Train Survival: I Can Evolve Everything!

“Don’t mention it. It was just a transaction. Although, you do look like you’re about to die.”

Ye Qiyan silently put the more than two thousand Train Coins into his Storage Space. He watched Fang Cheng, who looked even more insubstantial than before, and the corner of his mouth twitched as he asked,

“Do you want to live?”

That answer should always be the same.

He expected the same this time.

But...

“No.”

Fang Cheng shook his head.

“I’m tired. Even if I survive, it won’t mean anything. The curse will stay with me, my power has dwindled terribly. Even if I live on, it will only be a miserable prolonging of life, no meaning.”

Ye Qiyan shrugged and didn’t press the matter.

He had only asked because the man had been generous with his payment, a casual question. If this man truly had no desire to live even at the deepest instinctual level,

then there was no need to continue asking.

“However...”

Fang Cheng’s voice paused, as if reminiscing about something.

“Friend, could you do me a favor?”

“Say it.”

“If there are any cities left now... could you help me find my old organization? Even after so many years in the wasteland they should still be famous. After all... they were a bunch of fools who stuck to their beliefs and didn’t fit in the wasteland...”

Ye Qiyan frowned slightly.

He suddenly felt that the organization name Fang Cheng was about to say should be familiar to him...

“Heavenly Organization. It was founded by my good friend, and I was one of its members.

I haven’t contacted them for years. I’m terribly sorry. Please, find them for me. Tell them Fang Cheng is dead... have them set up a monument for me in the organization’s stronghold world, bury me properly...”

“I can’t do that favor.”

Ye Qiyan interrupted Fang Cheng.

“...I still have some items. Once I unbind them I could...”

“The Heavenly Organization has already vanished.”

Ye Qiyan said the fact with utter indifference.

The moment Fang Cheng heard those words,

his momentum surged.

The sun that had been slowly dimming suddenly burst into brilliant sparks at that very instant.

“W-what did you say?”

He believed Ye Qiyan completely.

Whether it was because of bewitchment, or because Ye Qiyan showed no hint of falsehood when saying it.

“How could this be? That’s impossible! The Heavenly Organization was strong! Their leaders were strong! Why would they disappear? They just... disappear...”

“Let me be more precise. The Heavenly Organization collapsed many, many years ago. That is the correct answer.”

Fang Cheng slumped onto his throne.

He kept muttering.

“Who? Who did this... No wonder, no wonder...”

He brought up his system light screen.

His hands trembled as he opened his Friends List.

He stared at the names, each one grayed out.

A proud man of full stature was now openly sobbing.

“So that’s it... No wonder their names suddenly turned gray back then. I thought it was because the passage of time and the Curse-Sacrifice God had messed with the system’s permissions and capabilities.

Who did it! Who is responsible! Damn it, damn it!!!”

He suffered, he despaired, he raged...

He was unwilling to accept it.

He was pained by the Heavenly Organization’s annihilation, despairing at his inability to avenge them, furious at his own impotence.

Unwilling... that he was about to die.

He wanted to live.

But... he couldn’t.

Tears and blood flowed from his eyes.

He had endured the Curse-Rite God’s torment for a thousand years without ever speaking a word of surrender, never shedding tears of despair for that. But now it was different.

He could not accept that his friends had been slaughtered while he was powerless to do anything.

Because...

he was going to die.

Suddenly, Fang Cheng’s mind flashed back to the question Ye Qiyan had just asked.

He looked toward that calm young man.

The youth at the center, whose radiance outshone even the sun...

“Can you tell me who did it?”

“Who knows? After all, I’m not familiar with them.”

“...”

Thud—

Fang Cheng dropped to his knees before Ye Qiyan and prostrated himself flat on the ground.

“I want to live! I want to avenge them! Mr. Ye! I beg you! If you really have a way to let me survive! I will give anything! Even if you make me your slave, I don’t care!

Just let me avenge them!”

“Is this supposed to be a deal?”

“Of course! If you can save me, I will be your slave, I...”

“Stop. I’m not interested in other people, especially men.”

Ye Qiyan waved a hand.

“Train Coins, or items, plus—you owe me a life.”

“Agreed!”

A smile returned to Ye Qiyan’s face.

A pale radiance condensed in his hand.

[Demon Card · Salvation]

Hymn of the demon~

Pure malice~

A pale path lies before you.

The light of salvation eclipses the sun.

Fang Cheng reached out toward that brilliance, toward the holy skeletal demon in the light.

[Demon comes to save you~]

[Spirit: 500→82]

Spirit consumed.

Ability activated.

When Fang Cheng opened his eyes and felt his body suddenly becoming whole again, he was slightly stunned.

“What... what kind of power is this?”

“Don’t be dazed. The curse hasn’t gone away. I merely restored the damage you accumulated over a thousand-plus years. Go back to the wasteland and find your own way.”

Ye Qiyan of course possessed things that could solve the curse.

Like the lollipops Shaya had given him.

But it wasn’t necessary.

He had only promised Fang Cheng to keep him alive.

Given adequate time, unless the curse was the instantaneous-killing type, returning to the wasteland and entering a city would always present opportunities.

“Thank you! Mr. Ye! I owe you a life debt! No matter what happens in the future, if you call on me, I will never hesitate!”

A friend request appeared on the system light screen.

Ye Qiyan accepted the request.

Another capable senior was added to Ye Qiyan’s Friends List~

“There will be chances. Now then... congratulations, Senior Fang Cheng. You can return to the wasteland and look for those you wish to avenge.”

“Also...”

Ye Qiyan walked toward the outside, intending to go to the second level.

“By the way, the second level of this tower has something I want. That’s not part of this deal.”

Fang Cheng froze.

“Second level? Mr. Ye, there is indeed an unclaimed precious item there. This tower was built relying on that item, but without a Key it cannot be opened, because that place is sealed by a card-sequence barrier called [Calamity].”

Ye Qiyan paused, then let out a light laugh.

“Get some good rest, Senior Fang Cheng.”

He quickened his pace.

The Calamity card.

That was truly... a card-sequence type he hadn’t seen in a long time.

Ye Qiyan had thought he and the Calamity cards would have no further entanglement.

Fang Cheng opened his mouth as if to say more, but Ye Qiyan’s figure had already disappeared.

He closed his jaw and shook his head.

“Oh well... the key to that barrier should be with the leader... if it can’t be opened, when I find him... I’ll give it to him...”

“Whew...”

“It really has... been stuck here for many years... Can I set out now? Leader... who exactly are you...”
