Chapter 5 He Needs More Money(1/2)

After getting on the bus, Jiang Xueming found a seat and sat down.

Consciously or unconsciously, he looked at the other passengers in the carriage, trying to blend into the environment and gradually relax his tense nerves.

However, I don’t know why. The other guests in the carriage left their seats in unison, as if they had seen the plague, and hurriedly went to other places.

"what happened?"

For a moment, Xueming was confused and didn't know what these passengers were afraid of or what they were avoiding...

It would be better to be cleaner - thinking this, he turned his gaze elsewhere to relax his mind.

Counting from the luggage rack at the train entrance, there are a total of sixteen rows of seats in one carriage, which is considered a luxurious configuration with a lot of space.

There are three seats in each row, and the aisle in the middle is wide enough to accommodate a dining table.

The window is open and there is no protective net. Guests can lean on the window to watch the scenery, or even jump out of the car directly.

Each location is equipped with a work surface and dining side table.

Xueming tested the weight and feel of the countertop. It should be high-quality solid wood furniture, with smooth repairs. Top-notch paint and waxing techniques make the board feel like warm jade.

The carpets on the seats and the leather on the armrests, the fragrances in every two rows, and the violin music playing from the invisible speakers hidden in the overhead luggage rack.

These expensive and luxurious materials made Xueming feel very strange.

He has never been in such a nice car. He has never seen any hotel with such a level of decoration.

The sound of the flute outside the car window is long-lasting, and the air inside the car window is sweet.

He thought, if there was a cup of hot tea at this time...

"Mr. Jiang Xueming, your afternoon tea is here." Before anyone arrived, the woman's greeting and the steam of the tea soup arrived first.

Xueming looked back and saw a dining cart pushed from the aisle and parked next to his seat.

"Sorry to keep you waiting." The woman said hello. She was wearing a burgundy suit and short black hair, exactly the same as in the portrait.

Her movements in serving tea and water were casual and natural, her hands and feet were as nimble as a handyman's, without any airs.

To be honest, Xueming has never seen such a cold and solemn woman.

When she handed the tea, she stretched her waist gracefully, her face was expressionless, her cheekbones and nose bridge were very high, her facial features were very three-dimensional, her eyes were small and very sharp.

The bright red tea soup fell into the white porcelain cup quickly and hard without splashing any water.

Xueming wanted to say hello.

But this woman never seemed to take Jiang Xueming seriously.

She just sat on the other side of the table and started pouring herself a drink.

At this moment, a dark cat emerged from the dining car, which was very eye-catching.

Since it appeared on the table, it seems to have become the absolute protagonist, stealing all the scenes.

It is like an elegant lady, pacing gently on the table.

Looking at Jiang Xueming curiously, a pair of big green eyes resembled emeralds. Sometimes they turned into line boys, and sometimes they were round and perfect, as if they were zooming in at any time, trying to see Jiang Xueming clearly from the inside out.

Xueming only felt that the little black cat was as clever as a child. He wanted to tease the cat, but the hand he just extended out was froze in midway - because the cat rejected him.

Specifically, it was this black cat that, like a human, stretched out its front paws and pressed on the back of Xueming's hand.

Jiang Xueming only felt embarrassed and laughed a few times.

Listen to a series of soft sounds like "bang rumble".

The sound of the steel chain noose and the brakes engaging was heard.

The sudden start of the train alleviated the embarrassment.

He put aside his curiosity about the cat and said hello to the strange woman at the opposite table in a serious manner.

"Hello, BOSS."

"Hello, Jiang Xueming."

The black cat spoke.

Yes, the black cat opened its mouth.

It stuck out its pink tongue, exposed its white teeth, and the white hairs under its throat trembled along with its vocal organs, and spoke human words.

Its sound was very strange, exactly the same as the sound made by the confidential number Xueming contacted in the hospital.

Xueming looked at the woman and then at the black cat.

Then the process is repeated.

Looking at the woman, she shrugged helplessly and continued drinking tea.

Looking at the black cat, the black cat pursed its lips and squinted its eyes, looking sulky.

Jiang Xueming finally came to his senses, figured it out, and wanted to change his story.

——Who would have thought that the boss of this station is a cat?

"If my guess is correct...the person in front of me...hiss..."

"Majesty." Black Cat interrupted: "If you can't find the adjective, I can give you a dictionary, Mr. Jiang Xueming."

"Yes, the majestic webmaster." Jiang Xueming changed his words in a shocked voice. His sister's life was still in the hands of this weird-tempered cat, and he did not dare to offend him at all.

The black cat seemed to be angry. It stood up on its two hind legs, hugged each other with its forelimbs, and tapped its tail restlessly on the table.

"Did you just-"

The longest claw popped out from the flesh pad, like the index finger of the palm, pointing at the woman behind it.

"——Take my servant as the station master? Don't lie to me. No one can lie to me at my station."

"I..." Xueming explained: "When I first saw your portrait, that's exactly what I thought..."

"Then you remember it for me, Mr. Xiaochi." The little black cat used its body length of only forty centimeters to say a line with an aura of four meters high: "I am the BOSS of this station, and I am also the portrait.

The absolute main content. The servant behind me, you can think of her as the human cat climbing frame used to support me to climb up to the main body of the painting."

Xueming nodded immediately: "Understood."

The black cat changed his position, watching Erlang's legs sitting on the edge of the table, and sat in front of Xueming.

It waved its little paws and shook its head in a serious manner: "You have something to ask of me, and I also have something to entrust you to do - let's get straight to the point and get straight to the point. Talk about something if you have something to say, and let us go if nothing happens."

Xueming breathed a sigh of relief: "It couldn't be better, BOSS."

Black Cat...oh no, he should be called BOSS now.

The BOSS briefly explained the main purpose of this trip to Xueming.

"What you have to do is follow this bus to the corresponding stop. Ten minutes before the bus stops, the announcement will announce your name to remind you to get off."

Xueming: "What are you going to do after you get off the car?"

"Observe, carefully observe things outside the station." BOSS pointed out Xueming's main task bluntly: "Record what you see and experience in your passenger log, and be detailed and appropriate. Don't treat it as a travel diary.

Write."

"Then what?" Jiang Xueming immediately took out the manual that Xiao Qi had tucked into his clothes. There was a pen in the folder. He listened and took notes, for fear of missing details.

"I will arrange a comfortable and safe journey for each passenger." BOSS continued: "For a newcomer like you who enters the underground world for the first time, the train ride should take more than three hours.

——During this period, you should clarify the rules and regulations in the ride log. You can ask your seniors or fellow travelers for their ride experience."

"What's the name of the place I'm going to? What will I encounter? How long will I stay? Is there any danger?" Jiang Xueming continued to take notes without raising his head.

BOSS speaks very fast and answers fluently. "The place you are going to is tentatively named SW.

The station has just been built and will be renamed in the future, so there are not many security personnel.

However, the concentration of spiritual disasters in that area is not high, and the madness index is also very low. The astral residents in the unknown area are not aggressive and hope to communicate with people from the outside world.

To put it simply... it's very safe.

According to the information provided by previous passengers, it is a Feng Shui treasure land suitable for building a transfer hub.

After getting off the bus, our security personnel will send you to the nearest supply station to rest. After two days of sightseeing, you can return to Jiujie Station and get your rewards."

Xueming left scrawled writing under the diary, and added a few unfamiliar terms.

SW represents the place name and the temporary name of the station.

Spiritual disasters and spiritual disaster concentrations represent dangerous disasters.

Unknown areas should refer to places in the underground world that have not yet been explored.

What the inhabitants of the star realm are talking about may be underground creatures, or it may be other things. Let’s put a question mark for now and check the detailed explanation in the log later.

The madness index should be related to the mad butterfly and Vita Brand.

What this seemingly innocent and harmless little black cat is saying is anything but simple.

This journey was by no means "safe and comfortable" as it claimed.

Xue Ming understood the logic and continued: "You want to build the railway to a farther place."
To be continued...
