  Chen Mu sat on the long row of bullet trains, thinking deeply. This journey was undoubtedly the last danger, especially when getting off the train. If he could get through this pass, he would be close to true safety.

  From Dongshengwei City to Ami City, it takes six hours by long arrow train, the whole journey is underground and will not stop midway.

  Sitting in his seat, Chen Mu carefully observed his surroundings. He had taken this long bullet train many times before and was not unfamiliar with it.

  Beside him sat a woman of about thirty, dressed in simple attire without excessive adornment, appearing to be the kind-hearted wife.

  The program being played in the carriage is still "Shi Shi Chuan Shuo". After discovering that it was well-received, the staff of this high-speed train basically made it a staple program and play it every time.

  The lady beside him was watching "The Legend of the Swordsman" with great relish, clearly for the first time. She would cover her mouth in surprise from time to time, and furrow her brow in worry for the fate of the protagonist.

  He glanced around discreetly and didn't find any suspicious characters. Fortunately, everything was normal, which made Chen Mu slightly more at ease.

  He closed his eyes, the string of sudden events today had given him a strong sense of urgency, which also made him feel a bit tired. He needed to rest, what would happen later was unknown, fatigue would make his reactions slow.

  Suddenly, without warning, something seemed to be crawling under his skin! A chill ran down Chen Mu's spine as he opened his eyes.

  Enduring his quickening heartbeat, Chen Mu glanced at his wife beside him, who was completely absorbed in the scene and didn't even glance at him.

  Carefully rolling up his sleeves, Chen Mu's face changed immediately!

  A very fine, pale blue thread was faintly visible under his skin, slowly crawling. The strange feeling Chen Mu had just felt was caused by the crawling of this thread. This pale blue thread was extremely thin, like a hair, and it would be difficult to detect if one didn't look carefully.

  That green line! Chen Mu was like being struck by lightning, his heart surrounded by a huge fear, the scene of the female devil extracting this green line from the corpse in the forest he could never forget for his whole life.

  Chen Mu's eyes were somewhat dazed, and he didn't know if it was due to fear or not, but the squirming sensation of this green line became even clearer, causing his back to be soaked with sweat.

  Although Chen Mu had guessed that the devil girl would do something to her own body, she never thought it was this vicious thing! Compared to it, the slow-acting poison and other things she had previously suspected were like harmless snacks. What exactly was this green line, he didn't understand. But its terrifying power, Chen Mu had witnessed it with his own eyes.

  It's moving! What will it do next? Drill into its own blood vessels? Or pierce through its own heart?

  Although his mental endurance was much greater than before, he still felt a deep sense of fear and despair this time.

  Chen Mu had an urge to cut open his own skin and pull out the green line. However, he quickly dispelled this idea, deciding to calm down first and study it carefully later.

  The slowly crawling fine line seemed to inadvertently touch Chen Mu's pain nerve, and he only felt a deep-seated pain coming from under his skin, and he couldn't help but hum a low groan.

  The muffled hum also startled the lady who was watching TV beside him, she hurried over and asked with concern: "Is this student uncomfortable?" Chen Mu's age easily made people think he was a student.

  Pain! Chen Mu's mind was buzzing, and everything outside seemed to be moving away from him. He didn't hear his wife's words beside him, the intense pain made him lose all reaction ability at this moment.

  It's a severe pain all over his body! Not just his arm, this pale green thread as thin as hair is tens of meters long, enough to cover his entire body.

  Severe pain caused Chen Mu's body to curl up involuntarily.

  "Hey, what's wrong?" The lady beside Chen Mu was clearly startled by his painful expression.

  The boy beside her made no sound, but his curled-up body shook violently. She knew that this only happened when someone was in extreme pain.

  She suddenly became anxious. There was no doctor on the long-distance train, and there would only be a doctor when they arrived at Ami City. But it would take two more hours to arrive in Ami City. Looking at the young man's appearance, he might be in danger at any moment.

  The kind-hearted lady bent down and gently patted Chen Mu's back, which was already arched in a ball, hoping to make him feel better.

  Soon she noticed that her method seemed to be working, and the boy's trembling gradually subsided. This made her very happy, and her left hand continued to gently pat Chen Mu's back without stopping.

  At last, after half a minute, the boy gradually calmed down.

  Chen's blurred vision gradually focused, and the sensations in his body, the sound of the subway train, and the conversations around him also became clearer. His sweat-soaked clothes clung tightly to his skin, feeling very uncomfortable.

  If it weren't for the sweat reminding him, Chen Mu would have suspected that what just happened was a dream he had after falling asleep. The pain came like a raging tide and left as swiftly as the wind, disappearing without a trace.

  The gentle pat on the back conveyed kindness and concern, making Chen Mu feel warm. He slowly straightened up and sincerely thanked the lady beside him: "Thank you!"

  "Do you feel a bit better? What happened just now? You scared me." The lady asked with concern, she was indeed frightened by Chen Mu's painful look.

  Chen Mu only vaguely said: "Nothing, just some old problems." He himself had not yet figured it out, and this kind of thing couldn't be clearly stated anyway.

  "Ah!" The lady was taken aback, and then looked at Chen Mu with sympathy: "Is it a frequent occurrence? How painful that must be!" She paused for a moment, then said: "I know a few relatively famous doctors..."

  Chen Mu looked at his wife with gratitude, but still interrupted her: "It's okay, it's really just a minor illness." His situation was special, and if he went to see a doctor like this, who knows what kind of trouble would arise. The mysterious green line would make those doctors very curious, and for him now, too much attention was fatal.

  Moreover, Chen Mu also believed that with Mo Gui's methods, ordinary doctors would find it very difficult to successfully treat her.

  The lady saw Chen Mu insist, so she changed the subject.

  Chen Mu felt grateful towards this kind-hearted lady, he could feel her concern for him, a feeling he hadn't experienced in a long time.

  Ever since the pursuit by the Zuo family began, Chen Mu had become increasingly gloomy, and this was even more evident after meeting the devilish woman. With his nerves constantly on edge due to being in danger at all times, he kept a safe distance from those around him, which also made his personality colder than before.

  If the recent life was like being in a dark abyss, then this lady's concern was like a ray of sunlight shining into the abyss, making Chen Mu feel very warm. And to Chen Mu, the lady was undoubtedly the most beautiful woman in the world.

  Chen Mu suddenly saw something familiar on his wife's neck and couldn't help but ask, "Madam, may I take a look at what you're wearing?"

  "Is this what you're talking about?" The madam's hand was holding a card that hung on her chest, and when Chen Mu nodded, she took it off and handed it to Chen Mu, smiling as she said: "This is an heirloom left by my father, which I just had repaired recently, so I've been carrying it with me."

  Chen Mu suddenly realized that he had repaired this 3-star energy shield phantom card before, and the structure it contained was very beneficial to him.

  The owner of the card mentioned by the shopkeeper was Mrs. Ning, could it be that the woman in front of me is Mrs. Ning?

  "Excuse me, are you Mrs. Ning?"

  The lady was taken aback and looked at Chen Mu with a puzzled expression: "Do you know me?"

  Chen Mu smiled slightly, but the muscles on his face were somewhat stiff. This smile was even uglier than crying: "This card is my repair, the shopkeeper has conveyed your invitation to me. I didn't expect you to be Mrs. Ning, I'm really sorry."

  Mrs. Ning covered her red lips in surprise: "Ah! Is that the intermediate card maker? Oh my, he's already an intermediate card maker at such a young age! It's really astonishing!"

  For some reason, Chen Mu felt extremely at ease talking to this Mrs. Ning, unlike the nervousness he had when he was in school. He shook his head: "I'm not a mid-level card master, just a student of Dongwei Academy."

  "But isn't it that only intermediate card makers can repair the Three Star Card?" Mrs. Ning's expression was somewhat puzzled, but she quickly broke into a smile: "But in any case, thank you for repairing my father's keepsake, I really appreciate it."

  "You're too kind, it's what I should do." Chen Mu hastily replied. Unbeknownst to him, being away from Dongshang Weicheng made him feel extremely relaxed, and even these polite phrases flowed more smoothly than before.

  After learning that Chen Mu was the one who had repaired her father's card, Mrs. Ning was delighted. She said warmly: "I've always wanted to have a simple meal to thank you, but the shop owner said he's been busy all along. Now that we've met, you must come to my humble abode for a visit. You can't refuse today!"

  She looked at Chen Mu with expectant eyes after she finished speaking.

  Chen thought to himself, "I'm already in trouble, don't drag this kind-hearted lady into it." He could only force a smile and say, "I'm afraid today isn't convenient either, I have some urgent matters to attend to. If I have time next time, I'll definitely come visit."

  Chen Mu knew that his promise to visit again was just a lie. As soon as he got off the train, he would leave Amei City at the fastest speed. This place was too close to Dongshang Weicheng after all, and it wasn't safe here either.

  Mrs. Ning also detected the evasive tone in Chen Mu's words, and she even more keenly sensed the worry in his eyes, knowing that he indeed had something on his mind. She could only express her disappointment, saying: "That's truly unfortunate. But you must come next time."

  The two of them chatted for a while, and before they knew it, the long train had already pulled into the underground platform of Amec City.
