Chapter 878: Chapter 536: Ruhua Village
Li Changhe didn’t let the Earth Knight continue driving, instead, he planned to disguise himself with He Feng before getting off and heading to their destination.
The rendezvous point agreed upon with Moon God was none other than Luoshan Town, situated beneath this highway.
According to Moon God, his teammate had made contact with a train passenger who visited Luoshan Town every dozen days or so.
They surmised that the train platform was likely located in this area.
The train tickets in Li Changhe and He Feng’s hands also reacted when they were within a dozen kilometers of the town.
A twistable arrow appeared on the tickets, indicating the next train’s arrival time as 11 points at night the day after tomorrow.
This called for caution.
Now that they had confirmed this was the platform and the train was soon to arrive,
there might be other passengers drawing near, or perhaps some had already entered Luoshan Town.
The Earth Knight’s truck was too conspicuous after all; if the players here noticed anything, they might investigate further and potentially implicate him.
After all, the girl and Chen Yu said that certain platforms were controlled by player organizations. Their influence was neither too small nor too large, but the danger lay in their unpredictability.
The Earth Knight kindly assisted Li Changhe, and Li Changhe didn’t want to drag him into trouble. If these player organizations got a firm grip on them, it wouldn’t be a good thing.
"Do you need me to standby nearby?" the Earth Knight asked, watching the two get out of the truck. He could still drive in if there was an emergency.
"No need, we don’t even know where we’ll be getting off at that time. You head back first, and send my regards to your wife," responded Li Changhe.
Even if they triggered some real-world task, they had plenty of ways to extricate themselves from the battlefield.
"Alright, see you then. Remember to bring back some local specialties if you can," the Earth Knight said as he nodded and turned the truck around to leave.
Li Changhe and He Feng then disguised their faces with Mimetic Clay and makeup skills, put on sunglasses, and carried backpacks.
They also applied some dust on themselves to look disheveled, masquerading as backpackers who had been traveling for many days.
After that, the two rode their bicycles towards Luoshan Town.
To distinguish passengers in time, Li Changhe strapped the Startling Bell to his wrist.
The effect of the Startling Bell was that it would sound if a new passenger came within a hundred meters.
The stronger the approaching person, the more frequent the bell would ring. It was a sort of identification and alert gadget.
However, this alert gadget wasn’t very effective against the Insect God Vest. It could only identify passengers but not their strength.
Otherwise, the Scarred Woman and the man with heterochromia wouldn’t have dared to appear before Li Changhe. It was the Insect God Vest that had misled the Startling Bell.
The two rode their bicycles, observing the increasingly desolate scenery around them.
They could only occasionally see a few houses along the way, and the road wasn’t very busy with traffic either.
"That’s right, only in such remote places can those guys maintain platforms without being noticed. If it wasn’t for Moon God’s contact with the passenger, even with a ticket, it probably would have taken us several months to find this place," He Feng said. "How do you think he got this information?"
"Ugh... I’d rather not think about it," Li Changhe responded. "After all, as you know, some passengers hunt players to trade their Magic Eyes, and there aren’t many good people involved. I’ve encountered two groups of train passengers myself, and they were no good at all. They’re bastards who deserve to be shot for ten minutes straight. And the Moon God has a strong sense of justice, so the fate of that passenger in his hands won’t be good."
The first time Li Changhe met train passengers, it was at a sanatorium. They had harmed some people who had disappeared from society, filling the sanatorium with resentment and thus creating a platform. One of them even killed a mother who had lost her child, turning her into a Demon Mother. Their cruelty was shocking.
The second time was the previous encounter with the man with heterochromia and the Scarred Woman. They used the Startling Bell to locate Li Changhe and planned to take away his player identity. The asking price was 20 million, haha...
These two encounters left Li Changhe without a shred of goodwill towards the passengers, especially those who were the earliest to become passengers, those whose hands were stained with blood.
"That makes sense," He Feng responded. "So, if a conflict with them breaks out, there’s no need to hold back."
"That’s the idea. However, they’ll probably be careful with passengers and won’t easily provoke conflict. Besides, even you and I would have to run if facing too many players of the same stage," Li Changhe thought and decided it was best to avoid coordinated attacks from enemy players.
Then, in [Friends], he asked the Moon God, "Moon God, we’re about ten kilometers from the town, approaching by bike under the guise of backpackers."
"Good on you, big guy, you’re cautious enough," the Moon God responded quickly. "I’m already settled in a village on the edge of the town. I’ll give you the address; just come over later to meet up."
"Okay, see you in a bit," Li Changhe glanced at the message and couldn’t help but praise, "Ruhua Village? Nice name."
...
Meanwhile, Zhao Jiu drove to the crossroads of Luoshan Town.
In the dark, one could see her eyes emitting a cold, faint glow.
Those were her Innate Yin-Yang Eye, or as the players called it, the Yin Yang Demon’s Eye.
These eyes could see Mysterious Species, Demon Beast Species, and even the ripples of the Spirit World under certain enhancements.
In the incident with the Dream Cruise, it was her eyes that traced the cruise’s path, allowing Chen Guang to shatter it with a single sword.
At the moment, in her vision, a thin line of Black Fog that was rapidly dissipating lingered in mid-air.
This was the trace left behind by the previously encountered Chang Ghost. Only through her eyes could one see the traces left by a Mysterious Species so vividly.
After confirming the direction, Zhao Jiu quickly glanced at the map and steered the wheel toward the left fork in the road.
She needed to find the middle-aged man who had been haunted by the Chang Ghost quickly, or someone would lose their life soon.
Even in Mr. All-known’s and the official database, records about Chang Ghosts are scarce.
Because of the unique abilities of Chang Ghosts, they have to leave Ghost Eels and secretly cling to others.
If they don’t achieve their goal for a long time or return to the Ghost Eel, they will completely dissipate.
Given the situation just now, either the Chang Ghost had just possessed someone, or there was a Ghost Eel of the Chang Ghosts nearby.
Zhao Jiu quickly checked her equipment and Skills, then twisted the steering wheel and turned into the fork in the road.
"Don’t worry, I’ll definitely save you," Zhao Jiu murmured to herself for encouragement.
And beside the fork in the road stood the sign for ’Ruhua Village’.
