Section 91 Encounters
Chen Du sat on the long shuttle train and pondered. This journey is undoubtedly the last danger, especially when getting off the bus. If you can get through this hurdle, then you are not far from real safety.
From the Eastern Business Acropolis to Aramco City, it takes six hours to take a long shuttle train, and the entire journey is underground, with no stops along the way.
Sitting in his seat, Chen Du carefully looked around. He has been on this long shuttle train many times, and he is no stranger to it.
Beside him sat a lady of about thirty, dressed plainly and without much ornamentation, and looked like a kind-hearted lady.
"The Legend of the Master" was still played in the carriage, and after the staff of this long shuttle train found it to be widely acclaimed, it has basically become a reserved program, and it must be broadcast every time.
The lady next to her looked at the card shadow of "The Legend of the Master" with relish, she was obviously watching it for the first time, so she was extremely involved in watching it. I saw that she sometimes covered her mouth and exclaimed, and sometimes frowned and worried about the fate of the protagonist.
Stealthily glanced around, but found no suspicious figures. Fortunately, everything was normal, which made Chen Du feel a little more relieved.
He closed his eyes, and today's series of unexpected situations gave him a strong sense of urgency, which also made him feel a little tired. He needs to rest, and it is unknown what will happen to him, and tiredness will make him unresponsive.
Suddenly, without warning, something seemed to be wriggling under the skin! A creepy sensation spread all over Chen's body, and he opened his eyes all at once.
Holding back the accelerated heartbeat, Chen Du glanced at the lady beside her, she was very engaged, and did not look at him.
Carefully rolling up his sleeves, Chen Du's face immediately changed!
A thin pale cyan thread loomed beneath his skin, and it slowly squirmed. The strange sensation that Chen Du felt just now was caused by the wriggling of it. This thin pale cyan thread is so thin that it looks like a hair, and it is difficult to detect if you don't look closely.
It's the green line! Chen Dui was like being struck by lightning, and his heart was surrounded by great fear, and he could never forget the scene of the devil girl in the forest pulling this green thread from the corpse for the rest of his life.
Chen Dui's eyes were a little distracted, and he didn't know if it was because of fear, but the feeling of the green thread squirming became clearer, which made his back all drenched in sweat.
Although Chen Du guessed that the devil girl would definitely do some tricks in her body, she never thought that it would be this murderous thing! Compared to it, the slow poison and the like that I had guessed before were like harmless snacks. What exactly this green line was, he didn't understand. But the terrifying power of its song, Chen Dui had witnessed it with his own eyes.
It's wriggling! What's next for it? Into your own veins? Or pierce your own heart?
Although his mental capacity was much greater than before, this time he still felt deep fear and despair.
Chen Du had the urge to cut open his own skin and pull the green thread out. However, he quickly dispelled this idea, and he had to wait until he was safe and then study it carefully.
The slowly wriggling thin threads seemed to accidentally touch Chen Dui's pain nerves, and he felt a pain that penetrated deep into his bone marrow coming from under his skin, and he couldn't help but snort.
This muffled snort also woke up the lady who was watching the card shadow on the side, and she hurriedly came over and asked with concern, "This classmate, are you uncomfortable?" "Chen's age makes it easy to think that he is a student.
Pain! Chen Dui's mind was buzzing, and everything in the outside world seemed to be far away from him. He didn't hear the words of the lady beside him, and the sharp pain in his whole body made him completely lose his ability to react at this moment.
It's a sharp pain all over the body! Not just his arm, this pale green thread as thin as a hair was dozens of meters long, enough to cover his entire body.
The sharp pain caused Chen's body to curl up involuntarily.
"Classmate, what's wrong with you?" The lady beside Chen Du was obviously frightened by his painful appearance.
The boy next to him didn't make any sound, but his curled up body trembled violently. She knew that this would only happen if it was very painful.
She suddenly became anxious. There are no doctors on the train, and there will be doctors only when they arrive in Ami City. But there are still two hours before arriving in Aramco City. Looking at the appearance of this young man, there is a possibility of danger at any time.
The kind lady leaned down and gently patted Chendui's back, which was already hunched, hoping that it would make him feel better.
Soon, she realized that her method seemed to be working, and the boy's trembling lessened little by little. This made her happy, and she kept patting Chen Dui's back with her left hand.
Finally, half a minute later, the boy gradually calmed down.
Chen Duan's scattered gaze began to focus little by little, and the sensations of his body, the sound of the shuttle driving, and the sound of the people around him talking became clear little by little. The sweat-soaked clothes clinged to the body and were uncomfortable.
If it hadn't been for so much sweat to remind him, Chen Duan would have wondered if it was a dream he had just fallen asleep. For the pain came as violently as the tide, and went away like the wind, and immediately disappeared without a trace.
The kindness and concern conveyed by the hand patted on his back made Chen Du feel very warm. He slowly straightened up and sincerely thanked the lady beside him: "Thank you! ”
"Are you feeling better? What happened just now? Scared the hell out of me. Madame asked with concern, she was indeed frightened by Chen Dui's painful appearance just now.
Chen Du only said vaguely: "It's nothing, it's just some old problems." "He hadn't figured it out yet, and he couldn't say anything like that.
"Ahh Madame was taken aback, and then looked at Chen Du sympathetically: "Is it a frequent offense?" How painful it must be! She paused for a moment, then said, "I know a few of the more famous doctors......
Chen Du glanced at his wife gratefully, but still interrupted her: "It's okay, it's really just a little problem." "He's in a special situation, and if you go to the doctor like this, you don't know what kind of mess you're going to make. The eerie green line would have made those doctors curious, and for him right now, too much attention was deadly.
Moreover, Chen Du also believes that with the means of the devil girl, it is difficult for ordinary doctors to succeed in healing.
Seeing that Chen Duan insisted, the lady changed the subject.
Chen Du was full of gratitude to this kind lady, and he could feel that she cared for him, a feeling he hadn't experienced in a long time.
Since the Zuo family's pursuit began, Chen Du has become increasingly gloomy, and this is even more obvious after encountering the devil girl. In addition, he is always in danger, his nerves are always tense, and he carefully keeps his distance from the people around him, which also makes his surname much colder than before.
If life some time ago was like being in the dark abyss, then this lady's concern was like a ray of sunshine shining into the abyss, which made Chen Du feel very warm. And Mrs. is undoubtedly the most beautiful woman in the world in the eyes of Chen Du.
Chen Du suddenly saw that something hanging from his wife's neck was a little familiar, and he couldn't help asking, "Madam, can you show me what you're wearing?" ”
"Is that what you're talking about?" Madame's fingers held a card hanging on her chest, and when she saw Chen Du nodding, she took it down, handed it to Chen Dui, and said with a smile: "This is a relic left to me by my father, and it was just repaired some time ago, so I took it with me." ”
Chen Du took it and suddenly realized, no wonder he was familiar, it turned out that this was the three-star energy shield phantom card that he had repaired, and the structure contained in it benefited Chen Duan a lot.
Remembering that the owner of the card that the shopkeeper once said was called Mrs. Ning, could it be that this is Mrs. Ning in front of him?
Chen Du asked cautiously, "Are you Mrs. Ning?" ”
The lady was stunned for a moment, and looked at Chen Du very strangely: "Do you know me?" ”
Chen Du smiled slightly, but the muscles on his face were a little stiff, and his smile was even more ugly than crying: "I repaired this card, and the shopkeeper once conveyed your invitation to me." I didn't expect you to be Mrs. Ning, it's really rude. ”
Mrs. Ning covered her red lips in surprise: "Ah! Are you the intermediate card maker? Oh my God, you're already an intermediate card maker at such a young age! It's amazing! ”
For some reason, Chen Dui felt very relaxed when talking to this Mrs. Ning, and she didn't have the same kind of trepidation and caution as when she was at school. He shook his head: "I'm not an intermediate card maker, just a student at Dongwei Academy. ”
"But, isn't it an intermediate card maker who can repair a Samsung magic card?" Mrs. Ning's expression was a little puzzled, but she quickly smiled: "But no matter what, thank you for repairing my father's relics, I really appreciate it." ”
"You're so polite, that's what I'm supposed to do." Chen Du hurriedly responded. I don't know if it's because it's because of the distance from the Dongshang Acropolis, Chen Du felt very relaxed, and even these kind words were much more fluent than before.
After learning that Chen Du was the one who had repaired her father's card, Mrs. Ning was very happy. She said enthusiastically: "I've always wanted to thank you for a light meal, but the shopkeeper said that you have been busy." Since I met it today, I must go to the humble house to sit. You can't say no today. ”
After speaking, she looked at Chen Du with expectant eyes.
Chen Du secretly thought that he was in trouble, but he should not involve this rare kind lady. Only smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid it's not convenient today, I still have some important things to do." If you have time next time, be sure to visit. ”
Chen Du knew that his next visit was nothing more than a lie, and after getting through this last hurdle, he would leave Ami City as fast as he could. It's too close to the Eastern Acropolis, and it's not safe here.
Mrs. Ning also heard the shirking in Chen Du's words, and she was even more keenly aware of the trace of worry in his eyes, knowing that he was indeed in trouble, so she could only say disappointedly: "That's really a pity." But you must come next time. ”
The two chatted for a while, and before they knew it, the long shuttle had already driven into the underground platform of Ami City.
