Kaidan Game Train: Abide Rule or Die!

In the spiritual world, Evolvers can successfully open portals and pass through barriers like doors or walls mainly because they change the state of the barriers and themselves. Hard walls can be broken open as easily as sponges or air, allowing them to pass smoothly, not only reducing obstacles but also shortening distances. This is the transformation of the surrounding environment by spiritual power. In this spiritual world, everything in the environment can temporarily become as intangible as air to the Evolvers.

But in the Mirror World, everything in the environment is real, just as people seem to possess the properties of walls in the Library Tower World. They can pass through any object. Simply put, it’s like achieving the state of a spiritual world opener. However, unlike openers, those in the Mirror World seem to have been decomposed by power, appearing still as a whole, yet achieving the state of walls in the Library Tower World, where objects can pass through them.

In the current state, it seems difficult to understand the difference between the two, but under the influence of Psychic Power, Yan Jiayu can walk through walls while experiencing a chance of being unable to hold onto props.

In the past spiritual world, Xu Huo had to spend a long time to completely obscure the spiritual state of those trapped, allowing them to escape the game while props became invalid. Entering the Mirror World completely compresses this process, and whether those trapped can use props depends on their own spiritual strength and the degree of influence.

For a person like Yan Jiayu, whose mental state is too stable, it’s not easy to influence her. Therefore, after a brief period of uncertainty, when she fell off the building, she managed to grab the floor by her willpower and climb back up.

She stood in front of Xu Huo with a face full of fear, "It’s just Hide and Seek; do we have to play it this big?"

Xu Huo chuckled, "Try using a prop, see if you can still use it?"

Yan Jiayu immediately took out two props. The first attempt surprisingly failed to activate, and she exclaimed in amazement, "Your spiritual world is unbelievable! You can completely obscure perception, how do you do it?"

It’s just compressing the lengthy process of Mental Interference, similar to how excessive Mental Interference leads to Spiritual Control, which shortens the time by using a stronger Psychic Power. In the Mirror World, Spiritual Control should be easier to perform.

So Xu Huo turned his gaze to the person slumped on the stairs. After confining him to Mirror Space, the will of Qi Cong, which was scattered, caused him to fall to the ground on the first floor. He looked up in confusion, only to see a rose appear in front of him, accompanied by a voice commanding him, "Use it to sever your right hand."

The exhausted Qi Cong, as if possessed, grabbed the flower on the ground. By skillfully bending the stem to form a sharp corner, he stabbed toward his own right wrist!

Under the influence of the player’s power, the stem successfully pierced into his flesh. Yet, Qi Cong himself did not wake up until Xu Huo commanded him again to stab his throat.

The bloodstained flower halted beside his neck. Qi Cong awoke as if from a deep slumber, gasped sharply, then threw away the object in his hand, frantically wrapping his wound while sobbing, "I just wanted a lifetime job with food and shelter included, and you actually want my life! Oh my god, is there really no good person in this world? Can’t live like this! Can’t live like this!"

Xu Huo turned his attention back to Yan Jiayu and said, "Your friend’s will is quite strong."

Still attempting to use props and feel the differences in the spiritual world, Yan Jiayu looked up, "Don’t underestimate him, he followed me all the way to E27. I was going to go home and enjoy myself, but now it’s hopeless. Although, he did help me in the previous instance, not a bad guy. But I don’t like him following me; can you think of a solution?"

"Isn’t he looking for a safe job? I’ll ask Mr. Dong to help him as long as he’s willing to stay in Zone 011." Xu Huo replied.

"I’ll talk to him tomorrow," Yan Jiayu yawned. "Have you solved your issue? If so, I’m going to sleep." 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

"Sweet dreams," Xu Huo closed the Mirror Spirit World, returning his attention to the Library Tower.

He was still seated at the table, seemingly sensing the books before him. The book’s cover changed, becoming mirror-like. As he casually flipped a page, a small mirror door appeared on the page—his Materialized Item had gained new content.

At this point, Xu Huo had completely recovered his childhood memories and had constructed a new Mental Space upon integrating his childhood personality. His Psychic Power overall doubled, although the control range of the Mirror Mental Space wasn’t large, yet his Materialize Space expanded from the original twenty meters to two hundred meters.

In this range, his Psychic Power can replace props or Characteristics for attack and defense without Materializing into a specific object. The attack might depend on the strength of the attack, but the Defense Attribute, especially for attack-type Characteristics, is highly effective, unable to pass through the copper walls formed by Materialize Space. The likelihood of Characteristics being effective is slim; it’s unknown whether the Materialized power space can impose constraints like the "Referee" encountered on the train.

Naturally, there are distinctions between Characteristics: for example, Xu Huo’s "The Immortal Pedestrian," its effect is to isolate all Characteristics, props, and other physical damage for 10 seconds. Such a level of protection is sufficiently high, but "The Immortal Pedestrian" isn’t omnipotent; Spatial Ray Blade can partially damage it, requiring strong enough Spatial Power to do so. Undoubtedly, Time Ray should be able to penetrate.

Considering the use of three types of Super Evolution Power, Characteristics, and props, they are different yet interconnected. Some Characteristics can be the use of Spatial Power or Psychic Power, but usually, they require a medium, behaving similarly to another use of props, most of which need the support of games. Props, needless to say, inherently contain temporal and spatial classifications as well as mental classifications.

From this perspective, ordinary players also have certain possibilities for Super Evolution during their evolution process. However, the states may differ, might be point-like or line-like, ultimately not formed into a system. Additionally, it can’t be ruled out that Characteristics actually are props with a non-physical medium, considering some quirky startup methods during the use of Characteristics, which are quite similar to props.

So, all the intricate existences in the game world ultimately relate to time and space.

But these are not urgently needed to be understood right now; the specific use of the spiritual world must wait for the next suitable opportunity. At present, he can have a good sleep.
