Ye Qiyan did not lie.

He once again returned to stay at that inn without its proprietress.

When morning arrived, the villagers in the village still went about their business as usual.

It was just that they seemed to have no memory whatsoever of the existence of the innkeeper, Nishiki Ori.

Another deep night arrived.

The controller behind this station still only dispatched one person.

This time, it was the Judge.

The battle was still intense, but as long as Ye Qiyan used the Raven Demon to bestow the concept of death upon them, the final result would undoubtedly end with his victory.

Once the battle ended, the people in the village on the new day would still have no memory of the Judge who had once existed.

When the village chief of this human-werewolf village died under the blade of Moon Veil.

Here, only one person remained.

The Errand Runner, Jace.

"Yo, brother, morning, how'd you sleep last night?"

In the morning.

Jace was jogging at the entrance of the inn, a warm smile spread across his face.

Ye Qiyan leaned against the doorframe of the inn. Beside him, the Demon Raven was silently disposing of the village chief's remaining corpse.

But Jace acted as if he couldn't see it at all.

"Didn't sleep. Isn't it time to leave soon? A bit of insomnia~"

"How about you? As the only person in this village, how have you been sleeping these past few days?"

"On... only... Oh, haha, I sleep very soundly. I'm off to run some errands. Oh right, right, I'll treat you to lunch at noon. Meet you at the village kitchen then!"

Jace gradually moved away. He was going to run errands for people. But, for whom?

He stopped in his tracks.

A flash of confusion appeared in his eyes. He actually turned around and walked back to stand before Ye Qiyan.

"Brother, do you have anything you need me to do?"

"I, I... I don't seem to have any work today?"

Of course he had no work.

Because he was the only person left in the village.

"What work did you do yesterday?"

Ye Qiyan ate the breakfast Lisette brought to his lips and asked this question.

"Don't rush, think about it carefully."

"Yesterday, yesterday..."

If there were nine people in the village, then having one erased from memory might not be noticed by the remaining people.

If there were still two people in the village, even if the existence of everyone else disappeared, these two could still barely make this situation seem "reasonable."

But what if only this last person remained in the village?

"I, I was running errands yesterday, just like usual. It was for, for, who was I running errands for?!"

Just like now.

Ye Qiyan only needed an ordinary question to make him realize how bizarre this "reasonableness" existing in his mind was.

He was the only resident in the village.

Yet he was the village's Errand Runner.

"I... I... I can't figure it out. Brother, what did I do yesterday?! You must know, right?!"

"Of course. Yesterday you did work for the Village Chief. The day before was for the Doctor. The day before that was for the Cook..."

This sequence was the reversed order of the villagers' deaths.

Except for the Innkeeper on the first day, whoever this Jace went to run errands for would be the person who came to attack Ye Qiyan late at night.

"Village Chief? Doctor? Cook..."

"Who are they? They..."

Jace kept repeating these villagers' occupations.

Bong—!

The sound of the village's grandfather clock being struck rang out.

Jace stopped his frantic behavior. He looked deeply at Ye Qiyan.

The voice that spoke became very strange.

It was not his voice.

"Even if you kill the last 'villager,' you won't be able to leave here."

"Because your train has already disappeared!"

The entity behind this human-werewolf village finally couldn't help but reveal itself when only this last villager remained.

It used Jace's body to utter these words.

And just as it said.

That tunnel devoid of any light seemed to transform into a worm, swallowing the wooden station along with Ye Qiyan's train into itself.

"Human, Train Conductor, you, stay here forever."

"Become a resident of this human-werewolf village!"

"The only resident!"

"I will let you live forever, let you repeat this day forever!"

"Just like them!"

From the Unmarked Burial Ground, faceless corpses crawled out.

From the Innkeeper all the way to Village Chief Warren, who had just been tossed in by the Raven Demon.

They maintained their state at death, crawling towards Ye Qiyan like zombies.

"You killed them. They were already immortal. You are the murderer. You are the werewolf. Hehe, they are free, but you cannot be free!"

The train was plunged into darkness.

Even the control modules could not be used.

The System's authority also seemed to be blocked by this darkness.

Modules unusable, unable to establish communication.

Even the Illusory Surveillant also lost its feed.

"To actually target the train? This is the first time I've encountered something like this in a Station World."

"It seems I was still too careless."

Ye Qiyan whispered softly, looking at the corpses and the controlled Jace before him, his brow slightly raised.

He snapped his fingers lightly. A trace of demonic brilliance flashed at Ye Qiyan's fingertip.

Immediately after, his face filled with despair, and his voice gradually trembled, as if he had become utterly terrified in the face of this scene.

"How could this be? Damn it, how do I leave here without my train?!"

"Who exactly are you? Where exactly are you?! What exactly is going on with this station?!"

"What secrets does this place hold?!"

Questions, one after another.

A demon's whisper~ lingered by Jace's ear.

"Quickly, tell me~"

"After all, I can't escape anymore~"

The existence attached to Jace was very pleased to see Ye Qiyan's expression.

It answered truthfully:

"I am the legacy left by the great Supreme Deity, the Time Sovereign!"

"I am in the tunnel, watching you right now!"

"Everything here is a playground created by the Time Sovereign to toy with humans!"

"Without a train, you cannot leave this station! And you, insignificant human, without a train, you cannot possibly enter the void space created by the gods!"

"You are trapped here!"

"I will watch you there, watch the day you commit suicide, and then, rewind time! Let you despair forever!"

Is this... the secret?

It always feels... as soon as gods are involved.

It becomes exceptionally boring.

The expression on Ye Qiyan's face gradually transformed into a smile.

He asked again.

"Can you tell me what I must do to retrieve my train and enter that tunnel to kill you?"

"Why should I..."

A pitch-black demon card hovered at Ye Qiyan's fingertip.

The Card Sequence ring named "Evil" manifested behind the ruler.

He kept moving forward, looking down at the "Jace" who kept retreating.

"Answer me."
