Seeing that Li Yuan had met an acquaintance, Alessa and the others also turned their heads and looked at Sara with curiosity.

Sarah gently closed her work laptop, gazing at the streaks of rainwater streaming through the car window.

He said to himself:

"I guess I want a change of scenery. There's nothing left for me to miss in that place."

Hearing Sarah's words, Li Yuan nodded in understanding.

After all, Sarah's husband and children had already died in a car accident.

My best friend also died in that cave.

Juno, who survived, briefly reconciled with her.

However, a rift had already formed between them, making it difficult to restore their relationship to its former state.

"So, how are you doing here?"

Li Yuan asked softly, then pointed to the laptop on her lap.

He smiled and said, "You look very fulfilled."

Sarah laughed along with him.

She put the computer aside, shrugged, and said:

"The new environment is indeed a challenge for me, but everything is going well."

As she spoke, she pointed to the heavy rain outside the window and joked:

"Except for the weather."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Yuan and Sarah burst into laughter at the same time.

Lucian, who was standing to the side, suddenly nodded and chimed in:

"The weather here is really bad, and the air quality is poor. I lived here for a while."

Sarah looked at the handsome long-haired man with some surprise and asked curiously:

"Oh? When?"

Lucian thought about it carefully for a moment, then said somewhat uncertainly:

"About...200 years ago?"

Sarah, who still had a smile on her face, burst into laughter again upon hearing this.

He patted Li Yuan's arm and said with a smile:

"Sorry, your friend is just too funny."

Li Yuan raised an eyebrow, a helpless smile tugging at the corner of his lips, and said:

"That's true, he's always been a humorous person."

Lucian realized he had misspoke and gave an awkward laugh.

Aresa glanced at Li Yuan and the other two, and rolled her eyes.

He then shared the fruit cake he was holding with Grace, and with Samara, who could only look but not eat.

The Hell Detective, stuffed into Li Yuan's collar

After hearing the laughter, it struggled to crawl out.

It revealed a pair of curious big eyes, looking in the direction from which the sound came.

Sarah's eyes lit up when she saw Hellblazer, and she exclaimed in delight:

"Oh my god! It's so cute!"

Sarah slowly reached out, wanting to pat Hellstalker's head, and asked:

"Mr. Li Yuan, what's its name?"

"His name is Hellstalker, and he's a handsome young man."

Li Yuan took the Hell Detective out of his arms so that Sarah could pet the cat.

The Hell Detective meowed disapprovingly, seemingly protesting Li Yuan's actions.

Time flew by during the relaxed chat.

Before we knew it, an hour and a half had passed.

We are already halfway to London.

Alessa asked Li Yuan for another piece of cake, teasing Grace who was standing next to her.

But just then, the speeding train suddenly came to a stop.

The carriage immediately made a loud 'bang'!

Then, the wheels emitted a loud metallic scraping sound!

Li Yuan, regaining his balance, was startled and quickly pulled the Hell Detective into his arms.

He then reached out and helped Sarah, who was losing her balance.

Lucian and the others also steadied themselves to avoid being thrown over by inertia.

A moment later, the train came to a slow stop with a piercing creak.

Just as Li Yuan and the others were completely confused, a burst of static suddenly came from the broadcast.

Then the train driver's voice slowly drifted out from inside.

"Sizzle—"

"I'm Tony, the driver of this train. I'm very sorry for the bumpy ride."

The train appears to have hit something; we are taking steps to resolve the situation.

Please remain seated and wait patiently. Thank you for your cooperation.

Li Yuan breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, then released Sarah's arm and asked softly:

"Are you alright, Sarah?"

Sarah waved her hand with lingering fear and smiled at Li Yuan, saying:

"Thank you, Mr. Li Yuan. You always make me feel so safe."

Li Yuan chuckled softly, then muttered a helpless complaint:

"To encounter something like this in the middle of the night, that's really bad luck."

Then he turned to check on the servants.

Meanwhile, inside the train driver's cab,

After finishing the broadcast, driver Tony put on his coat and got out of the driver's seat.

The rain outside was still quite heavy.

Feeling the somewhat chilly weather, Tony tightened his coat.

He then raised his flashlight and carefully examined the underside of the train.

I want to know what the hell the wheel ran over.

The section where the train stopped happened to be a dense forest.

In the quiet of the night, only the sound of raindrops hitting the leaves could be heard.

The pitch-black and silent environment made Tony feel a little uneasy, and he secretly sped up the inspection.

Fortunately, Tony quickly found the obstacle under the train.

It was a bloodied and mangled male deer.

The huge antlers were still sticking out, stuck between the wheel and the rails.

Although he wondered how the deer could make the train stop,

But Tony didn't want to delve into it at the moment.

He simply crouched down, intending to quickly pull the stag carcass off the tracks.

Restart the train.

But just then, amidst the monotonous sound of raindrops,

Suddenly, there was a rustling sound of leaves being stirred!

Upon hearing the sound, Tony quickly turned around.

He shone his flashlight toward the woods!

But the woods were quiet, and there was nothing there.

Tony squinted and scanned the area twice.

After confirming that there was nothing wrong, he turned around and tugged hard on the antlers with both hands.

'Rustling sound'

This time the sound was much louder, and Tony jumped up and looked back.

However, apart from the sound of raindrops, there were no other sounds around.

Tony thought he was hallucinating.

He then lowered his head and pulled hard on the antlers again.

By this time, the passengers in the carriage had calmed down from their panic.

They began tidying up the things scattered on the ground.

Waiting for the train to start moving again.

The flight attendants also reassured everyone via the public address system.

They said the driver had gotten out of the car to check and the problem would be resolved soon.

Sarah, who was next to Li Yuan, was checking her computer to see if it had been damaged.

Alessa then took out a handkerchief and wiped Grace's face.

The piece of cake, because of the shaking, landed directly on Grace's face...

Samara floated to the side, covering his mouth and secretly chuckling.

But just then, Lucian, with his stern expression, suddenly twitched his nose twice.

He said to Li Yuan in a low voice:

"Bishop... Li Yuan, something seems to be coming from the woods!"

Outside the train,

Tony bent over and gave the antlers stuck on the rails a couple of hard tugs.

They discovered that they couldn't pull the stag's carcass out from under the car by their own strength.

He stood up, panting heavily.

I planned to rest for a while, then get in the car and call a few people over to help.

However, just as his expression relaxed somewhat,

Behind them, another rustling sound came, even closer than before!

Tony was startled and immediately turned around to look.

This time, not only were there sounds coming from the woods, but the leaves were also rustling.

Something seems to be moving in the woods.

Tony cautiously took two steps toward the woods.

Using the light of the flashlight, I carefully surveyed the situation in the woods.

But as the leaves swayed faster and faster,

A look of terror gradually appeared on Tony's face!

Li Yuan looked at Lucian with a puzzled expression and asked in confusion:

"What's coming?"

However, just as Li Yuan finished speaking, a 'thump' sound came from the car window behind him!

Li Yuan quickly turned around and saw a patch of scarlet blood splattered on the car window behind him!

Lucian said in a deep voice:

"It tastes like something from another brand!"
