Tribute to the Demon King

Good night, children, go to bed... Tomorrow I really have to lie down and code! (make a fist)

Chapter 170 Three Auction Without a Host

After the conductor Rodin heard the scream, the expressionless face like a corpse suddenly changed color.

"That is……"

He murmured in a low voice, and his expression suddenly became gloomy.

There were hardly any omens—no special brilliance, no magical vibrations.As if dazzled, the train conductor Rodin suddenly disappeared in front of everyone, and even Rin Tohsaka, who had been staring at him, didn't notice how he disappeared.

However, at this time, no one cared about the way the train conductor disappeared... It's better to say that the auctioneer who just left the car without telling everyone where the house was when we first met is even more so. Let these bigwigs feel dissatisfied.

"What is that guy in a hurry for?"

"What just happened?"

"Probably a staff member was killed... Anyway, it has nothing to do with us."

Because of the sudden unexpected situation, the participants in the auction muttered with dissatisfaction.

But even so, they still remain rational.No one was making loud noises, and no one was walking around indiscriminately.Everyone stood in place, looking at the surrounding environment vigilantly and casually talking nonsense with those around them.

This is undoubtedly the most correct choice.

Those who can be invited to the magic eye collection train, whether they are ordinary people or magicians, their own excellence is unquestionable.

Don't tell me there's something wrong with the car next door.Even if the problem is theirs, I'm afraid they will only be slightly surprised, and then deal with it in the most "correct" way.

After all, in their position, apart from their own death crisis and the miracle that is close at hand, there is very little that can move them.Keeping the brain awake and the fastest response ability at all times is the basic quality to maintain one's status.

Whether something serious happened to a nearby car or something was in danger, someone else was taking care of it.Since it has nothing to do with you, don't jump out and be the leader—only keeping the same action pattern as others around you is the safest and most trouble-free strategy.

... But even so, it is reasonable to complain about the train conductor.

"I think," Zhou Yi thought for a while, but whispered to Tosaka Tokiomi beside him, "We have to go and have a look."

"Okay, listen to you."

Tosaka Tokiomi nodded solemnly, pulled Rin beside him and followed Zhou Yi to the next carriage.Rin didn't say anything, just followed his father with a serious face and walked over.

Seeing Rin and him reacting like this, Zhou Yi couldn't help but pause.

"You... well, forget it."

He looked back at Tohsaka and his daughter, and after pondering for a while, he still closed his mouth with a brisk smile on his face.

Looking at Zhou Yi who stopped abruptly in the middle of speaking, Tosaka Tokiomi looked puzzled.

While the three of Zhou Yi were dawdling here, Jie Li, the lion next to him, had already rushed into the carriage next door.

But Lion Jie just pushed open the door, as if he saw something unexpected, his forward pace suddenly stopped.

"Wait a minute, Mr. Eindsworth...don't go there yet."

Lion Jie Jieli's voice became tense: "There is something ahead...let me confirm it first."

"I understand, don't worry about me."

Zhou Yi sighed slightly, interrupted Shi Shijie's words, and asked softly: "It's blood, right?"

Lion Jie nodded silently, and slightly lifted his right hand that had just opened the door.

His fingers were covered with sticky blood that hadn't had time to turn black and still had a trace of warmth.

"Okay," Zhou Yi nodded gently, and asked Rin, "Little Rin, are you afraid?"

"……of course not."

Rin hesitated for a moment, then looked seriously into Zhou Yi's eyes and said, "I can't be afraid."

Can't...?

Zhou Yi smiled lightly and rubbed Rin's hair, and said approvingly: "Good boy. You will become a great person."

Following these words, his demeanor suddenly changed.

If the previous Zhou Yi looked like a mysterious magician, an elegant noble...then now Zhou Yi suddenly has a leader-like majesty.

"Ein...no, it's fine."

This time Lion Jie didn't try to stop Zhou Yi again.Looking at Zhou Yi's back, he felt that he suddenly understood him.

Although he didn't know where Zhou Yi's confidence came from, Shi Shijie suddenly felt a kind of complete trust in his heart.

only……

He glanced at Tohsaka Rin hesitantly.

Wouldn't it be bad for children to see such a scene?

But since it was Mr. Eindsworth's decision, then he should not block it.

Unknowingly, Shishi Jie's criteria for judging certain things were invisibly changed.

Tosaka Tokiomi looked at Zhou Yi with an inexplicable gaze, and there seemed to be some inexplicable light shining in it.He was stunned for a long time, and then he reacted when Rin pulled his trousers without showing any signs, coughed lightly and walked into the next carriage, closing the blood-stained door by the way.

——Although I had already prepared myself mentally, I was still taken aback when Rin walked into this compartment.
