Reverse flow of the Yellow Springs

“That’s right, we still need an agent after all,” the night watchmen laughed.

The Yellow Springs Train has a terrible temper and often refuses to work.

As a forbidden object, it requires a psionicist to infuse it with psionic energy and to burn incense and pray before it can be activated.

Its temper is even worse than the Starshattering Spear, which at least doesn't require infusing with psionic energy. It still pierces through everything.

And the Yellow Springs Train has been set on fire, today wanting a psionicist from the True Martial Path to infuse it with psionic energy, tomorrow wanting a psionicist from the Whispering Path, and the day after tomorrow it has become the Myriad Manifestations Path.
It can pick through psionicists from all seven paths seven days a week.

Not only that, it can also find fault with the psychic abilities possessed by psychics. For example, if the path is to return to zero, it will choose a psychic who plays with fire or one who plays with water. Its requirements are all kinds of strange.

They also strike from time to time, and there have been several incidents of psionicists and construction crews getting trapped underground or inside mountains.

Of course, this may be related to the enormous workload of the giant city, since the Yellow Springs Train is either digging tunnels or transporting supplies.
In short, teammates in various branches and even headquarters have a love-hate relationship with the Train to the Underworld.

The megacity has suffered from train travel for too long.
That's good. The Yellow Springs Train isn't dignified, but Li Yelai will make it dignified.

So what if it's a forbidden object? Has it forgotten how it was taken down in the first place? Does it still want to see its wheels flying around again?
The night watchmen laughed and walked with Li Yelai toward the underground parking garage, preparing to head to the train stop outside the city.

Suddenly, a figure approached.

The girl was dressed in a black trench coat and a winged helmet, her entire body covered by clothing, with no skin showing.

It was a doll.

Today we are heading to the Lava Mine City and will also be making contact with the local powerful families.

In this setting, since the doll couldn't wear a costume, they were dressed in this more formal attire, making them look exceptionally dashing.

But as she approached Li Yelai, she pulled out an advertising board from somewhere.

[Xiaoye, have you seen my suitcase?! ∑(Дノ)ノ]
[I remember putting it in the living room, but it's gone when I get up (╯﹏╰)b]
[There are several of my outfits inside (T_T)]
[Has our house been burgled? (；д；)]
[Have you lost anything? (；д｀)ゞ]
Looking at the solemnly dressed doll, she panicked.

Li Yelai found it somewhat amusing and replied, "Don't worry, it's with me. You have so much luggage, it's more convenient to leave it with me, and you won't have to carry it around."

The doll paused for a moment, then the words on the billboard appeared.

[Okay, sure (〃'▽'〃)]
Doll clothes. In fact, most of them are various doll costumes.

Each item was thick and bulky, and only one or two could fit in a suitcase.

This resulted in her having a lot of luggage, almost like she was moving house.

As a voter of the Ark, Li Yelai possessed the Ark's storage space, which was quite large, and even contained the corpse of an ancient dragon. He then stuffed the doll's belongings into the storage space as well, which would be more convenient.

The strategic value of the reserve space is too high. If the authorities hadn't wanted to conceal Li Yelai's identity as a voter on the Ark, he could have single-handedly taken away a large number of heavy weapons and even entire swarms of tanks and armored vehicles.

Once you reach the designated location, take them all out.

During this period, the authorities only needed to deliver the lightly armed soldiers. A single location could be quickly and efficiently armed.

This is only the authority of a fourth-ring seat; once you reach the highest seat...

Li Yelai could even instantly transport thousands of troops to any location that the ark could reach.

For example, they could directly invite several supreme beings and kings to wait briefly inside the ark. Li Ye could then sneak up on the King of the Forbidden Zone and launch a coordinated attack, which would be far more efficient than gathering the wilderness rangers. The latter requires them to run there themselves, while the former simply teleports.

This also highlights the importance of the Ark. Once you gain access to the Ark's highest authority, you won't even need to fear the Disaster Fog.

At most a few trips, all our fellow humans trapped in the disaster fog can be freed.
This is truly incredible. This kind of thing must be in human hands.

Unfortunately, currently only a handful of people can reach the second-ring seats. And these are almost all top-tier seats.

To reach a position in the first ring, one would probably need to become a monarch, right?

Li Yelai was thinking to himself, while the Night Scouts behind him had strange expressions.

They glanced at the doll, then at their acting captain. Their expressions were strange.
The doll and the Night Captain are neighbors; they know that.

After all, those were the only three families living on those floors. And some busybodies even started spreading gossip.

But are you two so close that you can freely enter each other's rooms? Or is it when the dolls are getting up and washing up?
No, aren't you two getting a little too close?
Have you taken it a step further?

That's impossible! This is the champion's agent. Outsiders might not know, but how could their elite team not know?

Li Yelai was groomed to be the champion's successor.

These kinds of people... well, it seems like all the champions throughout history haven't had very high emotional intelligence. They simply can't see through advances from the opposite sex, okay?

The most outrageous one was the seventh-generation champion, a beautiful woman admired by countless talented young men.

Those talented young people were fighting each other openly and secretly until their brains were all scrambled together.

As it turned out, the seventh-generation champion passed by and, thinking they were having a friendly match, excitedly asked her to join in.

It became a laughing stock for a time. But they couldn't laugh openly, because those talented young people would really get anxious.
One of the more impatient female night watchmen spoke up: "Agent, why are you going into the Doll Captain's room so early in the morning? Isn't that a bit inappropriate?"

"Uh, I didn't run around. I took the suitcase when I saw it in the living room after I woke up," Li Yelai explained.

"Huh?" The night watchmen stared wide-eyed. "After you woke up, you slept in the dollhouse?"

Li Yelai realized they had misunderstood something and explained, "I'm sorry I didn't tell you. The doll became my companion the day before yesterday."

This was a rather private matter, but seeing that his teammates were suspicious, he still spoke up.

The doll beside it lowered its head shyly, its expression appearing in the billboard.

[Mmm (ω)]
"Oh, I see. I see."

"I knew it. Agents aren't that clueless."

Congratulations! What a perfect couple!

The night watchmen understood and said with a grin.

Then, after Li Yelai and the doll walked away, they all looked terrified.

"Holy crap, the champion's curse is broken?"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"His emotional intelligence is really low, how can he even have a partner?"

"What about the cheese? Tell her not to investigate anymore!"

"Such advanced puppetry skills? Impossible!"

"Cheese, come back! We've lost our home!"

The night watchmen were extremely surprised.

They were old comrades-in-arms of the floating creatures, so naturally they felt even closer to Cheese, the girl they had watched grow up.

They weren't afraid of their own cabbages being eaten by pigs, after all, they found the 'pigs' quite pleasing to the eye. What they were afraid of was pigs eating other people's cabbages. And, as it turned out, their worst fears came true.
As for the elite Night Watchers, Dragon Hunter of the Tiger Legion said, "Not all the champions in history were single. Although they may not be very emotionally intelligent, some of them did have partners."

“The third-generation champion had a fiancée. My dad was the best man back then,” said Gu Yue from the White Robe Team.

"That's an arranged marriage, it's different. If his fiancée were to pursue him, she probably wouldn't stand a chance."

"Even the sixth-generation champion had a partner. Before becoming a champion..."

"That's because his wife is very domineering and slept with him," a member who knew the secret whispered.

"Could it be a doll?"

"This is the only way to deal with this kind of mindset."

What about the cheese?

"Alas, there's nothing we can do about that," sighed one of the night scouts.

Meanwhile, at the train station outside the giant city, the place was already bustling with activity.

A large number of official psionicists have gathered here, and a lot of heavy equipment has also been delivered here.

They will board the vehicle here and head to the lava mine city.

This also attracted the attention of some outside families, after all, the effects of the Yellow Springs Train were too powerful, and some giant cities or families even planned to rent the train.

"Is this the Train to the Underworld? A Class B forbidden item?"

On the edge of the station, Ye Han watched with great interest the train engine being prayed for by many psychics.

“Yes, it’s a very useful forbidden item. With it, you can easily open tunnels and even create underground spaces. City Three has recently been thinking about how to build a railway connecting the other megacities.” A red-haired woman in a sexy tube top and shorts laughed, “If it really works out, our caravans will probably have less work.”

"It's a pity, I heard this train has a terrible temper," said the girl in the dress. "It's been half an hour, and it doesn't seem to want to move an inch."

"After all, this trip involves crossing several hundred kilometers and carrying a large amount of heavy equipment. It's just a bit much," Zhao Lin said, pushing up his glasses.

Ye Han noticed the blind swordsman from the snowy mountain standing to the side, who was looking at a figure not far away.

Because he was by Ye Han's side, the blind swordsman's eyesight was restored, and his gaze became bright and clear.

Seeing his serious expression, Ye Han couldn't help but smile and ask, "Senior Blind Swordsman, what are you looking at?"

"I told you about that official captain. The master assassin of the Netherworld Path, she's really strong," the blind swordsman said seriously, looking into the distance. "If it really came down to assassinating someone from the Six Senses, I'm afraid very few people could survive her."

Ye Han followed the blind swordsman's gaze and saw a tall figure. She was wearing a black trench coat with a hood and a mask, which concealed her face, but the tight-fitting clothes under the trench coat outlined her amazing figure.

But for some reason, she was all alone; a small space had been cleared out in the bustling station.
"Wow, those legs are longer than my life." The red-haired woman licked her lips. "They could probably crush me to death."

Ye Han nodded in agreement; her figure was indeed stunning.

Even with all the women Ye Han had seen over the years, he rarely encountered a figure like this. If only he could lift one of her beautiful legs during their intimate moments...
"It seems she's one of the competitors for the Celestial Palace this time," Ye Han said with a smile. "The reason she's being watched by everyone is probably because of the curse. I reckon we could get along well."

"You want to get along with everyone," the red-haired girl said softly. "But that woman is definitely my type. Let's win her over and have some fun together."

"Okay, I'll listen to you," Ye Han chuckled.

However, just as he took a step, the other party noticed him and swept his cold gaze over him, clearly indicating that no living person should approach.

'She's aloof, an iceberg, isn't she? No problem, as long as her body is warm.' Ye Han chuckled inwardly. He was actually quite looking forward to seeing this incredibly cold girl let out those barely suppressed moans while she was doing something. The stark contrast would bring an indescribable thrill.

The next moment, a disturbance broke out.

Originally, on both sides of the front of the train to the underworld, there were more than a dozen psychics guiding the way, praying. They were even carrying incense burners and large bells.

They uttered some kind of mysterious voice.

'The great train traveling the road to the underworld, hear our prayers.'

'Watch over our journey, shelter us with metal and radiance.'

The great bell tolled once.

This needs to be absolutely foolproof; we've prayed so many times, it's time for it to start.

But the Train to the Underworld acted up at this moment. Its massive engine lurched and shoved aside the praying psionicists. Then it began to rampage wildly, trying to return to the Great City.

"Out of control."

This made the official psionicists frown. With so many outsiders watching, was this train suddenly causing trouble?
Just as the official psionicists were about to suppress the train.

"Everyone, be careful!" Ye Han said, his gaze fixed on the tall figure.

His psychic powers surged, but he did not immediately intervene to assist the authorities in suppressing the forbidden object.

Instead, he was looking for the best opportunity to make a move; he knew very well when to do someone a favor.

Only by offering help in times of absolute danger can one leave behind enough gratitude to move others to tears.

He has always done this, which has earned him the friendship of many families and powerful groups.

Even if I deliberately put them in danger, hahaha, what if, under certain special circumstances, I have to wait for a few to die before I can take action?

As the tall figure drew his longsword and transformed into a plume of black smoke approaching the train, Ye Han raised an eyebrow. His leather boots crackled with lightning.
The hero-saves-the-damsel-in-distress trope is cliché and old-fashioned, but it's undeniably effective.

This will also become the opportunity for him to get to know her, and if she is beautiful, there will be more to come.

However, a sultry summer breeze blew from afar, carrying someone's voice.

The voice was young, carrying both laughter and warning.

"So sharp, huh? The train?"

The sound wasn't loud, but it made the train to the underworld lurch to a halt, and its headlights flared up, as if it were staring wide-eyed in fear.

The car, which had been accelerating, suddenly calmed down.

Then, it reversed into the parking space at a very fast speed and returned to its original position.

That one sentence was enough to suppress the Yellow Springs Train? No, you're a Class B forbidden item! And you were scared back by just one sentence?

The other person wasn't talking nonsense; it was just a normal shout. Why are you being so cowardly?

The outsiders were astonished, but the official psionicists smiled.

Seeing the approaching figure, Ye Bushou laughed and said, "It has to be you again, Champion Agent."

Li Yelai looked at the trembling train and chuckled.

He then smiled at his comrades.

"No problem." (End of Chapter)
