Chapter 26 Exposure
“Kang, bang, bang.”
The train started to move.
The vents finally have flowing air, and the smell is much better.
The carriage was heavily armored and the speed was not very fast. Ji Xun estimated that the speed was only fifty or sixty kilometers per hour.
You shouldn't be killed if you jump out of a car.
At this moment, Car No. 15.
There is a lot of people here.
For treasure hunters who risk their lives to make money, there is no better way of entertainment than gambling and women.
“Come on, come on, one more flower card and I’ll be at twenty!”
"Blow the banker! Blow the banker! Blow the banker!"
"."
A table was cleared, and dozens of hunters gathered around the table to play poker games in full swing.
Playing cards is a bit like blackjack in a previous life.
Among a group of gamblers, Ji Xun, who was wearing a half-face gas mask, was also placing bets.
If you lose money, you will curse, and if you win money, you will be excited and blush.
Whether they recognize each other or not, gamblers will quickly become familiar with each other as long as they are gambling.
He originally had no interest in this kind of low-level gambling.
To participate so deeply, in addition to wanting to be a part of the crowd, the most important thing is to hide the fact that I have no seat and no companions, so as not to be noticed.
While gambling, Ji Xun observed the surroundings and arranged some preventive measures.
The carriage was very noisy.
In addition to dirty jokes, these hunters also have a lot of useful information.
Ji Xun also listened with great interest.
"Old Chen, I heard that you went to the eastern suburbs of Devil's Crossing a few days ago and found an abandoned warehouse and made a fortune."
"Oh, you can't say you made a fortune. It’s just that when I go back this time, I have enough money to buy a better breathing method for my kid”
"."
"Uncle Dong, have you found the materials for your [Law Enforcer] sequence job transfer?"
"I found one, it's pretty good. You can transfer it when you go back "
"Congratulations in advance to Uncle Dong for becoming a curse card master. I will take care of my younger brother in the future."
"It's still early to not lose control after the integration. Advanced Spell Card Master.”
"."
"Scar, I heard that your Iron Ax Group produced a devil's mark of rare black iron quality in that extra-dimensional space in the East District yesterday?"
"Tsk, 伱, This guy is very well informed. [Ace of Hearts-Bright Knight], the mark has an extra 15% bonus for flesh and blood growth.”
“Oh, there are additional entries. This is awesome. . ”
“It’s not too bad. Just after returning to the camp, the steward of the Haisen Chamber of Commerce took it away.”
"F*ck!"
"Hahaha"
"."
These hunters chatted about their cave exploring experiences in Devil's Crossing and revealed a lot of information.
Ji Xun listened silently, learning more and more about the world.
"How the hell are we going to find it!"
The old dog walked back from the No. 1 carriage, complaining crazily while searching.
His demon mark is [4 of Spades - Beast Walker], the contract points to the great demon Osei, and his career sequence also has the ability to transform into a beast.
Although the dog-headed beast is not very powerful, it gives him a sense of smell that far exceeds that of humans.
Because of this ability, although he was not very effective in combat, he successfully found a position with a fixed salary in the Blackwater Mercenary Group.
On weekdays, I mostly do some reconnaissance and tracking work, which is not too dangerous.
Originally the old dog was satisfied.
But this task really gave him a headache.
Among the thousands of people on the train, are you looking for a man and a woman?
What the hell am I looking for!
The more sensitive your sense of smell is, the more you will suffer in this train.
After only finding eight carriages, he felt like he was almost dizzy from the stench.
Ordinary people can only smell stench, but after transforming, he can carefully distinguish a hundred kinds of stench from the stench. What about the smell of fermented meat scraps stuck between the teeth in your mouth, the body odor of not taking a shower for a few days, the smell of shit on your shoes, the smell of viral infection and decay
The key to odor is that there is only one aspect.
There are other troubles!
Who in the Innocence City doesn’t have some secrets?
There are too many bad guys.
Even though their Blackwater mercenary group has some respect, if they really offend those guys, they will still get beaten.
But fortunately, the only accurate information is that the other party is a card master apprentice.
This can also narrow the scope to a large extent.
The old dog thought he was going to be smoked to death.
It took two hours to drive these eight carriages. Along the way, he met many suspicious guys, but after investigation, they were not the same.
There are eight more carriages!
But several other teammates also visited the carriage many times, but found nothing, and the team leader became more and more anxious.
Cold secretly, he did not dare to complain and continued to search.
Finally, we reached the fifteenth carriage.
Ji Xun was still among the crowd gambling enthusiastically.
Of course he also noticed that in the past few hours, there were several groups of people passing by, all of whom seemed to be secretly looking for someone.
But those people without exception ignored Ji Xun in the crowd.
There are estimated to be four to five thousand people in the entire train, and there are also many lone travelers. How can it be so easy to find yourself who has become one with the gamblers?
It has not been found yet, which means that the other party does not have much information.
It sounds like this train will take ten hours in total. It will be much safer if we get off the train in a few hours.
Ji Xun also breathed a sigh of relief secretly.
The reason why he chose carriage 15 was because it was near the rear of the car.
He has already observed that if he can get the key from the train conductor, he can open the back door of the sixteen carriages, and there is also the possibility of jumping off the train.
The armor of the steam train is very thick, but the locks are not as complicated as the previous doors in the 407 extra-dimensional space.
Ji Xun did not steal the key, but only glanced at it a few times. The photographic memory brought by [The Trickster] easily remembered the exact structure of the key. While gambling and going to the bathroom, he had already made a temporary key.
Now that I have several preparations in hand, I have room to deal with it even if I am discovered.
Ji Xun was not careless and continued to observe his surroundings.
The carriage was still noisy, but as he listened, he suddenly heard a story about his flash of inspiration.
"Hey, have you heard that something happened at the camp in the extradimensional space [the old Silver Moon Altar] two days ago."
"Why didn't you hear about it? They said it was from the old chain smokers group. Someone found an altar and found some ancient relic. Someone wanted to steal it, and then killed all the thirty people in the entire camp. The Hunter Guild also offered a reward of 100,000 to find clues to the murderer. "
"I have heard different versions. It seems that the man came into contact with ancient relics, lost control and transformed into a monster, and then went on a rampage and killed people. It is said that dozens of corpses in the camp were chewed to pieces. If It’s not an aberration. Why would someone eat a corpse after killing someone?”
“In other words, there is really an ancient relic in the Silver Moon Altar?”
“It seems so.”< br>
"Oh, any level I relic is worth hundreds of thousands. If you really want to meet a high-level relic, you won't have to worry about it for the rest of your life. Why don't we have that luck?"
"."
In the past few hours of riding in the car, Ji Xun has heard several similar stories about teammates taking risks in the wild and cheating on their equipment, or about killing people and stealing goods.
Stories like this happen almost every day, and hunters don’t think it’s a strange thing to kill people and buy goods.
The law of the jungle is the keynote of the Innocence City.
Even more than how many people died, they were more curious about how much the relics were worth.
Ji Xuncai gradually understood why the Cao family in the Governor's Mansion couldn't stop calling the train, and the restraint was so low.
It is not the power in this world that has a problem.
It’s the people in Innocence City who have a problem.
When others heard the story just now, they just lamented that it was a relic. And Ji Xun suddenly caught a key word in his mind: out of control?
After fusing [JOKER] before, he also has a special ability, that is, he can sense the out-of-control spell power of living creatures.
Normal people’s spell power is like body temperature, it is constant temperature.
Usually nothing can be seen with the naked eye.
Even if someone occasionally shows it deliberately, it will look like a uniform flame.
Just before he got in the car, he saw something unusual.
Then when he was observing several nearby carriages, he found the guy in the end carriage of No. 16 who was full of mantra and had very irregular shapes, like "octopus tentacles".
After Ji Xun saw it, he paid more attention.
It was confirmed that the guy would leak out irregularly every once in a while.
Ji Xun suspected that this might be the so-called "out of control curse".
Normally, if the magic power is out of control, it will become a monster.
But strangely, the guy didn't.
This made Ji Xun even more strange and he paid more attention.
He previously thought it was due to his lack of knowledge and misunderstanding of loss of control.
But after hearing the story about murder and smuggling, he felt that the guy was becoming more and more suspicious.
Yes,
it’s suspicious!
With this assumption and then adding conditions, more problems were discovered at once.
The guy chose to be in the tail car of No. 16. He was originally a very inconspicuous ordinary passenger.
But now Ji Xun felt that this guy might have the same plan as him, to make it easier to jump out of the car.
Also, there are very few people walking around at the rear of the carriage, so if someone comes here on purpose, it is easy to identify.
But this guy also chose a corner position facing the front of the car.
It is inconspicuous, but the field of vision is extremely wide, and you can see all the people coming and going.
Many coincidences put together are no longer coincidences.
There are various signs that this guy has a strong sense of counter-reconnaissance.
Then there’s the story I just heard.
Although there were thousands of people in the whole train, there was only one person who lost control of the curse.
Ji Xun suddenly understood: Could this guy be the guy who kills people and sells goods?
Think about the possibility.
The only way to leave Devil's Crossing Camp is by train, and it only comes once every two days, so it's not surprising to encounter one.
At the same time, if the two of them were both passers-by, it wouldn't be surprising to meet them at the back of the carriage.
When Ji Xun thought of this, he instinctively thought of something else.
But before he could think about anything else, something strange happened suddenly.
Suddenly, a tall, thin guy with a hood covering his face appeared in his eyes.
This guy was not walking fast, and his hood was shaking slightly, as if his facial muscles were moving regularly.
When Ji Xun saw this guy, he immediately became alert.
Smell?
A superhuman being with an enhanced sense of smell?
However, he remained calm and continued to gamble among the crowd.
Even if you are really looking for someone, you may not be able to find yourself.
The hooded guy didn't seem to notice anything and walked straight over.
Not long after, it was Car No. 13.
The four-person reconnaissance team of the Blackwater Mercenary Regiment all looked sad after the three of them met.
They have been searching for several hours, and they have found a few suspected persons, but after checking, they are not the people the group is looking for.
“Boss, is it possible that no one is in the car?”
"Whether we are in the car or not, we have to look for it. The regiment leader just sent a death order. It will be a big trouble if we can't find it this time!"
"How old is it?"
"Ti Go and see you.”
“What’s going on?”
“I understand now that it’s not the leader who is worried, but someone else.”
"Oh?"
"Who do you think is paying our current salary in Heishui?"
"You mean the Cao family in Shangcheng?"
". ”
The more they chatted, the more they felt that the situation was not good.
And then, the rosacea suddenly came back.
The strong man quickly asked: "How is it, old dog, have you found anything?"
The old dog took off his hood, revealing a dog face that was gradually becoming humanoid, and reported: "Boss, we found something! It's in Car No. 15!"
When the three of them heard this, they all looked over.
The old dog continued: "I found a special smell in the crowd when I went over. It was the devil's breath that can only be left behind by corpses from disasters above level B. The smell was very light, and it should have come from recently. I've used [Deodorizing Potion], but the irritating smell is still there. It's obviously not long after I came out of the extradimensional space, but there are many people in the 15th carriage, and the smell is too mixed, so I'm not sure what it is. Which one? I just thought it was one of the people playing cards, so I came back first because I was afraid that something might happen."
"Good job."
Hearing this, the three strong men looked happy.
Intuition told them that they might have found an important breakthrough.
If you are an ordinary hunter, even if you have just come out of another dimension, you will not need to use any [Deodorizing Potion] at all.
And Class B disasters are very rare in the wild, and it happens that there is one in the 407 space!
The time is right too!
The person in Car No. 15 has a big problem!
Without further ado, the strong man directly ordered: "Rose, go and see if you can use your sixth sense to identify the person."
The woman in leather clothes nodded and said: "I'll give it a try. The carriage is locked, and the target range is smaller. If you're just a card master apprentice, it should be fine."
The strong man: "Okay. Don't alert the snake after confirming it, wait for me to take action together." Since that guy can slip away from the group leader and the others, he has some tricks up his sleeve, so don't underestimate him and try not to make a big fuss. Use hypnosis to kill him quickly, otherwise he'll make a big fuss in the carriage, as will the Hunter Guild. Bian will also intervene.”
The leather-clad woman nodded: "Yes."
As soon as he finished speaking, the strong man ordered the skinny man playing with a dagger: "Xiao Wu, go to the No. 16 carriage first. Be careful that the guy may jump from the back of the car. Car. If you really can't control it, just pick the person's hamstring."
The thin man frowned when he heard it: "But boss, is it good to see blood in the car?" "
The strong man was also a little helpless: "I don't care about that anymore. Let's catch the person first."
He then ordered: "Old dog, you go last, first. Don’t show your face, lest that person notices you.”
Old Dog: "Yes."
As soon as the few people met, they immediately started taking action.
On the other hand, Ji Xun watched the cloaked man wander around for a while and then left. He didn't take it seriously at first.
Thinking that it was probably just like the previous waves, I left without finding anything unusual.
However, the wait did not last long.
Ji Xun suddenly saw a thin man wearing a half-face gas mask walking over.
Although this person seemed to be just passing by, he did not make any unusual stop in Car No. 15 and went straight to Car No. 16.
But Ji Xun immediately noticed something was wrong.
He now has the ability of photographic memory. Although this guy was disguised, looking at the black leather dagger holster on his waist, Ji Xun could still recognize it at a glance: This guy has been here once before. !
This guy looked around all the way before, obviously looking for someone, most likely someone from the Blackwater Mercenary Group.
Now he's here again, even in disguise, but he leaves so decisively, obviously he has some purpose.
"Have you been discovered yet?"
Ji Xun's eyes were stern, and he immediately made a judgment in his heart.
He didn't take any chances.
The worst happened.
