He was not afraid of Mu Rufeng at all. If he encountered an enemy he could not handle, he could summon the Train Conductor.
On the Bloody Train, the Train Conductor was king—an invincible existence.
Though the attendant could not be sure whether Mu Rufeng had contracted a ghostly entity,
anyone who could send him flying must be a contractor who had contracted a ghostly entity.
"Is this how the attendants on your train treat guests?"
"I merely wanted to go to the Dining Car to eat, yet you attacked me without a word."
"Call your superior over. I want to see just how dark the service on your train really is."
Mu Rufeng took out his meal card, his face wearing an indignant expression.
The moment the meal card appeared, the attendant's expression changed instantly.
If Mu Rufeng had merely entered their carriage without permission, then the attendant could deal with him however he pleased without any issue.
But now that the meal card had appeared, things were different.
If the Train Conductor were truly summoned, he would probably be stuffed straight into the furnace as fuel for the train.
"Th-this gentleman, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I was rude. Please forgive me." The attendant changed his attitude in an instant and hurried forward to apologize.
"Same as before. One slap, one hundred bucks," Mu Rufeng said calmly.
"No problem, sir. Would you prefer the left side or the right?"
"The left. I'm a sentimental man."
"Very well, sir. Please." The attendant tilted his head, trying his best to present his left side to Mu Rufeng.
Mu Rufeng immediately gripped that stack of banknotes and viciously swung it into the attendant's face.
The tremendous force instantly sent the attendant flying to the left.
Yet the very next second, a bandage shot out and yanked the attendant back.
That was not all. It swept around him, pinning the attendant firmly to the aisle.
Slap! Slap, slap!
Slap slap slap—slap!
"Sorry, I hit you a few extra times. Don't worry, I won't short you on the money."
Mu Rufeng pulled out more than a dozen bills and casually tossed them onto the floor before striding toward Carriage No. 4.
As he passed Xue Fan and Shen Yu, he paused and said, "You two stay here and relax. Nothing will happen."
After saying that, Mu Rufeng vanished through the connection between the carriages without waiting for them to speak.
Shen Yu and Xue Fan looked at each other, utterly baffled. Their hearts were filled with ten thousand questions.
With Mu Rufeng gone, the bandages naturally left with him.
The attendant was thus freed as well.
But his entire left cheek had been beaten to mush; even the bones inside had shattered.
No one knew how many times his entire head had spun around.
He could count himself lucky. Mu Rufeng's final blow had at least knocked the attendant's head back into place.
The moment Mu Rufeng made his move, every passenger in the carriage—whether newcomer player or oddity—did not dare breathe a word.
Even after Mu Rufeng left, those oddities only dared to whisper among themselves.
The sheer imposing aura Mu Rufeng had displayed when beating someone with banknotes earlier had been overwhelming.
Not only was his presence overwhelming, his strength was terrifying too. He had actually smashed the attendant's face apart with soul currency.
If he used his fists, or the kitchen knife tucked into his waist, would he not kill them in the blink of an eye?
The attendant put his head back in place, then swiftly gathered up the soul currency scattered across the floor.
"Everyone, does anyone else need a meal? If not, I'll put the food away."
As though nothing had happened, the attendant returned to the cart and asked the passengers.
Carriage No. 4.
The moment Mu Rufeng entered, he felt the extreme chill within the carriage.
The other carriages were roughly seventeen or eighteen degrees. Though somewhat cold, they were still bearable.
But here, turning dripping water into ice would be no problem at all.
Even with his physique now strengthened tenfold, Mu Rufeng could feel that biting cold.
At that moment, a gust of sinister wind blew over, making Mu Rufeng shudder involuntarily.
There were many newcomer players here—five in all. Every one of them was shivering violently from the cold, completely curled up in their seats.
It seemed that only by doing so could they resist the bitter cold.
Not only the newcomer players, even the oddities were shivering from the cold.
The attendant of Carriage No. 4 was sitting in an empty seat in the first row.
When he saw Mu Rufeng arrive, he had no desire to acknowledge him at all. He was freezing too and did not want to move in the slightest.
"Tell me, why is the air conditioning set so low here?" Mu Rufeng asked, looking at the icy air pouring from the vent above.
He had to ask. The oddities could still endure it, but those five newcomer players probably would not last much longer.
If Mu Rufeng had not seen them, it would have had nothing to do with him. But since he had seen them and had the ability to help, he did not mind lending a hand.
"R-rat, this is none of your business. Leave immediately, or I wouldn't mind eating you to warm myself up," the attendant said.
Mu Rufeng ignored the attendant, because his gaze had been drawn to a strange passenger.
It was an oddity blackened from head to toe.
Black smoke rose from all over his body. Through his charred skin, Mu Rufeng could faintly see flickers of firelight.
The Charred Oddity seemed to notice Mu Rufeng's gaze as well.
He raised his head, looked at Mu Rufeng, and slowly said, "Sorry. I'm simply too hot, so I had the attendant turn the air conditioning down a little."
"If they cannot endure it, they can switch seats and sit near me."
Mu Rufeng said nothing, staring fixedly at the Charred Oddity.
Suddenly, Mu Rufeng said, "You were a Firefighter? The thing covering your head is a melted firefighter's helmet, isn't it?"
The Charred Oddity was slightly stunned upon hearing this, then slowly nodded.
"Changing seats costs fifty soul coins each time. It is nothing to me, but I'm sorry, I've been a little short on money lately."
"I'm injured. If I do not use the air conditioning to suppress it, I'll lose my mind," the Charred Oddity added.
"It's fine. I'll pay. Attendant, come here."
Mu Rufeng called out.
The attendant ignored him. But when the Charred Oddity released a faint trace of ghostly aura,
the attendant reluctantly walked over.
Mu Rufeng nodded toward the newcomer players, then had all their seats switched to positions in front of, behind, and beside the Charred Oddity.
The five players were so cold that they could not move at all. Mu Rufeng had to carry them over to their seats one by one.
Truly, if Mu Rufeng had arrived even a few minutes later, those five players really would have frozen to death.
"You've solved a troublesome problem for me. You should be able to return at the next station, right? As long as you stay here, I can ensure you return safely," the Charred Oddity said.
