Chapter 904 - 707: Lanci, the Chosen Empire Person_2
The broadcast’s sound was slightly distorted, but it still appeared calm, ensuring the passengers’ tranquility.
As soon as the voice ceased, the previously peaceful train suddenly became agitated.
Before long, one could faintly hear the footsteps and whispered conversations in the corridor, evidently unsettling the passengers with this sudden news.
Lanci’s heart was suddenly filled again with Talia’s voice.
"Lanci, why don’t we escape? Your identity might have already been exposed, and heading to Brilda would be extremely dangerous."
Talia didn’t know what was going on, but she was ready to fight alongside Lanci at any moment.
The information in the broadcast probably referred to Lanci as the internal traitor.
At this distance, it seemed possible to escape; at least the War God wouldn’t deploy easily to leave the capital Brilda and capture criminals in the remote mountains.
"Extreme danger elements—that obviously isn’t referring to me. I am not extreme or dangerous at all."
Lanci argued with confidence.
"..."
Talia didn’t know how to continue the conversation with Lanci.
She felt Lausang would probably agree with Lanci’s words.
But she also felt that Lanci’s actions had been cautious throughout the journey, with no apparent reason for exposure.
Lanci’s only contact in the Empire was Nigel, and since coming to the Empire, he hadn’t even met with other Poson intelligence personnel.
"I will continue to act as an Empire Person, doing what needs to be done."
Lanci signaled to Talia to be at ease, reassuring her.
Before the dust settled, always maintaining one’s identity and acting, if it was a psychological warfare, was to gamble all the way, never to disrupt oneself first—this was Lanci’s principle.
Once himself actively shows a flaw, that would be the real exposure.
"I trust you."
Talia responded.
Lanci’s consciousness also returned from his mind to reality.
If not absolutely necessary, Lanci would not intervene, because the old man he was impersonating, Mr. Lovia, held a low rank and didn’t have much fighting ability.
Sure enough.
Not long after the black-haired, blue-eyed young man left, the whole train suddenly jolted as if it had hit something, even though it had already stopped.
At the same time, a deafening explosion erupted, instantly engulfing part of the carriage in flames!
The violent shaking nearly flung Lanci to the ground. His ears buzzed, and his vision was obscured by the blinding light of the fire and thick, rolling smoke.
At least a Sixth-order confrontation had occurred.
"Meow meow meow! Lanci, you vehicle murderer!"
Cat Boss shuddered from its hiding spot in the shadow.
It had had enough!
Traveling by boat with Lanci, they encountered a shipwreck.
Traveling by airship with Lanci, they encountered an air disaster.
Traveling by rail with Lanci, still an accident?
Lanci truly must have a vendetta against vehicles!
Wait, it seemed that every accident also involved it.
Could it also be a vehicle murderer?
Meow.
Cat Boss fell into thought.
Outside compartment 404, thick smoke billowed, seeping into the compartment through the door crack.
Lanci crawled and tumbled to the door, straining to open the compartment door but was forced back by the heat wave that hit him.
Thanks to Cat Boss’s Telekinesis magic, he was able to quickly open the compartment.
Once the smoke and dust somewhat cleared, he could finally see the wretched state inside the carriage.
The once elegant and tidy corridor was now a mess, with broken furniture strewn about, signs of charring everywhere, and snaking cracks, and the air was pervaded by a pungent burnt smell, making him cover his mouth.
