Early morning, South London.
Gray mist wandered around the platform, and the cold wind was like a performer's slender fingers, plucking the strings composed of mist. The air was filled with the smell of soot, and it was quiet and dead.
Katsa...
Katsa...
After an unknown amount of time, a dim light came on in the depths of the mist. Accompanied by the sound of crushing cinders under the soles of shoes, a night watchman wearing a woolen coat walked into the platform. He breathed heat into his palms and pushed open the duty room. opened the door and returned to the room full of warmth.
"He won't be out on patrol for the next hour."
A man's voice sounded from the dome of the large platform: "It is 4:30 in the morning. In one hour, the train from Brookwood Town will arrive at Waterloo Station."
"Dad, why are we here so early?" In the darkness, a little girl said sleepily: "Wouldn't it be better to come here at 5 o'clock in the morning? You woke me up at 3 o'clock..."
At the top of the mist, the station's dome had intertwined steel keels. On a huge beam, Ma Wei sat on it, overlooking the track beneath his feet.
I arrived at Waterloo Station at 3 o'clock in the morning, preparing to welcome the funeral train coming from the direction of Brookwood Town. On board was a group of 'uninvited guests', unwelcome guests.
"Why don't you ride the funeral train with them?" Fat Orange sat on the steel beam of the dome and asked: "The funeral train departs from the town of Brookwood and enters London. You can get off at any place. You don’t have to meet them at Waterloo Station, if you get off the train halfway, the risk may be reduced a lot.”
"In normal times, I would do this, but don't forget, there are still several prisoners hiding in London. The church has not relaxed its vigilance. The demon hunters patrol and search day and night..." Ma Weidan said Said: "In contrast, Waterloo Station is the place with the least censorship because it is close to the city center and the only way to leave is by train."
"What if the witcher inspects the funeral train?" Fat Orange said: "The witcher will conduct a strict inspection of the train!"
Ma Wei nodded: "The witchers will indeed check the trains, but the funeral train enters London. According to the current situation, the witchers should check the trains leaving London. Otherwise, they will relax the trains entering London. alert."
The church has been tracking down the escaped prisoners. Without knowing where the prisoners are hiding, people always subconsciously take more precautions on the way out of London, but ignore the channels to enter London.
Just like when the police learn that a suspect has escaped from the crime scene, they will definitely set up roadblocks and blockades on the main roads to check people leaving the crime zone, but they will not pay much attention to those entering the crime zone.
"Waterloo Station is patrolled by witchers every day. They will arrive at the station before the first train. What are you going to do?"
After 9 p.m., trains will basically stop entering major stations, and the stations will not resume operations until the early morning of the next day.
In short, there is no one at the station from 9 p.m. to early the next morning. Without a driver, the train cannot start. A train that cannot start has no effect on the prisoners at all.
The witcher just needs to get to the station before the first train departs.
"Of course we lure them away." Ma Wei stroked the hard and cold steel beam: "There is a magic circle operating under Waterloo Station. Teleportation magic cannot be used. If you want to leave the station, you can only lure away the demon hunter who is responsible for inspecting the train. ....It’s not difficult.”
Ma Wei has been paying attention to Waterloo Station for more than a day or two. Ever since he learned that Mr. Butler used the funeral train to smuggle the Japanese wolves into London, he has been paying attention to the affairs of Waterloo Station.
After meeting Fat Orange, many cats were sent to the station to monitor him. Over time, they had figured out the demon hunter's action pattern.
Every morning, a team of witchers comes to Waterloo Station. Their mission is to check the passing passengers and prevent supernatural beings from using the train to sneak into London.
When trains enter London, there will be a witcher checking the train halfway. The witchers in charge of major stations only need to check the passengers at the station. Among all trains, because of the special significance of the funeral train, witchers will not check the train halfway. Dao boarded the car and let it drive into the city.
Not many people would pay attention to a train transporting corpses. At least until now, no one has discovered that Mr. Butler used the funeral train.
The time soon reached 5 o'clock, and a white light appeared in the sky. In the dim sky, the sound of hard leather boots stepping on stone bricks was heard. Then, figures in black coats suddenly appeared in the mist, like ghosts.
The demon hunters, wearing military caps on their heads, silently took over the order of the station. They were so quiet that even the night watchman in the duty room didn't know they were coming.
The distance was too far, and Ma Wei could only see a few shadows appearing on the platform. There were not many, exactly five people.
"The information is correct. The person responsible for patrolling Waterloo Station is Leon Angel's team. He is also here..."
Ma Wei, who had obtained the information about the members of the Demon Hunter, knew all the information about Leon Angel's team. This team could only be considered the bottom among the Demon Hunters. If the level was high enough, they would not come to Waterloo Station in the early morning. Patrolled.
As time passed, the sky became brighter and brighter, dispelling the darkness of the night. With the sound of the whistle, two yellow light bodies like the eyes of a giant dragon appeared at the end of the railway track, which were suspended from the front of the car. Large kerosene lamp.
Rumble——
Rumble——
squeak!
Amidst the harsh sound of brakes, the funeral train began to slow down. The driver pulled down the whistle again, and the train roared. The moment the train entered the station, the wooden box of magic spirits in Ma Wei's arms suddenly shook violently.
Ma Wei was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously touched the magic wooden box in his arms. For such a long time, the magic wooden box had never made a mistake, and this time was no exception.
There is indeed a magic power fluctuation on the train, but the source of the magic power fluctuation does not come from Kovalev and others.
"dad."
Yunia, who was still drowsy just now, opened her eyes and looked at the train slowly entering the station: "There is a supernatural being on the train."
"Hell..."
After all calculations, Ma Wei never calculated that a supernatural being was on board the funeral train!
All his attention was focused on the demon hunter patrolling the station!
"Are Kovalev and the others there?"
"I can feel their breath, they are fine." Yunia stood up, standing on the steel beam, looking at the funeral train that looked like a long snake: "Kovalev and the others were hiding in the second half, and the extraordinary The breath of existence comes from the front half of the train.”
Are you in peace?
Ma Wei was a little surprised, and quickly realized that the extraordinary existence hiding in the front half of the train was probably more powerful than either Kovalev or Agatha. Kovalev could not detect its existence, but because of Kova Mrs. Liao had a large number of people, including 30 people, so she did not act rashly.
In addition, everyone has to use the funeral train to enter London. Once a war breaks out, both sides will lose...
Kovalev and others have nothing to do with the supernatural being hiding in the front half of the train. The two sides have no reason to go to war, but...
"Look! The witcher is on the move!"
Ma Wei lowered his head. Under the sunlight, the scene on the platform became much clearer. He saw several demon hunters gathered together. The leader of the team held a strange instrument in his hand, which looked like two sticks. An iron rod that detects magnetic fields.
At this moment, the iron rod was pointed straight at the incoming train, making a low buzzing sound.
Demon hunters also have tools that can detect magical aura?
Ma Wei became a little nervous because he found that the captain of the witcher took out a signal ball and put it under the lighter to ignite it.
The fuse burned out quickly, and with a whoosh, a red flare exploded high into the sky, blooming into a ball of red brocade.
The flare flying out meant that Waterloo Station was in danger, and its companions were calling for support. This team of demon hunters obviously had self-awareness, received professional training, and took the best action the moment they discovered the problem.
"Reinforcements will be arriving soon." Fat Orange said with vigilant eyes: "Within 3 minutes, all the surrounding demon hunter teams will arrive at the scene. In 15 minutes, all demon hunters in the entire area will be here!"
Ma Wei frowned and kept thinking about countermeasures. He didn't know whether it was Kovalev or the extraordinary being on the train who exposed his whereabouts. He only knew that the situation was already very critical.
If all the surrounding demon hunter teams gathered at Waterloo Station, even if they could break out of the siege, they would be comprehensively hunted down by the Church of the Three Goddess of Destiny...
We must help Kovalev and the others escape from the station before reinforcements arrive!
squeak--
The funeral train slowly stopped at the edge of the platform. Thick smoke spewed out from the chimney. The surrounding visibility decreased again. Instead of stepping forward, several demon hunters took a few steps back. Golden light appeared in the gaps between the collars and cuffs. Ready for battle.
With a click, the door of the funeral train opened. There was no one in the carriage, but the fog covering the platform was distorted as if it had been moved by someone's hand. At the same time, on the platform opposite the door, , a wet drag mark appeared.
Seeing this scene, Tong Kong, the leader of the demon hunter team, suddenly shrank and shouted: "No! It's Yugok's Chris! Disperse! Disperse quickly!"
"Yugkris?" Yunia asked curiously: "Dad, what is Yggeklis?"
"A... invisible extraordinary creature." Ma Wei said in a deep voice: "Yugklis are the rarest extraordinary creatures in the world. They are born invisible, have no body, are extremely difficult to catch, and have a lifespan of nearly Eternity.... Their blood is blue, and those who take it can gain the ability to become invisible for a short period of time. No one has ever seen the true face of Yugoklis. It is said that they look extremely weird and ugly."
"Can you become invisible after drinking their blood?" Fat Orange asked in surprise: "Is there any magic potion made from their blood?"
"No."
Ma Wei shook his head: "Yugkris are too rare and can only be encountered but cannot be sought. Many times, even if you encounter them, you can't find any trace of them. And they are creatures with a strong sense of dignity. Before they are captured, , will commit suicide immediately, and as soon as the body dies, the blood will quickly fade and lose activity and effectiveness."
What confuses Mavey is that as one of the rarest supernatural creatures in the world, Yugoklis stay away from the hustle and bustle and rarely take the initiative to contact humans or other groups. Why did they enter London on a funeral train today, uncharacteristically?
Could it be Mr. Butler’s fault again?
Mr. Butler keeps transporting extraordinary creatures to London. What on earth does he want to do?
On the platform, although the figure of Yogkoris could not be seen, the team of demon hunters could still judge the location of Yogkoris through the wet drag marks on the floor tiles. They were wary and did not dare to step forward. No one wanted to move forward. Understand the attack methods of Yorgklis. This is a supernatural creature whose name and habits are almost unknown. They are so mysterious!
At this moment, Ma Wei suddenly noticed that the detection iron rod hanging on the demon hunter captain's waist was still pointing at the funeral train, which meant...
What was discovered by detecting the iron rod was not Yugoklis, but Kovalev and the others!
Yugoklis can avoid the detection iron rod used by the witcher, but cannot avoid the magic wooden box and Yunia's perception?
Full of doubts, Mavi picked up Yunia, activated the mud shadow magic, and jumped off the steel beam. While the witcher's attention was focused on Yugoklis, he sneaked into the funeral train. Behind the train Halfway through, I saw Kovalev and others sitting up from the coffin.
"Father! Why did Yugoklis appear in London?" Kovalev asked quickly: "Don't they live in the Southern Continent?"
The Catalog of Alien Beasts was disclosed to the Aurora Society. Kovalev and others who had read the Catalog of Alien Beasts recognized the characteristics of Yugoklis, not to mention that the Witcher Captain had just called out his name.
"For Yugoklis, the southern continent is indeed the best place for them to survive, but this does not mean that they will not come back to the north!"
Ma Wei said solemnly: "Don't worry about it. Since Yugoklis helped us attract the attention of the demon hunter, we will take this opportunity to leave the station... Remember, there is a forbidden magic circle under Waterloo Station. , teleportation magic cannot be used, any existence that uses magic to pass through the barrier will be detected, activate the mud shadow magic first, and follow me!"
"yes!"
Under Mavey's order, Kovalev and others put on cloaks and golden rings of mud shadow magic. Their bodies turned into a black shadow and lay flat on the ground. They quietly slipped out of the train and arrived at the station. edge.
Hiding in the darkness, Mavey and the others saw teams of demon hunters rushing into the station. Immediately afterwards, a fierce battle broke out in the station. Taking this opportunity, Mavey led Kovalev and others through. On the edge of the forbidden magic circle, he successfully left Waterloo Station.
"Fat Jue, you take Kovalev and the others away first to the designated place. I will come back to you."
"What are you doing?" Fat Orange stopped, turned around and asked, "You want to go back?"
"I'm going to investigate why Yggeklis appears here."
Ma Wei said seriously:
"Yugklis are a neutral group. They do not participate in the battle between humans and ancient gods. They have always been wandering at the edge of the world. They feed on the soul fragments after death and are a symbol of disaster. In the Catalog of Alien Beasts Said, if traces of Yugoklis are found, it means..."
"Disaster is coming!"
