The strong figure suddenly collapsed, and blood flowed from beneath him.
The two Black men walking behind quickly stepped back to show that they had nothing to do with it.
Ahead, Bai Ze and Bai Biqiu also turned around and looked, their gazes sharpening.
At the same time, a golden light pierced the sky, swept over everyone, and landed directly in front of Gino Brand.
The train conductor materialized into a golden figure, looking down at the lifeless body, with tangible energy emanating from him.
Without a doubt, Gino Brand is dead, right after he left the auction hall.
This is practically equivalent to dying right under the train conductor's nose.
"It has nothing to do with us."
Two Black men wearing real-time translators were speaking rapidly, saying, "He suddenly collapsed, with two more wounds on his body, both sword wounds."
As he spoke, the Black man displayed his weapons, indicating that they were completely free of blood.
The people behind quickly stepped forward. Among them, Ekaterina first looked at "Bai Ze" suspiciously, then her gaze sharpened and she stared at the corpse.
"There is an energy fluctuation," Ekaterina said.
Upon hearing this, everyone else's expression changed.
"Elemental energy" is the Western cultural term for vital energy. The presence of Elemental energy fluctuations indicates that Geno Brand died from the influence of vital energy.
Otherwise, even if he were stabbed in a vital spot, he could still withstand the attack for two or three minutes thanks to his high-level martial artist physique.
However, one cannot let one's true energy and spiritual power leave the body on a train.
"His organs were all damaged, and he died in an instant. It seems that our train really has a serious safety hazard."
The train conductor's voice lost its previous gentleness, becoming as cold as ice.
His words confirmed the earlier speculation that Gino Brand died from his internal energy.
Furthermore, judging from the fact that he had wounds but no weapon, he was most likely killed by sword energy or by having his internal organs ruptured in an instant.
"We didn't see anything, it wasn't us," the two Black men said in unison.
Bai Ze and Bai Biqiu, who were walking ahead, also had solemn expressions, indicating that they had not noticed anything unusual.
Following the Black Continent people was a group from Dongxia, who had been discussing the auction in hushed tones and hadn't even noticed what was happening.
Even though their spiritual energy couldn't leave their bodies, their perception was far superior to that of ordinary martial artists, and they didn't notice anything unusual at all.
Gino Brand is dead.
There are too many doubts, but considering that Lucius died in his own room earlier, it seems that some of the doubts have been answered.
If one can project their true energy and spiritual power, then it is indeed possible to sneak into Lucius's room and kill him.
It's also possible that he could kill Gino Brand, who was unable to release his true energy and spiritual power, in an instant, and who had relaxed his vigilance in this regard because of this situation.
At this moment, the train conductor spoke up: "Passengers, the train will eliminate the safety hazard as soon as possible, please pay attention to safety."
After saying that, he waved his hand and sent out a golden light that swept the corpse back to the auction hall.
They just left like that.
Or perhaps the train conductor already has someone he suspects.
Bai Ze thought to himself.
With this thought in mind, under the cover of illusion, he whispered in a low voice, "Let's make an exchange."
Ten minutes later, Bai Ze walked out of the small room in the external liaison office.
At this point, he had regained his original appearance.
Meanwhile, in the original room, another "Sergei" is logging into the WanYiZhiJi website.
Bai Ze walked out of the external liaison office and headed straight for the guest room carriage.
But instead of returning to Bai Ze's room, he stopped in front of a guest room with its door wide open.
.
Inside the guest room, Ekaterina sat quietly on the sofa. A cup of black tea sat on the coffee table in front of her, and another cup sat opposite her, but no one was sitting there.
The nun stood behind Catherine, but she did not sit down.
Wisps of steam rose, carrying the delicate aroma of tea, attracting passersby outside the door.
Bai Ze walked straight to the seat opposite Catherine and sat down, looking at the red tea in front of him, and said, "Is this for an appointment with me?"
"This is prepared for you before the black tea gets cold."
Ekaterina said calmly, "You are certainly not a fool, approaching me before the tea went cold. But this also reveals your connection to the writer."
On the surface, Bai Ze seemed completely unaware of the many inside stories.
The fact that he would take the initiative to sit in front of Catherine at this moment can only mean that he knows enough.
This includes the fact that the mastermind behind the Wan Yi Zhi Ji (万易之集) is related to Catherine the Great.
Only in this way would he seek out Ekaterina at this critical juncture, asking her to answer his questions.
"You guessed right, Comrade."
Bai Ze chuckled lightly, "You guessed right, I did have contact with that self-proclaimed writer. He helped me find my enemy. However, you shouldn't think I'm the murderer, at least not the killer of a third person."
Prior to this, Ekaterina had been keeping a close eye on "Bai Ze," clearly believing that Bai Ze was capable of killing.
But after Gino Brand died outside the auction hall, Ekaterina's views changed.
"Because I cannot project my true energy or spiritual power."
Bai Ze met Ekaterina's sky-blue eyes and said, "You're also sure I can't do that, but at the same time, doesn't that prove you know how to project your true energy and spiritual power onto the train?"
"It seems you have your answer," Ekaterina said calmly.
"The answer has always been right in front of us," Bai Ze said. "The train conductor can manipulate invisible forces, and the train captain is composed of energy. The train crew members are obviously capable of releasing their true energy and spiritual power. However, the God of Commerce must abide by the contract and cannot go against his own foundation."
"Therefore, I boldly speculate that the rulers of the Wan Yi Zhi Ji may also be regarded as one of their own by the train."
This is Bai Ze's guess.
Those who tamper with auction items either possess the ability to disregard the suppression of evil gods, similar to the power of words.
Either they are not suppressed by evil gods at all.
Even with unique awakened abilities, they still require internal energy or spiritual power to activate. In a sense, awakened abilities are a unique cultivation technique.
If one cannot project true energy and spiritual power outwards, then awakened abilities, and even innate supernatural powers, cannot have any effect on the outside world.
The evil god and his minions must abide by the contract, but the others who control the myriad changes may not.
Bai Ze deliberately killed Gino Brand in full view of everyone to confirm his suspicions.
"You guessed right, there are indeed people who can both disregard contracts and remain unrestrained."
Ekaterina nodded, her gaze deep and thoughtful. "However, only those who are on par with the God of Commerce have this qualification. Even I cannot do it."
"So... there's an expert on the train right now?" Bai Ze nodded knowingly.
The train conductor was clearly angry because of this.
Because of the energy fluctuations left at the scene, he mistakenly believed that an "expert" had committed the murder.
The train conductor may have even had contact with the man and believed he had a motive to kill him.
“I want to find him,” Ekaterina said. “He has seriously violated the train’s regulations and affected the interests of Wan Yi Zhi Ji. The god of commerce will surely take this opportunity to remove him from the leadership, and the writer may get a chance to sit at the table.”
"It's more likely that military strategists will seize the opportunity to profit from it," Bai Ze said with a smile.
This opportunity is more favorable to other "experts" than to writers who haven't even been invited to the table yet.
However, there is still room for negotiation.
Just as Bai Ze was about to speak, the train suddenly shook.
At the same time, some traces that shouldn't belong to the mountain and sea realm appeared outside the car window.
It was a building covered by vegetation, but some features were still visible; it was a modern concrete ruin.
More and more building debris and traces flashed past the car, including tall buildings covered in green plants, broken streetlights, and vehicles covered in rust.
Bai Ze even saw familiar characters.
That's "Japanese script".
