Chapter 440 [The Train] The Third Prophecy
Tianhai City District.
Inside the slowly ascending elevator of the Thirteenth Bureau office building.
Chen Ji stared at the floor numbers flashing on the screen, his emotions churning.
He is currently on his way to the main conference hall on the top floor with Du Tingfeng, and has just learned some information.
Du Tingfeng is right.
Something really did happen, and it was a very important one, but no one expected that it would be connected to an old acquaintance!
Tian Qinghe.
His work experience within the Thirteenth Bureau is very similar to Zhang Heng's. He started as an ordinary person specially recruited by the military, and later, by chance, he also entered the field. Now he is the deputy captain of the Sixth Detachment.
It is said that the eighth domain has already passed.
This person not only saved Chen Ji in both reality and the realm, but was also an old friend of his uncle, provided a lot of assistance in the Chuncheng case, and knew Fei'er, Du Tingfeng, Liu Zi, and others.
That's why my uncle called them all over this time.
"When exactly did Tian Qinghe have the accident?" Chen Ji asked.
"We currently believe it was around 7:50 p.m. last night," Du Tingfeng said, using very precise wording.
"He was on the high-speed train back to Tianhai at the time, talking to Uncle Chen on the phone. The call was cut off halfway through."
“Last night…” Chen Ji frowned; more than half a day had passed since then.
Half a day may seem short, but based on the known information, this incident is mostly related to the source corpse, so a lot can happen in half a day.
It's uncertain whether Tian Qinghe is alive or dead now.
“After that, the bureau called every hour, but Tian Qinghe’s phone was always out of service.”
Du Tingfeng said, "Then the documents from above were issued. You'll see the details when you take a look."
Ding-dong-
As soon as he finished speaking, the elevator doors opened.
Immediately, a commotion reached their ears. Looking ahead, they saw many people hurrying along, carrying large stacks of documents, their faces extremely serious.
"This is different from Xu's Netherworld."
Du Tingfeng stepped out of the elevator, his tone somewhat strange: "That time, only Zhang Heng was implicated, and it was because of my sister."
"But this time... apart from Tian Qinghe being an entrant to the domain, the other eight passengers in his carriage were all ordinary people."
Chen Ji's breath hitched.
He knew very well that not everyone could be as quick as Zhang Heng to accept reality and assist those who entered the domain.
Moreover, Tian Qinghe didn't enter the Netherworld!
It is not a domain either.
But the level of danger... is even higher.
In that situation, even those who entered the realm faced a near-certain death, let alone ordinary people.
During their conversation, the two opened the door to the conference room, where quite a few people were already seated.
The atmosphere was extremely oppressive.
Upon hearing the door open, everyone turned to look at Chen Ji and Du Tingfeng, and many people's expressions changed slightly.
Everyone sitting here is an official staff member.
On the sofa in the corner, Fei'er sat expressionless, clearly disliking the atmosphere.
Liu Zi, standing to the side, was equally uncomfortable, constantly pouring tea for himself and Fei'er to ease the awkwardness.
Liu Zi breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Chen Ji and the other man enter.
"Chen Ji".
At the large conference table, Chen Yuetan stood up and gave a brief introduction to those around him.
He then quickly introduced several important figures: Dong Qiaoyue, deputy director of the Thirteenth Bureau and head of the Intelligence Section, and Han Bing, captain of the Sixth Detachment to which Tian Qinghe belonged.
Without any unnecessary pleasantries, Chen Yuetan directly opened the electronic screen, which displayed an official document.
The general situation is as follows:
At 8:30 p.m. last night, after the G293 high-speed train from Tanjiang to Tianhai arrived at its final stop, staff discovered that one of the carriages (carriage 09) was mysteriously missing.
This process was extremely strange, because the entire train was running normally without encountering any abnormalities or accidents, and carriage number 09 disappeared without a trace.
No one knows when that carriage disappeared.
Its two carriages were joined together so naturally and smoothly, as if carriage 09 had never existed!
Team Six Captain Han Bing said, "Fortunately, when the incident happened, Captain Chen and Tian Qinghe were on the phone."
"By determining the time the phone call ended, we realized the train was traveling on a plain near Tianhai, and thus found it..."
He hesitated, seemingly unsure of what to say.
Chen Yuetan said, "Train."
As he spoke, he switched to the next image.
In the golden wheat field, a dark green carriage lay diagonally beside the railway tracks, like a large tree that had been cut down.
The entire carriage's exterior was twisted and deformed.
A train derailed!
Chen Ji clenched his fist. Just as he had guessed, ever since he heard that it was a train accident, he had suspected that it was related to the prophecy in the mural!
It can now be confirmed that the murals are arranged chronologically from bottom to top.
The consequences of Yu Tianrong's entry into the domain are unknown.
Xu Sandao's memorial service points to Zeng Guichuan's past, which in turn leads to the exploration of the Ghost Infant Tomb.
Now, the photo of this train derailment is exactly the same as the third mural!
At this point in time, and near Tianhai, Chen Ji couldn't help but suspect it was related to the Source Corpse.
The problem is, what's disappearing are the train carriages, but...
“This is a Type 22 passenger train,” Chen Yuetan said. “It’s what we commonly call the earliest green-skinned train. Production stopped in 94.”
He paused, zoomed in on the image, and spoke in a somewhat strange tone.
"There was no one inside, but coincidentally... it was also carriage number 9 that derailed."
"Therefore, we suspect that it is very likely that carriage number 9 of the high-speed train was swapped with a green-skinned train that has long been discontinued!"
Chen Ji and the other three sat together, exchanging glances with a hint of confusion in their eyes.
"Only this one carriage?" Liu Zi asked. "What about the rest of the green train?"
"we do not know."
Dong Qiaoyue from the intelligence department gently shook her head.
She was the first to receive the documents and kept abreast of the on-site investigation: "We searched the surrounding area, but found nothing."
"Because all the available surveillance cameras in that section were out of service, the bureau had no way of determining whether this train had ever been there."
“Moreover…” she frowned slightly, “Even if they existed, those models would be out of service long ago.”
Dong Qiaoyue meant that this carriage appeared out of thin air, just like when someone throws trash out of a car window and it ends up next to the tracks.
"This matter must be handled with caution."
The deputy director sighed wearily. Unlike the others, he was not a domain entrant.
Therefore, there are more things to consider.
Chen Ji didn't reply, but looked at Chen Yuetan.
Although he will definitely go to the rescue, the specific procedures will depend on Chen Yuetan's ideas.
After all, Chen Ji and the others were all free men and did not want to be under the jurisdiction of the Thirteenth Bureau.
