Train Survival: I Can Evolve Everything!

Behind the dog-headed statue, Ye Qiyan's figure appeared.

[Defiance × Arrogance]

Standing atop the dog's head, he found the hidden place at the back that the old Believer he had knocked out had spoken of.

On the statue carved from a single massive stone, there was only one extremely concealed spot where a differently colored stone slab existed, a place no one would normally ever discover.

This was the statue of the deity worshipped by the Believers in the temple.

To discover this slab, one had to stand atop the statue's head, which for a Believer was an act of disrespect towards their faith.

The one who hid it seemed not to want anyone to find this thing.

This was strange.

Because according to the story told by the Caravan Leader.

Having obtained the desert, having obtained the spoils, why would it then hide them?

Ye Qiyan lifted the stone slab, and after seeing what was inside, he understood why the Caravan Leader had said it was a knife.

This was not a knife.

It was a feather.

A feather interwoven with red and gold.

Rumble—

The moment Ye Qiyan took hold of the feather.

The temple trembled, and all the Believers stumbled and fell to the ground.

The night sky was suddenly illuminated by a brilliant golden radiance.

Looking up.

He saw only a sky full of yellow sand covering the night, with a phantom image of a dog-headed, human-bodied figure floating above it.

"Thief!!!"

An angry voice resounded through the night sky.

Everyone heard this voice. The people in the temple all knelt and prayed, some even with tears in their eyes.

Yellow sand surged into the temple, rushing towards Ye Qiyan atop the statue.

Though he maintained the state of Arrogance, it was precisely because of Arrogance that his existence was both subconsciously impossible for people to see, yet so dazzlingly radiant that people couldn't help but want to look, yet were unable to see clearly.

Ye Qiyan picked up that feather and waved it towards the sky.

He adjusted his hat, then made a gesture at the dog-headed figure in the sky.

"Goodbye~"

[Anchor—]

[Voyage]

Submerged...

His figure sank into that warm, formless abyss and disappeared.

"Thief! Find him for me! Kill her! Retrieve my treasure from its hands!"

The phantom of the dog-headed, human-bodied Heavenly God Matmu roared in fury.

All the Believers in the entire city sprang into action, wanting to find Ye Qiyan's traces.

But where could they possibly look?

They didn't know Ye Qiyan's appearance, and even the clothes on his body were fake simulations created by Illusory Attire.

There wasn't much they could do.

When the black-haired Young Man opened his eyes, returning from the Voyage.

His figure had already appeared within the Merchant Guild, in the room where he had left an Anchor Point marked by the Anchor.

A happy pixelated emoji appeared on Eve's face as she scooted up to her master, waving her oval-shaped hand.

A line of pixel-style text also appeared on her face.

"Has that cat-eared woman been here?"

"If there's no ill intent, then it's not a problem. Don't worry about her."

Ye Qiyan rubbed the top of Eve's head, then summoned Lisette from the Armament Space.

"This feather..."

[Nefeti's Reversed Feather (Level 9)]

[Contains undying flame. When suffering a fatal injury, it can be consumed to rapidly restore one's injuries.]

[This is the most important feather of the desert's guardian deity Nefeti. It was deceived by the one it trusted most, had its feathers plucked, lost its undying power, and was thus defeated by Matmu.]

[Note: To the betrayer, repay with pain.]

"It really is something from that Nefeti. The effect is quite strong, like a budget version of 'Refusal of Death,' huh? No, the method of use and the effect are also quite different."

The existence of Refusal of Death ensured one would not die no matter what kind of attack was suffered, but if instantly killed by a powerful attack, the restorative ability brought by this feather would be meaningless.

"In that case..."

Ye Qiyan took out that Spirit Jade he had found within Nefeti's paper remains.

He placed the two together.

Unfortunately, the imagined effect of restoring power to the Spirit Jade did not appear.

"Are there other conditions?"

Ye Qiyan pondered briefly, temporarily storing both items away.

Knock knock knock—

The door was knocked at this moment.

The voice of that Cat-Woman President Aishara came from outside the door.

"Mr. Ye, have you... woken up?"

Ye Qiyan glanced at the time on his pocket watch.

[23:33:11]

At this hour, she comes to ask if he's awake?

Does she have an ulterior motive? Or... has she discovered something?

Issuing a command, Lisette walked to the door and unlocked it.

"Hah~ Just woke up. Is there something, Miss Aishara?"

Ye Qiyan yawned sleepily, looking at the woman before him with a peaceful smile.

Lisette and Eve silently stared at Aishara, making her feel a bit uneasy.

Her feline instincts made her sense a hint of danger, making her want to flee immediately.

But, when a certain figure flashed through her mind, reason overcame fear. Gritting her teeth, she stepped into the room and, incidentally, closed the door behind her.

"Mr. Ye... I heard from my subordinates that you are very interested in the temple, in the former guardian deity Nefeti?"

"Are you... an Outsider?"

Outsider... This term was clearly not a designation for Ye Qiyan coming from another city.

The Outsider she spoke of must be a Train Conductor, right~

"Outsider? If you mean I come from another city, then I suppose so."

"I am merely a Traveler journeying through the desert. Isn't it only natural to be interested in interesting things?"

Aishara felt the atmosphere in the room grow even stranger.

The Thrust on Lisette's back shoulder flickered faintly, and one of Eve's weapon slots glimmered slightly.

"Gulp—"

Aishara swallowed her saliva, took a deep breath, and shook her head.

"You can deceive others, but not me... I know very well that this entire world is desert, beyond the desert is still desert... wherever there is sand, it is all the territory of Matmu."

"If you lived in the desert, how could you not know of the Heavenly God's existence? So... you are either a Mage from ancient times who has slept until now, or an Outsider who came from another world."

A very reasonable guess.

If it were Ye Qiyan, he would think the same.

A slumbering Mage? That identity... is quite interesting.

He chuckled mischievously in his heart, instantly arranging his facial expression into a serious state, sitting up straight, his tone becoming exceptionally aloof.

"Hmm, I am indeed the Mage from ancient times who has slept until now, just as you said~"

[Bewitchment—]

Ye Qiyan looked at Aishara's utterly astonished expression and snapped his fingers.

"So, what is an Outsider? Also, you seem to know quite a bit about Nefeti~ Can you tell me what you know?"

"Huh?"
