Chapter 1544: Battle on the Train
On the beautiful plain, a train emitting black smoke drove past, startling the birds resting in the weeds.
Old-fashioned train, emerald green grassland, distant high and low mountain ranges, the whole picture was as beautiful as a painting. In this era, coal was the only motive power. If appreciated at night, one could see large sparks spraying from the train's chimney, which could be called movie special effects.
Su Xiao jumped onto the top of the last carriage. After observation, this train had 15 carriages. Excluding the driver's cabin and coal bunker in front, there were only 13 carriages that could carry guests, and the fourth-stage witch named Mira was in these 13 carriages. Specifically which one, it was temporarily unknown.
Su Xiao could not rashly perceive the witch's trail now. He was in the dark, and the enemy was in the light. Such a good opportunity could not be wasted.
Thinking of this, Su Xiao jumped down from the top of the carriage. D-Assassination appeared in his hand. He inserted D-Assassination into his waist side, covered it with his hem, and pushed open the rear door of the last carriage, stepping inside.
The width of the entire carriage was about three meters. The last carriage was empty. There were no seats here at all. Wooden boxes of different sizes were placed on both sides, and in the middle was a pedestrian walkway.
Just as Su Xiao entered the last carriage, a shotgun was aimed at him. It was the guard in the carriage.
Although taking the train was convenient and fast, with the backward communication of this era, robbing the train was absolutely a good business. Over time, the attendants on the train were all replaced by burly men, each with a gun in hand.
The shotgun was just aimed at Su Xiao and then put down, because the burly man saw the ring on Su Xiao's hand. Few people didn't recognize this thing. This represented a witch hunter.
"Shh~"
Su Xiao's index finger was held in front of his mouth, and the bearded attendant hurried to nod.
"Do you need me to do anything?"
The bearded man swallowed his saliva. A witch hunter appearing in this way basically meant there was a witch on the train.
"Diamond?"
Su Xiao looked at the shotgun in the bearded man's hand.
"Iron sand..."
"Then guard the rear door of the previous carriage. During this period, anyone jumps off the train, bang."
"Understand."
The bearded man started taking off his coat while speaking. Seeing his action, Su Xiao understood the other party's meaning. This was to let him pretend to be an attendant.
"Must kill the witch on the train."
When the bearded man spoke, his masseter muscle protruded. Without thinking, he knew that he might have family members who died at the hands of witches.
After hesitating for a moment, Su Xiao took off the ring in his hand, changed into the bearded man's coat, and not only that, he also took the shotgun from the bearded man's hand and replaced the iron sand inside with diamonds.
"Have you been out during this period?"
"Never been out. I am responsible for guarding the goods here. These are all copper ore."
"Very good."
Su Xiao patted the bearded man on the shoulder. Just as he was about to step forward to the previous carriage, the bearded man suddenly called him in a low voice.
"The previous carriage is also goods. The guard inside is called Matt. The carriage is full of gunpowder. Carriages 3 to 14 are passengers."
"Hmm."
Su Xiao came to the front of carriage 14 and knocked directly on the iron door at the rear of the carriage.
With a swish, the observation port on the iron door was pulled open. The bearded man leaned forward and said something to the guard inside carriage 14. The guard Matt slowly came to the front of carriage 14, observed for a while, and then returned to the rear of the carriage to open the door.
"Is there a witch?"
Matt's voice was very low, and his hands were shaking uncontrollably.
"Don't make a sound."
The bearded man was very cooperative and started talking to Matt in a low voice, giving Su Xiao a look during the period, meaning Matt could be left to him.
Su Xiao came to the front of carriage 14. Because the goods loaded were dangerous goods like gunpowder, carriage 14 was almost completely sealed.
Pulling open the iron door of carriage 14, Su Xiao, carrying a shotgun, walked into carriage 13. From carriage 13, it was used for carrying passengers. There were seats on both sides of the carriage, two people could sit on one side, four people sat opposite, so there must be two people with their backs to Su Xiao.
The train roared on the tracks. Just getting on the train felt very noisy, but after a while, one got used to this roaring sound, and even felt that this sound was not bad. At least one would not be lonely on the journey.
From carriage 13, there were no iron doors on the front and rear sides of the carriage, which continued until carriage 3. As for the coal bunker of carriage 2, whoever dared to climb up, the train driver would spray them with a gun when he turned his head, and would not listen to any explanation.
Just as Su Xiao entered carriage 13, some passengers on the seats raised their heads and looked sideways. After seeing Su Xiao's dress, these people no longer paid attention to Su Xiao, and some even took out their tickets.
On this kind of train, there was no situation where the ticket seat was opposite. One could sit anywhere after buying a ticket.
Su Xiao walked slowly to the front of carriage 13. He took out a cigarette and lit it. It was normal to guard flammable and explosive items and come out to smoke a cigarette.
It seemed that Su Xiao was "lazy," but in fact, he was using his peripheral vision to observe suspicious people. He had already completely contracted his perception into his body. The benefit of doing this was that the enemy could not perceive his aura either.
The passengers were very silent. Some were napping, and some were reading newspapers. Newspapers issued by the Holy Healing Church—do not think that this was something civilians could afford. Those who read newspapers were all tycoon-level.
After observing, Su Xiao didn't find any suspicious people. He stepped toward carriage 12. After observation, no suspicious people were found in carriage 12 either.
Carriage 11, 10, 9, 8, Su Xiao observed them one after another. Men were directly skipped, which significantly reduced the difficulty of finding the witch.
When Su Xiao arrived at carriage 7, he found that this carriage was exceptionally noisy. Several passengers were gambling together, gambling with a few copper coins. The specific rules were unknown.
Su Xiao stood near several people and watched the excitement for a while, and by the way, lost a few silver coins, then walked toward carriage 6 with a gloomy face. When it came to acting, Su Xiao had never been afraid of anyone. He was not afraid of the likes of Aizen, Qingyan, etc.
Just entering carriage 6, the atmosphere here made Su Xiao's footsteps pause. It was too quiet. Most of the passengers here were fast asleep. As a train attendant, Su Xiao of course could not let this strange situation go.
"Wake up."
Su Xiao pushed a middle-aged man. The middle-aged man opened his sleepy eyes and looked at Su Xiao in confusion.
"What for."
The middle-aged man was disturbed from his beautiful dream and was clearly a bit unhappy. He slapped a ticket on the small table in front of him, meaning: "I bought a ticket."
"Disturb."
Su Xiao "breathed a sigh of relief" and stepped forward. After walking a few steps, he passed by a young woman. The young woman wore a black and red dress, her skin white and delicate, breakable by a flick.
Su Xiao just swept a glance at this sleeping beauty and walked forward. After walking a few meters, his five fingers moved. The next moment, the handle of the shotgun was held in his hand, and the leather strap on the gun was torn off directly.
The pitch-black muzzle was aimed at the young woman. Just at this time, the young woman suddenly opened her eyes.
Bang!
Gunpowder burned, and white smoke sprayed from the muzzle of the shotgun, which was also mixed with a large amount of yellow crystal fragments. ===== CHAPTER 1545 =====
