Silas crouched down, pulled a dagger from his calf, and began to cut the
"A chance is enough."
A metallic glint appeared in Octavius's eyes. He raised his palm, and the twisted metal doors and windows quickly returned to their original state.
Silas looked up and asked, "Is the energy enough? If so, seal it all off."
"Should be no problem."
After saying that, all the metal that was wrapped around the
The moment the window closed, Silas was enveloped in a sense of security again, though not as intensely as before.
A mere 3mm thick steel plate could not provide him with enough security.
Silas stood up, holding something he had pulled from the
He randomly pulled out a bottle of mineral water from the pile of supplies next to him, took a big gulp, and then poured the remaining half bottle of water onto the bloody lump of flesh in his hand.
The crimson blood was washed away, revealing the thing's true form.
It was the heart of that
Octavius looked thoughtfully at the heart in his hand.
The two arrived at the dining car, and Octavius's expression changed drastically upon seeing the scene inside.
"What's wrong with Sister Celine?"
Jade frowned and said, "She collapsed as soon as she came in. She was still conscious, but her face was pale, which is very similar to the signs of
Octavius turned his gaze to Silas beside him.
Silas squatted down, looked at the weak Celine, and calmly said, "Now there is a way that can not only heal your injuries, but also potentially make you an
Celine stared blankly into Silas's eyes, but she still couldn't see any emotion in them.
He exuded an aura that inexplicably commanded respect.
Looking at Octavius beside her, Celine's reddened eyes lit up with a glimmer of light, "How do we do it?"
Silas held up the
...
The scene in the dining car was eerie. A group of people nervously huddled in a circle, while a woman covered in blood resolutely gnawed on a heart in her hand.
The only sounds inside the carriage were faint gnawing noises.
The atmosphere inexplicably turned gloomy.
Silas leaned back on the sofa and watched the scene with great interest.
There are generally two ways to become an
One method is to slowly come into contact with recently deceased
Another option is much more satisfying, like Celine, who gnawed raw into the heart of an

Its advantage is that it's fast.
The downside is that the person turns into a
When she had eaten half of it, Celine seemed less weak and began to eat even faster.
After finishing the last bite, her eyes were shrouded in a white gloom, as if a film had formed, and she collapsed to the ground.
Octavius glanced nervously at Silas.
Silas shrugged. "Look, there's nothing I can do. The rest depends on whether she can handle it herself."
Anyway, he got Celine for free, so if she becomes an
It's not a loss even if she dies; it's just the heart of an
Thinking of this, Silas subconsciously shifted his gaze to Leon, whose behavior over this period of time had been observed by him.
The first hurdle had been overcome in Silas's mind.
They had already been included in the internal member list.
He glanced at the thermometer on the wall; it had already soared to 27°C. He couldn't help but mutter to himself, "The temperature is rising really fast. It'll probably reach 28 or 29 degrees during the hottest part of the afternoon. Leon, go turn on the air conditioner."
Leon got up and went to the front of the car. Five minutes later, cool air blew into the VIP dining car.
"So, the way to become an
Snap!
Silas snapped his fingers. "Correct."
"After absorbing the

Therefore, there is a theory that people who become

"Therefore,
Octavius listened attentively. Although he was also an
From just a few words, everyone could tell that Silas had presented a logically complete conceptual system.
Rather than simple speculation.
Jade didn't press Silas about how he obtained this information; her beautiful almond-shaped eyes swept over Celine.
She heard it clearly.
Long-term, frequent...
There wasn't a single word here that matched the way Celine used just now.
"Her method of rapidly absorbing
Perhaps sensing her confusion, Silas spoke slowly.
"Oh."
Jade responded with a lukewarm reply.
Silas felt a little uncomfortable and looked up in surprise, only to see Jade staring at him with a strange, probing gaze.
It didn't seem like a woman looking at a man; it was more like a researcher encountering an interesting topic...
...
"Ho..."
More than ten minutes passed, and Celine, who was lying on the ground, suddenly sat up. Everyone was startled, and Leon subconsciously stood up and reached for the axe.
Only when Silas saw the non-reflective film in Celine's eyes did a smile appear on his face.
He walked up to her, squatted down, and extended his palm.
"Welcome to the Armed Train."
Celine stared at Silas for a long time before reaching out and squeezing out two words with difficulty.
"Thank you."
"If you feel dizzy, you can try turning off your visual analysis and carefully recalling the information you should remember."
Silas reminded her.
"It seems... to be like that?"
The thin, lifeless membrane in Celine's eyes gradually disappeared, reflecting Silas's image.
Silas snapped his fingers, a smirk playing on his lips. "Correct, you've arrived in the world of
"Celine. Like the moon in the night sky."
"Silas, Silas of rebirth. You can also call me train conductor, boss, leader, Brother Silas... it doesn't matter what you call me, but you have to understand one thing: as long as you're on the train, you have to listen to me. I will only say this once."
Although Silas's tone was calm, it carried an undeniable chill.
