Chapter 29 Answers to Doubts
“Sister Shaya, are you one of the first batch of survivors to come to this world?”
Anyway, she probably wouldn’t kill him, so Ye Qiyan wasn’t as scared anymore.
Since that was the case, it was better to be a bit bolder and figure out some things he wanted to know; this senior from over 20 years ago must know a lot that he didn’t.
“No, there were quite a few batches of survivors before me, it’s just that they are rarely seen.”
“Why?”
Shaya snapped her fingers, and several chains condensed in mid-air, combining into a Train track.
“Remember, the world we are in is infinitely large, and all platforms are different worlds. In my era, there was a formidable fellow who wanted to measure how big the wilderness outside really was, so he united all the powerful Train Captains at the time to collect resources and boost his Train’s speed to a level even I could hardly imagine.”
As if thinking of a terrifying number, Shaya couldn’t help clicking her tongue.
“That guy had a Module, oh, you know what a Module is, right? My chains are also a Module, and you can think of it as magic or a sci-fi weapon, anyway, they are pretty much the same thing. This is also the best way for a Train Captain to enhance their own power. However, you are only a Level 3 Train Captain right now, so it’s still not easy to get a Module. After all, that thing can only be obtained with a tiny probability from treasure chests above Level 5 and after Train upgrades.”
“Hmm… You brat, your shooting was so accurate just now, you didn’t happen to get a Module in the upgrade options earlier and buy it, did you?”
Facing Shaya’s scrutinizing gaze, Ye Qiyan could only chuckle dryly.
He did indeed get a Module from the upgrade options, but it wasn’t related to shooting; rather, it was departure rights.
“What happened next? Did that person really measure the size of the entire world?”
Shaya was silent for a moment and shook her head.
“No, that guy died. He traveled at that unimaginable speed for a full year, yet he still didn’t encounter a single other Train in the wilderness. Suddenly one day, his friend’s avatar grayed out, which meant his Train was destroyed, and of course, he died too.”
“However, his death wasn’t without value. If a Voyage at that speed for a year still failed to find or see any other Trains, we can conclude that the wilderness traversed by all Train Captains is not the same one.”
“Returning to your question just now, survivors appear once every three years, and Train Captains travel through their respective worlds. If the number of people in a sector doesn’t reach a certain critical value, they won’t meet each other. Of course, this is just the usual case.”
Shaya pulled out a lollipop from goodness knows where and shoved it into her mouth.
“Oh, do you want one?”
“Thanks, I’m not hungry yet.”
“You’re welcome, I didn’t plan to give it to you anyway, this is my last one.”
She grinned evilly, bit the lollipop into pieces, casually took off the nun’s hat on her head, and stood up. It looked like she didn’t plan to continue discussing this topic.
“Alright, the questions are about enough, let’s answer one last question for you. Go find out the rest of the things you want to know on your own. Your level is too low, and telling you too much will make you overthink, which is not a good thing. Also, do you want some candy?”
Once again producing a lollipop from goodness knows where, without waiting for Ye Qiyan to answer, she peeled off the wrapper and shoved it straight into his mouth.
It was very sweet, but the aftertaste was somewhat bitter. The icy sensation made him inexplicably relaxed, and the lingering exhaustion from running away just now was swept away.
“How is it? Tastes pretty good, right?”
“Didn’t you say you only had one left…”
“Of course that was a lie to you.”
The prettier a woman is, the more she lies; this saying is completely true.
Crunching the candy piece, Ye Qiyan also thought of this last question.
“Do you know RUN Corporation?”
He told Shaya what he had seen and heard in Doomsday Town and Youyu Manor.
“?”
“Is there something wrong with this company?”
Seeing Shaya’s bewildered gaze, Ye Qiyan wondered if he had said something wrong.
“It’s nothing, I don’t know this company. But judging by your reaction, you must have seen such a faction across multiple platforms, right? Don’t pay too much attention to it; there are many similar factions. After all, this Train survival game has lasted for who knows how many years and months. There are always people who are unwilling to continue taking risks and want to stop their footsteps. The organizations and factions they establish are bound to affect some stations.”
“Alright, this question doesn’t count, but you don’t need to ask anymore either, it’s almost time.”
“Come, let you see Sister’s Train.”
Clap, clap, Shaya clapped her hands.
Tina, who had been missing all this time, trotted over from behind the church to her side.
“Sister Nun, everything is ready. Ah, it’s Mr. Prosecutor! Thank you, Mr. Prosecutor, for helping us. Everyone will thank Mr. Prosecutor.”
Tina happily approached Ye Qiyan, took his hand, and shook it.
“Tina is also my puppet. How is it, cute?”
“A puppet??”
“What, you don’t believe it? Little Tina is my finest creation.”
Ye Qiyan looked at Tina’s actions, which were completely indistinguishable from a real little girl, rubbed his eyes, and then reached out to poke Tina’s cheek.
Could this be a puppet? It’s completely identical to a real person! Oh no, she didn’t refine a real person into one, did she?
In his mind, an image emerged of Shaya grabbing a little girl and refining her in an instant.
Could it be that Shaya is actually a female demon lord, sealed here by some righteous person, and then he accidentally broke the seal?
“Better not make her angry. I’m so handsome, what if she refines me into a puppet? Wouldn’t that be the end of me?”
Rumble—
The church was trembling.
Shaya took Tina’s little hand and walked up to the prayer altar at the very front.
“System, prepare to depart!”
Familiar light screens frantically surged forth one after another.
This church was Shaya’s Train locomotive!?
“Hey, Ye Qiyan, take these things. Consider it a small reward for helping me open this world.”
Ye Qiyan was still shocked that the church turned into a Train when a black box was thrown over.
“Rest assured, this time it’s not something dangerous. As for what it is, you’ll see for yourself when you go back, and it’s definitely very suitable for you right now.”
“That means that card was really dangerous…”
“Ahem, stop letting your imagination run wild there, let you see what a high-level Train looks like!”
The church continuously changed, finally combining into the appearance of a locomotive. Black tracks appeared under the wheels, and in the blink of an eye, it appeared in the station outside the town.
“So fast!”
Compared to Shaya’s Train, Ye Qiyan felt that his own was about as slow as a snail.
