Geographical Knowledge
Admittedly, Feng Xue was genuinely a little flustered the moment the time on her pocket watch changed.
In his understanding, this Weird Tale should be the kind where something happens along the way that prevents the person from reaching their destination.
That's why he took the initiative to investigate danger and eliminate various unexpected situations. But if the essence of this Weird Tale is a time loop, or even worse, time reversal, then everything he did was in vain.
However, when he put his hands in his pockets, his mood improved a little; at least, the bomb parts were still in his pockets.
In other words, these things did not return to their original positions as time went on.
But what's the point of time reversal if it doesn't bring back the items? Is it just about prolonging the journey?
Feng Xue took out her phone and looked at the clock showing 17:08. She was finally certain that the pocket watch wasn't the problem, and a headache began to creep into her heart.
As for the fact that it gets dark at only five o'clock, Feng Xue was not surprised at all. At this time, the car had entered a high-latitude region. It is common sense that it gets dark at five o'clock in winter, but in summer, it is normal to have no night at all.
However, this display...
Feng Xue suddenly felt something was wrong, so she immediately took out her phone and carefully checked the screen. She finally noticed that the position of the clock was a little different from how she usually saw it.
"Bell time zone... damn it!"
Clicking on the clock and looking at the time zone, Feng Xue's face immediately darkened. In that instant, he realized that he had been overthinking things. This so-called time change was not a real time reversal, but merely a change to the time zone of the new country the moment he crossed the border.
Kent Country's time zone is the same as the original time zone, so there was no problem crossing the border. However, the time difference between Bell Country and Kent Country is five hours, so at the moment of crossing the border, all the clocks on the vehicle were turned back five hours.
"You scared me! You really scared me to death!"
Feng Xue let out a long sigh of relief, feeling a slight soreness all over her body. This wasn't a physical burden, but rather a psychological one caused by the countless inquiries filled with intense killing intent she had received in that instant.
"Excuse me, passenger, how can I help you...?"
"Grass!"
Hearing the voice in his ear, Feng Xue suddenly shuddered. Then he saw a flight attendant in a blue uniform pushing a trolley, smiling at him from the Room Door that hadn't been closed yet.
"I didn't call a flight attendant."
Feng Xue carefully examined the flight attendant, confirming that she was indeed wearing a blue uniform, and not some oddity like blue on the front and red on the back, before responding. The flight attendant, upon hearing this, simply smiled and shook her head.
"No, sir, it's dinner time now. Would you like some food? If you need instant noodles, there's hot water available 24 hours a day at the back of the carriage..."
Hearing the other person's words, Feng Xue took out her phone again and glanced at it. Remembering that food was indeed served after 5 PM, she shook her head and replied:
"No need, I still have food with me."
"Okay, if you need anything, you can just ring the bell."
Leaving behind a sweet smile, the flight attendant pushed the cart and turned to leave. Feng Xue watched the ragged young women flashing past the window from time to time, her lips twitching slightly.
He reached out and closed the door, then looked out the window, ignoring the female ghosts floating around trying to attract Feng Xue's attention, but his eyes felt a little swollen.
"Looks like I'll need to wear sunglasses tomorrow during the day, otherwise the snow might cause snow blindness."
Feng Xue recalled the snow-related knowledge his friend from Northeast China had told him. Among his pile of miscellaneous Phantom Object, he found a pair of sunglasses that had no effect other than "immunity to the Sun Fist." He placed them by his side, sat down quietly to meditate, and tried to adjust his mind to recover from the backlash caused by the forced tearing of his senses by the year's ruling deity.
But...
"Ouija board spirit, come out for a moment!" Feng Xue, who couldn't calm down no matter what she did, sighed helplessly, took out her expensive fountain pen, and shook it vigorously twice.
The spirit of the Ouija board peeked out from the pen, looked around a few times, and, realizing it wasn't there to fight, asked in confusion:
"What do you want?"
"I just used Tai Sui," Feng Xue said with a straight face. Upon hearing this, the spirit of the pen blushed and then muttered curses:
"Find whoever caused the trouble!"
"I can't help it, I prefer Black Long Straight Hair to white hair!" After saying that, Feng Xue reached out and pulled the curtains on the door and window, beginning to eliminate the side effects of the Time Stop Pocket Watch...
As midnight struck again, the lights on K7 Train went out once more. Having completely exhausted the bitterness in her mind, Feng Xue took advantage of this moment of clarity and left the room once more.
This time, however, he didn't move forward. Instead, he took out the Omni-Press Drive and put it on his waist.
"SCLASH S-Clash Driver"
The long-awaited sound effect rang out, the Orca Authority was activated, and the jelly bottle was immediately inserted into the slot.
"KILLER WHALE Whale Jelly"
"Transform!"
Pressing down the lever forcefully caused a beaker-like structure to gush out along with the gel-like substance, completely covering Feng Xue's body.
"Crushed~flowing~overflowing~~"
"KILLER WHALE IN WEIGHT-D (KILLER WHALE POWER - Deep Sea Pressure Form)"
Kamen Rider Orca transforms again, and without saying a word, Feng Xue directly opens the emergency exit on the roof of the train and jumps out of the train in two steps.
Despite the armor's "extremely strong environmental adaptability," it showed no reaction in the biting cold wind. Braving the resistance from the gale, Feng Xue strode forward and charged towards the front of the vehicle.
Using Kamen Rider's mobility to run a train would be a waste, but as he moved, a series of whooshing sounds came from behind him.
"What the hell?"
It was clearly the sound of something cutting through the air, and Feng Xue wasn't currently equipped with any firearms, but the [Arrow Protection] ability didn't react at all.
The Martial Artist uses sound to pinpoint Circle Realm, objects tracing elegant arcs begin to appear in his perception.
"Birds?" Feng Xue almost immediately recalled the "wild animals" that had previously dragged the Ghost Girl Lin Jiaxin out of the window. With a flick of her fingers, a series of Mindless Divine Power shot through the air, shooting down all the wild birds.
But before he could even catch his breath, the snow on the roadside suddenly burst open, and a giant White Bear, over five meters tall, stood upright. Its enormous Bear Paw caught up with the speeding train and Feng Xue, who was riding on it, and slammed down on his head as if ignoring the distance.
"It's absurd to find polar bears at this latitude..."
Feng Xue didn't even have time to complain about the bear's size before a bag of salt appeared in his hand.
With a flick of his fingers, the salt bag tore open, and the salt grains, infused with his Internal Force, were scattered out, transforming into two white arrows that struck the White Bear's eyes before reaching it.
"Aww~!"
A piercing scream emanated from the White Bear's mouth, but Feng Xue White Bear its next move and simply strode towards the front of the car...
