Chapter 1 - The Train of Fate
Lian Shan is 18 years old this year, and he is just about to enter a little-known business school in another country.
But in fact, Lianjia is a very famous businessman in Flowing Water City, and the logistics and transportation of the entire Flowing Water City are contracted by Lianjia, and it is not a problem to send Lianshan to study in the country's super-first-class business school with Lianjia's capital.
But the problem is that Lianshan "can't make it".
Born in a merchant family, he didn't ask about business since he was a child, and in the eyes of his family, he didn't know how to learn.
Lian Shan carried a small suitcase and waited for the magic train on the platform, and the rails forged from special materials shimmered blue in the moonlight, shining on Lian Shan's calm face, like moonlight shining in a lake.
A train stopped silently in front of Lianshan, but this train was not for her, she still stood quietly in place, as if she was contemplating, and her brain was blank.
"Passengers from Flowing Water City to Jindingtai can get on the bus, and passengers from Flowing Water City to Jindingtai can get on the bus." A female voice over the megaphone broke the silence of Lianshan, and she took a step to the left, vacating the exit of the train, and placed her bag on the ground.
"Look, that girl, old like an uncle." "Really, I'm pretty good-looking, how do I feel like I'm old." The two girls sitting opposite each other on the train looked at Lian Shan and whispered.
Lian Shan caught a glimpse of the two of them with his peripheral vision, glanced at them and lowered his head. Half an hour later, the train that Lianshan was going to take arrived, and slowly stopped in front of her, and she picked up her bag and walked up.
With the ticket and the bag in hand, Lianshan found her place, which was a window position, she put the bag at her feet, and then pushed the window up. The car started slowly, the speed of the magic energy train was not fast, and with the soothing evening breeze, Lian Shan leaned back in his chair and fell asleep.
After a while, Lian Shan opened his eyes, because there was a clanging sound from the impact of iron tools around him. It was a boy her age.
His short hair and erect features were as resolute as mountains and mountains, and what didn't match his clean appearance was the bag in his hand, which was stained with oil and stains, and judging by the sound he had just made, it might contain iron tools such as hammers and awls.
Lian Shan silently prayed that the boy would not sit next to him at this moment, because she had not rested for a long time, and her sleep was very light, and the slightest movement could wake her up.
However, on this empty train, the boy happened to be sitting next to him. The boy looked at Lianshan with his eyes closed, slowed down his movements, and quietly put the bag on the luggage rack.
With a faint smile on his face, he sat down and took out a book from his pocket. Lian Shan squinted and looked at it, the book was also clean, but there was no cover, she didn't know what kind of book it was, she only saw the boy looking at it with relish.
About another hour later, the boy suddenly raised his head and looked out the window. Through the trees on the side of the road that were moving back more quickly, he noticed that the low-speed train was slowly starting to pick up speed, and the acceleration was still rising.
He didn't take it very seriously at first, but just as he was about to refocus on his book, he heard something unexpected, the sound of something hitting the roof of the car.
He still stood up slowly, not wanting to alarm the girl next to him. Then, the boy pulled out a black piece of iron from his bag on the luggage rack and walked in the direction of the front of the car.
After the boy left, Lian Shan's eyes widened in horror, how could she not know what the iron block that the boy had just taken out was, it was something that should not have appeared in this world, a pistol!
Because of this world full of magic, people have long since abandoned the use of iron weapons to attack each other, and replaced them with knives, swords, and rods that can drive magic. Even an ordinary person like her, who was born with no connection to magic, could attack with a one-time magic scroll. There is no doubt that in this world, guns are at the bottom of the weapons ranking.
However, in Lianshan's previous life, on Earth in the solar system, guns were the fastest and deadliest weapons, and Lianshan clearly knew the danger of pistols.
She opened her chest and pulled out a crystal clear hedron from it. Because the train of this world does not allow weapons and scrolls to be brought on the train, the stone in her hand is an ordinary stone that has been infused with magic power, and if she uses this stone as a medium, even she can launch a small magic attack.
Then she stood up and walked backwards as she watched the boy depart. She now needs to find the train's attendant magician as soon as possible to report the matter.
The low-speed magic train has an attendant magician on duty every five cars, and she is lucky enough to walk two cars back to get there.
But no sooner had she passed the junction of the carriages than a loud explosion was heard in front of her, and the whole train trembled. Lian Shan didn't stand firm, and the violent shaking made her fall to the ground, and her feet slammed hard.
"Hiss......" The sharp pain made Lianshan take a breath of cool air. But she knew that if she didn't find the magician in the car quickly, she would only become more dangerous, so she struggled to hold on to her chair and continue walking.
Reluctantly walked to the duty room, Lian Shan's heart suddenly cooled, because she saw that the uniformed magician in the car had already collapsed in a pool of blood, his pupils dilated, and his frightened expression stayed on his face.
Lian Shan hurriedly covered his mouth, in order not to scream out. Calm down, you have to calm down quickly, Lian Shan comforted herself, and at the same time tried to take a deep breath to adjust herself, but at this time her heart was beating violently, and the blood was flowing quickly throughout her body, she couldn't calm down, and her body began to tremble.
The speed of the low-speed train has now reached the maximum speed of the limit, and its speed is infinitely close to that of the high-speed magic train, she originally wanted to fight to see if she could jump out of the train, but at this time, if she jumped, she would definitely fall into meat sauce.
Lian Shan's grip on the stone tightened, and her current thought was that no matter what appeared in front of her, she would be the first to start the magic.
"Hey." A man's voice suddenly sounded behind her.
With a bang, the stone in Lian Shan's hand flashed brightly, she turned her head and swung a fireball with a very high temperature with her fist, the fireball twisted the air and rushed out at high speed, but the man behind her dodged the fireball with a backward lean.
The sound was just a mountain of fireballs smashing through the roof of the train.
"Are you crazy?!" The man quickly squeezed her hand holding the stone.
Lian Shan felt like he was caught in his hand by iron tongs, and cried out.
"Shh The man quickly put his index finger in front of his mouth and made a shushing motion, while letting go of Lianshan's hand.
Only then did Lian Shan recognize this face, it was the boy who was sitting next to him just now.
The boy still had the black pistol in his hand.
"I just went to the front to take a look, it should be an air thief, the equipment is very advanced, and it is organized and premeditated." The boy whispered to Lianshan.
Seeing that Lian Shan still had a tense face and didn't speak, the boy continued, "But there are no people on this night train, and the front of the car is also a very low-end engine, so they should not be coming for money, but for "someone". ”
Lian Shan nodded nervously, like a chicken pecking rice.
"I don't have any status, and I don't have any money." The boy stared at Lianshan, who nodded frantically.
"So they're not here to rob you, are they?" He finally couldn't hold back, and pressed his hand on the head of Lianshan, who nodded frantically.
"I, I, I, my family has money, but I don't!" Lian Shan stammered.
The boy nodded, "My name is Duan En, and I will do everything I can to keep you alive." ”
Lian Shan was about to cry, although this sentence was not that long, but at this moment the weight of this sentence was heavier than gold.
After that, Duan En ignored Lianshan's reaction, dragged her behind him, and protected her with his own arms.
"This carjacking is premeditated, the magicians on the car are dead, but there is not even a single alarm, I think there should be Nei Ying mixed in this car in advance, and the front and rear of the car should also be occupied by air thieves at this time."
Duan En pulled Lian Shan against the wall of the carriage and blocked the two with curtains.
Then, the jumble of footsteps grew louder and louder, and it was a group of heavily armed men slamming the door into the back of the car, leaving behind a person at each passing car, and then the man stopped to search the car carefully.
The people who stopped in the carriage of Lianshan and Duan En did not make any extra movements, and directly leaned over to search the underside of each seat, because the curtain was a little away from the wall, the curtain that hid the two of them did not look too bloated.
But this cheap disguise could not escape the eyes of the carpet searchers, and the air thief only got a little closer to find the clue.
The air thief waved his arm, and a miniature spear-like staff bounced out from under his arm, and he struck a fighting stance close to the curtain where the two men were.
At the moment when his hand was about to lift the curtain, Lian Shan and Duan En rushed out of the curtain, Duan En held the muzzle of the gun and swung it fiercely at the head of the air thief with the handle of the gun, and Lian Shan quickly and decisively kicked the crotch of the air thief.
With two muffled thuds, the attacks of both men worked at the same time, and the air thief fainted in severe pain.
"Eldest sister, you're good."
Duan En didn't expect Lian Shan to take the initiative to attack with him so quickly without communication.
After that, Duan En felt a sharp pain in his waist as if he had been bitten by a huge black ant, and it was Lian Shan's hand, pinching his waist to death. Lian Shan exerted force in his hand and looked at Duan En viciously.
Her newly broken foot had no pain under the action of adrenaline, but the kick just now made her unable to support her body at this time, and the sharp pain spread throughout her body, and she collapsed in her chair.
Duan En finally had a chance to take a closer look at the face of this fellow traveler, her short curly hair fluttering like ink-dyed silk in the evening breeze, and her delicate facial features were as flawless as the chess pieces placed by the two masters of the game, but her tired face covered it all with a gray veil, and did not fully show this beautiful person to the world to admire.
For a moment, Duan En looked at his mind and forgot that the two of them were in danger.
"I may not be able to walk, my feet hurt terribly." Lian Shan kept rubbing his ankles, trying to relieve the pain.
"You hold on to me, and we'll fight all the way out." Duan En hugged Lian Shan as he spoke.
Lianshan suddenly had a black line, kill out? Is this guy really crazy?
She felt that Duan En picked her up at this moment completely to treat her as a human body armor.
"Just that kind of armament, now there is a whole car, you put me down, if I am lucky enough to live, I will help you erect a monument in the future." Lian Shan wanted to break free from Duan En's embrace.
Who knew that Duan En's hug was tighter, and when Lian Shan looked up, Duan En's face actually showed a smile that read victory.
"Don't tell anyone what's next." Duan En looked at Lian Shan with a smile.
Before Lian Shan could react, Duan En had already half-crouched down, and the air behind him distorted as if it had been subjected to high temperatures.
Then he suddenly ran forward, and then raised his left knee suddenly, his left knee vaguely seemed to be wrapped in a layer of armor, Lian Shan was frightened by the sudden movement, and quickly turned his back and hugged Duan En tightly, for fear that he would fall.
When she turned her head, she saw something she didn't think she should see in this world, the four pillars of blue light that were like the engines of a fighter plane in motion, and the air around them was distorted by the flames of the thrusters.
With the sound of a huge explosion-like engine, Lian Shan felt that the scenery around her was illusory, her mouth could not be closed because of the extremely high speed, and within half a second, Duan En actually kicked off the top of the train and flew into the air.
The successive events are no longer for Lianshan to think about, and the only word left in his mind is shock.
However, Lianshan didn't know that something more shocking had not yet happened.
Because Duan En had already put on a flying kick posture and aimed at the speeding locomotive.
Lian Shan snorted and blew his nose, only to know that he had gotten on the thief ship, but it was too late.
