Note: Yesterday's second update was a special episode.

"Um, Jonouchi, do you feel that the number of passengers in this carriage has been decreasing since a while ago?"
Although the question of what Gozen Ryuji thought of Umino Sachiko was finally evaded by Gozen Ryuji, something very strange happened as they sat on the train - the attentive Mazaki Kyoko discovered that the passengers in this carriage began to leave the carriage for various reasons, and gradually the number of passengers still sitting in this carriage had decreased by nearly a quarter.
"Really... Could it be because they got off the train?" Jonouchi said with an inference that he did not believe.
"Idiot!" Sakura knocked on Jonouchi's head, "I haven't heard of this train before, how could they get off halfway? That who... Gozen Ryuji, right? What do you think about this?"
"There must be something strange about this..." Gozen Ryuji blurted out, but soon realized that something was wrong, "Wait! Isn't this strange? This is simply unscientific, isn't it?"
And Mazaki Kyoko has been paying attention to the passengers who are still on this train. Unlike the somewhat careless and slow-reacting Mazaki Kyoko in the original world line, the Kyoko in this world line has made a lot of progress and changes after being trained by Xiaohui (Li Zheng). At this time, she has begun to notice that something is wrong with these passengers - this feeling is familiar, as if...
"Jonochi, Mai-chan, Gozen, do you remember that virtual world?" Unlike the other companions who lowered their voices before, Mazaki Kyoko spoke directly in a normal voice: "It's the virtual world we once entered in the underwater base."
"Idiot, why are you so loud?!" Jonouchi He hurriedly tried to cover Anzi's mouth, but because of Anzi's identity as a girl, he didn't dare to do it directly, so he had to stop his hand in mid-air and whispered: "Of course I remember that place, but why are you mentioning it now? The passengers around are..."
"No, they can't hear it." Reminded by Anzi, Sakura Mai and Gozen Ryuji seemed to have noticed this, "Thank you for your reminder, Anzi, Koumaru should have felt it earlier... The passengers in this car give me the feeling that they are like NPCs in the game."
"All the passengers in this car, I suspect, are all given special skills by "Doma." Gozen Ryuji pulled back Jonouchi's half-extended hand and explained to him, "It seems that we fell into the trap of "Doma" from the beginning."
Gozen Ryuji stood up, and Mazaki Anzi and Sakura Mai were also nervous: all this is Doma's "special skill" after all, it is their assumption. If something is wrong, the passengers are probably already calling the emergency number of the mental hospital-of course, if this development can happen, it is a good thing now.
Unfortunately, when Ryuji Gozen looked around, he found that the passengers around him seemed to have not heard what they said at all. They were still doing their own things, and at this time, passengers were still leaving this carriage.
"Let's go to other carriages." Ryuji Gozen said to his companions, and everyone nodded.
The four people walked out of this carriage, but found that there was no one in other carriages - as if their carriage was the most crowded.
"Here... let's go find the conductor? See if there is any situation with the conductor?" The people who felt more and more weird suggested to go to the conductor's room to find out, but before they left, they heard the sound of applause.
"Pa, pa, pa..." A man clapped and walked into the carriage, "Wonderful, wonderful, it's the first time someone can detect my illusion so quickly, what should I say about you? Should I say you are geniuses? Or should I say you are stupid?"
This man is of medium height, and his appearance only gives people one feeling, that is, "ordinary". Ordinary to the point that once thrown into the sea of people, you will definitely not be able to find it.
This is a face that is naturally suitable for being a killer and assassin, but today "Mortal" did not receive the task of kidnapping and silencing, but the superiors asked him to help lead two new rookies.
So "Mortal" arranged such an illusion performance - his elf is "imitation illusionist", it is still very easy to do this, but this time he does not need to do it himself.
"You are from Doma, right?!" Jonouchi was angry as soon as he saw "Mortal": "Are you playing us like monkeys? Or do you have any conspiracy? But no matter what conspiracy you have, I, Jonouchi, will not let you go!"
After saying that, before the other friends had any action, Jonouchi rushed up, he stretched out his fist, trying to hit "Mortal", but he missed - this person did not dodge, but Jonouchi did not hit him.
"Jounouchi!" Seeing that Jonouchi was about to fall to the ground due to inertia, Anzi on the side hurriedly shouted, but did not wait for Anzi. Whenever Komari and Ryuji made any move, the "mortal" reached out and pulled Jonouchi up.
"You..." Jonouchi looked angrily at the "mortal" who pulled him up, "You are..."
"Be at ease, my task today is to let you duel with two lovely juniors. If your duel disk is broken, I will be very troubled - after all, I didn't bring a spare duel disk." After pulling Jonouchi up, "Mortal" didn't intend to talk to everyone. He threw him to Anzi.
Gozen Ryuji hurried forward to catch Jonouchi steadily and asked: "Then, if we complete the duel, you can let us go, right?"
"Mortal" turned around and ignored Gozen's question - it had nothing to do with him. Now just hand it over to the two rookies. If they don't even know what to do in this situation, they are not worth training.
Now what "Mortal" has to do is to stop this train. Before, because he didn't intend to really let this train drive to the airport, he had already let this train drive onto an abandoned railway. There was a bridge on this railway that had been in disrepair for a long time. If it continued to drive, the train would fall off the cliff, and then the newcomers of Doma and Jonouchi and others would be finished.
And if the mission fails, even if she is an elite, it will not be easy.
Shortly after the mortal left, the newcomers did not disappoint him and appeared in time - as the train slowed down, the door of this carriage opened, and the two dwarfs walked in from behind the door?
"Yuga? Ryuzaki? It's you..." Jonouchi was shocked, and the other three also looked unconvinced, "Could it be that you are what he said before, 'Doma's newcomers'?"
