Chapter 157: Train Mission Ends

"The most important decision? Then I have to be cautious, but I have a doubt... and you should tell me who you are first?"

Wen Xishu asked very frankly.

"I am the train conductor, the train conductor of the Chosen Train. You can call me Wei Ping'an."

Wei Ping'an actually had the temperament of a soldier. He wasn't young.

Wen Xishu said:

"Chosen Train... does it have a fixed route?"

Wei Ping'an said:

"You noticed?"

"Since every station has a supply point, I assume you are very familiar with these stations," Wen Xishu said.

Wei Ping'an said:

"The world of obsession is a very special world; here it is composed of the obsessions of countless people. The obsession of the train comes from a special department of ours."

"Our obsession is very strong, so we have an area... a special area."

"Very happy, everyone passed the long tests in front, experienced layers of carriages, and arrived here; next, please relax, because carriage sixteen is a carriage for our own people."

Wen Xishu and others were like being in a huge conference hall, and on both sides of the conference hall were two rows of houses.

Five rooms in a row.

Wen Xishu and others, having experienced the maze carriage, didn't care much about the fact that the area of the carriage suddenly became larger.

The world of obsession, everything that happens is reasonable.

Wen Xishu said:

"It seems you reserved ten positions, able to arrive here?"

Wei Ping'an said:

"Yes, if the contestants of each train are excellent enough..."

"Then it's not excluded that everyone will arrive here. But in fact, the scenario of all ten people arriving hasn't happened."

"The most excellent time, we had a total of five people who passed all the carriage tests and arrived here."

Ten people, each period? The train seems to have screened quite a few people who could pass all the carriages.

Wen Xishu also asked the key question:

"Arriving here, what does it mean?"

The train conductor smiled:

"Naturally, accept the choice and become a god."

This sentence surprised everyone.

Wang Yueyun frowned secretly. A god? Is this old man joking?

Wen Xishu was quite interested:

"What should we do?"

Logically speaking, walking out of carriage sixteen, one could return to the Bunker. But this old man actually said he wanted to create a god in carriage sixteen? Wen Xishu was curious, what must one do to become a god.

One must know, although this level was difficult to pass, nine deaths and one life, but in reality, people with a portion of Magic Resistance would easily get key hints when screening things.

Wen Xishu didn't think this kind of level could create a god, not to mention... so many people had already passed it.

"Everyone, there are four of you in total; next, please head to the room corresponding to you. How to become a god... for each of you, the conditions are different."

Train conductor Wei Ping'an said very piously:

"Before becoming a god, you will first become an apostle; once you become an apostle, you will immediately feel the changes in yourself."

"This can also be considered the last test, but don't worry, just follow your heart."

Wen Xishu nodded:

"Which room should we go to?"

"Rooms one, two, three, and four, four rooms, you can choose at will, I am already waiting for everyone inside."

After this sentence was finished, train conductor Wei Ping'an disappeared.

But his voice, divided into four parts, appeared in rooms one, two, three, and four—

"Everyone, please enter the room to understand the details of becoming a

These gimmicky words made Wen Xishu eager to try; of course, he did not believe that becoming a god was so easy.

However, the word "god" always made Wen Xishu think of the twelve constellations, and he was quite curious to see.

Wen Xishu walked into Room No. 1.

Wang Yueyun was also unafraid and quickly walked into Room No. 2.

Zheng Zai immediately entered Room No. 3, and Amiao followed closely behind, entering Room No. 4.

At this moment, all four room doors closed completely.

……

……

The moment the doors closed—

Wen Xishu only felt as if he had entered a different dimension; he could not sense anything from the outside world at all.

"Because we have already read a portion of your memories in the Fear Carriage... so, here, please allow me to address you as—Mr. Wen Xishu."

Train Conductor Wei Ping'an was brewing tea for Wen Xishu. His technique was quite Whatever Longxia-style.

In fact, from the accent, Wen Xishu felt he sounded like someone from the Fujian region in his past life.

Wei Ping'an said:

"You have... a special mark on you. I can feel it, Mr. Wen Xishu, you have a great affinity with our plan."

"You are more powerful than any other apostle, Mr. Wen Xishu, and with your help for this plan..."

"I truly, very sincerely hope that you can accept this plan."

Wen Xishu was puzzled:

"What kind of affinity?"

At this moment, Wei Ping'an recited three names:

"Qin Feng, Tang Yi, Mao Tai. I wonder if you still remember these three."

Wen Xishu had just experienced it, so of course he remembered.

"So it was those three; what happened to them?"

"The three of them are fine. They accepted the mission and are currently executing it, but I am sorry, before you become a god... I cannot tell you what mission they are executing." Wei Ping'an's tone was quite sincere.

It made Wen Xishu feel that the other party truly had no hostility.

Related to those three officers, Wen Xishu could be almost certain that Dragon Hidden and Heaven Chosen were part of the same series of missions.

Looking at it this way... this counted as a corner of a massive mission. Perhaps he shouldn't refuse?

Thinking this far, Wen Xishu said:

"Then what should I do?"

Wei Ping'an smiled mysteriously:

"Mr. Wen Xishu, you are gifted; it can be said that among this group of people, you have the strongest talent."

"But even your talent cannot cover every aspect."

"Perhaps this is one of your few shortcomings. On this train, there are people with better luck and physical fitness than you."

"Mr. Wen Xishu, I hope this doesn't offend you, but you are not yet perfect."

Indeed, he was not perfect. At most, he could be considered a natural holy body for climbing the Mysterious Tower, but he really didn't count for the Slaughter Tower, and as for the Tower of Desire, most of the time, it was because his angle of thinking started from the Mysterious Tower.

But why did Wen Xishu feel the conversation was a bit off:

"Sounds like you can make me perfect?"

"Of course. We once created a perfect species. We believe he could rival a god. Now, Mr. Wen Xishu, you seem to possess this quality as well. But it is not enough; you must become even more powerful, and your talent must be even more astonishing."

Wei Ping'an stopped beating around the bush and said very seriously:

"Mr. Wen Xishu, you are the most powerful carrier. Are you willing to let others become your offerings to provide you with talent?"

Wen Xishu was shocked:

"What do you mean? Offerings? Carrier?"

A "story" that shocked Wen Xishu somewhat was told from Wei Ping'an's mouth:

"Don't worry, they are all being held by me."

"Mr. Wen Xishu, our carriage screens for good seedlings that meet all the criteria, but you are different... you are helpful to the origin of this plan."

"To tell you the truth, we have been looking for you for a long time."

Wen Xishu seemed to understand.

After saving the three officers and activating the Dragon Hidden plan... had he become a target searched for by the Dragon Hidden plan?

Wei Ping'an said:

"Before everything begins, I know you must have many doubts, so let me tell you about it, starting from the source."

"Before the apocalypse arrived, the whole of Whatever Longxia was not peaceful. At that time, all over the country... no, even all over the world, many incredible cases were happening."

"At that time, the country recruited talented people from the public to form a bureau... but that bureau failed, it was terrible. It even invited ridicule."

"So the country still launched a plan, selecting a portion of people from the most excellent soldiers—establishing an organization called Hidden Dragon."

"Of course, this was one of the plans."

"Actually, even without my knowledge at the time, there was a Plan Two. The country knew far more than we did."

"The Hidden Dragon organization served the Dragon Hidden plan; the purpose of our plan was to create a god."

"And many years before the apocalypse arrived... the country already knew about some terrible things and established an earlier institution, as well as an earlier plan."

"That plan was called the Swan Plan. But the Swan Plan has already failed."

Swan Plan?

Wen Xishu felt a slight fluctuation in his heart; he was no stranger to these four words.

Too many things had happened recently, but he remembered it all at once...

In Ding Dong's narrative, the Swan Plan was mentioned!

"We found a child who had a great connection to a god... we raised him on an island. We hoped to find the secret of the god by studying that child."

"This was the Swan Plan."

"The person in charge of the plan was a person as excellent as you; his name was Jin Zhenyuan."

"But he betrayed us... he let the child who had a great connection to the god go."

"But Jin Zhenyuan was an extremely excellent person, and we needed his power... we arranged for people to go to the island, wanting to bring Jin Zhenyuan back. He loved that child too much; we could understand that."

"But what happened next exceeded our expectations. Jin Zhenyuan seemed to have gained superpowers; with his own strength, he defeated all the... experts we arranged."

"It turned out that Mr. Jin Zhenyuan had already obtained some of the god's power through some unknown means..."

"His physique was different from ordinary people; his reactions, skills, and speed far exceeded those of humans."

"Jin Zhenyuan did not kill his former comrades, he only left one sentence... the future of humanity does not lie in the real world, please do not contact him again."

Wen Xishu maintained his usual appearance, serious yet with a bit of nonchalance.

But in fact, his heart had already stirred up waves.

The future of humanity does not lie in the real world.

Does that mean the future of humanity—lies in the Bunker?

Professor Jin, Mr. Jin, Jin Zhenyuan...

Are these all the same person?

Actually, Wen Xishu had suspected before whether the father in Ding Dong's mouth, Professor Jin, was the Mr. Jin of the Bunker.

But this was only a suspicion.

Now, with this sentence "the future of humanity does not lie in the real world," Wen Xishu's suspicion increased.

And at this moment, he suddenly realized...

Little Jin did not walk out of the Fear Carriage; could it be because of this?

Wen Xishu said in a deep voice:

"Before telling me about the god-making plan, I want to know, what will happen to my friends, and the friends who haven't passed all the carriages yet?"

Wei Ping'an looked at Wen Xishu for a long while and said:

"They will survive safely, nothing will happen to them. It depends on... how you choose."

This statement indeed had a problem; Wen Xishu realized this might be a word trap.

But in any case, he learned that Little Jin was currently fine.

If Little Jin's fear was related to Mr. Jin, then... did Wei Ping'an realize that Mr. Jin and Jin Zhenyuan were the same person?

Was Little Jin unable to pass the carriage because of fear, or was he detained because of something else?

All of this was unknown for the time being, but Wen Xishu was not in a hurry.

Wei Ping'an continued:

"The Swan Plan failed. Our most important researcher and the subject being studied both turned against us, believing that the arrival of the apocalypse was unstoppable."

"They were right; the arrival of the apocalypse was unstoppable. The country was broken and families were destroyed, and it was being staged in every part of the world."

"My wife and child turned into normal species and started killing me... my subordinates risked their lives to save me."

"In order to cope with the apocalypse, countries around the world were thinking of ways. The Freedom Country built an Ark. A huge Ark that achieved ecological circulation..."

"The Ark could accommodate 15 million people."

Another plan Wen Xishu had heard of.

During his first time climbing the Mysterious Tower, in the simulation, Wen Xishu remembered that Jennifer's mother, Yulia, abandoned Jennifer in order to board the Ark.

That was how Jennifer could be with Jack...

But now, Wen Xishu suddenly felt, is it possible—that this was the effect of the barrage?

After all, Jack's barrage had manifested.

"That seems to be able to accommodate quite a few people?" Wen Xishu said.

Wei Ping'an nodded:

"At that time, the Freedom Country had a population of 275 million. As the apocalypse approached, many people died, and some chose to stay in their homeland... actually, counting it up, one in ten people could enter the Ark."

"This also led to many poor people having the opportunity to enter the Ark."

"The shape of the Ark was a huge pyramid. It is said that entering the Ark required agreeing to an agreement. Based on your past experiences and various assessments, you were divided into three, six, and nine grades. The lower-class people lived on the bottom floor of the pyramid and did all kinds of chores."

Wen Xishu was quite interested in this information.

Wen Xishu said:

"Before you tell me the details of the Dragon Hidden plan, can you tell me more about... the methods countries used to deal with the apocalypse?"

Wei Ping'an shook his head:

"There were not many who could avoid the apocalypse. Most... chose to defend it with national strength, but they couldn't hold out, as there were simply too many mutated people."

"Some countries, even major powers, fell very quickly."

"Our good neighbor, Xiong Su, chose the Sky Dome Plan, but there has been no news of this plan so far. Simply put, this plan was to go to a space station in space to avoid the apocalypse."

"Theoretically, it was feasible, although after the apocalypse arrived, various powerful monsters, some of which truly had power that could reach the gods... but it seemed that none were enough to leave this planet."

"But we never received any news from our good neighbor again. No one knows what the situation in outer space is now."

Wen Xishu sighed after hearing this.

Countries were indeed keen, but it seemed that not a single one could truly avoid the apocalypse.

Perhaps the Bunker was the largest gathering place for humans.

Wen Xishu couldn't help but ask:

"Could it be... that the Ark can still be contacted?"

"No, there has been no word for a while. The technology on the Ark is very complex; it can completely block sunlight and achieve visual invisibility."

"For a long time, the Ark established contact with us, telling us that the Ark Plan was the only plan most effective against the apocalypse."

"Perhaps, but the Dragon Hidden plan did not fail. We long to return to our homeland..."

Fallen leaves return to their roots.

This is the deep-rooted thought of the Whatever Longxia people; even if they die thousands of miles away, their obsession before death is to return to their homeland and be buried in their homeland.

Wen Xishu actually admired this quite a bit.

"Then the Dragon Hidden plan, creating a god, how exactly is it created?"

Wei Ping'an said:

"First of all, Dragon Hidden represents concealment. We did not consider building a huge Ark, but instead established an underground fortress."

"This fortress can accommodate about 500,000 people and is located more than 1,000 meters underground."

"By using the Heaven Chosen train to go to the surface."

Wen Xishu was shocked again when he heard this.

This underground fortress was certainly not the Bunker. But so far, this was the closest thing to the Bunker's approach.

The Bunker was very likely not in the same "plane" as the real world. It was "absolutely safe" in the true sense.

But the four words "underground fortress" were also very close to the correct answer.

Wen Xishu suddenly thought of...

In his past life, in the country's history, there was a very difficult period where tunnel warfare became a feature.

Hiding underground seemed to be an instinct to crave safety.

Although he didn't find the origin of the "Bunker," hearing about an underground fortress made Wen Xishu excited too.

"Continue."

Wei Ping'an continued:

"Hmm... our underground fortress has no class division. Here, except for the management, almost everyone is equal. Especially the newcomers."

"Because the newcomers' beliefs, courage, and loyalty have all been screened. The people selected by the Heaven Chosen train have an absolute belief in returning to their homeland and letting humanity return to the surface."

"Even if it means dying for these beliefs."

"Mr. Wen Xishu, we have been cultivating true warriors, and we have also found an ancient... god-making ritual through two existences extremely close to gods."

The key information came.

Wen Xishu asked:

"What's the situation? Two existences extremely close to gods, are they outsiders?"

Wei Ping'an said:

"Yes, they are the brothers and sisters of the Swan Plan researchers. They didn't reveal their names, but one held a long staff in his hand, and there was a sheep's head on the top of the staff."

"The other wore a wide robe, and a scale was carved on the back of the robe."

Wen Xishu was stunned.

"Bai Yang... Libra?"

Were they in a state of cooperation?

In Wen Xishu's stereotype, Bai Yang was related to those ancient powers and was also the key for Wen Xishu to obtain Tower Power values in the future.

Wen Xishu was definitely going to be on good terms with Bai Yang.

As for Libra, what he was interested in was creating new forces.

Was the Hidden Dragon organization something Libra longed to support?

Twelve constellations, each in their own faction, only when there was only one left could that person become a true god.

An absolutely powerful god.

Obviously, all twelve constellations longed to become gods.

But now, two constellations that had nothing to do with each other had actually joined forces...

Does that mean one constellation had become so powerful that it was somewhat overpowered?

So much so that two constellations had to join forces?

And they unanimously believed that the Dragon Hidden plan could create an existence that could restrain that constellation?

A lot of information flashed through Wen Xishu's mind.

"Continue..."

Wei Ping'an said:

"With this ancient ritual, plus the Heaven Chosen train being modified by that... forget it, I don't want to hide it, perhaps you have already come into contact with them."

"The Heaven Chosen train was modified by Libra. In short, under layers of screening, there were already many powerful people in our underground fortress."

"These people, with the help of the ritual, can become even more powerful until they become gods and lead us out of here."

"Ha... having said so much, it's time to talk about the ritual itself. Lord Wen Xishu, still the same question, are you willing to accept the sacrifice of others and become a god?"

"Your teammates, Nisen, Little Jin, Wang Yueyun, Zheng Zai, and Amiao."

"They all have some areas that can complement you. They will all become a part of you. In the future, although they will no longer exist, you will end the apocalypse and lead people back to their homeland."

So, this was the sacrifice?

Wen Xishu laughed in surprise:

"You mean, my partners will die, and then I will absorb their talent...?"

"This way, I become a god?"

Isn't this plan a bit too evil?

Wei Ping'an shook his head and said frankly:

"To become a god, of course, it can't be that simple. By doing this, you will only become more perfect. Your body, reaction speed, agility, luck... will all become stronger."

"But to reach a god, you still need to go through layers of sacrifice..."

"You will challenge new Heaven Chosen trains with completely different content together with others again."

"In each train, you will have the opportunity to absorb the qualifications of new Heaven Chosen ones. Your qualifications will be constantly improved and tend to be perfect..."

"All our existing warriors, as long as you can defeat them, they are all willing to become a part of you."

"Finally, with the help of the ritual, you will obtain the power of all 'Heaven Chosen ones' and become the ultimate Heaven Chosen one!"

Wei Ping'an's tone actually became a bit excited.

But Wen Xishu listened... and suddenly realized that the Dragon Hidden plan was very likely a scam.

He immediately thought of An Rongzai.

The Reverse Seven Plan, seven people sacrifice to serve one person.

Then this person forms a second round of the Reverse Seven Plan with six other people to serve one person...

Under layers of screening, finally, it serves An Rongzai.

"Qin Feng, Tang Yi, Old Tai, are the three investigators now also participating in the Dragon Hidden plan? Could it be that... they are also willing to let their two friends who shared life and death die and convert them into their own talent?"

Wen Xishu asked.

"They are still executing external missions... once they have enough qualifications, they will know the core of this mission. I think they are willing." Wei Ping'an said.

"This is the apocalypse, Mr. Wen Xishu, unity is strength! In the apocalypse, having many people is useless. Only by creating a savior can we lead us out of the underground fortress!"

"Your posture in passing the train is so calm, and your qualifications are the highest. As long as you are willing to join... agree to become our god! Agree to accept the sacrifice!"

Wei Ping'an was still chattering on.

But Wen Xishu already understood—

If you can accept the sacrifice now, you will have to accept being sacrificed in the future...

This plan, I'm afraid, doesn't really serve the people on the train, but the person who started this plan first.

Wen Xishu said:

"If... I refuse?"

Wei Ping'an was very surprised; how could anyone refuse to become stronger?

But he still said:

"At this very moment... the other few people are all facing a choice, and that is whether to absorb your talent and power."

"Mr. Wen Xishu, for you, they are just a slight reinforcement, but what do you mean to them? Do you know?"

Wen Xishu really didn't expect that the final 016 carriage was actually raising poisonous insects!

"I'm not afraid to tell you, in the carriage, only one person is allowed to leave."

"The higher the qualifications, the more priority the choice permission has. In other words, the time you have now... crushes them."

"You can listen to me finish all the stories slowly, and then make a choice..."

"But time is passing after all, Mr. Wen Xishu, you should make a decision!"

"Five minutes later, if you still don't make a decision... then it will be their turn... to sacrifice you."

"Among the three of them, the one with the best qualifications is the one called Zheng Zai, followed by Wang Yueyun, and finally Amiao."

Wei Ping'an's smile became a bit colder:

"Do you have that much confidence in them? You must know what your talent means to them!"

Wei Ping'an was not lying.

At this very moment...

Although Zheng Zai had already given up and accepted being sacrificed by Wen Xishu, the "Wei Ping'an" in the room where Zheng Zai was located was still earnestly persuading him.

"Zheng Zai... do you not crave power?"

"I tell you, Zheng Zai! If you don't make a choice, you will never be able to clear your father's name!"

"Once you have Wen Xishu's power, you can imagine... how everyone will worship you! At that time, all the grievances your father suffered can be washed away. Everyone who hurt you in the past will have to kneel and kowtow to you!"

"All the achievements Wen Xishu has made, you can also obtain! Although he is dead! But you are reborn!!"

Correspondingly, it was the same on Wang Yueyun's side.

"Wang Yueyun, you crave to become the strongest. I felt the unwillingness in your heart, but in this world, there are many things that cannot be achieved by hard work!"

"Go absorb them!"

"Your heart has already given up on comparing yourself to Wen Xishu, but now, do you know! You can surpass Wen Xishu!"

"Those big shots in your mind will be shocked by your talent! As long as you agree to become a god! And... if you don't agree, could it be that they don't agree either?"

"I'm not afraid to tell you, only one person can leave the carriage... could it be that you hope that person isn't you?"

Wang Yueyun was actually struggling a lot.

Xun Hui, the old principal, and the five elders... these awesome figures each had talent that made people look up to them.

Yes, people always say that most people's hard work cannot reach the level of comparing talent... but Wang Yueyun reached it.

And because of this, he felt that every time he got closer to the geniuses, it was as if the geniuses were deliberately not working hard enough and were giving it to him as charity.

He truly realized the gap in talent.

In Wei Ping'an's view, Wang Yueyun was undoubtedly the person most likely to accept the ritual.

"Standing at the pinnacle of all geniuses, becoming an existence that even geniuses look up to, you just need to agree to us! Hurry up, otherwise... it will be your turn."

Amiao, of course, also suffered temptation.

However, Amiao refused very directly. Before Wei Ping'an was halfway through, before he was ready to start describing the beautiful prospects of having talent, Amiao refused righteously.

"No... absolutely, absolutely not!" Amiao shouted sternly.

Wei Ping'an sighed:

"Fine, then wait for that result."

Wei Ping'an gave up on lobbying Amiao.

It was simple, because compared to creating a god that Amiao didn't recognize, Amiao was more willing to follow her own god.

Yes, in Amiao's heart, there was already a god.

Coincidentally, this god was also facing the same choice as Amiao.

Wei Ping'an finally just said:

"You finally had a new life, and now you are about to become someone else's sacrifice, is it worth it?"

Amiao said frankly:

"If it's Brother Shu, I think it's worth it."

Wei Ping'an was actually a bit impressed by this girl:

"Your loyalty is what we need, what a pity. I really hope you are that god."

This was half true and half false.

Wei Ping'an didn't say anything more and waited for the result with Amiao.

Only Wei Ping'an himself knew that there were actually two people still struggling.

One was Wen Xishu, and the other was Wang Yueyun.

Wen Xishu was more like thinking, while Wang Yueyun was truly struggling.

As for Zheng Zai, Zheng Zai gave up.

"I... I cannot become Brother Wen, even with his talent, it's the same. I cannot accept myself killing my benefactor for power."

Zheng Zai didn't give up as readily as Amiao. Amiao was because of faith, while Zheng Zai was because of faith plus morality.

But he also made a choice that he felt no shame about:

"If Brother Wen feels he needs my power... I, I am willing to offer this power!"

Wei Ping'an actually only had half confidence in persuading Zheng Zai. Whether Zheng Zai accepted or refused, in his view, it was reasonable.

He didn't lobby much more in the end, because although Zheng Zai hesitated a bit, once he made a decision, it was not to be changed.

Finally, Wei Ping'an was silent, waiting for the results to come from the other two "selves."

……

……

Room No. 01.

"Mr. Wen Xishu, there are 50 seconds left, I can be sure... if you don't make a choice, one of the three of them will definitely make a choice!"

Wen Xishu didn't respond and had been thinking.

This plan seemed a bit too evil. And the Dragon Hidden plan, as a level seven mission later on...

But to have shown its full picture here already, it was a bit too hasty.

Besides, Wen Xishu also remembered that Wei Ping'an said one sentence...

"They will survive safely, nothing will happen to them. It depends on... how you choose."

This sentence was clearly contradictory to the current situation.

The Wei Ping'an from before gave Wen Xishu the feeling of an easygoing and sincere old man.

The two seemed to be facing the same enemy—the apocalypse.

But now, Wen Xishu felt that Wei Ping'an was like a merchant who used all his eloquence to lobby him.

His fingers tapped on the table at a steady pace, his eyes staring straight at Wei Ping'an.

Wei Ping'an said:

"Twenty seconds left. After twenty seconds, assuming someone chooses to sacrifice the three of you... guess who it will be?"

"I think it's Wang Yueyun."

Starting to play psychological warfare with me, assuming, and then letting myself simulate Wang Yueyun making a choice in my mind, letting my logic automatically convince myself of the reason for Wang Yueyun making a choice...

Quite realistic, Wen Xishu also felt that Wang Yueyun was the person who worked the hardest, and people who work hard are the ones who crave talent the most.

Wen Xishu believed in Amiao, and he also believed in Old Zheng.

Even if there was Nisen, Wen Xishu would also believe in Nisen. He also firmly believed that the friendship between himself and Wang Yueyun was actually no less than that between himself and Nisen.

But if Nisen were replaced by Wang Yueyun, Wen Xishu really wasn't sure... how Wang Yueyun would choose.

"Ten seconds."

A look of regret appeared on Wei Ping'an's face, a look as if he were about to say goodbye to Wen Xishu.

But Wen Xishu was still thinking, very calmly.

Actually, Wen Xishu felt he shouldn't trust anyone.

Yes, he shouldn't trust Amiao, shouldn't trust Old Zheng, Nisen, Wang Yueyun, and even less should he trust.

But inexplicably, he was very calm now.

So calm that even he himself felt a bit surprised.

As if his heart was firmly believing in some things he shouldn't have believed in.

"Five seconds."

……

……

Room No. 02.

"Five seconds." Wei Ping'an's tone was full of temptation.

At this moment, there was already sweat on Wang Yueyun's forehead. He had truly struggled for a long, long time.

Finally, when Wei Ping'an was about to count down, starting three, two, one...

Wang Yueyun gritted his teeth and said:

"Shut up. I give up."

Wei Ping'an was stunned; this was an answer that surprised him quite a bit.

He intended to continue lobbying, but Wang Yueyun said:

"One more word, and I'll kill you!"

The cold style Wang Yueyun had was actually somewhat similar to Xun Hui's.

Wei Ping'an thought for a moment and said:

"I need a reason."

Wang Yueyun wiped the sweat from his forehead; only at this moment did he relax.

His expression remained cold:

"Dao heart."

"Dao heart?" Wei Ping'an didn't expect to hear such a term.

Wang Yueyun said:

"I know that I won't go as far as Wen Xishu in the future, and his talent is very tempting to me."

"If I were to force myself to say that my relationship with him has reached the level of absolute trust, perhaps it's still a little early. Even though we have fought side by side more than once."

"I crave that talent, but that talent, when it falls on Wen Xishu, his will will be very firm, because it belonged to him in the first place."

"But when it falls on me, I won't."

Wei Ping'an understood.

How can a person who sells out friends for glory talk about a Dao heart? And how can he talk about making further progress?

Wang Yueyun couldn't accept that his talent was stolen; I'm afraid he would be restless in the future.

Wei Ping'an was a bit impressed.

Although Zheng Zai and Amiao made their choices much faster than Wang Yueyun, the process of Wang Yueyun overcoming his inner demons made him feel that Wang Yueyun's quality was even more noble.

"What a pity, Mr. Wang Yueyun. Please allow me to say so... of course, I might change my statement soon."

Wang Yueyun said:

"What do you mean?"

Wei Ping'an didn't speak but waited patiently for dozens of seconds.

In the silent dozens of seconds, Wang Yueyun's heart was also pounding; to say he wasn't afraid of death would be impossible.

But finally, his heartbeat began to slowly return to calm.

Wei Ping'an finally spoke:

"Since the beginning, this is the second time that no 'Apostle' has appeared at the end of the train."

"Congratulations to you all, you have all survived."

Wang Yueyun was shocked, then happy.

"You mean, the decision everyone made was to give up?"

Wei Ping'an nodded:

"Yes, everyone gave up. It's really a surprise, especially you, Mr. Wang Yueyun, you made me look at you with new eyes."

……

……

Room No. 01.

Wei Ping'an stood up and bowed to Wen Xishu.

Wen Xishu actually didn't say the words "I refuse," he just kept thinking...

Where he started to change.

But watching Wei Ping'an stand up, Wen Xishu suddenly smiled:

"It seems our affinity ends here."

Wei Ping'an shook his head:

"The first step of the Dragon Hidden plan is to screen for apostles who crave to become stronger and have excellent qualifications, although..."

"Mr. Wen Xishu, you are very charming, all your partners gave up, they were all willing to die for you."

Wen Xishu was also quite moved:

"So your plan is actually fake? You were testing us?"

Wei Ping'an shook his head again:

"No, it's real. If you agreed, then you would no longer be a person of 'that world'."

"You would be one of our most powerful apostles, and I have great confidence that you would defeat other apostles and let all apostles become a part of you becoming a god..."

"I actually really feel very regretful."

"But to be honest, I am also proud of you and your team. Having such partners is truly not easy. Your affinity with the Dragon Hidden plan is not that deep..."

"But I hope that one day in the future, we can cooperate again. Perhaps you feel this plan is evil. However... we have no other way."

"Finally, as one of the very few people who can symbiotically pass the train, you and your partners will all receive our gift."

"I think you should leave now."

Yes, Wen Xishu also received the prompt that the mission was completed at this moment.

Vortex No. 2, Maze Train, the causes and consequences had all been experienced.

"Say hello to Mr. Jin for us, please tell him... avoidance is meaningless."

Wei Ping'an bowed again.

Wen Xishu was very surprised by this last sentence.

At the same time, all the rooms suddenly disappeared.

The huge "conference hall" and all the rooms all turned back into the original appearance of the carriage.

【Congratulations on reaching the final platform, I wish you a pleasant journey.】

Wen Xishu turned around and saw the unconscious Little Jin, as well as Nisen who was standing and trying to lift his feet.

There was also Wang Yueyun with sweat on his forehead, Zheng Zai with a silly smile, and Amiao who looked slightly worried.

Everyone also suddenly realized...

It turned out everyone was still there.

Wang Yueyun's gaze toward Wen Xishu was a bit complicated, but finally, Wang Yueyun, who never liked to smile and liked a cold posture, grinned and smiled:

"Wen Xishu, we won."

Wen Xishu also knew that it was not easy for Wang Yueyun to make this decision. He didn't sacrifice others in the end, not because he bet on the feelings between Wang Yueyun and himself.

It was betting on the props on his own body. Wen Xishu didn't have confidence in Wang Yueyun, but had confidence in himself.

But now, looking at Wang Yueyun, he realized that he had truly made a friend.

He also smiled and said:

"Hmm, we won. See you at the Bunker later."
