The rails and steel wheels shook the carriage slightly.
More than an hour had passed since Jiang Xueming left the station.
He had no idea how far the ride had gone or what was waiting for him at his destination.
But he was ready to leave the last few words in his will.
Turn to the passenger guide directory on the title page——
——The sudden light source drew his attention away.
He looked out the window. The train had just rushed out of the narrow tunnel. The surrounding landscape became empty and distant. Wherever he could see, there were red lava lakes and dangerous mountains and rocks far away beyond the lakes.
Eight huge steel-frame bridges support dozens of railways. Red and green signal lights stand on the signal lights and switchboards between each railway track.
Jiang Xueming could vaguely see that on the railway track not far away, other trains would pass every few minutes.
He also saw something flashing past in a darker place where the red warning light was on.
Unable to suppress his inner curiosity, he leaned half of his body out of the car window, trying to see clearly the railway that was emitting an alarm light source in the dark cave.
Under the orange light of the magma lake, the trackbed of the railway had been destroyed. The rotten steel bars fell into the lake and immediately melted into molten iron.
Safety warnings and construction maintenance signs were erected under the red light signs.
Peering further inside, he could vaguely make out the dark shadows on the road to the cave.
Those shadows don't look like humans, let alone construction equipment.
In the chaotic light and shadow, there seemed to be many monsters hidden in the cave.
The humming sound of their flapping wings spreads far and wide, even though they are hundreds of meters apart. Xueming can still hear the maddening noise, which makes people uneasy.
Right now, right now.
A hand slammed on Jiang Xueming's shoulder and pulled him back from the window to the car.
"Brother! What are you looking at!"
Mr. Xueming was very frightened, not because he was frightened by the unknown creatures in the cave. But just now half of his body was outside the window...
There was a sudden slap on the shoulder, almost knocking Xueming's soul out.
He was savagely pulled back to his seat by a huge force, and then he saw this uninvited passenger. He also kept looking outside, leaning towards the window, and heard the guy's noisy voice.
"What is this? So beautiful? Brother, what were you looking at just now? Which direction?"
Seeing that the passenger had almost climbed to the roof of the car, he was still complaining.
"Where are you? Hey brother! Why don't you speak?"
Jiang Xueming finally came to his senses and explained: "Oh! I saw a cave with a red alarm light on, and it was undergoing maintenance. But there seemed to be a monster in the hole..."
"Hi! I thought it was some strange thing." The passenger outside the car window was so agile that he got back in the blink of an eye and stood on the aisle to dust off the dirt and soot.
Only then did Mr. Xueming see the appearance of this traveler clearly.
He was a tall young man, nearly 1.9 meters tall, with broad shoulders and thick knuckles.
Like Xueming, the man wore the standard long coat issued by the customer service department.
The pink shirt and strong chest muscles can be seen from the collar of the long coat. The muscles in the thighs and calves bulge, filling up the jeans. The gold zippers on the big leather boots are very eye-catching.
The man took off his cowboy hat, and under the illumination of the lava lake and the cold light of the carriage, his facial features looked very young.
He looked to be only 18 or 19 years old, with no beard and thick eyebrows.
His nose is high and his lips are thick and fleshy. The black eye occupies one-half of the eye, and the look is full of energy. The brown messy hair covered her ears and the center of her eyebrows, and she brushed it back with her hands, making her look fresh and neat.
After the passenger returned to the carriage, he threw a large backpack next to Xueming's seat and sat across from him carelessly.
The seating space originally arranged for guests was quite ample. But this huge backpack almost blocked the way out, and he had no intention of moving away - it seemed like this reckless young man had given Jiang Xueming a disincentive.
"Can you collect your things?" Jiang Xueming frowned. He was pushed by this guy outside the car window just now, and now the way out of the seat is blocked.
"Oh! Sorry." The young man stood up immediately and threw his backpack to the seat next to him.
Jiang Xueming thought to himself - this guy doesn't look very smart...
When the young man returned to the seat across from Mr. Xueming, he took out the bus information card and ticket from his jacket pocket, and said seriously to Xueming, "Hey, brother, BOSS arranged for me to follow you, and he asked me to You go to the same place."
Jiang Xueming was silent, looking at the reckless boy in front of him suspiciously.
The young man hunched over, supported his chin with both hands, and leaned towards Jiang Xueming - and then said: "My surname is Bu, and my name is Bu Liuxing. Just call me A Xing, what should I call you?"
"Jiang Xueming."
"Hey? Okay! What a good name!" A Xing clapped his hands and smiled: "Wu Gou Shuang is as bright as a shooting star. I think you look very reliable. When we arrived at the destination, the mission assigned by the BOSS That's not just killing people at random."
"Hello, Axing."
"Hey! How about you, A Ming!"
Just like that, being brainless and unhappy are just a hello.
After Bu Liuxing sat down, he never took any time off.
This young man fully explained to Mr. Xueming what it means to be a top talker.
"I'm a native of HK, born under the zodiac sign of Leo! A Ming, what's your zodiac sign?
I see that you don't like to talk, so you must be a Cancer. Cancer people are boring.
There are many good-looking ladies at the station. I asked for some phone numbers. Do you want them? It's our first time meeting, and I don't have any gifts to bring you.
Every passenger at this station has a story. Why are you here, A Ming? Can you tell me your story? Make me happy?
If you don’t want to say it, forget it...Why are you staring at me so fiercely..."
Mr. Xueming's anger level increased visibly. He secretly wondered if he had made the cat angry when they first met.
Otherwise, why would BOSS arrange for such a guy to accompany him? It is simply the ultimate mental torture.
He covered his forehead and reluctantly said, "No, I'm not angry."
"Just don't be angry." Bu Liuxing suddenly became energetic and talked about the accident on the railway track just now: "Hey, A Ming, like you, it's my first time to take a train at this station. There are many things I don't understand. We have to help each other and remind each other.”
Jiang Xueming: "Well, you are right."
Axing continued to explain: "The shadow you saw on the accident section in the cave just now was not a monster, it was the maintenance staff of Jiujie Station at work."
"Inspector?"
"Yes, it's the first time I've seen those things." Ah Xing opened the ride log, snatched the diary from Mr. Xueming's hand, and turned to the same page, "Look, it's written in the directory of the ride log! The current railway maintenance unit at the station is Shayang Type III.”
Yarn sheep were originally strange creatures in the underground world, and they can be found in blocks 47 to 88.
They look like dragonflies, hence the name Shayang.
The body length of the adult worm is about 160 to 200 centimeters, and the female is larger than the male.
One hundred and forty years ago, individuals who could communicate with humans appeared in the Shayang population and learned human language. The scientific research station concluded that the mutation occurred because Shayang itself had been in contact with the people of the astral realm for a long time and acquired mysterious knowledge of the astral realm.
Before long, the bugs became the station's new employees.
They can carry engineering materials several times their own weight across suspension bridges and have the ability to reverse in the air. In modern society, the flight maneuvers of helicopters may not be able to keep up with these talented giant insects.
After three generations of evolution, the scientific research station has tailored matching engineering protective gear and communication equipment for Shayang.
There are also many uncivilized Shayang individuals in unknown areas, and they are also an important criterion for detecting madness index and spiritual disasters.
Ah Xing's eyebrows were flying and he spoke plausibly: "How is it? Amazing, right? When I saw this thing on the page, I thought, there must be oxygen-rich plots in the underground world, otherwise how could these bugs grow so big! And there must be more A well-fed biosphere…”
"Axing." Jiang Xueming quickly flipped through the manual without raising his head: "Tell me your story. I want to get to know you. Why did you come to this station?"
Bu Liuxing was stunned for a while: "You want to know me?"
"Yes." Mr. Xueming raised his head and sat upright: "We are going to the same place and doing the same thing. In this dangerous underground world, we have to depend on each other."
"We depend on each other for our lives..." Ah Xing finally became serious, put away his thoughts, and said seriously what was not serious at all, "I'm here to have fun."
Jiang Xueming didn't seem to understand.
Bu Liuxing repeated it again.
“I came here to have fun, but I felt that life was too boring and I needed to find some excitement.
My mother owns two pieces of land in the South District and the East District, and she can see Victoria Harbor across the sea. My life has been clearly arranged since childhood.
I have played all kinds of extreme sports. My parents want me to go back to England to study and live a good life, but I don’t want to study. "
Jiang Xueming asked again: "How did you get your ticket?"
Bu Liuxing replied: "I stole it. I wanted to go to prison to experience it. I remember that what I stole was a ticket, but the police officer insisted that it was banknotes. At that time, I felt something was wrong."
"You want to go to jail?" This is beyond Jiang Xueming's understanding and belongs to a blind spot of knowledge: "Why?"
Bu Liuxing lowered his head, and his expression became depressed: "I want to know what it's like in the cell. A friend told me...the rent is so expensive now, and it costs more than 3,000 yuan to live in a remote place, and it costs three thousand yuan to eat, fish, eggs and rice." Starting from ten yuan, plus fresh fruits, you can easily spend five to six thousand yuan a month. How can a newly graduated college student survive here? The way out for young people is to go to jail, with free food and accommodation, and they can go to bed on time, and they don’t have to Crowd the subway.”
"From what you said, you came to the station to experience life?" Jiang Xueming pursed his lips, feeling that the guy in front of him was very unreliable.
"I'm reliable." Bu Liuxing was anxious and wanted to prove his ability: "I'm very powerful. Look at my skills!"
Before he finished speaking, the reckless young man tried to get out of the window again.
Ah Xing stepped on the edge of the window, his whole body hanging outside, like an angry child, pouting to prove himself.
"Jiang Xueming! Did you see it? I'm not afraid!"
The strong wind outside the window blew Ah Xing's clothes, and underneath the abyss was a golden-red magma lake.
The train passed over the suspension bridge at high speed and crashed into the tunnel crossing.
At that moment, Jiang Xueming quickly pulled the daredevil back from the window.
There was just a short distance before Buliuxing would turn into meat on the rock wall at the entrance of the tunnel.
After the car entered the tunnel, the strong changes in temperature and air pressure inside and outside the car caused the entire car body to begin to shake.
Bu Liuxing was in shock. When he was pulled into the carriage, he only felt pain in his neck, as if a lion had bitten his throat and dragged him along. By the time he reacted, he had already fallen on the aisle.
Let’s go see Mr. Xueming again——
——He still had the same indifferent expression. The nails on his right hand were turned out, and there were bruises left when he tore clothes. He used nail clippers to repair them bit by bit.
Bu Liuxing touched his body, wiped the cold sweat from his head, and stayed dumbfounded for a long time before getting up.
"Oh!!! It's so exciting!" He returned to his position and returned to his energetic and fierce look, "Mr. Xueming! The first time I saw you! I knew you were a very reliable person!"
Jiang Xueming waved his hand as if to shoo away flies and said calmly: "Let me tell you why I came to this station. After all, we have to cooperate. I hope you can take this journey seriously."
Bu Liuxing: "Okay! I will listen carefully."
Immediately afterwards, Mr. Xueming truthfully informed the boy about his experience and his sister's condition.
At first, he just hoped that this unruly boy would become a little bit more serious. Enter working status.
Later, he said that he began to write a will. I looked at Bu Liuxing's demeanor and saw that something was wrong.
The big boy's nose was red and his eyes were watery, and he just cried.
"No..." Jiang Xueming didn't want this result: "Don't do this."
"I'm sorry, I'm just so sentimental." Bu Liuxing took out a tissue from his backpack to wipe his nose and replied, "I've been crying since I was a child. I can't help but cry too much."
By the time Mr. Xueming finished speaking, Bu Liuxing was already crying.
The boy was lying on the table, his head buried in his arms, and a whining sound came from the cuffs of his clothes.
Mr. Xueming explained everything clearly, and then asked: "So, do you understand?"
"I understand." Bu Liuxing gritted his teeth and raised his head, blowing his nose and clenching his fists for encouragement: "I will definitely save my sister from the disease! Don't worry!"
"That..." Mr. Xueming felt something was wrong, but couldn't say it. "That's my sister, not your sister."
"Ah! I feel like I am burning, and the feelings that have been dormant for a long time are about to emerge from my chest!" Bu Liuxing tightly grasped Mr. Xueming's hand: "There is no doubt that Mr. Jiang Xueming, just now, was in that tunnel Entrance, you saved my life.”
Ah Xing's scorching eyes were hard to look into, and he said with conviction.
"I remember every word you said to me. Our lives are like two parallel railroad tracks that finally intersect on this train. Let me understand - this is my mission. "
Jiang Xueming whispered softly: "It would be good for everyone if you watch less cartoons."
Bu Liuxing refused to give up: "I will always be by your side and share life and death with you. I will not leave you before repaying this kindness."
Jiang Xueming: "Okay...let's do it."
Bu Liuxing wiped away his tears and sat upright like Mr. Xueming, "Just like you want to know me, A Ming, I also want to know you better."
"Oh..." Mr. Xueming felt that his spirit was greatly shocked. Being with this kid was more terrifying than any weird scene he had ever seen. "Just ask."
Bu Liuxing followed suit and took out his diary and pen, preparing to take notes.
after a long time--
He seemed to not know what to ask.
It seems that everything that needs to be asked has been asked and everything that needs to be known is known.
——So he asked.
"What's your zodiac sign?"
