Kaidan Game Train: Abide Rule or Die!
Chapter 322: Tool Medium

Chapter 322: Chapter 322: Tool Medium

Xu Huo returned, and only then did Yan Jiayu and the others take out the collected props to distribute them, including those belonging to Dai Wenqian’s subordinates and those who had come to assassinate them this time.

The Bald Head and another surviving player had been taken away by the Special Defense Department, but their props were all scavenged.

The props they acquired were not few, but in Xu Huo’s view, they were not very practical, so after discussing, he took the Bald Head’s Golden Bell prop, and the rest were divided among Yan Jiayu and the others.

"However, the news of Brother Xu’s evolution has already spread, and there will surely be others like Hou Song, it’s not a solution to be assassinated all day and night," Yuan Yao said, worried about his own safety.

"That’s why I plan to move close to the Special Defense Department," Xu Huo said, "It’s safer than living here."

"That makes sense," Zhou Ning said. "Though the number of players has increased, we’re not at the point where we can openly challenge the government. Living near the Special Defense Department, ordinary players wouldn’t dare to cause trouble. It’s just that we have to be under constant surveillance by the Special Defense Department."

"Let them surveil," Yuan Yao said indifferently. "We’re already under surveillance living here. Moving to the door of the Special Defense Department is like having an extra security guard to watch the door! I’ll start looking for a house right now!"

"It’s getting late, let’s talk about this tomorrow," Xu Huo told everyone. "Yuan Yao and I have door-to-door rooms, either side can be occupied."

He hadn’t originally prepared that many sets of bed sheets and covers, but Yu Qingqing had stayed over before and bought many things, so there was plenty in stock.

After everyone settled down, Xu Huo returned to his room, took out the Silent Figurine and placed it on the bed, then he took out the prop "World in the Painting".

As soon as he came out, Brother Tu couldn’t wait to take a deep breath.

After waiting for two seconds, Xu Huo said, "You only have ten minutes of airtime, let’s talk again."

Seeing the Silent Figurine, Brother Tu snorted, "So they all did die by your hand."

"It’s very normal for murderers to have their day of being killed," Xu Huo placed the painting on the cabinet, sat at the end of the bed with his hands clasped together, "Concerning Super Evolution, do you have anything else to say?"

"I don’t know much, I’ve said all I could," Brother Tu said. "The process of Super Evolution cannot be replicated, so rather than thinking you can promote evolution yourself, you’re better off finding a couple more bottles of Evolution Potion."

Having been to the Mist Area Hospital and the answers he obtained in the game, Xu Huo understood that there was a certain randomness and an extremely high risk to Super Evolution, but he now wanted to know more than just the principles.

The game had given him two major directions for Super Evolution, and he should be classified under the self-control direction.

"There should be mental aspects to Super Evolution as well," he asked. "What state is one in after a mental evolution?"

"I don’t know," Brother Tu was quite straightforward.

Xu Huo raised an eyebrow, stood up, and walked to the door. He tapped lightly on the door panel, and the Girl in the Painting floated in from under the door crack, instantly turning into human form.

Xu Huo pointed at the painting, and she excitedly squeezed into it.

The picture did not feature an extra person, but Brother Tu’s face became even more abstract. His mouth was open without making a sound, his eyes darted rapidly within the painting, desperately trying to struggle out, but he couldn’t break free from the power of the prop, and besides, the Girl in the Painting was inside; she could come and go freely, so from time to time, she would reach out and push him back in.

After a while, the Girl in the Painting came out, downtrodden and typed, "I failed, I couldn’t ball him up."

"Which way did you try to ball him up?" Xu Huo asked without changing his expression.

"From behind," the Girl in the Painting said. "But I saw on TV, some people can ball up and roll around."

"That requires exceptional talent to do well, does he look like someone with such talent?" Xu Huo pointed at Brother Tu’s abstract face. "If you try to ball him up from the front, maybe his mouth could kiss his own ass."

The Girl in the Painting’s eyes lit up, and she immediately sought to put the theory into practice.

"Are you guys fucking human anymore!" Brother Tu couldn’t help but roar. "I am a person, not dough!"

The Girl in the Painting was startled by his yelling and then collapsed beside the bed, crying with red eyes and looking pitifully at Xu Huo.

"Let her ball you up, as long as the person doesn’t die, it’s fine," Xu Huo then turned to the person in the painting. "See you in six hours."

The Girl in the Painting dried her tears and stood up.

"No! Please!" Brother Tu hastily said. "You want to know if there is such a thing as a mental Super Evolution, right? As far as I know, it’s very rare, and even if one does evolve, it’s not much help in actual combat because if you don’t reach a certain degree, one’s spirit simply cannot affect others."

Xu Huo certainly knew this. Compared to before, after Super Evolution, he could only put a certain mental pressure on others but could not affect their mental state, let alone that state in Mist Area Hospital where one could freely change "reality."

"Is there no other way?" he asked.

"Of course, there is," Brother Tu said. "If there’s this kind of evolution, how could there not be corresponding props? As long as you get a prop that can expand your mental influence, you can affect reality."

"The Guile Sound Knights’ Dou Shengnan became a well-known Hypnotist at the E27 Wormhole Point using this method."

"Dou Shengnan... the high-level player who can command people to commit suicide." Xu Huo had a fresh memory of this person.

"I didn’t think you’d know about her," Brother Tu said. "She is by far the most successful case of mental Super Evolution. It’s said she has a very powerful prop, hence whatever she says can become reality; getting someone to slit their wrists or jump off a building is child’s play for her. She can order you to do things without your knowledge, and you won’t even realize you’re hypnotized, thinking it’s your own idea."

Xu Huo frowned slightly, "Can closing off senses block the influence?"

Brother Tu let out a cold laugh, "At her level, you think you’re immune just by not listening or looking? That’s impossible."

In Sea City’s battle, he had managed to avoid Dou Shengnan’s hypnosis by blocking his senses, and now he had undergone Super Evolution himself, having an actual sense of mental influence. After mental strengthening, he should be able to affect others without the use of language and visuals. Then why hadn’t Dou Shengnan succeeded at that time?

The other high-level players might have ways to counter it, but at the time, he was just a Level E Player without the corresponding props, taking a mere chance.

At that time, he hadn’t undergone a second evolution, so his mental strength shouldn’t have reached the stage where he could resist hypnosis, yet Dou Shengnan indeed hadn’t affected him... There must be some other reason.

"I don’t believe that any player is utterly powerless in front of her," Xu Huo continued. "There must be a way to counter her."

"Maybe there is, but I don’t know. Really, I don’t," Brother Tu said. "The Guile Sound Knights smuggle arms and supplies between gaming districts. I’ve heard of a rebel organization that wanted to betray them, but in less than half a day, the entire group was annihilated; their heads were turned in for bounty. One third of the high-level players in those ranks blew their own brains out, and many others died by their own people’s bullets."
