Kaidan Game Train: Abide Rule or Die!

Chapter 2464: Not Taking the Blame

"No." The Girl in the painting immediately said, "You’re the one with the problem.""A person whose brain isn’t troubled wouldn’t ask such questions." The female player laughed, "It seems the game’s criteria for choosing Evolvers are quite broad. Someone like you and someone like me both ended up as players."

The Girl in the painting wanted to say something more, but the other female player sitting next to her put down her book and said, "Stop asking. She has a gene disease called ’Youth.’ She stopped growing at eight or nine years old."

The Girl in the painting changed her seat, went over, and asked, "What will she look like when she gets old?"

"Naturally, she will age with this body form." The woman replied, "Wrinkles, age spots, loose teeth, all of that will happen. It’s not eternal youth."

"And they can’t have children either."

"Normally, those with the youth disease are fewer and fewer, but they have a shared ancestor with the same gene, so occasionally, a descendant with the disease is born. That’s why they keep appearing, though they’re rare in the game."

The Girl in the painting nodded, took some of her snacks, and shared them with the female player who has the gene disease.

The other was reasonable, seeing that she was indeed a bit off, and accepted her share openly.

The female player reading seemed knowledgeable and willing to share. As she ate the snacks the Girl in the painting gave, she said, "Actually, there are many strange diseases like that in the game."

"I remember a medical case documented such an example, saying a race sometimes has people who maintain eternal youth."

"Their appearance hardly changes after becoming adults, maintaining the best appearance even until they grow old and die. Of course, their organs and bones age, but their appearance stays youthful for a long time."

"Wow!" The communicator exclaimed in amazement.

"It’s not necessarily a good thing," the female player said, "Such people often don’t live long. Their lifespan is naturally short, and some greedy people try to create gene drugs for eternal youth. They supposedly captured this race’s people, whether youthful or not, to use them as test subjects. After failing to develop the drug, the research was discontinued."

"They are really pitiful." The communicator flatly expressed sympathy.

"Indeed," the female player also felt the same, "Anything that seems beautiful comes with a cost of blood."

The Girl in the painting nodded in agreement, "I followed many people before, and they all died."

The female player paused, looked at her, a bit confused by what she meant.

"They would rob me or steal something else, and then get killed. I’d just follow whoever is still alive," The Girl in the painting explained, then touched her face with a smile, "I’m just fine, so if someone tries to rob me, they must die if they lose."

These words made everyone in the carriage turn their heads slightly, the men looking amused, and the women either angry or sympathetic.

"Who did you follow here with now?" asked the short female player.

The Girl in the painting pointed to Xu Huo’s location in the front carriage.

Xu Huo didn’t want to be blamed, so he told Bubble Bean to go and bring her back.

Bubble Bean felt like he swallowed a fly, but he had no choice, so when he opened the back carriage door, before he could speak, the female player reading stood up, pressed the Girl in the painting’s shoulder down, and said sternly, "The game’s greatest advantage is giving the weak the ability to challenge the strong. Now is different than before; you can completely escape this predicament. Do you need help? I can help you kill him and restore your freedom."

The Girl in the painting looked at her strangely, and mouthed, "I’m already free."

"Mental shackles are also a form of unfreedom," said the reading female player, "In the game, I’ve seen many beautiful races, regardless of whether they are players, they can’t escape becoming toys. Some people, even after years of abuse, become players, gain power, yet still fear or don’t want to resist those who abuse them."

"This is when they need help from others."

"How many can you help alone? In the game, the strong bullying the weak happens every moment," commented an onlooker player, "Let me remind you, the track around here is unstable. If the train gets damaged, everyone onboard is in danger."

"Helping one is one," the short female player stood by the Girl in the painting’s side, said to Bubble Bean, "You heard what she said, if you don’t want a fight, you better leave. This sister won’t go with you."

Bubble Bean’s mouth twitched, raised his hand pointing back, "I’m just here to help, she’s not going my way..."

Before he finished, Xu Huo stood behind him, turned his head aside, and said to the two female players, "It’s a misunderstanding; she’s my friend, and we’re going to play in the instance."

They both looked at the Girl in the painting, she nodded vigorously, squeezed past them to stand beside Xu Huo, pointed to his face, "Good person, good looking."

A player watching laughed, "All that good-heartedness was wasted, they’re mutually attracted."

If it was about anything else, the two female players might not believe it, but the Girl in the painting clearly also coveted others’ "beauty," it’s hard to say then.

"Could there be any real fools in the game?" the player who was advising earlier had an insightful look.

"It’s best if it’s not," the reading female player thought openly, not annoyed from being toyed with.

The short female player sat down somewhat angrily.

Xu Huo wanted to know more about gene diseases or special races, so he and the Girl in the painting stayed in this carriage.

The female player really chatted with him, "You seem interested, is it related to your previous profession?"

Xu Huo reached out to lower the Girl in the painting’s game sound a bit before saying, "I know a medical PhD, he’s made great progress in gene diseases, recently solving one gene disease, I occasionally help him search for materials."

"So that’s it," the female player said, "Gene diseases are varied, solving one only leads to another, and with medical technology constantly innovating, they are constantly evolving too, never-ending."

She gave Xu Huo a business card, "My family is in the pharmaceutical business, if you have time, you can introduce your PhD friend. You can also visit my area’s branch, all costs covered."

Xu Huo glanced at the "Ren Zhi Pharmaceuticals" logo on the card, "This company is famous in C20-001."

C20-001 happened to be his destination.

The female player also noticed and smiled, "That’s quite a coincidence, after you finish the instance, you can visit me for some fun, I really like this sister and want to show some hospitality."
