Chapter 878 The Disappearing Passenger
Combat experience is not something that can be gained overnight, but confidence can indeed be developed in one go.
Li Chengqi is in this state now. Gods are too popular in the mortal world. Unless they encounter a demigod-level character head-on, they can basically be ignored.
By the way, it shouldn't be a big problem if they really collide. Li Chengqi's divinity is now bound to his mortal body. If there is an accident like a demigod that kills Li Chengqi, not only will he not die, but he will become even more miserable. Simply go straight to the gods.
——Then just like Adas and the others, they will fall again.
In short, Li Chengqi's relaxation was based on the fact that he was completely relaxed, but the others were obviously very relaxed. Even if the flight attendants passed by, they would glance at him warily.
Time passed little by little, and when it was almost eight o'clock in the evening, Li Chengqi closed his laptop and stood up.
"I have to go to the toilet. I won't be allowed to use the toilet when the bus pulls into the station."
Since it is not a direct line, it passes through many stations along the way.
Gan Xiaoyan on the opposite side said:
“The toilets on the high-speed rail will not be blocked just because you enter the station.”
Speaking of which, this was Li Chengqi's first time taking the high-speed rail. When he was studying abroad, the high-speed rail had not yet reached the city where he lived, so green cars had always been used.
"Really? Anyway, I have to go when the time comes."
"Big or small?"
"big."
Normally at this time, Li Chengqi would go to bed and take a shower, then come back and play on the computer for a while before going to bed at 10 o'clock. His long-term habit made him feel that his stomach was full of energy when he should have been.
This is really unbearable, Gan Xiaoyan can only say:
"Brother Li, hurry up, I'm always a little uneasy."
"You are just too nervous. What are you afraid of in the car?"
Li Chengqi waved his hand, stood up and walked out of the carriage.
But before going out, he patted the door first, then turned around and said to Gan Xiaoyan: "Don't worry, this carriage is very safe."
Then he walked along the aisle. Gan Xiaoyan saw him running to the nearest toilet and pushed it. She found someone inside, so she went further.
Gan Xiaoyan feels uneasy and something might happen, which is actually credible.
Human beings have very average attributes. Apart from being good at learning, they don't seem to have much advantage over other races.
But the number of human beings is extremely large, and with such a huge number, situations no matter how rare may happen.
For example, Gan Xiaoyan has the rare ability 'Vision'.
As mentioned before, this ability allows people to see the essence through phenomena. In Xianxia terms, it is probably a very rare innate magical power.
One of the reasons why Gan Xiaoyan was able to join the Ninth Section was that she could see things that ordinary people could not see with the naked eye. Otherwise, no matter how short of people the Ninth Section was, they would not have just recruited a little girl who was still in high school at the time.
However, Gan Xiaoyan's vision is not under her own control. To be more precise, it is in a dormant state. Currently, it can only exert a passive effect and cannot be used actively.
And she felt uneasy, maybe because she saw something with the power of vision, which was equivalent to her subconscious noticing that something was wrong.
Of course, even Gan Xiaoyan herself didn't know this, let alone others.
A few minutes passed after Li Chengqi left, and the high-speed train pulled into the station at this moment. Since they were sitting in business seats, they were not disturbed.
After a while, the train restarted and gradually accelerated, but Li Chengqi still didn't come back.
Gan Xiaoyan wondered whether Li Chengqi was playing with his phone while defecating in the toilet, right?
Wondering whether to ask someone to look for it. At this moment, there was a sudden 'click' sound from the car behind him.
Although it was not yet time to sleep, it was already past eight o'clock, and there was no such thing as a loudspeaker on the train. The high-speed train was very quiet while it was running. The sound was extremely harsh and shocking.
A few people who were already in their seats, who were already facing a formidable enemy, immediately turned around and saw a bottle of mineral water falling on the aisle between the first-class seats at the back.
Probably someone wanted to drink water but was not sure.
Everyone felt a little relaxed, but they immediately noticed something was wrong.
It's so quiet.
This is different from the silence just now. After all, there are many passengers in the carriage. No matter how quiet it is, there will still be some small sounds, such as slight conversations, the slight shaking of wheels running over the rails, the footsteps of flight attendants, etc.
But now, all of this seems to have disappeared in an instant, and the silence is so disturbing.
Only the bottle of mineral water that fell to the ground swayed slightly from side to side along the floor.
A member of Section 9 near the carriage door stood up, gestured to the others, and then cautiously looked back along the aisle.
He didn't know what he saw, but he quickly lowered his body as if he had been burned, with a look of panic on his face.
"There are no people left."
"Who is missing?"
"Everyone in the carriage has disappeared!"
Gan Xiaoyan immediately lay on the back of the chair and quietly peeked out. The carriage that was crowded just now was now empty. Every seat was still occupied. Some chairs were still packed with clothes and other things, but the people had disappeared. Gone.
She immediately looked back at the window on her left.
The train has started, and the current location should be outside the edge of the city. Generally, the surrounding areas are rural areas or simply wilderness.
Looking out of the car window, it is normal to see no tall buildings, but it is very strange to see no lights.
After all, as I said just now, it's only around eight o'clock, and it's not time for everyone to go to bed yet.
The entire car window was like a pitch-black curtain, so dark that it made one's heart sink.
Immediately, a flash of light appeared in the darkness, followed by a dull thunderous roar.
With the help of the flash of light from the thunder, Gan Xiaoyan saw the endless gray-black plain outside. Although there were not many reference objects, it was obvious that the high-speed train was currently at a standstill and stayed motionless in place.
This is even more weird. The high-speed train has just accelerated after leaving the station, and it shouldn't be completely unfeeling when it stops suddenly.
I looked up at the display above the aisle, which usually displays information such as temperature, humidity, next station, and train speed.
Gan Xiaoyan clearly saw that the scrolling subtitles on it had suddenly deformed. They were originally just dot-shaped square characters. In the blink of an eye, they became as if they were written in crooked regular script, and the train speed read '- 210'.
A chill ran down the tailbone and reached Tianling Gai, making the scalp numb.
What happened at that moment? Everyone on a high-speed train disappeared instantly. The train was traveling in a completely different place than before, and the speed was even '-210'.
etc.
Gan Xiaoyan's tense brain suddenly realized, could it be that it was not the passengers who disappeared, but...
us?
