Chapter 316: Give the passengers a big bag!

The trains in this era were not very fast, and their driving on the rails was not stable.
When passing through certain sections of road, there was still some slight shaking.
This makes Beidou from 2030 a little worried.
He had never been on such an unstable train, and he was afraid that the iron shell would fall off the rails halfway through the train.
Tom Mu once watched a documentary about the evolution of trains.
From the appearance of the steam engine, to the elimination of the idea of ​​cable-pulled carriages, to the appearance of the first crude locomotive.
It went through countless trials and errors and setbacks.
After the rough prototype of the train appeared, various problems still appeared from time to time.
The rails need to be modified, and the tires in contact with the rails also need to be modified.
The events that often lead to train improvements are train accidents.
It is through the continuous trial and error of predecessors that later generations of trains with higher safety appeared.
Therefore, Beidou's worry that something might happen to the train they were riding on was not just a blind worry.
Because the current trains have not eliminated a lot of hidden dangers.
It just seems barely usable.
But after all, Tang Mu's strength lies here.
When you are strong enough, you won't have to worry about this or that.
Tom Mu sat by the window, turning his head to look at the scenery outside the window.
Beidou couldn't sit still and looked around in the carriage.
He was observing the passengers in the same carriage as them.
There was a small group of three people who behaved a little abnormally, and the atmosphere around them seemed out of tune with other passengers.
Just because of the angle, Beidou could only see the backs of two of them, and one of them was looking down at the newspaper.
Therefore, Beidou could not see their appearance clearly.
It can only be roughly judged by their body shapes that they are two men and one woman.
Beidou didn't know why he kept paying attention to them.
But his attention really couldn't be diverted.
Suddenly, the man who was reading the newspaper suddenly raised his head and looked at Beidou!
The unprepared Beidou was startled!
What kind of face is that!
His face was stiff and expressionless, and his eyes were round and big, but without any expression.
Beidou looked at the man as if he saw a bottomless black hole, and smelled a faint fishy smell on the tip of his nose.
This strange phenomenon alarmed Beidou.
Tang Mu also noticed this scene and thought about putting on a pair of sunglasses for Beidou to block his sight.
I never thought about it, and I didn't know what the other person was thinking, but he actually put down the newspaper and raised his middle finger to Beidou.
Beidou suddenly stood up and strode up to the man: "What do you mean?"
Because he ate the translation konjac given by Tang Mu, Beidou had no problem communicating with the people who polluted the world.
As for where did Tom Mu's translation konjac come from?
Um.
​This is a good question.
But Tom didn't want to answer.
When Beidou questioned him, the man's expression didn't change at all. He still stared at Beidou and said, "You are not a human being."
"Bah! You are not a human being!"
The irritable Beidou slapped that man!
A "pop" sound!
The man was whipped so hard that he turned his head and reached out to cover his beaten face. The expression on his face finally changed.
That is an expression of disbelief!
"Okay, okay, there's no need to take action."
Seeing this, other people in the same carriage hurriedly came up to persuade him, fearing that the two groups would start fighting in the carriage.
Fortunately, in the end, the two sides did not escalate the conflict further.
An angry Beidou was persuaded to return to his seat. The man didn't seem to care about being slapped, and picked up the newspaper and continued to read the news.
Seeing Beidou sitting back in his seat, Tang Mu immediately gave him a thumbs up.

He is indeed the most irritable human being in Showa, and he is merciless when he beats up a bad woman.
Tang Mu likes this straightforward temperament.
No wonder Beidou, who transformed alone without the suppression of Nan Xizi in the middle and later stages, would get the title of Saw of Light.
After all, Beidou's character lies here.
People with different personalities have different fighting styles.
That's natural.
"Really, I was so angry! He actually gave me the middle finger! Not polite at all!"
Beidou Xingsi sat back in his seat, still unable to bear it.Cursing and cursing.
When Tang Mu saw this, he immediately took out a T-shirt with the middle finger printed on the front and back and gave it to Beidou, with a big smile on his face.
The meaning is obvious.
Let Beidou change into this dress.
From now on, I won't be afraid of others giving me the middle finger.
It directly turned into quarrels and fights.
Beidou glared at Tang Mu, feeling that this kitten was evil-minded.
Tom just laughed there.
At this time, the light in front dimmed, and a well-dressed man came over and sat down in front of them.
"Good morning, gentlemen, can I sit here?"
"Aren't you already sitting down?"
Beidou curled his lips.
The man smiled after hearing this and was not angry. He crossed his legs gracefully, took out two business cards from the inner pocket of his jacket and handed them to Tom Mu and Beidou. He said with a smile: "Introduce yourself, I am Randolph White."
"Hello Mr. White, I am Beidou Star Division."
Although Beidou is irritable, he is still very polite.
She took Randolph's business card and glanced at it, then stretched out her hand to shake it.
"Hello, Mr. Beidou."
Randolph also smiled and shook hands with Beidou.
It can be seen from Randolph's name for the Big Dipper Division that he has a certain understanding of Eastern culture.
Even in the 21st century, there are still many people who are confused about the order of names in the East and the West.
In this era, it is really rare for people like Randolph to know that Beidou is a surname.
"I'm Tom."
Tom also extended his hand to Randolph.
"Hello, Mr. Cat."
Randolph and Tom touched their paws, and inexplicable emotions flashed in their eyes.
Tom Mu's state is actually quite strange.
Sometimes everyone just treats it as an ordinary cat. When it does some extraordinary things, it will scare the people around it.
Sometimes, everyone knows that Tom is a cat. But he unknowingly rationalized what Tang Mu did and didn't make a fuss about it.
Just like now.
Tom Mu is a cat in a suit and leather shoes, and he talks like a human.
No one in the entire carriage thought there was anything wrong.
Having said that.
Jean Tom's intuition was pretty good.
It could be seen that the person in front of him who came to talk was obviously more curious about him.
​Obviously, I noticed some differences in myself.
But Tom Mu didn't care about it.
​It understands too little about the polluted world.
It would be better to have more talents like Randolph.
It allows it to collect more intelligence on the polluted world.
I really didn't get any useful information from the castle monastery last time.
After defeating King Morat with Dagu and fusing all the Tiga statues, Tom Mu also took Dagu to go to the cliff to find the town.
As a result, the town had long been deserted, and it was completely lonely.
When the time comes to travel later, they can only return to the human world first.
Fortunately, this time is different from the closed space like last time.
Whether it's on the train or in the small town of Marite at your destination, there are definitely many opportunities to communicate with the local indigenous people.
As long as you communicate, you can obtain information about this world.
Only with enough information can we figure out the relationship between the two worlds.
​And how to solve the monster crisis.
There are only a few pieces of information that Tang Mu knows now.
First; the polluted world is a Cthulhu-like world.
It is not the world of Cthulhu, but it is very similar to the world of Cthulhu. It's just that some monsters have replaced the various gods and relatives in Cruise's mythology.
Second: To pollute the world, use some means to make creatures in the human world fall into dreams. After dreaming about the monsters here, they will be mentally polluted, and finally turn into monsters in the human world.
Third; as long as the source monster is dealt with, that monster will not appear again. This is not confirmed yet, just speculation.
Fourth; there should be multiple Ultraman statues polluting the world. But where these statues came from and why they appear here is completely unknown.
The fourth point is very important, and it is exactly the information that Tang Mu and the others need to focus on when they come here.
In addition, the fifth most important point is how to cut off the connection between the polluted world and the human world.
If it weren't for the existence of polluting the world.
Ultraman's power will not be suppressed.
There will be no unsolvable monsters like pollution monsters that are infinitely reborn.
Perhaps the human world will follow the path of the orthodox Ultraman worldview.
In the future, ancient monsters and space monsters may continue to appear.
But that is far from being called the monster disaster that is now called the eve of the end of the world.
After all, Zhuxinguan also said it.
The number of monsters is actually limited.
It is absolutely impossible for them to appear one after another in a short period of time like now.
It has even become more and more frequent, so frequent that it makes people breathless.
Therefore, the stars speculate that there must be some kind of force that has been giving birth to monsters.
And Tang Mu's speculation is that it is most likely the cause of the pollution of the world.
It has been to a polluted world and knows what a polluted world looks like.
At this time, the human world is also tending to transform into a polluted world.
Perhaps, turning the human world into the second polluted world is its core purpose.
Um……
The word purpose may not be used accurately.
Tang Mu felt that it should be like a beast hunting, more instinctive.
But no matter what,This is what Tom Mu and the others need to investigate.
Once the information is confirmed, they can get rid of the passive defensive situation.
The counterattack officially began.
Tom Mu was still thinking about the two worlds.
Beidou had already started chatting with Randolph on the opposite side.
Randolph has short blond hair, neatly combed to the left.
His face is long, but his eyes are very bright. He often purses his lower lip, looking very thoughtful.
Perhaps because he often goes out, his clothes are more suitable for activities and are not so restrictive.
With a height of 1.9 meters, he does not feel oppressive on his body.
Gives people a very easy to get along with temperament.
After just a few face-to-face conversations with Beidou, the two of them had become obviously familiar with each other.
Tom is not a very smart cat.
But not stupid either.
It can be seen that Mr. Randolph has been obtaining information about Tom Mu and Beidou during the chat.
he is very smart.
Obviously he cares more about Tang Mu.
But because Tom Mu did not join the topic, his exploration of Tom Mu was always very measured.
It didn't seem so abrupt.
After all, two people are talking, but the topic always stays on the third person. It is undoubtedly a very obvious intention to expose.
Although Beidou also deliberately concealed their identities.
But Tom could tell that Randolph already had some rough guesses.
This man is quick-thinking, calm and patient.
The business card introduced him as a writer, but Tom didn't quite believe it.
It can be seen from every move of this person.
He is a very self-disciplined person.
There is no such person among the authors that Tom knows.
Everyone agreed that they would code words, break out, and make more than 10,000 updates per day.
The result is that they are all quite undisciplined.
The perfect attendance award is almost gone until the last moment, so I will never put pen to paper.
Some people cut off their updates several times, and their leave application slips were gone, or simply discarded.
Anyway, the perfect attendance award is gone, so I just updated it randomly.
If Tom's author friend had the self-control of Randolph, he would have become a great man long ago.
After all, his enemy is lazy.
That is an enemy more terrifying than a monster.
Tom realized that he could not defeat laziness.
Because sleeping in is so comfortable.
For all these reasons, Tom did not believe that Randolph was a simple writer.
He must still have a hidden true identity.
That identity may be quite important to it and Beidou.

No matter how you consider it, the native in front of you may be a window for Tom Mu and others to understand the polluted world.
"You are also going to Marit Town, right?"
After a brief exchange, Randolph suddenly changed the topic to the destination of Tom Mu and Beidou.
"Yes, I heard that the fishing industry is very developed there. We are planning to build a cannery and want to go there to inspect the raw materials."
Beidou revealed his identity and purpose in this world.
"The fishery over there is indeed very developed, otherwise there wouldn't be a train station there."
Randolph smiled and nodded, and added: "But it's not just about fishing. Have you heard about some of the rumors about Marit?"
"What rumors?"
Because the matter was related to the destination of their trip, Beidou Star Division was also a little curious.
"More than a hundred years ago, Marit was just a small fishing village. Because the surrounding areas were gradually unable to catch fish, the entire village was even in huge trouble."
Randolph's voice was very magnetic and his words were clear and eloquent. It was as if Tom Mu and Beidou were listening to the scholar telling stories.
"Later, the captain of a fishing boat wanted to find a new fishing ground, so he took his crew and set sail."
"As a result, they encountered a storm at sea and the fishing ground was not found. Instead, their fishing boat ran aground on a small island."
"But what surprised the captain and crew was that there were obviously no fish in the surrounding waters. But the indigenous people on this island were able to catch endless catches every day."
"What's even more surprising to the crew is that they can even often fish out some gold jewelry from the sea."
"And all the natives on the island have to do is sacrifice some young people to the sea."
Hearing this, Tom felt it sounded familiar. Maomao frowned and began to think deeply.
Beidou clenched his fist and said with indignation: "It's so inhumane! Isn't this a waste of human life?"
Randolph glanced at Tom Mu first, then looked at Beidou in surprise, and explained: "This is a religious ceremony."
"Bullshit! This is a cult ritual!"
Beidou cursed.
He cannot accept this act of human sacrifice.
Randolph was stunned when he saw Beidou's appearance, and then he laughed happily: "Haha! That's right! This is a cult ritual."
At the end of this carriage, the three people who had just had a conflict with Beidou looked here again with expressionless faces.
The two of the three who had their backs to them also turned around.
But Tom and the others ignored them.
Randolph seemed to appreciate Beidou and the others, and continued: "Although the fishing boat captain did not find a new fishing ground this time, they did find this treasure-like island."
"The captain discovered that the islandThe natives were only interested in the catch and did not care about the gold jewelry. "
"So the captain obtained the gold from the natives at a very small price."
"The fishing boats that had obtained a large amount of gold set sail again. After they returned to the town of Marit, sold the gold, and rebuilt the town, a new trade route was born."
Beidou sounds very immersive.
He widened his eyes, stretched his neck forward, and said very cooperatively: "Then what? The town of Marit became prosperous because of this, right?"
A listener like Beidou is definitely every storyteller's favorite audience.
Because this kind of positive feedback can bring people a strong sense of pleasure.
Even Randolph was no exception.
The same goes for Tom Mu's author friend.
Every time a chapter is updated and comments and chapter reviews appear in the work, he is very happy.
But the story told by Randolph really gave Tom a strong sense of familiarity.
Just listen to Randolph continue: "Things are not that simple. The prosperity brought by gold jewelry does not last long. After all, they are a seaside town."
"When Randolph went to the island again, he found that all the indigenous people on the island had been killed, and only some fragments of the old seal were left on the ground."
"It is a kind of jewelry with magical power that can resist the intrusion of gods and their servants."
After hearing what Randolph said, Tom suddenly reacted!
Good guy!
It remembered.
Isn't this story the "Haze over Innsmouth" in the Cthulhu Mythos?
It's just that in this world, the city called Innsmouth has become Marit.
After knowing that Marit is a replica of Innsmouth, Tom can roughly guess what they will face next.
Randolph has been observing Beidou and Maomao's reactions.
He said nothing, but continued: "Without the gold traded by the islanders, Marit, who had no other means of survival, quickly sank again."
"At this time, the fishing captain suddenly proposed to the whole town to establish the Lagon Tantric Cult to offer sacrifices to the gods of the sea."
"After that, they would hold secret gatherings and worship services every once in a while, and they would also empty some houses for guests from the sea to live in."
"Since then, there have been a number of new births in the town of Marit, and a number of people who did not belong to the Lagon Tantric Cult have died."
"But they no longer lacked fishing, and the whole town became prosperous."
"It's just that, after a hundred years, the appearance characteristics of the people in Marit Town have begun to become more and more obvious."
"They have stiff expressions and big, round eyes. People call them Marriott faces."
Hearing what Randolph meant, Beidou also thought of something, and suddenly turned his head to look at the three people at the end of the carriage.
Only this time, the three of them all lowered their heads, and no one looked at Beidou anymore.
