"It's strange. What went wrong... Could it be the extraordinary being with an enhanced sense of smell from before?"

Ji Xun eliminated all possibilities, and finally concluded that the most likely flaw was the smell.

He didn't take any chances.

At this juncture, any carelessness on his part would be fatal.

For a moment, my thoughts began to analyze rapidly.

The guy just now was very light on his feet, he was probably an assassin professional.

This person went directly to Car No. 16, and the purpose was obvious: to block the road and prevent someone from jumping off the train.

Ji Xun wasn't surprised either. If he didn't have this level, the people following him wouldn't be able to find him.

But it also illustrates one point: the enemy did not lock himself as the target, but only locked the general range of the carriage.

There must be certain information in the opponent's information that the target mission is a card master's apprentice. In other words, normally a spell card master can solve it.

If you are sure that you are the person you are looking for, you should take action after the face-to-face meeting just now.

If you don't take action, you must be unsure of who you are looking for.

This also gave Ji Xun time to react.

But if you leave the gambling table now, you will be discovered immediately.

Since there is someone blocking the road in carriage No. 16, there must be someone in carriage No. 14 as well.

The situation suddenly became critical.

...

But even though he knew he had been discovered, Ji Xun didn't panic and continued to place bets and play cards with the same look on his face.

Because he didn't do anything in the past few hours.

While he was playing cards, he also quietly hung the detonator ring hidden under the table on the gas pipe with a wire.

This small mechanism won't hurt anyone, but it will make a lot of noise.

This will buy him some time in the event of a riot.

And he kept observing Car No. 14 with his peripheral vision.

Almost everyone who enters Car No. 15 is probably an enemy.

I didn't see the hooded guy before, so it seemed like the enemy was cautious enough.

Soon, Ji Xun zeroed in on a woman wearing a leather jacket.

There are very few people running around in the rear carriage, and even if there are, they are all familiar faces from the next carriages.

Moreover, Ji Xun has completely memorized the people in every seat in these few hours.

So as soon as this woman appeared, he immediately realized that this person was not from the nearby carriage!

Ji Xun didn't know what this woman was capable of, but when she walked in, she instinctively glanced at the group of people playing cards.

This also made Ji Xun confirm that he had been exposed.

He didn't give the opponent a chance to attack at close range.

Now that it is certain that it has been discovered, there is no point in continuing to disguise it, as it will be found sooner or later.

"The only option is to jump out of the car..."

Ji Xun immediately stood up and squeezed out of the crowd of gamblers, thinking about a plan that he had rehearsed many times in his mind.

...

As expected, Ji Xun's leaving action immediately caught the brown-haired woman's attention.

She didn't look at the bunch of gamblers anymore, but directly glanced at her accomplices in Car No. 16.

Ji Xun also buried his head and walked forward, pretending to be in a hurry to go to the toilet.

There is no fear of being discovered.

Because he was still certain that the order given to the other party was probably to keep alive, so the attack would definitely not be fatal.

The train was still running at a constant speed, hitting something from time to time, and the outer armor clanked and made abnormal noises.

You can't see anything in the scenery outside. It's like being in an underground tunnel. It's so dark that it makes people instinctively refuse to jump in.

Jumping out of the car is the worst option.

If given a choice, he would try something else first.

However, the enemy was obviously smarter than he expected and didn't seem to want to give him a chance to jump out of the car.

Just after leaving his seat and walking a few steps, Ji Xun suddenly felt mentally trance-like.

It seemed like he was feeling sleepy due to lack of oxygen, which was a normal reaction in this carriage.

But Ji Xun immediately realized what it was: "Spiritual Spell Card Master?"

Enlightenment Appears: "Mental Corrosion Saving Throw"

He had been in contact with the fallen witch for so long before, and he was already familiar with what mental pollution felt like.

In other words, someone used mental spells on his back.

Because of my super high mental strength, I was slightly aware of some abnormalities, otherwise I might have been tricked unconsciously.

"If we continue like this, I'm afraid I won't be able to reach the scheduled location..."

From the corner of his eye, Ji Xun caught another glimpse of the assassin hiding his body in the crowd at the door of the carriage ahead. He secretly kept silent for a few seconds, and there were faint signs that this guy was surrounding him and coming to take action.

But if you rashly launch a jump plan at this position, the risk of being caught will be much greater.

For a moment, my thoughts were racing.

After taking another two steps, Ji Xun suddenly glanced at the guy in Seat 11 of Car No. 16 from the corner of his eye: "Eh..."

This was the hunter he had suspected before that his "curse power was out of control"!

If this guy is really the ruthless man who kills and sells goods that hunters talk about, maybe...

"Sure enough, we have to use plan B."

An alternative plan flashed through Ji Xun's mind for a moment.

It's not as close as the intended location, but this guy is closer.

He guessed wrong and was caught on the spot.

If you guess it right, things will be much simpler!

With thoughts in his mind, Ji Xun walked directly past the toilet and stopped next to Seat 11.

But even his stopped movement immediately caused the brown-haired woman and the assassin who were staring at him to become alert at the same time, and they stopped at the same time.

And not just these two people.

Ji Xun was keenly aware that as soon as he stopped, the spell power on the middle-aged man who was pretending to sleep seemed to be out of control, and suddenly overflowed uncontrollably for a moment.

This guy is pretending to sleep too!

There is a high probability that you guessed it right.

Thinking of this, Ji Xun quietly tapped his hand twice on the table while several pairs of eyes were paying attention, as if sending some secret signal.

Although the action was done in a hidden way, everyone saw it when it was time to see it.

Just this small gesture made several people's expressions change.

signal?

It's definitely a code!

This action is very misleading.

The guy who was pretending to be asleep was already suspicious, so he would definitely suspect that this tapping was another signal to others.

The other people from the Blackwater Mercenary Group who were following him would also think that Ji Xun was sending another signal to his companions.

But even if the two parties found out, they would be worried immediately, thinking what if they guessed wrong?

Ji Xun caught a few people's hesitation for a moment, and after knocking, he pulled out the revolver from his waist like lightning.

He didn't aim at anyone, but shot at the gas pipe that he had observed long ago with a "bang".

"Advanced Firearms Specialization" allows him to hit the target accurately.

The lighting in the carriages was all gas lamps, and this shot happened to be at the key point. The fire exploded in an instant, and then the two carriages 15 and 16 were immediately plunged into darkness.

...

"what happened?"

"Who the hell shot!"

"..."
