“I…” Earth-Sheep was stunned, then looked at Earth-Dog, “Don’t talk nonsense. Where would I have a different plan?”

After hearing this, Earth-Tiger also felt something was odd.

“Old Black… what are you scheming?” He approached Earth-Sheep step by step, “Although I often want to kill you, I know you don’t have any malicious intent… but now… what are you thinking?”

“I…” Earth-Sheep was completely at a loss for words. Before coming to this room, he hadn’t anticipated today’s developments, so he hadn’t even prepared his story.

“Do you want to sell me out?” Earth-Tiger asked.

“Stop fucking talking nonsense.” Earth-Sheep cursed, “If I wanted to get rid of you, I’d definitely fight you openly and fairly. What would informing on you count as?”

“Then I’m a bit confused…” Earth-Tiger looked at Earth-Sheep as if looking at a criminal, making Earth-Sheep feel uncomfortable all over, “What is it that you can’t tell me? What does ‘you can neither leave nor rebel’ mean?”

“I can’t say.” Earth-Sheep said, “There are other circumstances to this matter, so I really can’t say.”

“So you really are hiding something from me…” Earth-Tiger frowned, moving his big face close to Earth-Sheep, “Is it related to Brother Sheep?”

Earth-Sheep’s expression also became heavy. He said in a deep voice: “Pei Qianhu, if you’re really thinking of Brother Sheep, you absolutely can’t cause trouble now.”

“What…?”

“Brother Sheep has his own arrangements. Touch that sponge-like brain of yours and ask yourself honestly—whose plan is more reliable, yours or Brother Sheep’s?”

“What the fuck are you talking about…” Earth-Tiger’s whiskers moved slightly, “Do you even believe what you’re saying? If Brother Sheep really is ‘Heavenly,’ how do you know his plan? If Brother Sheep isn’t ‘Heavenly,’ how could he arrange a plan for himself?”

“In any case, I just know.” Earth-Sheep answered very seriously, “If you two really want to rebel, I’d rather fight you both right now.”

Earth-Tiger knew Earth-Sheep’s temperament. For Earth-Sheep to dare say this in this situation, he was probably set in his decision.

Seeing that Earth-Tiger had fallen silent, Earth-Sheep turned to look at Earth-Dog: “Dog, are you really going to go along with Pei Qianhu?”

“I don’t care who I go along with…” Earth-Dog raised his eyes and said, “My thinking is even simpler than Tiger’s. As long as I can find a way to make the ‘Heavenly’ position vacant… then I’ll have no choice but to be promoted, right?”

As soon as this was said, both Earth-Tiger and Earth-Sheep froze simultaneously.

“Your target is ‘Heavenly-Dog’…?” Earth-Tiger asked.

“Isn’t it obvious?” Earth-Dog gradually revealed a lazy expression, “What you call ‘rebellion’—isn’t it killing your own direct superior? This way we have an extremely high probability of becoming ‘Heavenly.’ If there are still obstacles, we’ll kill other similar ones too…”

Earth-Sheep turned to interrupt: “Hey, if ‘Zodiac fratricide’ isn’t handled properly, what we’ll face won’t just be other ‘Zodiacs’… What will you do if you alarm ‘Baihu’?”

“Ha…” Earth-Dog suddenly revealed a meaningful smile, “That’s right, Xuanwu is in charge of ‘maintaining fairness,’ Zhu Que is in charge of ‘judging Zodiacs,’ Baihu is in charge of ‘mediating fratricide’… but have you noticed a problem?”

“What problem?” The two turned to look at him.

“Is ‘Baihu’… on this train?”

“Huh?” Earth-Tiger was slightly stunned, “What do you mean? ‘Baihu’… didn’t board the train?”

“Have any of you seen that legendary ‘Baihu’?” Earth-Dog asked, “What does he look like? Which car is he in now?”

The two wanted to find a reason to refute Earth-Dog, but upon careful thought, it did seem rather strange.

If it involved “fairness,” whether participants killed to seize “Dao” or triggered life-or-death gambles with Zodiacs, Xuanwu would descend from the heavens to maintain the fairness of the event.

If it involved “violations,” whether “Zodiacs” violated rules or “participants” violated rules in human-level games attempting to kill human-level “Zodiacs,” Zhu Que would definitely appear to execute judgment.

But when it came to “Zodiac fratricide,” perhaps because “Zodiacs” valued their lives more than any participant, the most serious incident that had occurred on this train so far was nothing more than “brawls.”

This also meant that for a very long time, “Baihu” had never appeared.

But speaking of which… if “Baihu” wasn’t on the train, wouldn’t the “Zodiacs'” situation be very dangerous?

“I feel like you’ve been infected by Pei Qianhu…” Earth-Sheep said, “Not seeing it means it doesn’t exist? You should know that even if you’re lucky enough to clash head-on with ‘Heavenly-level,’ you absolutely cannot touch the ‘Divine Beasts.’ Even if there’s a one percent chance of provoking ‘Baihu,’ I absolutely cannot take that risk.”

“That’s right…” Earth-Tiger nodded after hearing this, “If we really have to confront a ‘Divine Beast’… the three of us alone definitely won’t work. We’d need even stronger helpers…”

“Hey! What do you mean ‘the three of us’? When did I decide to join?” Earth-Sheep said, “Didn’t you understand what I said just now? Brother Sheep has arrangements. Don’t act on your own!”

Earth-Tiger blinked and raised his head to look at Earth-Sheep.

“Why are you looking at me?”

Earth-Tiger revealed a fang and suddenly laughed out loud: “Old Black, I suddenly thought of something very interesting.”

“What?”

“Since you keep saying ‘Brother Sheep has arrangements,’ then theoretically he should have told you something before he became ‘Heavenly-Sheep,’ right?”

“Yes.” Earth-Sheep nodded in agreement.

“You and I both know what kind of person Brother Sheep is… I also don’t think I’m any worse than you…” Earth-Tiger said.

“What do you mean?” Earth-Sheep asked back.

“What I mean is… if things are truly as you say, and everything now was planned in advance by Brother Sheep, but he deliberately never disclosed anything to me, then could it be… that my ‘rebellion’ is also within his plan?”

Hearing this, both Earth-Sheep and Earth-Dog widened their eyes simultaneously.

Yes, controlling people’s hearts at his fingertips—this was too much like something he would do.

“It’s precisely because Brother Sheep knows my impulsive nature that once I discover he didn’t become ‘Heavenly-Sheep,’ I’ll definitely go find ‘Heavenly-Dragon’ to get answers. And if I steel my heart, I might be able to throw the entire train into chaos…” Earth-Tiger then raised his head to look at Earth-Sheep and said seriously, “He knows you and I are mortal enemies. The more you obstruct me, the more rebellious I’ll become. So regarding this matter… he only told you alone.”

“Absurd…” Earth-Sheep moved his lips slightly.

Although he was denying it with his mouth, in his heart he felt this was simply Baiyang’s true plan.

“Isn’t now the best opportunity?” Earth-Tiger smiled, “I don’t care what Brother Sheep told you… I’m going to start my own plan.”

“So you’re going to kill your direct superior ‘Heavenly-Tiger’?” Earth-Dog asked from the side.

“Not necessarily…” Earth-Tiger’s eyes turned cold, “My ultimate target isn’t my direct superior… but my direct superior’s direct superior…”

“You mean Heaven…” Earth-Dog didn’t say it out loud. He just swallowed and then lowered his voice to ask, “Are you insane? The target of the ‘rebellion’ you’re talking about is ‘Dragon’?!”

“Otherwise what would it be called ‘rebellion’?” Earth-Tiger smirked wickedly.
