6. The Train to Another World (Part I)
After nightfall, the luxurious Rolls-Royce Phantom is like a sharp knife, cutting through the torrent of steel on the road. The overtaken drivers didn't realize what the overtaken car was, and when they looked up, they could only see the taillights, so every driver's face was covered with consternation.
That car was not less than 200 yards on a non-highway road?
Is the owner a madman, or is he a madman?
......
Bai Yiquan didn't realize what kind of car he was sitting in at all, he always held his luggage and stared blankly at the city outside the car window. Those familiar buildings are being overtaken by the car little by little, and the next time I want to see them, I'm afraid it will be next year.
That's right, he finally agreed to these people, and decided to go to the [THIRD] academy that he had never heard of. As for why, he couldn't say why, maybe it was because of the girl who was unmasked but needed his help, or maybe it was some words that his father said to him at the end.
Before he made a decision, his father Bai Yishan walked into his room, and the father and son sat face to face, the moonlight sprinkled on his father's face, pulling his father's figure on the wooden floor. It was like a vigorous pine tree, and he remembered that since he was in high school, father and son had hardly had such a face-to-face conversation.
Of course, unilateral training does not count.
The father was silent for a long time, and slowly spit out a sentence: "If you leave this family, you will be considered to have grown up." ”
It was this sentence that almost made Bai Yiquan shed tears. In the three years of high school, Bai Yishan talked to him countless times, and finally ended with a sigh and a sentence of "When will you grow up, Yiquan". Now, he says that he has grown up, is it a disguised recognition of himself?
But sadly, the self he recognizes is not his real self, just a "kid next door" fabricated by others. Once this day is over, he will be beaten back to his original form like Cinderella who has lost the crystal slipper, and the prince will not come back to him, and finally turn back into the muddy high school junior who eats and waits for death every day.
So he suddenly felt that it seemed good to let his father immerse himself in the "reality" that had been created. He liked the feeling that father and son were sitting together as equals, as if they were two equal men, not one man and one boy.
"When I go abroad, I hold back any hardships in my heart, and when I come back, tell me not to cry at every turn, because it is easy to be looked down upon. Bai Yishan said.
"I see, Dad. He tried to keep his head up and didn't let the tears fall, "It's time, it's time for me to go." ”
So, he sat in the car.
"You chose to enroll, then tonight's magic won't be gone. Ye Zhifan said while driving, "But it will still fade, people's impression of you will fade little by little, and finally stay in the impression that you don't need to take the college entrance examination, but are exceptionally admitted to a foreign university." ”
Bai Yiquan nodded.
"In other words, the [THIRD] academy, which is ranked sixth in the world, is gone. He Xinxin spread her hands, "After all, making up a huge lie requires too many lies to cooperate, and the time of the day is okay, no one can see it." But over time, the loopholes that are not covered up will be exposed one by one, and eventually become the original appearance, so it is undoubtedly the best way to dilute your impression in other people's minds. ”
Bai Yiquan continued to nod, but at this time he noticed that something was wrong, and asked suspiciously: "It doesn't seem that this is the way to the airport." ”
"It wasn't meant to be the airport. He Xinxin said, "It's going to the train station." ”
"The train station?"
Bai Yiquan thought for a while, and then nodded: "Understood, are we going to Shanghai or Beijing?
"Why go to Canada?"
"Isn't the college in Canada?"
"Of course not, we just made it up. He Xinxin shrugged, "Let's take the special train back to the academy tonight, don't look at me like that, I won't abduct you, you'll know later." ”
Bai Yiquan had to obediently close his mouth, for some reason, he felt that He Xinxin seemed to be able to see through his thoughts. Every time a question came out of her heart, she could answer it, but he hadn't asked yet.
A quarter of an hour later, they arrived at the train station. Bai Yiquan looked down at the time and found that it was exactly eleven o'clock, which meant that the train they were going to take still had half an hour to arrive at the station. Then it can almost be ruled out that it is a bullet train, and the bullet train stops running after 12 o'clock.
Ye Zhifan closed the car door, helped Bai Yiquan pick up his suitcase and walked to the train station.
"Wait, is the car here?"
"Well, this car wasn't ours in the first place. Ye Zhifan said calmly, "Someone will come to pick it up."
Not theirs......
Bai Yiquan felt that it was better to keep his mouth shut. In addition to his own three bags of luggage, Ye Zhifan and He Xinxin only had one small bag, which made him feel that he was the only one who went to school, and the two of them were just here to see him off.
There weren't many people in the train station anymore, and only a handful of people were waiting in the huge waiting room. The ticket inspector in charge of the ticket inspection looked drowsy and leaned against the door. This made Bai Yiquan feel a little strange, when did the staff in the train station become so irresponsible?
"Welcome, Ichizumi-san. ”
When Bai Yiquan was still observing the staff, a voice like thunder sounded in his ears, he was startled, and he was hugged before he could react. He turned his head to see that it was Mentor Herme, who had arrived at the station one step earlier, who was holding him.
"You don't have to call me a mentor. Hermo patted Bai Yiquan's shoulder affectionately, "Before entering the academy, you were not my student, and of course you may not be after entering. ”
It was inexplicable again, Bai Yiquan sighed in his heart and decided to remain silent.
"How long will it take for X730 to arrive?" Hermo turned his head to look at Ye Zhifan.
Ye Zhifan looked down at his watch and replied, "Five minutes." ”
"Then it's time for us to get ready. ”
Hermo grabbed Bai Yiquan's hand and walked towards the ticket gate. Bai Yiquan was stunned and shouted loudly, "Wait, I haven't got my ID card yet."
"ID card? what's that?" Hermer frowned, "Is it a KFC coupon like that?"
Bai Yiquan suddenly didn't know how to answer Herme, not only his ID card, but also the ticket, so how could the ticket inspector put them in? However, the fact was still beyond his expectations, the ticket inspectors guarding both sides of the ticket gate actually fell asleep on their stools, and they didn't even wake up when they crossed the ticket gate.
This, that's okay?!
Bai Yiquan was messy. Their movements were obviously not small, and the wheels of the suitcase rubbed against the ground and made a loud "click" sound, constantly echoing in the empty waiting room. However, everyone didn't seem to hear, the ticket inspector didn't make a move, and the mother and son who were waiting for the bus didn't even raise their heads to look this way.
"Look at the dots. He Xinxin began to chew bubble gum, "Don't roll all the way down." ”
Bai Yiquan didn't speak, and the four of them walked to the platform like this. Except for the four of them, the platform was empty, there was not a single train on the tracks, and the silence was eerily silent. At this time, Ye Zhifan's mobile phone suddenly lit up, he took out his mobile phone and glanced at it, and his brows frowned.
"What's wrong?"
"Flight attendant of the X730. Ye Zhifan put the phone back in his pocket, "She said that the train will not stop in this world, but it will slow down, and we only have twelve seconds." ”
Bai Yiquan was stunned, what do you mean that there is only twelve seconds?
Herme's face changed, and he spat on the ground fiercely, scolding, "These damn madmen, if—"
Before Hermo could scold, a roar suddenly sounded above Bai Yiquan's head. The blinding curtain of light pierced the darkness, like a lighthouse in the deep sea, and the fallen leaves under his feet were constantly shaking, and the entire platform was like a giant awakened from its slumber.
He looked up and saw a scene he would never forget.
An ancient train "drilled" out of the building overhead, and the head of the train spat out white mist and let out a roaring "whining" sound, breaking the darkness and silence at the same time. It's just that the ground is right in front of this train! Bai Yiquan seemed to have seen his end, the train would crash into the ground and explode, and all of them would be swallowed by the explosion waves.
"I'm - still - yes - say, these fucking lunatics!"
Hermo roared wildly, Bai Yiquan was no longer able to complain, no one could escape this distance. The train was like a steel dragon, opening its fanged mouth towards them. But just then, someone grabbed him by the collar.
Ye Zhifan's voice sounded in his ears: "Shut your mouth." ”
Before Bai Yiquan could react, he was sucked in by a powerful force. Everything in front of him disappeared, the platform, the luggage, the station was already hideous, Hermo and He Xinxin, who was blowing bubble gum with an indifferent face. The world seemed to turn into a monotonous gray vortex, and his stomach began to stir wildly, so he covered his mouth and tried not to vomit the meal he ate that night.
I don't know how long it took, maybe it was a few minutes, maybe it was just a few seconds. He had only come into contact with the solid earth again, but his face was facing the ground, and his neck was twisted. But it doesn't matter, the feeling of the aftermath is far more than anything else.
When he opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was a yellow chandelier above his head. He was stunned for about ten seconds before a sharp voice sounded in his ears: "ENGLISH?日本語?Deutsch or Chinese ah meow." ”
Bai Yiquan followed the sound, and soon the corners of his mouth twitched.
It was a cat talking to him?
"You, you, you—" Bai Yiquan pointed to the cat's nose, speechless.
"It seems to be Chinese. The cat in the cyan uniform licked its paws, "Welcome to the X730 space-time train, meow, I'm the conductor [empty], meow." ”
Bai Yiquan felt that his worldview had completely collapsed.
