Chapter 192: The Truth Behind the Red Traffic Light, Clues to the Salvation Society
The Train Demon roams through the time tunnel.
A figure wearing a tailcoat and a dark red mask is lying sideways on the top of one of the carriages.
The Black Cocoon does not rush into the carriage but silently admires the bizarre and colorful temporal turbulence.
At this moment, the scenery of the whole world is presented in this space like stacked mirrors, dizzyingly dazzling.
He uses Restraint Sensing to observe the train's remaining two carriages, confirming that there are no other figures besides the Ghost Train Corps.
But conservatively, he decides to wait a bit longer.
He thought, "Maybe soon the Salvation Society will suddenly appear, snatching the red traffic light and genius diapers together, then I'll only be able to meet Sister at the Salvation Society base."
The Black Cocoon yawns, opens the character panel, and glances at the available points.
[Current number of "Skill Points" held by Unit No. 1: 1]
[Current number of "Attribute Points" held by Unit No. 1: 1]
He raises a hand to scratch his metallic jaw and quickly allocates the only attribute point.
[Your Unit No. 1 "Black Cocoon" has changed "Strength" attribute: B++ level → A level (the strength of your "restraint belt" will also increase accordingly)]
[Current Character Attributes of Unit No. 1: Strength (determines physical quality): A level; Speed (determines neural reaction): A level; Spirit (determines spirit strength): C+ level]
"For now, there are two A levels, maybe Catastrophe Level has each attribute at S level or A++ level?"
Next, he opens the Skill Tree panel and roughly glances at it.
He sees that the skills [Incarnation Enhancement], [Restraint Chainsaw], [Superpower Overload] on the three branches all require at least 2 Skill Points to unlock, yet he only has 1 Skill Point, so he temporarily sets it aside.
Thus, the Black Cocoon switches back to the system panel, flips to the last page, and presses the option [Create New Game Character]. This option is written in pure blood-red color, unlike other options.
He raises a finger to poke it, and a series of text prompts immediately pop up.
[Current progress of split not completed, unable to create a new game character.]
[Tip: Creating a new game character requires Split Points: 15 (You currently only have 7 Split Points; once you gather a total of 15 Split Points, you can create the next "game character" in the Real World)]
"Looks like the next unit will have to wait until the Year of the Monkey or Horse," thought the Black Cocoon. "Currently, the initial strength of my three units is gradually increasing, with Yaguba being significantly stronger than Chess Player and Black Cocoon's initial state, so as it seems... maybe the next unit's initial strength will directly head towards 'Catastrophe Level.'"
Having achieved such results in less than a month, he couldn't even imagine if given a year, to what realm these units might develop?
But the problem is, he doesn't have that much time.
By September at the latest, he must take down the Salvation Society. As it stands, the Salvation Society is the strongest and most mysterious organization in this world; defeating them is very challenging, but Ji Minghuan has confidence and must have the confidence to accomplish this.
"Been hiding for so long, shouldn't be any problem. If there really is someone hiding in the carriage, then I'll die for the Salvation Society to see," muttered the Black Cocoon, peeling off the transparent restraint belt covering his whole body, then shuffling his butt to sit at the edge of the carriage top, reaching out a restraint belt to pull open the door.
Gripping the top wall of the carriage, his figure falls down, entering the brightly lit carriage.
"Hi, everyone, haven't seen you all night, did you start to miss me?"
The Black Cocoon stands with hands on hips, slowly raises his head, looking at the four people inside the carriage.
What responds to him is a look of disdain.
Su Zimai speaks up, "I thought you'd died somewhere, turns out you were hiding on the roof all along?"
The Black Cocoon shakes his head, "No choice, the situation is special, I have to be a bit cautious."
"So, Mr. Black Cocoon, have you observed what's happening on site?" Ke Qirui asks.
"Of course, you guys must be very shocked, right?"
Ke Qirui nods, replying in a tone of irritability, "That boy with the handheld console is a monster, and the girl on the Somersault Cloud is a monster among monsters... as for the other three kids, I haven't seen their abilities yet."
She pauses, "But since they're together, it indicates they're definitely not ordinary."
"Naturally."
"So, can you explain to us now, who exactly are they?" Ke Qirui asks. "I noticed the collars on their necks and the codes on their hospital gowns; there must be a larger organization behind them."
"No, I still can't tell you." Black Cocoon says.
If what happened in the morning had not occurred, Xu Sanyan might feel impatient with this man who speaks in riddles. But having witnessed the abilities of those monstrous kids, he doesn't even want to hear the name of this organization to avoid getting involved in trouble.
Ke Qirui is silent for a moment, "For the consideration of our safety, right?"
"Right."
"Well, you're quite considerate." Su Zimai snorts coldly.
The Black Cocoon says lightly, "After all, I promised your brother I would protect you well."
Su Zimai hesitates.
"Her brother?" Ke Qirui raises an eyebrow, asking curiously.
She turns to look at Su Zimai, who avoids her gaze.
"It's nothing, don't listen to his nonsense." Su Zimai says softly, "This guy loves stirring up trouble."
