Sophia Jones, the experienced one, clearly saw it more clearly than he did.

…

One day later.

A hundred miles northwest of Talon Mechanical City lies a mining town called “Rose Town.”

The news of war had already spread throughout the entire East Wilderness via newspapers, causing panic to spread; many towns in the south had already become ghost towns.

Rose Town had also turned into a ghost town.

Only empty houses remained in the town, and the usually busy railway transport had come to a halt.

This, however, was convenient for Leonard Churchill and his group.

At midnight, the town’s train station was a scene of busy activity.

Mysterious figures with mechanical arms were loading precision instruments onto the train.

These were the operatives Lew Williams had arranged for support.

They would transport this batch of equipment to the Song Family’s secret base.

Seven Brown also boarded the train.

With her there, they almost didn’t have to worry about the transportation mission.

Besides, the outdoors was not the best environment for a mechanic; a fully equipped research base was the best space for her growth.

Before long, the train left the station.

Only two silhouettes stood on the platform, silently waiting in place.

Leonard Churchill and Sophia Jones had not left but were silently waiting for the next train.

After a long wait, when the pocket watch had already struck past midnight, there was still no sign of it.

Following the fall of Talon Mechanical City, all the civilian trains in the area had ceased to operate.

The train they were waiting for was clearly not a regular one.

Leonard Churchill wasn’t impatient, just very curious, “Aunt Jones, is there something special about that train?”

They were headed to City of Thieves, and it would have been faster to drive there.

But after witnessing Sophia Jones burn something resembling a ticket, which looked like a curse card, he knew this mode of transportation wasn’t ordinary.

Sophia Jones, her eyes fixed on the distant darkness, said, “I’ve only taken it once as a child, and the only impression it left on a young me was that the train was quite ‘terrifying’… Well, you’ll see.”

She seemed to recall some childhood memories but didn’t elaborate, and after a short pause, she added, “Once we’re on the train, there are many things I won’t be able to say. Be careful.”

“Mhm.”

His curiosity piqued even further by her words, Leonard Churchill vaguely guessed that if this train was specially coming to pick them up, it might be tied to some special rules of the White Family.

The White Family knew Sophia Jones was going.

This journey might not be a smooth one.

Sophia Jones knew that Leonard Churchill understood her meaning and didn’t explain further.

The two of them quietly waited for the train.

At two in the morning, amidst the dead silence of Rose Town station, suddenly rolling sounds of steam could be heard.

“Woo… Woo… Woo…”

The whistle blew eerily through the deserted town, giving off a ghostly vibe.

Suddenly, Leonard Churchill saw an old-fashioned steam train slowly approaching in the distance.

Though he had not noticed it before, the train appeared before him like a ghost, suddenly coming into view.

Leonard Churchill wasn’t taken aback, prepared for the peculiar arrival, his curiosity amplified.

However, as he watched the semi-transparent black vintage train pull into the station, it was as if he instantly understood.

“Is this train an Immortal Aegis Animal?”

Observing the Underworld Train, Leonard Churchill muttered to himself.

He wasn’t surprised because he had had a similar experience before.

During the development of the Summer Shepherd City Ruins, Leonard Churchill, Catherine Carter, and Elder Clinton had once ridden on a disaster train called Bazeks’ Ghost Train.

And this Immortal Aegis Animal train before him was named “Neon.”

What did that mean…

Lively colors in the dark of night?

Instinctively, Leonard Churchill thought back to the eerie temporal barrier he had almost been trapped in on the train.

This train wasn’t an easy ride.

Just as he was thinking this, the train pulled up to the station.

The train door opened, and a conductor dressed in a black coat and a tall hat stepped down.

As lifeless as he remembered, their features were indiscernible.

It stood at the doorway, resembling Death itself, waiting for passengers to board.

Sophia Jones glanced at Leonard Churchill beside her: “Hmm?”

Leonard Churchill responded with a smile.

The two boarded the train with composed expressions.
