Abandon or kill?

How many years had this Suoluo City existed? How many children like this had been discarded?

Ye Qiyan didn't ask, nor did he meddle in others' affairs.

But before he could enter the restaurant.

A group of men and women in uniforms suddenly appeared on the street.

They carried firearms and were searching for something on the streets.

Two of them ran directly toward his direction.

"Halt!"

The man among the two called out to Ye Qiyan.

It wasn't surprising that they knew his Train Conductor number and name, as registration was naturally required after entering the city. Since they could find him, Ye Qiyan saw no reason to deny it.

"That's me. What's the matter?"

"We are Inspectors of Suoluo City. According to intelligence, a terrorist organization will attack Suoluo City. They will arrive here in batches over the next few days. You... just shed your newcomer status in this batch, right? Probably has nothing to do with you, but routine procedure - please come with us to the train docking point to check your personal information and confirm you haven't joined that terrorist organization."

They want to check people?

Ye Qiyan frowned.

"What if I refuse?"

His personal information contained many secrets he didn't want others to see, and besides, what gave them the right?

Routine procedure?

He knew nothing about such procedures.

Even if he did, he wouldn't agree.

The male Inspector who spoke also frowned, raising his chin arrogantly, the electric baton in his hand crackling with lightning.

"Friend, don't say I didn't warn you. You're just a rookie Train Conductor. You need to show respect to your seniors. For a newcomer, even if we arrest and interrogate you harshly, it's nothing serious. Come with us while you can still walk, otherwise, heh."

"Last chance. Coming or not?"

Seniors? Respect?

Playing the seniority game in this world? Isn't that a bit too foolish?

Seniority shouldn't be determined by which batch you arrived in this world, but by capability.

"Looks like I won't be having that meal today. Sorry, but I don't want anyone seeing my information. No one."

"Looking for death!"

The baton swung down but hit empty air.

The Lightning Wolf Leather Boots crackled with electricity.

A single kick sent the burly man flying backward.

The other Inspector saw this and raised his electric baton to strike.

"Damn it, you dare attack us! Ah!"

Too slow.

With the enhancement from the Lightning Wolf Leather Boots, Ye Qiyan's speed was beyond what they could match.

These so-called senior Inspectors probably never exceeded Level 4 train rank before settling in the city.

So their physical strength or mental capabilities had likely never been enhanced.

In other words, apart from their equipment, these guys were no different from ordinary people.

Such individuals made up the vast majority among Train Conductors.

The commotion here attracted the attention of other Inspectors.

A whistle blew, its sharp, piercing sound echoing through the air.

Ye Qiyan sighed inwardly with frustration.

Casually tossing a hundred Suoluo City bill to the terrified Swiftfoot, he immediately accelerated and ran toward areas with more people.

He had decided to find a safe place and use the Anchor to return directly to the departing train.

As for the help Zhu Xingshu mentioned? Didn't she say just entering the station was enough? Then the help was already complete. He could ask that charlatan woman for the card after departing.

Even so.

Ye Qiyan wasn't familiar with this city and almost got caught several times.

Fortunately, the quality of these Inspectors was utterly terrible - he could easily handle them without even using his gun.

But where should he run?

Ye Qiyan spotted an alley corner.

Just as he ducked in and prepared to use the Blasphemy Card.

A small pair of hands suddenly reached out from the shadows and grabbed at his clothes.

"Who's there?"

The barrel of Black Ebony aimed at the shadows.

A timid, trembling voice spoke:

"Don't, don't shoot..."

From the shadows, the blue-skinned, pointy-eared begging child he had seen earlier crouched curled up, pointing toward a door to the side.

"You want me to go in here?"

It nodded.

"No, won't be discovered."

After brief consideration, hearing the approaching footsteps outside, Ye Qiyan temporarily abandoned the idea of using the Blasphemy Card.

After all, there was someone else here, unless he killed this child right now.

But... forget it.

Leaving in disgrace less than an hour after arriving in this city would be somewhat embarrassing, wouldn't it?

Might as well treat it as a new platform adventure.

Following the child through that door, twisting and turning through passages, they arrived in another district.

"Go this way."

The child pointed in another direction.

Following behind it for a long time, they seemed to descend dozens of meters from the original location.

The originally fresh air gradually became somewhat unpleasant.

"Arrived."

The child released its grip on Ye Qiyan's pant leg and said timidly:

"Here, here, nobody comes, because everyone, hates us."

"..."

Compared to the prosperity of other parts of Suoluo City, this place resembled ruins.

And beneath these dilapidated structures were blue-skinned, double-pointy-eared beings called "monsters"?

"Don't, don't be scared, big brother. We're not monsters, really not..."

Ye Qiyan looked at it and reached out to pat the child's head.

"I know you're not monsters. Here, have this to eat."

He pulled two fruit candies from his pocket and handed them to the child.

The child took the candy but didn't eat it. Even though its eyes were filled with desire, within that desire was also some fear.

"What's wrong? If you want to save it for family, I have more."

The child shook its head, biting its lip, and whispered:

"Big sister was poisoned by candy given by adults from above some time ago..."

"......"

He seemed to have underestimated this city's malice toward them.

Really, is it necessary?

Ye Qiyan didn't say anything.

Following the child through this village composed of broken walls and ruins.

All around, similar blue-skinned, pointy-eared people continuously watched him from the ruins.

Their gazes contained disgust, envy, but most of all, fear.

"Arrived."

They stopped before a relatively intact building.

Looking up, the building bore a familiar mark.

Faceless Saint.

This was exactly what appeared on the Imperial Sequence Organization's invitation card.

"..."

A thought suddenly occurred to him.

Could his experiences throughout this half day have been arranged by that charlatan woman?

If true, that would be... rather irritating.

Gripping Black Ebony and Sky Eagle in his hands.

Bullets chambered, Ye Qiyan pushed the door open and entered.

Inside the building, a woman with ordinary human skin and ears, wearing a mask and sitting on a chair while gently tapping a wooden fish, stopped her movements.

The woman opened her eyes. The face beneath the mask made her expression unreadable.

She stood up and made an inviting gesture, speaking to the wary Ye Qiyan standing at the door:
