Chapter 195: Gate of Cassel
Standing in the bustling crowd, Mu Qingzhi looked up at the church-like dome of the Chicago train station above her head with a dull look at the train ticket in her hand.
... She suddenly felt a little regretful.
From China to abroad, she took a plane, a bus, and jet lag, plus the motion sickness buff she had on her body. After two days and one night of tossing, she felt that she was about to burn out.
However, compared with her, Xia Mi and Lu Mingfei, who were traveling with her, were in good spirits.
Xia Mi ran to buy Coke and fried chicken, while Lu Mingfei stood in the corner guarding the suitcases. There were four suitcases on the left and right, and three backpacks were hung on his body at the same time.
To outsiders, Lu Mingfei was acting as a flower protector, and he was the only one to carry the suitcases and backpacks, but in fact, most of the things in them were his own.
With the ring, Mu Qingzhi and Xia Mi didn't need any luggage, so they simply packed a few clothes into the suitcase, and then each of them carried a bag.
But Lu Mingfei's words were extremely exaggerated.
When they went to pick up Lu Mingfei, Lu Mingfei gave them the feeling that he seemed to be moving. He brought a brand new quilt that had just been made, and he also stuffed a pressure cooker in his backpack, and even brought a sack of potatoes, bacon and eggs...
The weight of the full set of equipment was almost heavier than him.
There were four suitcases, Xia Mi and Mu Qingzhi only took one, and Lu Mingfei took the backpack, but it was not heavy.
"... How about sitting on the suitcase?"
Looking at the girl leaning against the wall with a little dull eyes, Lu Mingfei spoke after a little hesitation.
"If you still get carsick, I have carsickness medicine in my pocket."
There were quite a lot of people in the Chicago train station, and they came late, so there was no place for them to sit, so they could only stand in the corner so sadly.
"It's useless. I asked. I was infected with the motion sickness meme. There is no cure."
Mu Qingzhi sighed, leaned against the wall, and squatted down by the wall.
"That's an infection at the bottom rule level. How can a small motion sickness medicine relieve this symptom? It doesn't exist. You will still get sick."
Lu Mingfei: "..."
... He really couldn't keep up with the girl's train of thought.
"I'm here. Sorry for the long wait!"
Just then, Xia Mi's noisy voice came from the side.
Carrying several bags and three large cups of iced cola, the girl with a single ponytail squeezed through the crowd and came to them.
"The time we came here is very bad. This time is the time when the Chicago train station has the most people. But if you wait patiently for about half an hour, there will be an empty seat. Don't worry, it will be quick."
Handing a cup of iced cola to Mu Qingzhi, who was almost fainting, Xia Mi spoke to comfort her.
"I bought fried chicken burgers, fries and sandwiches. Let's eat something to replenish our energy."
...To be honest, she didn't understand him.
The White King, who controls the spiritual power, would actually get carsick to this extent. This is probably the funniest joke in the world...But the other party didn't pretend on purpose. There was no need to fake that kind of discomfort, so this was very strange.
"………"
Without any intention of replying, after drinking a sip of ice cola to barely replenish her energy, Mu Qingzhi nodded weakly.
………………………………………………
As Xia Mi said, half an hour later, the crowd in the train station became sparse at a speed visible to the naked eye.
However, when they successfully found a seat and Lu Mingfei took the ticket to find the CC1000 express train, they made a mistake.
——There is no such express train at the train station.
"CC1000 Express? I haven't heard of it... The ticket looks real, but there is no such express train here."
After checking the ticket over and over for a while, the young attendant scratched his head and handed over a timetable with a hint of hot dogs.
"This is the new version of the train timetable, which contains all the information about the trains in Chicago Railway Station. Why don't you go back and check it carefully?"
...But Lu Mingfei looked at the timetable over and over again for more than a dozen times, but he didn't find any information from it.
"Entrance exam, I understand this."
Reaching out to adjust the glasses that he had put on without knowing when, Xia Mi's eyes flashed with a light called wisdom.
"Like these colleges, they always like to come up with some inexplicable tests to test students. It's the same old routine. If I'm not mistaken, this should be a test similar to solving a puzzle."
"Solve the puzzle..."
"Yes, there is only one truth, trust my intuition."
She interrupted Lu Mingfei who was still a little hesitant, and with her arms around her chest, Xia Mi looked like she had seen through everything.
"If I'm not mistaken, the answer to the puzzle should be hidden in the envelope Norma sent us. As long as we can solve the puzzle, we can successfully find the hidden CC1000 express train!!"
--The words of a certain dragon king were full of confidence.
"………"
Looking at the two people who had really taken out the envelope and carefully searched for clues, after a little silence, Mu Qingzhi silently took out her mobile phone from her pocket and called Ange.
"The train hasn't arrived yet?"
On the other end of the phone, Ange looked surprised.
"You said before that you were carsick, so I specially sent someone to pick you up by helicopter. Didn't you receive the call?"
"………"
Looking at the dozens of missed calls displayed on the phone, Mu Qingzhi was speechless.
In this case, when she took a car to the Chicago train station, it seemed that there was indeed a phone ringing on the road...
"…I am still a little afraid of heights, so I decided to take the train."
Anger: "………"
"…How about this, I will temporarily dispatch a train to pick you up."
Pressing his forehead hard with his hand, Ange answered in a calm tone as much as possible.
"But if it's a temporary arrangement, the time of arrival may be a little late. You may have to wait at the train station for about a day, is that okay?"
"...Okay."
After thinking about it for a while, Mu Qingzhi nodded reluctantly.
"But if possible, I still hope you can hurry up."
"Don't worry, I will urge you here, you will only arrive early, not late."
Walking to the window and looking at the scenery outside the window, Angers rubbed his eyebrows.
"Also, when you get to school, come to my place first."
"...Someone has been wanting to see you for a long time."
