The Magic Capital
"Attention. Passengers boarding the T-69420 high-speed rail, please prepare to check in and board the maglev."
"Oh, that's us," Yu An Yan said, putting her phone away after hearing the loud announcement via the PA system of the high-speed rail station we were currently in.
"What time is it?" I asked.
Feng Mian stood up and checked her phone. "11:30. Half an hour before the ETA of the maglev."
I nodded. "I see. Makes sense, then. Looks like the maglev's going to be here on time. Let's get going, check-in is that way."
I pointed to our left. According to what the signs hanging from the ceiling were showing, my sense of direction was correct. The ten of us began heading for check-in. Many people were already there, so we just picked the shortest line and waited patiently. Once it was finally our turn, I stepped up first.
