After using [Respiratory Art – Ghost] and [Blood Ghost – Monstrous Strength], Ryuga's speed almost reached more than 100 meters per second, which was comparable to a high-speed train. And because he became a ghost, he didn't need to worry about the consumption of physical strength. He could sprint all the way and maintain a speed of 100 meters per second every minute.
At such a high speed, the wind swept past Grey's face like a knife, messing up her hair. She didn't dare to raise her head from Ryuga's back, otherwise, she would be blown down.
After three minutes of high-speed dash, the two caught up with the Magic Eye Train on a grassland.
The reason why the train stopped here seemed to be to wait for additional passengers. The passengers of the Magic Eye Train were scattered all over the world. Not everyone would directly go to the abandoned station in London to take the train. Some would board the train on the way.
However, in the case of murder, the number of passengers who were originally scheduled to board the train had decreased a lot. Most of them only sent demonic spirits. These demonic spirits were led to the third carriage of the Magic Eye Train, which seemed to be specially prepared for demonic spirits.
"That's great. You're finally here."
After seeing the two of them, Collins hurriedly welcomed them into the carriage.
The train waited for another half an hour on the grassland, but it still didn't receive any passengers. Finally, it set off again and continued to travel along England.
Liu Xia parted ways with Grey and the others and returned to her room.
Bazette was still lying on the bed and hadn't woken up from his coma.
"At that time, my thoughts should be that I didn't want to disappoint Grey's expectations …"
Ryuga sat on the sofa, carefully thinking and feeling the changes in his heart.
At the end of the Twin Tower incident, he clearly had a good opportunity to take away the Holy Spear, but he didn't do so. He didn't understand his inner process at that time, but after the conversation with Grey, he was suddenly enlightened.
Just like Grey didn't want to let down the expectations of the village, Grey at that time regarded him as a benefactor and felt guilty towards him. Although it was just a freak combination of factors, Ryuga felt that he should have been thinking that he couldn't take away the Holy Spear in front of Grey and let her down.
"In that case, I should have gained feelings at this time … But, why?"
Ryuga carefully sensed her inner feelings. The excitement that had welled up from the bottom of her heart earlier was nowhere to be found now. "Why can't I feel that feeling now?"
If he were to snatch Grey's Holy Spear now, Ryuga felt that he would not hesitate at all. He would not care if Grey would be disappointed, and would not hesitate to snatch the Holy Spear away.
It was as if the emotional fluctuations that emerged from the Two-Faced Pagoda were really just temporary fluctuations, just like how even a pool of stagnant water would ripple when a stone fell into it. But in the end, it was still stagnant water, and its nature had not changed at all.
"Is it really just a momentary fluctuation …"
She couldn't tell if it was disappointment or something else, but at this moment, Ryuga felt an inexplicable emptiness, as if there was a hole in her chest.
"It doesn't matter. If there is a first time, there will be a second time … I just need to continue playing the role …"
In the end, he did not have any other way to gain feelings. Since that was the case, he might as well continue on this path of playing the role.
At the very least, this was a possibility.
…
Soon, it was the third day.
Early in the morning, when everyone came to the dining car to eat, Karano Ryuji's familiar finally brought back the information about the serial murder case seven years ago.
"The Clock Tower does indeed have information about the case seven years ago."
Karano Ryuji said in the dining car, "The victims seven years ago were just as Kaliber said. Their heads were all chopped off by an unknown attack. And, what is surprising is that all of the victims, without exception, were all bearers of the Magic Eye."
"All of them were bearers of the Magic Eye?"
Ryuga, Kaliber, Olga Marie, and the others all looked at Karano Ryuji with different expressions.
"That's right. Some of them were first-rate magicians with the Magic Eye, and some of them were ordinary people who were born with the Magic Eye. But from the results, all of them were bearers of the Magic Eye."
Karano Ryuji gave an affirmative answer, and then said, "Then there is the problem of Kaliber and Teresa's superior who investigated the case … Unfortunately, there is no relevant report in the Clock Tower. Perhaps it was erased by someone, or perhaps there was no one in charge at that time."
"No …"
Kaliber fell into silence.
He thought that as long as he got the information from the Clock Tower, he could find the person who was controlling him from behind the scenes. But he did not expect that the other party's methods were better, and he could not find any relevant information at all.
"Sir Yin-yang, what do you think?"
Kaliber looked at Ryuga with a tentative look, as if he was waiting for Ryuga to find relevant clues.
"I need to make some preparations."
After pondering for a while, Ryuga gave a vague answer to Kaliber, then turned around and left the dining car.
Until now, he had a rough idea of the incident in his mind. This incident itself did not contain a huge amount of knowledge. What he needed was the ability to think logically. Fortunately, his ability in this area was not bad.
But now, the key was that even if he had a rough idea of the incident, if he could not find the person himself, then it would be meaningless.
"He should be in the car, but who is he pretending to be?"
Ryuga's eyes swept across the doors of the first to the fifteenth guest room one by one, and he fell into deep thought.
Soon, he walked into the second guest room.
"Sensei II, I have some questions to ask you."
…
Time passed quickly, and soon it was the afternoon of the third day.
There were only two or three hours left before the auction began.
Kaliber sat on the chair in the lounge, but he felt uneasy.
It was almost time for the auction to begin. If he could not find the person behind the scenes before the auction began, then he would not be able to keep the Magic Eye with him, and he would not be able to take revenge on the other party.
What he was afraid of came true.
Conductor Luodan and auctioneer Leondra came to Kaliber together.
"Sir, it's almost time to hand over the Magic Eye."
The skinny conductor Rodin said in a flat tone, "In a while, the acting manager of our Magic Eye Train will remove the Magic Eye for you and provide you with a pair of ordinary eyeballs. Please rest assured that there will be no side effects."
