Chapter 142: Zhu Xingtu’s Request
Ding-ding——!
A hurried chat notification appeared on the system’s Light Screen.
Ye Qiyan tilted his head to look and saw a name constantly flashing on his friends list.
It was Zhu Xingtu.
Should he pretend not to see it?
Forget it, for the sake of Harbinger.
Tapping the avatar, a long string of obviously extremely anxious words came into view.
Zhu Xingtu: [ “Brother Ye, help me out! Go to No. 44 Nakolo Street, my Train is right there. There is a device on the second carriage, open it. Once you do this, I will give you the reward you deserve. The church key is placed under the fifth flowerpot in front of the door!” ]
There was none of the usual flippancy and Charlatan aura in the words.
All that remained was impatience and unease.
It seemed the impact of Bad Luck was even greater than he had imagined.
However, why him?
[ “I remember that place is a church. Senior Ryan should be there, right? He is very close, wouldn’t it be better to ask him for help?” ]
Zhu Xingtu, who was evading pursuit, pursed her lips and typed on the Light Screen with the fastest hand speed.
[ “He’s not there!” ]
Should he help? There wasn’t any special reason not to help her. If it were just because the other party always had fate on her lips that made him feel disgusted with Zhu Xingtu, he didn’t want her dead like Monroe Gina did.
On the contrary, he had also gained quite a few benefits from Zhu Xingtu’s hands.
Harbinger and Red Tears.
These two Devil Cards were both related to her.
As expected, there is no such thing as a free lunch in this world. The repayment for the newcomer benefits would probably be today.
Harbinger rotated above his palm, and Ye Qiyan stopped thinking and prepared to head to No. 44 Nakolo Street, to that church.
“Brother Qiyan!”
Seeing him preparing to leave, Zhao Lin immediately chased after him.
“I’m going to do something. Anyway, you are in a state of good luck right now and won’t encounter danger. You should just head back to your Train once and see if there are any changes to your personal information.”
“No, I want to follow you.”
“?”
“Brother Qiyan is going to do something dangerous, right? That pretty older sister just now—you can’t fool me, she definitely knows you. After she gave me that card, I could feel as though I had lost some kind of burden. Although I don’t quite understand, it must have been Brother Qiyan who asked that older sister to help me.”
“…”
Ye Qiyan’s gaze was slightly complicated.
Should he explain?
Help? As if!
What that female Charlatan wanted was not to help her take away that Bad Luck, but rather her good luck.
Think about it, if Zhao Lin was in a state of Bad Luck when entering this station, then what Zhu Xingtu traded for using that Fate Card – Unequal Gift would not be Bad Luck, but rather good luck.
Then, in the following time, Zhao Lin would fall into hell, and every Platform would be extremely unlucky.
In that case, her life wouldn’t last long.
“You’re overthinking it. That person is no good. But whatever, just follow along then; we’re not short of this little bit of time.”
He just wanted to let Zhao Lin return to the Train once to see what kind of changes happened in the Talent column. Since she was willing to follow,
fine then. Having a lucky person by his side would ultimately give one a bit more peace of mind.
Because of that man pursuing Zhu Xingtu, the taxis in this area completely stopped running.
Wanting to reach that church was not easy.
However, whether it was due to Zhao Lin’s good luck or not,
a fleeing taxi saw the two standing by the roadside and inexplicably stopped in front of them.
The car door opened, and the driver in the driver’s seat hurriedly waved.
“Get in the car quickly, triple the fare! Anywhere is fine!”
“Eh? Why is it you guys?”
This driver looked a bit familiar.
Ronin appearance, unkempt, biting on a ragged cigarette butt, stubbly, with little spirit in his eyes.
He remembered.
“Muxi Yuren, Senior?”
This person was precisely the “loser” who sold him the Desert Eagle pistol and gave up his identity as a Train Captain to stay in this city when he first came to the City of a Thousand Stars.
“Get in the car first. Damn it, I really don’t know what kind of madness that guy in the sky is up to. To kill someone, he’s destroyed three streets already, damn it! Do high-level Train Captains not treat us as humans anymore?!”
Getting into the car, Ye Qiyan did not respond to Muxi Yuren’s words.
Because it wasn’t just high-level Train Captains who didn’t treat non-Train Captains as humans; it seemed that many Train Captains of not-so-high levels were the same.
Especially towards losers who gave up like Muxi Yuren, they looked down on them even more.
“Ahem, where are you guys going? It’s triple the fare, huh. Damn it, I really don’t know what I was thinking, still picking up passengers at a time like this. Damn! It’s killing me.”
It must have been because of Zhao Lin’s good luck.
It seemed that after her Bad Luck was stolen away, her good luck had reached a somewhat eerie degree.
Then how long could this state last?
If that Charlatan Zhu Xingtu could survive, she would definitely not let the Bad Luck remain on her own body.
“Go to No. 44 Nakolo Street. There shouldn’t be much danger there. Triple is triple, I can still afford it.”
“Alrighty then, heh.”
The taxi sped forward.
The golden man’s attacks had already caused some districts of the City of a Thousand Stars to begin collapsing.
Unlike the situation in Solomon City, here, no one like Zhao Xi appeared to stop it.
Muxi Yuren answered his doubts.
“Hmph, those big shots up top have never treated the districts down here as humans. Do you know there is a place called the Lower District in this City of a Thousand Stars? It’s entirely filled with Train Captains who have no jobs and no money, thrown inside to fend for themselves.”
“And although the area we live in is not like that Lower District, because it gathers too many trash like me, to those high-and-mighty Inspectors and noble personages, this place is just a garbage dump where Train Coins can be made. As long as it’s not completely destroyed, if that bastard in the sky is willing to make a move, they can collect another batch of money for the reconstruction later.”
The City of a Thousand Stars, counting the hidden Lower District, had a total of five layers.
No. 44 Nakolo Street existed on the third layer. There was no riot caused here by the fact that the second-layer district below was being wantonly destroyed.
Ye Qiyan gave Muxi Yuren triple the fare, got out of the car, found the key under the flowerpot, and opened the church doors. A soft radiance fully illuminated every corner of the church.
Looking at the empty space inside, he looked around. He hadn’t paid much attention last time.
This time he found that as long as one entered this church, the atmosphere permeating the City of a Thousand Stars that made people relaxed and Slothful would instantly vanish.
“Brother Qiyan, what are we here to do?”
“Helping someone deal with a Train. Right, you put your Train in the Capsule Tunnel, right? Send it over in a bit.”
