Quite sincere, Wen Xishu also felt that Yue Yun was the most hardworking person. Hardworking people are the ones who crave talent the most.
Wen Xishu trusts Ah Miao, and also trusts Old Zheng.
Even if Nissen were here, Wen Xishu would trust Nissen too. He also firmly believes that his friendship with Yue Yun is not inferior to that with Nissen.
But if Nissen were replaced by Yue Yun, Wen Xishu really has no assurance... what Yue Yun would ultimately choose.
"Ten seconds."
Wei Ping’an showed a look of regret on his face, as if he was about to bid farewell to Wen Xishu.
But Wen Xishu was still thinking, very calmly.
Actually, Wen Xishu felt that he shouldn’t trust anyone.
Yes, he shouldn’t trust Ah Miao, shouldn’t trust Old Zheng, and certainly not Nissen or Yue Yun.
But inexplicably, he was very calm now.
So calm that he himself felt a bit surprised.
As if he was internally convinced of something he shouldn’t believe in.
"Five seconds."
...
...
Room 02.
"Five seconds." Wei Ping’an’s tone was full of temptation.
At this moment, beads of sweat had appeared on Yue Yun’s forehead. He really struggled for a long time.
Finally, when Wei Ping’an was about to start the countdown with three, two, one...
Yue Yun gritted his teeth and said:
"Shut up. I give up."
Wei Ping’an was stunned for a moment, as this was an answer that surprised him quite a bit.
He was planning to continue persuading, but Yue Yun said:
"One more word, and I’ll kill you!"
Yue Yun’s ruthless aura was somewhat similar to Xun Hui’s.
Wei Ping’an thought for a moment and said:
"I need a reason."
Yue Yun wiped the sweat off his forehead, and at this moment, he finally relaxed.
His expression remained cold:
"Dao Heart."
"Dao Heart?" Wei Ping’an did not expect to hear such a term.
Yue Yun said:
"I know that my future path won’t go as far as Wen Xishu’s, his talent is very tempting to me."
"If I were to say that my relationship with him has reached the level of absolute trust, it might still be a bit too early. Even though we have fought side by side more than once."
"I crave that kind of talent, but falling on Wen Xishu, his will would be very strong, because it originally belongs to him."
"But falling on me, I wouldn’t."
Wei Ping’an understood.
A person who betrays his friends for glory, how can he talk about Dao Heart? How can he talk about advancing further at all?
Yue Yun could not accept that his talent was stolen, fearing that in the future, he wouldn’t be at peace even in sleep and food.
Wei Ping’an felt some admiration.
Zheng Zai and Ah Miao, although they made their decisions much faster than Yue Yun, the process of Yue Yun overcoming his inner demons made Wei Ping’an feel that Yue Yun’s character was nobler.
"What a pity, Mr. Yue Yun. May I say so... of course, I might change my words soon."
Yue Yun said:
"What do you mean?"
Wei Ping’an did not speak, but patiently waited for dozens of seconds.
In these silent decades of seconds, Yue Yun’s heart was also pounding. It’s impossible to say he wasn’t afraid of death.
But eventually, his heartbeat gradually calmed down.
Wei Ping’an finally said:
"For the second time in history, there’s no ’Apostle’ at the end of the train."
"Congratulations, you all survived."
Yue Yun was first shocked, then overjoyed.
"You mean, everyone’s decision was to give up?"
Wei Ping’an nodded:
"Yes, they all gave up. It’s really unexpected, especially you, Mr. Yue Yun, you made me see you in a new light."
...
...
Room 01.
Wei Ping’an stood up and bowed to Wen Xishu.
Wen Xishu actually never said the words "I refuse", he was just thinking all along...
When did I begin to change?
But seeing Wei Ping’an stand up, Wen Xishu suddenly smiled:
"It seems our fate ends here."
Wei Ping’an shook his head:
"The first step of the Dragon Hide Plan is to screen for Apostles who desire to become stronger and have excellent qualifications, although..."
"Mr. Wen Xishu, you have great charisma; all your companions gave up, they were all willing to die for you."
Wen Xishu felt quite moved inside:
"So your plan was actually fake? You were testing us?"
Wei Ping’an shook his head again:
"No, it was real. If you agreed, then you would no longer be ’one of that world’."
"You would become one of our most powerful Apostles. I have great confidence that you would surpass other Apostles and make all Apostles a part of your deity... "
"I actually truly regret it."
"But honestly, I am also proud of you and your team. Having such companions is really not easy. Your relationship with the Dragon Hide Plan isn’t that deep..."
"But I hope, one day in the future, we can cooperate again. Maybe you think this plan is evil. But... we have no other way."
"Finally, as a rare team to clear the train symbiotically, you and your companions will receive our gift."
"I think you should leave now."
Yes, at this point Wen Xishu also received a notification that the task was completed.
Whirlpool No. 2, Maze Train, all the causes and consequences had been experienced.
"Please say hello to Mr. Jin for us; tell him... avoidance is meaningless."
Wei Ping’an bowed again.
Wen Xishu was greatly surprised by this last sentence.
At the same time, all the rooms suddenly vanished.
The huge "conference hall" and all the rooms transformed back into their original train carriage forms.
[Congratulations on reaching the final platform, wishing you a pleasant journey.]
Wen Xishu turned around and saw the unconscious Xiaojin, and Nissen who was trying to stand up.
He also saw Yue Yun covered in sweat, and Zheng Zai with a silly grin, as well as Ah Miao looking slightly worried.
Everyone suddenly realized...
We are all still here after all.
Yue Yun looked at Wen Xishu with a complicated expression, but in the end, usually unsmiling and fond of a cold stance, Yue Yun grinned:
"Wen Xishu, we won."
Wen Xishu also knew that it wasn’t easy for Yue Yun to make such a decision. He ultimately didn’t sacrifice anyone, not because of his friendship with Yue Yun.
But because of betting on the items he had on himself. Wen Xishu wasn’t confident in Yue Yun, but confident in himself.
But now, looking at Yue Yun, Wen Xishu realized he had truly made a friend.
He also smiled and said:
"Yes, we won. See you later in the Bunker."
