Everyone quickly returned to their compartments.

He Ao closed the door and glanced at the time—it was thirty minutes again.

He searched the room once more, but everything remained unchanged, with blank areas still blank.

Then he returned to the door and continued to pull and push at it.

Twenty-some minutes quickly passed, and even with He Ao’s physical condition, such high-intensity activity made him break out in sweat.

In the last two minutes before the countdown reached zero, no matter how much He Ao pulled at the door, as long as he didn’t touch the final boundary, the compartment showed no response whatsoever.

It seemed as if the train had given up.

So He Ao let go and took a rest.

Click—

When the countdown returned to zero, he opened the door again.

Almost simultaneously, doors on both sides also opened.

The blonde woman and Lin Chichi stuck their heads out at the same time.

"Brother Hao Yi," Lin Chichi seemed quite scared, her eyes slightly reddened, tears glistening on the verge of spilling over, "we can’t open it once the door closes."

Although this girl appeared quite clever, she seemed to have never experienced such bizarre events and was completely unprepared.

She had gradually realized what was happening and started to lose her composure from when she first boarded the train.

"Where on earth does this train go?"

She looked at the scenery outside the window—a beautiful forest stretched before her.

Beyond the forest was the faint outline of a town with exotic buildings.

"This seems to be Ankwe Town."

The blonde woman, looking thoughtfully at the buildings outside the window, said,

"Ankwe Town?"

Lin Chichi heard the familiar syllables, examined the small town’s appearance closely, then looked at He Ao, somewhat panicked,

"Brother Hao Yi, is that the Ankwe Town of Tia Empire? I remember the seaside cliff where I boarded the train is on the west of Tia Empire, and Ankwe Town is to the east. There are thousands of kilometers between them, but we have only been traveling for a little over half an hour..."

He Ao, who boarded the train at Alano on Noti Island in the northeast of Tia Empire, realized that the train had first headed west for thousands of kilometers, then looped back.

At that moment, Lin Chichi suddenly realized something; she looked around with her gaze lingering on the dining car behind her.

The dining car had panoramic windows on three sides, offering views of the outside landscape.

Now the train was nestled between the sea on one side and the forest on the other, traveling along the coastline with a not so swift speed.

Lin Chichi turned back, her eyes wide with watery earnestness as she looked at He Ao,

"Brother Hao Yi, perhaps we could break the windows and run out. The town is not far from here; we could easily get help, and the train isn’t moving fast, so jumping out shouldn’t be dangerous. Do you think that would work?"

The young girl was very resourceful; although she had already thought of a plan, she still gave up the decision-making power.

She knew that she might not have the strength to break the glass on her own, and relying on the tall He Ao offered a better chance of escape.

"We can try it."

He Ao nodded gently.

Even though he knew that the windows of this train were most likely unbreakable, if Lin Chichi didn’t try it herself, she would never be content.

He Ao turned his head and translated Lin Chichi’s idea to the blonde woman.

"Alright."

After listening, the blonde woman was momentarily puzzled, then nodded in agreement.

Her movements were a bit exaggerated, causing ripples of motion.

To be honest, her cleavage was the most magnificent He Ao had ever seen, Selena could hardly compare.

But what attracted He Ao’s attention more was the blonde woman’s reaction speed; she seemed to need a moment to react to everything, always a beat behind, spoke in a soft and slow voice, which made her seem somewhat less bright.

However, her mind was actually not slow.

He Ao gathered his thoughts, and after obtaining the blonde woman’s approval, he walked straight towards the dining car, with Lin Chichi and the blonde woman following behind.

As he walked forward, He Ao glanced back at compartment number one and casually asked the blonde woman, "Is anyone in compartment one?"

...

After pondering for a moment, the blonde woman slowly said, "It seems there is. He doesn’t seem to like communication much. When I got on, he peeked at me through a crack in the door, and then never showed his face again."

He, third-person male.

The Tia language distinguishes between genders.

Is compartment number one a ’secluded’ man?

"How did you find out that this car is ’alive’?"

He Ao asked softly.

"It..." The blonde paused, as usual, taking half a beat before she looked at the ceiling with some horror,

"After I got on the car, I didn’t take that door card right away but tried to get off.

"When we entered the tunnel, I didn’t go back to my compartment right away, and then I saw... both the ceiling and the corridor seemed to be writhing like snakes... I was terrified at the time, feeling like I was running inside the belly of a giant snake.

"I stayed in the compartment for a long time, constantly fearful, and didn’t open the door even when I heard you boarding... After you got on, and we passed through another tunnel... I finally adjusted myself."

This basically clarified the cause and effect.

"Hmm," He Ao pushed open the door leading from the carriage to the dining car, "for now, it seems that you won’t be attacked as long as you follow the rules."

"Hmm."

The blonde nodded cautiously.

"By the way, I don’t know your name," He Ao introduced himself slowly, "I’m Hao Yi."

"I am Jin Ya."

The blonde took a moment before she responded slowly.

"Jin Ya, that name sounds very Central Earth."

He Ao said casually, noting that Jin Ya’s pronunciation was very similar to that of Central Earth.

Then he looked behind to the other side.

Lin Chichi had by then walked back to the door of the car she had boarded, pushed hard on it, checked the lock, and then came back looking somewhat disappointed, "Brother Hao Yi, the door is locked."

"Hmm."

He Ao nodded to show he understood.

It was within his expectations.

"Is that so... Perhaps when I get out... I could go visit Central Earth."

At that moment, Jin Ya finally caught on, nodding slightly as if anticipating and pondering.

The trio didn’t stop walking and continued into the dining car.

The dining car was simply decorated, with a narrow booth-like room on the left upon entering, which was neatly arranged with small dining tables covered in tablecloths.

He Ao’s gaze first fell on the small compartment, which seemed to be enclosed by two partition walls in one corner of the car.

The wall facing the dining car door was narrower, and it had a small door without an electronic lock, but a normal doorknob.

He Ao tried to turn it, but it didn’t open; it seemed to be locked from the inside.

The three continued deeper, bypassing the narrow wall.

The other side of the compartment, a slightly longer wall, appeared in front of them, and it was much more lavishly decorated than the narrow wall.

Besides the surface decorations, a long silver countertop about a meter high was set against this wall.

The length of the countertop was about the same as the wall, with a depth of about thirty centimeters. In the middle of the countertop, against the wall, there was a square serving hatch, about forty centimeters wide.

Looking through the serving hatch into the room, there was a smaller silver stand placed right behind the hatch, seemingly where the food would be placed.

As He Ao and the others were looking at the stand, a hand in a white glove suddenly stretched out and placed itself on the stand.

"Ah!"

Lin Chichi was clearly startled.

He Ao, however, quickly realized.

This hand probably belonged to the ’Chef’ of this dining car.

He Ao was somewhat curious to see what the Chef looked like, but judging by the setup of this ’kitchen,’ it seemed they didn’t want people to see what was inside.

This ’Chef’ might not even be human.

While He Ao was pondering, a somewhat deep and husky voice came through the loudspeaker in the dining car’s ceiling,

"The menu is on the table; please order whatever you would like."

"Ah! That hand!"

At this moment, Jin Ya suddenly took a half step back.

This reflex arc... was somewhat long...

He Ao shook his head and looked at Lin Chichi.

The dining car neatly held seven small tables, each with two chairs.

These chairs were not fixed and were perfect for smashing at the windows.

Lin Chichi nodded gently to He Ao, casually grabbed a chair, and smashed it toward the glass beside her.

Her strength wasn’t great. After striking twice, the frame made a noise, but the glass remained unaffected.

Next to her, Jin Ya took out a hairband to tie up her loose golden hair, then also lifted a chair and smashed it toward the glass, still unable to move the glass at all.

He Ao also picked up a chair, went to the other side, and with just a bit of strength, banged it against the window.

There was a snap as the chair completely bent, while the glass was undamaged.

Lin Chichi, who had just made two attempts and was catching her breath, saw this and glanced at the bent chair in He Ao’s hand, then at her own chair that hadn’t even chipped the paint, and she swallowed, "So powerful..."

He Ao didn’t pay attention to Lin Chichi’s exclamation but kept his gaze on the chair in his hand.

At this time, the bent chair was slowly restoring itself at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if it had its own life.

Indeed, everything in this car seemed to have some sort of ’life’...

He then turned his gaze to the glass he had just struck. The entire pane was as smooth as new, and the beautiful scenery behind the glass was still clearly visible.

The force he had just used was enough to deform the walls inside the compartment, but it still couldn’t affect the glass in the slightest.

It appeared that the outer shell of this train had much stronger defenses than the internal partitions.

Breaking through this outer wall’s defense would be difficult.

It seems that the very center of the vortex isn’t such an easy place to stay after all.

"Your compartment is number five..."

Just as they were banging on the walls, a gentle voice speaking in the Tia language suddenly came from outside the dining car door.

Lin Chichi was taken aback. She glanced outside the window and suddenly realized that the landscape around them had come to a halt.

The train had stopped!

She rushed towards the dining car’s entrance, crossed the junction, and looked toward the rear door of the carriage.

At that moment, the door had once again been closed.

He Ao also walked over. Seeing the tightly shut door, a flicker of realization crossed his mind.

The train could interfere with the passengers’ thoughts inside, making them ’unaware’ that the train had stopped.

If one or two people didn’t notice, it could be excusable, but the fact that all three of them hadn’t noticed could no longer be described as coincidence.

He Ao shifted his gaze to the ’new passenger’ now holding the door card in his hand—a young man with brown, frizzy hair, darker skin, wearing a plaid shirt, and slightly stooped.

"Interesting,"

He examined the door card with interest, flipping it over in his hand while speaking in Tia, "Is this some new tourist route? And it’s free?"

At the same time, he raised his head to look at He Ao and Lin Chichi who were approaching.

Lin Chichi, having rushed over too quickly, stood in front of He Ao.

The man’s gaze almost immediately fell on Lin Chichi, "Hey, a pretty cute girl here."

His look was aggressive, sizing up Lin Chichi’s figure unabashedly, making no effort to hide his desire.

Lin Chichi actually had a good figure, a slim waist and long legs. Although she wasn’t tall, her proportions were near perfect; she had the kind of figure that could walk on a runway in high heels.

Seeing the man’s gaze, Lin Chichi, even though she didn’t understand what he was saying, still instinctively stepped back two steps, cautiously tugging at He Ao’s hem, "Brother Hao Yi..."

With her retreat, the man’s gaze converged on He Ao.

"Yo, kid, is this your girlfriend?"

The man smiled at He Ao, casually pocketed the door card, then pulled out a compact handgun from his pocket and pressed it against He Ao’s chest, "Lend me your girlfriend to play with for a couple of days?"

As he spoke, his gaze swept over Jin Ya standing behind He Ao, eyes landing on Jin Ya’s chest, "You’re not short on good fortune, kid. How about lending her to me for a couple of days too? All three together, I like that."

Lin Chichi, seeing the man suddenly pull out a gun, turned deathly pale with fright. She tugged at He Ao’s garment, "Brother Hao Yi, what did he say? If his demands aren’t too excessive, maybe we can agree."

He Ao didn’t respond. It had been a long time since he had encountered someone so brazen and he was slightly unaccustomed to it.

"Yo, you see, doesn’t your girlfriend seem to agree? Looks like she’s very keen to spend a wonderful night with me,"

The man chuckled, pressing the gun against He Ao’s chest and pushed forward, intending to make He Ao step back, but He Ao didn’t budge an inch.

He Ao took a deep breath, his two fingers pinched together and flicked away the man’s gun barrel.

"You people from Central Earth," the man pressed the gun barrel he had flicked away back against He Ao’s chest, "are such cheap thrash..."

He Ao twisted his body to the side, grabbed the gun with his left hand and pulled it backward to snatch the pistol. His right hand then ferociously slapped the man’s cheek,

Smack—

A crisp, thunderous slap exploded in everyone’s ears.

The man was sent flying, toppling several small tables before crashing into a large glass window. Blood-splattered teeth scattered out.

Blood spattered onto the gleaming floor and then slowly faded, merging into the floor.

"If you dare not shoot, don’t pretend to play with guns,"

He Ao took a step forward, stood in front of the man, turned off the gun’s safety, then kicked backward with his left foot and used his left hand to press the handgun against his heel, chambering a round.

He raised the gun barrel, aiming at the man, "Who’s the cheap one now?"

The man raised his head, and the left side of his face visibly swell at a rapid pace.

"Damn it,"

He cursed, trying to spit out some harsh words.

Bang—

He Ao lifted the gun slightly, and the searing bullet nearly grazed the man’s cheek, embedding itself in the transparent glass.

He quickly chambered another round, "Who’s cheap now?"

The man looked at He Ao’s smoking gun barrel in terror, gingerly touching the cheek that had almost been grazed by the bullet, as a yellowish liquid spilled out between his legs.

He shook as he slapped himself, then, feeling it was not loud enough, slapped himself again fiercely.

"I’m cheap, I’m trash, I’m both stupid and cheap..."

At that moment, Jin Ya, standing at the door, suddenly waved her fists furiously, "Scoundrel!"

Such a delayed reaction...

He Ao ejected the magazine, disengaged the chambered round, put away the bullet, and then reactivated the safety. He looked down at the man on the floor, "Would it be a problem for you if I borrowed this gun for two days?"

The man who was slapping himself on the ground paused, raised his head to look at He Ao, and nodded vigorously like a bobblehead, "No problem, no problem..."

He Ao pocketed the gun and suddenly felt a burning sensation on his back. He turned around and met Lin Chichi’s gaze.

This girl’s eyes were wide with astonishment, her little mouth slightly agape, and her hands unconsciously clenched into fists at her chest.

He Ao felt like stars were about to burst out of her eyes.

However, He Ao’s gaze didn’t linger on her face, instead, it returned to the spot where the bullet had struck the glass.

In fact, he had just conducted an experiment using that man. When he aimed the gun at the man, he distinctly felt a trace of agitation throughout the carriage, a faint sense of danger lingering around him.

It seemed that this train didn’t allow passengers to kill each other.

Or rather, it wasn’t allowed just yet; it just wasn’t the time for slaughter.

As thoughts flowed through his mind, He Ao’s gaze remained fixed on the bullet

The golden bullet, like it had hit asphalt, had only a tiny tip embedded in the glass. Then the transparent glass slowly wriggled and completely squeezed the bullet out.

This glass seemed to be more than just hard.

"Your compartment is Number 6..."

At that moment, a fluent Central Earth language suddenly rang out in He Ao’s ears.

The new passenger had arrived, Number Six!

If compartment seven was unnecessary, this should be the last passenger.

He turned around and only saw the attendant, not the new passenger, and the door to compartment six was open.

Such quick timing.

He motioned with his gaze for Lin Chichi and Jin Ya to follow him, then quickly proceeded to the door of compartment six.

The door to compartment six was open, decorated similarly to He Ao’s compartment: a small window, a wardrobe with two nightgowns hanging inside, and a shelf.

But where was the person?

The room was empty.

He Ao surveyed the entire compartment with a hint of puzzlement and was about to look elsewhere when an irritated and embarrassed voice sprang into his ear,

"Look down!"
