Train Survival: I Can Evolve Everything!
Chapter 183: Solomon's City under Martial Law!Under the night sky, Suoluo City was anything but quiet.
At the Endless Tower, headquarters of the Inspectorate.
Simake stood at the highest point of this tower, gazing up at the sky where the Tribunal floated above Suoluo City, occupying the true highest seat.
His eyes were filled with hatred and jealousy.
"Zhao Xi... that damned little girl, her strength, position, reputation... she always has to overshadow me. Suoluo City should only have our Inspectorate!"
Behind Simake, a group of inspectors remained silent with bowed heads, yet their eyes were equally filled with resentment.
Just as Simake had said.
Suoluo City was originally like the City of a Thousand Stars, having only their Inspectorate as the sole official military force.
However, Zhao Xi came here and established the Tribunal.
"This time, that old thing can no longer stop me. Suoluo City will belong to me forever!"
Simake's eyes shone with fanaticism.
Beside him.
A man completely wrapped up tightly, wearing a silver-gray breathing mask, exhaled a turbid breath, emitting a somewhat harsh mechanical sound.
"Are you sure you want to do this? Simake, if Zhao Xi dies, I don't think you can withstand the attack from the City of Eternal Night."
Camelin Garlo, collector of the Curse Card Sequence.
The pair of bloodshot eyes visible beneath the breathing mask appeared particularly weary.
He stared at Simake, his tone somewhat hesitant.
"Garlo, don't forget that the reason you lost that seal was because Zhao Xi let the Imperial Sequence people go. She would do such a thing—she might have already mingled with the Imperial Sequence Organization. Don't you want to retrieve the seal?"
"Moreover, you placed a curse on the Imperial Sequence thief. As soon as that person died, you could locate the seal's position. But what happened in the end? The curse didn't trigger. Who else in Suoluo City that day could lift your curse besides Zhao Xi?"
Garlo fell silent for a moment, lowering his head, and after a long while, sighed.
"You're right... I will place a curse on Zhao Xi. But after this, don't forget what you promised me."
The corners of Simake's mouth lifted as he casually waved his hand. He understood all too well what those who possessed card sequences desired most.
"Don't worry, after this matter, we will do our utmost to help you find the whereabouts of the Curse Card."
As for whether they would actually find it, that was another matter.
Under the night sky, the entire Suoluo City was enveloped in an inexplicable atmosphere.
Curfew, purges—inspectors began sealing off the entire Suoluo City starting from the first level.
Shops were not allowed to open, and all residents were forbidden from going out on the streets.
Even the gates leading into Suoluo City from the outside were closed today.
An ominous aura hung over the city's virtual sky like dark clouds.
"Hah~"
"Huh? I just took a nap, and what's going on outside?"
Early in the morning, Ye Qiyan was about to leave the inn.
The innkeeper quickly stopped him.
"Oh dear, sir, you'd better not go out. Martial law has been imposed outside!"
"Martial law?"
Looking outside the shop.
Large numbers of war machines equipped with weapons occupied every corner of the streets.
Had the people from the City of Eternal Night already attacked?
Ye Qiyan didn't trouble the innkeeper further and returned to his room on the fifth floor, looking outside through the floor-to-ceiling window.
"Inspectorate people, huh? Hmm?"
A light screen appeared.
In the Imperial Sequence Organization's chat room, a conversation appeared.
Zhu Xingshu: ["My dear members~ Is anyone in Suoluo City or wants to come to Suoluo City? Fate tells me many interesting things will happen here~ Perhaps someone might find the card sequence they want here, @Fan Huo @Lin You."]
Fan Huo: ["I say, can't you tag someone else? Every time you want to stir up trouble, you come to me. No time, I'm conquering a Station World. Going dark, don't look for me during this period."]
Lin You: ["Big sis, I almost lost one of my wives last time, and you haven't really compensated me yet, and now you want me to go... Besides, what's left in Suoluo City worth snatching? Wasn't the Order Card already taken back?"]
Compared to last time, Zhu Xingshu's appeal had clearly diminished considerably.
Just as Fan Huo said, the Order Card in this city had already been reclaimed by someone, making it completely unclear what benefits there were to coming to this city.
Ye Qiyan simply closed the light screen, rubbing his forehead in frustration.
"Has her streak of bad luck disappeared? So soon she's out causing trouble again..."
Ding ding, new messages arrived.
"Is that charlatan?"
Pulling up the light screen to check, the person sending the message was Menrojina.
["Young brother Ye, you're in Suoluo City right now, right? No need to deny it—I obtained a new Ritual Card and happened to sense the power of Arrogance while using it. So, which level are you on?"]
Well, since she had already said that much, Ye Qiyan saw no need to deny it.
["First level."]
["That's good. Remember, don't go to the fourth level. Dangerous things will happen there, and also..."]
Menrojina hesitated for a moment before continuing:
["You... know Grand Judge Zhao Xi, right?"]
["You could say that, not very familiar."]
The ambiguous answer made Menrojina smile wryly.
["Being cautious is right, but I think your relationship with that Judge should be quite good, hehe~ I have some information here. It's up to you whether to tell her or not. Of course, personally, I don't think she would necessarily believe it."]
She sent a screenshot of the information to Ye Qiyan.
Looking at the content, his brow furrowed slightly.
The owner of the Curse Card was going to make a move against Zhao Xi?
The City Lord and the head of the Inspectorate had made an agreement to make Zhao Xi fail or even die?
And all this was to happen while the City of Eternal Night was launching a war against Suoluo City?
Had the City Lord of Suoluo City and the head of the Inspectorate gone mad?
As the chat ended, Menrojina sent him a coordinate.
Located at the Central Tower in the second level of Suoluo City—if he encountered danger, he could go find her there.
Ye Qiyan looked at the names in his friends list.
After much deliberation, he sent a message to Zhao Xi.
["The city is under martial law, and the upper levels seem even stricter. I have a friend who obtained some information related to the Inspectorate and, the Mayor. Can't guarantee its authenticity. Do you want to see it?"]
In the Tribunal, inside Zhao Xi's train.
Having changed into her uniform, Zhao Xi, wearing the medal unique to the Grand Judge on her chest, walked straight out.
Her mood was inexplicably poor.
Looking up at the sky, it was overcast with dark clouds.
The weather today seemed particularly unpleasant.
Outside, more than a dozen Judges were waiting here.
This number was pitifully small compared to the inspectors.
Because the Judges in the Tribunal were those who had not abandoned their trains. In fact, Zhao Xi never demanded that anyone remain in Suoluo City permanently.
Traveling through the wasteland, continuing to grow stronger—this was the freedom unique to the Tribunal.
Ding ding—Ye Qiyan's message caught Zhao Xi's attention.
She pulled up the light screen, staring at the line of text, momentarily lost in thought.
"......"
["No, I don't want to see it. It's not important. The City Lord will make her own judgment."]
Hmm, seeing this response, Ye Qiyan confirmed one thing.
Zhao Xi wasn't completely unaware.
She just didn't really want to face it.
This Grand Judge was far less strong than she appeared to be.
