Chapter 908: Robin and the Orient Express (5)
Mixed with the muffled sound of metal falling on the heavy red carpet, the three, including Cooper, were trapped in a square iron cage more than two meters high.
Anyway, the manufacture of this thing is quite exquisite, An Yizhi clearly remembers that when he came in, there were only a few ceiling lamps hidden in the ceiling on the roof of the carriage, and there was no trace of any iron cage.
And if you look up now, you can see a long chain hanging from the cracked ceiling, one end of the chain is connected to the iron cage, which should be an anti-theft device that can be retracted and put back, and the reaction speed is quite fast, as long as the glass cover is opened, the iron cage will fall.
"This is a mechanism that I specially asked a craftsman to modify, but since the craftsmen can't guarantee the accuracy, I have to make the iron cage larger."
As he spoke, Cooper showed a regretful expression:
"If Mr. Edward were to be resurrected, he would have made countless times more sophisticated, oh, sorry, Miss Anasta"
Anasta waved her hand to show that she didn't mind.
As the two of them spoke, An Yizhi was studying the falling iron cage.
The railings of the cage were spaced very narrowly, and Ann tried it with his fingers, and with his physique, it was impossible to get out of the gap, and it was likely to get stuck on it.
But......
"Mr. Cooper, I wonder if you've ever heard of the Bone Shrinking Technique?"
Cooper was stunned for a moment, then smiled:
"I've heard that it's a special technique that allows people to get through tight places that ordinary people can't pass through, do you suspect that Robin will probably do the same to escape from the iron cage?"
An Yizhi nodded, although the gap in the iron cage was narrow, it was not a distance that could not be crossed, especially since the other party was a world-famous monster thief, An Yizhi was really not sure what kind of ability the system would give this monster thief.
"You can pick any direction and reach out and press the floor."
An Yizhi hesitated for a moment, then crouched down and reached through the iron bar to press on the floor outside.
The next moment, he heard a muffled thud, and a large net was placed in his place as if it had been fired from a trap.
"As soon as the cage falls, the second layer of mechanism will be triggered, and anyone who tries to get out of the cage will be trapped in the trap, and the rest will be much easier."
Looking at the net trap that appeared in the corner of the ceiling, An Yizhi nodded in understanding.
The anti-theft facilities are quite perfect, but ......
I guess it's useless.
–‐‐——–‐‐——
Cooper was prepared to use more than that to deal with Robin, the car was almost completely airtight, and the door could only be opened from the outside, and the security personnel changed shifts every three hours to ensure that there were people watching the car twenty-four hours a day, and every shift change even if they came back from the toilet had to be reviewed, that is, to make sure that no Robin was mixed in among them.
Unless Robin was a formless ghost, it was impossible to steal anything from such a tight guard.
Cooper seemed confident, but Ann knew very well that these arrangements were of little use.
Although he didn't think of a way to crack it for the time being, don't forget, this is a game.
The main quest given by the system says 'Retrieve the Master Key' instead of protecting the gem from being stolen, which already shows that according to Cooper's settings, the gem will definitely be stolen by Robin, so the system does not require the player to protect it.
Moreover, if the anti-theft facilities are really useful, then there is no point in the system throwing An Yizhi into this copy.
Of course, it is impossible for An Yizhi to say these words to Cooper, even if it is useless to remind him that your anti-theft facilities are useless, but will be considered by Cooper that An Yizhi has a small amount of energy.
There were two hosts of the trip, both with the idea of catching Robin, and Cooper took out a specially designed carriage full of traps and colored heads, while Anasta had to ask Ann for help.
From the point of view of face, the judgment is made.
Perhaps Cooper's ostentatious smile had something to do with it.
- This kind of thinking is a bit worse.
After demonstrating his anti-theft facilities to the two of them, and ordering his men to reset the mechanism, Cooper took out his pocket watch and looked at the time, and then invited the two to dinner together.
It's just over five o'clock, the sun hasn't completely set, and dinner is a little early.
An Yi is a player, as long as the system does not turn on the eating mode, he does not need to eat, while Anasta is an artificial person who relies on the core action of alchemy, and it is more troublesome after eating, and he also needs to take out the stomach bag and clean it.
But since Cooper said so, it was difficult for the two to refuse.
The three of them went to the restaurant and found a seat to sit down, and Cooper sat across from them and called the conductor to order the menu.
The menu was full of letters, and for An Yizhi, he couldn't understand the stars at all, so in order not to show his timidity, he could only pretend to understand and say to the conductor that it was the same as Cooper.
The food on the Orient Express is not the fast food on the ordinary train, and it is not inferior to the standards of a high-end restaurant, both in terms of taste and decoration......
Or the price.
I have to thank Anasta for her carefulness, and give An Yizhi some activity funds in advance, otherwise the penniless An Yizhi can only let the girl pay the bill, although An Yizhi himself is thick-skinned and doesn't care much, but it is not a comfortable experience for other people's eyes to pierce it.
Anasta doesn't drink alcohol, she needs to use hot drinks such as black tea to maintain her body temperature, so she doesn't eat much during meals, mainly drinking a lot of black tea.
An Yizhi tasted the loss of lack of culture.
There was a plate of French wine snails in front of him, and he knew that Cooper had ordered this thing, and Ann pointed out that he should not be the same as him.
Although he comes from a big foodie country, An Yizhi has always been very resistant to eating insects, and he can only hypnotize himself, imagining the snail on the plate as a conch......
Anyway, they're all mollusks, so they should be pretty much the same.
During the meal, Cooper kept asking An Yizhi about those things about his solving the case, but An Yizhi's identity as a detective was imposed by the system, and he knew what cases he had solved in the background of the story, so he could only talk about his prevarication in order not to show his stuffing.
Cooper naturally saw that Ann Yizhi didn't want to talk more, and he was very knowledgeable and naturally shifted the topic to chatting with Anasta, and most of the two talked about some interesting things in high society, or some German people were going on a revolution at home.
Having said that, An's memory of the revolution in Germany was supposed to be shortly after the end of World War I, so how did it move to the 1930s?
Later, I thought about it, anyway, this world is a temporary copy, so the system can do whatever it says......
He cares more about the main quest and the side quests than that.
He has a general understanding of the terrain in the train, and the number of passengers and staff is too large, and it is impossible for An Yizhi to run to interrogate one by one to find flaws, so the efficiency is too low, and the system is unlikely to set up such clues.
From An Yizhi to enter the dungeon, it has only been more than two hours now, and the dungeon has just begun, according to the system's consistent routine, it is not too much to give the player too many clues in the early stage, but will gradually give the player hints as the plot progresses step by step, and guide the player to complete the main quest.
An pointed to the red wine of unknown year, and sorted through the information obtained so far in his mind.
The first one, of course, is that there is information about Robin.
Whether it was Anasta or Cooper, the information that Ann had knocked on from them was not much different from the image of Robin in his head.
If I have to say it, it's probably an enhanced version of Robin in my head.
He's elusive, and no one knows his true colors, so it's rumored that Robin isn't alone, but more likely an organization.
But it's certain that as long as Robin wants to steal, there's nothing he can't steal.
Anasta said that Master Edward had fought many duels with him, and that Edward's ability to create artificial humans, comparable to the mechanical manufacturing ability of the gods, could not catch the great thief with the mechanism he made, which shows that his ability has far surpassed that of the real monster thief Robin.
Therefore, An Yizhi imagined him as wearing Robin's name, but his behavior and abilities were as strong as the aggregate of all the strange thief characters in later generations.
Robin is a very artistic connoisseur, and from the information he has obtained, he will not steal money, but will steal famous paintings, precious gems, antiques, etc.
Or maybe it's because these things are more valuable.
However, the bitter masters who were stolen by Robin are generally rich and unkind guys, which is why Robin has the reputation of a thief.
In other words, the seemingly approachable Mr. Cooper in front of him is not a good person.
This is a clue, although Ann Yizhi feels that it has little to do with the main line.
One of the side quests is to ensure Anasta's survival, and Robin rarely hurts or kills, so the life-threatening factors for Anasta come from other directions.
And a guy who is not a good person, of course, is the object of Ann's suspicion.
He even thought of a reason, eighty percent of it was for money or something, after all, Anasta had become all the assets of Master Edward, and there were many people who beat her idea, not less than Cooper.
Of course, this is all Ann Yizhi's malicious speculation, and it can't be used as real evidence, but it is enough to make him wary of Cooper.
With these spinning in his mind, Ann put down his wine glass and looked through the car window to see a tunnel with a black hole.
It looks like the train is about to pass through this tunnel.
The surrounding light quickly dimmed, and since it was not yet night, there were no headlights in the dining room, only the faint candle flame placed on the table to decorate the atmosphere, and the flickering light of the fire reflected a large shadow.
The passengers are obviously used to it, and people look at themselves as they should do what they do.
At this time, An Yizhi felt a gust of wind flashing from the back of his head, and it felt like someone was walking from behind.
He turned his head to look, but found no one, as if the gust of wind was nothing more than his delusion.
"Mr. An, is there something wrong?"
Cooper asked strangely, and Anasta looked at Ann with a puzzled expression.
As the train passed through the tunnel, and Sunset re-entered the carriage, Ann was about to explain how he had just felt, when he turned his head to see a piece of cardboard taped to Anasta on his back.
He took off the piece of paper and read the above sentence as they looked at each other in amazement:
"Tonight I will take the 'Blue Star' and go with the waves, no one can stop me"
