The last gear train slowly moved along the tracks, with the carriage so quiet that only the sound of gears turning could be heard.
Inside the carriage were just two people, sitting in the corners at opposite ends, seemingly unrelated, yet they wore identical uniforms—one new and one old.
Neither spoke, but in one's mind, a voice arose.
"Do you think this squad leader is here to kill you?"
Naturally, it was Bai Wei speaking, and indeed, the ones seated at the front and back of the train were Kude and Gerard.
"Why would he want to kill me?"
To Gerard's query, Bai Wei chuckled lightly, "Are you playing dumb or can you not bring yourself to believe it?"
Gerard slowly closed his eyes and after a long moment, replied, "I don't know."
He still remembered what he had been told at the Skeleton Corps' headquarters.
Now, it seemed people were starting to deal with him using means beyond the Rule.
