Anya will wait at the station where the holder gets off the train, and it will not be activated until the holder gets on the train. At this time, passengers can also get off the bus and do not need to return to the bus until the holder gets on the bus.

Zhang Peng thought for a moment and blew out a puff of cigarette, "Anya, I need to return to Nanzhou City." ”

"Yes, my master." Anya put her hands on her lower abdomen, saluted Zhang Peng's chin, and then dispersed a puff of steam and burrowed into the pipe.

"Woo......"

"Boom, boom, boom......"

About ten seconds later, the train whistled and began to turn. A huge centrifugal force struck, and the living corpse holding the coal immediately staggered, and the one closest to the furnace directly plunged into it, letting out a painful wail.

Zhang Peng grabbed the handrail next to him as early as the first time to avoid being thrown on the wagon.

After the train turned around and stabilized, Zhang Peng excitedly returned to the conductor's room and strung the copper spoon and the petal pendant of the eight-petal flower together. With this copper spoon, you can take Anya wherever you go in the future.

The only trouble now is that the seal in the cargo compartment is loose. But this is not a problem, just wait for him to return to Nanzhou City and bring the two sisters to suppress it. Also, there are gargoyles and wagon faces, and the evil spirits in the cargo compartment can't get by. The fact that the original owners have been dead for several years, and they have not been seen rushing out, is enough to prove that it is not so easy to go wrong.

If you come down again, it will be the letter of the old man of Heavenly Dao. The other party said that he would hand it over to the conductor, but the original conductor was dead, and he held the copper key, which was the current conductor.

Thinking of this, he first opened the train diary, sucked the blue and black ink with an old fountain pen, turned a new page, and wrote: On August 23, 2017, Brother Peng came, the next stop, traveling around the world.

It's a pity that Anya has a very big flaw, that is, she can only park at the existing train station, and cannot get on and off at any time like a taxi.

Then, he took out the letter from the old man of Tiandao, hesitating to open it. Now, he's the train conductor, is the letter delivered?

And he remembered that the old man of Tiandao didn't say the name of the train conductor, but only said the three words "train captain", does it mean that he can take it apart?

After several hesitations, he finally "tore" and tore open the envelope.

When I opened the letter, there was only one sentence on it: Old friend, Changxiao misses your Kraken very much.

The inscription is "Jiang Yuezhong".

Kraken?

Zhang Peng couldn't help but wonder a little, could it be a mermaid or something, he couldn't imagine that this old man of Heavenly Dao was still an old pervert.

So he returned to the instrument panel of the steam boiler and summoned Anya again to ask about the Kraken.

"The sixteenth and seventeenth carriages are wine cellars, and the owner can go and get them." Anya replied.

I didn't expect "Kraken" to refer to some kind of red wine. Now there was a mummy in the twelfth compartment, and there might be other dangers behind it, and he didn't dare to go again.

After making it clear, Zhang Peng put the letter away and put it in his pocket. When I go back, I will ask the old man of Tiandao for something with this.

Then, Zhang Peng asked how to approve the passengers to leave as the conductor. Anya said that as long as she wrote the other person's name in the diary, she could get off the bus.

A moment later, Zhang Peng took the conductor's diary and returned to the passenger car. It's afternoon, and the fierce sun is shining into the carriage, which is very hot, and many passengers open their windows, and the wind pours in.

Holding a diary in one hand and a pen in the other, Zhang Peng walked through the driveway, asked the name of the old man who was deceived into getting into the car in Huangsha Town, and then wrote it.

Li Yong, Huang Chun, Er Mazi......

When the old bone saw the dark blue covered diary in Zhang Peng's hand, he was stunned on the spot. Others don't know, but he knows best, it's a book that represents the identity of the conductor, and he has seen it more than once in the past years.

Usually the conductor will only take out this notebook when someone has completed the task and gets off the train.

Peng...... Brother Peng, you are ......" The old bone didn't dare to finish the second half of the sentence.

"Don't talk nonsense." Zhang Peng said expressionlessly, his tone full of warning.

"No, no, no, no, no......" Old Bone hurriedly waved his hand and said.

Zhang Peng turned around, registered all the old people who got on the bus in Huangsha Town, and then returned to the fifth carriage, took Lao Wan and Xiao Yun to the fourth carriage, and told them all the causes and consequences of the incident.

"So, we can all get out of the car?" Lao Wan was stunned, looking a little disbelieving.

"Ahh Xiao Yun was stunned for a moment, then grabbed Zhang Peng's arm and asked a little nervously, "You...... Is everything you say true? ”

"Follow me......" Zhang Peng didn't explain too much, and led the two of them through the third and second carriages to the boiler room. Looking at the busy workers' living corpses, Xiao Yun was a little scared, and wrapped her hands around Zhang Peng's arm, squeezing and pressing, causing the former to almost lose control.

If Lao Wan hadn't been here, he would probably have been pulled directly into the conductor's room and would have been corrected on the spot.

Zhang Peng asked the two of them to wait in place, and only after summoning Anya did he let them come over. After all, the key to the train is a big secret, and he doesn't want too many people to know about it, so as not to cause more trouble.

Seeing Anya, Lao Wan and Xiao Yun's eyes widened, and it took a long time for them to recover from the shock.

After they got used to it, Zhang Peng lit his pipe and swallowed the clouds, "These two are my friends, can I appoint them as assistants?" ”

Anya absorbed the smoke ball and spoke, "The master can appoint a deputy conductor, as well as multiple conductors. ”

"Do you want to stay on the bus, or do you want to get off at the station?" Zhang Peng turned around and asked the two.

Being asked by Zhang Peng, Xiao Yun suddenly looked nervous, and said with some worry, "I...... I'm going home......" The other party became the conductor, maybe he would keep her.

Seeing this, Zhang Peng grinned and didn't answer, just looked at Lao Wan.

"Anyway, I'm single, if I need to, I can stay for a while." Lao Wan said.

"Okay, then I'll appoint you as the deputy conductor." After speaking, Zhang Peng took a puff of cigarette and blew it towards Anya.

"The vice-conductor has the privilege of using the train diary and directing the conductor of the second car." After speaking, Anya waved her hand, and a faint white light appeared on Lao Wan's body, and then gradually faded away.

Zhang Peng handed the diary and pen to Lao Wan, explained how to use them, and then asked him to go to the No. 4 carriage to look through the previous information.

After Lao Wan left, Zhang Peng turned his back to Xiao Yun and pulled out the copper spoon. Anya then bowed, turned into steam, and flew back to the pipe.

"Brother Xiaopeng, I'm ...... I want to go home. Xiao Yun said timidly.

"Don't worry." Zhang Peng said as he walked towards the conductor's room.

"My mom must be in a hurry." Xiao Yun chased after her, followed behind, and said pitifully.

"Hmm." Zhang Peng answered, pushed the door in, then put down his backpack and boiled water to make tea on a small kerosene stove.

After fiddling with it for a while, I finally took a sip of hot tea. Just turned his head, but saw Xiao Yun take off her shirt, wrap her hands around her chest, turn her face sideways, and look at the ground.

"What are you?" Zhang Peng asked a little stunned.

"Don't pretend." Xiao Yun glanced at him, gritted her teeth and said, "Hurry up, let me get out of the car when I'm done." ”

"What?" Zhang Peng asked with a blank face, "You want to get off the bus in Huangsha Town?" ”

"No...... No......" Xiao Yun quickly realized that she had misunderstood what Zhang Peng meant. All of a sudden, his face was as red as a ripe apple.

"Then why are you undressing?" Zhang Peng asked while drinking tea.

"I'm ......" Xiao Yun blushed and looked at the floor, just looking for a crack to get into.
