The space inside the Train was chaotic yet orderly.
After leading Q Ling Meng through three Carriages in a row, Bai Zhi came to understand this.
When you passed through the door at the carriage connection into the next carriage, then turned back right afterward, the carriage you had originally been in was no longer any of the carriages you had previously known.
Carriage 13 was followed by carriage 21, carriage 21 was followed by carriage 15, carriage 15 was followed by carriage 31, and carriage 31 was followed by carriage 13... It was roughly that kind of complicated cycle.
If he wanted to determine the rules governing movement inside the Train, he would need a great deal of experimental data to verify them. Obviously, Bai Zhi did not have that much time or energy to spare.
So far, he had passed through three carriages in succession. Apart from the first, fully awakened carriage, the latter two had remained intact and orderly, but making his way through them had still been fraught with danger.
