Chapter 332: Performing Real World Missions (4k)

Zhao Xun glanced at Shaozi, and was not surprised that Shaozi knew that there was a special person delivering food in carriage No. 1.

Shaozi was a news dealer, and it was normal for him to know more than other players.

He motioned Shaozi to sit on the sofa, and he sat on the bedside.

Shaozi sat upright and looked at Zhao Xun expectantly.

Zhao Xun stretched out his hand and gestured: "Your incense."

Shaozi immediately understood and hurriedly took out a special item incense to light it.

When the thin smoke dissipated, Zhao Xun spoke: "My current identity is..."

He tried to express it in different ways, but found that as long as he tried to mention the [Deputy Train Conductor], it was like his throat was strangled and he couldn't make a sound.

Shaozi saw Zhao Xun repeatedly moving his lips, but he didn't say a useful word, and he was a little anxious.

"What's wrong with you? Are you under a ban?" He didn't think Zhao Xun was teasing him deliberately.

Since Zhao Xun invited him into the room and looked like he had something important to tell him, he must be telling him the truth.

He couldn't say it now, it was definitely not intentional, it could only be that he really couldn't say it.

Zhao Xun frowned slightly: "It seems so."

Then, he tried to speak again: "I am the subordinate of [Train Conductor]."

This sentence was easy to say.

It seems that the identity of [Deputy Train Conductor] is more secretive than [Train Conductor], and it cannot be revealed to outsiders.

Yes, when the train rules of the old players were announced, [Deputy Train Conductor] was not mentioned, and it should be treated as a special case.

It's normal not to make it known to everyone.

I just don't know whether the identity of [Deputy Train Conductor] has some more hidden secrets than [Train Conductor].

It is impossible to know at present.

After hearing what Zhao Xun said, Shaozi opened his mouth in surprise, and he couldn't speak for a long time.

After a long while, he found his voice again: "You mean, there is already a [Train Conductor] on the Endless Train?"

He subconsciously looked at the door. Even though there was a special item to block the sound, he still lowered his voice uncontrollably: "Is it the 'Death God'?"

"Yes." Zhao Xun replied.

This time, he said it smoothly.

It seems that all information about the [Train Conductor] can be revealed.

In this way, the train broadcast does not notify that there are players who have become [Train Conductors], probably to prevent other players from finding out that becoming a [Train Conductor] still cannot get rid of the control of the Endless Train.

This will discourage many players from accumulating points.

In order to achieve the goal of becoming a [Train Conductor], most players save money and it is not easy to accumulate 10,000 points.

But if they know that the [Train Conductor] cannot completely leave the Endless Train, some players will definitely choose to give up, and there is no need to be stingy with points.

After hearing Zhao Xun's answer, Shaozi's face was already disappointed: "So, the Grim Reaper became a [Train Conductor] and left the Endless Train many times, but came back many times... The [Train Conductor] could not escape the control of the Endless Train."

His shoulders drooped, and he looked listless.

"Yes." Zhao Xun paused and looked at Shaozi, "And if a new player redeems 10,000 points to become a [Train Conductor], he must have a life-and-death duel with the old [Train Conductor]. The one who survives can become the only [Train Conductor]."

Shaozi took a breath and bent his back: "It sounds even more desperate."

He can't be the opponent of the Grim Reaper.

Becoming a [Train Conductor] is actually sending himself to death faster.

So, unless the Grim Reaper dies for other reasons, he won't even have the chance to occasionally leave the Endless Train and return to the real world.

This is... too desperate.

Zhao Xun naturally saw what Shaozi was thinking, and he said calmly: "It's not completely hopeless."

Shaozi raised his head and looked at Zhao Xun.

Zhao Xun continued: "If the God of Death dies, you will have the opportunity to become the [Train Conductor] and get the opportunity to leave the Endless Train for a while."

"The power of the God of Death is unfathomable," Shaozi sighed heavily, "Maybe I died in a survival game, and he is still alive."

This opportunity is out of reach.

Zhao Xun smiled and spoke again: "There is another way, that is, to become the [Train Conductor's] subordinate like me. My current identity requires me to follow the [Train Conductor] to perform tasks, so I can leave the Endless Train together."

Shaozi's eyes lit up, and he finally had some energy: "Now that you say that, I want to ask, how did you become the [Train Conductor's] subordinate? Were you chosen by the God of Death?"

"Coincidence." Zhao Xun tried several times before saying to Shaozi, "That's all I can say."

"You mean, you were not chosen by the Grim Reaper to be his subordinate." Shaozi had to use his brain, "But you became his subordinate, and he did not refuse. In other words, there is a way to make the Grim Reaper have to accept you as his subordinate!"

"That's about it." Zhao Xun nodded, and said, "The rest, you can only rely on yourself to collect clues."

Shaozi's special ability gives him more opportunities to get closer to the truth than others.

Even if it takes a longer time, even if these clues are "forbidden" to explore, he may understand and guess in a roundabout way, and will not be as ignorant as other players.

Shaozi looked at Zhao Xun hesitantly: "Then...then are you willing to let me use you as a carrier to collect information?"

"No." Zhao Xun refused directly.

He knew Shaozi's ability. In fact, Shaozi could explore him directly without asking for his opinion.

Since Shaozi asked this, it means that Shaozi did not want to touch him casually.

He did not want to be spied on, so it was natural to refuse.

However, seeing that Shaozi was so polite, he was willing to point out a way for Shaozi.

"In addition to the Grim Reaper, you can also try to investigate a woman named 'Han Bing'." Zhao Xun reminded.

Shaozi was stunned: "Han Bing?"

"Don't you know this player?" Zhao Xun raised his eyebrows slightly.

"I know." Shaozi nodded, "It's a pale and thin young woman. When she entered the Endless Train, she was seriously ill and could only move around in a wheelchair."

He admired this woman. Her weak body supported her until now, and her ranking has been moving forward. It can be seen that her special ability is very powerful.

But he didn't expect that this matter was actually related to Han Bing.

"She is also a subordinate of the [Train Conductor]." Zhao Xun said, "and she became a subordinate earlier than me. The useful information you can get from her should be better than mine."

"Okay, I know." Shaozi nodded solemnly.

After a moment of silence, he asked Zhao Xun: "You told me this... Is there anything you want me to do for you?"

"Not yet," Zhao Xun said very calmly, "but maybe later."

"I understand." Shaozi nodded again, "If there is anything you need me for, I will do my best to help."

Although Zhao Xun did not say it clearly, Shaozi could feel that if Zhao Xun wanted him to investigate something next, it would not be as simple as before.

Zhao Xun's ultimate goal should be to completely get rid of the control of the Endless Train and leave here completely.

Then he may need to find out the deepest secrets behind the Endless Train.

This is very risky for Shaozi.

But he is willing to do it.

Because leaving here is also his ultimate goal.

After thinking for a while, Shaozi asked again: "Can you tell me what the task of [Train Conductor] is going to perform?"

"He didn't tell me," Zhao Xun shrugged, "This month's task has not been announced yet. After the announcement, I may have to act immediately. Maybe I can tell you when I come back."

"Okay, okay." Shaozi nodded repeatedly.

After another silence for a while, he hesitated and said: "Then...if there is nothing else, I will leave first?"

He was already a little impatient to collect clues from Han Bing.

"Okay." Zhao Xun responded.

Shaozi immediately extinguished the special item incense, waited for the smoke to dissipate, opened the door and left the compartment.

Zhao Xun closed the door of the compartment and lay back on the bed.

After thinking about it, he decided to go to bed directly.

Now, he really had nothing to do, so he might as well sleep and rest.

Although he didn't know what the task was, he was sure that it was definitely not an easy job.

Then before the task, he should adjust his physical condition to the best.

*

January 3.

12 noon.

Zhao Xun had just finished a meal of Yangzhou fried rice when he heard a knock on the door.

He opened the door and saw Death and Han Bing standing outside, and immediately understood.

He stepped aside and let the two in.

Death and Han Bing didn't say anything and went straight into the room.

Zhao Xun put the empty tableware at the door and then closed the door.

When Zhao Xun sat down on the bed, Death spoke: "The mission starts at 12 o'clock tonight."

Zhao Xun raised his eyebrows slightly, but didn't say anything.

He thought that when the mission was released, it was time to act, but he didn't expect that the mission was actually released 12 hours in advance, which could be said to give them enough time to prepare.

"At twelve o'clock tonight, the system will automatically teleport us to the location where the mission is to be carried out. Before the teleportation, you need to make sure that there is no one else around you." Death continued, "There are three missions this time. You can choose to act separately, each responsible for one task, or you can choose to cooperate to complete a task and then work together on the next one."

He looked at Han Bing, then at Zhao Xun: "You choose."

He didn't like cooperation, but Han Bing and Zhao Xun became his subordinates because he had no choice.

Fortunately, the personalities of these two people didn't make him hate them.

And this time, the mission had to be decided in advance whether to cooperate or take one mission each, and the system didn't allow him to make a decision alone.

He had to ask these two people what they thought.

Han Bing frowned slightly and said, "If the mission is suitable for one person, then separate them and each person has one mission."

"Whether it is suitable for one person depends on strength, not on the content of the mission." Death said, and looked at Zhao Xun again.

To be able to become a [Deputy Train Captain] should have some strength, but whether the specific strength is strong enough to have the confidence to complete any difficulty mission alone, only Zhao Xun himself knows.

"Then each person has one mission." Zhao Xun shrugged indifferently, "I don't like teamwork like you."

Death and Han Bing subconsciously looked at Zhao Xun, and both of them were slightly surprised.

Zhao Xun said this directly, without any intention of being polite, but his expression was very calm, without resentment or dissatisfaction, as if he was just stating the facts.

And what he said was, "I am the same as you", instead of "Since you are like this, then I can only..." This made Death and Han Bing feel no disgust.

They also looked more favorable to this new member.

"Okay, then one task per person." Death said while making a choice on the pop-up window in front of him.

Then he said, "Tasks are randomly assigned by the system. Whatever task is shown in the pop-up window in front of you is the task assigned to you by the system."

As soon as he finished speaking, a pop-up window appeared in front of Zhao Xun.

[Execute the real-world task: Kill all the top leaders of District 20. 】

After reading the content of his mission, Death took the initiative to say: "My mission is to [destroy the military base of the 20th District]."

Han Bing followed up and said: "My mission is to [destroy the arsenal of the 20th District]."

Zhao Xun also reported his mission content very tactfully: "My mission is to [kill all the top leaders of the 20th District]."

While saying this, several thoughts have already turned over in his mind.

These three tasks look... more like assassination missions that only exist when there is a war between humans.

For example, other districts try to annex the 20th District.

Could it be that there is a human behind the endless train?

Zhao Xun is not willing to believe it.

Endless trains, survival games, these don't seem to be things that humans can develop.

At least with the current level of human technology, it can't be done.

In this context, it seems a bit ridiculous that the endless train is controlled by a mere human.

In Zhao Xun's heart, he is more inclined to non-human control.

Gods, demons, aliens, or Cthulhu, products of higher technology, or products of unknown energy, are more suitable.

Assuming that his guess is correct, the Endless Train is controlled by non-humans.

Then what benefits does this kind of mission bring to the "behind the scenes" of the Endless Train?

Is the chaos in the world conducive to the expansion of the "behind the scenes"?

Or is it conducive to the "behind the scenes" to strengthen their strength?

Zhao Xun glanced at Death and Han Bing calmly.

I'm afraid these two people don't know the inside story of this matter.

I just don't know if they have the intention to explore the inside story.

He knows too little about them, so let's not talk about this for now. If there is a chance, he will investigate it himself.

Death noticed Zhao Xun's gaze and looked over.

Zhao Xun asked: "Are the missions you have carried out before similar to this? Go to various districts to assassinate certain people, or destroy a certain base." (End of this chapter)
