After waking up

The last ray of sunset in the distance has dissipated, and the train is traveling in the dark wilderness. In a carriage at the front of the train, the conductor is sitting on a chair by the window, guarding an oil lamp and feeling sleepy, holding a copy of "Holy Light" The pages of the Gospel have not been turned for a long time.

Mullan and Handel had already left the last carriage and were heading towards the front carriage. They searched for the luggage and sundries behind them, but did not find the coffin.

Then in Mulan's eyes, the state of this vampire is more obvious. He is definitely not the kind of being that is so powerful that he is not afraid of the sun. He is probably in a state that has not been completely transformed into a vampire. Although he is allowed to Discomfort, but not invisible.

But the preference is already obvious. Generally speaking, it is unlikely to get on and off the car in broad daylight.

"Professor, you said he is not actually that powerful?"

Handel was nervous throughout the whole process, keeping one hand on the handle of the gun in his arms, while Mullan walked in front with his cane. They had reached their destination.

"Yes, there are different categories among vampires. The most powerful among them are the extraordinary strong men of the different blood path. Judging from historical data and research records, they are the true ancestors of vampires. They are on the black list of the temple. There are two extraordinary beings who are in the evolutionary stage of the Night Nobles, at least the sixth or even seventh level."

Mullan spoke in a relaxed tone and looked back at Handel with a smile.

"And this one seems to be a blood recipient who has grown slowly. His current stage is at most a second-level blood-thirsty person, but he cannot be underestimated either."

Seeing Mulan's relaxed smile greatly relieved Handel's tension, and his body relaxed a little instead of remaining tense, which was also conducive to an explosion, but he still asked one more question.

"But we can't see him?"

At this stage, most of the students in Black Castle are in the stage of absorbing knowledge. Before discovering their own qualifications, few people delve into some subdivided professions. Moreover, the information specifications of many paths are relatively high and not everyone can read it. Therefore, although Handel knows about vampires, , but it is not understood in detail.

Mulan nodded and lowered his voice.

"Yes, but it is not always like this. The state just now was his ability. It was not his body that was hidden, but his blood will. It has been burned by my glorious power, and his body , it should be a passenger hidden in the crowd, he didn’t dare to expose himself.”

While they were talking, the two of them had already arrived at the front carriage. In front of it were the coal car and the locomotive. There was a passage door in the carriage, and it was closed. After knocking on the door a few times, Mulan opened the door and walked in.

A uniformed conductor stood up from his seat, while the conductor over there was still dozing.

"Sorry, passengers can't come here. If anything happens, please explain and leave."

"Conductor, everyone, I need your help."

Mulan did not explain the situation too much, but walked directly in front of the still dozing train conductor, and took out his appointment letter from his arms, which had the seals of the Black Castle and the Kingdom, as well as the Queen's personal seal and signature. .

"I am the recipient of the Order of the Violet, the Grand Knight of the Empire, the Queen's Guardian Knight, and the Imperial Baron Mullan Jonest. From now on, you listen to me."

The train conductor finally stopped dozing off. He rubbed his eyes and sat up, looking at the parchment carefully, and then looked at Mulan.

Although the train conductor couldn't tell whether the appointment in front of him was true or false, he was just an Imperial Baron. These names in front of him were quite big. Would anyone dare to impersonate them?

"Lord Jones, what can we do for you? Please give me your orders!"

The train conductor decisively chose to believe. Mulan put away the parchment in his hand and looked around the carriage.

"Let everyone who is asleep wake up. We first need to find the owner of a piece of cargo in the rear carriage, and a woman in the rear carriage was attacked. We need to find the criminal. He must be hiding among the passengers. The other party may be dangerous. Please pay attention to the weapons, and follow my instructions on how to do it."

Mulan gave a few simple instructions, and then the group of people left the car one after another and began to move on the train.

Several conductors began to check tickets. This was a normal procedure. Ticket skippers happened every day. Generally speaking, tickets would need to be checked in half an hour, but now it was just earlier.

The ticket inspectors focus on the passengers who need to be checked, those who board and get off the bus at night or early in the morning when the sun has not fully risen. Males may have pale faces and slightly bright lips.

The conductor didn’t know why the criminal was not caught. How could Mr. Jonest tell such a characteristic, but they were told that they only needed to follow the instructions and not to alert the other party when they saw similar suspicious targets. They would secretly remember it and tell Mu Lan will do.

The conductor and others, as well as another female conductor with knowledge of medical care, followed Handel to the rear carriage and hurriedly passed by. Handel deliberately explained the situation to the female conductor and others in a slightly anxious manner. .

"The lady has some difficulty breathing and her face is pale. Quick, right in front."

Mulan followed the next group of people and walked to the middle carriage. He did not continue forward. Instead, he stood in the middle of the two carriages with his cane on the ground. He took out a delicate silver box from his arms, and then took out the box from the box. He took a cigarette and held it in his mouth. The cigarette was not lit, but it was just a reflection of a comfortable state.

Mulan could feel that the vampire was a little afraid of him and had no intention of showing up to fight.

For this kind of thing, Mulan could have taken the car to do his own thing first and just send the news back to the Black Castle or Digao Palace, but now the faint feeling of hunger made him want to deal with this vampire personally.

The windows on both sides of the corridor were partially open, and the wind was blowing Mulan's hair. At this moment, his heart was not as calm as on the surface. It could be said that he was even a little excited, and a certain desire for stimulation had awakened.

‘Let me guess where you are, little bat! ’

A conductor walked up to several lying passengers and gently shook the person furthest outside.

"Passenger, please show your ticket. I'm going to check the ticket now. And you guys, please have your tickets ready."

Although the passenger who was shaken awake was unhappy, he still took out his ticket and handed it to the conductor. Other passengers nearby also sat up after hearing the sound and started looking for their own tickets.

"This passenger, please show your ticket."

"And you."

The ticket check started at the front, and there was movement in the quiet carriage again. Some people were stretching, some were touching their pockets with one hand to search for tickets while nibbling sandwiches, and some started chatting.

Although the conductor was a little nervous and didn't know where the criminal was, he had seen all kinds of people and was very good at checking tickets, so he didn't show anything unusual.

In another carriage, there were two conductors checking tickets together.

"Oh, this passenger, King Station has passed. If you are going to Digao, you have missed the time to get off. If you are going to the front, the face value of this ticket is not enough. No matter what the situation , you have to pay the ticket according to the actual destination."

The conductor said patiently, and the other conductor looked to the other side. At the same time, he glanced at all the passengers in the carriage, paying attention to the characteristics that Mulan mentioned before. Those who were slightly closer would have to pay attention when checking tickets.

"Ouch——"

There was a howl of wolves in the wilderness, which attracted many passengers and conductors to look sideways. Mulan, who was in the middle carriage aisle, also looked sideways at the wilderness because of the sound. Then he walked to the window and looked up at the night sky from the window. The strange moon did not appear. , a round bright moon hangs high in the sky.

Mulan frowned, turned around and walked to the other side. He looked at the side of the mountain forest from the window there, and then narrowed his eyes slightly. There were several black figures running wildly on the mountain, chasing the train.

In the front car, a gentleman wearing a bowler hat handed the ticket to the conductor who came to check the ticket with a smile, and glanced at the direction of the middle car. Although it was not visible from this angle, it He knew the swordsman was standing there.

"Hehehe, I told you, this is my home court!"

The conductor next to the gentleman took the ticket and checked it. From Lombard to Newgate, he estimated the two stops. He got on the train before dawn and got off before dawn. Then he looked at the man, half of his face was exposed under the brim of his hat. Her face was very white, even her hands were very white, and although her lips were not as bright as lipstick, they were still very conspicuous.

"Thank you sir, there is no problem with the ticket."

The conductor was nervous, but he handed the ticket back to him very politely. When the passenger took the ticket, he touched the conductor's hand and looked up at him.

"Your heart is beating very fast."

"ah?"

The conductor was stunned for a moment, then quickly patted his head, covering the cold sweat with his hands, and complained.

"Hey, don't mention it. I started working during the day the day before yesterday and haven't had a break since. During this period, I have been kept on night shifts. I have been suffering from heart palpitations recently. You know, this happens when you stay up too late. Forget it. I can finally take a vacation after this trip.”

The passenger smiled.

"Thanks for your hard work."

"There is no way. If you don't work hard, you won't get paid, even if the salary is not high."

The conductor complained again and turned towards the passengers on the opposite side.

"Hello, please show me your ticket."

Outside the train, the running black shadow ran out of the forest and got closer and closer to the train. Passengers had already noticed the outside and exclaimed loudly.

"Look, what is that outside?" "Is it a wolf?"

"Oh, my God!" "They're following the train!"

"Oh no, holy light, will they rush to the car?"

More and more people saw the black shadow outside and began to panic, and the train began to become noisy again.

"boom"

A gunshot instantly suppressed all the noise. Mulan, who was standing in the middle of the train, was pointing his gun at the outside of the car, with a wisp of smoke rising from the muzzle of the silver revolver.
