Chapter 1600 The secret that was almost discovered (please subscribe)
Seeing that the conductor was so polite, Gu Xi felt a little embarrassed.
But when we go out, face is given to each other.
The conductor was so generous to him, Gu Xi couldn't lose his face anymore.
Although the conductor misunderstood what he meant, Gu Xi still thanked him and headed towards the bathroom at the end of the carriage.
When passing by the conductor, Gu Xi asked naturally.
"How long until we get to Changzi City?"
"It should take about two days. Passengers, don't worry. We are a train transporting both people and goods. It will not stop on the road."
Gu Xi glanced at Shoucai in the carriage and nodded seriously.
If you say these are goods, then so be it.
Gu Xi, who didn't want to say anything more, squeezed past the conductor and strode towards the bathroom.
By the time Gu Xi came out of the bathroom, the conductor had already checked near Gu Xi's seat.
Gu Xi simply didn't go there, planning to wait for the conductor to find out before going over and sitting down.
But at this moment, the face of the conductor holding the lamp suddenly became very ugly. He went back to check the seal on the birthday card, as if he was confirming something there.
Gu Xi was shocked.
No way.
He didn't move anything.
No one is going to blame him for this.
Gu Xi's face became serious.
Gu Xi is very careful when going out, just for fear of encountering something he can't explain clearly.
At this time, Gu Xi's eyes narrowed, he crossed his arms and watched from a distance.
If this conductor really wanted to do something wrong, Gu Xi would have to show his attitude.
At this time, the conductor also raised his head and looked at Gu Xi.
Seeing that Gu Xi's expression was obviously wrong, the conductor hesitated for a moment, but finally he walked up to Gu Xi and asked.
"Are you a necromancer?"
When the conductor came over, Gu Xi was startled. He didn't know why the conductor would ask this.
At this time, the conductor said quickly: "Don't be nervous, I just want to ask about the situation."
"Yeah, I'm a necromancer, what's the problem?"
Although Gu Xi didn't understand what was going on, he was not the kind of person who was too timid to say anything. Faced with the conductor's questioning, Gu Xi became even more calm.
The worst case scenario is a fight.
If a war really breaks out, Gu Xi won't be afraid of anyone.
When the conductor heard this, he quickly said: "So that's it, Mr. Gu, I'm so sorry, they made random arrangements without knowing it clearly.
Well, how about I tell the boss and arrange a better location for you later? "
After hearing this, Gu Xi was also stunned for a moment.
"Can I ask why that is?"
"It's not easy to say this, but don't worry, when we arrange a new location, it will definitely be better than here."
The conductor didn't want to explain the reason at all.
However, Gu Xi frowned, somewhat understanding the current situation.
The conductor will arrange a new and better seat for him, definitely because of the longevity in front of him.
Thinking of this, Gu Xi's head tilted involuntarily.
Gu Xi's little move also caught the attention of the conductor, "Mr. Gu, please don't think too much. This time there is a problem with our personnel arrangements. We will arrange a better position for you now."
As he spoke, the conductor took a step forward, as if to block Gu Xi's sight. After taking a breath, he realized that there was something wrong with the corpse inside the longevity material.
The conductor who led the way before had said that the corpses contained in this longevity material were to be sent to Changzi City to be used as casting materials.
In order to maintain the vitality of the corpse, they performed some treatments on the corpse.
Gu Xi didn't pay much attention to it before.
Every necromancer has a corresponding way of dealing with corpses.
And it's not just necromancers who need corpses. Swordsmiths and architects also need corpses when performing life sacrifices or driving piles.
Gu Xi has heard about this situation, but he doesn't grasp the details well.
As these corpses would not affect Gu Xi, Gu Xi would not think much about it.
But now as soon as the conductor in front of him reminded him, Gu Xi knew that the problem lay with these corpses.
Without even thinking about it, Gu Xi understood that it must have been when he was studying and reading that the aura of the undead emitted stimulated the corpse placed in the longevity material, causing some changes in the corpse.
This is just the beginning of the change, and things are still under control.
But Gu Xi would have to sit here for more than two days.
Unless Gu Xi stops studying, as long as he studies, the undead aura emanating from him will stimulate the corpse and eventually cause the corpse to mutate.
If this continues, when they reach Changzi City, the situation will become very bad when they deliver the goods.
So after the conductor discovered the problem for the first time, he thought of a solution to the problem.
Address the people who are causing the problems.
Gu Xi will cause the corpse to mutate here, so move Gu Xi to a carriage without a corpse.
Of course, because this required Gu Xi to change seats temporarily, the conductor was not stupid. He naturally wanted to arrange a better seat for Gu Xi.
Otherwise Gu Xi wouldn't do such a thing.
And in order to appease Gu Xi, the conductor seemed to have to spend a lot of money.
Gu Xi just turned his head and understood the conductor's reaction.
He didn't think much about it, "Okay, I just think it's uncomfortable to sit here. Let's change seats."
Hearing Gu Xi's words, a happy look flashed in the conductor's eyes.
"That's great, I'll take you there now."
As the conductor spoke, he led Gu Xi outside.
In his mind, he really wanted to lead Gu Xi to another location.
And play a song like sending a message to the God of Plague to sweep away the bad luck on your body.
If Gu Xi is allowed to stay here any longer, he will suffer huge losses.
And the loss is not important. The most important thing is what if Gu Xi is bored and communicates with the corpse in Shoucai and accidentally learns their secret.
This route can bring in nearly 200,000 yuan per trip for each member of their train crew.
This is the basis for their ability to live in Yuanzu City.
No one will have trouble with money, and no one will want to leave Yuanzu City.
Therefore, the conductor did not dare to be careless.
At least he didn't dare to let Gu Xi stay here any longer.
Although Gu Xi didn't understand the conductor's mentality, he could see the conductor's current expression.
After thinking for a moment, Gu Xi made his request.
"By the way, this time I want the seat by the window. At least I can see the scenery outside."
"This... okay, no problem."
