Chapter 203: An Yuankui of the Celestial Organization
Ding-dong~
The second floor has arrived.
As the elevator doors opened, Ye Qiyan looked with a smile at the receptionist slumped on the ground and trembling all over, as well as the long-tongued woman who had melted into a puddle of blood on the floor.
“Are they not entirely evil spirits, just housing a portion of an evil spirit inside their bodies? Were they modified?”
“D-Don’t kill me, don’t kill me! I don’t know, I don’t know anything!”
The receptionist wasn’t dead, and Ye Qiyan had no intention of killing him.
“Let’s go, we still have to view the rooms.”
Following the order, Eve hoisted the guy’s body and headed straight for the specific coordinate location on the Sandbox.
That location was a room.
Since that was the case, he wanted to see what was inside that room.
“0255”
In front of the door.
Ye Qiyan looked at the receptionist.
“Who is staying inside here?”
The receptionist hurriedly shook his head.
“I-I don’t know! I really don’t know!”
He wasn’t lying.
After all, Ye Qiyan’s Bewitchment was still lingering nearby.
“In other words, the person inside is not the Train Captain who arrived here before me?”
“Where are those two people’s rooms?”
“0305 and 0412!”
Noting down these two locations, Ye Qiyan’s gaze still fell upon 0255 right in front of him.
“Open the door.”
“The key is on the first floor, I’ll go right now—”
“Eve.”
The Lightning Spear fell into her hand.
Even without throwing it, it was still a fine weapon.
A single strike smashed against the door.
The large door was blown open instantly, revealing the scene inside.
This room was completely not a place for living; instead, a massive collection of surveillance monitor screens were combined together.
From these screens, one could even see the rooms of the two Train Captains who had checked in before him.
However, in front of the monitors…
There wasn’t anyone, huh?
Hum——
A red halo of light spread outward from Eve’s body.
In just an instant, in the corner of the room, the muzzle of the Great Compassion Heavy Machine Gun locked onto that position.
A red marker appeared on the ground.
Toying with the pure purification stone and gently stroking Eve’s smooth head, Ye Qiyan looked over, but the locked-on target still hadn’t materialized.
“Not coming out?”
There was no response.
“Then…”
The pure purification stone gradually began to emit a glow.
“Stop!”
Sizzle——
A sound resembling roasting meat came from over there.
Immediately afterwards, a somewhat illusory male figure appeared there.
This was a ghost.
The man smiled bitterly as he looked at the pure purification stone in Ye Qiyan’s hand and the purifying power emitted by the Great Compassion Heavy Machine Gun summoned by Eve.
“Friend, you can’t just break the rules like that. Logically speaking, you should have gone down first to find a room to stay in.”
Rules?
Indeed, if it were anyone else, they would obediently go find a room, pay the Train Coins to stay, and search for the truth bit by bit.
But…
Unfortunately,
The Sandbox in the carriage allowed him to effortlessly find the most powerful entity in this Platform.
Although being powerful often didn’t mean they were the mastermind behind the scenes.
But clearly, this time, he should have found the right person.
“Who are you, and why do you know about the Train Captains?”
The receptionist knew about Train Captains, so this soul observing everything inside the Fengxiang Hotel couldn’t possibly not know.
Ye Qiyan’s gaze swept past that receptionist.
Its body was twitching while foaming at the mouth.
From that unnatural state, it wasn’t hard to tell that inside this guy’s body, there wasn’t just the modification from that portion of the evil spirit.
Is this a puppet?
Why did it feel more advanced than Shaya’s ordinary puppets that couldn’t speak or move?
The man felt somewhat helpless. After a brief hesitation, he finally sighed and said:
“I used to be a Train Captain.”
“Say something useful.”
This wasn’t hard to guess at all.
“Uh, this Fengxiang Hotel is actually a trial ground I built. Every once in a while, Train Captains would come here, and only one person could pass the trial to obtain the treasure I placed.”
“Your purpose?”
“Collecting Train Coins…”
The man gave an awkward laugh.
Clearly, his collection method was to make others spend money to buy rooms.
“Um, friend, can you put that stone down? It’s a bit blinding…”
Ignoring him, Ye Qiyan continued to ask:
“Where is your body?”
The man scratched his head again.
“I’ve been dead for many years, my body turned to bones long ago. Uh, well…”
Seeming to realize that Ye Qiyan didn’t plan to kill him immediately, the man hesitated for a moment and actually turned the tables to ask a question.
“Friend, do you know about the Celestial Organization?”
Celestial Organization?
Never heard of it.
An organization… could it be a terrifying power like the Emperor Sequence?
“What is that?”
“It’s, it’s the Celestial Organization established in the Sky Garden. It should be quite famous, right? Anyway, back when I was still alive, it should have been very famous.”
“Never heard of it.”
“Aren’t you a Train Captain? Even if you’ve become a soul, as long as you still exist, you should be able to use the system, right? Why are you asking me if you want to find an organization?”
The man’s face was full of puzzlement.
“That shouldn’t be the case. The organization is very famous! I’ve only been staying here for over twenty years, and with someone as showy as our boss, even rookie Train Captains from these past few years should have heard of them.”
He hesitated once more.
“Um, can you do me a favor? After you return to the Train, could you help me ask your friends outside if they can help me contact people from the Celestial Organization and have them take me out?”
He explained his identity.
The male ghost was actually a member of a faction called the Celestial Organization, named An Yuankui. Over twenty years ago, an accident caused his Train to crash, and he himself used a Module to detach his soul from his dying body and come to this world.
Because he lacked System Binding, he couldn’t contact others after losing his Train.
With no other choice, An Yuankui had to stay here, and over many years, he gradually came to Control this Fengxiang Hotel full of various bizarre occurrences.
Because he was well-versed in how the Train System judged Station Worlds.
After gaining Control of this hotel, he began setting up some challenges and managed it to the level of a Level 7 Platform, hoping that one day he could meet people from the Celestial Organization here so they could take his soul away.
Every few months or so, a batch of Train Captains would come here to participate in the trials he set up.
As for the hotel’s receptionist, it was actually a product he modified using the corpses of Train Captains who had died here.
As for the differences between the rooms?
Basically, there was no difference; that was just a division he came up with to collect more Train Coins, nothing more.
