Chapter 90: Dark Solo Dance (Part I)

The nightmare was like a quagmire, dragging Gu Tie to sink and sink, he desperately paddled his hands and feet, but the mud was too viscous, entangled his hands and feet, and he became more and more distant from the sunlight on the water, until the whole world fell into darkness.

Where is this?

He couldn't make a sound, and dimly saw a man's back flickering in the faint light. That familiar back appeared in his nightmares again and again, but Gu Tie never had a chance to see his front, and he didn't know who the man who dominated his subconscious was.

A shock woke Gu Tie from his coma. He groaned and slowly opened his eyes. It was still pitch black in front of him, and the regular vibrations made him realize that he was in some kind of vehicle, but he could not hear any noise, and the silence around him was like a tomb.

Gu Tie tried to move his fingers, the sequelae of TTDS poison gas immediately appeared, the nerve signals from any part of the body were amplified hundreds of times, and the nerve impulses generated by the tiny collision of the knuckles hitting the wall shot through Gu Tie's ulnar nerve, spinal cord, medulla oblongata, and thalamus like a bullet, and exploded brilliant fireworks on the cerebral cortex, Gu Tie was hit by a sharp pain without warning, and curled up with a wild scream, and the muscles all over his body twitched violently due to pain.

A few minutes later, Gu Tie, who was almost suffocated by the severe pain, took a long breath of air, spread his hands and feet weakly, and he could feel that the knuckles of the middle finger of his right hand were rapidly congested and swollen because the over-amplified pain signal touched the autonomous defense function.

“...... Hell, the Japanese ......" Gu Tie gritted his teeth and cursed. Closing his mouth tightly to prevent the pain from striking again made him bite off his tongue involuntarily, Gu Tie propped himself up slightly and looked around.

There is not a glimmer of light. The floors and walls are made of soft materials that absorb the sound very well. The air is relatively fresh, and there should be an air conditioning device. The whole room was shaking at regular intervals, two shaking in groups, about two sets of shaking in a second.

- I'm on a moving train. Gu Tie thought for a few seconds and came up with an answer.

He lay in the dark, moving every muscle in his body in turn, and with no damage other than the feeling of extreme fatigue and weakness, he slowed down as much as he could, and slowly stood up.

"Hasegawa? Hear me? You're already a dead man. Including your bullshit organization!" Gu Tie shouted. He didn't know if there were secret infrared cameras and microphones watching him, but being an honest prisoner was clearly not his style.

There was no response. The echo of the shouting voice was absorbed by the soft walls, and there was only a faint reverberation, which sounded dry. Gu Tie licked his lips. My lips were already chapped and I don't know how long I had been unconscious, but my body was already starting to show signs of dehydration. This does not bode well.

Gu Tie held on to a wall, slowly moved his steps, and calculated the distance in his heart. A few minutes later, he had a basic model of the dark and silent room in his mind: about 12 meters long, about 3 meters wide, and only 2 meters high, and there was no object other than himself.

It was an empty train car.

Gu Tie felt a pinprick-like tingling pain in the muscles all over his body, it seemed that the trace amount of lactic acid produced by the muscle cells was already sending an excessive amount of pain signals to the nerve center, and he had to rest.

He sat down against the wall, took a few deep breaths, and touched his body.

He was still wearing a collarless shirt and suspender cargo pants that Natalia had prepared, and he was wearing stiff-soled loafers, with empty trouser pockets and no belts, and many of the practical gadgets that Balvindra had prepared for him, but thankfully, there were no signs of sexual assault.

"Crazy!I always thought you were a guy!" Gu Tie grinned and said angrily.

He struck the floor with his fingernails, leaving no traces. No matter what material the interior of this carriage is made of, it cannot be destroyed by one's bare hands. Thinking of this, Gu Tie simply half-lay down in a more comfortable position, scratched his hair, and thought wildly.

The vibration was clearly transmitted into his body through the wall, Gu Tie reached out and pressed the wrist pulse of his other hand, closed his eyes, and counted the number of vibrations while counting the pulse.

“1、2、3...... 53,54。 In order to ensure the accuracy of the count, Gu Tie forced himself to calculate the number of heartbeats by reporting the number and the number of vibrations with the brain.

When the heartbeat reached 54 beats, there were 74 sets of two vibrations.

"74 km/h? I'm still in Belarus. Gu Tie immediately came to a conclusion.

This simple and easy calculation was learned by Gu Tie when he came to China with his father when he was about 10 years old, and in order to let Gu Tie experience the spectacular scenery of Eurasia, his father took him on the Eurasian Star intercontinental train from Austria to the final station in Beijing.

While crossing the Russian land, which was beautiful but boring, the bearded father pushed his glasses and said to Xiao Gu Tie, "Do you want to learn a trick?"

Gu Tie threw down the game console boredly and replied in more standard English than his father: "Okay." But you have to make sure that it doesn't be as old-fashioned and boring as the previous tricks. ”

The father smiled, "I promise." Now look at my watch. ”

Gu Tie leaned over and stared at the silver Breguet 5839 tourbillon watch on his father's wrist.

"Count how many groups of noise occur in 45 seconds when the wheels run over the rails. As you hear, two sounds are in groups. Father said.

Xiao Gu Tiehu looked at his father suspiciously, looked down at the watch hand pointing to an hour, and then began to count. After a while, he looked up: "It's been 45 seconds." The 'clang' sound rang 89 times. ”

"Well, now the train is traveling at a speed of 89 kilometers per hour. Father withdrew his wrist and smiled.

"Why?" Gu Tie's eyes widened.

Father held up a finger and shook it. It was a gesture that encouraged him to think for himself.

“...... What is the length of a railroad track?" Gu Tie thought for a while and asked.

"12.5 meters. You've found the answer, good. The father laughed and said, "We can check with Mr. Conductor to see if the calculation is correct." ”

Outside the box, there happened to be a conductor passing by, and Xiao Gu Tie poked his head out and shouted, "Hey, hello." How fast are we now?"

The conductor took out the walkie-talkie from his bosom and said a few words, and a rough male voice and laughter came from the walkie-talkie: "Since we are crossing the hilly terrain and are in the process of climbing, we are now only 90 kilometers per hour, -- by the way, we are in Russia, then, 85 versts per hour, little sir." I'm Comrade Commander, -- the call is over. ”

Gu Tie returned to his seat and raised his hand to high-five his father, "Cool!"

The father laughed, "Look, this trick won't be so old-fashioned and boring, right?"

"It's not a trick at all, Dad, it's science!" Gu Tie pouted: "It doesn't count at all!"

"yes, science. Science ......" When my father heard this word, he couldn't help but be stunned, reached out and took off his glasses, took out his suede and wiped it. This is the body language that represents annoyance, Gu Tie closed his mouth knowingly.

In fact, before deciding to send him to settle in China, his father, despite his best efforts to hide it, several times a day showed that he was in a state of extreme anxiety and irritability.

Until now, Gu Tie had not found a real reason for him to do so.

"My relaxed heartbeat is 72 beats per minute, and 54 beats represents 45 seconds. 74 groups of shocks, 74 km/h. How simple math. How old the story. What a boyhood. Thinking of the past, Gu Tie couldn't help but sigh a little.

74 km/h. At present, the railway system in Eastern Europe generally increases the speed to about 200 kilometers per hour, and insists on using the railway transportation standards of the CIS era.

He breathed a sigh of relief. Whatever little Japan's intentions were, at least it hadn't been shipped to some small island nation and become a test subject for some mysterious underworld. Having said that, although his identity is special, he is an insignificant minor role for most people, so what reason does Hasegawa Honsaka have to kidnap himself as an indisputable otaku like him?

No, no, no. Gu Tie shook his head and denied his thoughts. He has always attached great importance to the protection of physiological characteristics, and there is a filtering program on 'Genesis' that keeps running and occupies a lot of timing resources, and always uses a harmless way to judge the various sound and light signals transmitted around his location, so as to ensure that his ordinary appearance does not appear in the hands of the big men in GTC. With the exception of a handful of very close friends within the IPU, almost no one has been able to grasp his identity.

And Hasegawa is a close friend.

Given that the Japanese appeared single-handedly, attacked themselves in a stealthy way, and clumsily took a shot of themselves, this could not have been a premeditation by the GTC or any other organization, but more like a spontaneous action by Hasegawa Honsaka.

So what reason does Hasegawa have to do this?

Gu Tie thought wildly, but he couldn't find a reason for the other party's action no matter what.
