PDLP Chapter 130 Fog
Chapter 130 Fog
The car shook slightly while driving, and at this time the outside of the car was already covered with white fog. The entire glass could only see pure white, and nothing else could be seen.
"You said the speed dropped?"
Shihui couldn't help but blink her eyelids. She quickly walked to the window and observed carefully. When she saw that she couldn't be observed, she walked along the carriage.
"This fog is truly extraordinary. It's completely engulfed the entire train car. Even when I woke up, moonlight could still seep in from outside. Furthermore, this fog feels strangely familiar, yet it's different from the living blood mist from before..."
Although the idea of being familiar with the fog was ridiculous, Shi Li had a sense of familiarity with it. This feeling was more like a sixth sense transmitted by the body and nerves, and this intuition made her believe it without a doubt.
"First, use the magic eye to observe. If there are any monsters wandering nearby, you can immediately detect them."
After Lime opened the magic eye, the fog had almost no effect on it. The scenery outside the car window was clearly visible, and there were no strange figures or creatures around.
Observing the speed through the trees, the train indeed slowed down, even as slow as an ox cart.
Although she didn't know what time it was, she clearly remembered the train switchman's frightened expression.
If you can't rush out of the Black Forest at full speed, there will definitely be fatal danger, especially at night.
Did something happen at the front of the car?
Thinking of this, she immediately sent a message to the Hell Knight in the boiler room: "What happened in the boiler room? Respond to me immediately!"
After a while, the Hell Knight responded stiffly: "Nothing..."
Although she said nothing happened, Shihui became even more worried. After all, it was the traitor Roz who secretly manipulated the dream to hurt Annie. Maybe she had some other tricks up her sleeve.
If Horod was manipulated, then the train would be like losing its core. After all, the train would need to move at full speed for the next week or so. The longer it dragged on, the more disadvantageous it would be for her!
Shihui grabbed Olena's arm and said seriously: "You and Yi Ke stay here. I suspect there is a problem in the boiler room. I will go over to take a look. Also, you keep an eye on Roz. If she wakes up and still loses her mind, just kill her!"
Olena bit her lip, feeling somewhat indignant that she could not help at all. She gently pulled Shihui's arm and said, "Then at least take Iko over there, Miss Hilde. Iko has very sensitive ears. Maybe he can help you in such a foggy day!"
"No!" Shihui shook his head and rejected it without thinking.
"Why, Miss Hilde will be the most vulnerable to danger this way!"
This made Oulena even more anxious. She couldn't help but ask why, and she looked like she would never let go unless the other party agreed.
Shi Hui raised his brows and showed a slightly angry look, which made Ou Lei subconsciously loosen his grip a little, but he continued to hold on to his arm.
"Alright, Oleina, the people in the carriage are the ones who need protection the most right now. You must first ensure the safety of these people. As for me, I'm fully capable of handling the battle alone. If things really get out of hand, I'll of course call for your help!"
"All of you will gather in one room. I will have Hell Knights guard the door tightly both inside and outside. This fog is very strange, so you must not let your guard down!"
After giving the order, Shihui returned to his room, picked up the revolver on the table, and quickly ran towards the boiler room.
"Squeak!"
When the carriage door was pushed open, thick white fog continued to pour into the carriage. For a moment, the carriage was like a large range hood constantly sucking in thick fog. Shihui quickly closed the door.
Inside the house, Oleina could only stare at the lime outside the carriage through the window, which made her even more worried.
I thought I could have a good rest during the journey, but I didn't expect to encounter such troubles one after another just after starting the journey. It really makes me feel uneasy.
She couldn't help but clench her fists, put her head against the glass and whispered, "Be careful, Miss Hilde."
Shihui held the revolver in her hand and leaned against the gate, breathing in the air continuously. In addition to the unique smell of grass and trees, the air was also mixed with the strong smell of smoke from the boiler room, making it difficult for her nose, which she was so proud of, to detect anything unusual for a while.
"It doesn't seem to be poisonous. It seems to be just a normal fog. But I still have to be careful. After all, the goatmen and chickens in that village were always seen with the fog. I can't let my guard down."
For Lime, every failure is a lesson learned, and it can even be said that his suspicion has become more serious.
She now not only suspected that there was something wrong with the fog, but she also absolutely suspected that there were monsters lurking in the fog. Perhaps those monsters were lurking behind the woods, ready to attack here at any time.
After making sure there was no movement around, Shi Hui strode over the connection between the front of the train and the carriage, and walked quickly to the door of the boiler room. After pushing the door open and entering, the heat wave inside hit him in the face, just like being in a sauna.
"Ok?"
Holrod was stunned when he felt the cold air coming in. At this time, he was observing the situation outside the car with his upper body naked.
He turned his head and saw Shihui wearing thin pajamas, which made the old man embarrassed and turned his head back.
"What is this old man embarrassed about?"
Just as Shihui was about to complain, he remembered that he was now in a girl's body and was no longer the eight-foot-tall man he used to be.
Whenever she thought of this, she felt a chill in her crotch.
She walked up to Holrod and asked, "Is there any problem here?"
The pipe in Horod's mouth moved, but he didn't turn around and said in a hoarse voice: "No, why are you here? I thought you were still sleeping. Even an old man like me doesn't need that much sleep."
"Hmph, then why did the train slow down? Have we passed through the Black Forest?"
Hearing this, Horod paused for a moment, but continued, "We should have passed the Black Forest. As for why we slowed down, it's because the fog here is too strange. The fog lights installed on this train can't penetrate it. In order to ensure safety, we naturally have to slow down!"
"Do you suspect that I deliberately slowed down?"
Horod turned his head straight, his cheetah-like eyes fixed on Shihui, as if he wanted to make her feel guilty from the bottom of her heart.
But this trick had no effect on Shihui. She tapped the lever lightly with the muzzle of the gun and said coldly: "It's not doubt."
"Then..."
"But I think you did it on purpose!"
After saying that, Shi Hui pressed his gun against Horod's jaw, which made it impossible for him to react at all. The Hell Knight who was in charge of shoveling coal also drew out his blood-red sword and put it on his neck.
From the moment he entered the room, Shihui had been observing the flame in Horod's heart with his magic eyes. His flame changed faster than an LED light, and it was obvious that he was lying.
Anyone who is not a fool can guess what lie Horod is telling.
It was obvious that he knew that the fog was very strange, but he deliberately slowed down his speed, obviously wanting to drag Shihui and others into the water.
If Ou Lei hadn't keenly noticed that the train was slowing down, it would have been difficult for her to react in the first place.
Horod swallowed his dry throat and stared at the other person with fear in his eyes: "You... crazy woman."
As an old fox who had been in the underworld for many years, Holrod warned himself in his heart that the other party knew nothing at all and believed that Shihui was simply trying to defraud him.
After all, this method is very common everywhere, and some people with weak mental abilities are often easily exposed.
Thinking of this, his expression quickly recovered and turned into anger at being questioned and slandered: "You are insulting my dignity. I don't mind dying to prove my loyalty, so as to avoid being doubted by a crazy woman like you!"
Faced with the fake emotional card played by this old fox, Shihui felt nothing in his heart, and even wanted to laugh. After all, no lie could escape the observation of the magic eye, unless the other party was of a higher level than himself, otherwise there would be no way to hide.
She pressed the gun against Holrod's chin even harder and said disdainfully, "Don't play tricks on me, old man. I'm a witch, of course I know if someone is lying. You'd better speed up, or I don't mind turning you into a mindless monster to operate this train!"
"Witch?!"
Horod suddenly made an unpleasant sound like a duck, his old face full of disbelief and horror, but when he thought of the other party's incredible abilities, he felt relieved.
He still chose to be stubborn: "This is not a reason for you to frame me!"
Shi Hui suddenly became furious and shouted, "Stop talking nonsense and speed up!"
Looking at the other party's unreasonable expression, Horod could only swallow his words back into his stomach and began to manipulate these strange levers to speed up.
At the same time, he half-threatened: "Don't blame me for not reminding you. Maybe there are monsters hiding in this fog. It would be best if you have the ability to get rid of them. Otherwise, all of us will die because of your decision!"
Shi Hui glanced out the window and then looked away: "You don't have to threaten me. If we don't speed up, all of us will be dead!"
