Jiang Jin was originally the world of old-fashioned trains. Even after the introduction of more cost-effective trains, there was no way to upgrade them on a large scale in a short period of time.
But an unexpected incident became an opportunity to upgrade them.
That was the huge train accident thirty years ago.
The train rushed off the track for unknown reasons. Including the front, more than seven carriages overturned. The death toll reached as many as thirty-six people. The surviving passengers were all injured. The whole incident shocked the whole country.
But Xu Shenxing, who was less than twenty years old, didn't have much of an impression of this incident. After all, it happened more than ten years ago.
"Why are you looking for the conductor?"
Monkey didn't rush to answer Xu Shenxing. Instead, he asked curiously.
Probably because they felt that Xu Shenxing's words might involve some privacy, other than Monkey, the other three people in the dormitory found an excuse to leave the dormitory.
"I have something to talk to him about." Xu Shenxing omitted the subject and answered very honestly.
Anyway, he didn't say that he wanted to talk to him …
"Then I advise you to give up on this idea." Monkey hesitated for a while, then finally clenched his teeth and said.
"What's wrong?" Xu Shenxing felt that something was wrong. "Could it be that he's already dead?"
After all, thirty years had passed. The conductor, who was still young at that time, should be old now. It wouldn't be surprising if he died.
But in this way, Jiang Yue's wish couldn't be fulfilled.
Because of this, Xu Shenxing frowned.
He didn't know the way to the netherworld …
"He's not dead yet." Monkey said with a complicated expression. "It's just that he's become a bit surly. It won't be that easy to talk to him."
"You know that person?"
Hearing Monkey say this, Xu Shenxing's curiosity became even more vigorous.
"Nonsense." Monkey sneered with his nose. "The conductor of the accident thirty years ago was my dad."

While Xu Shenxing was asking for information from Monkey, Jiang Yue, who was anxiously waiting for the final result in Sakura's apartment, also met a special guest.
"Ah, you must be the Earth God!" After opening the door and seeing the guest outside, Jiang Yue showed a surprised expression.
However, for some reason, the Earth God of Jiang Jin now had a funny bump on his head.
"Hey … What's wrong with this house? I can't even get in through the ground …" She clutched her head, dissatisfaction written all over her face.
"Can't you just come in through the door?"
"I'm not a delivery man! As an Earth God, it's too degrading to walk through the door! "
The values of the Earth God were truly incomprehensible.
"Then, Lord Earth God, what brings you here this time?" After welcoming her into the house, Jiang Yue made her a cup of water and said apologetically, "Sorry, we don't have any tea leaves at home …"
It would be better to say that there were cobwebs in the canister used to store the tea leaves. How long had it been since something was spilled?
"If you are looking for Mr. Xu Shenxing, he is in school now."
"If I wanted to find him, I wouldn't have come at this time."
The Earth God curled his lips. "I'm here for you."
"?" A question mark appeared on Jiang Yue's head.
"The accident thirty years ago, you should also know about it, right?" The Earth God sat on the sofa and looked at Jiang Yue.
When the latter heard her mention this matter, her face darkened, and even her body stiffened a little.
"The earliest train in Jiang Jin, Jiang Hua Ship … is your predecessor."
"Yes, although the memory at that time is not clear, the accident did have something to do with me."
After a moment, Jiang Yue nodded and admitted her responsibility.
"At that time, Jiang Hua Ship suddenly opened its spiritual cavities and had self-awareness. Then, as a newborn monster, it couldn't immediately control its own power. Finally, the accident happened …" The Earth God Loli drank a mouthful of water, but immediately spat out her tongue because of the scalding water. "However, it also suffered the consequences of its own actions. Not only was its consciousness greatly damaged, it was also abandoned. It directly lost the concept of a monster's existence. In a sense, it can be said that its soul has been destroyed."
After that, the old trains in Jiang Jin were gradually abandoned.
Later, due to the pressure of the old residents, the government planned to get an old train as a tourist train to satisfy their feelings. It's just that at that time, almost all the trains that could still run were old. After looking around, only Jiang Hua Ship, which was left in a broken factory, was still passable.
So they renovated Jiang Hua Ship, renamed it Jiang Yue, and let it run on the railway as a tourist train.
After that, the Earth God Loli looked at Jiang Yue with a complicated expression. "Your consciousness was born in the past ten years. Since that's the case, it has nothing to do with Jiang Hua. You don't need to take responsibility for it. "
"But, at least …"
Jiang Yue obviously wanted to say something, but in the end, she didn't say anything. She just bit her lower lip and seemed to disagree with the Earth God Loli's words.
"Don't misunderstand, I'm not here to comfort you." If the Earth God Loli's expression was a little lazy before, then now it was purely serious. "Do you know what will happen to Jiang Yue without you?"
Without waiting for Jiang Yue to answer, she continued. "As the True Spirit of the train, after losing you, Jiang Yue will be an empty shell. Although it can still run now, it will be in danger of disintegration at any time. Not only that, without the protection of the True Spirit, the train itself is more prone to various accidents … In fact, just now, there was already a conductor who fell off the train because the train wheels suddenly jammed!"
"Is he okay!" Jiang Yue hurriedly asked with concern.
"I picked him up. It's just a minor injury, but I don't know about the next time."
The Earth God Loli shook her head. "Whether it's me or the one who lives here, we don't have the time to help you look after your carriage all day. If this continues, I'm afraid that before Jiang Yue Line is abandoned, the train will repeat the accident 30 years ago."
"Then what should I do?" Jiang Yue hurriedly asked.
"Go back to Jiang Yue Line." The Earth God Loli stared at Jiang Yue and said word by word. "But because there's a problem with Jiang Jin's spirit vein now, if you go on the Jiang Yue Line that runs along the spirit vein, you might not be able to leave the carriage. Once Jiang Yue Line is abandoned, you will also disappear immediately … When you left the train, you should have vaguely felt this point."
The Earth God Loli put the almost untouched teacup back on the table. "Do you want to stay in the human world or return to Jiang Yue Line? Think about it yourself."
After saying that, she jumped towards the floor.
In the end, her little face hit the floor with a thud.
"Ouch, I forgot that there's no way to escape through the earth here …"
