This is the last carriage of train 192938. Under normal circumstances, for safety reasons, this carriage does not carry passengers, but serves as a resting place for the staff on the train.
However, because the New Year is approaching, there are too many passengers on their way back to their hometowns, so the last carriage of this specially added train is also crowded with passengers.
However, there was no time to install additional seats in the carriage. The passengers in this carriage were lying on the floor, or leaning on themselves and falling asleep. The carriage was filled with the sound of snoring one after another.
When Shu Guan walked in, he saw this scene. Perhaps the passengers in this carriage were too fast asleep, and no one noticed that he came in from the outside.
Shu Guan frowned suddenly.
The situation inside the carriage completely exceeded his original expectations.
Shu Guan originally thought that the 192938 train had been trapped in a tunnel, constantly driving from this hole to that hole, but unable to leave. Such a weird and terrifying thing, the passengers on the train should have been in chaos long ago.
But unexpectedly, the passengers in this carriage were all sleeping peacefully, as if they had no idea that the train they were traveling on was in an extremely strange situation.
Shu Guan frowned and looked up at the wall of this carriage. Unfortunately, the last carriage had no windows. It was like a completely enclosed large iron box, and the air was extremely dull. No wonder the passengers in this carriage were They were all so soundly asleep.
Shu Guan gently closed the car door behind him, and the door bolt that he had just broken was now reconnected.
Then he walked toward the opposite compartment door.
Shu Guan walked very carefully, avoiding the bodies of those sleeping passengers who were lying or leaning on them, and had no intention of waking up these sleeping passengers.
With just a glance, Shu Guan had determined that these passengers were really sleeping naturally and were not hypnotized by some hypnotic technique.
And now he knows nothing about the situation on the train, nor does he know which carriage Rong Miao is in. He must maintain the utmost caution and never make any noise if he can do so.
Shu Guan slowly and carefully walked to the door of the previous carriage, grabbed the handle and pushed out.
The carriage door was not locked. He pushed it open smoothly and walked through the connecting passage between the two carriages, and then another carriage door.
Shu Guan pushed the door open and walked in.
This is a very normal carriage, with seats and windows.
The first thing Shu Guan saw when he walked into this car was to look out the window.
There was darkness outside the car window.
This is not surprising, because now the 192938 train has been trapped in a dark tunnel and cannot exit the tunnel, so there is naturally darkness outside the car window.
But at this moment, Shu Guan's face showed an extremely strange expression.
Because at this time he not only saw darkness outside the car window, but also saw the stars in the sky, the moon, the blurry mountains in the distance, and the telephone poles flashing past the window.
It was a world of extremely real car surfaces.
The only difference from the real world outside the car is that the world outside the car should be a bright sunny day, but it is still late at night from inside the car.
This is a really weird and scary thing.
Of course, this is for ordinary people. If the passengers on this train knew the real situation they were in,
But for a practitioner, this is still within the scope of what they can understand.
What Shu Guan is thinking about at this moment is what kind of Taoist technique can achieve such an effect, so that even a practitioner who is new to the acquaintance realm cannot detect anything unusual.
This carriage was full of passengers. Most of the passengers were also sleeping on the backs of their chairs, but some passengers were awake.
There were no lights on in the carriage, so the awake passengers did not have much entertainment. Some were eating snacks and cracking melon seeds, some were smoking, and some were staring at the moon and stars outside the window in a daze.
Shu Guan walked up to a passenger who was smoking and took out a cigarette.
"Borrow a fire."
He whispered to the passenger.
The middle-aged man who was smoking raised his head and glanced at him. This middle-aged man was wearing a decent velvet jacket and looked like a businessman running a small business.
He took out a box of matches and struck them.
Shu Guan leaned his head over.
"What a smoke!"
The middle-aged man who looked like a small businessman looked at the Sanliu brand cigarettes in Shu Guan's hand and praised him.
So Shu Guan took out another cigarette and handed it to him.
The middle-aged businessman took it with a smile and put it on his ear.
"Why is this train going so slowly? It hasn't even arrived in Shanghai yet."
Then Shu Guan said something like a complaint.
"It's still early."
The middle-aged businessman took out a copper pocket watch, opened the cover, looked at the time and said:
"It only took more than two hours from Wujiang, and it was at least nine o'clock in the morning when we arrived in Shanghai!"
When the middle-aged businessman looked at his watch, Shu Guan could clearly see the time displayed on his pocket watch, which was five-thirteen.
If this train has been running normally since it left Wujiang Station, the time it would arrive at this tunnel should indeed be around five o'clock.
…Then, the time stopped at around five o’clock…
Shu Guan raised his head and glanced at the thick night outside the car window again, smiled at the middle-aged businessman and said:
"Yes, it will take a long time."
Then he straightened up and walked towards the next car.
As he straightened up, he also raised his wrist and looked at the time on his watch, which was eleven twenty-eight noon.
...The time on this train has also slowed down, and the people on the train did not perceive this...
Even he himself didn't realize this.
Because since entering this train, Shu Guan has not noticed anything unusual, there is no obstacle to his movements, and there is no abnormality in his perception of the passage of time around him.
Shu Guan thought as he walked forward.
What kind of Taoism is this? It can create a scene where the world outside the car is still dark, and at the same time, it is difficult to slow down the passage of time.
Or is it not Taoism, but the efficacy of that magic weapon?
While walking in the aisle between the seats, Shu Guan frowned in thought.
"Xiao Yi, can you sense where the magic weapon is?"
"It seems to be in a certain carriage ahead."
Shu Guan pushed open the door to the next carriage, and then put out the cigarette he had taken a puff of on the ground.
Although people in this era do not have much awareness of the dangers of second-hand smoke, and there is no concept that smoking cannot be done in public places or in closed places, there were many people puffing smoke in the carriage just now. Although people were a little disgusted with the smell of smoke, no one raised any objections.
However, as a time traveler, even though he is an old smoker, Shu Guan still has this quality.
Meeting a conductor on the passage, Shu Guan asked him the car number of the first-class carriage of the train.
Compared to finding the magic weapon, Shu Guan was more concerned about finding Rong Miao first.
Only after confirming Rong Miao's safety first would he consider other things, such as how to get the train out of the tunnel.
Rong Miao was not seen in the two carriages just now, but it was not surprising after thinking about it. Rong Miao should naturally be sitting in the first-class carriage.
According to the carriage numbers of the first-class carriages mentioned by the conductor, Shu Guan quickly walked through the carriages and walked toward the center of the train.
Of course, just in case, he would still glance at every passenger in the carriage when passing by, lest Rong Miao miss it if he didn't take the first-class carriage.
Soon after, Shu Guan came to the carriage No. 16. There were three first-class carriages on this train, but the conductor did not know which carriage Ms. Rongmiao, whom Shu Guan asked him, was in.
There is a conductor standing outside Car No. 16. This is a unique service configuration of this first-class car. If the passengers inside need anything, they can always ask the conductor outside to help them.
"Sir, you can't just go in here."
Seeing Shu Guan approaching, the conductor stopped him politely.
There was no time to talk nonsense at this time, Shu Guan stretched out his palm and brushed the conductor in front of him, then saved the unconscious conductor, put him on the ground of the carriage, then pressed the door handle and pushed the door.
The carriage door was locked from the inside.
Shu Guan heard the faint sound coming from the first-class carriage at this time, frowned, quietly broke the door bolt inside, and pushed open the wooden door, which was much thicker than the ordinary carriage door.
A rush of warm air hit me.
Compared with the carriage we just walked in, the treatment in this first-class carriage is indeed different. The heater is on, and the floor is covered with thick carpets. There are only about a dozen seats in the huge carriage, all of which are large sofa seats. There is also a separate dining table, dressing room, and bathroom.
None of the passengers in the carriage were asleep at this time.
As for the reason why no one was sleeping, it was because something very special was happening in this carriage.
It took Shu Guan about three seconds to figure out what was happening in box No. 16 at this time.
This thing is: robbery!
The lights in the carriage were very bright, and the passengers inside were men and women, old and young, all dressed luxuriously, and you could tell at a glance that they were all wealthy people.
But at this time, most of the passengers in the carriage looked extremely flustered and frightened.
Except for three of the male passengers.
The three male passengers were all relatively muscular. Although they were all in suits and leather shoes, their demeanor and demeanor did not look like people who would normally wear such clothes. They did not look like wealthy people at all. , they even feel awkward wearing suits.
All three men had pistols in their hands.
"Everyone, the New Year is coming soon. We brothers have no other intention. We just want to make some money to celebrate the New Year."
A scar-faced man who seemed to be the leader of the three people stood on the dining table, shaking the gun in his hand and speaking proudly.
"We brothers have always robbed wealth but not lives. Don't worry, we brothers will get off the train when we arrive at Shencheng Station. Of course, as long as you cooperate well, keep your mouths shut and don't shout. Scream and no one will lose their life.”
"But if you don't know what to do and want money rather than your life, then don't blame my brother for the bullets in my pistol."
The other two robbers, holding a gun in one hand and a large cloth bag in the other, signaled the shivering passengers to put their belongings into the cloth bag.
I saw a female passenger putting a stack of banknotes in her handbag into a cloth bag with a fearful look on her face. The robber reached out to pick off the gold ring on her hand. The female passenger seemed not to dare to resist. The robber grabbed her wrist and took off the ring.
Her cowardly look made the robber seem to have other thoughts, so the robber began to tear up her clothes again and pressed her down on the large chair.
The male passenger sitting next to him had a look of shock and anger on his face, but he closed his mouth tightly and huddled in his chair, not daring to move.
As for the other two robbers, they were laughing.
"Boy, why are you so anxious? When you got on the train the day before yesterday, didn't you see the two beauties in the next car? Go catch them later and have fun. Why waste your money on such women? On the body."
The scar-faced man standing on the dining table laughed and scolded the robber who was taking off his pants.
When Shu Guan walked into this carriage, he saw this scene.
His eyes moved around the car, but Rong Miao was not seen.
As for what is happening in this carriage, both the three robbers and the passengers who were robbed are just ordinary people and should have nothing to do with the strange state of the train at this time.
It can only be said that even if the 192938 train was not trapped in this tunnel, the robbery incident should have occurred in this first-class carriage when it was approaching Shencheng Station.
Shu Guan picked up a teacup on the table next to the carriage door.
At this time, the robber standing on the dining table also saw Shu Guan, who had collapsed at the door of the carriage, and his face suddenly changed.
There was no time to think about why this young man could push the door in without any movement even though he had already locked the carriage door. The leader of the robbers immediately turned his gun, pointed it at Shu Guan, and shouted in a low voice:
"Kneel down. If you dare to speak out, I will shoot you."
Shu Guan ignored him and strode towards the next carriage, throwing away the teacup in his hand.
This is a white porcelain tea cup with a lid.
When Shu Guan threw it out, the lid and body of the cup flew in two directions.
The lid of the cup flew towards the robber who was not only planning to rob money, but also to rob sex. In the blink of an eye, it flew to the back of the robber's head and embedded itself in the robber's neck. The robber tilted his head and there was blood on his neck. He squirted wildly and fell on the female passenger who had torn most of her clothes.
The female passenger let out a scream of extreme fear and fainted.
As for the teacup, it flew towards the scar-faced robber on the dining table and hit him right in the face before he pulled the trigger.
So the teacup and the scar-faced robber's head were both broken at the same time.
However, when Shu Guan threw the tea cup, he did not use his spiritual power. Because he was afraid of the possible or almost absolute cultivator on the train, he only used his physical power, and it was a very small amount. The power of the physical body.
Otherwise, why would he go out of his way to get a teacup if he wanted to kill these two ordinary robbers.
Just this scene made everyone in the carriage, whether it was the passengers or the remaining robber, look at him like a monster.
Inside the carriage, it instantly became deathly silent, with only the sound of Shu Guan's footsteps becoming clearer and clearer.
Shu glanced at the remaining robber, then looked around him, thinking about what he should get to kill the last robber.
The robber let out a strange scream, and seemed to be so frightened that he forgot he had a gun in his hand. He turned around, opened the train window, and jumped out of the window.
However, it seems that he jumped out of the window very skillfully, and when he jumped out of the window, he curled up tightly, so that after landing, he could immediately roll his body to reduce the impact of the landing.
Judging from the look of the robber, it seemed that this was not the first time he had jumped off a speeding train.
Trains in this era generally travel at a speed of 30 to 40 kilometers per hour. As long as you are brave enough and skilled enough, you can indeed jump from the train without suffering fatal injuries, like every railway in Dahua There are always some snitches who specialize in picking up trains.
Perhaps these three robbers were also such railroad snitches.
But the remaining robber, faced with the fear brought to him by Shu Guan, chose to jump out of the car and escape.
But the moment he jumped out of the train, he suddenly let out a scream again.
At this time, the robber did not land. His body was still in the air, but it seemed as if he had hit something extremely hard that could not be seen in the darkness. His whole body was smashed into a ball of blood.
Blood flowers bloomed in the darkness outside the window, looking so strange.
Shu watched this scene and suddenly narrowed his eyes.
But in the darkness, he still saw nothing except the moon, stars, the black shadows of the mountains in the distance, and the telegraph poles that receded one after another.
Shu Guan took a deep breath, turned back suddenly, and walked towards the next car.
When he walked to the door of the next carriage, a voice suddenly sounded behind him.
"Thanks."
Shu Guan turned around and saw an old man with silver hair wearing a long gown standing up from his chair. Although there was still a look of fear on his face, he still nodded and thanked Shu Guan. .
Shu Guan remembered that when he came in, among all the passengers, only this old man seemed to have maintained a certain calmness.
Shu Guan smiled at him and then pushed open the door of the next carriage, which was also locked.
There are also only a dozen seats in this carriage.
But unlike Car No. 16, all the passengers in this car were asleep.
At this time, with such spacious and comfortable seats, it is normal for passengers to sleep.
But after Shu Guan glanced at it, he noticed something was wrong.
Because these passengers are not falling asleep naturally, but seem to be hypnotized by Taoism.
Shu Guan's heart suddenly jumped.
Sure enough, there are practitioners in the car!
