Train Survival: I Can Evolve Everything!

["So, are you currently in some doomsday world?"]

["It seems you really are quite impressive, hmph, as expected of someone possessing a card sequence from the Imperial Sequence Organization~"]

["Don't misunderstand, Menrojina didn't tell me. After all, I am the Grand Judge of the Tribunal. Thinking about the previous events a little, I could guess about seventy to eighty percent of the truth."]

Ye Qiyan blinked. That Zhao Xi would suddenly bring this up wasn't all that surprising.

Back in Suoluo City, after he rescued Zhao Xi and brought her to Menrojina, he hadn't really planned to keep hiding it.

["I was just afraid you'd arrest me. By the way, I haven't asked you yet, what's the reason for suddenly contacting me this time?"]

In her carriage, Zhao Xi hugged a large teddy bear plushie, munched on potato chips, blinked her eyes, stared at the lines of text in the chat window, her fingers hovering in mid-air.

In fact, her sudden contact with Ye Qiyan was completely on a whim.

Not long ago, she had successfully conquered an advanced station. This long-awaited progress made her inexplicably want to share the joy of this moment with someone.

There were only Menrojina and Ye Qiyan left.

The former goes without saying; the two had merely reached a transaction, the content of which even had a little bit to do with Ye Qiyan.

As for the latter...

When, on a whim, she opened the chat dialog with him, the system's permission prompt appeared stating that due to different time flow rates, a conversation could not be initiated.

Zhao Xi didn't overthink it at all. She immediately used synchronization permissions to ask about his situation.

So, Ye Qiyan's question truly stumped this short-statured Grand Judge.

["Well... nothing much... ah, I just suddenly remembered, if you come across any cute plushies at that station, you could keep them for me. I'll buy them with Train Coins. Of course, this matter absolutely, absolutely must not be mentioned to anyone else!"]

She randomly found a reason, wanting to steer the topic away.

["Right, let's talk about the doomsday world. How many days have you been there? Has it been close to 10 days yet?"]

["Not yet. 10 days? What happens then?"]

["Nothing much, just the world's destruction."]

["?"]

The casual, offhand tone sounded as if she was just joking, but it seemed this was not a joke.

["Oh, haven't I mentioned it before? The doomsday station worlds that Train Conductors enter are all on the brink of collapse.

The collapse time is usually around ten days. The doomsday world will then disintegrate and disperse. The vast majority will turn to dust and vanish, and the remaining parts will become various low-level stations."]

["Low-level stations?"]

["Mhm, think carefully. Those stations you experienced after entering the Wasteland, weren't most of them just a single room, a building, a small island, or some other space?"]

["Their origin is that they are remnants left behind after the destruction of a station world that was at least level 10."]

["Of course, not all low-level stations are like this. This is just one of the situations."]

["If you're not in such a hurry to leave, just stay until the end. Go witness the final moment of death for the doomsday world you're in."]

Ye Qiyan recalled the stations he had passed through before. They were indeed as Zhao Xi described.

If that's the case, then the oasis where he obtained that Disaster Card was originally supposed to become some level six or seven station, to be entered by some low-level Train Conductor.

Then, what about this White Snow City? Would it, along with the world's shattering, ultimately become a low-level station? Or... along with the arrival of the doomsday, be destroyed together?

["I understand. Thank you, Zhao Xi. If I come across any cute plushies, I'll keep an eye out for you."]

A faint flush of embarrassment rose on Zhao Xi's face. She had just randomly made up an excuse, and he actually remembered it.

["It's fine. I have other matters, so... let's leave it at that for now."]

["Mhm. Then, one last thing."]

["What?"]

["Congratulations on successfully conquering the station."]

The conversation ended.

Zhao Xi stared blankly at the final line of text on the light screen.

For a long, long time....

"......"

"Thank you."

Having received the news that the world was about to be destroyed, Ye Qiyan went to the train roof, pondering in his heart whether to tell others about this.

The doomsday could not be stopped. Ye Qiyan didn't harbor any such unrealistic thoughts.

It was just that, compared to knowing this news and spending the next few days in panic, perhaps knowing nothing and continuing as usual might be the best choice for ordinary people.

"Forget it. For the sake of those four hundred and seventy-three Train Coins."

He snapped his fingers.

Summoning a Demon Raven to fly into the tall Central Research Institute before him.

Not long after.

Anjie, wearing a white lab coat, ran out following the Demon Raven.

"Huff, huff... Mr. Ye, did you need something?"

Anjie raised her eyes, looking up at Ye Qiyan on the train roof. An inexplicable, faint sense of panic inexplicably arose in her heart.

Ye Qiyan didn't waste words.

He told her the news that Zhao Xi had shared.

After Anjie finished listening to Ye Qiyan's words, her gaze gradually became somewhat vacant, the corner of her mouth twitched slightly, and she forced out a smile uglier than crying.

"You... you're not joking, right..."

She stared at Ye Qiyan's face, wanting to see even a momentary hint of amusement on it.

But, there was none.

["......I understand, Mr. Ye. Thank you for telling me this... Please, keep it confidential from the others... I... will think of something."]

Anjie seemed to have become a living corpse that had lost its soul, returning lifelessly to that research institute.

["Witnessing the destruction of a world, huh..."]

Even after Anjie's figure disappeared from sight, Ye Qiyan did not return to the climate-controlled carriage. Lying there, gazing at the star-filled night sky, he murmured softly.

["So, this is the meaning of a Train Conductor coming to a Doomsday Station?"]

To attend a world's funeral.

To witness the moment of its destruction.

["Alright then, looks like I'll be staying a few more days. Should I take a few photos as mementos?"]

["Lisette!"]

He called out.

Inside the carriage, the mechanical maid, indistinguishable from a human, picked up the ordinary, unremarkable camera from the edge of the bed with a smiling expression.

["Do you know how to take photos?"]

She blinked.

A stream of data light flashed in her eyes.

Her introduction light screen appeared before Ye Qiyan.

Within the ordinary modules, following this question, a new entry appeared.

["Mhm~ I do~"]
