CODE NAME: ANASTASIA [Novel]

Chapter 18

The night was quiet, the view outside the window buried in thick darkness. The train was departing from Beijing towards Moscow, the turbulent air immediately after boarding also disappeared.

The long journey from Beijing to Moscow will take about 6 days. Although the destination is the same, the atmosphere between each carriage is completely different. The passengers in the third class are quietly fighting a battle for the best position on the carriage. Let's not say the bed, the partition between the chairs is also flimsy creaking when someone tries to get some sleep in the cramped chairs. If the first and second class rooms are filled with the eager anticipation of an adventure to new lands, the third class room is filled with the taste of hectic life. The murky air stagnates in the unventilated carriage. A strange stench of unknown origin wafted out everywhere. Somewhere, there were children squealing because of the cramped space. Parents are tired of making room for a crying baby, other passengers can only wince and grumble incessantly, a group of soldiers share cheap glasses of volka and chat and giggle. Busy merchants push their packages into other people's seats and put on earplugs to block out the noise. They seem to have learned how to endure this long journey because of their years of experience.

Passengers in second class are seated in groups of three regardless of nationality, gender and age. They talked all night and shared travel experiences, useful information, future schedules and even small snacks. Even though they were on the same train, they didn't look very tired compared to the people in the third class.

The only rooms on board with en suite bathrooms have been quiet ever since. Whether it was day or night, there weren't many people in and out, even in the hallways. In the evening, they have a good night's sleep on a comfortable bed, when hungry, they will visit the restaurant on the train, the ridiculously high prices do not seem to be a problem for them.

Perhaps the only satisfying thing among the headquarters' support is the extremely generous provision of travel and accommodation expenses. Kwon Taek Joo was lying on the bed in the first class room while looking around. But seconds later, discontent exploded.

"ahhhhhhh....... UM.... um..."

Kwon Taek Joo's eyebrows were so wrinkled that they couldn't wrinkle any more. He closed his eyes and tried to sleep but to no avail, a moaning louder and louder reached his ears.

"a~~~..........that place, that's right.......aaa,.....u........!"

Kwon Taek Joo buried his face in the pillow again and angrily pulled the blanket over his head. Even so, it was not possible to prevent those vulgar sounds from entering the ears. The sound of flesh clashing became more and more intense, the woman's groans became more and more shrill. The stabbing sound was so loud that his eardrums felt like they were about to explode.

Let it go. Leave it alone.

Kwon Taek Joo tried to calm down and then recited the spell. A madman does crazy things that are not surprising at all. If you want to blame it, it's not Zheyna's fault, but blame the headquarters for appointing such a guy as his partner.

Kwon Taek Joo never knew what insomnia was. After finishing a battle plan, he would sleep for days like a corpse. While on a mission, even if he could only sleep for an hour or two, he would sleep very well. Although it is not the right time to eat and sleep, there has never been a case where he couldn't sleep. Although this method is very ancient, Kwon Taek Joo decided to count sheep.

One sheep, two sheep, three sheep, four sheep...

"........ha, ahhhhhhhh........."

Damned!

Kwon Tack Joo stood up and sat down again. Outside in the living room, the lights were still dark, but the dim light from the hallway shone in, illuminating a figure. Even in the dark, Kwon Taek Joo could still see Zheyna's glassy eyes shining. Their eyes met for a moment, but his face showed no trace of shame.
