Chapter 130
Chapter 130: Who, Are, You?
Caw!
The moment the Raven Demon entered the deep pit,
all the decomposed corpses noticed its presence and dragged their scorched bodies forward, charging fiercely toward the Raven Demon.
They let out extremely painful howls, like hellish demons that had been tortured for countless years.
The Raven Demon did not hold back, a storm of black feathers serving as a Harbinger for these decomposed corpses.
Ye Qiyan stood atop the deep pit, observing through Pride that armored humanoid creature which might possibly be a human.
Even though the Raven Demon slaughtered a large batch of decomposed corpses, that guy still didn’t leave its seat, and moreover, it seemed to be pondering something.
Clang——!
A crisp sound rang out.
Even Ye Qiyan, standing above the deep pit, could hear it clearly.
Shocked by this sound, those decomposed corpses stopped their actions of charging at the Raven Demon, and instead followed closely step by step back to the side of the armored man.
The armored man walked down the high Platform.
He pointed a black sword at the Raven Demon.
Is this a declaration of war?
No, this is not.
That armored man bowed to the Raven Demon, and then pointed to his own helmet, seemingly saying something?
From this position, Ye Qiyan could not hear it.
The Raven Demon couldn’t speak either.
After finishing speaking, the armored man waved his hand at the Raven Demon, and seeing it make no move, he felt extremely strange.
“Hmm?”
Could this really be a person?
Ye Qiyan snapped his fingers, and the Raven Demon let out a cry and flew up.
Grabbing its claws, Ye Qiyan personally entered the deep pit.
Passing through the mist, the temperature below seemed to have dropped a bit, but not by much, roughly changing from 50°C to something in the 40s.
But compared to the outside world, this was relatively cool.
Ye Qiyan landed in front of the armored man, watching the other party standing in place looking somewhat strange, and spoke:
“Say what you just said one more time.”
“Caw——!”
The Raven Demon let out a roar, shocking the surrounding decomposed corpses that instinctively wanted to swarm up.
The armored man only then snapped out of his trance, striking the ground with his sword to produce that sound from earlier.
“Get back!”
From beneath the armor came a human male’s deep and hoarse voice.
He really was a human.
Then why was he here?
Then, was the mission of this Platform because of this person?
The man panted heavily, seeming somewhat tired, and he knocked on his own chest, letting out a helpless bitter smile.
“So it’s a summoned entity. No wonder I spent half a day talking earlier without getting a response, and I was also wondering why a Train Captain would look like this; even with racial transformation, there shouldn’t be such a race.”
Train Captain—the armored man used this name to address him rather than any other identity.
So this fellow knew about the Train Survival World?
“Who are you?”
This was the most classic question.
The armored man pointed at himself.
“Me? If I say I am a Train Captain who came to this world for survival twenty-seven years ago, would you believe it?”
Twenty-seven years ago?
That meant at least the nine batches of Train Captains before him.
This person arrived in this world even earlier than Shaya?
Ye Qiyan cautiously pulled out Ebony and skyhawk, and all other weapons were fully prepared for use in the Armament Space, with even the Hunting Mechadragon standing by at any time.
“I don’t believe it. If you really are a Train Captain from twenty-seven years ago, you seem a bit weak, and besides, why are you here?”
“Shouldn’t be here? Haha, then where do you think I should be?”
The man continued to smile bitterly.
“Every three years for the Train survival, every single time, a full 180 million humans enter this world. After the basic ten Platforms, roughly eighty or even ninety percent are eliminated. The remaining ones continue forward, passing through even more dangerous Platforms, and before long, not many people are left. So do you think if everyone among these people could become very strong, what would be left for the people behind?”
What he said wasn’t wrong either.
That Qin Qiang he met last time had already stayed in the Train Survival World for six years, and only managed to upgrade his Train to Level 7.
For ordinary people, this speed seemed to be the normal situation.
Train Captains from earlier batches did not necessarily mean they were very strong.
“So? Who are you?”
“It seems you don’t trust me.”
“In this yang yan wind weather, you wear such heavy armor and refuse to take it off. Why do you think I should believe you are a human and not a monster that has acquired a Train Captain’s memories?”
The armored man was stunned, obviously harboring a momentary doubt about Ye Qiyan’s words.
“Am I a monster that acquired a Train Captain’s memories? Hmm… Am I… a monster?”
Bewitchment~
Even though Ye Qiyan didn’t take out that Devil Card, its power, along with the time it stayed by Ye Qiyan’s side, had gradually become a part of him; even without taking it out, he could mobilize it slightly.
“No no no, I am a human, I am a human! I am a human!! Kid, you’re really something, you almost fooled me. What kind of ability is this? Are Train Captains nowadays all this awesome?”
This armored man’s Mental Power was still considered normal; he wasn’t influenced when Ye Qiyan hadn’t directly produced Bewitchment.
Was he really a human?
“I am a human, this is beyond doubt. A Train Captain who came to this world twenty-seven years ago should be your senior, right? Logically speaking, the rated level of this Platform shouldn’t be higher than Level 8. I really don’t get why you’re the only one who has come in all these years. Sigh, what is your current Train level?”
“…”
“Ah, it seems you aren’t willing to say, which is also normal. Haha, I wasn’t willing to tell others my Train level in the past either, I…”
“Get to the point. Who, are, you?”
This was already the third time Ye Qiyan asked this question.
This guy talked so much.
Just like Shaya back in Mystery Bell Town.
Hadn’t spoken in too long, so seeing someone made him especially eager to talk?
But he was no longer who he used to be; when facing these seniors, he would no longer be completely unable to resist.
“Uh, my bad, I haven’t spoken to anyone in many years. Whew… My name is Altos, a prisoner trapped here. Train level: Level 27, though I haven’t returned inside the Train for a very long time, haha.”
Level 27?
The level was very high, but Ye Qiyan didn’t feel that he wasn’t this guy’s match.
The Train level only upgraded the Train and not the person.
Among different Train Captains, the upgrade of each Train level didn’t necessarily increase one’s combat power.
Like Monroe Gina and Shaya, both were equally high-level Train Captains, yet it wasn’t hard to see that Shaya’s combat power far exceeded the other’s.
Furthermore, currently, according to Shaya, item levels only reached a maximum of Level 12. After his Hunting Mechadragon activated Transcendent Mode, it could even reach Level 13, which was already the limit of weapons and items.
High-level Train Captains also wouldn’t exceed this limit.
Beyond Level 12, the gap between Train Captains only existed in individual choices and harvests, rather than pure level numerical values.
If they really fought,
he didn’t think he would lose.
