Drip...
The sound of water droplets falling on the mirror-like lake echoed through the air.
Ye Qiyan stood before the transparent door, staring at the device within as his eyes narrowed slightly.
He reached out and touched the door. His fingertips seemed to make contact with a calm water curtain, ripples spreading outward in rings.
"So, what exactly is this thing?"
Silence...
No answer appeared on the Light Screen.
"Not planning to say anything, huh? Guess I'll have to wait and identify it myself?"
Ye Qiyan smiled faintly.
[Please Enter the Key]
[Key: 1-4, Please Select Input]
Two simple lines of text meant that opening this door required having the key, and it seemed there was more than one.
"Now that's a familiar feeling."
He shook his head, a glint of amusement flickering in his eyes.
"I don't have the key."
[No Key, Cannot Open]
The light screen vanished, as if rejecting Ye Qiyan, this outsider.
"But then again~"
A dark gold Card Sequence appeared in his hand.
[Blasphemy Card·Anchor]
The Anchor Point on it gleamed brilliantly.
The Faceless Person on the card raised its ship anchor.
Even though there was no sound, within this strange space, it was as if the roar of anchor and chain echoed through the air.
Dark gold light swirled around Ye Qiyan.
This world called [Trans-Space] seemed to feel the overwhelming power of this being called the [Anchor].
Space trembled.
The mirror-like water surface also showed many ripples.
Ye Qiyan smiled.
It was a joyful smile.
The Anchor was held between his right index and middle fingers.
"Who says you can't enter a door just because you don't have a key?"
If there was any obstacle in front of him that he absolutely couldn't break through.
Then he'd use the Anchor~
His very first Blasphemy Card, Ye Qiyan's ultimate trump card!
Whether it was a sealed world, or the so-called absolute seal!
None of it mattered.
As long as the Anchor was in his hands.
Nothing could stop him from moving forward.
So then...
Let's begin now~
It was time for anchoring!
[Boom!]
Boom!!
In Ye Qiyan's hand, fragments of dark gold light drifted outward from the [Anchor].
He raised his hand, pointing the [Anchor] directly forward!
[Blasphemy Card·VII·Anchor]
[Drop Anchor!]
First ability activated!
An invisible, colorless, intangible Anchor Point fixed itself right inside that door as the Faceless Person slammed down its raised anchor!
Trembling!!!
Wild trembling!
The door seemed to know what was about to happen, as if it could feel its own existence was about to become meaningless!
But could it stop it?
It couldn't be stopped.
No one could stop the Anchor from falling.
Whether False God, True God, Train Conductor, the System, or even the Wasteland...
Because this was a Blasphemy Card.
Uniquely Ye Qiyan's, one-of-a-kind, Blasphemy Card.
The anchor had fallen.
So then~
Time to set sail.
Lisette and the other mechanical lifeforms returned to the train.
The demons also returned to their Card Sequence.
The train once again entered the Matrix.
In this vast space, now only Ye Qiyan remained.
"Let me see what exactly this thing is that so many people have their eyes on."
[Sail!!]
Second ability activated!
Ye Qiyan's spirit merged into the Anchor.
He leaned back.
Tilting toward the mirror-like water surface behind him.
Splash!
That familiar, warm, bottomless abyss-like sea of drowning enveloped Ye Qiyan.
[Drowning...]
That familiar voice, the listening, the praising, the silent whispers sang softly in his ear.
Glub glub glub~
His vision gradually darkened.
The light above faded farther away.
Deeper and deeper, darker and darker, warmer and warmer~
Until he opened his eyes and slowly rose to his feet.
"Whoosh~"
Taking a deep breath, he looked behind him.
That transparent door that had just blocked him.
Now, it could no longer stand in his way.
Ye Qiyan arrived at the center of the space beyond the door.
In truth, this world only contained this one thing.
An elliptical, pure white, special device.
He reached out and gently touched it.
The System's identification light screen appeared at the same moment.
[Trans-Space·Storage Device (Level 12)]
[A space with 800 slots of infinite storage capacity, portable, and cannot be stolen or lost once bound.]
[Contains a special intelligence called [Miatira]. Upon activating this device, Miatira will attach to the [Train Conductor's] train.]
[Miatira (?? Level)]
[Note: This is a name.]
[Note 2: The name of the [Train System].]
[Note 3: Even this name is not complete...]
[Note 4: Can I have it?]
These four consecutive notes made it clear that this thing stored inside the high-level storage device seemed extremely important to the train system.
A true name, huh...
So, the train system that had protected all Train Conductors also had a name of its own.
"Miatira, huh? Makes sense. Even a casually created AI software should have a name, let alone you... So, why was this thing left here? Don't tell me it's a permissions issue and you can't disclose it. If you don't tell me, I won't take it either."
["Once, there was a civilization that used all its power to purchase my name. That civilization has since been destroyed, and the [Trans-Space] that held the name changed hands countless times over who knows how many years."]
["Miatira was once obtained by the GT World. They acquired two of the four keys and handed them over to a Train Conductor named [Joel] before their civilization's [End]."]
["Train Conductor Joel placed [Trans-Space] here and kept searching for the other two keys."]
[Current progress: 2/4]
[The remaining two keys have also been found by human Train Conductors in this era.]
[And they are in this very city.]
["Trans-Space was never meant to be opened by you..."]
"An entire civilization? Buying your name? So what's the use of this name?"
["The true name of the train system can be used to research and analyze the Wasteland. But in the end, that civilization was destroyed without obtaining any substantial research results."]
"What was that civilization called?"
["The Golden Tribe."]
Ye Qiyan's eyes sharpened slightly.
The Golden Tribe, huh...
Now that was a very familiar name.
"Alright~ I've found out about as much as I wanted. In that case... hehe, System, now that I'm standing right in front of your name, if I open this device, you'll get your name back, right?"
"And then I'll get a reward?"
["Yes."]
A perfect arc curled up at the corner of Ye Qiyan's mouth~
"Then let those people outside keep collecting their keys slowly. I'm taking this reward."
The device—
Opened—!
