After passing the security check, Chen Wang still paid for it and bought two consecutive tickets for the "Ibusuki Jade Hand Box".

The "Ibusuki Tamate" is actually a very famous train in Japan, and legend has it that its design was inspired by the ancient legend of the Dragon Palace that has been passed down on the Satsuma Peninsula:

A long time ago, there was a young man named "Urashima Taro", who rescued a turtle who was bullied by a child on the beach, and the turtle took Urashima Taro to Ryugu in order to repay his kindness, and the princess of Ryugu Otohime entertained him warmly, and the boy also spent a very happy and prosperous time in Ryugu. Before leaving, Princess Otohime gave him a jade hand box and told him not to open it.

And Taro Urashima finally opened the jade hand box.

When he opened the jade hand box, the mysterious smoke that came out instantly turned his black hair into pale hair.

It is also inspired by this, and the "Ibusuki Jade Hand Box" will also spray white mist to welcome passengers when the door is opened and closed, evoking the memories of "one day in fairyland, several years on earth".

After getting on the train, Chen Wang put the two schoolbags on the luggage rack above his head, and the whole person immediately collapsed on the seat of the train.

Girls always like to take everything they can with them when they go out, Chen Wang looked at the slowly moving shadows of the trees outside the window, and couldn't help but sigh in a low voice.

The Ibusuki Tamate-box route is not very long, and it takes just over 50 minutes to travel from central Kagoshima to Ibusuki, but the scenery along the way is stunning, and the long stretch of southern Japan coastline is illuminated by the sun, revealing a deep blue color, and many of Higashino's novels have depicted this area.

"I've heard that there are many hot springs in Japan where men and women bathe together."

Chen Wang looked down at the introduction of the hot spring on his phone, and at the same time took a small bite of the dessert in his hand, completely ignoring that the ice inside had almost melted.

"I've heard about it, too."

Gu Xi had already finished eating the snowflake soju at the moment, she didn't know if it was an alcohol allergy or what, her little face flushed: "But I also heard that the people who still take the male and female baths are some lonely old ladies, do you have that special hobby?" ”

"Not really."

Chen Wang scratched his head: "Frankly speaking, the only old woman I like is my mother, but as long as I call her an old woman, she will give me a punch." ”

"Please..."

Gu Xi gently punched Chen Wang: "You're secretly changing your concept again." ”

"yes, something like this."

Chen Wang squinted his eyes and looked at the aisle, at this moment, there happened to be a cart passing by, and the conductor was selling train souvenirs to the passengers passing by, Chen Wang thought about it, and reached out to the conductor to ask for two certificates for several years, this thing is free, as a certificate that you have taken this sightseeing train.

As soon as he finished thanking the conductor, Chen Wang felt a pressure on his shoulder, he turned his head to look, Gu Xi tilted his head and pillowed his shoulder, the warm sun shone on her soft forehead, revealing only a delicate little face, and the long eyelashes left two shadows on the face.

Chen Wang's heart moved, and the eyelashes could be counted one by one, as if counting time.

In fact, Chen Wang has been feeling a little strange since he got in the car, and it stands to reason that his ex-girlfriend should not be a fuel-efficient lamp.

Don't look at Gu Xi's usual quiet appearance, but when she was in junior high school, she was the royal sister among the royal sisters, and it was common for her to give orders to the little boys in the class who were just starting to fall in love.

Why is it suddenly softening now?

Chen Wang lowered his gaze and looked at the plastic necklace around Gu Xi's neck that had lost color.

Maybe it's because of the reflection of the sun, it's a bit dazzling.

If only I could change to a more beautiful one.

Chen Wang couldn't help but think silently in his heart, the next second, he smelled the faint smell of alcohol between the girl's lips, and he suddenly understood, maybe Gu Xi's quietness after getting into the car was just because of the effect of alcohol, right?

Lao Chen raised his head with a smile and looked around at the crowd of people sitting around, basically all of them were black-haired and yellow-skinned faces who were looking down and playing with their mobile phones.

There was only one exception, it was a young man in a long black trench coat, he had a silver ring with gentian pattern on his hand, handsome and a little feminine, his white skin had a marble-like texture, his eyebrows were straight, and the whole person gave people the feeling of a young faculty member of some academy.

He just sat there, with his head in one hand, in a silent daze.

It's just that he doesn't know why, Chen Mo instinctively feels that this is a dangerous guy, and vaguely, he feels that the two seem to be the same kind.

The man also noticed Chen Wang's gaze, their gaze met in the air, and then nodded to each other.

During this short journey, people seemed to have chosen to be quiet tacitly, not wanting to disturb the tranquility of this afternoon, and Chen Wang was silent with his hands on his cheeks.

He lowered his head and stared at Gu Xi's face for a long time, and inexplicably thought of Ramses II in ancient Egypt, thinking to himself that maybe that god-like Egyptian was actually a "half-blood", otherwise how could he have such a powerful power?

It's just that in the next second, he couldn't help but smirk together - from a young beautiful girl suddenly thinking of the pharaoh of ancient Egypt, even if it is a divergent thinking, it is inevitably a bit too exaggerated.

The time for this cranky thinking did not last long, and after about half an hour, with the sound of steam, the Ibusuki jade hand box arrived at the station.

Chen Wang patted Gu Xi several times, but the girl showed no sign of waking up, but smacked her lips, turned over and continued to sleep in dissatisfaction.

Seems to be a little overwhelmed?

Lao Chen scratched his head, looking very distressed, and the conductor noticed the situation here and came over, and asked Chen Wang in standard English what service he could provide him.

“Im fine，thank you.”

Chen Wang squeezed out a sentence of English that was not quite suitable for this context from between his teeth, then stood up, carried Gu Xi's backpack behind him, stuck his small bag in front of him, and hugged Gu Xi from the train.

The beautiful man and the beautiful princess hugged, it was a very beautiful scenery, and some tourists around thought they were making some kind of movie, and even took out their mobile phones to take pictures, and Chen Wang could only nod his head expressionlessly, probably expressing "I'm fine" or something like that.

Squeezing through the crowd, Chen Wang easily rushed out of the station with Gu Xi in his arms, and came to a nearby hotel, he took out his passport and asked for a double room, and he didn't ask the price, but just threw out a credit card to the front desk and told her that it was worth swiping.

Anyway, after going back, just find a reason to let the academy reimburse, and those old guys have the budget and funds in their hands.

He placed Gu Xi on the big bed next to him, tucked her quilt away, and lay on the side, took out his mobile phone and began to read.

Chen Wang was looking at a research report on the Jade Record, which he had stumbled upon in the library last year and was a reference material for the "third level of ancient history."

The so-called "Jade Record" is a book engraved on an emerald plate in 1900 B.C., written by the Trinity of the god Hermes in Egyptian mythology, it is one of the oldest alchemical texts that have been handed down, with only 13 sentences in total, but it contains all the truths of alchemy.

Chen Wang didn't know Latin, but this did not prevent him from reading the translated version, to be honest, he was very puzzled by the "Taiyi" that had been mentioned in this "Jade Record", and he felt that if he simply understood it as the universe, it seemed that there would be a lot of things missing.

“Quod est inferius est sicut quod est superius， et quod est superius est sicut quod est inferius， ad perpetranda miracula rei unius.”

"The bottom is like the top, the top is like the bottom; In this way, the miracle of the One is accomplished. ”

was a very awkward sentence, but it made Chen Wang always feel that he had something to gain.

When it was near evening, Chen Wang's phone rang, and he looked down to see that it was Chu Zihang.

"I'm sorry to disturb you and your sister's leisure."

Chu Zihang's deep voice came from the other end of the phone: "But I just received a notice from Lancelot that tomorrow is the school's 'Freedom Day', and we must hurry back to school now." ”

"Okay."

Chen Wang's face sank instantly: "But why is this year's Freedom Day suddenly so advanced?" Didn't I remember last year when it was held in the second semester of my freshman year? ”

"I heard that it was the people on the student council side who wanted to surprise the new students who reported it." Speaking of this, Chu Zihang paused slightly.

"It's more like a surprise than a fright......

Chen Wang sighed, hung up the phone, and reached out to pat his junior sister's face: "Lazy pig, wake up, it's time to go back to the academy." ”
