Train Survival: I Can Evolve Everything!

"Mr. Ye, Mr. Ye, something major has happened!"

The next day.

Chloe knocked on the door of the inn room where Ye Qiyan was staying.

Ye Qiyan, who had been awake for a long time, turned the handle, and the golden-haired girl anxiously walked in.

"Mr. Ye, leave the City of Bygone Days quickly! While the train can still depart from the station now. Any later, and the station platform will be sealed!"

"Leave the station? Go where? And, why should I leave?"

A smirk curled at the corner of Ye Qiyan's mouth. Of course, he knew what Chloe was talking about.

The Black Tide had arrived.

Beyond the borders of this state, in that boundless Black Sea.

All of this was firsthand information that Ye Qiyan had Eve film and send back. The state's governor probably didn't know as much as he did.

Just as Ye Qiyan knew, Chloe explained about the Black Sea's rising tide and the Performers initiating the war.

This matter hadn't been told to the ordinary populace yet. She knew about it because, as an external contracted employee of the Law-Teaching Society, she was about to be dispatched to a fortress that hadn't yet become a frontline to hold the line and delay the Performer army.

Retreat was forbidden until reinforcements from the main army of the Nation of Odd Laws arrived.

Or, to put it in more straightforward, more brutal terms.

They were using Chloe, other ability users, and the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers from the entire state to buy time, slowing down the speed at which the Performer army reached the City of Bygone Days.

It was indeed brutal, but it was also an effective method.

As long as the nation's main forces arrived to provide support, their sacrifice would be meaningful.

If they only tried to preserve a portion of lives, it would only cause greater casualties.

"Aren't you leaving?"

Chloe bit her lip, her face's tense expression clearly showing her unease.

But she still shook her head.

"No, I'm a member of the Law-Teaching Society. Even though I'm just an external hire and haven't passed the written exam yet, the Law-Teaching Society exists to protect humanity. I... I'm a Resonance ability user who can resonate with elements. I've enjoyed the preferential treatment people give to someone like me who should have been treated as a freak. So, at a time like this, of course I cannot leave."

There wasn't a hint of a lie in Chloe's words.

Everything came from her genuine inner thoughts.

Ye Qiyan pulled out his left hand, which had been resting in his coat pocket all along.

The Bewitchment card returned to the Void Card Repository.

There was no need to use it on her anyway.

"Then I'm not leaving either."

"Huh? Why?"

"Why not? Am I supposed to let a little girl a head and a half shorter than me protect me? Don't worry, I'm actually pretty strong."

Chloe stood on her tiptoes, looking at Ye Qiyan's confident smile, and the expression on her face finally improved a bit.

"I'm not joking with you. The coming period is truly dangerous. Whether it's the City of Bygone Days or this entire border state, according to the Law-Teaching Society's assessment, this Black Sea tide rise is more intense than any of the previous six wars."

"Humans and Performers have been at peace for a hundred years. We have no idea what kind of power they've accumulated. Moreover, the Law-Teaching Society has detected many strange powers that have never appeared before. Because of those strange powers, even several Clerics of the Law-Teaching Society have died."

"Mr. Ye, you're a good person. You even have such a beautiful humanoid Performer maid by your side. There's no need to waste your life here. Go start your train. Take her and leave the City of Bygone Days for the Imperial Capital. That place will not fall."

"If, I mean if, you get there, you can go to this address. My older sister is in the Imperial Capital. Please tell her for me that I miss her very much."

Chloe was a good person.

She truly regarded Ye Qiyan as an ordinary person.

And that's precisely what made it even more precious.

Ye Qiyan raised his hand and placed it on top of Chloe's white wide-brimmed hat, taking the envelope she had handed over and putting it back into her hand.

"You should say those words yourself. An outsider like me doesn't want to get involved in family matters. Alright, Miss Chloe, I'll take good care of myself."

"..."

Chloe took back the envelope.

She didn't say anything more.

Persuasion was meaningless now.

All she could do was hold that fortress to the death, delaying the Performers' advance until her Resonance power was completely exhausted.

Even though she knew full well that accepting this mission meant only one outcome: death.

Chloe left. She and over a dozen other Elemental Resonators headed for the fortress called the Stone Bastion, awaiting the arrival of the Performer army.

Before departing, she still urged Ye Qiyan to leave as soon as possible and not to gamble with his life.

Chloe was a good person.

————

Inside the train station.

The location where Ye Qiyan had arrived after entering this Station World.

At this moment, it was completely empty.

Ye Qiyan's pure white Train had been parked here from the very beginning, appearing so different from everything around it.

"Lisette, how many monsters do you think we can hold off?"

He asked this.

"All of them."

She answered this.

"I like that answer."

Ye Qiyan lightly touched the Train.

He stored it away into the Matrix.

Summoning his motorcycle, Ye Qiyan swung his leg over it. The Road Tyrant, which had fused with the white bear, twisted its front wheel.

He settled onto it.

Lisette sat sideways behind him.

Her slender, pale hands gently grasped his clothes.

As the motorcycle roared to life, Ye Qiyan sped directly out of this City of Bygone Days.

He was going to directly intervene in this war.

To make the true trial of the 【Abyss】 appear sooner.

Icy flames erupted from the exhaust pipes.

Sharp, frost-covered wheels churned up the icy road beneath them.

Following the direction Eve indicated, Ye Qiyan was heading into the battlefield.

———

"Joachim, you're sure there's no problem with that human Train Conductor, right?"

A massive Dragon Beast circled near a mass of black liquid, speaking in a deep voice to the golden-haired, masked man below.

"This time, I don't want any surprises. We have received help from a Great Existence. He has granted us the possibility to ascend further. He has brought us a true ally."

"Joachim, in this battle, we will not lose. If that human betrays us, our ally is more than capable of erasing him from this world forever."

As soon as the Dragon Beast's words fell.

From within the liquid, two figures leaped down, each accompanied by an entity bearing some resemblance to them.

They were not human.

【God Serial Number — C-61 — Plague Rat (Abyss Gaze)】

【God Serial Number — C-82 — Kamaitachi (Abyss Gaze)】

They were Gods.

They were lured to this world by the 【Abyss】 with promises of benefit, to serve as...

【A Link in the Trial】 uniquely belonging to Ye Qiyan.
