Chapter 62 Missing

"Ladies and gentlemen, can we help?" As soon as the six young men and women who broke into the bar stood, a bar waiter greeted him. The waiters in the entire Orient Express were all professionals who had been trained and would usually wait quietly like the background, and would never interfere with the choices and ideas of the guests. Only when the guests made a request will they emerge from the background and meet the reasonable requirements of the guests as soon as possible.

Of course, there are exceptions, that is, they will take the initiative to ask when they find that the guest obviously needs help, just like now.

Although the young men and women were dressed neatly and showed no signs of injury, they could tell at a glance that their duties were at their own eyes. Of course, they had to come forward to ask. However, when inquiring, the waiters in the bar were also confused. There were passengers' rooms on both sides of the bar, and each room had at least two service staff on standby for 24 hours and would never leave their posts without permission. If they were in trouble, the waiters in the box would not turn a blind eye and let them run to the bar for help.

"Did you, have you seen someone?"

"So tall, so thin, with messy hair like a bird's nest."

"Male, male."

"Yes, man, there's a mole on his face."

“The voice is hoarse and very unpleasant.”

“No beard.”

"I was here just now, but in a blink of an eye, the person was gone."

"We can't find it everywhere, and we're scolded."

There was a mess of people, everyone was making a sound, but the content was almost unrealistic, and they were completely thinking about what they said. For a moment, the door of the bar was in a mess, and no one could figure out what was going on.

"Hey, it's so lively." The crow just glanced casually and withdrew his gaze, holding the wine glass and saying leisurely, "Where is the train now?"

"I have left the city limit of Kaiton, but I haven't walked away yet." The bartender lowered his head and pressed the equipment in the bar a few times, then turned around and opened the curtains and looked out the window. "Well, that's right, I just entered the wilderness of Kaiton, and the people who took the ride-hailing ride were still following, and there was no one behind for the time being."

"If I remember correctly, there will be six stops in total." The crow held his chin and stared at the rolling smoke and dust raised by the convoys outside. "The first stop will take two days to arrive, the second stop will be three days, and the next four stops are relatively close, one stop a day."

“To be precise, the first stop is two days and eleven hours.”

"Isn't it better to set up a few more stops?" asked the crow calmly, "And why is the distance between the two stops so long?"

"There is no way, the tracks of the Orient Express are of special specifications, and other trains cannot be used. Moreover, their nature is quite special. In order to reduce trouble, they simply avoided most cities and only stopped in a few important cities." This level of intelligence is like common sense for the bartender, and he answered without thinking, "As for the distance issue... no matter how you whitewash the route, it is essentially maintained to communicate the two major factions and some intermediate factions. The six stops it stops are all the territories of the more important factions along the way. Through these six stops, it can basically cover the entire steam continent without barriers. The first part of the journey was in the church-controlled area. You just want to go and take other trains, and there is no need to take the Orient Express."

"I understand." The crow nodded, "But what if something goes wrong on the road with such a long drive?"

“Hmm? For example?”

"For example..." The crow raised his chin at the chaotic crowd, "For example, someone lost it, or... someone died, it was impossible that similar problems had not occurred in the car before."

"There are many guards on the train, and there are strong people in charge. If a passenger has a head-on conflict, they will try to stop it. If neither side accepts dissuasion, they will record and notify the forces behind both sides to resolve the issue. If they have no time or are powerless to stop it, they will deal with it in the same way. If it is a secret murder, they will come forward to find the murderer. Even if the murderer is not found, they will be strictly guarded to prevent someone from being killed again. After the station, people from the local official agency will be invited to check with the train." After operating for so many years, Orient Express naturally has a set of ways to deal with emergencies. "I know what you want to ask, but the train will not change the schedule for this. This is a custom, no matter what the person in question is."

"So rash?"

"It's not rash, but it's impossible to affect everyone's itinerary for individual time with a low probability." The bartender said seriously. "Besides, don't underestimate the security work of the train. There are people guarding every box, and there are surveillance facilities in the corridor. No matter what the purpose is, it's hard not to be discovered when going to other people's boxes. Unless you kill the waiters and monitoring equipment, that is undoubtedly equivalent to declaring war with all the forces supporting the Eastern Express. It will be jointly attacked by all forces and have nowhere to hide. Until now, no one dares to do such stupid things."

"What if someone really dares?"

"Then it's lively." The bartender smiled gloomyly, "When the time comes, everyone will rely on their abilities to see who is more courageous."

"Tsk tsk, it seems that the Dark Guild is also involved in the operation of the Orient Express."

"Of course, the Orient Express can operate normally, and it is supported by almost all large forces. The Dark Guild is also among them. Otherwise, how could I work as a part-time bartender so easily?" The bartender said confidently, "So no matter which force, there are people who carry private goods, and some who secretly attack their opponents, but no one has publicly violated the rules on the Orient Express and declared war on all forces."

"Maybe it's there now." The crow said in a increasingly chaotic direction, "Listen, there's not any good news over there."

"Shut up." After the chaos lasted for more than a minute, someone finally came forward. A middle-aged knight with a warhammer on his back walked into the bar carriage from the other end and walked straight to the six young people, interrupting their noise. "Choose a representative to come forward, otherwise no one will need to say."

"I", "I", "I", almost everyone raised their hands at the same time, and after looking at each other for a moment, the others put down their hands awkwardly. One of the six people, a 23 or 24-year-old woman took a step and said, "We are the Yalans family in Thorn City..."

"Let me talk about the point first, what happened." The middle-aged knight looked calm and interrupted the woman's self-introduction without hesitation. "We will ask you when other questions are needed."

"One of our companions is missing." The woman's face turned pale, she said with resentment, "I disappeared in your car. I saw him more than ten minutes ago, but I couldn't find it in a blink of an eye."

“Where was missing?”

"He was in his own private room next door, and everyone else was playing cards in my private room. He said he would go back to get something, but he never came back. When we went to look for it, we found that he was missing."

"Is this also called missing? Who knows where he went?" the middle-aged knight frowned, "Didn't you ask the waiters in the corridor?"

“There are no waiters in the corridor.”
