This time, I won't be the devil.

"From what you said, it seems that there are quite a few nobles in the Kingdom of Kahn who rely on connections to gain a position without doing anything?"

"That's right! It's because of these parasites that the kingdom has declined so much!"

Just then, another terrorist extended his hand, signaling the magician to stop talking.

"This is not something you outsiders should be involved in."

Through this communication, Frey has basically confirmed that this group of terrorists are members of the Zoroastrianism.

After understanding this, Frey said:

"If you don't welcome outsiders, we can leave."

"But if you refuse to give us a chance to live, then we'll be doomed to fail."

After hearing what Frey said, the leading terrorist explained:

"Our goal is only to hijack the train. We have no intention of doing anything bad to you."

"In an hour, the train will arrive near Wanggutun, and we will let you off then."

Wanggutun is a landmark on the border of the Kingdom of Kahn. It is said that in order to commemorate his aunt, the contemporary King Xin built a tomb for her here and sent people to guard her all year round. Later, it developed into a small settlement, hence the name.

"But as far as I know, Wanggutun is not a train stop."

Unlike a steam locomotive, the magic train cannot be stopped whenever it wants, especially in the snow. Stalling the engine and stopping the train means that everyone will be exposed to the cold wave.

"When we get to Wanggutun, we'll put this carriage down separately. As long as you get to the settlement in time, you won't freeze to death in the snow."

"In that case, I request that this carriage be inspected first, for example... to see if a bomb has been planted in it."

The moment Frey said the word "bomb", the terrorists were stunned. Then, as if to cover up the fact, they said:

"You can investigate if you want, but you can only send one person."

In the end, the task was given to Palu, a small, seemingly non-threatening man who had some knowledge of magical technology.

After checking and confirming that the carriage itself had not been tampered with in any strange way, Frey said:

"I accept your proposal."

Seeing that Frey was planning to make peace with the terrorists, a hot-blooded adventurer accused him:

"You just obey the enemy's orders like that. Do you have any backbone?"

"If you have the guts to fight back, you can resist on your own. We, the Black Knights, will not fight you."

After being refuted, the adventurer's attitude immediately softened, and Frey continued:

"According to the contract, my authority as the leader is unlimited during a state of emergency."

"Just follow my orders and I'll make sure you all survive."

Despite what Frey said, most adventurers did not trust him and began to discuss the matter.

"To put it bluntly, aren't you the one who's scared and wants to run away?"

"He just said he wanted to go back to his hometown to get married. It turns out that he only has women on his mind."

"I remember now. There was indeed a little girl who gave him oranges at the station."

"She's quite pretty, but she doesn't look like an adult yet."

"Marrying a minor should be illegal in our country, right?"

"Damn copper smelter..."

Looking at this scene, the arrogant magician among the terrorists said impatiently:

"Be quiet, everyone. Don't you know what's going on?"

But the adventurers were not intimidated. Compared with the monsters in the maze, the terrorists before them were not enough to scare them.

"Sorry, we adventurers are just like that."

Seeing that the magician still looked disgusted, Frey returned to his seat, took out an orange from his bag and handed it to him.

"Don't look so sad. Do you want an orange?"

The magician took the orange and threw it directly to the ground.

Looking at the oranges rolling on the ground, Frey silently remembered the guy's name.

He has a way to die.

Of course, Frey would not believe the terrorists' proposal. He was just doing it to collect intelligence.

Now that we have collected enough intelligence, there is no need to continue wasting time with these terrorists.

After glancing at the clock in the carriage, with 20 minutes left to reach Wanggutun, Frey suddenly clutched his stomach and said:

"Can I use the restroom?"

"Can't you just hold it in?"

"To be honest, I'm a pretty relaxed person, and I really can't hold it in."

"If I come out in front of a hundred people, my life will be over, right?"

Since the toilet was inside the carriage, the terrorists didn't need to force Frey to solve the problem in public, so they sent the magician to guard the toilet door.

"You'd better hurry up."

"I've accumulated a lot recently, so it might take a little longer..."

The magician stood helplessly at the door, listening to the sounds of force coming from behind the door.

What he didn't know was that the moment he entered the toilet, Frey had already climbed out through the exhaust duct above. This was one of the escape routes he had planned long ago.

What the magician heard was nothing more than a recording played by Frey using a small arcane blade hidden in the sole of his shoe.

After climbing out of the car, Frey first looked around at the surrounding environment.

It was dusk when the train departed, and now it was night. Under the darkness outside the window was a vast expanse of white.

Above the high-speed train, countless white snowflakes were blown towards us like blades by the strong wind. Without the protection of the carriage, ordinary people would most likely be blown away.

But relying on the air waves released without chanting, Frey successfully overcame the wind resistance and moved silently on the train.

His target was the train's control room, where the switch to disconnect the carriages was located.

…………

"Boss, we're almost there, Wanggutun."

With only 15 minutes left to the destination, a Zoroastrian in the control room reminded their leader.

"There's nothing unusual with the adventurers, right?"

"I just received a report that the leader, nicknamed 'Ordinary Man', has agreed to our proposal and has also proposed inspecting the carriages."

"What is this [ordinary person] doing now?"

"After reaching an agreement with us, he immediately let his guard down and is now using the toilet."

"It seems that although this ordinary person has some brains, he is ultimately a coward." The leader said contemptuously.

Hijacking the train was just a cover. The mission they received this time was to catch all 100 adventurers in one fell swoop, or at least ruin their reputation.

To this end, they pretended to give the adventurers a way out. In fact, the explosives were not in the carriage at all, but were buried under the rails in advance.

They would detonate the bomb once the last car separated from the train and slid into its designated position.

This will not only wipe out all the adventurers, but will also prevent damage to the train itself, thus preventing the situation from getting out of hand.

After completing the explosion, they will enter the penultimate carriage and then detach from the train and escape safely.

In this way, even if the train arrives at the station, the guards will not be able to catch them. In addition, the deceased is just an adventurer from another place, so the royal government will not spend much effort to hunt down the murderer.

So far, everything is going according to plan.

Thinking of this, the Zoroastrian leader closed his eyes happily, waiting for the final moment to come.

And his eyes never opened again.

No one spoke in the control room for a while, and it was very quiet.

A moment later, the believers nearby noticed that their leader's aura suddenly disappeared.

"Boss?" he asked in surprise.

It was at this moment that he discovered that a black mist had been pouring in from the exhaust pipe since he did not know when, and had filled the entire car.

"Enemy..." Just as the cultist was about to utter a sound, a dagger pierced his throat.

The believer fell to the ground and saw several corpses lying on the ground. In the fog, a figure was like a ghost, silently ending everyone's life.

He used up his last bit of strength to turn his head and saw the true identity of the attacker, a man wearing a black mask.

The masked man also discovered that the terrorist was not dead yet. After seeing him struggling in pain, he considerately stabbed him again.

In an instant, nine of the ten believers in the control room were killed.

"You... who are you?" the last believer asked tremblingly.

"I have no name worth giving."

"I am a partner of justice. Whenever the strong oppress the weak, I will appear."

"If you must call me that, you can call me the mysterious masked man."

After saying that, the masked man stabbed the dagger into the believer's body.

Before his consciousness faded, he heard the masked man's deep voice.

"It's already night, let's go on our journey quietly..."

After dealing with the cultists, Frey searched them and completely confirmed the identities of this group of people.

Frey did not kill the last cultist. In his opinion, leaving one alive to pass on information to the mastermind would be more beneficial to him.

After all, according to the information learned by the believers, the cowardly [ordinary people] are still squatting in the toilet.

The sudden appearance of the mysterious masked man can divert the attention of the mastermind behind this group of believers.

In order to further identify the real murderer, Frey also installed a micro transmitter on him.

Afterwards, through the detonator in the leader's hand and the switch in the control room, Frey deduced the plan of Zoroastrianism's action.
