"Thank you so much, Investigator of The Hollow!"
"Thank you too, Miss Hoshimi, Miss Mao You!"
"Once we're out, I will definitely find a chance to properly thank all of you!"
Corin stood at the exit of The Hollow, bowing ninety degrees with a very sincere attitude.
She then turned and jogged toward the exit of The Hollow. After confirming Corin had left, Ling turned to Hoshimi Aya and asked,
"Aya, Corin doesn't seem like an ordinary maid, does she?"
"Her identity probably isn't simple either, right?"
Ling inquired, after all, ordinary maids don't use chainsaws.
"No, she is similar to us."
"It's a profession similar to that of a tunnel thief, except their business only serves a small portion of the upper class."
"And the Hoshimi Family is one of them, which is why I specifically reminded Corin not to mention seeing me before."
Hoshimi Aya nodded.
"I see. I never expected this kind of business to exist, Meow!"
Mao You nodded; it was the first time she had learned about it.
"Alright, let's hurry up and set off too."
"Next, we need to stop the train."
Ling put her hands on her hips.
"Yes, let's go."
After saying that, the group continued forward and finally arrived in a tunnel.
After waiting for a while, the train passed through the tunnel where they were located.
"It's finally here, Ling!"
"I'll get you up there!"
With that, Hoshimi Aya scooped up Eous with one hand, emanating red Fox Fire, and then chased after the train's engine.
In no time, Hoshimi Aya was running alongside the train's engine.
"Three, two, one, go!"
Hoshimi Aya then directly tossed Eous up.
After being tossed, Eous bounced a few times inside the carriage to stabilize his form.
"Aya really threw hard!"
"Luckily, I applied a deceleration treatment to this train beforehand, otherwise, I would have definitely been thrown off!"
Ling, who was controlling Eous, rubbed her backside.
"Alright, time to act."
Saying that, Ling controlled Eous and moved toward the ventilation window.
"The skylight on top of this train is so small that even Mao You can't fit through. She's practically liquid."
"However, for you, Master, this is simply child's play, truly the King of the World."
"Now, King of the World, please proceed to the driver's cabin to complete your coronation."
Fairy praised somewhat stiffly.
"I know, I know, I'm crawling down right now."
"Once I press the emergency stop button, everything will be accomplished."
Saying that, Ling desperately squeezed downward and then shot down with a whoosh.
At this moment, the train was still loaded with many Public Security Officers, and every single Public Security Officer was holding a firearm.
As soon as Ling dropped down and stabilized her footing, she was immediately pinned against the wall with several guns pointed at her head.
"Oh my god! It seems this train is carrying more than just a large amount of explosives!"
"The news didn't mention this!"
Ling leaned against the corner, frightened.
With so many guns pointed at her, anyone would be scared; even if it wasn't her own body, her heart felt uneasy.
Meanwhile, outside the train.
Hoshimi Aya, who had just tossed Ling onto the train, looked behind her with some bewilderment.
"Mao You?!"
"No, where is Mao You?"
"She was right behind me just now?!"
Hoshimi Aya seemed puzzled.
But the confusion only lasted a moment before Hoshimi Aya jumped onto the roof of the train.
Thinking that she would have to find Ling once the train stopped, Hoshimi Aya walked toward the front of the train.
However, after only a few steps, a round object that looked somewhat like Eous was thrown down from a window on the front of the train.
Then Hoshimi Aya heard Ling's scream. Seeing this, Hoshimi Aya jumped down.
"Ling, is that you?"
Hoshimi Aya called out to the round object lying on the ground behind her.
And the train had completely disappeared from Hoshimi Aya's sight just then.
"It's me, Aya."
"The situation is a bit off!"
"The train has armed Public Security Officers, and the condition of these Public Security Officers is somewhat strange."
"In any case, let's go back first."
Ling stood up and then led Hoshimi Aya away from The Hollow.
