Chapter 7 Lights out
The woman with heavy makeup put her hands on her chest, "I have told you everything I know."
There is a strong contrast between words and demeanor.
?Li Fei gritted his teeth and turned to stare at Xu Huo.
Xu Huo remained silent.
“Brother Li is asking you something.” The oval-faced woman glared at him angrily.
"I have an obligation to tell you?" Xu Huo knocked on the table, "Did you spend money?"
?The oval-faced woman choked, and Li Fei blocked her, knowing that he could no longer play his usual tricks.
"You know the situation, why can''t you tell everyone?" The middle-aged woman said, "You can''t be too selfish!"
"That''s right," said the square-faced man: "Since you knew about this before getting in the car, tell it and let everyone know. The more people alive will be good for you."
Others in the carriage did not speak, but in fact they all agreed with this point of view, but the woman with heavy makeup said: "I have said everything I can, and there is nothing you can do if you don''t believe it. Besides, who of you can conclude that other people don''t know about the first trial train?" What’s going on? Let’s share it with everyone!”
“Then you mean to watch others die?” The oval-faced woman said with disgust, “You are so selfish!”
“Those who kidnap morals are disgusting.” Not to be outdone, the woman with heavy makeup looked about to start a quarrel. Professor Han stood up and interrupted them loudly, “Everyone, stop the quarrel!”
He looked at the crowd and said: "This car is called the First Inspection Train. Evolutionaries have only appeared in society for less than a month. Even those who have experienced it have not revealed much information. It is not surprising to know a little bit."
“What about him?” The middle-aged woman pointed at Xu Huo, “I just saw him whispering to people in other carriages, don’t sell us out!”
Xu Huo ignored her hostility, "Isn''t it obvious from the note I showed you just now? Even if you buy information from the waiter, the information you get is included in the express regulations of the train."
“That’s right.” Professor Han said, “I think as long as you follow the train’s requirements, you can avoid the danger to the greatest extent.”
“In addition, the players of the game are human beings, and the settings must conform to human ethics and outlook on life, so depravity will definitely affect the game score.”
“The food on the bus can quench hunger. When there is food, no one wants to be corrupted.”
"We are only preliminary players now and will not become official players until the preliminary review train is over. The rating categories mentioned at the beginning of the game are mostly linked to assets, characteristics and evolutionary levels. Our performance in these three days will determine the future progress of the game. Obviously The requirement to get on the train, coupled with the implicit non-corruption, makes it possible to get high scores by following these rules.”
?Professor Han paused and said: "I suggest everyone follow the rules. This game may be just the beginning."
He is a smart man and very persuasive. Players have no choice whether to participate in the game. The higher the starting point, the safer it is.
"I listen to the professor. I don''t know what dangers I will encounter in the game in the future. If I lose someone first, I might lose my life." said the female student.
Others weighed it secretly and reached a consensus.
?It is obviously unrealistic to use force to force a woman with heavy makeup or Xu Huo to tell what they know, and what Professor Han said is exactly what everyone is worried about.
?Professor Han took out the small notebook he carried with him, folded it into strips of paper, and asked them to draw lots with the serial numbers on them. "There will be six people in a round, divided into half of the night and half of the night."
Everyone has no objection to this, just grab the note one by one.
“Aren’t you going?” Yan Jiayu asked Xu Huo as he stood up.
Xu Huo turned on the lighter with a "pop" and reached into his pocket, "You smoke it, give me the rest after you finish it."
?Professor Han glanced towards him and looked away when he saw that he was vomiting again.
In the end, the serial number Xu Huo got was five, and he stayed with Chen Yi and the female students for half the night.
A man with a square face, a woman with an oval face, and an old man were in a group, also in the middle of the night, and the remaining six people were in the middle of the night.
“The train has a lights-out time. To be on the safe side, everyone should not use mobile phones and lighters after the lights are turned off. It is best to turn off mobile phones. The person guarding the front door is responsible for keeping an eye on the light switch.”
Xu Huo''s group was guarding the front door. He nodded, "No problem."
“Then what if there are **** players among us?” The woman with heavy makeup said: “Isn’t it convenient for them to do harm to others if they act blindly?”
“Do you think Bloody Player is a fool?” the oval-faced woman choked her.
??The woman with heavy makeup said nothing more, and the matter was settled like that.
?The time soon approached eight o''clock, and everyone took turns going to the restroom in front. After coming back, everyone except the night watchman returned to their seats.
“Ding dong!” “The train is about to turn off its lights. There may be slight bumps when passing through the dimensional rift. Please return to your seat and stay calm.”
?After three consecutive announcements, the lights in the carriage went out. At the same time, the sky outside dimmed at a speed visible to the naked eye, sinking into darkness in just a few minutes.
?Xu Huoshou stood in front of the light switch and took out a folding knife.
The darkness on the train was devoid of any light from the sky. Not only was there no light from the operating instruments inside the train, there was no starlight or moonlight outside either. The entire train was running completely in a hole of darkness.
?As time went by, the breathing of the people in the car gradually became calmer. It was not as tight as when the lights were first turned off. It seemed that some people were still asleep.
? Xu Huo counted his heartbeats to calculate the time. When it was almost twelve o''clock, the train suddenly started to bump violently, as if it was rushing into a storm. The carriage swayed from side to side and lasted for three minutes before it stopped.
“Is everyone okay?” Professor Han’s voice sounded.
"I''m fine...ah!!" The female student''s answer turned into a scream before she could finish her sentence.
Xu Huo frowned and was about to step forward when he suddenly felt a gust of wind blowing from the side of his head. He blocked it reflexively, and a slender stick-like object pierced the back of his hand and hit him on the head. To the carriage door!
Xu Huo put his elbow against the car door and kicked the opponent in the calf. Hearing the sound of bone cracking, he picked up a knife and stabbed the opponent!
?? Chen Yi let out a scream and stepped back. At this time, something happened at the back door, and the square-faced man also screamed in pain: "Someone came in from outside!"
"Don''t turn on the lights!" Following Professor Han''s shout, other people in the carriage felt as if they were facing a powerful enemy. They didn''t know whether to block the front door or the back door. At this time, Chen Yi shouted in panic: "Xu Huo is attacking me. He is a **** player!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he was kicked out by a strong force and fell into the overturned table and chair. Before he could get up, his head was held down again, and a slender knife was fed into his ear!
?At the same time, the rear door slammed shut, but the steps were messy and it was not clear what was going on.
"Don''t use your phone! Just stand still and don''t move. If you walk around, I will assume that he is a **** player!" Professor Han yelled.
?The carriage suddenly became quieter. Xu Huo confirmed that Chen Yi had died and then stood up against the window.
“The front door is okay, Chen Yi is a **** player.”
After two seconds of silence, the square-faced man said: "The rear door is also closed. Just now..."
“Is anyone dead?” Xu Huo interrupted.
“I smell something fishy.” The old man said.
?It was only after the count was reported that it was confirmed that the person who died at the back door was a woman with an oval face.
“Out of breath.” The square-faced man groped and checked her body, “The neck bone is broken and there are wounds on the body.”
“Are the third-class players still in our carriage?” He Yang asked.
“I just heard someone going out.” The square-faced man answered quickly.
?This sentence made everyone feel relieved. Li Fei asked Xu Huo again: "How do you prove that Chen Yi is the **** player?"
"I...I can prove it." In the corner, the female student said with a cry: "Chen Yixian attacked me just now...I don''t know why he changed his mind again..."
Xu Huo turned his head slightly, thoughtfully.
“How should I put it, maybe you two are the **** players.” Li Fei chirped.
"I believe in my students." Professor Han said, "It would be harmful and unprofitable to start a quarrel now. Since there are no outsiders in the carriage, everyone should stay where they are and don''t move. We will wait until tomorrow. You don''t want to be completely destroyed because of suspicion and internal strife, right?"
Everyone remained silent and acquiesced to what he said.
?Although people were arranged to keep vigil in the second half of the night, no one dared to sleep under such circumstances. Everyone braced themselves and stayed in their positions, keeping their eyes open until dawn.
At four o''clock in the morning, the train went through another bumpy ride. At eight o''clock, it dawned, and an announcement began in the car:
“Ding!”
“Players are welcome to board the preliminary review train No. 301. This train departs from the three-dimensional point and passes through the dimensional rift. Two days later, the train will arrive at the terminal five-dimensional station at eight o’clock. There will be bumps during the journey. Please stay calm.”
“The train will classify and rate players based on their performance during the journey. Please be careful with your words and deeds.”
"Play the rules of riding below..."
?The rules for riding have not changed, but the time has changed from three days to two days.
?The sky suddenly brightened, and Xu Huo squinted his eyes for a while to adapt.
“Look outside!” Yan Jiayu exclaimed.
