Kaidan Game Train: Abide Rule or Die!-Chapter 2224: Nowhere to Run

Just as he was speaking, Xu Huo sensed a slight loosening of the barrier made by Spatial Power, and at the same time, the person trapped inside underwent a small change—the individual seemed to still be in place, but in reality, this was not the same person as before. The overly lifelike state made it difficult to distinguish whether this was a real person or not. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

However, it didn’t matter. With Xu Huo’s enhanced Psychic Power, he could cover both the front and rear carriages. As long as the other party couldn’t roam freely on this train, they couldn’t get away!

Vertical Pupils replaced his eyes and appeared in the front and rear carriages, not hidden but deliberately visible to the players. Faced with the Vertical Pupils, most players were very cautious, but due to the uncertain situation, they were only wary and didn’t turn tail and run.

Only two people, feeling the presence of Psychic Power, ran towards the further carriages without looking back.

Xu Huo opened three Mental Portals under their feet, bringing them back to the carriage he was in. To prevent them from escaping using any Props, he simply locked them and himself together within a Rank-A Defense Item.

The Rank-A Defense Item covered a small range, so the distance between them wasn’t far. The player who attacked first, seeing the situation turning unfavorable, immediately crushed a poisonous gas Prop. As purple-black gas spread, the opponent used the smoke to obscure vision and attacked again!

Xu Huo didn’t change his position. He looked at the Secant Line Prop that had suddenly been removed, and he once again lifted the Spatial Ray Blade. However, these Ray Blades only penetrated two layers of defense on that player. It was clear that Advanced Players wouldn’t just have two or three Defense Props, so the opponent recklessly charged forward.

The Spatial Ray Blade slowed the player down, enough time to strip away each layer of Defense Props they had. Though Defense Props aren’t Disposable Items, after nearly twenty seconds of repeated consumption, Xu Huo finally released a Secant Line to destroy the last layer of defense, and when the Secant Line went in, a Psyche Force Materialization also went in, splitting the person into two.

Yet the person still wasn’t dead. After being cut apart, they disappeared from within the Defense Prop, as if everything that had just happened was an illusion.

There was blood on the carpet.

Sweeping his gaze from another player who appeared on high alert, Xu Huo took out the eye gifted by the Goddess Church, which had been modified into a lantern.

He had already examined this Prop. The modification was crude, making it just a Rank-B Spiritual Item, which could cause people to fall into an Illusion Realm in a very short time. It was an indiscriminate attack Prop, meaning its holder would also be attacked, But Xu Huo was enduring well, and the other players in the carriage were stable, unlike the injured ones.

Painful groans emerged from the transition carriages at the back.

Xu Huo returned his gaze forward, noticing that the same player was trying to head toward the rear carriages again.

"Stop him," Xu Huo commanded a few Cannibal Players in the transition carriage ahead. When Xu Huo focused his Psychic Power, it could have a powerful controlling effect, but it was very short-lived, often causing those being controlled to snap back to their senses mid-command execution. But it was enough, as a Cannibal Player was right by the door. After a brief pause, they stood at the door. The injured player rushed them, but using a Defense Prop then landed a heavy punch, sending the injured player and their Defense Prop flying against the carriage door.

Xu Huo pulled him back.

"Your Prop is quite interesting," he said, turning to look at this person. "How about this, you give me this escape Prop, and we’ll call it even for what happened earlier."

That person stood up, wiping blood from the corner of his mouth, "You think you can really kill me?"

"Unless you get off the train now, as long as you’re on this train, no matter how many times you escape, I can kill you." Xu Huo felt the eye spinning, "Just right for trying out this newly acquired Prop."

The opponent retreated apprehensively, as the closer one got to the eye lantern, the greater the Mental Interference. No normal person could endure such an environment for long.

"Then let’s see who’s more skilled!" the person suddenly shouted as they glanced behind Xu Huo, calling to those who had been pulled over with them, "Aren’t you going to act?"

Catching the moment Xu Huo turned his head, the opponent once again made a dash for the door. But what he met was a Cubic Space that automatically exploded mid-air. Without the instrument backing of the "Cubic Space," a gas blast from superimposed layers of compressed cubes was enough to hit him back hard.

Then the Materialized Item silently wrapped around his neck.

The head hit the floor, smoke dissipated.

After dealing with this, Xu Huo turned to the other person, "I doubt we can get anything out of him. What about you?"

This time, he didn’t waste words. Shadow-like Materialized Items swiftly spread, covering the entire carriage and wrapping around this player’s body.

"I have no ill intentions!" the person hastily raised their hands, "I got here by accident, I don’t even know that guy, and I’m not his companion!"

"Then why run?" Xu Huo raised an eyebrow.

"I’ve met other Psychic Evolvers before. I know you can kill with Spiritual Power alone, and I didn’t want to get caught in any trouble, so I ran first," the player confessed straightforwardly, quickly explaining the background and expressing that they had only just gotten on the train to watch the match for excitement, and wouldn’t cause trouble on purpose.

The individual seemed to have a significant fear of Psychic Evolvers, eyeing the black liquid-like things wrapping around their shoulders, swallowing nervously, "Can’t you put the eye away?"

They referred to the eye lantern in Xu Huo’s hand.

As the eye lantern vanished, the oppressive atmosphere in the carriage lifted immediately, and the other players acted as if nothing had happened, ignoring the bodies on the floor. After taking the dead man’s Props and calling a crew member to clean up, Xu Huo inspected the person’s remaining items. There was no match for the many escapes, indicating either a particularly evolved characteristic or the use of some Disposable Item. Additionally, no suspicious clues were found.

"Actually, this is quite common," the player voluntarily said. "Players often attack others on trains. I guess he saw you alone without companions and chose you as a target."

"Is that so?" Xu Huo chuckled, "Well, there’s still some time before lights out. Why don’t you tell me about the Psychic Evolvers you’ve encountered?"

This player, of course, didn’t refuse and stayed in the carriage.

"Every Super Evolver, after overcoming the initial phase of having just above-average Evolution, becomes particularly powerful later on. The Super Evolver I met once directly controlled an entire city’s population to attack another city. Nowadays, many game sectors aren’t backward and have high-damage weapons. With infighting, it’s not hard to imagine the carnage. They nearly decimated the nation."
