Quite sincere, Wen Xishu also felt that Yue Yun was the most hardworking person. Hardworking people are the ones who crave talent the most.
Wen Xishu trusts Ah Miao, and also trusts Old Zheng.
Even if Nissen were here, Wen Xishu would trust Nissen too. He also firmly believes that his friendship with Yue Yun is not inferior to that with Nissen.
But if Nissen were replaced by Yue Yun, Wen Xishu really has no assurance... what Yue Yun would ultimately choose.
"Ten seconds."
Wei Pingâan showed a look of regret on his face, as if he was about to bid farewell to Wen Xishu.
But Wen Xishu was still thinking, very calmly.
Actually, Wen Xishu felt that he shouldnât trust anyone.
Yes, he shouldnât trust Ah Miao, shouldnât trust Old Zheng, and certainly not Nissen or Yue Yun.
But inexplicably, he was very calm now.
So calm that he himself felt a bit surprised.
As if he was internally convinced of something he shouldnât believe in.
"Five seconds."
...
...
Room 02.
"Five seconds." Wei Pingâanâs tone was full of temptation.
At this moment, beads of sweat had appeared on Yue Yunâs forehead. He really struggled for a long time.
Finally, when Wei Pingâan was about to start the countdown with three, two, one...
Yue Yun gritted his teeth and said:
"Shut up. I give up."
Wei Pingâan was stunned for a moment, as this was an answer that surprised him quite a bit.
He was planning to continue persuading, but Yue Yun said:
"One more word, and Iâll kill you!"
Yue Yunâs ruthless aura was somewhat similar to Xun Huiâs.
Wei Pingâan thought for a moment and said:
"I need a reason."
Yue Yun wiped the sweat off his forehead, and at this moment, he finally relaxed.
His expression remained cold:
"Dao Heart."
"Dao Heart?" Wei Pingâan did not expect to hear such a term.
Yue Yun said:
"I know that my future path wonât go as far as Wen Xishuâs, his talent is very tempting to me."
"If I were to say that my relationship with him has reached the level of absolute trust, it might still be a bit too early. Even though we have fought side by side more than once."
"I crave that kind of talent, but falling on Wen Xishu, his will would be very strong, because it originally belongs to him."
"But falling on me, I wouldnât."
Wei Pingâan understood.
A person who betrays his friends for glory, how can he talk about Dao Heart? How can he talk about advancing further at all?
Yue Yun could not accept that his talent was stolen, fearing that in the future, he wouldnât be at peace even in sleep and food.
Wei Pingâan felt some admiration.
Zheng Zai and Ah Miao, although they made their decisions much faster than Yue Yun, the process of Yue Yun overcoming his inner demons made Wei Pingâan feel that Yue Yunâs character was nobler.
"What a pity, Mr. Yue Yun. May I say so... of course, I might change my words soon."
Yue Yun said:
"What do you mean?"
Wei Pingâan did not speak, but patiently waited for dozens of seconds.
In these silent decades of seconds, Yue Yunâs heart was also pounding. Itâs impossible to say he wasnât afraid of death.
But eventually, his heartbeat gradually calmed down.
Wei Pingâan finally said:
"For the second time in history, thereâs no âApostleâ at the end of the train."
"Congratulations, you all survived."
Yue Yun was first shocked, then overjoyed.
"You mean, everyoneâs decision was to give up?"
Wei Pingâan nodded:
"Yes, they all gave up. Itâs really unexpected, especially you, Mr. Yue Yun, you made me see you in a new light."
...
...
Room 01.
Wei Pingâan stood up and bowed to Wen Xishu.
Wen Xishu actually never said the words "I refuse", he was just thinking all along...
When did I begin to change?
But seeing Wei Pingâan stand up, Wen Xishu suddenly smiled:
"It seems our fate ends here."
Wei Pingâan shook his head:
"The first step of the Dragon Hide Plan is to screen for Apostles who desire to become stronger and have excellent qualifications, although..."
"Mr. Wen Xishu, you have great charisma; all your companions gave up, they were all willing to die for you."
Wen Xishu felt quite moved inside:
"So your plan was actually fake? You were testing us?"
Wei Pingâan shook his head again:
"No, it was real. If you agreed, then you would no longer be âone of that worldâ."
"You would become one of our most powerful Apostles. I have great confidence that you would surpass other Apostles and make all Apostles a part of your deity... "
"I actually truly regret it."
"But honestly, I am also proud of you and your team. Having such companions is really not easy. Your relationship with the Dragon Hide Plan isnât that deep..."
"But I hope, one day in the future, we can cooperate again. Maybe you think this plan is evil. But... we have no other way."
"Finally, as a rare team to clear the train symbiotically, you and your companions will receive our gift."
"I think you should leave now."
Yes, at this point Wen Xishu also received a notification that the task was completed.
Whirlpool No. 2, Maze Train, all the causes and consequences had been experienced.
"Please say hello to Mr. Jin for us; tell him... avoidance is meaningless."
Wei Pingâan bowed again.
Wen Xishu was greatly surprised by this last sentence.
At the same time, all the rooms suddenly vanished.
The huge "conference hall" and all the rooms transformed back into their original train carriage forms.
[Congratulations on reaching the final platform, wishing you a pleasant journey.]
Wen Xishu turned around and saw the unconscious Xiaojin, and Nissen who was trying to stand up.
He also saw Yue Yun covered in sweat, and Zheng Zai with a silly grin, as well as Ah Miao looking slightly worried.
Everyone suddenly realized...
We are all still here after all.
Yue Yun looked at Wen Xishu with a complicated expression, but in the end, usually unsmiling and fond of a cold stance, Yue Yun grinned:
"Wen Xishu, we won."
Wen Xishu also knew that it wasnât easy for Yue Yun to make such a decision. He ultimately didnât sacrifice anyone, not because of his friendship with Yue Yun.
But because of betting on the items he had on himself. Wen Xishu wasnât confident in Yue Yun, but confident in himself.
But now, looking at Yue Yun, Wen Xishu realized he had truly made a friend.
He also smiled and said:
"Yes, we won. See you later in the Bunker."
