Professor Layton Wiki
"Rumours in Dropstone suggest that the Molentary Express has another, secret destination. The trio know that in order to get there, something mudt be don on the train. What, however remains a mystery. With nothing to go on, the three start searching for any clues as to how to proceed."

A Diverging Path is the third chapter in Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box.

Plot[]

After leaving Dropstone, Professor Layton, Luke and Flora decide to investigate the Molentary Express, having heard that hidden somewhere on the train is the method of finding the phantom town. The investigation is mostly fruitless, as the crew don’t have any useful information for the Professor and company. They speak with a student named Conrad, who tells them that the deluxe carriage is closed off for the rest of the journey. Layton decides to investigate the deluxe carriage.

After solving a puzzle, the trio enter the deluxe carriage and duck into a cabin. Layton believes he was mistaken, as nothing is amiss inside the cabin, but before they can leave, Sammy Thunder enters the room to place some flowers. It seems that these were no ordinary flowers, however, as Layton, Luke and Flora suddenly fell asleep.

Luke had an odd dream where, inside the tunnel, two trains swapped one of their carriages. After waking up, Layton wonders if Luke really was dreaming, or if the deluxe car really did swap with another. His suspicions are proven correct when Sammy announces that the next stop is Folsense, as it was meant to be Luxenbelle. After looking at the train ticket, Layton realised that it indeed was for Folsense. The train stops at Folsense Station, and the trio leave to investigate the phantom town.

The Dilapidated Station[]

Minutes after Professor Layton, Luke and Flora's arrival in Folsense, the run-down train station transforms into a gleaming, ornately decorated building right before their eyes. What caused the sudden change to the station's appearance?

Solved[]

A Ticket with No Destination[]

The ticket was for Folsense, a destination accessible only to those riding in a particular carriage on the Molentary Express. It would seem that Dr Schrader must have visited Folsense sometime before his murder.
