Chapter 1929: Chapter 1094:
"Miss Takagi, don’t... don’t joke like that." Hearing Takagi Reina’s low laughter, Yamamoto Chunai’s face turned pale.
"Don’t take it seriously, Miss Takagi is just joking." Sensing that the atmosphere was off, Yang Xiao stepped in to offer a conciliatory remark.
They had enough trouble tonight, and Yang Xiao didn’t want any more complications.
Since there was no car, and unwilling to take the train, the four of them eventually took a taxi to Central Renhe Station, which is the station before Rinbawari Shrine Station.
According to Xiao Lin Zhengyan and their companions, it was here where their group boarded the train last night.
After reaching their destination, the four did not immediately enter the station. Instead, they found a street-side ramen stall nearby to fill their stomachs first.
"Hey, who do you think will receive the ghost train ticket tonight?" Takagi Reina, after a satisfying meal, was swirling her beer bottle and turned to look at Yang Xiao.
"It’s uncertain, but I think Watanabe Gou and Yandeta Chiyoda have the highest possibility." After all, these two had boarded the ghost train, making Yang Xiao’s guess quite targeted.
Takagi Reina nodded, "Yes, these two are naturally the most dangerous, which is also the main reason Watanabe Gou is unwilling to board again. But besides them, there’s one more person."
"Sakai Misaki." After a sigh, Yang Xiao said, "Last night she was briefly influenced by that water ghost, which might bring her dreadful consequences."
Takagi Reina preferred dealing with smart people; what Yang Xiao thought, she also thought. Even though they still couldn’t link the ghost train, water ghost, and the unknown fierce ghost that killed Suzuki Takashi, it was certain that there was a connection among the three.
With time still on their side, Yang Xiao meticulously interrogated Xiao Lin Zhengyan and his companion again, and then he cross-verified all known information about the ghost train with Takagi Reina for tonight’s preparations.
In Yang Xiao’s dictionary, there was no such thing as luck; he was very certain that he would also board that ghost train tonight.
Seeing Yamamoto Chunai looking at him with a slightly sorrowful gaze, Yang Xiao couldn’t help but frown, "What, do you have something to say?"
Yamamoto Chunai pursed her lips, instinctively looked around, and seeing no one paying attention to them, she spoke in a low voice: "Mr. Chu, Miss Takagi, that train is too dangerous. You are good people, I don’t want anything to happen to you. If... if you don’t want to go, we can discuss it; Mr. Xiaolin and I are more than willing to help you prove."
"We appreciate your good intention. You want to help us falsify evidence and then have us find a place to hide tonight, avoiding the train altogether, don’t you?" Yang Xiao shook his head, "Forget it, not to mention wasting the opportunity, besides... what do you think those guys are? You think they’ll just believe it?" freeweɓnovel.cøm
"But obviously, you guys haven’t really vetted what Yandeta Chiyoda said for truth." Yamamoto Chunai insisted.
Hearing this, Takagi Reina became somewhat impatient, "Why don’t you understand, the selected people last night weren’t just Yandeta Chiyoda; there was also Hirano Yuuhi. Hirano Yuuhi was dead on the train! Who would question the authenticity of this matter?"
"Moreover, last night you made such a fuss, everyone knows that you two don’t get along with Watanabe Gou and Yandeta Chiyoda. You’ve already confirmed their presence on the train, what is left to doubt?"
"Tonight is completely different, anyone can see that Chu Xi and I are looking out for you, does your testimony carry any credibility?" Takagi Reina said all at once.
Yang Xiao and Takagi Reina never intended to avoid their fate, not solely because they wanted to take up the responsibility, but because there’s simply no escape.
Yandeta Chiyoda and Watanabe Gou would undoubtedly keep a close eye on them. If they failed to appear, there would certainly be extremely harsh scrutiny. freewebnøvel.com
These two had personally experienced the horrors of the ghost train; they’re informed, so just raising a few simple questions would force them to reveal their weaknesses.
In missions, shirking responsibility and harming teammates are unforgivable.
Messing with these little tricks would bring boundless trouble in the future.
Although Yamamoto Chunai’s proposal wasn’t realistic, Yang Xiao didn’t blame her, even voluntarily comforted her, as it was well-intended.
Yamamoto Chunai may lack the capability, but she had a good heart and knew how to show gratitude. Yang Xiao was always willing to help those like her.
Time passed quickly. At 10 o’clock sharp, Yang Xiao and Takagi Reina boarded the train at Central Renhe Station, and by then, they hadn’t received any notification messages from their teammates.
"It’s Yandeta Chiyoda, or it’s Watanabe Gou, be careful tonight." Yang Xiao cautiously turned off his phone, removed the battery, dismantled it, and put it in his pocket.
Takagi Reina also supported Yang Xiao’s judgment, as there were only three most likely selected tonight. Except for those two, there was still one Sakai Misaki.
But if Sakai Misaki received the ghost train ticket, Kato Shinjiro would probably inform them; not by calling, but sending them a message, after all, their lives were worth more than Sakai Misaki’s.
Additionally, there was a more realistic reason: Sakai Misaki had been influenced by the water ghost, who knows what irreversible harm that might have caused her.
Like perhaps planting a curse, the water ghost could directly sense her hiding place, leaving Sakai Misaki to him would be like a ticking bomb.
Using her to exchange for personal favors with Takagi Reina, this deal is definitely worth it.
