On this train, apart from the outsider Nako, everyone else's attire and decorations were far superior to those of this little girl.
Jiang Xiao couldn't help but slow his pace, but he quickly realized that this was not the time to appreciate beauty.
The existence of this little girl is a mystery in itself.
Why is she here? Why is she so different from everyone else?
Some people are born to be the protagonist.
Jiang Xiao was particularly sensitive to this.
He moved closer and asked her tentatively.
"Little friend, what are you doing here? Are you all alone?"
The little girl raised her head, a sly glint in her eyes, before reverting to her innocent and naive demeanor.
She answered in her childish voice.
"Xiao Qi is all alone, Uncle. Are you going to treat me to candy or snacks?"
snack?
Jiang Xiao turned around, wanting Naizi to feed her some.
Suddenly, they noticed that Naoko and the others were looking at Xiaoqi with some surprise in their eyes.
Obviously.
They were also amazed by Xiao Qi's looks and temperament.
"You don't know her?" Jiang Xiao asked the group.
"No, I don't know her." The group was bewildered, not understanding why they needed to know her.
"She's so beautiful, and this is the first time you've met her?" Jiang Xiao's tone was full of disbelief.
"Yes, is there a problem?" the co-driver replied, his eyes never leaving the little girl as he spoke.
It's normal that people can't take their eyes off the elderly folks who have been watching for so long and haven't eaten much good pork.
"She's so outstanding, you would remember her if you just glanced at her a little more often, right?"
Jiang Xiao frowned, his doubts growing stronger.
He turned to look at Xiao Qi, whose clear, large eyes seemed to see through people's hearts, yet also seemed to hide some unfathomable secret.
"She's really strange," Jiang Xiao muttered to himself.
He decided to test Xiao Qi again to see if he could get any clues from her answer.
"Xiao Qi, how long have you been on this train?" Jiang Xiao asked.
Xiao Qi tilted her head, seemingly pondering the question, then gave an innocent smile and said.
"Xiao Qi doesn't remember. It's like time has stopped."
Jiang Xiao felt a chill run down his spine upon hearing this.
Time stops?
This answer is so surreal that it almost touches on the very essence of this ghost story.
A train that never stops—isn't that time standing still?
Could it be that Xiao Qi is also affected by some strange force?
He decided to ask the question from a different angle.
"Xiao Qi, have you seen any other children? Or has anyone mentioned you?"
Xiao Qi shook her head; her voice was still childish.
“I can see other children, but many people come and go, and it seems like none of them see Xiaoqi.”
This answer further confirmed Jiang Xiao's conjecture.
Xiao Qi's existence seemed invisible to the other passengers on the train.
Or rather, she was hidden away by some force.
"Could she be...?"
A thought flashed through Jiang Xiao's mind, but he didn't say it aloud.
He turned to look at Naoko and the co-driver, and found that they still looked blank. Obviously, they did not realize that Xiaoqi was acting strangely.
"You really didn't see her on this train?" Jiang Xiao asked again to confirm.
Naoko shook her head: "No, really no. I have a very strong impression of this little girl. If I had seen her before, I would never forget her."
The co-driver nodded with a wry smile: "Yes, me too. How could I forget such a pretty little girl if I had seen her before?"
"Haven't you realized the seriousness of the problem yet?"
"There are so many people on the train, wait a minute! Reiko, you haven't seen her either?"
Reiko, who had been silent all along, slowly shook her head.
She only just realized it herself.
Such a pretty little girl should have been noticed by them long ago on the train.
You have to understand, she's a ticket inspector who checks tickets dozens of times a day!
How could I not remember such a beautiful girl?
Just now, if Jiang Xiao hadn't noticed the little girl's presence, they might have completely ignored this little human sprite.
Despite the four people staring at her intently, Xiao Qi showed no fear and met their gazes openly, occasionally winking playfully.
"Where are your parents?" Naoko asked softly, stroking her head.
Xiao Qi was taken aback, then shook her head, indicating that she didn't know where they were.
"Kind young man, would you be willing to help me find my parents?"
"I don't want to, thank you."
Ok?
Jiang Xiao's decisive refusal left the little girl bewildered.
"I'm not one to lie, right, Xiao Qi? Confess and you'll be treated leniently, resist and you'll be punished severely. I bet the source of all this strangeness is you, isn't it?"
Chapter 492 The Little Devil Who Knows How to Disguise Himself
Is she the source?
Jiang Xiao's abrupt and cryptic words silenced everyone, including the little girl.
“Brother Jiang Xiao, although... well, I admit she’s a bit strange, you’re being rather arbitrary.”
Naoko blushed and tugged at Jiang Xiao's sleeve, whispering something.
"Young man, um, do you have any basis for saying she's the source of the strangeness?"
Scarface was also a little embarrassed to look directly into the little girl's innocent eyes.
how to say
Although she is strange, it would be a stretch to say that she is the source of the eeriness.
"There's no clue, it's all based on my sixth sense as a man! She was in the carriage the whole time, but no one noticed her, which is very strange!"
"I didn't, I'm not, don't talk nonsense!"
The little girl blushed and angrily denied it three times in a row.
Jiang Xiao glanced at Xiao Qi with an air of absolute certainty.
"Never mind, Jiang Xiao, didn't you want to go see Shadow? Let's go to Shadow's place first."
In the end, it was Reiko's words that broke the awkward atmosphere.
However, at Jiang Xiao's insistence, Xiao Qi was also forcibly brought along.
According to Jiang Xiao, if she really is the source, then they should kill her immediately and not give her a chance to escape.
These words made the little girl bar her teeth at him again.
Finally, the group returned to the eerie carriage where Jiang Xiao had mentioned seeing shadows.
The atmosphere inside the carriage suddenly became heavy, with everyone waiting for the unknown to unfold.
Jiang Xiao kept his eyes glued to every corner of the carriage; he dared not be careless for a moment.
To be honest, he was afraid of crashing.
While they waited, the scarred co-driver busied himself, reassuring the passengers in the carriage and guiding them to other carriages.
Although his actions were rude, the passengers complied for safety reasons.
"Don't worry, everything will be fine."
While calming the crowd, Scarface kept glancing back at Jiang Xiao and the others, a hint of worry in his eyes.
