Mixed with the dull sound of metal falling on the heavy red carpet, three people, including Cooper, were trapped by a square iron cage more than two meters high.
In other words, the manufacture of this thing is quite exquisite. An Yi pointed out clearly that when he came in, there were only a few ceiling lamps hidden on the ceiling on the top of the carriage, and there was no trace of an iron cage.
If you look up now, you can see a long chain hanging from the cracked ceiling. One end of the chain is connected with the iron cage. It should be an anti-theft device that can be retracted and put back, and the reaction speed is quite fast. As long as the glass cover is opened, the iron cage will fall.
"This is a mechanism that I specially asked craftsmen to refit. However, the craftsmen can't guarantee the accuracy, so they have to make the iron cage bigger."
Then Cooper showed a regretful expression:
"If Mr. Edward were to be reborn, he would have made an elaborate mechanism countless times. Oh, sorry, miss anasta"
Anasta waved her hand to show that she didn't mind.
While they were talking, Ann pointed to the falling iron cage.
The distance between the railings of the cage was very narrow. An Yizhi tried. With his physique, he could not get out of the gap and was likely to be stuck on it.
But
"Mr. Cooper, have you ever heard of bone shrinking skill?"
Cooper was stunned and then smiled:
"I've heard that it's a special skill that allows people to drill through narrow places that ordinary people can't pass through. Do you doubt that Robin may also use this skill to escape from the cage?"
An Yi nodded. Although the gap of the iron cage was narrow, it was not a distance that could not be crossed. In particular, the other party was a famous monster. An Yi pointed out that he was really not sure how the system would give the monster the ability to lie in a groove.
"You can choose any direction and stretch out your hand to press the floor."
Ann hesitated, then squatted down, reached through the iron fence and pressed it on the outside floor.
The next moment, he heard a muffled noise, and a large net covered the position he pressed like a captured net.
"As long as the cage falls, the second layer mechanism will enter the trigger state. Anyone trying to get out of the cage will be trapped by the net, and the rest will be much easier."
He looked at the net catcher in a corner of the ceiling and nodded to show understanding.
Anti theft facilities are perfect, but
It's probably useless.
–‐‐——–‐‐——
Cooper is prepared to use more than these means to deal with Robin. The carriage is almost a completely closed environment, and the door can only be opened from the outside. The security personnel change shifts every three hours to ensure that there are people watching in the carriage 24 hours. Moreover, every shift, even when they come back from the last toilet, they have to be reviewed, that is, pulling their faces to ensure that there is no Robin among them.
Unless Robin is an invisible ghost, he can't steal from such a tight guard.
Cooper seemed confident, but an Yizhi knew very well that these arrangements were basically useless.
Although he didn't think of a solution for the time being, don't forget that this is a game.
The main task given by the system is "find the master key" instead of protecting the gem from being stolen. This has explained from the side that according to Cooper's settings, the gem will certainly be stolen by Robin, so the system does not require players to protect it.
Moreover, if the anti-theft facilities are really useful, it is meaningless for the system to throw an Yizhi into this copy.
Of course, it's impossible for an Yizhi to say these words to Cooper. Even if he reminds him that your anti-theft facilities are useless, he will be regarded by Cooper as narrow-minded.
There are two organizers of this trip. They all hold the idea of catching Robin. Cooper took out a specially designed carriage and colorful head full of organs, and anasta can only ask ANN for help.
From the perspective of face, stand high and stand low.
Maybe Cooper's show off smile has something to do with it.
——This idea is worse.
He showed them his anti-theft facilities and ordered his men to reset the mechanism. Cooper took out his pocket watch and looked at the time. Then he invited them to dinner together.
Now it's more than five o'clock. The sun hasn't completely set yet. It's a little early for dinner.
An Yi refers to the player. As long as the system does not turn on the diet mode, he does not need to eat, while anasta is an artificial person who relies on the core action of alchemy. After eating, it is more troublesome and needs to take out the stomach bag and clean it.
But since Cooper said so, they can't refuse.
The three came to the restaurant and found a seat. Cooper sat opposite them and called the conductor to order with the menu.
The menu was full of letters. For an Yizhi, it was a blind dog. He couldn't understand the stars at all. In order not to show timidity, he had to pretend to understand and tell the conductor the same as Cooper.
The food on the Oriental Express is not an ordinary fast food on the train. It is not inferior to the standard of high-end restaurants, whether in terms of taste or decoration
Or the price.
I have to thank anasta for her carefulness and give Ann Yizhi some activity funds in advance. Otherwise, Ann Yizhi, who is penniless, can only let her sister pay the bill. Although Ann Yizhi is thick skinned and doesn't care much, it's not a comfortable experience to stab others' eyes.
Anasta doesn't drink. She needs hot drinks such as black tea to maintain her temperature, so she doesn't eat much at dinner, mainly because she drank a lot of black tea.
An Yizhi tasted the loss of lack of culture.
In front of him was a plate of famous French dish red wine snail. I knew Cooper ordered it. Ann pointed out that she didn't want to be the same as him.
Although he comes from a big food country, an Yizhi has always been very resistant to eating insects. He can only hypnotize himself and imagine the snail on the plate as a conch
It's all mollusks anyway. It should be about the same.
During the meal, Cooper kept asking Ann Yizhi about his case solving. However, Ann Yizhi's identity as a detective was imposed by the system. He knew what case he had solved in the background of the story. In order not to reveal the truth, he had to pay attention to his prevarication.
Cooper naturally could see that an Yizhi didn't want to talk more. He was very knowledgeable and naturally shifted the topic to chatting with anasta. Most of the two talked about some interesting things in the upper class society, or about the revolution in the German family.
In other words, an Yizhi remembers that the revolution in Germany should have just ended World War I. how did it move to the 1930s?
Then I thought, anyway, the world is a temporary copy. The system can do whatever it says
He is more concerned about the main line and branch line tasks than this.
He has roughly understood the terrain in the train, and there are too many passengers and staff. An Yizhi can't run to cross examine one by one to find flaws. In this way, the efficiency is too low, and the system is unlikely to set such clues.
It has only been more than two hours since an Yizhi entered the copy. The copy has just begun. According to the consistent routine of the system, he is not likely to give players too many clues in the early stage, but will gradually give players tips and guide players to complete the main line task with the progress of the plot step by step.
An Yi pointed to sipping the wine of unknown year and classified the information obtained one by one in her mind.
The first is naturally information about robin.
Whether it was anasta or Cooper, Ann pointed out that the information from them was not much different from the image of Robin in her mind.
If you insist, it's probably an enhanced version of Robin in your mind.
He appeared and disappeared, and no one knew his true face. Therefore, it was rumored that robin was not a person, but more likely an organization.
But it is certain that as long as Robin wants to steal, there is nothing he can't steal.
Anasta said that master Edward had many duels with him. Edward could make man-made people, which was comparable to the mechanical manufacturing ability of immortals. The mechanism he made could not catch the big strange thief. It can be seen that his ability has far exceeded the real strange thief Robin in the novel.
Therefore, an Yizhi imagined him as bearing Robin's name, but his behavior and ability were as strong as the collection of all strange thieves in later generations.
Robin is a very artistic connoisseur. According to the information obtained, he will not steal money, but steal those famous paintings, precious stones, antiques and so on.
Maybe it's because these things are more valuable.
However, the victims who were stolen by Robin are usually rich and unkind. This is also why Robin is known as a grand thief.
In other words, the seemingly approachable Mr. Cooper is probably not a good man.
This is a clue, although an Yizhi's feeling has little to do with the main line.
One of the branch missions is to ensure the survival of anasta, and Robin rarely hurts people, let alone kills people, so the factors that will threaten anasta's life come from other directions.
A guy who is not a good man is naturally the object of Ann's suspicion.
He even thought about the reason. It's probably for money. After all, anasta has become all the assets of master Edward. There are many people who make up her mind, just like Cooper.
Of course, this is an Yizhi's malicious guess, which can't be used as evidence, but it's enough to make him vigilant against Cooper.
Turning these in her mind, Ann put down her glass and looked at the money through the window. She could see a dark tunnel.
It seems that the train will pass through the tunnel soon.
The surrounding light quickly darkened. Since it was not night, the restaurant did not turn on the headlights for lighting. Only the weak candles placed on the table to decorate the atmosphere, and the flickering fire reflected a large shadow.
The passengers are obviously used to it. People look at themselves and do what they should do.
At this time, an Yizhi felt a breeze flash from the back of his head. It felt like someone walked past from behind.
He turned his head and saw no one, as if the wind was just his illusion.
"What can I do for you, Mr. Ann?"
Cooper asked strangely, and anasta looked at Ann with a puzzled expression.
At this time, the train passed through the tunnel, and the afterglow of the sunset entered the carriage again. Ann pointed out to explain what she had just felt. Turning around, she saw a piece of hard paper pasted on anasta's back with adhesive tape.
He took off the piece of paper and read the above sentence in their surprised eyes:
"Tonight I will worship the 'Blue Star' and go with the wave. No one can stop it."
It's a theft notice from the strange thief Robin.
