The Modern Age of the Mysterious

Candle-shaped bulbs cast a rosy glow on the rosin-scented varnished panels.

Portraits and landscape paintings complement each other and adorn the ornate dining car.

The record player is playing a melodious violin song...

After ordering the meal, the four of Sean waited quietly.

The possessed Pansha, who had been chattering all the time, seemed to sense that the other three wanted a moment of silence, so he crossed his hands and turned his thumbs slightly, maintaining a rare silence.

From the moment he came in, Sean noticed that there were a few eyes staring at him.

Then, someone got up and walked over.

It was a man in his fifties who was wearing the uniform of an apostle military officer.

Step by step, he approached the table where the four explorers were sitting around—a seemingly brave move that attracted the attention of others in the dining car.

Walking closer, Yueguang discovered that the veteran with scars on his face lost his left hand.

"Retired non-commissioned officer of the Sixth Corps of the Apocrypha, James Bowen..."

"Fifteen years ago, he fought on the European battlefield.

"At that time, the Gehrman army used some dirty methods to let the brothers in the trenches go through hell, with no bones left..."

As if recalling the great horror, James' eyebrows showed a little horror.

Sean vaguely remembers that in the European battlefield of World War I, the increasingly disadvantaged Gehrman army used extremely filthy magic to summon things that did not belong to this world in order to regain their advantage...

Those things caused great trauma to the Allied soldiers, both psychologically and physically.

"It's people like you, and the clergy," the old soldier stood up straight and said with a little choked up, "Sacrificing yourself was the only way to save the lives of me and my brothers...

"Since then, as long as I am fortunate enough to meet people in the exploration world, I will express my gratitude."

James Bowen, holding his hat in his left hand with an empty sleeve, gave a standard military salute with his right hand.

"It's nothing to worry about."

"Resisting evil is the meaning of our existence."

The explorer responded with a face-to-face salute.

After the veterans paid their respects, Sean obviously felt that the atmosphere of the dining car was different.

There were originally a few people with fear in their eyes, but now the shadow has disappeared, not only that—

Another couple came to the explorer's table to tell the story of their mansion being purified and freed from a nightmarish experience, for which they also expressed their gratitude.

"It seems that Queen-level explorers can better represent the conscience of the industry."

Before the promotion, Sean and Moonlight were on the road, and they received more fearful eyes.

But after being promoted, people respected them like soldiers...

Perhaps, this is the proof of qualifications——

Newcomers with no rules are kept at a distance, but veterans with outstanding military exploits are admired.

When the greeting people returned to their seats, Sean and others finally brought their meals.

The silver tray was placed in front of Sean, and the mustache waiter gently lifted the silver lid, and presented the exquisitely fried chicken with asparagus and peas in front of Sean——

The feeling of the premium car is really different...

Picking up the silver knife and fork, Sean naturally turned his eyes to the car window while chewing the chicken that was tender on the outside and tender on the inside.

The sky was getting dark, and the snow outside the window showed a faint blue tone, which contrasted with the warm colors inside the car, creating a picture with a strong sense of contrast.

The contrast between the cold wind whistling outside the car window and the comfortable and harmonious atmosphere inside the window makes people inadvertently rejoice that they are on a warm train.

After dinner, Enchanted Panza was clearly interested in having a cup of coffee and sitting and chatting.

However, Moonlight, who is quitting smoking, doesn't think so.

While eating, the pianist watched the guests at the next table smoking one by one. This made him a little restless.

"I'm a little tired," Yueguang forced himself not to look at the man smoking next to him, "let's go back to the room and rest."

Gu Bei Sean naturally agreed with Moonlight's suggestion, and Pan Sha had no choice but to follow them back to the carriage.

After getting into the carriage and closing the door, Sean, who sat back on the sofa, found that it was getting darker outside the window.

The scenery in the distance seemed to sink into the deep sea, completely hidden in the darkness.

Nearby, only Wu Xue could be seen flying in a hurry.

Close to the window glass, you can even hear the sound of wind and snow blowing.

"The snow seems to be getting bigger." Moonlight squinted and looked out the window, the black glass reflected his face, as if he was staring at himself.

"I hope the weather will be better when I arrive in Rongyere tomorrow..." Sean picked up a book he was reading before, a book about rare folk customs from the Queen-level library.

Flip the book page to the page where the bookmark had been clipped before, in the faint whistling sound of wind and snow, Sean found the place where he left off before, changed to a comfortable position, and continued reading with relish...

The moonlight when he was full and not being able to smoke seemed to make him particularly difficult. Before it was time to fall asleep, he could only shrink his body, buried his chin in his collar, and began to doze off with his eyes closed.

Olivia sat quietly on the side, looking out the window—those snowflakes fluttering randomly seemed to be beautiful in her eyes.

In the box, only the sound of seconds walking, and the steady breathing of the moonlight, occasionally mixed with the sound of Sean flipping the pages.

The winter night was ferocious, but it was isolated from the car window.

The quiet and peaceful moments passed by, and Sean suddenly frowned.

When he took the book away from his face, he saw Moonlight also sit up.

Olivia looked at the door warily: "Someone is walking quickly.

"Breathe fast...

"The heartbeat is also very fast."

If there was an ordinary person sitting in this carriage at this time, he might be confused: Why didn't I hear any movement?

That is, after five seconds, he will be relieved - there is really movement outside, and someone stumbles over.

Bang Bang Bang!

The knock on the door was rapid.

"Mr. Quest! Mr. Quest!"

The spirit had already checked the person outside the door, and it was a panicked ordinary man.

Sean directly opened the door with the spirit substance: "What's the matter?"

Outside the open door, there was a young pale face - a conductor in a red uniform.

He seemed to have dry lips, looked at the calm Sean and his party, swallowed, and said in a trembling voice, "Mr. Explorer, something strange happened..."

It can be seen that the young man in front of him experienced extreme shock, which made him speechless for a while.

Moonlight's left hand shone with faint light, and he played a peaceful song~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The young man was surprised to find that a warm current surged from his heart, dispelling the chill that made his bones tremble.

"Don't worry, speak slowly." The possessed Pansha in the next room also heard the movement and was already standing outside the box.

The young man nodded. After calming down, tears almost came out: "Now is my patrol time...

"About ten minutes ago, I passed the dining car—it's the rush hour now, and there are a dozen gentlemen and ladies sitting in the car...

"Then, I went to the front of the train, and after punching the card, I had to turn back to the last car...

"That's two minutes..." The journey from the dining car to the premium carriage where Sean and the others were, and to the front of the train was very short. It only took two minutes for the conductor to turn back to the dining car.

The conductor blinked, tears rolling down his eyes.

"When I go back to the dining car...

"There is still smoke in the dining car, but there is no one, not even the waiter."

Yueguang frowned incomprehensibly: "Maybe they all just finished their meal and returned to their private boxes?"

"This is the strangest place..." The conductor's voice sounded like he was about to cry, "I searched all over the train and couldn't find those dozen or so people!"
