They were heading to a company in Deep City to collect debts.
Wen Xishu immediately understood that as the New Year approached, there were workers who hadn’t been paid. So, they took the train to headquarters to demand their wages.
Such things were not uncommon.
Wen Xishu actually felt sympathy for these people, but he didn’t use the kindness card in his hand immediately.
"In Deceit Tower, danger and reward are directly proportional... This round, I better not deal cards to others, except for the old man, because I must prepare in advance for the pursuers from Evil Land."
"As for the others, my task in this round is to determine whether they are good or evil."
"But to stick or not to stick... whom to stick depends on the difficulty of the eerie compartments."
Thinking of this, Wen Xishu retreated to the last row and asked the police officer:
"Do I have to stick the good and evil cards in this compartment?"
"Of course not, but please use up all the good and evil cards before you reach compartment 012," the officer replied.
The attitudes of the three officers had slightly changed, with a slight smile in their serious expressions.
This was because Wen Xishu had correctly placed a kindness card not long ago.
Wen Xishu understood.
"Compartment 01, Compartment 04, Compartment 08, Compartment 012..."
"These compartments won’t have monsters and are compartments where information can be obtained and dialogues triggered."
"Then next, Compartment 05, Compartment 06, Compartment 07, Compartment 09, Compartment 10, Compartment 11..."
"These six compartments have six eerie scenes. After I experience these six eerie scenes... the remaining compartments 13, 14, and 15 are theoretically the hardest."
"But if I manage to identify the most difficult three villains before then, I can pass smoothly."
Theoretically, violent clearance is also possible. But Wen Xishu didn’t intend to clear the round with violence.
He wanted to get the invitation card.
He wanted to find out who the qualified person was this time.
Wen Xishu began to inquire about the past of the female internet celebrity.
The response was bizarre and niche, making him feel like it was information that seemed like Chinese but wasn’t.
"Xiaowang never expected I would find a condom in the trash bin. He was cautious, but I was persistent! Persistent people should get rewarded! I used a syringe to extract the liquid from the condom."
Wen Xishu desperately wished for a pair of eyes that hadn’t read this information.
This female internet celebrity... her eerie scene must be terrifying.
After all, she’s quite perverted at heart. But you have to admit, in order to conceive a rich man’s child and achieve class transition, she indeed went all out.
But this person... is she good or evil? Did she do other things in the process?
After thinking for a moment, Wen Xishu decided not to stick a card.
Unlike Compartment 01, all the information of the people in Compartment 04 was more specific and complete than in Compartment 01.
So if I make it to Compartment 08, the clues of the train passengers should be even clearer.
Who knows...
There might be a shocking twist inside.
For this reason, Wen Xishu didn’t stick a card and continued to only ask for information.
Next, Wen Xishu started questioning the two robbers.
Wen Xishu didn’t ask about their past but instead about their destination.
"We can get off at any time, just waiting for a command."
"He probably wouldn’t lie to us... he wouldn’t dare!"
Obviously, these two robbers had accomplices on the train.
"Who could it be? And who is the qualified one... which one on the train is it?"
Wen Xishu looked towards the small businessman analyzing stocks with a tri-fold screen.
"The company’s stock has been rising recently, it better not fall. I heard rumors about not paying workers lately, hope it’s false."
Based on this information, Wen Xishu thought that this small businessman didn’t seem bad enough to be labeled ’evil’,
but the weird part is—
He just learned two people were going to Deep City to collect unpaid wages,
then he immediately saw a boss mentioning unpaid wages recently.
Isn’t that too coincidental?
In Deceit Tower, when you think something is too coincidental, there’s always a catch.
Wen Xishu felt an unsettling feeling in his heart.
"Two workers want to collect their pay... it’s likely their target is in the same compartment, almost like it was deliberately arranged."
"And then there’s that family of three, in a standard volcano-about-to-erupt state, conflict could break out anytime."
"And then the female internet celebrity... looking like she’s about to wreck herself."
"There’s also a human trafficker on board."
"So many ’stories’ gathered together, is it a coincidence?"
Wen Xishu looked at the college couple.
He asked about their past.
"Four years, Duoduo and I have been together for four years. When we go to the concert, I should finally be able to hold her hand, right? Maybe... maybe even kiss her! Just thinking about it makes me excited!"
What?
Four years, brother, and you’re still working on holding hands?
Wen Xishu realized there were too many problematic people on the train. Sure enough, the female student’s past experience was completely different.
"That conductor is so handsome, I’ll get his contact info when my boyfriend isn’t looking. Perhaps before leaving Deep City... we can have a wonderful night."
"But... will the master find out? The master is sitting in the compartment, he doesn’t even look at me."
What? x2.
Wen Xishu knew college girls could be wild, and college boys too...
But he didn’t know, even with the end approaching, they could be this wild.
With a boyfriend who hasn’t held hands in four years beside her, thinking about a one-night stand with the tall, handsome conductor, while completing the master’s mission on the train?
