Chapter 1255: Ticket Inspection

Ever since Heavenly-Tiger first appeared in the corridor, the other “Celestial-level” beings had also gradually begun showing themselves.

The numerous “Earth-level” beings in the corridor saw Heavenly-Horse and Heavenly-Mouse, two elderly people, cross over and were so frightened they dared not breathe loudly.

As they walked forward, they casually killed passing “Participants.” Many “Participants” never imagined that the “Celestial-level Zodiacs” standing at the apex of this place actually had such harmless faces—no one avoided them in advance.

They only knew that a pair of elderly people had begun purging all “Participants” from one side of the corridor, with cruel methods and powerful abilities that ordinary “Participants” couldn’t resist at all.

“This is truly strange…” The Heavenly-Horse old woman held a bloody human head in her hand as she walked forward, saying, “How can there be so many people?”

The Heavenly-Mouse old man covered his chest and without another word reached out to snap the neck of the “Participant” before him.

“Who knows…” He revealed his few remaining teeth and smiled unpleasantly. “Perfect for venting some anger.”

“There are too many people… I hope my little Huzi doesn’t get kidnapped…” Heavenly-Horse said with a worried expression. “Human traffickers have always been a troublesome problem. Without me holding my precious Huzi’s hand, he doesn’t know the way.”

“Doesn’t know the way?” Heavenly-Mouse looked at Heavenly-Horse with a disdainful expression. “There’s ultimately only one road on this ‘Train.'”

“But he’s still a child—what does he understand?” Heavenly-Horse sighed. “I’ve always treasured him like a precious gem. With this kind of scene now, I’m really afraid he can’t handle it.”

“What a fine ‘can’t handle it’—your precious Huzi eats corpses every day.” Heavenly-Mouse snorted coldly. “What are you planning to raise him into? A wolf?”

“You can’t say it like that…” Heavenly-Horse looked at Earth-Mouse. “Haven’t you seen that my Huzi is so thin he’s skin and bones, and never grows taller? It’s rare that there’s something he likes—let him eat whatever he wants.”

“Ha.” Heavenly-Mouse bared his teeth, and the wrinkles on his face also relaxed. “I heard before that you missed your grandson and felt a bit sympathetic, but now it seems I sympathize more with your real-world grandson.”

“You…” After hearing this, Heavenly-Horse’s expression instantly turned cold as she said in a deep voice, “What nonsense are you spouting…? Heavenly-Tiger is my grandson.”

“Fine.” Heavenly-Mouse nodded. “I was naive. You’re the one destined to live in ‘Taoyuan’ for a lifetime.”

“They wouldn’t dare not come.” Heavenly-Mouse said. “I’ve already had someone deliver a message. Rather than worrying about me, you should worry about that precious grandson of yours who shares no blood relation with you.”

Their conversation ended unpleasantly. They simply split into two sides in the corridor, continuously slaughtering “Participants.” Blood like mud gradually dyed the entire car red.

Not only were nearby “Participants” terrified, even the “Human-level” Zodiacs retreated one after another. After all, many people had never seen “Celestial-level” beings—they had difficulty figuring out what was happening now.

In the eyes of many “Human-level” beings, they even thought “Participants” were slaughtering “Participants.”

Earth-Mouse led Chu Tianqiu, Qiao Jiajin, and Zhang Shan walking along the road. From afar, they saw that pair of elderly people slowly approaching.

“Oh…” Earth-Mouse paused. “A leader has come to inspect tickets on the ‘Train.'”

After saying this, he turned to look at the three people: “Did you leaders buy tickets?”

Qiao Jiajin stared at those two people in the distance and said: “That old granny looks a bit familiar. Is she ‘Celestial-level’?”

“Exactly.” Earth-Mouse nodded. “The old lady is Leader Heavenly-Horse, and the old man is Leader Heavenly-Mouse. I suppose my emotions about betraying you have reached their peak at this moment.”

“This is already the peak?” Chu Tianqiu smiled.

“Oh, I can’t say it like that.” Earth-Mouse denied. “It’s a bit too early to call it the peak now. There are even more ‘Celestial-level’ beings behind, and above them are the ‘Twin Dragons.’ I suppose my emotions about betraying you should be like mountains rising higher than mountains.”

After hearing this, Zhang Shan was also amused: “Damn, so what do you want to do? Stand against us now?”

“Naturally not.” Earth-Mouse shook his head and also grinned, showing his mouse teeth. “You leaders are good people—capable and wise. I won’t betray you all here. To ensure I’ll never have a chance to betray you all, I suggest we part ways here.”

After saying this, he walked to one side and stood before a room door.

“Leaders, please hide in the room.” Earth-Mouse said. “I need to find a way to purge this path. I’ll handle those two things. Once I get them away, you all can head to the front of the train. The train’s front isn’t far ahead.”

After hearing Earth-Mouse’s words, the smile on Chu Tianqiu’s face slowly faded and instead became serious: “What kind of logic is this…? If we need to kill ‘Celestial-level’ beings, all three of us can help. We’ve walked all this way together—what logic is there for you to stay here alone to confront ‘Celestial-level’ beings?”

“No, no, no, Leader, you’re overstepping.” Earth-Mouse waved his hand. “How could such simple small work require you three to condescend?”

After hearing this, the three people looked at each other, not even knowing whether Earth-Mouse was showing off or being sarcastic.

“You three—two must face Qinglong, one must face Heavenly-Dragon. I really can’t compare.” Earth-Mouse said. “It’s quite good for goods like me to stay here and kill some ‘Celestial-level’ beings. You all should save your abilities for the bigger leaders.”

“Are you sure?” Chu Tianqiu said with a frown. “Those are two ‘Celestial-level’ beings.”

“Of course.” Earth-Mouse nodded. “Besides, this was our original plan anyway—all rebelling ‘Zodiacs’ and ‘Celestial-level’ beings engage in ‘Position-Based Killing.’ Since Heavenly-Mouse came, this was always my job.”

“Position-Based… Killing?” After hearing this, Chu Tianqiu paused. “Dispersing combat power everywhere, weakening them before confronting ‘Celestial-level’ beings—this doesn’t sound like Qi Xia’s plan.”

“Yo, you saw through it, Leader? Couldn’t even fool you?” Earth-Mouse smiled. “‘Position-Based Killing’ is purely a stinking, silent fart. You feel disgusted when you hear it, and when you don’t hear it you wonder who let it. Don’t you think so?”

“I can’t say.” Chu Tianqiu shook his head. “Since there’s no such thing as ‘Position-Based Killing,’ why do you insist on sending yourself to a dead end?”

Upon hearing this question, Earth-Mouse’s gaze gradually turned cold and stern. Everyone felt as if he had become a different person.

Qiao Jiajin also said somewhat anxiously from the side: “That’s right, Big Mouse. If you have something to say, just say it. Aren’t we friends now?”

The two words “friends” made Earth-Mouse’s expression change again, as if silently tearing apart the mask on his face.

“Leader, that might be the most laugh-less thing I’ve heard in ‘Taoyuan.'”
