If Ye Qiyan had a pair of lively rabbit ears on his head like Eve's, their shape right now would definitely be a huge question mark.

Although the power of Arrogance was only activated at its lowest level, unless it was someone who knew him, they shouldn't be able to recognize him, right?

"You know me?"

The young man nodded excitedly.

"I know, I know! You're my idol! Back at the Hanging Gardens! And Suoluo City! You saved me twice! Twice!"

Before Ye Qiyan could say anything else, this young man rattled off a long string of words at an extremely rapid pace.

His name was Ding Xiuqi, and the mouse-girl beside him was called Shushu.

As a Train Conductor who arrived in this world twelve years ago, his Train level had already reached 41. Among Train Conductors, he wasn't considered top-tier, but he could confidently call himself a senior Train Conductor in front of outsiders.

First, he experienced the second fall incident at the Hanging Gardens, then later while resting in Suoluo City, he was forced to participate in the war against the vampires and the final End.

These two events made him think his days were numbered.

Yet, it was also during these two incidents that he witnessed the appearance of a powerful figure.

[Emperor's Order · Demon Mech-Dragon Man · Altos]

Altos's existence perfectly matched Ding Xiuqi's definition of an idol.

Mysterious: Activating Arrogance so others couldn't observe his specific appearance.

Powerful: Possessing a Demon Card, slaying Gods, even stopping the End.

Saving people from peril: Happened to save him twice.

And the most important thing for Ding Xiuqi.

Cool!

Just not long before, during the moment Suoluo City experienced the End.

He personally witnessed that instant when Altos rode a dragon against the wind and shattered the End.

Ding Xiuqi had also fantasized about making a name for himself in this Wasteland, but he had a very clear understanding of himself.

A Level 9 station was probably his endpoint; for the Level 10 Station Worlds above that, he didn't have the heart to struggle that much.

He hadn't stopped moving forward, just... he wasn't very confident.

"Oh right, look, this is a Wanted Poster I managed to snatch right before entering this world!"

On paper made from top-grade Leviathan skin, a certain unknown, skilled artist had created a dynamic, three-dimensional illustration blending reality and illusion of Ye Qiyan's back as he faced the End, using the Ring of the Hunt to defeat [Wind].

Though it was just a back view, this artist seemed to have studied Ye Qiyan quite a bit.

All the powers Ye Qiyan had displayed externally as Altos.

Whether it was The Hunt and the other Mechanical Army forces, or demons like Red Tears, the flipping Book of Reality and Illusion, the Ring of Evil, the Tianliang Moon Veil sheathed in the Armament Space with only its hilt visible, and the Black Ebony held in his hand.

This Wanted Poster wasn't realistic; it had undergone significant artistic processing, but... this was indeed how outsiders saw the Emperor's Order's Demon Mech-Dragon Man, Altos.

The person who drew this Wanted Poster absolutely possessed a very high-level drawing-type Module.

"T-t-two big bros, y-you, you guys should maybe chat somewhere else!"

The mouse-girl hid behind Ding Xiuqi, pointing at the surrounding, human-piloted Mechanical Army forces that had encircled them, both in the sky and on the ground.

"People ahead, listen up! You are surrounded! Drop your weapons! Surrender immediately!"

Someone was shouting like that.

Clearly, what happened at the Strange Society headquarters was already known to them.

Half of Eve's weapon slots completed their rotation.

Red targeting circles appeared at the feet of these people.

With just one command from Ye Qiyan, the half-updated weapon slots would open fire directly.

Ding Xiuqi wasn't afraid; he was, after all, a Level 41 Train Conductor.

The reason he fled in such a disheveled and panicked manner earlier was only because the sudden attack launched by the Ingenuity God's Apostle right after his Train entered this world caught him off guard.

If it came to a real, head-on fight, he wouldn't be afraid at all.

Twelve years of accumulation day by day, as a Train Conductor who had never stagnated, the abilities and items he possessed were certainly not few.

"That, Lord Altos, how about you leave this side to me, you go about your business, ah, don't worry, once I find my Train, I'll pay to evacuate immediately! I won't delay your station conquest at all, it's just, hehe... could we, add each other as friends?"

Ding Xiuqi, this person, was okay.

At the very least, Ye Qiyan, who had been silently using Bewitchment the whole time, didn't sense any malice or intent to lie from this young man towards him.

The Light Screen was summoned; Ding Xiuqi's friend request had already been sent over.

Ye Qiyan changed the name displayed to him to Altos and chose to accept.

The moment he saw the friend request go through, an even stronger excitement and joy immediately appeared on Ding Xiuqi's face.

"Haha, now I can show off to everyone in the guild for a while! Woo-hoo!"

"Your Train is over there."

Ye Qiyan's finger pointed towards the Underground Parking Lot he had initially headed towards.

"As for this Wanted Poster, consider it payment for giving you directions. After all, Train Conductors can't just give things to each other freely."

He narrowed his eyes, and without waiting for Ding Xiuqi's reply, stored this cool Wanted Poster into his Storage Unit.

Although Ding Xiuqi felt a bit of a pang, he nodded in strong agreement. The other party had pointed out the direction of his Train; he had only paid with a mere Wanted Poster whose value had been hyped up to 50 Train Coins on the black market.

This transaction was very worthwhile.

"Thank you for the guidance, Lord Altos. I wish you eternal progress forward!"

The smile faded as Ye Qiyan looked directly at Ding Xiuqi.

"Thanks."

Completely ignoring the surrounding encirclement.

Eve charged into the sky first.

Shooting down several flying craft, she cleared out a clean patch of Sky Domain.

Ye Qiyan had absolutely no intention of dealing with these guys.

Because not long before, he and Eve had found the Strange Society's weapon storage room.

There, they did indeed obtain quite a few Level 5 to Level 7 firearms, barely filling Eve's seventy-two weapon slots.

However, the [Strange Society Ultimate Weapons] displayed on the Tablet Computer were not in that storage room.

They were preserved underground in the city government building of Bosi City.

Only after Lisette completely infiltrated and cracked the Strange Society's information terminal did Ye Qiyan learn this.

So it turned out, even though on the surface the Strange Society was indeed the strongest human organization on Nek Star.

The real power holders.

Were this seemingly decorative government council.

A cunning rabbit has three burrows.

This was precisely the case.

And what they were guarding against by doing this was exactly what Klik had discovered—those special Strange Species that resembled humans.

That kind of existence wasn't just one.

The high-level members of the Strange Society had known about their existence many years ago but chose to conceal it.

Concealing it from the general public was normal enough.

But the frustrating thing was, even the Strange Society Members stationed in the border areas were completely unaware of this.

Klik, and all the sacrifices made by his research institute, were utterly worthless. Everything was just a transaction between the high-level government officials of Bosi City and those special Strange Species.
