Chapter 191 "You'll Come Down Sooner or Later" (4K [-]-in-[-])

The onlookers in front of the broken glass window kept their mouths shut.

The passengers next to these passengers also kept their mouths shut.

Finally, silence spread throughout the carriage.

The other people who were infected by the inexplicable silence didn't know why at first, but after asking the people around them in a low voice, they shrank and shrank in their seats, and the atmosphere in the whole car suddenly became horrifying.

"...a total of ten seconds, it is impossible to get out of the strong light." Fan Ning, who witnessed the whole process, had serious eyes.

The extra safety helmets before only represent the suspected disappearance of technicians.In contrast, this time I saw a passenger disappear directly under my nose.

There is indeed something hidden in the dark field beyond this train.

Extraordinary monsters attacking people or some unknown existence?
But the whole process was too quiet, there was no struggle, no screams, no calls for help.

Fanning felt that even the word quiet was not quite accurate, and what happened was mixed with smooth and abrupt contradictions.

Joan whispered from the side: "Could it be that the wilderness in the dark night ahead is an illusion? In fact, that gentleman went somewhere else? For example, a similar mixture of appearance and will as we did in the underground building before?"

"This possibility is not ruled out," Fan Ning said, "but if there is a problem in the front area, what is the situation that the maintenance personnel just couldn't get the number right? There is also a problem under the car?"

Normal employee roster, complete maintenance records, no abnormal employee storage compartments and cloakrooms
Countless train conductors and workers carrying another safety helmet
After staring at the broken glass and thinking for a while, Fanning suddenly felt a strange sense of lapse in his thoughts.

He thought of a possibility, quickly took out the small notebook, tore off a piece of paper, leaned over the table and began to write something.

Sheeran leaned over curiously, wanting to see what Fanning wrote.

As a result, what she saw was not a sentence, but a stick figure with extremely sparse lines.

In the middle are two large and small nested rectangles, with several irregular polylines arranged radially inside.

On the left is a circle and a matchstick villain, a curve runs through the rectangle from the villain, and a cross is made after extending to the right.

Because these patterns are too simple, Fan Ning's painting speed is extremely fast, and he stopped writing in less than ten seconds.

"Why is the glass here broken?" Suddenly a passenger asked.

"That's right, who did it? Flight attendant, please clean up the debris below." Another person said.

After a period of trance, it seemed that a handful of fine sand in everyone's mind flowed back to the flat surface of the beach.

Fanning's attention was also drawn to the passenger's voice.

The cool night wind blows in through the huge gap in the glass window, and in the distance of the black mist are faint lights.

"Something attacked the train?" Sheeran and Joan immediately tensed up.

Fanning frowned at the broken window, then looked down at the paper in his hand.

What does it mean that I just drew these patterns?
Size rectangles, inner polylines...windows?This broken window in front of me?
Matchstick Men?To the window, through to the other end? ...a fork?

"Was anyone here just now?" He asked the lead passenger, who shook his head.

"There is a problem! These patterns I drew seem to remind myself that a passenger jumped over the broken window, and then... something happened? He died or disappeared?" Fan Ning looked at the stick figures in his hand, and his heart flashed Through these thoughts, he gradually guessed his original intention, "...But why didn't I just write down the simple words like 'passengers disappeared through the window'? Although these stick figures are also very simple, but they are written in scribbles. Three or four words may take less time."

"Lu, go and ask them to count the side tickets that were torn off at the ticket gate today."

"Roy, you'd better go back to the No. 2 car, and work with the other voice chiefs to take care of the students."

After arranging the matter, Fan Ning strode to Vassius' side.

He put his arms around the shoulder of the investigator of the special inspection agency, and said loudly: "Please try to remain calm, as you can see now, we may have encountered an incident with supernatural or mysterious factors. It is estimated that some friends have been in I have heard of such things in the market rumors... Well, unfortunately, I encountered them in reality today. Such things are often accompanied by unknown dangers. It is stupid to stabilize the situation by deceiving everyone. You are all in danger. I do not deny this point."

In the quiet and relatively closed carriage, the reverberation effect of Fanning's voice was very prominent, and everyone's eyes were focused on him, even the passengers in the adjacent carriage moved closer to the sides.

Joe Vassius stood up slowly.

This has something to do with Fanning's actions, but not much-I have to stand up, and it is impossible to sit in my position all the time.

"However, please trust my boss, Mr. Fanning." Fanning changed the subject, still putting his hand on Vassius' shoulder.

In such a silent and tense atmosphere, Joan immediately turned her cheek to the back of Hiran's hair after hearing this sentence.Of course, she tried her best to look normal and didn't make a sound.

She didn't know how many times she saw Fanning thinking and discussing how to guard against the Special Patrol Office behind his back.

It can be said that Fan Ning is more wary of these investigators than he is of secret organizations, so the word "believe" that Fan Ning said today really made her feel too much contrast.

Sheeran whispered in her ear solemnly: "You can think that there is no problem. The Special Inspection Office does position itself as the management department of the official organization, and Mr. Vassius is our boss."

Fan Ning continued: "Yes, a few of us are from the extraordinary department behind the police department responsible for investigating mysterious incidents, and we happened to be on this train today, and Mr. Boss, as always, is hiding between the ordinary seats, just to better understand Emergency response to such small-probability events."

"Although the atmosphere of the mysterious incident is horrifying and there is a certain threat to life, to be honest, its tragedy or casualty rate may not be as good as the major railway accidents that you often see in newspapers...so what we encountered may not be Worst case scenario. Please sit in your seats, obey the arrangements, stay calm, don't move around, and don't act aggressively to leave the train."

"Many phenomena are not necessarily true. As long as everyone treats it calmly and prevents overthinking, after we resolve this incident, perhaps the final result is just a few unlucky guys with poor mental endurance left with some mental illness. .” Speaking of this, Fanning laughed lightly a few times.

His words faced the problem directly, were authentic, did not intentionally cover up the danger, and pointed out his own reassuring identity, which immediately achieved good results. The standing passengers sat down, and originally huddled in their seats. The body of the passenger is also slightly stretched.

Under the gesture of his eyes, several flight attendants immediately began to convey these meanings to other compartments.

Then, these people looked at Joe Vassius together, as if waiting for the arrangement instructions.

Fan Ning has been thinking over and over again, whether this incident was related to him, or happened to him by chance, but he was involved together while investigating and tracking him.

So he really wanted to see what this investigator wanted to do.

Moreover, there is no problem with his posture. Although every official with knowledge has the authority to handle mysterious incidents, reporting to the Special Inspection Office is also an absolutely compliant operation.

If you don't push Vassius to come forward, who should you push?

The focus of the passengers' eyes has shifted.

Vassius, who was surrounded by everyone, still had a sullen look on his face. He took off his top hat, and threw it out the window under the surprised eyes of everyone!

"Mr. Fanning is absolutely correct." Vassius said indifferently, "It's a bit strange outside, and passengers and friends are not advised to leave the train for the time being... Then, colleagues who are devoted to fighting against the mystery, follow me to investigate the situation, and find it early A way to get out after the train returns to normal."

Fan Ning found himself increasingly unable to guess the minds of the people in the Special Patrol Office.

He presupposed several possibilities for Vassius' next move, but he didn't expect Vassius to directly ask to get off the car and "let him go".

Does this person understand the reason for his current situation?Or, at least part of the information?

"Sir, don't be impulsive." Fan Ning said in shock.

"That's right, I suggest at least checking the entire train before discussing the next action plan." Sheeran also made a suggestion on the sidelines.

Only a fool would follow him down.

Not to mention what kind of unknown purpose he has...

The suspected disappearance of the technical workers before, coupled with the record on the paper that the passengers disappeared after breaking the window and jumping off the train, already shows that there is something indescribable outside the train.

Fanning's own state began to tense up.

Compared with the unknown things permeating the outside world, the powerful Vassius who has been secretly investigating his secrets is a more real threat.

From the very beginning, the two sides seem to have disagreements... This is not going to be a fight right away, is it?

But what Fanning couldn't believe was that Vassius didn't force himself, he just climbed and shortened himself, and jumped out of the broken window by himself!

Could it be that this person is really mentally ill! ?

Fan Ning took the military strong light from the staff and shone it outside the train.

Vassius patted the dust on the top hat: "Mr. Fanning, I won't bother to do anything, you will come down sooner or later."

...What do you mean I will come down sooner or later?

This threat was inexplicably straightforward and weird, and Fan Ning felt a chill all over his body.

Vassius had already put on his top hat, and walked towards the distant lights without looking back.

During this period, Fanning on the train kept shining military bright lights on Vassius.

In the bright light of more than [-] meters, his back was always visible, and finally disappeared slowly at the boundary where the light could not reach.

It is difficult to judge whether a similar incident recorded on the previous paper happened to him.

The passengers looked at each other in blank dismay.what's the situation?Why did the leader of the Extraordinary Squad leave first by himself?
Fan Ning cleared his throat: "Our preliminary plan for such incidents is to divide the troops into two groups based on past experience. The officer investigates the surrounding environment. For everyone's safety, we first ensure that the risks in the train are checked..."

He lowered his voice again and said, "Joan, spread your calm and secret atmosphere along the aisles of each carriage. I'm worried that the calmness of this group of people will not last long, and there is a high possibility that there will be another explosive point somewhere."

Just after saying this, everyone immediately heard fierce curses erupting again from the junction of the rear carriages.

There was also a lot of banging on the door.

"What's going on?" Fanning walked quickly.

"This man won't open the door." The fat man in front of him bent his body, covered his lower abdomen with his hands, and his face was full of suffering, "It's been at least half an hour, hell, the severe diarrhea should have come to an end."

"Bang Bang Bang!"

He slammed on the door anxiously again: "Open the door! If there is something unspeakable about occupying the toilet for a long time, you have to respond, right? You got cholera and died in it?"

"Open the door! Open the door!"

"Why don't you try to change the carriage first?" Fanning said.

"There are more people in line over there, the same problem...Damn, damn, open the door! Talk! Open the door!"

"Bang bang bang! bang bang bang!"

Fan Ning felt that something was wrong, and he looked back at the flight attendants following him: "Get it out of the way?"

With the intervention of professional tools, the fat man kicked the door angrily, ready to have a good argument with this guy who occupied the toilet for a long time and didn't talk, but the next moment his expression froze.

The toilets were empty!
The in-line public toilets on the train are only carefully cleaned in the first-class carriages. There are too many users in the rear carriages, and the sanitary conditions are not good. No bad smell in the air either!

"Are you sure someone is inside and won't come out?" Fanning said in a strange tone.

"...Could it be...Could it be...the previous person has been out for a long time? Maybe I remembered wrongly, there are too many people coming in and out." Seeing is believing, Fatty's tone was a little confused, but then the severe pain in his lower abdomen reminded him, his expression changed Change, "I'm sorry, sir, I can't stand it anymore..."

He rushed into the toilet and closed the iron door.

Hearing the various voices coming from inside, the two girls couldn't help but frowned and took a few big steps back.

Fan Ning also shook his head helplessly.

There are three urgencies in people, and when they get anxious, they tend to lose their minds. He understands the fat passenger's gaffe.

The failure time has been too long, and as time goes by, people's actual needs for eating, drinking and drinking have also become a thorny contradiction.

He never thought about sharing the refreshments of the first-class seats with the stranded passengers. The reserves are not enough to cover the entire car, and the distribution process is likely to lead to greater confusion and conflicts.

It's not a terrible problem to be hungry for a night, or even a day, but this toilet... is indeed in short supply.

Fanning glanced worriedly at the other compartment in the distance, but when he saw the same long queue over there, he suddenly realized a problem.

If the fat passenger did remember wrongly and there was no one in the toilet, then who locked the iron door! ?
Feeling uneasy, Fanning tried to knock on the door: "Sir?"

No one answered.

"Bang bang bang." "Sir?" "Are you all right?"

When no one answered again, Fan Ning made a decisive decision: "Open this door again."

The lock on the iron door was completely useless after two twists and turns, and Fan Ning kicked the door open forcefully.

With the sound of creaking, the chill ran down the soles of everyone's feet and climbed up their necks.

The toilets were still neat and clean and empty!
At the beginning, the phenomenon of disappearing occurred under the car and outside the car, but now it starts to happen inside the car?
