Kaidan Game Train: Abide Rule or Die!

Xu Huo immediately bought a close-range Spatial Teleportation Device from Beneath the Dimension, similar to a "Doorbell" as a one-time space-crossing prop, which connects to the nearest stable small space, providing the holder with a safe house. It’s somewhat like the tools used by those two experimenters in Zone 017, though it only lasts ten seconds before automatically returning to its original position.

He didn’t actually go inside; rather, he took advantage of the stable Space Portal opened by the prop to activate the Time Ray and Spatial Ray.

Once the portal was opened, as expected, both the time and spatial rays experienced some form of disconnection. This was likely because the small space created by the prop is extremely stable, allowing people to freely move in and out, but the interfaces between spaces weren’t completely compatible. Thus, he couldn’t directly control the rays inside the small space from outside, but he could once he reached inside.

The Time Ray was the same; when he adjusted the Time Ray outside, the Time Ray within the small space did not vibrate, completely isolated by the prop.

Ten seconds passed quickly, the prop failed, and the Space Portal closed in front of him.

Xu Huo paused for a moment and bought a second one.

After consuming about ten single-use Spatial Teleportation Devices, he finally stopped.

Regrettably, neither the spatial nor temporal evolution reached the stage he envisioned.

Unable to verify his thoughts for the time being, Xu Huo did not continue forward but returned to the courtyard to try enhancing the power by influencing the Time Rays of two completely different courtyards.

To introduce the Time Force from other spaces, it certainly wouldn’t be about destroying space to find an entrance; how then could one allow spatial forces to intermingle?

Unfortunately, even in this small courtyard, he couldn’t make the two Time Forces resonate or vibrate with each other. Even standing in one courtyard, he couldn’t sense the Time Rays in another, as if everything returned to the starting point.

Nor could he revert from refined rays back to the entirety of a courtyard.

"Something still feels a bit off."

Xu Huo started shuttling between the courtyards, feeling the different Time Forces within the courtyards as he walked.

He couldn’t help but think of Carmen Field’s manipulation of the Time Rays. At that time, it seemed that the Time Rays first destroyed the Divine Temple’s dome before spreading out, damaging more objects. Initially, the area covered by the Time Force was indeed minimal, which then suddenly expanded. In hindsight, it should be the fusion area of Time Forces had increased, much like a trickle turning into a stream.

This actually involves the covered area of Time Forces and the interweaving of two times.

Every time he pushed open the courtyard door, he felt he grasped something key, but as the door opened, that feeling quickly slipped away, as if he was always lingering outside the door, and when his feelings fluctuated, the courtyard area would constantly expand and contract, yet ultimately failing to form a complete courtyard.

This situation continued until night fell again.

"Could it be that the evolution rate isn’t enough?" The changes in the courtyard indicated his direction might be correct, so after three fruitless days, Xu Huo decided to look for other causes.

This threshold seemed hard to cross for the time being, so at night, he returned to Rose Castle; this time, he did not use a flying device but directly used the same-zone teleportation prop to return.

Mr. Dong appeared before him the next second, "Would Sir like dinner?"

Xu Huo nodded and stretched his arm, "Make something soupy, I’ve been living on dry rations these days."

The Girl in the painting also ran out, showing him the contents she had prepared in her backpack.

Inside a trendy small bag, along with communicators, locators, and some small, convenient equipment, were some cosmetics, a few pieces of jewelry and gemstones she routinely liked, and several thick wads of White Notes. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

The Girl in the painting indicated this was her carry-on luggage, and she was ready, determined to follow Xu Huo on his next instance.

"When do we leave?" The Girl in the painting was very worried that he might abandon her again this time, as Xu Huo rarely stayed at the castle for so long, and should already be heading for the next instance.

"Tomorrow then." Xu Huo thought for a moment, "Tomorrow after lunch."

During this free time, he broadly searched for a bit of Dr. Deng’s information and has already identified a sub-region, planning to visit after the instance.

The Girl in the painting jumped for joy, emphasizing repeatedly not to secretly sneak away, then solemnly handed over her bag covered in many cartoon pins to him, "Tomorrow I’ll get in the bag, and you have to carry me."

Xu Huo looked at the bag, radiating a strong personal style, and pointed to the table beside him, "Put it down."

The Girl in the painting nodded, sitting beside and watching him eat.

She followed him upstairs, even brought a blanket from her room, insisting she would sleep at his door.

Xu Huo let her be, closed the door, and went to sleep.

The next morning’s task was to arrange the purchased supplies. Besides loading many things into the luggage cabin, places usable in Snowflake Hotel should also be utilized. In addition to daily necessities, Mr. Dong had prepared twenty sets of clothes for him, suitable for any occasion.

"Just leave these here." It’s all about convenience outside.

But Mr. Dong said, "These outfits match your status, appropriate attires can help you avoid some unnecessary trouble."

Xu Huo obligingly put on the black coat he chose.

The Girl in the painting also specifically changed into a black dress, spinning in front of him to ask, "Do I look good?"

"The sub-region we’re heading to isn’t hot." Xu Huo said.

The Girl in the painting pretended not to hear, urging him to hurry.

Ensuring nothing was omitted, the two entered the enclosed space created by Mr. Dong, attempting to block outside views as much as possible before leaving Zone 011.

The Girl in the painting had to stay in the backpack until boarding the train, so it was Xu Huo who carried the bag. In the carriage, a flamboyant woman was promoting her manufactured potion. Her eyes lit up upon spotting him, and she immediately approached, saying, "Hey handsome, want to try some excitement potion? Guaranteed to boost your spirits, don’t believe me? Try it?"

"Do you think anyone would buy your potion in public?" Xu Huo asked.

"Of course, there are." The woman smiled beautifully and gently stroked her long hair near her ear, "Buying the potion comes with an experience. Also, I like handsome guys; it’s a win-win, right?"

"No thanks." Xu Huo turned and headed toward the transitional carriage, and when he returned, Girl in the painting was by his side, and the backpack was transferred to her.

The woman selling potions stared at her for several seconds before snorting and heading to another carriage.

The Girl in the painting, who had been warned beforehand, was relatively behaved, found a seat, summoned a menu, placed an order, and patted the bag, indicating she would treat.
