Train Survival: I Can Evolve Everything!
Chapter 578: Zhu Xingshu, UnknownWell then, is this Mission: Impossible within Mission: Impossible?
He has Zhong Mojing as a mole inside Abukado, and now Abukado has Laine, a guy selling intelligence.
In a way, it's kind of hilarious.
"I understand, thanks for the intel."
"No no no, you don't have to be polite, as long as you can repay some of the karma I owe you. May I ask, how much do I still owe?"
"Take a guess."
"...Sorry, I spoke out of turn. I'll keep providing you with Abukado's intelligence."
Smart people are smart; you don't need to tell them much. Their mind fills in the most reasonable scenarios by itself.
But Laine betrayed the Emperor's Order?
Ye Qiyan felt like Zhu Xingshu must have known about this a long time ago.
"Laine, huh. That guy wouldn't have been affected by Zhao Lin's Luck Conservation and gone a little dim, would he..."
Laine, collector of the Game Cards.
And now, some Game Cards have already found new owners.
Zhao Lin.
This girl with the Luck Conservation talent seemed more favored by the Game Cards.
Card sequences work like this.
As long as you haven't fully mastered them, these greedy things will always try to find a master that suits them better.
Laine suffered a crushing defeat.
And the one who handed him that defeat was beaten by Zhao Lin.
One rises, another falls.
The Game Cards had probably grown disappointed with Laine.
But...this was odd.
Ye Qiyan had once guessed that members inside the Emperor's Order should be people who could fully control their own card sequences.
Those controlled by their sequences wouldn't be invited by Zhu Xingshu.
So what does Laine's current situation mean?
If he truly could fully master his card sequence, even with Zhao Lin's outrageous luck, he shouldn't have fallen this far.
No.
Ye Qiyan shook his head.
He had reversed cause and effect.
Laine became like this because of his own choices; he lost the Game Cards because he voluntarily entered low-level Station Worlds.
After encountering Mo Shi, he wanted to use a Death game to slaughter Mo Shi like other low-level Train Conductors.
But he didn't expect to hit a brick wall.
Using a Death game against Death — if he had known Mo Shi's true identity, he surely would not have done such a ridiculous thing.
If it had been a normal game,
Mo Shi would not have killed him.
You can tell that from the fact Laine was able to resurrect.
She genuinely enjoyed being a Train Conductor, and seemed sincere in clearing every Station World.
Revealing intel to Abukado afterward was simply his own choice.
Could Laine not have imagined Zhu Xingshu might find out?
Hmm...
He might have suspected, but that didn't matter.
Laine wanted to repair himself and reclaim his card sequence.
Ye Qiyan had met Laine once; the guy left a bad impression, the kind of smiling-tiger type.
Because of that Trial Administrator Experience Voucher incident, he probably held a grudge against Zhu Xingshu and would be even less likely to seek her help.
So.
Since his resurrection, everything had been Laine's own decision.
He was probably leaving the Emperor's Order.
"Tsk tsk, interesting. This actually happened. Lisette, do you think that guy might get screwed over by Zhu Xingshu?"
Sitting beside him, Lisette, now wearing a bathrobe, blinked and said gently,
"Master, whoever you want dead, let them be dead."
"Can't do that, we're civilized people, we can't just go around killing."
"Uh...no problem, Master. As for being civilized, I'm not human, so I can kill people."
Eve, also in a bathrobe on the other side, leaned in and turned her rabbit ears into a chibi skull expression pierced by an arrow.
Her meaning matched Lisette's.
"Well...never mind. I know enough. It still feels odd not to ask more."
Ye Qiyan yawned, brought up a light screen, and sent a message straight to Zhu Xingshu's private chat.
To be precise, only two characters.
"Laine?"
————
Miranda City, main city.
Magic Bureau, District C branch.
Zhu Xingshu was sitting on the sofa with a cup of hot tea, smiling.
In front of her, Menrojina wore glasses and a faint purple translucent veil across her face.
She heard the system's notification sound.
Seeing the message came from Ye Qiyan, her smile brightened even more.
However, she seemed a little puzzled by those two words Ye Qiyan had sent.
"Laine? That guy is still alive, right? Gina, do you know what happened?"
Menrojina glanced at her, coldly took a stack of documents from the trembling female branch director kneeling nearby, and kept reading.
Zhu Xingshu didn't mind; she sent Ye Qiyan a playful hammer-tongue-winking chibi sticker modeled after herself.
"Hehe~ Brother Ye brings up Laine all of a sudden. He's been very busy lately, he won't be joining our operation."
"Speak properly. Don't tell me you know nothing. I don't believe it."
"Huh?"
"?"
A rare look of bafflement flashed across Zhu Xingshu's eyes.
She took out the Astrolabe, summoned the Fate Card, and then used her own talent to listen, but regarding Laine the result was...nothing.
And that was the abnormal part.
Zhu Xingshu's smile vanished.
"Brother Ye, I really don't know what you're talking about. I swear, if I'm lying to you this time, I will never get back my last Fate Card!"
"?"
She truly didn't know?
That made sense.
After all, Fate didn't know everything.
Ye Qiyan thought for a moment, a faint smile at the corner of his mouth.
Although he didn't know why, he felt more at ease with Zhu Xingshu acting like this.
"200 Train Coins, sell me the intel."
"Aww~ That's too expensive~"
"300."
"Deal!"
To stop Ye Qiyan from continuing to raise the price, Zhu Xingshu didn't hesitate to trade four hundred Train Coins.
At the same time, she received the intelligence Ye Qiyan had accidentally gotten through Zhong Mojing.
When the chat ended, Zhu Xingshu read the intelligence, and instead of displeasure, excitement filled her expression.
"Gina Gina~! Laine told Abukado about our matters! That means this city will definitely have more interesting things happening~"
"Ah~ Even Fate was blinded by Abukado, or someone else? Heehee, I needed Brother Ye to remind me, otherwise it would've been a tiny bit troublesome~"
"Laine really is something else. He carelessly told his organization that a second collector of Game Cards appeared, and now he's so petty he wants to harm everyone. Sigh, how heartbreaking~"
Menrojina set the documents down, a chill flashing in her eyes.
Right now, she looked at Zhu Xingshu the way one looks at a psychiatric ward's most severe patient.
"Zhu Xingshu..."
"What's wrong, Gina? Do you also find this matter upsetting~"
"Be quiet!!"
