Mo Shi seemed extremely happy to see Ye Qiyan.
She wiggled her fingers in the air.
The black sphere sealing the Game Card disintegrated, revealing the highly unstable card body within.
"Don't worry, I'm very weak right now, hmm, as weak as an ordinary human. This current body was modeled after a human who once entered the Death Realm. And you're male, human males all like females, right? How is it, not bad?"
"Ah, never mind that, let's play a game. I got this from another senior, you know. Although it can only be used once, so Ye Qiyan~ let's play a game. If you win, I'll give you a gift I prepared long ago. If you lose~ you give me one hundred Train Coins~ how about it?"
After its owner's death, a Card Sequence will return to a random Station World.
The Game Card is no exception.
Yet Mo Shi was able to forcibly bind it through some kind of power.
Through the Anchor, Ye Qiyan could clearly sense that the Game Card was constantly struggling, trying to break free from Mo Shi's control.
Zhao Lin stared fixedly at the Game Card, the desire in her eyes practically overflowing.
Clearly, she wanted it.
"That person you met at the last station, he probably didn't just use this one card, right?"
"Huh? Does Ye Qiyan know that person? Yes, we played five games in total. That senior wanted to use 【Death】 as the wager. I was so happy~ Although it's a pity he escaped in the end, well~ keeping this as a trophy is also quite nice."
She wasn't lying.
Because Ye Qiyan had always maintained the state of 【Defiance × Bewitchment】.
Unless she could achieve complete immunity to the power of Card Sequences, but in that case, Ye Qiyan would still know.
In other words, this creature... was really experiencing life as a human to become a Train Conductor? And she truly couldn't use all her power?
What a strange creature...
Just as strange as the first time he saw her.
"Playing is fine, but I won't be the one playing with you."
"Hmm? Then who?"
"Her."
Mo Shi tilted her head, curiously examining Zhao Lin, whose face was plastered with desire.
"Huh? Such a strange feeling... No, never mind, I don't know anything right now anyway. If Ye Qiyan doesn't want to play with me, then let her do it. Remember, if you lose, you owe me one hundred Train Coins."
The Game Card unfolded, and a game space named 【Roulette】 directly enveloped the three of them.
A silver six-shot revolver floated silently in the air.
Zhao Lin and Mo Shi stood on either side of the revolver as the rules of this Game Card manifested.
True to its name, one bullet, pulling the trigger six times.
Whoever gets hit, loses.
The card holder could modify the rules regarding the bullet and the revolver's cylinder capacity, even deciding which chamber to place the bullet in.
But Mo Shi didn't.
Her choice was the simplest, most basic, completely random.
One bullet entered the cylinder and disappeared.
The cylinder spun, and with a crisp click, it was loaded.
"Hmm~ then... let's begin~"
Mo Shi smiled and picked up the revolver, pressing it against her own temple and pulling the trigger.
The first shot produced no sound.
"Your turn, be careful, it hurts quite a bit..."
Before she could finish her sentence, Zhao Lin picked up the revolver and without hesitation, pulled the trigger four times in a row, aiming at herself.
"The rules didn't say you can't pull the trigger consecutively, right? The last one."
Zhao Lin took a deep breath, an inexplicable light flickering in her eyes.
An aura of good fortune swirled around her.
The revolver never left her hand.
"Let's end this directly."
The fifth pull, which was the final shot in this gun's cylinder, the one that must contain the bullet.
Click—
The trigger whispered~ the bullet... did not fire.
"?"
A look of astonishment appeared on Mo Shi's face.
"You... won~"
Why did this happen?
Clearly, it was the power of a Card Sequence, clearly, it was a revolver that should never jam.
Yet, precisely in Zhao Lin's hands today, on the shot that was destined to fire, it failed to discharge.
Mo Shi looked at the Game Card in confusion, suddenly understanding something.
"Is it because my power polluted its origin, causing it to resist being used, so it couldn't fire?"
Thinking of this, Mo Shi wasn't displeased, wasn't angry, but instead... burst into hearty laughter.
"Humans, so interesting! Even luck has sided with you? Becoming a Train Conductor was indeed the right choice! Hey, Ye Qiyan! I like you all! More and more!"
Mo Shi's body trembled incessantly, a tremor of excitement, happiness, and delight.
She lost, when was the last time she lost?
Mo Shi didn't know, Death didn't remember.
But now, she lost~
Yet she loved failure~
Being able to fail means everything hasn't ended! Everything still has the possibility to change!
Mo Shi laughed heartily, the cross-shaped starlight in her eyes growing darker and more dazzling, the expression on her face becoming increasingly exaggerated and joyful.
Her body flickered between human and shadowy figure.
The System's Light Screen appeared.
A dark aura swirled around her.
The System's voice rang out at this moment.
【Death Protocol Triggering—】
【Will you, terminate the protocol?】
Although the System was speaking to Mo Shi, the voice came from the broadcast of Ye Qiyan's Train parked near the cafe.
"Of course I can't terminate it~ I'm going to become the most powerful Train Conductor~"
Mo Shi smiled and raised her hand, plunging it directly into her own chest.
Blood stained her palm as she pulled out a black crystal from within, clenched it in her hand, and then crushed it instantly.
【!!!】
【Elated? Confused?! Cannot return!?】
【Madness! Death?! Become human!?】
"Hehe~ Now, I'm completely human~"
【Mo Shi】
【Train Conductor ID: A-0-0】
【Race: Death (Dormant) / Human】
Her information was displayed by the System without any concealment.
The shadowy figures swirling around her vanished at this moment. The part representing 【Death】 was stripped away by her and discarded back to the Death Realm.
From now on, she would embark on the adventures of a Train Conductor with a purely human identity.
Using the last remaining trace of her power, she once again bound the Game Card that was trying to escape.
The cross-shaped black light in Mo Shi's eyes seemed about to overflow. She licked the corner of her lips, staring at Ye Qiyan as if looking at prey~ then chuckled and looked at Zhao Lin.
"You won, this is yours."
The silver-white Game Card flew into Zhao Lin's hand.
The moment it contacted Zhao Lin, the Card Sequence that originally wanted to escape stopped and ceased its disappearance upon sensing resonance with other Game Cards.
"What a special human. Luck? Hmm, no, not entirely luck. Hehe, Ye Qiyan, not just you, even the humans around you are interesting. But... compared to you, they are still too dim."
Mo Shi licked her lips, looking at Ye Qiyan as if gazing upon a treasure.
"When I become stronger than you, I'll take you into the Death Realm~ Of course, on the day I defeat you as a Train Conductor~ Hehe."
"Oh, then you'll probably be disappointed."
"Why?"
"Because you won't catch up to me."
Ye Qiyan confidently met Mo Shi's gaze.
Their eyes seemed to create dark sparks in the air.
After a long while, Mo Shi crossed her arms, an unnatural flush appearing on her face.
"Even when targeted by Death, you're not afraid at all. Hmm, as expected of the human I like~ Ye Qiyan, I really do like you! Then let's try it, see if in the end, I can catch up to you.
Ah, the others are about to wake up. The trial must continue, but I won't lose~ Because, you've never lost either, right~"
Ye Qiyan glanced at Fengfeng and the remaining two who were gradually awakening, finally shifting his gaze to Mo Shi.
He suddenly felt that the idea of having Red Tears act as the Final Boss for the trial didn't seem so bad after all.
