Kaidan Game Train: Abide Rule or Die!-Chapter 2171: Important Information

Dou Shengnan’s spirit evolution was absurdly strong. Besides being able to provide spiritual power over a long period and a large area, she could directly make advanced players commit suicide—this was somewhat alarming. The willpower of advanced players was unlike ordinary people; even if interference could succeed, the difficulty of interference and the speed of recovery afterward were incomparable to ordinary people, let alone making them commit suicide without hesitation.

Dou Shengnan often played with a pocket watch, which inevitably made people suspect it was a powerful prop. However, during both incidents, she never used the pocket watch. Instead, it was her eyes that held a strange power to control people’s minds. Compared to ordinary advanced players, Xu Huo should have been less easily influenced. Therefore, these two incidents were clearly targeted; Dou Shengnan didn’t use this trick on Nie Xuan, but specifically aimed to kill him.

When Xu Huo took action, he didn’t think about the prop. He instinctively wanted to blind her, but upon digging out the eyeball, he felt something inside.

It was a bizarre feeling. The glass bead in his hand was solid, resembling a glass bead styled like an eyeball, but when in Dou Shengnan’s eye, it seemed non-existent. At least, you couldn’t feel that her eye was fake, although the eyeball was indeed a real human eye.

Throughout his time in the game, Xu Huo had never encountered a prop that could integrate so completely with a person. Unfortunately, Dou Shengnan wasn’t dead, and the prop couldn’t be stored in the inventory, so he had no way to find out what it was for now.

Thinking for a moment, he used the characteristic "Home Field View."

The pen began to write on the paper with a rustle.

"A solitary battle was clearly an ignorant and arrogant decision. Xu Huo realized this when trying to stop Dou Shengnan’s steps. But precisely because of ignorance and arrogance, he decided to follow through with his plan."

"...After successfully luring Dou Shengnan into the Chongming Bird Administrative Region, his nerves became a bit tense, so he didn’t notice the differences between the Dr. Dian in front of him and the one he talked to during the day. But from his current intelligence, even with evidence before him, he might know nothing..."

"..."

"Dou Shengnan seemed to have a compelling reason to remain in Zone 008. Thus, during the battle, she attempted to use teleportation props to escape three times but gave up each time. The Super Evolvers in Zone 008 were nothing compared to her; as long as props and instruments were properly used, she could easily delay time and kill her target."

"...She was extremely dissatisfied with her perfunctory conversation with Xu Huo, while being particularly curious about a normal split-personality Psychic Evolver, because this was a realm she could not reach. Curiosity and dissatisfaction brought anger and murderous intent. Just like the initially arrogant Xu Huo, she was also controlled by emotions, determined to kill this kindred spirit on the spot, especially when he tried to stand in her way again..."

"...The heart Dou Shengnan released was a special item, akin to the ’Heart of the Child.’ Both could minimize the influence of other props and instruments to faithfully complete their tasks... Though Xu Huo thought the glass bead he pinched from Dou Shengnan’s eyeball seemed to have a similar function, it was not the same; it was a spiritual super prop, although acquired by chance, he couldn’t use it..."

...

"In this space, all mechanical eyes could be connected by anyone, so even the Chongming Bird Law Enforcement Team didn’t realize that while watching the battle, the images would still be faithfully transmitted to Dr. Dian’s robot not far away..."

"...When Xu Huo was nearly beaten to death, Dr. Dian took out a proclamation with the Chongming Bird pattern, a declaration against a certain type of species gene fusion experiment bearing his signature. Most names on it were quite famous in the Chongming Bird Administrative Region, but this wasn’t important because Dr. Dian’s purpose was to tear it apart..."

"Thinking he could emerge from the Black Vortex again, Xu Huo was forced to fail the mission."

"...The repeated process of drowning was actually an attempt to kill Xu Huo spiritually, stemming from the power of the super prop, also Dou Shengnan’s counterattack. As for why Dou Shengnan was so careless as to have her eye dug out, perhaps it’s a predictable outcome for someone easily angered..."

"Fortunately, the timely awakening of the childhood personality, possessing strength unknown to Xu Huo, successfully deceived the Black Sea with the core materialized item stolen from Dou Shengnan’s spiritual world, allowing Xu Huo to narrowly escape..."

"...Because of the time difference caused by crossing zones, some life-saving props became effective again. Unfortunately, when Xu Huo fell, his head hit the ground. Even after barely adjusting his posture, he still broke his limbs, lying peacefully in a mushroom field... Someone came to offer flowers, wishing him a peaceful departure..."

...

"Having a peculiar interest in this strange town, Xu Huo planned to visit the Goddess Spring mentioned by A Hai after he could walk again. Of course, while curious about others’ physical conditions, others were equally curious if he had two reproductive systems."

Ignoring the sarcasm aimed at him and the main parties involved, Xu Huo directly picked out the key points.

In light of the important events mentioned, everything else could be ignored.

Firstly, the characteristic indirectly confirmed his suspicion. Dr. Dian indeed knew the whereabouts of the declaration and tore it up, giving him the chance to leave Zone 008. Although he was too injured to take advantage of it, the change of Dr. Dian was unexpected. Unclear of the other party’s identity, it seemed the other was trying to assist him.

Secondly, regarding Dou Shengnan’s prop, not mentioning the heart, he truly did not anticipate that what he dug out was a super prop. This, like the childhood personality stealing Dou Shengnan’s core materialized item, surprised him equally, and it could even be hidden within the eye.

About Dou Shengnan’s core materialized item, the last time he used the characteristic, it only mentioned something stolen from her spiritual world without specifying what it was. This also seemed to suggest a direction for spirit evolution: ensuring spiritual power remains effective over a long term even when detached from people.

After recovery, he should thoroughly understand the true capabilities of the childhood personality.

Although severely injured, the current situation didn’t indicate a complete loss from this mission.

Obtaining Dou Shengnan’s super prop—even if he couldn’t use it now—significantly weakened Dou Shengnan’s power. The strongest support of the Guile Sound Knights would probably need to lay low for quite some time.

Though the "Time Tower" was still in Dr. Dian’s possession, he inclined towards being friendly. His position at Stellar Medical was very important.

Yet it’s unclear who the other party truly was or whether the "Time Tower" could be retrieved—these were separate matters. After recovering, he certainly planned to revisit Zone 008.

"You’re awake?" A Hai came in with a glass of water, delighting in seeing him sitting up in bed.
