Train Survival: I Can Evolve Everything!

People from Abukado?

Ye Qiyan's expression turned somewhat strange.

They wanted to challenge him after catching up to his level?

Hmm... It seemed his performance had been quite successful.

"Interesting. Draken, was it? I'll remember your name. Tell me, what's your train level?"

Upon hearing Ye Qiyan's response, a look of delighted surprise instantly appeared on Draken's face.

Without any hesitation, under Shanmo's speechless gaze, he blurted out his train level.

"Level thirty-five! My train level is only level thirty-five! I understand that someone like you must be at least level forty-five or higher! Please wait for me! Until the day I break through to become a Top-Tier Train Conductor!"

Draken thumped his own chest.

Abukado was a peculiar organization.

As an opposing force to the Emperor's Order, its internal members ranged from pure villains to good-hearted people like that Hero named Ain.

Well, that made sense...

Just like the Emperor's Order.

A Train Conductor joined a faction simply to gain more benefits.

Everything for strength, everything for progress.

Come to think of it, how many Train Conductors were actually good people?

Couldn't a villain be passionate and confident too?

Hmm... Though, if he had to name a good one...

There was one, right?

Like the Heavenly Organization he had once heard about, though it had already been destroyed long ago.

Several black light feathers appeared where Ye Qiyan had stood.

His figure vanished.

His voice emerged from above Draken's head.

[Sky-Plundering Wings]

Ye Qiyan looked down at Draken and the panda-man beside him, a playful smirk curling on his lips.

"Level thirty-five... It really isn't an unreachable level."

Though Draken sensed something odd in those words, he didn't dwell on it, taking it entirely as encouragement from this Senior.

"Senior, I—"

"I accept your challenge. But not now. Before that, though..."

Ye Qiyan slipped his hand into his pocket.

On the back of his hand, a black imprint of a smiling, tongue-lolling face slowly emerged.

[Defiance × Bewitchment]

"Answer one question for me~"

Draken's eyes instantly went vacant for a moment. Shanmo, beside him, seemed to realize what was happening and raised his hand to cover Draken's mouth.

But it was useless.

CRUNCH!

Draken's shark-like teeth uncontrollably clamped down on the panda-man's hand, tearing off a chunk of flesh.

"I... Huh? What is—"

"Shhh~"

Ye Qiyan raised a finger to his lips.

"Tell me, what exactly is Abukado's goal?"

The panda-man Shanmo's face drastically changed.

He knew he couldn't stop what was about to happen.

In fact, even he himself was uncontrollably wanting to speak.

Draken finally understood now.

The person before him possessed a Demon Card.

He didn't want to answer, but he had no choice.

"Miatira. Abukado's goal is Miatira. We're mercenaries hired by the Ancient Council to come here. In fact, there aren't just the two of us in this city..."

He shut his mouth, completely unable to resist this [Bewitchment].

["Miatira?"]

Ye Qiyan mused silently.

He had seen that name before.

There was even a suffix attached to it.

[Crossroads of Fate Second Option · Miatila·Ultra Void]

"Keep going."

Draken felt like crying but had no tears. He now regretted shouting those two lines earlier. Shouting had felt good, but he'd probably get scolded by the leader when he got back.

But there was no helping it—who was he facing if not the Emperor's Order's Demon?

A human who could dominate even demons—it was only natural that he couldn't resist right now.

["Someday, when I break through to level forty-five, I'll definitely catch up!"]

He thought to himself, while his mouth uncontrollably spilled out all the intel Ye Qiyan needed.

"We don't know the specifics. Miatira seems to be some special intelligent system. Its origin should be from some high-tech world that welcomed the End. The current City Lord has a good relationship with that world, and when it was destroyed, he received that gift. I don't know anything else. He knows more than I do."

"?"

The panda-man Shanmo, who had been silently staying nearby, wanted to curse in his heart.

If you were going to talk, fine! But why drag him into it too!?

Shanmo swallowed hard and nervously looked at Ye Qiyan. When he realized those eyes were already meeting his, a flicker of despair appeared in his heart.

"Sigh... Senior, let me speak."

Without waiting for Ye Qiyan to use Bewitchment to forcefully extract the answer, he opened his mouth and spilled everything he knew.

Shanmo chose to follow his gut.

"Actually, we don't know much. But supposedly, if you obtain Miatira, you can complete a hidden quest from the System. After completing it, you can apparently receive an unknown reward from the System. That's really all we know.

Oh, right... There's also this: a key related to Miatira is hidden inside one of the capsule tunnels in this city.

Our leader mentioned before we came that we could try searching for it. Maybe we could find it..."

Hidden quest, unknown reward...

Ye Qiyan's face still showed no other expression.

Because those words were strange.

If it was a hidden quest, how did they know about it?

Unless someone had completed it before.

But from what these two had said, it wasn't hard to deduce that Miatira seemed to be something unique.

He probably wouldn't get much more information about Miatira from these two. If he wanted to know more, he might have to find a breakthrough elsewhere.

For example... Menrojina.

The reason Ye Qiyan thought of Menrojina was simple.

Because she was the one who had developed the capsule tunnels.

Given that woman's style, it was impossible she hadn't left a backdoor or retained the ability to control them.

The previous cities had fully confirmed this.

Menrojina still had eleven chains on her. It was time to make use of them.

"Senior, that's everything we know. Could we maybe..."

Shanmo steeled himself and spoke with his head bowed.

Ye Qiyan swept his gaze over the two of them and let out a cold laugh.

"Answer one more question, and I'll let you go."

"Please ask, Senior!"

Shanmo grabbed Draken's head and forced it down too.

"What is your leader's talent?"

He had asked this question to other Abukado members before.

But every time, the answer was always the same.

"We don't know. We've never seen the leader use his talent..."
