He Ao walked behind the door and looked at the inlaid countdown after entering the door.
The minute hand stays at '4', which means there are still twenty minutes left?
It took him almost ten minutes to rummage through things just now. In other words, the time it took to walk through the 'tunnel' this time was thirty minutes?
At this time, He Ao noticed that the compartment door and the door frame were too tight, and there was almost no door gap.
It's like, stuck together.
He thought for a moment, put his hand on the door handle, twisted it, and pulled inward.
There was no movement from the entire door, neither the sound of the lock bolt being turned open nor the sound of the door leaf opening.
Heao was like pulling a door handle embedded in the wall.
He slowly increased his strength, and the physical quality of this puppet clone, which was as high as 590, was revealed at this moment, and clumps of muscles like horned dragons bulged along the arms.
The entire compartment door and the partition wall connecting the door vibrated slightly.
Immediately afterwards, the entire door began to bend, stretching like a muscle.
It seems that what Hoora has is not a door made of steel, but an inner wall made of flesh and blood.
As the cubicle door was pulled by He Ao, the distortion became more and more severe, and a twisting and wriggling sound sounded from above He Ao's head.
The car roof covering He Ao's head began to gradually shrink, and the floor beneath his feet began to ripple and seemed to slowly crack.
Terrifying and shuddering breaths came from all directions, and it seemed that in the next second, this compartment would turn into a twisted and crazy monster, swallowing up He Ao and tearing it apart.
The familiar feeling of B-level oppression.
As someone who has killed two B-levels in the dungeon world, He Ao already has a good understanding of the combat effectiveness of B-levels.
Although both times were helped by friends, without He Ao, friends would not have helped. Face is also a kind of strength.
However, in the main world, it is not easy for He Ao to ask his friends for help.
If the train really attacks him with all its strength, then this puppet clone will definitely die.
However, even so, his movements did not stop.
Vaguely, the entire partition wall had been pulled by him until it was about to tear. Vaguely, He Ao could already see the twisted shadow of the corridor.
His physical strength was also being pulled against the partition wall and was close to being exhausted.
With just a little more force, he could tear open the entire partition wall and enter the corridor.
At this moment, the compartment he was in had almost completely lost its shape. All the walls were squirming and twisting, constantly approaching He Ao, trying to swallow He Ao completely.
At the moment when these twisted walls were about to touch He Ao.
boom--
He Ao let go of his hand.
The entire wall rebounded, as if the rewind button had been pressed, and everything in the room quickly regressed. Almost in an instant, the entire compartment returned to its original appearance.
Tick tock—tick tock—
The clock embedded in the cubicle door in front of He Ao was 'moving' as usual.
He turned around, and the pajamas in the closet still retained the folds he had just flipped.
Nothing seemed to have ever happened, and the 'crisis' just now seemed to be He Ao's hallucination.
Sure enough, this train will only act according to the rules.
All extraordinary items have their own set of rules. Only by meeting the corresponding rules can the power of extraordinary items be used.
For example, the Miracle Wand's B-level miracle requires Heao to kill six C-level miracles to meet certain ritual rules.
From the moment he got on board, Heao realized that the Venola operated according to certain rules.
The flight attendants who are waiting for passengers to get on the bus will assign passengers to compartments when they get on the bus.
When passing through the 'tunnel' all passengers are asked to enter a compartment similar to a safe house.
And what he just tried out is that once you enter the 'tunnel' and the compartment door is closed, you cannot open it again. You may have to wait until you leave the tunnel before you can open it again.
These are detailed ‘rules’.
If you abide by these rules, you will not be attacked by the train and can survive in the train to a certain extent.
He Ao was just testing the bottom line of these 'rules' and seeing how far he could break the rules with his full strength.
Complying with the rules does not mean that you will be able to survive on the train. It is impossible for He Ao to trust an extraordinary item that may be filled with crazy pollution.
Maybe the final rule is 'everyone must die'.
He Ao sat back on the bed and rested for a while, waiting for his strength to slowly recover.
When there were only ten minutes left in the countdown, he walked to the door and put his hand on the door handle.
In an instant, the whole compartment became restless again.
This time, He Ao did not pull it full, but put it back halfway, and the restless compartment quickly returned to its original state.
And the moment the compartment returned to its original state, He Ao's hand holding the door handle tightened again.
The entire carriage seemed to freeze for a brief moment, and then quickly began to surge.
Then he pulled it halfway and released it again.
——
When the puppet clone was doing a 'reaction speed' test on the train in the Venola, He Ao's original body pushed his little cold noodles out to the stall again.
Although he is now the deputy director of the overseas department of the research institute and ranks among the top C-level experts in the world, he is still very happy to go out and sell cold noodles once in a while.
You can make some money and calm down at the same time.
After Grandpa Fang was hospitalized, he had no noodles to use and never left the stall. Today he took the time to go to the market and bought some better noodles and processed them himself.
"Brother, we thought you went back to your hometown to get married. We haven't seen you out of the stall for a week. We are so hungry."
A few minutes after he set up the stall, several girls came over. They seemed to have just gotten off work and ordered a few cold noodles to eat here.
People come and go.
Not long after, an acquaintance appeared in front of He Ao, "A large portion of sweet and sour cold noodles."
It was Zhang Anxia.
Zhang Anxia is the person in charge of the Xidu Research Institute and has eaten He Ao's cold noodles once before.
At this time, there was a wave of people passing by, and there was no one around. Zhang Anxia was lying on the transparent cabinet, looking at He Ao with a smile, "You kid, you have only been here for a while, and you are already stronger than me. I still have to call you He Bu.
A new generation replaces the old..."
"Okay, Lao Zhang, stop pretending to me here."
He Ao quickly mixed noodles. With his current authority, he could see Zhang Anxia's information.
Although Lao Zhang is stuck at D level, he is very strong. He is an old man from the institute, and he had previously obtained a C level secret medicine with subsequent talent sequence in the ruins. The only difference was the timing.
"Look what you said, even though I've been promoted now, I'm still not as good as you. Add more sugar. I prefer sweet things."
Zhang Anxia smiled.
Then he raised his head and looked around, seeing the quiet streets, bright lights, and people talking and laughing, "You have a nice place, hidden away from the city."
"Just to make a little money," He Ao put the cold noodles into a paper bowl, "You must have been hanging around here for a few days, otherwise I wouldn't be so nice and would just meet you."
"After you come back from overseas, I will subconsciously come over to hang out," Zhang Anxia said with a smile, "You are really good at it. After eating it once, I scratched my heart and liver. I would believe you if you said there were contaminants in it.
I can’t wait to come every day.”
"Only once or twice. No matter how delicious the food is, you can't eat it often."
He Ao smiled, packed the cold noodles and put them on the counter.
At this time, his phone vibrated, and it was a message from Yang De.
Yang De: [Are you still in Dongdu?]
He Ao: [Back to Xidu.]
Yang De: [Okay, I'll ask for your address so that we can assign tasks then.]
He Ao: [Has the plan been made?]
Yang De: [Not yet, we are going to conduct a pre-interception overseas first to test the reaction of the Venola, and then proceed with the detailed plan and keep in touch.]
He Ao: [Okay]
He Ao put down his cell phone and Zhang Anxia waved goodbye to him.
There are more people coming and going from get off work.
——
The countdown clock finally reached zero.
He Ao heard a crisp 'click' sound.
It sounded like the door lock was being unlocked.
He turned the door handle and pulled it gently, and bright sunlight filtered through the corridor and illuminated the compartment.
For some reason, He Ao felt that the moment he opened the door, the whole compartment seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
It seems that he had a lot of fun playing with this car. He can continue playing with it when he enters the tunnel later.
At this moment, the train is still on the sea, and here is a magnificent sea cliff.
Taking advantage of the bright sunlight, the train passed by the sea under the cliff. Through the windows in the corridor, He Ao could vaguely see the surprised expressions of the people on the cruise ship in the distance.
These people were lying on the railings watching this beautiful and mysterious scene.
He Ao could even hear their cheers.
At this moment, he heard another slight 'click' sound.
To his right, the door of cubicle No. 2 was slowly opened.
He turned his head, and the first thing he saw was a bosom as majestic as the waves, and a few strands of bright blond hair falling on his chest.
Immediately afterwards, a plump blonde woman wearing a white slim-fitting knitted sweater skirt and holding white round-rimmed glasses appeared in He Ao's field of vision.
She looked at He Ao, a little confused, and slowly put the white round-framed glasses on her face.
Then, as soon as her vision became clear, she subconsciously held on to the wall and took half a step back, half of her body retracting into the cubicle.
He Ao:
Am I so scary?
"Hello?"
This woman seemed to be from the Tia Empire. He Ao tried to ask softly in Tia language.
He himself could not speak the Asian imperial language, but Hu Wen did, and he received some of Hu Wen's fragmented memories.
"Hello."
As if she heard He Ao speaking a familiar language, the woman glanced at He Ao and seemed not to be so scared anymore, and answered cautiously.
"How did you get in the car?" He Ao tried his best to keep his tone calm. The other person seemed to be frightened in the car, "I came from Alanonoti Island."
"I was traveling in the Nole Republic," the woman whispered, "this car stopped in front of me, and I didn't know why, but I got on it."
Then she seemed to remember something and looked around in horror, "This car... seems to be alive..."
Yes, it is alive. I was playing a game with it just now.
Isn’t it reasonable that a train is alive? It can move, and moving objects are simply called animals.
However, it seemed that the other party was very frightened. He Ao did not provoke her further, but asked softly, "Are you from the Tia Empire?"
"Um···"
The woman nodded slightly and was about to say something. At this moment, a slight sound of footsteps sounded from behind He Ao.
He Ao turned his head and looked behind him.
At some point, the train stopped at a beach.
"anyone there?"
Tia Empire language.
A girl with a rounded straw hat, fair face, slender figure, and a floral skirt, about 1.6 meters tall, got on the train from the back of the carriage, "Is this some kind of tourist attraction? It's still an abandoned train from the last century.
?”
The latter sentence is in fluent Chinese dialect.
Judging by her appearance, she seems to be from China.
Click——
With a crisp sound, the car door behind the girl slammed shut.
At this moment, a figure passed in front of He Ao and the blond woman. He was very fast and walked up to the girl in a very short time. He said in fluent Chinese dialect,
"Hello, welcome to the Venola, we will take you to visit the beautiful mountains and seas of the world. It is our honor to serve you."
The flight attendant smiled and handed the girl a key card, "Your compartment is compartment four."
The girl looked at the handsome flight attendant with a gentle smile in front of her, then at the closed door behind her, and swallowed, "Um, can I get off?"
The flight attendant did not speak, but continued to smile and maintain the posture of handing out the door card, like a stiff puppet.
The train started slowly, and the scene outside the window began to recede rapidly.
The girl quickly took out her cell phone, unlocked it two or three times, and finally unlocked it tremblingly.
Then she entered the dialing interface and quickly dialed a number.
With a short beep sound, the phone interface exited.
She tried several more times, but with the same result. She looked at the signal interface in the upper right corner, and now it showed '×'.
There is no signal in this car.
She turned her head and looked behind her. In the small window of the car door, the beautiful scenery was retreating rapidly, but she was no longer in the mood to enjoy the beautiful scenery.
Then she looked around, her eyes scanning the restaurant car and He Ao and the blond woman standing in the corridor.
She realized that she was involved in some unknown danger. She suppressed the fear in her heart, and after measuring the size difference between herself and the flight attendant, she took the door card handed over by the flight attendant with some trembling.
"I wish you a pleasant journey, the Venola will bring you an unforgettable journey."
The flight attendant smiled softly.
The girl nodded tremblingly, feeling that she would never forget it for the rest of her life.
She glanced at the flight attendant, then at He Ao in the corridor, then almost jogged up to He Ao and asked quickly,
"Brother, are you also from China? Are you also a 'passenger' in this car?"
The girl's voice is very sweet, with a little magnetism, and her voice has a slight tremor, which makes people want to feel protective.
"Relax, I came in in almost the same state as you," He Ao replied in Chinese dialect, "I was traveling in Arano, and then I accidentally got into this car."
"Alano, I want to go there too. It is said that the sunrise on Noti Island is beautiful, but I heard it is too chaotic."
Talking about the familiar content, the girl's nervousness seemed to ease a little. She glanced around and whispered, "Brother, can I get off this car?"
When the girl asked this, He Ao suddenly realized that when the vehicle stopped just now, he had hardly noticed it and had no intention of getting out of the car.
Although he didn't want to get out of the car, it didn't mean that others didn't. For example, the blond woman in front of him seemed to be frightened and she probably wanted to get out of the car.
But she didn't seem to have any reaction.
He Ao turned his head, looked at the blond woman, and asked in Tiya, "Why didn't you get out of the car just now?"
Hearing He Ao's question, the woman seemed to have woken up from a big dream. She hurriedly rushed to the back of the car, held on to the partition wall of the car, and looked at the closed car door and the scene of the door window flying back, falling into a kind of sluggishness.
After about ten seconds, she turned around tremblingly and looked at He Ao, "I forgot..."
Her words also fell into the ears of the girl in front of He Ao.
The girl seemed to understand Tia Empire language, but not much. She looked at He Ao and asked with some worry, "Brother, when the sister said 'forgot', did she forget to get off the car?"
He Ao nodded slightly.
The girl in front of him was actually much calmer than Heao imagined.
When ordinary people encounter this kind of thing, they would cry and want to get out of the car, and would not accept the door card in the hand of the flight attendant.
The girl calmly accepted the key card and immediately walked up to Er Heao, who had a distinctly Chinese-earth appearance.
Obviously, she knows that it is useless to cry and cry hysterically now. The first thing is to find a reliable 'ally' who can ask for information.
‘Fellow’ He Ao is obviously her chosen ally.
She speaks sweetly and looks very well-behaved, making it difficult for men to feel hostile.
Very good at using one's own advantages.
A very smart little girl.
The blond woman is not stupid. She has adjusted her emotions now, and judging from the previous conversation, she also discovered that the car is 'alive'.
It seems that the selection of passengers on the Venola is not random, but has its own internal criteria.
With so many chosen to meet special criteria, what is this car trying to do?
"Brother, what should we do next?"
The girl's eyes widened and she looked at He Ao with some confusion, "Brother, you still don't know my name? My name is Lin Chichi."
"My name is Hao Yi,"
He Ao made up a name casually and looked out the window at the flowing scenery, "See if you can get off at the next stop. The first thing you need to remember in the car is to abide by the rules."
"Hao Yi, my brother's name is really nice."
Lin Chichi nodded obediently and began to chew on what He Ao had just said, "Follow the rules..."
The scenery outside the window is still beautiful, but the people inside the window are no longer tourists who can freely enjoy the scenery.
"Well, what you just said, is there anything we need to pay attention to? Can you tell me about it too?"
At this moment, the blond woman had carefully walked to He Ao, glanced at Lin Chichi in front of He Ao, and asked carefully.
She seemed to have discovered what He Ao was warning Lin Chi Chi.
"It's not a complicated matter..."
Heao simply told the blond woman in Tia language about obeying the rules, and then prepared to ask the blond woman if she had discovered anything before.
At this moment, Lin Chichi asked softly, "Brother, what exactly does it mean to abide by the rules?"
At this moment, a piercing alarm sounded suddenly.
