Chapter 400: 186: Library of the Gods
The train was about to arrive, marking the end of a long fourteen-day journey.
Zhou Baiyu was not worried, wondering if his companions might think he had perished during the fourteen days.
After all, their experiences in the Land of No Light had drastically increased their acceptance of the time it took to complete a conscription journey.
Huang Miu started to feel nervous.
"We're finally arriving, damn it, I regret it, Jiang Xianwu, I still want to be in a place full of tits."
Zhou Baiyu laughed and said,
"It's too late to regret now, it's been a pleasure working with you. At last, I have successfully delivered you to your destination, thereby completing my mission as well."
Huang Miu's expression became more serious.
The things Jiang Xianwu had done along the way definitely made him feel protected.
Huang Miu had always known his own fate was astonishingly good.
At certain stages, there would always be a benefactor who helped him overcome difficulties.
Jiang Xianwu's sudden appearance was just another repetition of this pattern.
But for some reason, although this journey wasn't as thrilling as the Nightmare Bridge, his impression of Jiang Xianwu was much deeper than of those people at the Nightmare Bridge.
Huang Miu said, "I should be the one thanking you. Without you, boarding this train, I wouldn't have survived past the first car."
"By the way, are you going to leave now?"
Huang Miu had a premonition that Jiang Xianwu might disappear suddenly after saving him, just like those people before.
Zhou Baiyu did not answer this question.
Of course, he very much wanted to visit the Divine Library, but whether he would finish the mission and return to the transfer station or have the chance to go to the Divine Library was still uncertain.
...
The conductor Number Two appeared promptly.
Although he had just announced that the train was arriving at the station, it did not stop.
From the view outside the window, the train was still in a strange space.
"Please follow me. There are some last-minute instructions I need to give you."
Conductor Number Two made an inviting gesture.
Unlike Conductor Number One, although Number Two was leading the two of them along the same path,
Zhou Baiyu noticed that after leaving the car, they did not enter the next car, which was the VIP car. Instead, following Conductor Number Two, they came to another car.
"Number One is really in charge here on the train, I'm just responsible for providing guidance and pointing out the rules."
"Following different conductors triggers different events."
"I was the one serving you when you boarded the train, so it's only fitting I serve you as you leave."
"After the golden door appears, just pass through it. The car you are in now is the one for exiting the train."
Zhou Baiyu remembered that the man in the black cloak did not go through this process.
But perhaps that was related to the man in the black cloak being excessively powerful?
Now, he and Huang Miu were in a car with only a grand golden door. The car was clean and tidy, void of any facilities. There was just the bare car and a door, not even a window.
Conductor Number Two, with a smiling face, said:
"The door will open soon. Before that, I have a few more words to say."
"In this world, apart from the very few who possess a special passenger medal granted by the trainmaster and can call the train from anywhere..."
"Others can only take the train from fixed platforms guided by the train's spirit."
"But just because there's a platform where you boarded doesn't mean there will be one where you disembark."
"The train only takes you to your destination, but the destinations... vary widely. Some people want to go to a place with endless buns to eat."
"Others have encountered people wanting to go to a place where life and death intersect..."
"None of these places have platforms."
"In other words, after you arrive at your destination, it may be very far from any platform, so far that... you might never reach one in your lifetime."
These were kind words of caution from Conductor Number Two.
Huang Miu's heart began to flutter.
Clearly, the train platform would not be built inside the Divine Library.
So this meant if he chose to get off, he might have to spend a lifetime in the world where the Divine Library was located.
This world might be the Advanced World or maybe even a place worse than the Advanced World.
Although Huang Miu considered his fate to be extraordinarily lucky... frankly, whose luck lasts forever?
"Alright, that's all I have to say, although it really doesn't help your situation much."
"Unless you have a medal, but that thing is a real treasure."
Zhou Baiyu was quite calm,
Clearly, the difference between Conductor Number Two and Number One was substantial.
Number Two didn't know... the treasure he mentioned was already in Zhou Baiyu's possession.
"The door is open. Gentlemen, you have reached the end of your journey, please disembark. I hope to see you again in the future."
Conductor Number Two displayed a standard service smile.
Zhou Baiyu and Huang Miu, looking at the golden door bathed in rays of light, Huang Miu made an inviting gesture.
He was somewhat fearful of the world outside the door.
If Jiang Xianwu could walk in front, he wouldn't be so afraid.
At the same moment, additional information emerged in Zhou Baiyu's mind.
[Mission evaluation: SSS grade.]
[Mission completion message: Congratulations on passing the train trial and obtaining a crucially important treasure, you have established a deeper connection with the train's power.
Now, choose whether to continue the mission, reach the destination, and establish a new mission with the escorted target.
