Players, Please Board the Train

Sure enough, shortly after they returned to their carriage, Vivi’s father also came back to the carriage, sitting down beside Vivi as if nothing had happened.

”Uncle, are you getting off the train today?” Vivi turned around at this moment to ask Xu Huo.

”Can’t get off,” Xu Huo smiled at her.

Vivi looked very happy, ”That’s great! I really like you, Uncle, and I don’t want you to get off so early.”

”Vivi,” her mother sounded a bit displeased, calling her name with a heavier tone. However, Vivi didn’t care, pretending not to hear and continuing to play with the toys given by the two players from Carriage Two, holding one in each hand and making them fight each other.

A few minutes later, Vivi’s voice was the only one left in this carriage. The players who had been chatting comfortably yesterday were all silent now.

Not long after, several new players boarded the train, about five in total. Three of them entered Carriage Three from Carriage Four.

Xu Huo saw Vivi’s mother’s hand resting on the table stretch slightly, then her thumb and index finger retract.

He calmly withdrew his gaze and instead looked at Dr. Deng.

Under his gaze, Dr. Deng involuntarily tensed up, using his eyes to ask what he meant.”Want something to eat?” Xu Huo asked.

Dr. Deng let out a slight sigh of relief, ”Anything is fine.”

Xu Huo called for the train attendants.

After lunchtime ended, Xu Huo changed his seat to the corner near the front of the train, silently calculating the time in his mind.

Sensing the changes in the expressions and body language of the players in the same carriage, he frowned inwardly. This bunch probably couldn’t wait until night to make their move...

The timing was just that coincidental. The moment this thought flashed through his mind, movement came from Carriage Two. First, the front door of the carriage along with the surrounding metal plates were cut off and vanished. Once Carriage Two was fully exposed to the view of Carriage One, the rear door was also twisted open by a force.

The fight started unexpectedly, but in the blink of an eye, the few people guarding the coffin box had already killed a player who was originally in Carriage Two!

Next, the man and woman who gave Vivi the gifts, along with the three players who rushed from Carriage Three into Carriage Two, became the main force of the attack. Four of them drew away part of the firepower, while one of them, a shorter player, moved with a flickering, elusive figure. He actually bypassed the escorts’ blockade and appeared directly on top of the coffin box!

”Hehehe! I’ll take this item!” he said, slapping a palm down towards the coffin box. However, halfway down, he was intercepted by an invisible force. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t press it down.

It seemed his item usage required physical hand contact with the coffin box. Blocked, his face turned angry. He drew a gun from his waist and shot at the person sitting slumped beside the coffin box.

Those two players with one hand fused to the coffin box didn’t even bat an eyelid. The one being aimed at extended his other hand, catching the bullet as if grabbing a slow-flying mosquito, then casually threw it back—with even greater force than when it was fired from the gun barrel. It hit the shorter player in the thigh before he could even react!

At the same time, the person on the other side of the coffin box raised two fingers and drew a cross in the air. The shorter player, who had dropped to one knee, was sliced into four pieces. Then, a trash can that appeared out of nowhere caught them, cleaning everything up without even a drop of blood splattering.

Similarly, the other players were also killed cleanly and efficiently, leaving no trace, as if they had never existed. Those escorts calmly returned to their respective positions.

Dr. Deng, watching from this side, didn’t even dare to breathe heavily. Seeing that those people didn’t seem to plan on leaving Carriage Two, he couldn’t help but say, ”Fortunately, they don’t intend to go on a killing spree.”

Xu Huo glanced at the people around him and noticed two of them were making moves.

Even if the escorts held firm within one carriage, they couldn’t stop other ambitious players.

The players in Carriage Three also sensed something was wrong and began retreating towards Carriage Four.

”Should we leave too?” Dr. Deng couldn’t hold back and said to Xu Huo, ”Staying here is too dangerous!”

Xu Huo’s gaze swept over Carriage Two, his expression somewhat hesitant.

However, just as both sides were at a tense standoff, a strange gas suddenly surged out from Carriage Two. It was extremely fast, slightly bluish in color, but completely odorless.

Although Xu Huo immediately put on his ”Oxygen Supply,” he still fell victim. The moment he was enveloped by the gas, all the other players in his field of vision vanished. The empty carriage echoed only with the faint sounds of the train moving.

Of course, people couldn’t just disappear into thin air. He quickly activated the ”Constraining Star Sphere” and ”Director’s Prerogative.” In the current situation, these two items were the most practical!

However, what he didn’t expect was that before he could use ”Director’s Prerogative,” the small megaphone in his hand suddenly slipped away. Then, a voice spoke out of thin air, ”This little gadget is quite interesting.”

Xu Huo instinctively sensed someone ahead. Just as he was about to use the Constraining Star Sphere, the effect of the gas disappeared. A man with jade-green eyes, sitting in a wheelchair, appeared before him, holding his item in his hand.

The effect disappearing wasn’t targeted at him alone. The players in Carriage One also showed guarded expressions upon seeing the wheelchair man. The escorts in Carriage Two didn’t look any better; they were even more tense than the players in Carriage One!

”Who are you?” Vivi reacted quickly, moving closer to speak to him.

Unfortunately, the wheelchair man raised a finger and drew a line in the air. She opened her mouth but couldn’t make a sound. Another line, and her knees went weak, making her kneel down.

Vivi’s parents tried to come to her rescue but were blocked by an invisible wall. No matter what items or characteristics they used, they couldn’t break through.

Xu Huo watched the spot where the two were striking. His eyes weren’t playing tricks; something resembling colorful diamond shapes appeared where they attacked.

Immediately after, he felt the wheelchair man’s gaze sweep over him.

His body involuntarily tensed up. This feeling reminded him of the man carrying the leather suitcase he encountered when leaving Fairy Tale City. These two were completely different types of people, but the feeling they gave him was surprisingly similar.

Having made a judgment in his mind, he simply sat back down in his original spot.

The wheelchair man also had no intention of causing trouble for him. After toying with the small megaphone for a bit, he placed it on the table and flicked it forward lightly with his finger.

Xu Huo caught his own item, only to see that the man had already turned around, addressing the players in the carriages ahead and behind, ”I only wish for a quiet, peaceful train ride. I hope everyone won’t ruin my mood. Additionally, please have the train attendants clean the carriage opposite thoroughly to get rid of the smell of blood.”

Two train attendants simultaneously appeared in Carriage One. After greeting the wheelchair man, they quickly cleaned Carriage Two using their items. Not only did they wash away the stains and replace the broken tables and chairs, they even restored the front and rear doors. As for those players suspected to be escorts, they just woodenly kept shifting the position of the coffin box they were carrying.
