Chapter 1332: 1332

Chapter 1332 Shocked in the Middle of the Nigh

Why is the confidential document that I’m dispatching mentioning Utopia?

What’s so special about this place?

…

Many thoughts flashed through Wendel’s mind as he heard a buzzing sound .

At this moment, he felt as though he was going to fall sick from overexertion .

Wendel quickly forced himself to calm down . He carefully recalled all the experiences he had encountered after coming to Utopia, and he discovered that there were no problems with every detail . They were all things that he might encounter in daily life .

The only thing that made him uneasy was that his arrival was too coincidental .

It was common for the steam locomotive to stop at the last minute due to a storm, but to stop somewhere related to the confidential document in his hand couldn’t be explained away with coincidence .

Wendel stared at the confidential document on the table with a solemn expression . He hesitated as to whether he should open them and read them carefully .

Perhaps it’s just a passing mention of “Utopia . ” My actions will severely violate internal affairs . Perhaps this is the report of a certain intelligence agent secretly investigating Utopia . The contents will decide whether I survive to a certain extent, or die… After struggling for a while, Wendel looked out the window at the dark night sky and reached for the document .

Only by being alive could one consider the punishment!

Having made up his mind, Wendel swiftly removed the envelope outside and flipped through the typed files inside .

As he read, his hand trembled slightly . He felt a chill run down his back . Even the burning furnace didn’t help .

No matter which angle he read it from, the confidential report in his hands indicated that there was something wrong with Utopia—the entire town .

This might be a city that didn’t exist in the real world!

Wendel felt his mouth go dry, as though he had heard the footsteps of Death slowly approaching him with a sickle .

Instinctively, he wanted to get up, but in the end, he controlled himself and didn’t react rashly .

This was because he could feel pairs of eyes staring at him in the darkness outside, the room upstairs, and the corridor outside .

What should I do? Up till now, nothing abnormal happened… This means that if I didn’t know anything, it’s possible that I’d be safe and welcome daybreak… I’ve read through a lot of information, and if I rashly show that I already know about the strange environment around me, it would only cause danger to erupt ahead of time… However, I can’t just not do anything and leave my fate to luck… Wendel recalled all the dangers he had experienced before and quickly made up his mind .

He was prepared to immediately return to the steam locomotive, and stay far away from Utopia to a certain extent .

At least, most of the people there were normal, while the city was full of danger .

Of course, Wendel couldn’t just run back like that . He had to act normal, as though he had left the hotel in the middle of the night to return to the steam locomotive station .

Amidst his thoughts, Wendel put away his confidential report and stood up calmly . He put on his coat and put on his top hat .

Then, with his luggage in one hand and an umbrella in the other, he calmly walked to the door and turned the doorknob .

At this moment, the corridor was dark, with only a few gas lamps on both sides of the corridor giving off light that wasn’t bright enough . It added signs of human life to the silent environment in which he could hear a pin drop .

When Wendel entered the corridor, the wooden floor beneath his feet made a slight creaking sound . It was so clear in the silent night that it traveled far into the distance .

With a slight frown, Wendel intentionally took a normal step forward and approached the staircase in the middle of the corridor .

He walked without any worries and had no intention of acting furtively .

As he saw the stairs getting closer, he suddenly heard a squeaking sound behind him .

“Sir, where are you going?” A slightly hoarse and intermittent male voice sounded in Wendel’s ears .

Wendel’s body stiffened . He slowly turned back and saw the wooden door to the service room open . An attendant came out and stood in the shadows of the door .

He quickly smiled and said calmly, “I have an important item on the steam locomotive . I’m afraid that someone would take it away, so I have no choice but to return now . ”

At this point, he softly grumbled, “A murder happened at the hotel . I don’t want to stay here anymore . I can’t sleep at all . ”

“I’m very sorry . ” The attendant bowed slightly and responded .

“I won’t spread the news . ” Wendel nodded with a promise and then walked back up the stairs .

Perhaps it was due to the dim lighting in the night, he walked very carefully . Every step was like walking on the edge of a precipice .

One step, two steps, three steps… Wendel, who had been on guard towards the attendant behind him, finally returned to the first floor .

At that moment, not a single person was present in the hotel lobby . All the items were hidden in the darkness, and the faint light from the outside cast a blurry silhouette, just like monsters eager to devour people .

Wendel looked ahead and walked through the dark lobby before reaching the door .

Just as he pushed open the door and went out, he suddenly heard some rustling sounds behind him . It was as if there were rats moving around, or it was as if someone was approaching him with light footsteps .

The back of Wendel’s head went numb, but he held back his impulse to make a dash for it . He raised his head normally and looked up at the sky which had already stopped raining .

Then, he inhaled the cold, fresh air and made his way to the steam locomotive station .

He quickened his pace, looking like he was afraid of the night and eager to end this journey .

As he walked, Wendel saw a signboard from the corner of his eye .

“Utopia telegraph office . ”

The telegraph office… Perhaps I can try sneaking in and send an emergency telegram to the Backlund headquarters and Eskelson military base . That way, I can look forward to the rescue from demigods… If I’m really trapped here and unable to leave, this will be the only way to save myself… Wendel thought for a moment before taking a few steps diagonally, arriving at the entrance of the Utopia telegraph office .

He wasn’t in a hurry to find a place to sneak in . Instead, he focused his attention and listened to the movements inside .

Following that, he heard intermittent sounds of heavy breathing .

This made Wendel occasionally feel that there was no one inside, and at times, he felt that there was more than one person inside .

Suddenly, the sound of breathing stopped .

All of Wendel’s hair stood on end .

His intuition told him that a figure was standing quietly behind the door of the telegraph office!

Without any hesitation, Wendel immediately gave up the thought of sending a telegram . He walked past the door and continued proceeding forward .

For the rest of the journey, even a gust of wind left Wendel trembling in fear . He was afraid of encountering an unknown danger .

Time passed slowly as Wendel experienced the torment . Finally, he reached the entrance of the steam locomotive station and saw that the door was tightly shut . He couldn’t enter .

This wasn’t a problem for Wendel . He first passed the umbrella to his left hand that was carrying his luggage, then went to the side and found a wall . With a press of his palm, he rose into the air and easily flipped over .

After landing his feet firmly on the ground, Wendel heaved a sigh of relief and began walking towards the platform at an unhurried pace .

At that moment, an inaudible sound of footsteps could be heard behind him .

“What are you doing here?” A deep and hoarse voice rang out .

Wendel’s toes tightened as cold sweat broke out on his back .

He didn’t hesitate . As he prepared to get violent, he made his body turn slowly and stiffly .

The first thing that entered his eyes was a classic glass lantern, followed by the staff member from before .

Wendel exhaled and grumbled, “It’s not appropriate for you to appear in such an environment on such a night .

“As a gentleman, you have to avoid scaring others . ”

“I’m not a gentleman,” the staff member replied in an unfriendly manner .

Wendell pointed to the corner of the platform .

“I’m going to the bathroom . ”

He had already observed the platform’s environment and layout of the platform earlier in the day .

“Then, why are you here?” the worker asked .

“I’m lost,” Wendel answered simply .

Following that, he ignored the staff and walked towards the bathroom .

Behind him, the staff member watched silently without saying a word .

This gave Wendel a lot of mental stress, but he maintained his gait very well .

In the bathroom, under the illumination of the wall lamps, Wendel took nearly a minute to relieve the tension in his body and successfully peed .

After returning to the steam locomotive, Wendel finally found a sense of security as he looked at the passengers lying on their beds .

In the next few hours, he didn’t sleep at all and was on guard against any accidents .

Just as Wendel’s grasp of the passage of time slowed down, the sky gradually brightened and dispersed the darkness .

In the next two hours, the travelers who had gone to Utopia returned one after another . Some bought a bottle of local red wine . Some looked haggard . They looked like they had been beaten up or were hungover .

Wendel was very wary of them, but he couldn’t discover anything unusual in the details .

Choo!

Finally, the whistle sounded as the steam locomotive slowly began to move .

Amidst the chugging sounds, the train left Utopia Station .

After that, they went through another dark, gloomy weather . Fortunately, no thunderstorm descended, and the sun quickly pierced through the clouds and illuminated the ground .

For Wendel, all of this was normal . It had been like this since he arrived at Utopia last night . If not for the confidential report which was hidden near his chest, he definitely wouldn’t have believed that there was any problem with Utopia .

When the steam locomotive reached the next stop, one that everyone was familiar with, Wendel finally relaxed . He felt as if his brain ached with a throb, as though he had been drained of his energy .

At this moment, he quickly recalled his experience in Utopia .

As he recalled, Wendel suddenly sat up straight .

He had used the excuse of going to the bathroom last night, but he was carrying his luggage and an umbrella . He didn’t look like a passenger who had just come down from a steam train .

The station worker didn’t realize this, or rather, he had already discovered it, but he did not expose him for some unknown reason!
