Train Survival: I Can Evolve Everything!

Chapter 549: The Bewitched Girl, Chloe

Address, what was it?

Train Conductor?

The moment he heard this address, Ye Qiyan wondered if he had entered a city created by a Train Conductor.

But obviously, this was not the case.

A steam train sped past on the track on his other side.

There were no traces of any special abilities on it; it was just an ordinary, common train.

This was quite peculiar.

At least for Ye Qiyan, the last time he saw a purely ordinary train was before he came to the Wasteland.

"Hey, didn't you hear? Hurry back."

"You, you need to go back quickly. If someone reports you to the Law-Teaching Society later, you'll be caught and thrown in jail."

Ye Qiyan looked the girl up and down. Perhaps his gaze carried a hint of interest, making the girl involuntarily lower her head, using the wide brim of her hat to completely cover her face.

From her few words, Ye Qiyan could easily analyze some information about this world.

Here, "Train Conductor" did not hold the special significance it did in the Wasteland and other Station Worlds; it truly was just someone who drove a train.

Also, the Law-Teaching Society—judging by its name, it sounded very much like a faith-based church with armed force.

And the power this golden-haired girl had just displayed... it didn't look simple at all.

"Is there something strange about me?"

The golden-haired girl whispered.

"And, please go back quickly. It really wouldn't be good if you got caught."

Ye Qiyan retracted his scrutinizing gaze.

【Demon Card · Bewitchment】 appeared in his hand, which he played with.

He wore a smile and spoke to the golden-haired girl in an extremely sunny and gentle tone:

"Sorry, sorry, I was just curious about your ability, miss. I come from somewhere else and don't really understand the rules of this city. As for the Law-Teaching Society, don't worry, they won't arrest me. I know people inside."

The first part was true, the follow-up was false.

But regardless of which sentence, this bewitching whisper always made people believe~

"This is just a very ordinary Light Chime ability, nothing special. But it's good to hear you won't be arrested. I spoke out of turn, sorry."

The girl blushed shyly, bowed to Ye Qiyan, then turned and was about to run off.

"Wait a moment. I still don't know your name, miss. If you have time, could this beautiful lady show me a place to stay?"

"Chloe, that's my name. My job is as an employee hired by the Law-Teaching Society. As for time..."

Chloe didn't know why she was saying so much. She should have just refused. But inexplicably, a voice in her heart told her she could believe what this man said and could tell him about herself.

Why was this?

Chloe didn't understand.

Could this be... love at first sight, like in the stories?

A faint blush once again colored Chloe's face.

"I still have some work. Soon, just after seeing off two more batches of passengers, I'll be off duty. You... will you wait?"

Ye Qiyan still wore that gentle smile.

"Of course."

Chloe was carried back to the other side by the light pattern. Ye Qiyan's smile gradually faded. He returned to the train and gazed thoughtfully through the train window at the people outside.

"Lisette, what do you think those things beside these people are?"

Lisette, who had brought coffee, followed his gaze.

Whoever it was, more or less, one or two non-human beings accompanied them.

For example, a small hound with long horns.

A living dandelion puffball.

A moving flower.

Even humanoid demon spirits, automatons, stone statues...

And on these creatures' bodies, there was a collar, large or small, engraved with mysterious runes.

"They are... pets? Enslaved magical beasts?"

Lisette said so.

"It does look like it. Then this world is quite impressive, able to let ordinary people possess enslaved magical beasts?"

Ye Qiyan once again focused his gaze on the golden-haired girl named Chloe.

Beside her, a white stone knight over two meters tall also had a collar around its neck.

"So, what are we supposed to do in this world?"

The train never stops somewhere without reason.

Chloe.

This golden-haired girl.

The beginning of exploring and conquering this world should probably start with her.

"Let's... make a little use of her."

Chloe had no idea she had already been labeled as 'easy to fool' by Ye Qiyan.

She diligently completed her work, seeing off the last batch of passengers onto the train.

She stared blankly at the still-parked, rather handsome white train.

"Come to think of it, I didn't really notice earlier... this train is so..."

"Is there something strange about my train?"

Ye Qiyan's voice came from behind the girl.

She turned around, looked at the black-haired young man who had appeared here at some unknown time, and shook her head.

"Not strange. I think your train is very beautiful, very different from other trains. Although I can't quite put my finger on exactly what's different. Oh, I still don't know your name."

"Ye Qiyan. As for work, just a destitute Train Conductor."

This was the truth, not bewitchment.

"How could that be? People who can become Train Conductors must be very rich. Besides, you even have such a... beautiful Performer following you."

Chloe looked behind Ye Qiyan at Lisette, dressed in black and white maid attire, wearing the collar he had forged with Artifice Command, smiling.

"Such a human-like Performer, and so good-looking too. How could a destitute person afford one?"

Indeed, no one believes the truth~

"That's precisely why I'm destitute."

"Hmm... So that's how it is..."

Chloe seemed to understand something.

"No wonder you said you had connections with the Law-Teaching Society earlier, your train is so special, plus you can buy such a high-end non-combat Performer... You... could you be a noble who fled an arranged marriage from another city!"

She pieced together this story based on the novels she had read.

But it was just a joke. After saying it, even Chloe herself shook her head.

"Just kidding. How could something like that possibly happen..."

"No, you're completely right."

【Bewitchment~】

"I am a noble who fled an arranged marriage from another city to here. Compared to the marriage partner chosen by my family, I prefer free love. What do you think, Miss Chloe?"

Facing Ye Qiyan's extremely "genuine" gentle face, Chloe's mouth opened slightly. One romantic story after another flashed through her mind.

Finally, the image of the protagonist from the books was completely superimposed onto this person named Ye Qiyan, the 【Noble Young Master Fleeing Marriage】, standing before her.

"Huh?"

The Demon's Whisper~ echoed in the girl's ear~

She, believed it.
