Although he really appreciated Moonlight's conjecture, Sean still shook his head slightly.
This conjecture is extremely bold, but there are several unreasonable aspects.
First of all, if you want to replace the carpet, you will definitely need the cooperation of the crew.
But according to Sean's observation, the state of the conductor and conductor was by no means staged.
This judgment comes from the reporter's eyesight and the intuition brought by the body's soul.
Secondly…
"We are Queen-level explorers." Sean reminded.
Moonlight seemed to understand something, smiled bitterly, and seemed to have temporarily given up on her previous conjecture——
After all, if you want to use the Explorer to disguise your crimes, ordinary people are more likely to choose the inexperienced Jack class.
When encountering a combination of three Queen-level players, this possibility is extremely slim.
A cunning fox may choose to deceive the meat from the crow's mouth, but if it encounters a pride of lions...
They are more likely to stay away.
"It's a pity, Soloist." Sean nodded encouragingly, "I like your conjecture just now, it is based on reality and dares to imagine.
"However, it seems that we still cannot rule out that this is a mysterious incident."
After a round of discussion, the investigation returned to its starting point.
The team agreed that they would next try to find witnesses to the disappearance.
In order not to cause panic, the job of questioning passengers along the train was left to Jerry and two other conductors.
When they eliminated all the passengers in the high-class carriages and came to the ordinary carriages to start asking questions, the Northland Express came to a slow stop.
The blizzard was still falling outside the window, and almost all that could be seen was the large falling snowflakes.
In order to avoid being buried by avalanches caused by heavy snowfall, the Northland Express, a steel behemoth, stopped in front of the tunnel.
The bright headlights illuminate the dark tunnel, making people wonder where the tunnel leads.
Fortunately, this long-bodied beast crouching in the snowy night has enough coal in its power core to provide enough heat and electricity for the entire train...
However, for some reason, the advanced compartments closer to the front of the train have sufficient heating, and passengers can even take off their coats.
On the other side separated by two dining cars, in the ordinary carriage, the closer to the rear, the heavier the cold air intrudes from the window.
Even when people are sitting in the train, they have to wrap up their coats tightly.
During this helpless and annoying wait, the conductor found a passenger in the eighth carriage who looked a little strange.
The passenger was politely invited by the conductor to the connecting corridor outside the two dining cars - this place was guarded by the conductor and was not allowed to enter. The door leading to the ordinary dining car was also blocked by a cloth, temporarily serving as a case handling office for the explorers.
After entering this corridor, the passenger saw four masks looking at him...
Four explorers!
He first felt a panic, and then suddenly realized that the four people in front of him were trying to solve the strange situation he saw, and he couldn't help but feel a desire to talk...
"Don't panic." Sean's voice was calm. "The conductor told me that you were here before..." Sean pointed to the ground, "I saw some strange sights."
The man is thin and has brown hair. His plaid suit is a bit worn.
After seeing the strange scene, he adhered to the concept of keeping quiet and did not tell anyone. He just let the thrilling scene torture his mind...
Unexpectedly, he could confide in a professional at this moment. He nodded repeatedly and said in a trembling voice: "I saw the dining car go dark, and when it lit up again, the people in the car disappeared!"
Sean frowned: "Don't be impatient, tell me slowly - how did you see it, what did you see..."
The man swallowed his saliva and began to recall everything in detail.
"About half an hour ago, I ate at the dining car..." He pointed to the ordinary dining car behind him, not the empty high-end dining car facing him at this time.
"I felt it was a little hot in the carriage, so I went to this corridor to smoke..."
Sean nodded slightly, encouraging the other person to continue talking.
"While I was smoking, I heard the passengers in the premium car starting to sing."
"Singing?" Moonlight asked confirmingly, "They started singing? What song were they singing?"
The man swallowed again, with a look of panic in his eyes, and said with trembling lips: "What they sang is...
""friendship forever"."
"friendship forever"?
Sean frowned suspiciously.
Very classic tune. Cheerful people always sing this song.
"Then what?"
"Then..." The man's eyes started to look blank as he stared directly in the direction of the empty dining car, "I saw a lot of smiling faces, ladies and gentlemen, all smiling.
"They were holding drinks and cigarettes, looking so happy..."
"I was also infected by their emotions, and I was humming the song softly.
"Then I saw the food truck suddenly go dark."
"Dark?" Sean and Moonlight looked at each other.
Conductor Jerry seemed to have gotten used to the weird atmosphere. He raised his hand and said: "There was a power outage for two seconds...
"It's an old problem with the power system..."
Jerry said this, and Sean suddenly remembered - when he was resting in the box after dinner, the lights were indeed dark for two seconds.
But the time was too short and he didn't care at all.
"Then, what happens when it gets dark?"
"Darkness came quickly." The man no longer dared to look directly at the dining car, and looked at Sean for help, "I thought at first that the gentlemen and ladies were frightened by the sudden darkness, so the singing suddenly stopped.
"Then, when the lights come back on...
“The dining car is empty.
"It's empty...no one is there."
When the man said this, a terrible silence began to fill the corridor.
"I couldn't believe it, so I came closer through the window and opened my eyes to see." The man half-opened his mouth as if his mouth was dry, "Really...
"It's all gone."
The conductors' faces turned pale.
As he recalled what he witnessed, the man's soul was shocked and his heartbeat began to weaken.
His eyes were distracted, he was stumbling, and seemed about to fall.
Moonlight quickly played Ning Xin's song, and a wisp of smelling salts drifted from the cufflinks, making the man sober and stand up again.
After listening to the man's story, Sean fell into deep thought...
A food truck with no trace of the supernatural.
People singing.
The sudden darkness.
The collective disappearance after regaining sight...
He opened his eyes.
A possibility appeared in my mind again, but it was not suitable to talk about -
He was worried about another impact on the ordinary people present.
He could only silently describe the newly emerged conjecture in his heart:
“Our judgment on the deception method has put the cart before the horse.
“People disappearing is not the point.
"The point is, those people in the dining car never existed in the first place."
"It's just that the power outage interrupted some mechanism and made them disappear like a TV screen."
Someone is running a group of illusions on this train?
who is it? Why do this? !
"more importantly……"
Sean's breathing became faster when he thought of the face of the retired sergeant with scars on his face and missing his left hand who came to pay tribute...James.
If you want to hide it from his eyes, ordinary means are impossible.
He looked around, not daring to trust anyone except his teammates...
Another extremely troublesome situation!
