Chapter 1693: Chapter 1693
(Wait to modify) "I don’t smoke," Xu Huo said blandly.
The female player first glanced at his hand, then looked at his face, sneered, turned her head, and borrowed a light from the player next to her.
Using the opportunity of borrowing a light, the two started chatting. After a while, a sense of regret at meeting late seemed to arise, and then they went to the front transition carriage one after another.
There were quite a few people watching the fun in the carriage. A man with a head full of skyward braids said enviously, "Why can’t I encounter such a good thing? That guy is much uglier than me."
The female player at the table played a card, took a sip of wine, and then said, "Lust brings disaster, be careful not to lose your life while chasing mere flesh."
The skyward braid unceremoniously placed a hand on the suntanned arm of the female player who was only wearing two straps, "Just mutual fun and games, no need to be so serious."
The female player in the vest turned back and smiled at him, her delicate fingers grabbed the hand on her arm and fiercely slammed it onto the table, causing the skyward braid, who was just enjoying himself, to flip onto the ground, supporting himself with arm as he cried, "I’m wrong, I’m wrong! Let go, let go!"
"That’s what it means to say lust brings disaster." The sturdy man sitting next to the female player kicked the skyward braid, laughed aloud.
The crowd followed with laughter, and the skyward braid had no awareness of being mocked, he got up and said, "It’s just playing around, if it works great, if not forget it, no need for life and death struggle, beauty, don’t you think?"
His last words were aimed at another female player at the card table, who wore long clothes and pants, her shirt sleeves rolled up, revealing arms full of scars. She wasn’t as easygoing as the vest girl and retorted, "I’ll ask your dad next time I meet him."
After experiencing setbacks twice, the skyward braid quickly responded, "Alright, alright, it’s my fault, I admit defeat this time."
The sturdy man saw this and said, "Admitting defeat means treating, invite the two beauties to a good meal as penance!"
The skyward braid agreed cheerfully, even specifically bringing out two bottles of wine, "This is quality stuff."
The sturdy man was interested in the wine, weighed it a bit in his hand, poured himself a glass, drank it, and the redness covered his face, he exhaled casually and gave a thumbs up, "Strong enough!"
The skyward braid also poured himself a glass, slowly savoring it, "This wine should be sipped slowly."
He didn’t invite others; the wine was left on the table, anyone who wanted it could pour themselves a glass.
Of the players playing together, only three drank the wine, the hat player, the shirt female player, and two others didn’t touch it. Everyone ate their own food, not interfering with each other.
Soon after, the two who went to the transition compartment returned, looking satisfied, with a hint of intimacy in their interactions.
The people in the carriage glanced at them briefly before going about their business.
Lunch time came quickly, it’s time to order meal now.
Most players were not poor, ordering meals quickly, Xu Huo, who had been resting in the room, now came out looking pale, first went to the bathroom, then hesitated repeatedly before ordering a dish and ate in the room.
The female player who borrowed a light no longer paid attention to him, focusing on flirting with the partner she just met, while other players in the carriage had somewhat shifted their attention, as if this person who seemed cautious due to injuries wasn’t worth much concern.
Xu Huo leaned back in the small room, resting with closed eyes.
The front and his current carriages were no different, while the rear was occupied by Golden-Eyed Player making passage impossible, the public dining area couldn’t be used, and the front VIP lounge was full, so he could only stay in this carriage.
With the sudden rise of noise from the end of a card game, he opened his eyes again and looked at the players in the carriage: first the cigarette-borrowing female player, then the skyward braid, followed by the sturdy man next to him, after glancing over these three, he looked outside the window.
At this moment, the train was traversing through a space abundant with rainwater, it’s obvious the rain outside was heavy, yet the droplets fell unaffected by the wind or the train’s movement speed, maintaining a relatively static motion. At first glance, it’s like raindrops were suspended in mid-air rather than falling.
This wasn’t an illusion of some magic show but droplets consistently maintaining such a slow descending state, even appearing stationary suspended at times, with rainwater flowing down from the roof on the train windows.
"This is called trembling rain," a player with a scholar-like demeanor explained to everyone, "It’s said that it’s formed due to abnormal spatial power fluctuations in the space."
"Spatial power fluctuations?" the vest female player asked, "Will they affect inside the train?"
"Not really, Dimension Train has special defense instruments..." However, before the words were finished, the vest female player suddenly stood up, following the crashing sound of a table being overturned, she pointed at a water droplet floating near the edge of the table, "What is this?"
The droplet came from the carpet. Everyone was excitedly slamming tables during the card game, water or alcohol spilled out, blending into the carpet without notice, but right now, all the liquids that should’ve been absorbed were squeezed out, forming small floating droplets in mid-air.
The same suspension occurred with the liquid in wine bottles and cups, as if in the blink of an eye, the compartment was filled with transparent small water droplets.
The players’ first reaction wasn’t that the train had a problem, rather they suspected something was being manipulated, but when someone exclaimed that the same thing occurred in front and rear compartments, everyone realized something was wrong. The next second, a sticker doll the size of a palm that had unknowingly been stuck on the carpet suddenly inflated like a balloon, the mouth swelled as it began to open and close, speaking:
"Welcome everyone aboard this train, as passengers, also as robbers, I hereby announce to all, from now on this train beyond the VIP lounge will be controlled by me and my crew, please do not resist, cooperate actively."
