Chapter 88 Hiking on a Train: A Secret Agent's Warm-up

On the roof of the train.

Billy is dealing with a tree spirit whose muscles are clearly visible.

The tree spirit had wrapped its roots around the carriage, so it wouldn't be thrown out, while Billis was struggling to find his balance amidst the turbulence, a position he had been holding for a long time.

The cogwheel train suddenly passed a billboard, and Billies hurriedly lay down. The tree spirit was unable to free itself from the entanglement and had half of its body cut off by the billboard, but it quickly grew back to its original state.

There were five hostages in the carriage, including the train conductor. The engine braking system and emergency brakes were damaged, and the wheels could only be slowed down by the sandbox brakes.

However, the hijackers had planted a bomb on the bridge ahead, and with only five seconds left before it was to detonate, it was too late.

A loud bang was heard, and the bridge in front collapsed.

The tree spirit thugs controlling the train displayed a suicidal courage, clinging tightly to the things inside the carriages.

"Who gave you permission to build it? This other world doesn't need satellites!"

"Thank you for telling me that the box contained a satellite. I thought it was flammable material."

"What good would it do to tell you? We're going to fall off the cliff together anyway!"

"I don't want to have a date with rotten tree bark in the underworld."

Billies whistled, and the blown-up bridge revealed one of nature's most outstanding creations—an ice ridge.

"Bilis! Bilis! Bilis! Hold on tight!"

The train slid over the spine, hurtling all the way into the jungle.

Despite escaping death, the tree spirit was not willing to give up. Its roots grew thicker and thicker, gripping the carriage tightly. With a little force, it could crush the contents of the carriage into dust.

His eyebrows were stained white by the snow, his broad forehead was deeply furrowed, and his cracked lips parted in a smile.

Tree spirits are not afraid of the cold, but they are afraid of the heat, especially fire.

Its roots seemed to have come into contact with an open flame, and started burning from the location of the carriage.

But this flame was a bit strange; it only burned the tree roots and not anything else.

The tree spirit reached out and grabbed at everything, but couldn't grasp anything substantial. When it realized it was screaming, its arms were already bright red.

This is not fire, but something far more terrifying than fire!

Countless hellish claws crawled all over the car.

The demonic claws outnumbered the roots, grabbing the tree spirit and trying to drag him through a door.

Hell is just around the corner. If the tree spirit doesn't misjudge, he will soon be melted.

Before dying, strange images appeared in the tree spirit's mind.

A vast forest, with many wooden houses built on the trees. Some houses are shaped like big hats. In front of each house stands a totem. At the top of the totem is a bear, below that is a wolf, and then an eagle. Twenty-three animals are carved on one totem. The other animals are very small, even inconspicuous.

The tree spirits grew up here. After they grew up, the reincarnated ones cut down the forest, removed the totems, and drove the original inhabitants out of their homes.

The curses continued unabated, and when he turned around, he saw a pit full of the remains of his compatriots.

"Get out of this other world!" The tree spirit's mind boomed, its eyes lit up, and its bodily functions were restored to their peak.

He could have escaped the clutches of hell, but the information in his head seemed to be blocked by sulfur, eventually shrinking into a blurry mess and being swallowed by hellfire.

Billis was puzzled by the tree spirit's final actions.

"Was he hallucinating, or did he inject himself with stimulants?"

"What is doping?" Aisha asked.

"It refers to prohibited products that can excite the brain."

"Oh, I see! Last night, you and Lisa were making such a racket, were you given stimulants?"

"Hey! Kids aren't allowed to stay up late!"

"What are you all arguing about up there?" Lisa flew out of the carriage and said, "There's a satellite in the carriage. Why didn't Richie explain the mission clearly in the first place?"

Billis shook his head and replied, "That guy's style is always unpredictable. Even if he appeared as a new type of elemental being now, I wouldn't be surprised."

As soon as he finished speaking, a gust of wind blew from the west side of the silver hill, and something floated by. It was very bright, and because it was so bright, the surroundings seemed pitch black.

The rings of yellowish light made it difficult to see what was inside.

This blindingly bright light seemed to have grown legs, climbing onto the front of the car. Indeed, it did have legs, and you could easily hear the clattering sound coming from beneath its feet.

As the light drew closer, Billis didn't hesitate to pick up the remnants of the tree spirit and throw them toward the light source.

The residue passes through the light source and also becomes a light source.

This is a mass of light element.

“Rich?” Billis asked.

"As expected of Agent Billy, oh, what did you just throw over here?"

“You’re too dazzling, Mr. Richie. Please don’t use the Light Element under the sun; I can’t see you at all.”

"Your efficiency in carrying out missions is getting higher and higher, and I'm really happy for you. However, missions won't stop and wait for us."

"Another new mission?"

This element of light seems to be very afraid of black substances, such as leaking oil from a train or charred residue.

Richie carefully avoided it, but accidentally fell off the other side of the car. Fortunately, the element of light is the lightest and most convenient element in nature.

"You all saw what was in the car, right?"

"Why weren't you informed about a satellite earlier?"

"Actually, I didn't know what was being transported in the carriages before, but I can tell you in advance that if you don't want to freeze to death in the missions to come, you'd better buy some warm clothes."

"Will the next task involve dealing with the snow-capped mountains in the north?"

"You're right! And it's also related to this satellite."

“My old clothes are fine for dealing with wild animals, but they’re not cold-resistant. The northern chill will still freeze your heart.”

"That's right. This satellite is the first artificial satellite in this other world. The provisional government will send someone to transport it to the launch pad on the snow mountain. Your mission is to ensure the satellite is launched successfully."

"That's strange. Why would they transport such an important satellite on a train without informing us beforehand?"

"Perhaps, maybe, it's because expanding news propaganda would only attract the enemy's attention."

"What kind of enemy wants to get this satellite?"

“Those who are not reincarnated are the enemies you just dealt with. They don’t want to gain, they want to destroy.”

"Didn't the non-reincarnated ones already migrate to the Southern Continent?"

"A few people have remained, which is something we can't do anything about. Moreover, those who remain are strongly opposed to the existing alien civilization, especially the technological civilization."

"But wouldn't launching a satellite also help them?"

Do you know what this satellite is called?

"What?"

"Castle in the Sky".

"What does this have to do with opposing technological civilization?"

There is a saying in the other world: "When the Sky City appears, our abilities and weaknesses will be exposed to its control."

"Including our weaknesses?"

"The real meaning of this saying is that non-reincarnated people are afraid of being monitored by satellites, of course, this is just my guess."

"They're right, satellites can indeed pinpoint land targets precisely, no wonder they're opposed."

"Civilization is always moving forward."

"But this is based on the denial and overthrow of previous civilizations."

The Element of Light immediately gave a knowing gesture: "Tonight, the provisional government will send someone to take the satellite away. Agent Mia is already waiting for instructions at the Moli'ai launch pad. Before the satellite is launched, you must carefully observe the surroundings to prevent any sabotage."
