In the early morning dusk, the steel creation emerged from behind the horizon.
The train crossed the plains and climbed over the mountains along the railway track, like a giant snake moving forward on the vast land, admiring the grandeur of the world, dragging behind it the gradually dissipating smoke, like a flag blending into the sky.
After a night of driving, the passengers in the carriage were already feeling exhausted. Everyone was leaning on each other, sleeping in various postures, and the carriage was shaking slightly, like a huge cradle, soothing the restless hearts of the travelers.
Bologg silently crossed the crowded carriages, pushed open the doors one after another, and walked between the carriages. Bologg would stop for a moment, and the cool wind would blow on his face, blowing away the odor coming from the carriage, bringing him with it.
A sense of comfort that penetrates the heart.
Coming to the last carriage of the train, this carriage looks like the other carriages, but its door is locked. In this train, only a few people have the key to open the door, and Boluogo is
One.
After twisting the door lock, Boluogo opened the car door in the strong wind and returned to the exclusive carriage of the field department.
Compared with the riding conditions of ordinary passengers, the exclusive carriages of the Field Service Department are luxurious. There are no crowded passengers or densely packed seats.
The interior of the exclusive carriage is divided into several pieces. There is a small living room near the door, and there are single rooms lined up inside. Although it is narrow, in this environment, there is nothing to be picky about, and it is more to the point.
The area behind is a small warehouse for storing alchemy weapons.
All members of the special operations team are on this train, in this carriage.
Since boarding the train yesterday afternoon, this giant steel snake has been moving forward non-stop. Now they have left Oath City Opos and are marching towards the Free Port.
The carriage remained quiet, and Boluogo seemed to be the first one to wake up, but he felt that there were others who had woken up, such as Lebius, but everyone was hiding in their own small rooms, enjoying the last moments before the storm.
peaceful.
Boluogo found a seat and sat down. In this closed space, he really had nothing to do. He picked up the document and once again read the report that he had read countless times yesterday.
"Sorry, this is an emergency operation and we don't have much time to prepare."
After meeting Lebius at the train station yesterday, Lebius's first words were to apologize.
Everyone said it was nothing. The work of the field department was like this. One second, they were sleeping at home, and the next second they were called up to work. This time, Lebius at least gave a few people time to pack their luggage.
The team members gathered together in the train station, with large and small bags piled together, like a small tourist group.
Boluogo didn't bring many things, only a small change of clothes, which could be packed in a handbag. Before leaving the Bureau of Order, the Logistics Department sent people, and they spent a lot of effort to put the Phantom Dagger in.
I found it, and this small dagger only needs one pocket to hold it.
Palmer had a little more luggage. Apart from clothes, it was just some things for entertainment. No one knew how long this mission would last, and Palmer didn't want to lie in bed in a daze.
Others don't bring many things. Everyone is familiar with the style of the field department, and they will give them the most comprehensive support.
Palmer looked up at this huge train station. It was like a heart made of steel, and the extending rails were blood vessels. As the heart squeezed, it transported human blood to distant places.
"Are we taking a train to our destination?"
Palmer has not been on a train for many years, and his range of activities is usually limited to Opus. Even if he travels far, there is always a winding door.
Regardless of the unknown mission ahead, Palmer has begun to regard the trip as a tourist. He actually stuffed a swimsuit in his luggage.
Jeffrey pulled the suitcase and replied casually, "Yes."
"It seems like this mission is really important."
Bologo noticed the difference between Lebius and the past. This time Lebius did not use a cane, and the physical deformities seemed to have completely disappeared.
"It is indeed important. This seems to be the first time we have left Opos since the Secret War."
While Jeffrey was talking, he glanced at Lebius and joked, "Look, he can't even use a crutch anymore."
Lebius remained silent. For this operation, he installed auxiliary braces on his legs so that he could walk like a normal person. Although he was unable to make strenuous movements, it was enough to handle normal actions.
Arriving at the platform, many passengers were already waiting here.
Boluogo asked warily, "Are we just going to mix with ordinary passengers?"
From the moment he accepted the mission, it meant that he had to face endless unknown dangers. Unlike Palmer's optimistic travel mentality, Boluogo remained alert at all times, like a tiger walking through the dense forest.
The train station is densely populated. Once an extraordinary conflict occurs, it will inevitably cause mass deaths of ordinary people. Boluogo can restrain his own power, but the enemy most likely will not, and may even take advantage of this to threaten his own side.
Bologg felt even worse when he got on the train. At high speed, the train could be regarded as a narrow and closed space. Once a conflict started, most of the train would derail and turn into a burning fireball.
"Don't worry, we won't have any surprises before arriving at the free port."
Lebius noticed the strangeness of Boluogo and comforted him, "The confidentiality level of this operation is very high."
“Before arriving, just treat it as a trip.”
Jeffrey patted his shoulder. Boluogo was a dedicated person, but sometimes he was too dedicated and kept tense all the time, making people breathless.
…
Boluogo put down the report. He felt that the atmosphere in the carriage was a bit stuffy. He walked towards the end and passed through the small doors. The gentle breathing came from behind the doors, which sounded so reassuring.
Pushing open the last door, Boluogo appeared at the very end of the train, which was surrounded by railings for passengers to stand and enjoy the view.
Boluogo was lying on the railing, and the surrounding scenery continued to recede from him, forming a landscape painting in front of his eyes.
After a period of reading and discussions among team members, Bologo had a general understanding of the operation.
Lebius announced all the inside information to the team members. The tenth team discovered a trading item called the Original Object in Iris Town. This trading item was extremely important, which made the leader of the tenth group make a decision.
The whole team made the decision to escort him back to the Order Bureau urgently.
Then, as Bologo knew, the tenth group was attacked, and half of the group members were missing, along with their group leader.
What shocked Bologo was that, except for the attack on the tenth group, all the strongholds of the Bureau of Order in the Hazama Kingdom were subsequently raided by unknown forces, and each stronghold had its own victory or defeat.
"The other party is not trying to eliminate our power in the narrow countries," Lebius judged. "The other party's purpose is very clear, just to destroy the Winding Path Gate."
The winding gates in each stronghold were damaged, cutting off their connection with the transfer station, making it impossible for the Order Bureau to quickly dispatch personnel to the Hazama countries.
Lebius deduced that after the tenth group was attacked, they should have protected the original things during the attack. The enemy is still pursuing them. In order to prevent the original things from escaping from the Hazama Kingdom, they blocked them in this way.
Received reinforcements from the Order Bureau.
It now seems that Group 10 and the Original Thing are safe, but after emerging from the crisis, they did not take the initiative to contact the Bureau of Order.
No one knows exactly what happened.
Just when Lebius was having a headache, Bologg came with Belphegor's brand and information about the Zongge Orchestra. A temporary action was formulated, and then... started.
Everything is so clever, as if it is a well-designed conspiracy and a long-premeditated revenge.
