Chapter 249: Arriving at the Station!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Time passed bit by bit.
There was still half an hour before they reached their next stop, which was the stop where they got off.
But… The entire train compartment was surprisingly quiet!
This scene made Li Yidao lose some confidence.
He could feel that there was someone in the compartment next to theirs.
Not only were there people but they are also people from Cherry Blossom.
Li Yidao thought, “Haven’t they left?”
But… It’s almost the last moment. Why hadn’t they made a move yet?
Could it be that they just happened to be on the same train?
The answer is undoubtedly no!
There was no doubt that the other party was targeting Li Yidao and the others.
However… The real question is why they haven’t made a move yet!
In fact, he hasn’t lied down for the last three hours.
He was already prepared to make a move at any time.
He had the Grim Reaper’s Protection and could automatically counterattack at any time.
But the old man and Sister Zhou didn’t have this ability.
Therefore, the only way to ensure the safety of the others was to get rid of the other party as soon as possible.
However… Things were very different from what he had imagined.
The old man had always maintained a very calm attitude.
As for Yang Qingyue, she was as calm as the old man.
She showed no sign of surprise or emotional fluctuation.
As for Sister Zhou…
Well… In fact, she was the one who was the most nervous.
After all… Her strength was the weakest, and her means of self-protection were also the weakest.
Naturally, she is somewhat worried.
Therefore, her expression was the most colorful now.
But no matter what…
In short…
Their overall situation was still good.
At least, there was no real danger.
“Get ready to disembark and tidy up.” The old man ignored Li Yidao’s questioning gaze.
Instead, he said calmly.
However… In the end, Li Yidao couldn’t help but say, “Old man, since they’ve arranged for someone to come over, they definitely won’t go through the motions.”
“Is the person you said will help us solve the problem reliably? If not, not only will we be in danger, but the other passengers on the train might also be in danger.”
“Why don’t I take care of these people first?”
He was really afraid that the other party had some special ability.
If it caused any danger to the old man.
Then things wouldn’t be so fun.
So… According to his current thoughts, he naturally wanted to get rid of them first and nip the danger in the bud.
But… The old man still shook his head.
“Don’t worry, nothing will happen, and the innocent will not be implicated. You’ll know in a while.”
“We won’t wait for the train to reach the station before getting off. We’ll get off in advance. Pack your things. We’ll be there in about ten minutes.”
He thought, “Hmm?”
Li Yidao was stunned.
Li Yidao thought, “Getting off before the train reaches the station? What did he mean? Were they going to jump off the train?”
He looked at the speeding train and the window that couldn’t be opened.
Li Yidao didn’t think that they had the ability to do so, and he didn’t think that they could jump down so easily.
However… Looking at the old man’s indifferent expression, he eventually chose to shut up.
He thought, “Sigh. It was better to choose to believe the old man.”
“Ding, ding, ding.”
There was a crisp knock on the door.
Then, the door of the sleeper berth was opened.
They saw two men in ethnic costumes walk in.
After they entered, they performed a special gesture to the old man.
Then, they whispered, “Elder Fu, everything is ready. Let’s get off.”
“Okay.” The old man hummed softly, then gestured for Li Yidao and the others to follow the two of them out.
Li Yidao frowned as he thought, “Are these the person the old man was talking about?”
But… He didn’t sense any special abilities from them. He couldn’t even feel any special aura from them.
For a moment, Li Yidao couldn’t help but feel curious.
But… Just as Li Yidao walked out of the sleeper berth and passed by the adjacent compartment, his pupils suddenly dilated!
The four people who were originally in the carriage could be seen lying quietly on the bed inside the half-closed compartment.
However, this wasn’t what shocked Li Yidao.
What shocked him was that when they passed by.
He noticed a few black bugs crawling out of their ears!
Then, they gathered together and climbed out of the compartment. Finally, they climbed up one of the men’s feet.
Subconsciously, Li Yidao took a deep look at the two men.
So that’s how it is.
No wonder the old man was so calm. He said that someone would help them settle it.
It turned out to be handled like this!
This was because Li Yidao noticed that throughout the whole train compartment, in the corners or in other compartments, there were continuously many of these small bugs crawling out. They crawled into the clothes of the two men.
This was an indiscriminate attack!
It seemed that the other party had controlled everyone through these strange little bugs!
No wonder when Li Yidao got up and went to the restroom or came out to get some fresh air, he didn’t see anyone.
They were all probably under control in a state of deep sleep.
For a moment, Li Yidao felt a deep sense of wariness toward the two of them!
One had to know that those little bugs weren’t invisible.
But even so, the other party was still able to control the entire train compartment so successfully, and perhaps even other compartments.
Li Yidao definitely had his suspicions!
After all… It was impossible for all the enemies to be gathered in one carriage.
The people who had come to target Li Yidao weren’t absolute experts.
However, none of them were pushovers!
Under such circumstances!
Not a single person managed to escape the fate of being controlled!
What did this mean?
It meant the absolute strength of the other party!
As Li Yidao and his group entered the train compartment’s door.
The moving train unexpectedly came to a halt.
Soon after, the compartment door opened.
When Li Yidao followed the old man and the two of them off the train.
He saw men in the same clothes coming down from the other compartments!
As expected!
It was just as he had speculated!
They had taken control of the entire train compartment?
When did these people board the train?
Li Yidao didn’t have any impression of it.
Now… They had actually displayed such formidable strength. Really… Li Yidao felt at a loss for words for a moment.
“Elder Fu, Elder Lin is waiting for you ahead.”
“The Elder said that if you’re not tired, you don’t need to go to the tribe this time. They recently discovered a new Cloud Valley and he’s going there. He wants you to go with him.”
“However, if you want to return to the tribe to rest, Elder Lin will go over first.”
The man looked at Li Yidao and the others, especially Sister Zhou and Yang Qingyue.
It was obvious that he was considering whether Li Yidao and the others needed to rest.
“A new Cloud Valley?” The old man’s expression was obviously different. However, he quickly reacted.
“Okay, then let’s go over directly.” It was obvious that the so-called Cloud Valley was very tempting to the old man.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have changed his schedule so easily.
“Alright, I’ll inform Elder Lin and the others to wait. We’ll rush over now.”
As he spoke, the man took out a piccolo.
A crisp and melodious flute sound rang out.
The entire forest seemed to be filled with endless vitality!
Soon… Another similar flute sound echoed.
Obviously… This was the flute sound that the other party had confirmed.
Li Yidao looked at the endless mountains in the distance. He took a deep breath!
He wondered how much of the secret he could grasp..
