Section 126 Passengers

After returning from the company, Zhang Peng lived a few days of peace. The summer vacation passed day by day, and in the blink of an eye, it was the middle of August, and the day of leaving school was getting closer and closer. In other words, the two sisters will be back in two and a half weeks. Without Xiao Zhang Fei and Xiao Zhao Yun by his side to protect the Fa, he is really a little unaccustomed to it, and he is afraid to do anything.

The weather is still so hot, and there are a few cicadas chirping outside the window from time to time, lazy and sleepy. Zhang Peng slumped on the couch in his office, yawning.

"Crackling...... Cracking sound...... Crackling......"

The sound of a brisk keyboard emanates from the office booth and reverberates through the office. It was the sound of Xiao Zhang typing.

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

Suddenly, the sound of the keyboard stopped, and Xiao Zhang poked his head out of the booth and shouted at Zhang Peng, "Boss, someone said he was in trouble." ”

"Hmm......" Zhang Peng, who was half asleep, answered, and then stopped talking.

Xiao Zhang waited for a while, and then said, "The other party seems to be in a hurry. ”

"He's in a hurry, what does it have to do with us?" Zhang Peng didn't raise his eyelids and said.

"Ah, didn't you tell me to find it?" Xiao Zhang said strangely. Since the day before yesterday, Zhang Peng has asked her to pay attention to major forums to see if anyone has encountered supernatural events and needs help. As long as the other party can afford the price, they can solve each other's problems.

For this reason, Zhang Peng also gave his small team a resounding name - Jinpeng Spiritual Office. Originally, he wanted to set up the "Peng Ge Spiritual Office", but he was unanimously opposed by Li Chunsheng, Lao Huangpi, and even Xiao Zhang. I had to settle for the next best thing and took the current name.

"Oh, then you ask him what trouble he has." Zhang Peng said.

"Okay." Xiao Zhang answered obediently. Soon there was the sound of chatbots.

About twenty minutes later, Xiao Zhang sent the chat history of the two to Zhang Peng's mobile phone.

Octopus Maruko: Hello sir, I'm Xiao Zhang of Jinpeng Paranormal Office.

Stranger: Hello, I'm the one who posted on the Nancheng forum.

Octopus Maruko: Hmm.

Outlander: Gee, it's great to find you. I've been asking all morning, and I haven't even had a meaningful reply except for some messy watering.

Seeing this, Zhang Peng couldn't help frowning. He didn't know it before, but after so many things recently, he also understood. In this world, there are many capable people and strange people, and there are also many evil spirits and ghosts, but they have not encountered them in the past. After all, he had two patronus spirits by his side, and if he hadn't died by himself, nothing dirty would have dared to come close.

The man, who goes by the name "Stranger Traveler", said that his questions were not answered. Well, there are usually only two cases: first, he has no money; Second, the trouble he encountered was so great that the cultivators who were lurking in the crowd did not dare to take orders.

With such doubts, Zhang Peng continued to look down......

Tako: Sir, if it's convenient, please tell us about your situation.

Foreigner: I'm from the north, from Ganzhou, 46 this year, working in an oil company, which is the kind of edible oil.

Octopus Maruko: Uh-huh.

Foreigner: It all started two months ago. At that time, I was going on a business trip to the south to negotiate a business. Due to the rush of time, I had to depart on the same day, and I couldn't book a ticket at all. You also know that if we do business, if we run slowly, the business may be robbed by the opponent. So I rushed to the train station and looked for scalpers to buy it.

I walked around the station and didn't find a scalper. It is said that this line of work is getting harder and harder, and people are being arrested everywhere. Just when I was a little disappointed, a thin man suddenly leaned over and whispered to me if I wanted to buy a ticket.

He looked to be in his thirties, very thin, skinny, with yellow fingers, and protruding eyes, as if he was malnourished, or suffering from some kind of disease, or maybe an addict.

But I was a little anxious, as long as I could buy a ticket, I didn't care who he was. When he saw me nodding, he pulled me aside, and it was so sneaky that it made me very uncomfortable. He held out four fingers and said four hundred. This price is 50 percent higher than the usual ticket price.

Of course I didn't want to, so I talked to him about the price. Later, he said that he would pay 350 yuan, but he wanted to follow me to the ticket gate and give me the money after I had checked the ticket. He said yes very happily, as if he couldn't wait. At the time, I thought I had met an honest scalper.

He told me that he was not a scalper, but just bought an extra ticket for a colleague. The colleague released his pigeons temporarily, and he sold the tickets. He also said that the price he sold was actually very low, and the special train, which did not stop in the middle, was bought only by acquaintances.

Then he took me around the station. I didn't think much of it at the time, so I just followed him. Anyway, in the train station, there are railway police everywhere, and he can still trap me. After walking for a while, he led me to the ticket gate, where there were few people.

The ticket checker was not wearing the usual railway uniform at the station, but an old-fashioned tunic with a gray military cap, which could not be seen clearly. When checking in the tickets, he just glanced at the tickets and let us go. There were no metal detectors, no see-through devices, and it just passed.

I really thought I was lucky and ran into the legendary VIP train, the privilege of the big guys.

There were very few people in the waiting hall, only seven or eight people, with a large number of salutes around them, who were dozing off on the benches. The thin man took me to the corner and sat down, and his salute was also placed here, and it was piled up on the ground, big and small bags, five or six. I took a look, and the bags were full, revealing bottles of water and bread, as well as biscuits.

I wondered in my heart at the time, isn't it a VIP special train, why do you have to bring your own dry food, and you still have to bring so much.

Later I found out that I was pitted by this bitch!

Octopus Maruko: What's wrong?

Foreigner: There is a problem with the car, not the person who sits, but the ......

2017/08/12,13:46

Octopus Maruko: Huh? Are you still there sir?

Stranger: Yes, yes. We waited for almost two hours before a conductor came to inform us that the train had arrived. The conductor was also dressed in an old-fashioned tunic and wore a military cap. I don't know why, it's not too dark, but I can't see him clearly.

When I got up to the platform and saw the train, I was even more surprised. What I saw in front of me was not a modern train at all, but the kind in a black-and-white documentary, a steam train.

But I was in a hurry, so I got into the car in a daze. But when I turned my head and thought, no, I've been to this station many times, and I've never seen a waiting room like this, and I've never seen a platform like this. The benches that retreat are not stainless steel, but wooden, like waiting rooms in the seventies and eighties. The same is true for the platform, where there is an old-fashioned wall clock. Even when I look back, I have no memory of the place I just walked through.

It's like all of a sudden, entering a time tunnel and coming to a strange place.

Maruko Octopus: Is there anyone else in the car?

Foreigners: Yes, they are all people who get on the bus and never get off.

Octopus Maruko: What, I don't see what you mean.

Foreigner: Even if you get on this train, you can't go down.

Maruko Octopus: So, are you in the car now?

Outlander: No, I'm at an internet café near Nancheng train station. The environment here is very good, there is hot water and air conditioning, and I can finally sleep comfortably.

Octopus Maruko: Haven't you already gotten out of the car?

Foreigners: Three days, only three days, the car will open again.

Octopus Maruko: Why don't you just go?

Stranger: Well, if you can't go, then what else will I do with you?

Octopus Maruko: Sir, please be clear.

Strangers: When the time comes, people who haven't gotten on the bus will die suddenly. I've seen people like this, when they stopped in the middle capital, there was a person who was late and the car had already left. I just watched him explode on the platform.

You know, it's literally, exploding, it's like having a bomb in your body. Red, red, black and black pieces of meat, offal, and white intestines were fried everywhere.

Octopus Maruko: Didn't you call the police?

Stranger: I went to the police station, they only thought I was a madman, and they almost detained me.

Maruko Octopus: Have you ever asked for help from another organization or anyone else?

Foreigner: I only stopped once in Zhongdu City, and I only had three days before and after, so it was too late. I've heard that there's a place called Heavenly Palace that can handle this. But I didn't know where or how to contact them, so I had to ask online.

Octopus Maruko: In the car, have you ever encountered danger?

Foreigner: That pit is that thin man. He told me that it was safe to stay in the car and not run around.

Octopus Maruko: Okay, I'll tell my boss about the situation and I'll get back to you later.

Foreigner: Don't help me, tell your boss that I have money, and I still have 100,000 yuan in my card. If you can get me out, it's all for you.

Maruko Tako: Well, I'll leave first.

"Hmm......" Zhang Peng read the information, pondered for a long time, and finally decided not to take the order.

The reason is very simple, the police don't care, but can't control it. From the accounts of the parties, it is not difficult to see that this matter lasted for a long time, and there were quite a few people involved.

However, for such an obvious matter, the Heavenly Palace did not send someone to deal with it. The reason is very simple, or the cost is too great to deal with; Or maybe it's a balance and one eye is closed.

Taking a step back, even if the two sisters were around, he would not risk his life for 100,000 yuan. What's more, he is now alone, and if he goes, he has no return.

Although this "foreigner" seems to be quite reliable, he is honest between the lines, and he is not hidden, which is a good partner to work with. But then again, no matter how you put it, it's one side of the story. People are separated from each other, who knows if the truth is like this......

Anyway, as long as he is not greedy for money, this matter has nothing to do with him. He is not a savior, he can cultivate his own one-third of an acre.
