Her personality is the opposite of Jiang Xiao's; unless she is in dire straits, she always plays a "safe" game.
According to Nako's thinking, the most urgent task now should be to find the train driver or the locomotive.
Jiang Xiao's hand froze in mid-air, his heart filled with struggle.
He knew Naoko was right, but deep down, a voice told him that perhaps he could do something, perhaps he could change the fate of these two shadows.
"Forget it, since this strange tale involves Shi Shi, I'd better not meddle in other people's business for now."
Anyway, the shadow is right here and can't escape; I can come back anytime.
Finally, he withdrew his hand and turned to look at Naoko.
Her eyes remained closed, but her expression revealed a hint of relief.
Just then, the train emerged from the long tunnel, and the dazzling sunlight streamed through the windows into the carriage, as if instantly dispelling all the gloom.
The eerie dance stopped, and the passengers returned to normal. Those who wanted to sleep continued to sleep, and those who wanted to chat resumed their conversations, as if nothing had happened.
As for shadows
Naturally, they all disappeared as well.
Just then, the ticket inspector appeared.
She was followed by a group of strong and professional security guards.
Jiang Xiao and Nai Zi exchanged a glance, both realizing the trouble that was about to come.
They tried to relax their bodies, not wanting the ticket inspectors to notice anything unusual about them.
This time, the ticket inspector was clearly different from the lazy one he had been before.
Her steps were nimble, and her eyes were fixed firmly on Jiang Xiao and Nai Zi.
The security guards following behind also looked serious, and the stun guns in their hands emitted a low buzzing sound from time to time, which sounded particularly jarring in the quiet carriage.
The passengers in the carriage all shrank their necks and dared not speak.
"ticket."
Upon approaching Jiang Xiao, the ticket inspector's voice was crisp and clear, devoid of any emotional fluctuation.
Jiang Xiao subconsciously reached into his clothes, but his movements froze instantly.
The tickets are gone?
Because he had been following Naiko, Jiang Xiao hadn't paid attention to the ticket situation, so he didn't know that the ticket on the chosen one would automatically disappear in less than half an hour.
"Uh," Jiang Xiao gave an awkward smile, "Um, could you give me two minutes, no, one minute? I'll go borrow one right here?"
The ticket inspector replied coldly, "What do you think?"
"he is my friend!"
Naoko stepped forward, blocking Jiang Xiao's path.
"Lingzi, please give me face and let it go this time, okay?"
The ticket inspector shook her head; clearly, she wasn't going to give Nako any special treatment.
Chapter 485 The Power to Move an Entire Train
"I'm sorry, Naoko, rules are rules. You've been running around with this man for so long, I haven't checked on him for two hours!"
Naoko frowned; she hadn't expected Reiko to be so disrespectful.
Although they weren't exactly best friends, they had spent so much time together in the same ghost story that they developed a certain understanding and mutual support.
Especially in front of Jiang Xiao, Naizi's face flashed with anger after being humiliated, but it was quickly replaced by embarrassment.
“Reiko, you know that sometimes rigid rules can harm your own people.”
Naoko's voice was somewhat cold and hard. She looked at Reiko with displeasure, a barely perceptible warning flashing in her eyes.
Reiko, however, seemed not to see Naoko's gaze; her face remained that of a bureaucratic indifference.
"Heh, don't you understand me? Rules are rules, and there can be no exceptions in the world of ghost stories. If he doesn't have a ticket, he has to be handed over to security!"
Hey!
Naoko cursed inwardly, thinking that handing her over to the security guards would just mean certain death.
Naoko gritted her teeth. She knew that Reiko was a person who valued rules above all else, but she didn't expect her to be so inflexible.
She took a deep breath and tried to calm her voice.
"Lingzi, you know I'm not the kind of person who would make a fuss for no reason. Jiang Xiao is a very important friend of mine. Please, this time I'm begging you, don't do it again, okay?"
Reiko's gaze wavered slightly. She looked at Naoko, then at Jiang Xiao, as if weighing something.
But in the end, he shook his head.
"Sorry, I was also assigned a task. I have to check if he has any tickets on him today!"
Ok? !
Naoko's eyes widened.
Reiko actually received a mission?
Are there people on this train with higher ranks than them?
Why didn't she know?
But no matter how much she asked, Lingzi kept her mouth shut and never revealed who had given her the task.
Naoko gritted her teeth. If all else failed, she wouldn't mind using her looks to win over the security guards!
However, judging from Reiko's confident demeanor, she probably has a backup plan.
'Snapped! '
The tense atmosphere was suddenly broken by a loud slap.
All eyes turned sharply to the direction of the sound, where Jiang Xiao stood in front of Lingzi, his hand still suspended in the air.
Lingzi covered her face in disbelief, blood slowly trickling down her fingers from her nose.
"I...you...this is fucking..."
The air inside the carriage seemed to freeze, and the buzzing of the security guards' stun guns stopped. No one could believe what they were seeing.
There was no hesitation on Jiang Xiao's face; his eyes were cold, as if his actions just now were nothing more than a matter of course to him.
"Enough!" His voice was deep and powerful. "I've had enough of this pointless nonsense. You bitch, you want to check tickets, huh? Fine, then come and check! I'm standing right here, come on!"
Lingzi covered her face, her eyes filled with a mixture of anger and humiliation.
But under Jiang Xiao's wise gaze, she didn't immediately retaliate.
The security guards reacted quickly, raising their stun guns and surrounding Jiang Xiao.
But Jiang Xiao showed no sign of backing down; his eyes gleamed with defiance.
Naoko was stunned. She hadn't expected Jiang Xiao to do this, but at the same time, a strange sense of relief welled up in her heart.
Jiang Xiao is a decisive person, sometimes even a bit reckless, but his decisiveness always provides support at crucial moments.
Reiko seemed to realize that the man in front of her was not someone to be trifled with, so she did not step forward immediately.
However, the security guards had already come within three meters of Jiang Xiao.
Seeing the electric baton crackling incessantly, Jiang Xiao advanced instead of retreating, a smug smile spreading across his face.
"You have a stun gun, and so do I. Why don't you ask me if you're afraid of me?!"
Electromagnetic rotation!
Suddenly, the air inside the carriage was filled with a strong electromagnetic wave.
At that moment, it was as if all the metal objects had come to life and began to tremble wildly.
The spot where Jiang Xiao stood seemed to be the eye of the storm, with blue and white electromagnetic forces flashing around him.
Perhaps it was because of the train that the electromagnetic field here was more intense than ever before.
In particular, the carriages are not only small and there is no way to avoid them, but they are also filled with conductive materials.
If Jiang Xiao hadn't managed to control the electromagnetic force at the crucial moment, the train would have almost been split in two.
The security guards were stunned. Under the powerful electromagnetic force, their stun guns were no longer a threat, but rather a constraint.
The weapons in their hands began to vibrate uncontrollably, then flew out of their grasp one by one, hitting the walls of the carriage with dull thuds.
Immediately afterwards, one by one they were jerked back up like shrimp by the electric shock, fell to the ground and convulsed.
Nako and the other passengers were caught completely off guard. Under the influence of electromagnetic forces, their bodies were tossed around irregularly like weightless objects.
Naoko's body slammed against the side of the carriage, and she bit her lip in pain, but she was shocked by Jiang Xiao's actions.
This kid.
How could it be so abnormally strong?!
Can one person overturn a train?
