Kaidan Game Train: Abide Rule or Die!
Chapter 414 Seven Days Civil Affairs Bureau

Chapter 414: Chapter 414 Seven Days Civil Affairs Bureau

"You’re just a special item, barely possessing human thought. If Uncle Fan Xiao’s body wasn’t here, how could you possibly wear his skin?" Bai Kou looked at him coldly. "Do you think I’m joking? Or do you need me to strip off your skin before you’re willing to talk?"

"I warn you, once I’ve peeled off your skin, you’ll have to revert to being a toy spider, and forget about ever being the butler of Rose Castle again."

Mr. Dong stood silently in place, his usually expressionless face darkening, as darkness crept rapidly from the corners of the castle behind him.

On the train heading to the Deep Blue Laboratory station, Xu Huo used the "Actor’s Mask" to switch to an honest and simple face; unfortunately for him, he stepped into a trap as soon as he boarded the train.

It wasn’t that someone was targeting him, but rather, he accidentally stepped into the trap set by a male gamer showing off his item to other female gamers.

When the train arrived at the station, he was directly transported to his seat. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a ring of red light gathering at his feet. Before he could react, the red light quickly shrank to his right wrist, turning into a red rope, with the other end connected to the male gamer seated next to him.

After he appeared, the other player also looked incredulous.

The dozen or so gamers in the carriage burst out laughing. Two hipster-dressed girls in the front row made faces at them, "Chu Yuan, that’s quite an interesting item you have there. The Civil Affairs Bureau, eh? Can two big men actually get married?"

Xu Huo tried to cut the rope, but the young man in the adjacent seat said, as if grieving the dead, "Stop cutting, the rope can’t be cut. It has to stay connected for at least seven days."

Xu Huo’s eyelids twitched. "You can’t retract the item?"

"I can’t..." Before the young man could finish, he saw the unsuccessful knife that was cutting the rope head toward his neck, and he quickly leaned back. "It’s no use killing me, this item is called the Seven Days Civil Affairs Bureau. Once two people are tied up, they enter a ’marital relationship’ for seven days until it’s automatically dissolved. If I die, you’ll have to drag my corpse around!"

"Wouldn’t it be fine if we just cut off the hand?" a female gamer said with a laugh, sticking out her tongue, which had a tongue stud.

"Hey, hey, could you not talk about such frightening things?" the young man hurriedly said. "How could you harm your partner’s body during a ’marriage relationship’? If you stab me with a knife, it’s like stabbing yourself. Although it won’t cut off a hand, for at least seven days you won’t be able to use your hand!"

"What will you do about the copy at that point!"

Xu Huo narrowed his eyes as if assessing the truth of his words.

"Don’t worry, big bro. I have a lie detector item here; once we use it, we’ll know whether he’s telling the truth or not." The girl with the tongue stud in the front pulled out a stone statue with a sinister face and placed it on the table. "Item, Mouth of Truth. Stick your hand inside, and if you tell a lie, it will bite your hand off. This isn’t like the Mouth of Truth used for tourists; it really will bite your hand off."

The other gamers in the carriage joined in the commotion, "What’s the big deal about biting off a hand? A real man wouldn’t shed a tear even if his dick was bitten off!"

"That’s right! Today the weather is fine, perfect for chopping off a hand! Go ahead without worry, we’ve got plenty of Self-Healing Potions to ensure a painless amputation!"

"Come on, Chu Yuan, you don’t want to be tied to a man either!"

It wasn’t just this carriage, but gamers from the ones ahead and behind were also coming over to watch the excitement, shouting all the while and even placing bets with the people around them on whether Chu Yuan would end up getting his hand chopped off.

Xu Huo noticed that most of these people had dark skin and were dressed in tropical attire. Although they didn’t know each other, they horsed around without any restraint. For a moment, he thought he had walked into a Western saloon or was dancing and singing around a campfire—it was completely different from the usual train ambiance.

Chu Yuan, being jostled by the crowd, turned red in the face, trembling as he stared at the Stone Statue’s mouth and eyes.

"No," Xu Huo pressed down on his arm, "it’s no good for me if his hand gets bitten off either."

"Tsk!" The players elongated the sound, and the girl with the tongue piercing winked at him, "Little brother is such a scaredy-cat, want me to demonstrate for you?"

After saying that, she brazenly pulled out a fake hand and placed it inside the Stone Statue while declaring, "I am a woman."

The Stone Statue had no reaction. Then she said, "I am a man."

The Stone Statue’s open mouth snapped shut, biting the fake hand off, and began to chew it crunchily. It seemed the taste wasn’t right, so after chewing a couple of times, it spat everything back onto the girl’s face.

"Haha!" The tongue-pierced girl wiped the residue from her face and said to Xu Huo, "As long as it’s a hand, real or fake, the worst you get is spat in the face! Hehe! My item sure has personality!"

But the onlookers by their side weren’t satisfied, "What’s the fun in a fake hand, we want to see a real man bleed!"

Chu Yuan promptly hid his hand under the table, "If you all want to see blood that much, do it yourself, I won’t play. It’s just being locked up for seven days..."

Before he could finish, Xu Huo had already asked the girl for a fake hand, handed it to him, and said, "Go on, it’s better to break a fake hand than a real one."

Chu Yuan, with anger on his face, was about to stand up when a burly tattooed player nearby pushed him down, "Everyone’s having such a good time, don’t be a spoilsport. This train goes straight to Sayre Coast, and there’s no getting off before that. If you don’t follow the unwritten rules among players, you know what will happen when we reach the coast, right?"

Chu Yuan’s face trembled, and he gave Xu Huo a resentful look before reluctantly placing the fake hand inside. He repeated the explained function of the item, detailing that during the item’s effective period, ’marital partners’ would both suffer if either was injured. If Xu Huo were to chop off his hand, it was uncertain whether it would nullify the item’s effect, but his own hand definitely wouldn’t heal within seven days.

Before the person involved could speak up, the bystanders placing bets weren’t happy. They moved the Stone Statue to another table, playing a game of Truth and Dare with real stakes, where any kind of question, including the most direct and private ones, could be asked. The one answering obviously didn’t mind privacy and dared to reveal anything.

However, after a few rounds, some players found it boring and deliberately answered incorrectly to wait for the Stone Statue’s bite. But these players were quite sly, using their abilities or special items to protect their hands. The Stone Statue had nothing to spit out, so it just sprayed a faceful of dust on one of them.

"Is there something special about Sayre Coast that forbids fighting on the train?" Xu Huo watched for a while before asking Chu Yuan. Chu Yuan had wanted to fight a moment ago, but he held back because of the rules. There must be some external force maintaining such jolly relations among the players on the train.

"Why should I tell you?" Chu Yuan looked defiant, nose not a nose, eyes not eyes.

"You didn’t tell the whole truth about the ’Seven Days Civil Affairs Bureau’ item, did you?" Xu Huo stared at him, "Can men really marry each other?"

This was originally just a probing statement, but Chu Yuan guiltily changed his expression, defensively saying, "In my hometown, same-sex marriage is legal."

"I can’t lay hands on you, but don’t you think of harming me either, or you won’t make it to Sayre Coast alive!"
