Chapter 42: Explosive Last Train

The bodies hanging from the hoops and the bodies of the other passengers in the carriage stayed in place, not attacking him, the flames blazing through Du Sanying's hair, a little hot, but without the real It was a little hot, but without the real texture of flame.

Bai Liu smiled kindly at Du Sanying, "Hello, my name is Bai Liu, I am one of the players of this game."

Du Sanying held out his hand a little awkwardly, "Well, hello, my name is Du Sanying ......"

Mu Sicheng looked at Du Sanying with an expression of surprise, as if he hadn't expected Du Sanying to be in this game, but he soon grunted, hugged his chest and smiled coldly, as if he hadn't seen him, and didn't say hello.

Du Sanying seemed to have expected this from Mu Sicheng and his smile grew more and more embarrassed as he cowered in the corner, barely saying a word, before finally being unable to hold his tongue and asking, " Bai Liu, how do you ...... know that the car will not be attacked? "

"These should just be a simple transitional animation." Bai Liu analyses. Bai Liu analyzed, "Since we haven't got the first mission that gives points, which means the game hasn't officially started yet, then these are probably just to scare the player, and to explain the background of the story, and won't really kill the player."

After that, Bai Liu looked at Mu Sicheng and Du Sanying, who were clearly at odds with each other, and turned to Mu Sicheng, who hadn't said a word since Du Sanying had arrived: "What, do you have a grudge against this Du Sanying boy? "

Mu Sicheng gave Du Sanying a cold, hostile glance that left him with no place to put his hands and feet, cowering a little helplessly behind a burning corpse as he peeked at their conversation.

Du Sanying doesn't look very tall, half a head shorter than Bai Liu, and his thick bottle-cap eyes and thin, small frame make him look like an over-prepared senior, giving off that strong, harmless nerd vibe that makes people like Bai Liu call Du Sanying "little friend".

"You'll know if you play Du Sanying once." Mu Sicheng seemed to remember something that had upset him, and the lollipop in his mouth creaked, "This one has a luck value of one hundred, and no matter how hard you try, he ends up being number one in the game, taking away your winning results in all sorts of ways you wouldn't expect."

Du Sanying's small TV audience instantly burst into laughter.

" God Mu isn't remembering the last multiplayer game where the little parrot picked up his slack and came first."

"That's not called picking up by the little parrot, that's called a heavenly delivery, he didn't even bend down to pick it up, it was God Mu himself who came and delivered it, I must say God Mu's delivery service is still spot on."

......

"So Du Sanying, this guy, even though he's third on the Rising Stars list, doesn't even know information like [opening animation]." Mu Sicheng snorted, "Because this guy is lying all the way to the top and has no game sense at all, I advise you not to deal with him, otherwise all the clearance props, messages and such you collect will end up in his hands somehow."

"He's lucky, but everyone near him is unlucky, and every time a player is in a game with Du Sanying, their luck drops to some degree."

Mu Sicheng says this as if he despises Du Sanying for not even daring to get on the train, but in fact Mu Sicheng was shocked when Bai Liu calmly pulled him onto the burning train, and it was only when Bai Liu said that they hadn't received their points yet and that the opening was probably just an It was only after Bai Liu said that they hadn't received their points yet and that the opening was probably just an animation effect that Mu Sicheng realised.

It's not often that players think of opening animations, and even when they do, they don't dare to get on board with such certainty, but only Bai Liu dares to do so without hesitation.

Bai Liu is a gambling man, if it wasn't illegal to gamble this man would probably do it, he is a man who guesses that there is about an 80% chance of success and then dares to try 100%.

Mu Sicheng would never have been so honest as to get into a car with the bold Bai Liu, but now he has not yet understood this attribute of Bai Liu's and is easily fooled by Bai Liu's very certain expression.

That said, Muzi continues to explain Du Sanying to Bai Liu.

"No." Mu Sicheng opened the game manager and showed Bai Liu his luck panel, his face began to sink, "My luck has dropped from 56 to 43, tsk, Du Sanying is getting more and more deadly, Bai Liu, your luck will also be affected by the drop... ..."

Bai Liu silently exchanged a glance with Mu Sicheng: "What, you can still have negative luck attributes in this game?"

Mu Sicheng: "......"

Fuck, he forgot Bai Liu only has 0 luck.

Du Sanying saw Mu Sicheng explaining to Bai Liu about his ability to make people's luck drop, and seemed to be aware of his ability to make people uncomfortable.

All the burning corpses in the carriage suddenly turned into normal passengers, heads turning in unison, smiling eerily at Bai Liu and then disappearing into ashes as the female voice in the carriage announced sweetly, "Passengers, welcome aboard Line 4, next stop - Mirror City Museum. "

Bai Liu turned his head to notice the LED countdown light sign on the underground station, which became [60:00] again after clearing.

The one-hour countdown, Bai Liu mused, was about the time it took for a train to go from the starting station to the end station, and it looked like the explosion would happen in an hour.

Bai Liu remembers that in the Mirror City bombing, the prototype for the game called "The Last Train", the explosion took place at the Mirror City Museum, the underground station where he got off at the last stop, but in reality the last stop was not the Antique City where Bai Liu got on the train, nor was the underground line designed to wrap around the city in a circle.

Bai Liu was also on the last train, together with Lu Yizhan.

He was supposed to get off a few stops behind Mirror City, but Lu Yizhan had to drag Bai Liu off with him on short notice, otherwise Bai Liu, who was equally unlucky both inside and outside the game, would have been blown to bits in the Mirror City bombing.

The Mirror City bombing happened when two thieves stole a valuable antique mirror, pretending to be its owner, and said they wanted it donated to the local museum in Bai Liu, but only if they were personally escorted into the museum.

The antique mirror was said to be worth over a hundred million dollars, and it is not often that the museum receives such a large donation, so it agreed to some small, somewhat unreasonable requests.

Bai Liu's city is called Mirror City and the name of the museum is Mirror City Museum. The real purpose of the two thieves is to rob the museum's collection by transporting antique mirrors backstage and then threatening to rob the museum with a bomb hidden in the mirrors.

The museum had to send someone to accompany them, but in the process of transporting the antique mirror, a bomb hidden inside the mirror exploded, killing almost everyone in the carriage, including the two thieves and the museum commissioner who was escorting the antique mirror. Almost everyone on that carriage died instantly, including the two thieves and the museum commissioner who was escorting it.

Shortly after the death of the two thieves, their crime of stealing an antique mirror and trying to rob a museum collection came to light and, after much discussion, it was finally concluded that it was a terrorist theft and put to rest.

Bai Liu and Lu Yizhan discussed the huge bombing they had passed by afterwards, and they agreed that the whole case was still full of suspicions, with two main points.

First: how did these two thieves manage to get enough explosives to blow up an entire carriage through security and transport it onto the underground, hidden in a mirror.

Secondly: the two thieves had staged the bombing for money, so why did the two thieves so generously donate the antique mirror, which was worth a fortune, to the Mirror Town Museum?

As far as Bai Liu knows, the Mirror City Museum's collection is not appraised at a higher value than this mirror, and if the thieves were after money, they could have sold the antique mirror privately themselves, rather than going to the trouble of transporting it into the Mirror City Museum and then looting its contents.

Such an operation would be too cost effective, and by such a stupidly risky means as bombs, which appear, the two thieves would not be able to get away at all after the theft even if one of them was not injured.

When Bai Liu and Lu Yizhan were talking about the bombing, Bai Liu said that if he wanted to rob the museum, he would have sold the antique mirrors, bribed the guards with a high price to let him in and then killed the guards and framed them for the theft, so that he could make a clean job of it and delay it so that he could run away and sell the stolen goods outside the country.

Lu Yizhan was speechless when he heard Bai Liu's analysis and said, "Bai Liu, I asked you about this bombing case because I wanted you to give me ideas on how to solve the case, not to put yourself in the shoes of the perpetrator and think of a more perfect way to commit the crime!

Bai Liu then insincerely apologised, saying that he was sorry and that I would only think in terms of those with the highest vested interests.

Lu Yizhan said he was outraged and accused Bai Liu, saying that with this kind of thinking, you're going to have a big problem one day!

Now the question arises, Bai Liu is in the game of "Bursting Last Train" and he needs to think about why these two stupid thieves would do such a stupid thing.

Bai Liu's eyes narrowed and his mind raced - these two thieves did not want to travel in a small space like a car and be alone with the mirror, these two thieves preferred a public transport like the underground where there were many people and were not afraid to damage the mirror by hiding huge amounts of explosives inside the valuable mirror.

It is clearly against the thief's nature to enrich himself that he would prefer to exchange this mirror for other items in the museum's collection rather than offer it up -

In summary, Bai Liu can draw the obvious conclusion - the two thieves were afraid of the mirror.

The two thieves did not dare to stay alone in the car with the mirror, a 100 million mirror, the two thieves may have struck the mirror, but for some reason did not succeed, [the mirror] returned to their hands, the two thieves only under the collapse pretended to be the owner seeking the authority of the museum, hoping that they could [donate], or rather [hold] the mirror.

The two thieves even frantically stuffed the mirror with explosives in order to destroy it, but even after all the things the two thieves did to try to get rid of the mirror, something unfortunate happened - the mirror exploded on the underground.

So, if Bai Liu is correct, the key to this game is not this last train that's about to burst, nor these burned-out passengers, nor the names of the underground stations that the messy Du Sanying is coming close to ogle -

-- but the mirror.

[Congratulations to player Bai Liu for first triggering the main quest - Collect the broken lenses from the last train (0/)]
