Kaidan Game Train: Abide Rule or Die!-Chapter 2218: Evolution of Mutant Plants

Shortly after he finished speaking, round bulges began to rise on the walls of the Inquiry Hall, not only moving quickly but also struggling outward repeatedly, as if trying to break through the wall.

"Don’t put on this acrobatics show, I know I’m not in the instance." Xu Huo said, "It’s said that charity expects no return, but I was about to leave, and you’re pulling this trick, it’s somewhat unreasonable."

As soon as he finished speaking, the eye beneath the wall slowed down its movement, slowly drifting towards the position directly facing the Inquiry Hall’s door, gradually converging into a larger round object. In just a few seconds, the round shape split from the middle like an animal’s eyelid, revealing the giant orb inside.

When Xu Huo noticed the eye starting to open, he was already prepared. At the instant the eye opened, he moved outside the Inquiry Hall. However, he had not yet managed to distance himself when the surroundings changed with the spread of psychic power. In the blink of an eye, the surrounding temple scenery completely vanished, replaced by a sea of blood filled with corpses, and right in front of this sea, a mountain made of eyeballs rose skyward. As overwhelming spiritual pressure poured down, the giant eye appeared atop the mountain, rotating to gaze downwards!

Unprecedented oppression seemed to have transformed into a physical weight pressing on Xu Huo, pulling down his body, muscles, bones, and every cell, as if trying to drag him into the corpse mountain blood sea!

His gaze shifted from the giant eye ahead to his feet, and he barely managed to pull his legs out of the corpses, only to see countless eyeballs emerge from the torn bodies, flipping over and quickly adhering to his body, devouring him continuously...

"Again!" Xu Huo gritted his teeth, wielding the Secant Line and Spatial Ray Blade in a chaotic mess around him, soon reducing the corpses and eyes to mud. However, this did not allow him to escape smoothly, as there were more corpses and eyes nearby, and no matter which direction he looked out, the blood sea seemed endless!

Looking up again at the eye-covered giant mountain not far ahead, he decided not to retreat. Turning the Time Ring, he launched himself towards the giant mountain when the surrounding space froze, using Secant Line to pierce the giant eye at the fastest speed. He then divided his psychic power into numerous slender vines, injecting them inside from the position of the giant eye, completely slicing open this accumulation of psychic power from the inside!

As the mountain began to crumble, he took advantage of the momentum to retreat, skimming over the blood sea and raising two huge waves before stopping, looking at the collapsing mountain ahead, pulling out the "Little Mushroom Cloud."

The next second, the entire corpse mountain blood sea space vanished, and he still stood outside the Inquiry Hall, with an extra prop in his hand compared to before, and inside the Inquiry Hall, the giant eye was gone, replaced by a woman.

It was the same woman who had appeared in the Satellite City.

"Petals are different from petals, but it’s not worth examining the minute details." The woman faced him, her expression seemingly calm, exuding a transcendent aura. "But you are indeed different."

Xu Huo chuckled, "It seems you esteem me highly, trying all means to turn me into a fool."

"Don’t be mad, let me tell you something." The Goddess looked at him, not teasing but directly said, "On you, I sensed the aura of the same kind."

"The same kind?" Xu Huo raised an eyebrow.

The Goddess seemed to understand his thoughts, explaining, "Not a stone, but a seed."

The Goddess Replica was born relying on a Goddess Statue, although it differed somewhat from the subsequent eye, that should have been due to the instance’s chance occurrence. When Xu Huo used the Time Ring before, he also believed the Goddess had a physical body, but this answer surprised him.

The Goddess turned to face the wall, and under her control, the silhouette of a woman floated onto the wall, "Humans and stones evolve, why can’t plants evolve?"

Xu Huo immediately thought of the partition filled with spiritually attacking plants mentioned by other players. Although saying plants possess some wisdom is not absolutely impossible, thinking like humans is quite surprising.

Of course, considering that the museum director and Little Pink Hat are most likely not human either, forming a humanoid entity, a plant humanoid is not something completely beyond comprehension.

The museum director and Little Pink Hat are more like two states of the boss set in the game, with seemingly simple thinking modes, while the Goddess in this instance seems to possess higher-level thinking.

"My body is also a seed, accidentally falling into this partition, planted by Little Bud, because of her, I gained life." The Goddess’ tone was very nostalgic, although her expression did not change, "So I wished to live with her forever."

"I later helped her, proposed we live together, she agreed, but felt lonely with just the two of us, so she tricked many others to join us."

Xu Huo listened seriously, not finding it very unexpected, as many legends and stories originate from various coincidences. It’s also possible that the idea of the dual-gender who carried the statue deviated from the Goddess’ thoughts initially, and the precise details are no longer traceable, yet the idea of a human developing feelings for a plant, transmitting something whimsical and absurd, somehow stirs one’s imagination.

"Little Bud hopes I can be a real person, but that’s an impossible wish; I can only appear in human form in the instance, with my body still being a plant."

The Goddess turned back, "You’re correct; the instance has no venue restrictions, you’re not here as a player seeking clearance, you can leave anytime. But as for others, whether there are restrictions or not makes no difference, the entire partition is under my gaze. Over a hundred years, learning and imitating millions of people, my body has already covered most of this partition."

Xu Huo couldn’t help but look at the ground, then lifted his head, "The eye in the Divine Temple you gave..."

"It was cut off me by other players and dropped into the temple; I didn’t want it anymore, so I let them take it." The Goddess said, "The eye you took from the Divine Envoy will quickly die once it leaves this partition, but the eye in the box they gave you has already been forged into a prop, ready for use."

Xu Huo pondered, "You mentioned I also have mutant plants like yours."

He immediately thought of the metal box that was being rewarded, fetching it from the luggage compartment. However, the Goddess didn’t even glance over, saying, "It’s a seed, probably made into a prop."

Seed, prop?

Xu Huo took out the spirit-level super prop that he had dug out from Dou Shengnan’s eye, about the size of a flat bean.
