8. The Train to Another World (Part II)
For a long time in the future, Bai Yiquan kept asking He Xinxin questions about the academy and the world where the academy was located, he didn't remember how many he asked, some questions just flashed through his head, and the next second he asked them, and after getting the answer, he forgot all about it. At first, He Xinxin was willing to answer, after all, this belonged to the content of freshman training, but then Bai Yiquan's question gradually became "Are the people in the academy also divided into types, will there be people like the primitive people on the earth who don't wear clothes", she refused to answer.
As for Mentor Herme, he had already yawned and squinted and snoozed.
"Stop me. He Xinxin slapped Bai Yiquan in the face, "It will take a while to get to the academy, do you plan to stay so excited?" Forget it, I'll get you some soothing drinks." β
Bai Yiquan was about to say no, He Xinxin had already opened the door of the private room and walked out.
The cramped private room suddenly fell silent.
"Are you still a little scared about the future?"
Bai Yiquan turned his head and saw Ye Zhifan looking at him with his head propped up. He had been talking to He Xinxin for so long before, and Ye Zhifan only occasionally added a sentence or two, and was silent most of the time, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking. To be honest, Bai Yiquan felt that Ye Zhifan was like the kind of male protagonist in a Mary Sue novel, so handsome that Bai Yiquan didn't dare to look at him a few more times, for fear that he would bend it.
Ye Zhifan's most outstanding thing is his inky eyes, which are reminiscent of the endless sea.
"Did you see it?" Bai Yiquan scratched his head, "I thought I was hiding it well." β
"Hide your nervousness with constant questions, which is the case with many freshmen, and your receptivity is quite good. Ye Zhifan said, "In some civilized and backward worlds, it will be more difficult to recruit students. Also, you'd better not shake your legs, lest you wake up Mentor Herme. β
Bai Yiquan immediately didn't dare to move.
"I noticed that your eyes kept glancing into the car window, did you want to see the world outside the car window?"
Everything has been seen through, Bai Yiquan thought to himself.
"Well, sort of. Sister He said that we are now in the mezzanine of space and space, and I don't quite understand what it means. β
"Well, there are some things that should also be witnessed to be convincing. β
As Ye Zhifan spoke, he opened the blackout curtain on the car window, and suddenly, the pale yellow soft light shone into the private room. This reminded Bai Yiquan of the mountain tunnel on the highway, and the tunnel was also such a pale yellow light, and entering the tunnel was like entering another world, a quiet and peaceful world without distraction.
"It's a space-time tunnel. Ye Zhifan said, "If you take a closer look, it is not the same as the train tunnel in our world. β
Even if Ye Zhifan didn't say it, Bai Yiquan noticed it. There is no light in the train tunnel, but there is no light in this tunnel, and the pale yellow light does not come from the tunnel itself but from the lights on the roof. Pillars of light from the headlights cast in all directions, barely illuminating the tunnel. Bai Yiquan was surprised to find that the tunnel was not closed, but had countless small holes, and the tunnel itself was like an iron cage. The train travels in an iron cage, and the world outside the cage is pitch black.
Bai Yiquan's face was almost pressed against the glass, and he tried hard to see everything outside, but the blurred light obviously couldn't help him.
"What the hell is out thereβ"
Just as Bai Yiquan was about to turn around and ask Ye Zhifan, a white shadow suddenly floated outside the car window and stuck to the car window. Bai Yiquan took a closer look, his face turned pale, and he stepped back with a thud, accidentally kicked the table leg during the process, and then fell to the ground hard.
What did he see?
A pale human face with scarlet blood spots. It was just attached to the car window, and there seemed to be a pair of eyes staring at Bai Yiquan in its hollow eye sockets.
Bai Yiquan was just about to scream, but he was slapped in the head.
"you. He Xinxin, who returned to the carriage, rolled her eyes at Bai Yiquan, "A big man is so timid, the first time I saw [Wandering Spirit], I was not scared like you." β
"What do you swim to?"
"The soul that travels back and forth between space and space. Ye Zhifan pulled Bai Yiquan, who was sitting on the ground, up, "Generally, only people who were strong in life can do this after death, but they are not strong enough, so they will be trapped here and become monsters who cannot be freed forever." β
Bai Yiquan returned to his seat, but his body couldn't stop shaking, even if Ye Zhifan closed the blackout curtain again, his pale face still lingered. Fortunately, He Xinxin handed him a steaming green drink, he held the cup in both hands, and the warmth from the palm of his hand slightly dispelled the chill in his heart.
"Drink some, elven secret drink. He Xinxin also sat down, "I asked for it from the conductor, fortunately, this train passed by the station of the elf world, otherwise how could you drink such a precious thing." β
Bai Yiquan took a sip slightly, the taste was a little strange, but overall it was not bad, which made his restless heart settle down a little. He didn't want to know where the [Elven World] was anymore, and now he just wanted to get a good night's sleep. But his unquenchable curiosity made him can't help but ask, "That's, what's that?"
"You can understand the soul of a person after death. He Xinxin pursed her lips, "I want to be reincarnated in another world, but how can a powerless soul pass through the spatial crack? They look hateful, but in fact they are not very aggressive, unless thousands of [Spirits] gather at the same time, but that possibility is too small, even less than the probability of a plane crash in our world, after all, [Spirits] are not conscious. β
Bai Yiquan breathed a sigh of relief, at this moment he felt a little ashamed, he was scared to the ground just now.
At this moment, the door of the private room was opened again, and the conductor, Sora of the Royal Cat Clan, jumped directly from the hallway to the table.
"I'm sorry, but I have to tell you the bad news. Sora raised his paws, "This train is not going to go to your academy station again, we have to rush back to our academy as soon as possible." That's why we'll drop you off at the branch, and we've informed the academy about this, and someone will come to pick up your meow. β
Ye Zhifan and He Xinxin glanced at each other, and then Ye Zhifan nodded: "I know, I'll tell the tutor when he wakes up." β
"That's fine, meow. The empty tail twisted and planned to leave, but before leaving, it suddenly thought of something, turned its head and stared directly at Bai Yiquan with those round eyes, "The drink just now was not bad, meow?"
"Uh, it's fine. β
"Well, I spent a lot of effort to get that. Sora licked his paws, "Shouldn't you give me something back?" β
"Huh?" Bai Yiquan was dumbfounded, "Do you still have to pay for this?"
"Coins aren't common in the academy. Sora said, "I smell that you have a treasure in your backpack, just let me choose one Meow, that's the backpack." β
Is there a treasure in the backpack? The backpack that Bai Yiquan was referring to seemed to have been stuffed to him by his mother before leaving, and he had forgotten what was inside, but it was certainly not a valuable thing. He took the backpack suspiciously, and as soon as he opened the backpack, he rushed up with a swipe and half of his body got in.
"Hey, hey, what are you doing. β
"Wow, that's a lot of baby. β
Bai Yiquan looked at Sora and quickly twisted his buttocks, and the fluffy tail kept slapping his face, making him feel speechless. What about the royal cats? What about the good ones who are far beyond the intelligence of humans? What is the difference between this and the cats on the earth?
Soon, Sora got out of the backpack, and Bai Yiquan saw that it was holding two packaging bags in its mouth, one of which was "spicy dried fish" and the other was "spiced squid".
It turns out that this is the baby......
"Well, I want both of them. Kong Meizi jumped down from Bai Yiquan's thigh, her posture was extremely elegant, as if the creature that twisted her ass before was not it, "But my royal cat clan never takes other people's things for nothing, you gave me two things, meow, then I'll give you a gift." β
Didn't you even say a meow when you were excited? To be honest, Bai Yiquan didn't have any hope at all for the gift given by this undisciplined species. As it turned out, Sora pulled out a green silver coin out of nowhere and spread it out on the furry cat's paws.
Bai Yiquan had to take it: "What is this?"
"If you get into trouble, it will give you some help meow. With two food packaging bags in his mouth, he left the private room slowly, "I said meow, our royal cat family has never taken other people's things for nothing, and I have a chance to see meow again." β
The door to the private room was pulled back down, leaving behind three people who looked at each other.
"Forget it, the royal cat family is like this, just get used to it. Ye Zhifan said, "Compared with other orc clans, the heart and eye of the royal cat clan are not bad. I see you're tired, so take a break, we'll wake you up later. β
Bai Yiquan was about to say that he was not tired, but before he could say anything, sleepiness came to his heart like a tide. After yawning two or three times in succession, he lay down on the table and soon fell asleep.
After he fell asleep, He Xinxin looked at Ye Zhifan, his face full of incredulity: "I'm not mistaken, Sora actually gave him the [Certificate of Courage]? Just use a bag of snacks? It can't be fake." β
"I don't know why, but [the proof of courage] can't be faked. Ye Zhifan shook his head slowly, "Maybe Sora likes him more? β
"Really, how many orcs have bled out to get the [Proof of Courage] of the Cat Clan, and he only got it with a bag of snacks. He Xinxin spread his hands helplessly, "He still feels that he has lost." β
