On October 26, on a train from the Core City to Bruno City, Chiba sat in an aisle seat in the last carriage of the train.
Chiba looked impatiently at the rapidly retreating scenery outside the window, feeling very irritable. There had never been a moment like today when she felt the train was as slow as a turtle crawling.
She was going to confront Ava today and solve Hesta's problem.
"Uh... excuse me." The small woman sitting next to Chiba suddenly touched her arm lightly.
Chiba looked sideways. She was a small woman, wearing a women's suit, with short dark brown shoulder-length hair with a little fluffy curls. She had a smile on her face, "Can you please stop shaking your legs?"
Chiba came to his senses and stopped, "I'm sorry."
"It's okay," the man nodded understandingly, "Everyone gets upset sometimes."
Chiba crossed her arms and closed her eyes, while the woman next to her continued to read the newspaper.
Time passed by minute by second, and the train soon departed from "Tube" station, and the next stop was "Bruno City".
The closer she gets to her destination, the harder it is for Chiba to calm down. When she thinks of Ava, she inevitably thinks back to her teenage years and Anna. All the memories related to it are like a pile of messy debris. They used to be piled up in the corner and collected dust. Now when they are suddenly touched, they start to fall dust in waves, which makes people itchy and annoying.
Ten minutes later, Chiba heard a metal collision, and soon she felt that the car seemed to be slowing down.
"Don't move!"
"Everyone put your hands up!"
"lift it up!"
Such an order suddenly came from the connection port in front of the carriage. Chiba opened his eyes and looked sideways ahead - there were several shadows walking back and forth in the swaying carriage aisle in front.
The robbers were in groups of three, with the two in front holding guns and shouting, and the one in the middle holding a large cotton bag in charge of collecting money and things. After taking control of the car in front, three of them walked towards the car where Chiba was.
"Give me all your valuables! Wallets, rings, necklaces—"
Chiba withdrew his gaze and leaned back on the chair again.
This sudden change completely interrupted her thoughts, making all the previous irritability and uneasiness become worth mentioning in an instant-these robbers used some method to open the connection port of the car in front, causing Chiba to be in this section. The car fell off the moving train along with the one in front of it.
Okay, great.
Now I really don’t know when I can get to Bruno City.
Chiba calmly patted the dust on his trouser legs.
Neither early nor late, it happened to be this train, it happened to be this carriage, and at the moment when she was worried about a lot of troubles, several robbers who didn't look very smart came to her door.
She began to move her wrists and ankles—a basic warm-up still needed to be done.
"Don't move yet." The woman sitting next to Qianye said suddenly.
Chiba glanced at her sideways, "What?"
"The carriage hasn't stopped yet. It's too dangerous to jump out now... not to mention they still have guns in their hands."
"You misunderstood," Qianye said softly, "I didn't intend to-"
Before she finished speaking, another loud voice suddenly came from directly in front of her: "What are you hiding? Hand it over!"
One of the robbers suddenly rushed towards the middle-aged couple sitting directly opposite Chiba. The husband seemed to be secretly taking off the watch on his wrist and hiding it, but was discovered by the sharp-eyed robber. At this moment, all the passengers were hiding in their seats. After a brief scream, people looked at the gangsters rushing towards the middle of the carriage in silence.
The gangster slapped the man, cursed and began to take off his clothes to check if he had any other valuables hidden.
Qianye looked at everything in front of him coldly, and stretched out a foot at the right time. After a moment, he heard a cry of surprise, and the gangster fell backwards, falling directly on his back into the arms of the passenger behind him.
The cotton bag that was originally in the hands of the robber also fell to the ground, and the rings and earrings inside were scattered everywhere.
The young man holding the robbers was so frightened that he turned pale. His eyes were always fixed on the guns in the hands of the robbers, "...right...I'm sorry?"
The fallen robber quickly got up and yelled, "Who tripped me!"
"I."
Chiba raised his hand, answering the teacher's question like a primary school student.
Seeing that the other party was a woman, the sullen look on the robber's face faded halfway. He regained his footing, looked at Qianye's lower body, and suddenly laughed, "My sister has very long legs."
The word "sister" fell into Qianye's ears, causing her left eyebrow to raise involuntarily.
Seeing Qianye look away, the robber smiled heartily. He leaned over to pick up the bag on the ground and walked to Qianye.
"Move your butt, I just dropped my stuff on your seat."
Qianye shrugged and was about to stand up and get out of the way, but the robber pressed his hand on the back of Qianye's chair. He leaned down and said, "You don't have to get up. Just sit and spread your legs further."
Seeing this situation, the woman sitting next to Chiba quietly put her hand into the travel bag she carried: the situation has become so serious that she can no longer sit still and wait for the opportunity...
However, what happened next was a bit unbelievable. The woman only felt an afterimage floating in front of her eyes, and then heard the sound of bones breaking.
No one saw clearly what was happening in front of them. When everyone reacted, Chiba's upper body hanging upside down had already drawn a precise arc in the narrow train aisle. Her legs were like a pair of pliers, twisting directly. Break the robber's neck.
The robber then tumbled in the air, then fell heavily to the ground.
"What disgusting thing-"
Qianye landed lightly. She glanced coldly at the robber who was motionless at the moment. She stepped on the bare back of the man's head with her right foot mercilessly, forcing half of his face into the wooden floor of the train carriage.
In her peripheral vision, Chiba saw that the two robbers standing at the junction of the carriages had raised their guns towards her. She quickly moved forward, and with the momentum of her flight, she held the seat on one side with one hand and let herself His body is like a whip swung out——
"boom!"
"boom!"
Two gunshots were fired, and blood spattered on the train timetable behind the two gangsters.
The bullets ended the gangster's life before Chiba's flying kick, with a head-on shot without any delay.
Chiba turned over and fell back to the ground. She turned around in disappointment and saw that the small woman who had been sitting next to her had stood up. She held a gun in one hand and showed her police officer ID card in the other hand.
"Everyone stay still! Police!"
…
In less than five minutes, three of the six armed robbers were dead and three were captured alive.
About an hour later, local police arrived from Tube and took over the case. They evacuated all the passengers, leaving only Chiba and the woman who had previously drawn the gun to describe the case to the local police.
Chiba watched the whole process with no interest - as a mercury needle who knows and abides by the law, this is the obligation she should fulfill at this moment.
After the dictation ended, Chiba finally spoke and called out to the police officer who came to investigate.
"Give me a car," she said, showing her ID. "I need it now."
