Chapter 204

Chapter 204: Goody Two-Shoes? Unknown Celestial Organization?

“Why should I help you?”

“You also said that other Train Captains have been here before. How come you never thought of asking others for help before?”

With Bewitchment active, this fellow was certainly incapable of lying in front of Ye Qiyan, but what he said still sounded a bit strange.

An Yuankui fearfully glanced at the Great Compassion Heavy Machine Gun summoned by Eve and hurriedly explained,

“I wanted to as well, but too few Train Captains can clear the level. Even those who manage to survive take their rewards and run off in a hurry. Who knows what’s been going on these past few years—the frequency of Train Captains coming here has become lower than before. There’s only been this once this year…”

“Then why didn’t you just wait outside?”

An Yuankui shook his head.

“The hotel has its own rules.”

“According to the rules, as long as a Train Captain comes to this world, I must stay in this room to monitor you, guide anomalies to launch attacks against you, and I must never step outside before you leave. Otherwise, my Mental Power will continuously decrease, and a decrease in Mental Power means my remaining soul will perish along with it.”

“Besides, under normal circumstances, it should be impossible for anyone to find this room directly…”

“Except for you…”

Ye Qiyan gently traced his fingers over Bewitchment.

This time, what he said was detailed and relatively reasonable.

Walking in front of the pile of monitor screens and looking at the two Train Captains in those two rooms, he thought for a moment.

“What will be obtained after clearing the level?”

An Yuankui hurriedly pointed to the center of the monitors, where a coffin-shaped box was prominently sitting right in the middle of the image.

“On the topmost floor, I left everything I could collect after my Train was destroyed in that place. The rules of this hotel allow props or whatever else to be stuffed into a Treasure Chest every time a Train Captain arrives.”

A Treasure Chest?

Hm?

Ye Qiyan’s eyes raised slightly.

He took out his pocket watch and glanced at the time on it.

From the time he arrived here, it had only been about half an hour.

Therefore, if this Treasure Chest was the most precious thing in this Platform, Wall-E should be able to find it before long.

If it wasn’t the Treasure Chest…

The corners of Ye Qiyan’s mouth curved upward.

The sound of Bewitchment, in a place unknown to anyone, influenced An Yuankui before him.

“No rush, heh, helping you is only right. We’re all Train Captains surviving in the wilderness, so helping each other out is not a problem.”

An Yuankui’s eyes lit up—it was a gaze as if he had seen one of his own kind.

“Friend, you’re right! Our Celestial Organization upholds this exact idea! Rest assured, once you help me get out, I’ll definitely have the boss invite you to join the organization. We’re very strong! Among all the organizations in the entire wilderness world, there are probably very few that can be stronger than us!”

“However, friend, have you really never heard of the Celestial Organization? We have support strongholds to help weak Train Captains in every slightly larger city. You can see them as soon as you step out of the station.”

Very strong? Supporting weak Train Captains?

If such an organization truly existed, it was impossible that he had never heard of it at all.

Strange.

Or could it really be such a coincidence that he completely missed it?

Ye Qiyan’s fingers swiped, and his palm gently pressed down on top of Eve’s head.

The Train System appeared before his eyes, opening the public Chat Room within the section to search for the keyword “Celestial Organization”.

Nothing.

Then it wasn’t his problem.

If these people in the same batch as him had truly encountered such an organization, it was impossible they wouldn’t mention it.

Then, either An Yuankui was lying—though Bewitchment could even influence possessed deities, and he didn’t believe An Yuankui could be exempt—

Or… has the Celestial Organization already undergone changes, or perhaps even been destroyed?

“Perhaps it’s because I’ve seen relatively little, but I truly haven’t heard of the Celestial Organization. However, my Train communication system currently has some issues and requires Train Coins to fix it.”

An Yuankui didn’t doubt the truthfulness of Ye Qiyan’s words at all. This trust didn’t stem from Bewitchment, but from himself.

Did he actually believe it?

“Oh, oh, you need Train Coins, right? Well… over all these years, I have saved up some, but most of them were used to repair my Train. I don’t know if the remaining ones will be enough…”

An Yuankui floated under the only wooden plank bed in this room and pulled out a frog-shaped pocket.

He pried open the frog’s mouth and poured out over twenty Train Coins.

“There’s only these… Friend, do you think… it’s enough?”

So few?

Eve picked up those Train Coins and placed them into Ye Qiyan’s hands.

He casually weighed them a few times and glanced back at Bewitchment.

This fellow couldn’t possibly lie in front of Bewitchment, right? Staying in this hotel for so many years, and he only had this little?

“I noticed the prices for the guest rooms downstairs are quite high.”

The implication was very clear.

An Yuankui felt a bit awkward again.

“Aren’t there still free rooms? Everyone has it hard. If I charge money randomly like that, I’ve already been pretty excessive. Besides, for some of what I collected previously, I thought about trying to repair the Train, and almost all of it was spent…”

“…”

This person is so strange.

Clearly in his current situation, he was still considering others?

As one of the Train Captains, he had never seen a goody two-shoes like this before.

But even if he truly was a goody two-shoes, being able to stay in the Train world for many years meant he shouldn’t trust others so easily.

Unless the environment he was once in was worth making him trust strangers.

This feeling…

Mental influence?

Similar to the Order Card in the city?

Or something else?

“Are these really not enough?”

“I have some of my own too. For repairs, it’s just about enough.”

Ye Qiyan casually uttered lies. Hearing this, An Yuankui immediately revealed a look of pleasant surprise.

“Really, haha! Rest assured, friend! I used to be a Level 29 Train Captain. Once I return to the organization, I’ll definitely find a way to repay you!”

Such a person was truly rare, though Ye Qiyan didn’t think of him as foolish for it.

He wouldn’t be such a person himself, but neither would he mock him.

“I need a little time.”

“It’s fine, it’s fine, haha! I’m finally going to be able to leave. The boss must have been looking for me for many years!”

“Right, I still don’t know your name?”

Ye Qiyan hung the pure purification stone around his neck and stroked Eve, who was still pointing her muzzle at An Yuankui beside him.

The alert had not been lifted.

In other words, Eve could still detect the presence of hostility from this fellow.

Do not forget.

The coordinates of the Sandbox were also right here.

The meaning of the coordinates was the most dangerous and hostile unit in this station.

Dangerous, hostile…

Ye Qiyan smiled and said,

“As for my name… My name is Altos.”

This time, he decided not to use Zhu Xingtu’s name.

That fellow was currently plagued by Bad Luck, and Ye Qiyan didn’t want to be affected by it.
