Thief Chen Ling and the other four entered the carriage.

This train had a total of six carriages, with five dedicated to freight and only one for passengers.

As soon as Chen Ling and the others boarded, they saw four figures dressed in enforcer uniforms sitting together.

Without surprise, they should be enforcers heading to the ancient ruins of Beidao.

"A-3...

here," Zhong Yaoguang found his seat following the signs and sat by the window.

"It's a pity, if I had known, I would have brought some fruits and snacks, the journey wouldn't be so boring." "If you want to eat, I have some here." Another person handed a bag of melon seeds from their bag.

"Thank you." Chen Ling had no interest in eating melon seeds because since he boarded the train, he saw the condensation of fog on the window forming two lines of characters: [Audience Expectation Value +7] [Current Expectation Value: 36%] Something's not right...

Every time Chen Ling saw the audience expectation value inexplicably rise, he would tense up because it often meant that something was about to happen.

"Chen Ling, aren't you going to eat?" Zhong Yaoguang proactively offered the melon seeds to Chen Ling.

Chen Ling squinted his eyes, this time he did not refuse, but took the melon seeds, crushed them in his hand, and watched them scatter bit by bit on the ground...

No poison.

Chen Ling pondered.

"...

" Zhong Yaoguang's eyelids twitched slightly, "Chen Ling...

even if you don't want to eat, you don't have to do this, right? You could just say no directly." Since they met, Chen Ling's attitude had been extremely indifferent, as if he didn't want to get close to them at all.

To be honest, Zhong Yaoguang didn't mind this kind of personality, after all, everyone grew up in different environments, but Chen Ling's actions at the moment did make him feel a bit excessive.

"Don't argue, let's be quiet for a while." Chen Ling was frowning, carefully looking for what was wrong, not interested in arguing with him.

The expectation value suddenly rose after they boarded the train, so there must be something wrong on this train! "Chen Ling, you..." "Alright, stop arguing." Jiang Qin timely intervened, "We are colleagues from Zone Three, such a small matter, there's no need to argue...

Chen Ling is tired, let him rest for a while.

Zhong Yaoguang, aren't you bored? How about the three of us play cards?" Seeing Jiang Qin speak, although Zhong Yaoguang was unhappy, he didn't say much.

Since Chen Ling didn't want to join, they would just leave him be.

"Okay." Jiang Qin seemed prepared, took out a deck of cards from his bag, and started playing with Zhong Yaoguang.

Support the creativity of authors by visiting Royal Road for this novel and more.

Chen Ling's gaze swept over half of the carriage, even with the enhancement of [Mystic Eyes], he didn't find anything wrong...

coupled with his limited knowledge of this era's trains, it was difficult to gather any useful information.

So, Chen Ling's gaze fell on the four enforcers at the next table.

"Which zone are they from?" Chen Ling suddenly asked.

"Zones Five and Six." Jiang Qin glanced at their uniform numbers, "Indeed, only four of them came...

just like the list." Sensing Chen Ling's gaze, the four enforcers also turned to look at him, after a brief eye contact, they looked away, calmly gazing out the window.

Chen Ling remembered that since boarding, he hadn't heard a word from the four of them...

not even a chat between themselves.

Chen Ling frowned slightly, he vaguely felt that something was wrong, but couldn't pinpoint it.

"Where is the Winter Harbor located?" "It's on the border of Zones One and Two...

why?" "The Winter Harbor should be farther from the other major zones, they have no other way to come here except by train." Chen Ling's brain was running fast, "But why...

are there only us and people from Zones Five and Six on this train?" Jiang Qin was taken aback, "Maybe Zone Seven is too far away, so they took the train yesterday?" "What about Zone Four? Zones Five and Six chose to depart today, there's no reason for Zone Four not to take this train...

where are their people?"Zhong Yaoguang faintly opened his mouth, "Why don't we just get on the car? What does it matter if the people from District Four are on board or not?" Chen Ling directly ignored his words because he felt that he had grasped something.

"Captain Jiang Qin, how many people are here from District Four this time?" "About ten?" As the two were talking, Zhong Yaoguang, who was impatiently waiting for the sign, propped his head with one hand and glanced out the window.

"Huh?" "What's wrong?" asked the person next to him.

"Did my eyes deceive me?" Zhong Yaoguang rubbed his eyes, widened them, and looked out the window, "...Where are the train tracks?" As soon as this was said, everyone was stunned.

Chen Ling quickly looked out the window, where the snow was swirling in the air carried by the steam train, everything outside was white, and at some point, the train tracks had disappeared.

"Gentlemen, please sit down and do not move around." A female stewardess carrying a black basket filled with snacks and fruits approached, smiling and asking, "May I offer you something?" Zhong Yaoguang and the others were all stunned, about to say something when Chen Ling's voice suddenly rang out! "Watch out!!" Bang!! The roaring gunshot rang out in the carriage, a bullet pierced through the basket and instantly hit Zhong Yaoguang's head closest to it.

The next moment, Zhong Yaoguang's bewildered head exploded, splattering red and white matter on the person sitting next to him, turning him completely red! This sudden turn of events shocked him and Jiang Qin, and then the stewardess pulled the trigger again! But almost simultaneously, a powerful whip kick hit the bottom of the basket, flipping it over! Bang— The second gunshot, the bullet embedded in the train's metal skin, emitting a sharp whine.

Jiang Qin, being an experienced law enforcer, reacted quickly, immediately moving in front of the female stewardess and delivering a powerful right hook to her temple, the terrifying force sending her flying and crashing onto a nearby seat! He swiftly drew his gun from his waist, aiming it at the female stewardess, when another bullet was shot from a distance! This time, the four law enforcers from Districts Five and Six sitting by the window fired the shots.

They sat calmly in their seats, squinting their eyes, looking at Chen Ling and the others with a mocking gaze.

The bullet pierced through Jiang Qin's palm, causing him to scream in pain as the handgun fell to the ground.

At the same time, two figures appeared at the entrances on both sides of the carriage, one was a middle-aged man dressed as a train conductor, and the other was a male steward.

Both stared coldly at Chen Ling and the others, sneering, "Nice reaction...

but unfortunately, you can't escape." "Number 17, if you don't act soon, that kid's blood will cool down in a moment." The female stewardess who was knocked down by Jiang Qin slowly stood up, casting a resentful glance at Jiang Qin, then walked to Zhong Yaoguang, whose head was blown off by a gunshot, and placed her palm on his face.

A grayish light flashed, Zhong Yaoguang's facial skin and features disappeared into thin air, leaving only a bare bloody face staring blankly at the ceiling.

The next moment, the female stewardess's face contorted dramatically, gradually transforming into Zhong Yaoguang's appearance...

She had stolen Zhong Yaoguang's face.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Qin widened his eyes in disbelief! "Thief God's Path...

Are you the Fire Usurpers?”
