Kaidan Game Train: Abide Rule or Die!

Beibao had resolved to face death, but the anticipated pain failed to arrive. She looked at the man across her with suspicion: "What method did you use? The tickets are useless, and the poison has lost its effect... Is all of this fake?"

"What do you think?" Xu Huo gestured for her to sit down, "You’re alone, determined to carry on a surname, refusing others’ invitations, willing to sacrifice your life; do you think what you’re holding on to is real or fake?"

Beibao didn’t move or speak. If she had the courage to face death, she obviously wouldn’t be easily swayed.

"People who don’t fear death need a reason to die, and those who don’t fear living need a reason to live," Xu Huo continued, "The surname Gao must be your reason, but it seems you don’t really want to live or die for this surname."

"What if it is? What if it’s not?" Beibao countered.

"Why do you think Wan Yao tried so hard to force you and him together?" Xu Huo asked.

"Too full of himself," Beibao replied, "His family is powerful and influential, eats and sleeps well, and his life is too boring, so he wants to find something exciting to do."

"That’s part of it," Xu Huo smiled, "but the pursuit of the sublime and great is also a common trait among humans. The mystery and pressure of carrying a mission bring an unimaginable sense of achievement."

Beibao scoffed, "Unfortunately, the inheritance of the Gao surname isn’t anything sublime and great. It’s just a bright spot invented by people with utterly mundane and useless lives to justify themselves."

"How about this," Xu Huo suggested, "you help me, and I’ll find you a new reason to live well."

Beibao looked at him mockingly; though she didn’t speak, her expression was quite evident.

Indeed, Beibao is a player. If she didn’t want to live this life, she could easily move to another zone, even one without any war. She didn’t leave, which means there must be something keeping her here.

The deceased relatives, the friends who helped her, even the intangible inheritance of a surname, as she said, there must be something in an ordinary and useless life.

"You can consider it," Xu Huo said, "right here."

Beibao looked at him, "Is the boss in your hands?"

Xu Huo slightly shook his head, "He left after being separated from you, constantly contacting people to save you. When he couldn’t find anyone, he tried to trigger the warning system in the building to cause a commotion, but now he’s been taken to the security room for a lesson."

Beibao laughed after hearing this, but her expression quickly became somber again, "What’s the use of doing so much?"

After hesitating for a moment, she said, "What do you want me to help you with? Tell me and I’ll consider it."

"The previous Chief Governor of Yu Country came to Moon Corner Duchy more than ten years ago. He brought a token and sought out the Wan Family. At that time, the Wan Family hadn’t changed their surname yet. There should be many people in Moon Corner Duchy with intricate ties to the Gao surname like the Wan Family. I want to know the beginning and end of Gao Hui’s contact with the Wan Family." Xu Huo added, "Ideally, to obtain Gao Hui’s entire itinerary in Moon Corner Duchy."

"I thought you wanted me to help you find the token!" Beibao shrugged, "It’s the instance of the Yu Country’s national treasure, a twenty-something-year-old instance, hard not to know."

"What clues do you have about the token?" Xu Huo asked again.

"Everything I know is from the mouths of my deceased biological and adoptive parents. No one ever brought the national treasure to find me, so what clues could there be?" Beibao said casually.

"And the identity of the Wan Family was also told to you by them?" Xu Huo raised an eyebrow, "You know the situation of the Wan Family, which means there must be a fixed channel allowing you to learn about other descendants of the Gao surname. I hope you can be honest about this."

"Gao Hui must have met Wan Ping, why don’t you go directly to him?" Beibao responded with a question.

"It’s not the right time yet." Xu Huo poured himself a glass of water, "For some reason, I always feel that the descendants of the Gao and Peng surnames are aware of each other’s existence. They are like water, scattered in the sea but somehow sensing each other."

Beibao’s expression shifted slightly, then she said, "If I refuse to answer your questions, will you kill me?"

"Not at all," Xu Huo shook his head, "but there are many ways to make someone tell the truth. Given the state of Gao surname descendants, they wouldn’t implant a suicide chip in everyone’s brain."

Beibao pondered for a moment, "I want to change the terms of the exchange."

Xu Huo gestured for her to speak.

"Take me to see Lian Qingkong." Beibao said.

Xu Huo’s action of putting down the water glass paused, "Did you disclose to him that you are a descendant of the Gao surname?"

Beibao was surprised by his perception and nodded, "But he never replied."

No reply indicated either Lian Qingkong didn’t care, or the message channel was blocked. In either case, she dared not easily venture to Yu Country.

But no one ever came because of the message she sent, so it’s likely the former.

She really wanted to know the reason.

"Alright." Xu Huo agreed readily, "After this trip to Moon Corner Duchy, I also need to see him."

"Then speaking of which, you must have enough leverage to want to meet Lian Qingkong."

"Perhaps this leverage isn’t important." Beibao self-deprecatingly smiled, "Maybe I’m blinded by the leaf, I also want to hear others’ views."

"Everything I know indeed came from my parents’ accounts."

"My biological father and adoptive father were once children in the same orphanage. They were adopted by a couple. My biological father was informed about the Gao surname inheritance after reaching adulthood, and he was also identified by my grandparents as the Gao surname successor."

"Outwardly, none of us bears the Gao surname, so this surname can only be passed on privately. Due to the war, my biological father informed me about the Gao surname inheritance in advance. He instructed me to seek out my uncle in Moon Corner Duchy, and once grown up, I should have or adopt children, selecting one to continue the Gao surname lineage."

"At the time, the situation was perilous. My biological father didn’t have the opportunity to explain why this was necessary. Later, I wandered into Moon Corner Duchy and was found by my uncle, becoming his adopted daughter in title."

"Before passing away, my adoptive father told me he accidentally overheard conversations between his adoptive parents and my biological father, learning about the Gao surname inheritance. He questioned their love, questioned the brotherly bond, and overwhelmed by pressure, he ran away from home, eventually settling far away."

"In reality, before my biological father died, they reconnected. Originally, due to the war, my biological parents planned to seek refuge with him, but before they could, they died."

"After leaving home, my adoptive father began gradually investigating the descendants of the Gao surname. He discovered several families suspected of being Gao surname inheritors, the Wan Family being one of them. He also knew a bit about Gao Hui’s visit to the Wan Family over ten years ago."
