Train Survival: I Can Evolve Everything!

Suoluo City, High Tower Council.

Zhao Xi sat on an extra-tall high chair, watching the person below, boredly propping her chin.

"To summarize! Grand Judge Zhao Xi of the Tribunal, not only did you fail to prevent the Imperial Sequence Organization from stealing the Order Card, but you also left the scene, causing Suoluo City to lose an important treasure. I propose to the elders! Strip her of her position! Expel her from the city!"

The council members erupted in commotion.

Only the dozen or so people from the Tribunal were extremely angry, wanting to rush out and beat up the speaking man. Although Zhao Xi usually appeared cold and aloof, everyone both inside and outside Suoluo City knew that because of her existence, this city could be considered relatively fair.

Sitting directly opposite Zhao Xi were an elderly woman and a middle-aged man.

The former was the mayor of Suoluo City, while the latter was the city's Inspector General.

According to Suoluo City's position hierarchy, these three were considered equal in rank.

"Are you finished?"

The young man gritted his teeth, looking up at Zhao Xi on the highest level.

"Of course! No matter who it is, even if it's the Grand Judge of the Tribunal, anyone who commits such crimes should..."

"Did I permit you to continue speaking? You're from the Inspectorate, aren't you."

The young man's words were interrupted by a tone that revealed no emotion.

Silence...

A bone-chilling cold made the young man instinctively step back several steps.

Zhao Xi raised her face, her expression calm as if the person being impeached wasn't her.

"The Tribunal's duty is to judge crimes. What you said is indeed true, so I am indeed guilty."

The young man's eyes lit up, but before he could continue speaking, he saw Zhao Xi raise her hand and toss a medal into the air.

This medal emitted a light screen that displayed.

On it, the words "Judgment" shone brightly!

She slowly stood up, her cold gaze falling on the young man.

"I am the Grand Judge of Suoluo City. All crimes must be judged by me. Since I am guilty, I hereby pronounce that this crime is exempt."

The "Judgment" on the light screen continuously transformed, accompanied by a majestic symphony.

The text changed.

【Innocent!】

"You, you're abusing your autho..!"

"And also."

Zhao Xi once again interrupted what the young man wanted to say, casually waving her hand.

"You have presumptuously discussed the Grand Judge. I pronounce in court: strip you of your status, exile to the wilderness."

The light screen changed again, the text shifting once more.

【Guilty!】

"No! Don't! Inspector General! Save me, I don't want to go to the wilderness, I!!"

Bang——!

A gunshot sounded from the darkness.

The young man who had reached out to the Inspector General for help fell to the ground, blood soaking the wooden platform beneath him, continuously flowing.

Ignoring the commotion below, Zhao Xi slightly frowned and looked at the middle-aged man opposite her.

"Simake, you've crossed the line. And he was your person."

The man called Simake just shrugged with a smile.

"Miss Zhao, I don't understand what you're saying? Moreover, even if he was my person, so what? He actually had the audacity to presumptuously discuss the Tribunal's Grand Judge. Even if he hadn't been assassinated by that assassin, I would have punished him, hehe~"

Malice completely unconcealed.

What assassin—anyone could see that this young man was clearly sent by Simake specifically to annoy Zhao Xi.

Even Simake himself knew very well that such an accusation was meaningless. The assassin had long been prepared, and from the moment the young man stepped onto the platform, his fate was sealed.

"Tch, City Lord, I have matters to attend to and need to leave first. I'll leave this place to the Inspectorate people, is that alright?"

Compared to her dissatisfaction and disdain for Simake, Zhao Xi showed respect when facing the elderly woman.

The smile on Simake's face gradually faded as he watched Zhao Xi's departing back.

A flash of killing intent appeared in his eyes, coming and going quickly, and Simake soon resumed his fake smile.

He also bowed slightly to the elderly woman.

"City Lord, I also have some matters to handle, hehe. The people below aren't very sensible and need proper education.."

After speaking, he turned and left.

In the High Tower Council, only the elderly woman remained, not speaking a word, not moving an inch.

Like... a statue.

Until, a complex smile appeared on her aged face, and she spoke softly in a voice only she could hear:

"It's about to begin."

Tribunal.

Returning to her own territory, Zhao Xi walked with a gloomy expression to a building. The Tribunal members following behind her remained silent, extremely nervous inside, afraid that Zhao Xi would vent her anger on them because of what just happened.

"What are you all still standing here for?"

Stopping, her icy gaze swept over them, making everyone bow their heads even lower.

"Don't you all have your own matters to attend to? Or do I need to teach you what to do?"

Suoluo City, after losing that Order Card.

Unlike the relatively stable City of a Thousand Stars.

This city had fallen into unprecedented chaos.

She knew very well that this chaos was intentionally caused by someone, and she even knew who that person was.

Simake, this man she detested.

What exactly was he trying to do?

Dispersing the Tribunal members, she entered this building that belonged exclusively to her.

Pushing open the door.

Kicking off her shoes, she tiredly jumped onto a large bed covered with various stuffed toys and buried herself in them.

"Being in my own train is still the best... Outside is really annoying..."

This was her train, parked here for many years, silent here.

"It's been a long time since I've been to the wilderness..."

Zhao Xi's tone contained unwillingness and some loneliness, but this loneliness was quickly shaken off.

"No... I'm the Grand Judge of Suoluo... Of course I can't just leave casually..."

If someone could take a photo here and post it with the headline, "Shocking! Grand Judge Zhao Xi's room is actually this pink?", the newspaper for that period would probably sell out completely.

Ding ding——

A notification sound rang in her ear—someone had sent her a message.

"Hmm?"

"Who could it be?"

There weren't many names in her friend list. Besides the Judges under her command, most avatars had turned gray.

There were even fewer Judges who would send her messages at this time, and besides those Judges, Zhao Xi couldn't think of anyone else who would speak with her.

Slowly sitting up, she brought up the light screen and looked at the name in the private chat interface, blinking her eyes several times.

"Mmm..."

Ye Qiyan: ["Hello, I have a question I'd like to ask you."]

After sending the message to Zhao Xi, Ye Qiyan thought the other party would take some time to respond.

Unexpectedly, in just an instant, a message was sent back.

["Encountered something you don't understand? Tell me about it."]

Zhao Xi swung her two fair legs, hugging several stuffed animals, lying on the bed while eating snacks and touching the light screen. A faint curve appeared at the corner of her mouth—she seemed to be in a better mood because of Ye Qiyan's question.

"So fast, I thought she'd be very busy. Whatever."

Without overthinking it, hiding the part about Train Coins, Ye Qiyan explained about the guild invitation card and what happened with Qin Qiang.

["Oh, it's normal that you don't know about that thing. As the name suggests, it allows guilds from other cities to transfer to the current city. Without that card, a guild's bound city cannot be changed—they can only rebuild, which would reset the guild level to 1. Many guild permissions would have to be obtained from scratch. However, is the City of Eternal Night experiencing riots...."]

Licking the potato chip powder from her fingers, Zhao Xi poked her cheek, thinking briefly.

["I can give you that invitation card, but you can come to Suoluo City. There happens to be something where I need your Hunt-Patrol Mech-Dragon to help me. Of course, I'll provide the Train Coins needed for activation—you don't need to spend money, I'll cover the full cost."]

There was money to be made again, and Ye Qiyan was quite happy about it.

The other party was quite generous with money.

The Train Coins he could get probably wouldn't be too few.

Moreover, he still had the Major Consumption Reduction module.

If he needed to activate the Hunt-Patrol Mech-Dragon's Transcend Mode once, he could completely save the required 80 Train Coins.

But to activate Transcend Mode in the city? Was this short Grand Judge planning to kill someone?

["Okay, I'll choose Suoluo City for my next stop."]

["I'll wait for you. Be careful after entering the city—it hasn't been very peaceful recently. There are lots of troublesome matters, really. It's just the loss of order though..."]

She was speaking quite a lot.

She had even started mentioning matters related to order.

Ye Qiyan felt it necessary to pretend complete ignorance, and also wanted to hear the perspective on card sequences from someone like Zhao Xi, who was powerful but not a card sequence holder.

["You don't know about order? Oh, right, it's normal that you wouldn't know about such things."]

After some preparation, Zhao Xi explained the simplified version about card sequences, which was quite similar to what Ye Qiyan had learned from Shaya.

["To summarize, the Order Card is a tool used to maintain city stability. Although I don't really like it, it's actually good that it's lost now. Besides making the city a bit chaotic, there aren't any bad aspects. Oh right, people who possess card sequences are considered relatively powerful Train Conductors in the train world. There's currently an organization called the Imperial Sequence Organization collecting card sequences—those guys are dangerous. If you encounter these people on the wanted list, remember to stay far away. They're all crazy, especially one charlatan."]
