A speeding train. A girl with a dust-covered face clung tightly to a young man, looking up at her mother beside her. Her slightly dim eyes were full of worry: "Mom, when will big brother wake up?"

The mother wiped the tear-streaked face of her daughter and gently comforted her: "Audrey, big brother will wake up soon. Let's pray for him together, okay?"

This mother and daughter were none other than Ella and Audrey Hepburn, and the one lying in Audrey's arms was Alex. In the Danish forest, Alex had fallen into a coma after forcibly using Teleportation to bring people with him. The three who were exposed were captured by the ** and immediately put on this train, whose destination was Poland, Auschwitz Concentration Camp.

Audrey gently clasped her small hands, closed her eyes, and whispered a prayer: "Lord, please have mercy, save big brother, let him wake up soon. As long as big brother wakes up, Audrey will do anything!"

The awkward prayer made Ella both amused and despairing. Looking at Alex in Audrey's arms, her mood grew heavy. A whole day had passed, and there was still no sign of Alex waking up.

"I've been watching him lying here. What's wrong with him? Is he sick?" A thin middle-aged man squeezed over from a corner of the carriage, pointing at Alex in Audrey's arms. "I'm a doctor. Maybe I can help."

Ella didn't know why Alex had suddenly fallen into a coma, but she guessed it was caused by that miraculous "teleportation magic." Facing the uninvited doctor, Ella hesitated, unsure whether to let him examine Alex. She was afraid it might expose Alex's uniqueness.

While Ella was still hesitating, Audrey couldn't wait any longer. She grabbed the middle-aged man and shouted anxiously: "Doctor, please save big brother! Make him wake up quickly!"

Seeing this, Ella no longer stopped her. She signaled Audrey to let go of Alex and turned to the middle-aged man: "Then I'll trouble you, sir!"

"It's nothing!" The middle-aged man reached out his right hand and lifted Alex's eyelid, examining him carefully while casually saying, "I'm Jacob Eisenhart. You can call me Jacob."

"Hello, Jacob. I'm Ella." Feeling Jacob's goodwill, Ella relaxed a little. She pointed to Audrey, then to Alex lying on the floor, and said with a smile, "This is my daughter, Audrey. And my son, Alex."

"What a coincidence. I also have a son and a daughter, Marx and Ruth. They're on the train too." Jacob chuckled at this, then turned to Ella. "There's nothing wrong with Alex. He's just exhausted from overwork. He'll be fine after some rest."

Audrey grabbed Jacob, as if afraid he would leave, and said nervously: "But big brother has been asleep for almost a whole day and night!"

"Oh, Audrey, your brother will wake up soon. Trust me!" Jacob patted Audrey on the shoulder and said gently.

"Really?" Audrey looked at Alex with doubt and hope in her eyes.

While waiting, three more people squeezed over. The one in front was a middle-aged woman, holding a boy and a girl, both a little younger than Audrey.

"This is my wife, Edith." Jacob's thin face carried a faint smile as he pointed to the three children and introduced them: "Marx, Ruth, and this is Audrey. Audrey, these are Marx and Ruth."

Audrey glanced at the two children as a greeting, then turned back to stare nervously at Alex. In Audrey's eyes, her brother was clearly more important than these two kids.

Suddenly, Audrey cried out in surprise: "He's awake! Big brother is awake! His eyes just blinked!"

Alex woke up, finding himself lying in Audrey's arms, surrounded by people, with the stench of rot filling his nose.

"Where is this?"

"Big brother, you're awake! You're finally awake!" Ignoring Alex's question, Audrey hugged his head tightly, tears of joy streaming down her face.

Alex was momentarily dazed. It took him a while to come to his senses. Remembering how he had suddenly fainted during the Teleportation, he sat up abruptly, his face pale as he looked around. The dim carriage was packed with people. Alex's heart tightened. A bad feeling arose. He turned to Ella and asked hesitantly: "We've been captured?"

Ella looked at Alex, nodded, and said quietly: "We're on a train now. It's heading to Auschwitz."

"Auschwitz Concentration Camp?!" Alex was completely stunned at these words, his face losing all color.

"We have to leave. We have to leave now!" Without waiting for a response, Alex grabbed Audrey and Ella, intending to use Teleportation to escape this train heading toward death. But as soon as he tried to activate it, a sharp pain shot through his head, and beads of sweat the size of soybeans oozed from his temples.

Ella knew what Alex wanted to do. Seeing his pained expression, she quickly tried to soothe him: "Alex, don't push yourself. You just woke up!"

Alex gritted his teeth and tried several times despite the piercing pain in his head, but he failed every time. Teleportation was temporarily unusable. Alex's breath left him in a sigh. He became dejected, clutching his golden hair with both hands, burying his face deep in his arms.

Thinking of the immense harm he had brought to Angel because of his own actions, Alex couldn't help but sob. He was filled with regret now—regret for his recklessness, regret for his arrogance in thinking he could single-handedly rescue Angel from the depths of suffering. But in the end, the situation was even worse than the original history. Angel was about to be thrown into a concentration camp.

Hearing Alex's sobs, Audrey was stunned. Ella was stunned too.

Eisenhart was also stunned. Little Marx even thought to himself with some contempt: "This big brother is really fragile. I haven't even cried!"

Seeing the train gradually slow down, Alex knew they had arrived at Auschwitz. Auschwitz, near Warsaw, the capital of Poland. There were over forty camps here. In the coming years, millions would be killed here. It was truly a "death factory." Unfortunately, on this entire train, only Alex knew its horror.

During the three-day train journey, everyone had only one piece of black bread to survive. Starving people, seeing the train stop, swarmed out because the ** had told them earlier: "There will be food when you arrive."

Alex wrapped his arms around Audrey and Ella, shielding them as the frantic crowd rushed past. Only after everyone had left the carriage did Alex calmly pull Audrey and Ella out. The Eisenhart family followed closely behind. After two days together, Alex had a good impression of the Eisenharts and had quietly given them a few tips to be careful.

Getting off the train, they saw rows of ** holding guns, standing solemnly all around. Anyone who made any unusual move would be mercilessly beaten. Several people were already lying on the ground nearby.

Seeing this, Alex could only sigh helplessly. He had originally thought about taking advantage of the chaos to escape, but now it seemed there was no chance.

Following the crowd under the **'s rough guidance, Alex and the others slowly passed through an iron gate. Inside was an open area surrounded by dozens of low brick buildings. Rows of ** stood guard with guns.

"No matter what happens, don't get agitated." Alex knew these ** were inhuman, killing without blinking an eye. Provoking them would only bring trouble.

Everyone looked at each other after hearing Alex's words.

"They might separate us, but don't worry. I'll find you." Alex remembered from World War II movies that men and women were separated in the camps.

Audrey tightened her grip on Alex's arm, her face tense: "I don't want to be separated from big brother!"

Alex tightened his hold too, looking at Audrey and speaking softly: "Audrey, big brother will definitely take you out of here. Do you believe me?"

Audrey tilted her head and nodded firmly: "Audrey believes big brother."
