Weird Rules Rumor: At The Beginning, He Insisted That He Was Not Dead-Chapter 93: Train of the Century (13)
Bai Liang didn’t bother explaining and simply opened the door, stepping into the next car.
“Hey! Wait for me!”
Yu Wen quickly snapped out of her daze and hurried after him, ignoring the sudden change in the car’s environment.
They entered Car No. 20, and the surroundings shifted again.
Bai Liang glanced around. The floor was covered with wooden planks, as were the walls, creating the illusion of a wooden cabin. The only light came from a lone, dim bulb.
“This is a game car divided into zones. If I remember right, this is the first zone, called the ‘Place of Murder’,” Yu Wen said, frowning as she caught up.
Bai Liang glanced at her. “Do you know the rules here?”
Yu Wen shook her head, clearly clueless.
“Starting to think bringing you along wasn’t the best idea,” Bai Liang sighed. Every question he asked met a dead end. The only thing she knew was the environment’s general description—her knowledge of the rules was zero.
Well, she did know one thing: cars must be traversed in strict numerical order.
But in the end, she was just an NPC. Her usefulness was limited. To clear this, he’d have to rely on himself.
“What do you mean you brought me? Aren’t I leading you?” Yu Wen shot him a strange look.
Bai Liang was about to retort when the metallic tang of blood filled the air. He raised an eyebrow and moved forward.
As they exited the passageway, a grim scene unfolded.
In the corner stood a wooden table with four chairs, each occupied by a figure.
The oddity was that all of them lay slumped on the table, their surfaces slick with a black liquid that dripped onto the floor.
Bai Liang stepped closer, studying the macabre setup.
“Were these people killed?” Yu Wen frowned, though her face showed no fear or panic. After years on the train, gruesome scenes had become mundane.
Bai Liang rubbed his chin. “Someone once said the dead can speak.”
Yu Wen’s eyes lit up with realization. “You want to search the bodies for clues?”
“No, no. These corpses are long decomposed. It’s beneath my dignity to handle such things.” He shook his head, then turned to Yu Wen.
She sensed danger. “You’re not going to make me do it, are you?”
Bai Liang simply stared.
“…You are, aren’t you?!” Yu Wen’s lips twitched, but she refused outright: “I’m not touching any corpses!”
Bai Liang leaned in, smiling faintly. “Miss Yu Wen, you don’t want to stay here forever, do you? What’s better—eternity on this never-stopping train, or freedom? All it takes is flipping a few bodies for clues.”
【Chat erupted.】
【This guy’s a demon! Master of manipulation!】
【Wait, I’ve seen this before…】”
【Blind viewer here—someone explain! Is Yu Wen his mom’s friend or what?】
Yu Wen’s face darkened. “Fine. You win.”
Resigned, she pulled gloves from her bag and began inspecting the corpses. The stench of rot and blood clung to the air. As she rifled through the remains, her disgust was palpable.
Finally, in the last corpse’s pocket, she found a bloodstained note and handed it to Bai Liang.
“All victims are young, with identical deep wounds. One killer,” she reported, gagging slightly.
Bai Liang scanned the note:
“Don’t kill. Inspectors on the train will come for you… Found the child. Hid him. Survive. Don’t… kill…”
The message was clear: killing here summoned Inspectors. The note’s author had likely fallen to them.
Yu Wen sniffed her hands, grimacing. “What’s it say?”
“Just a warning. If someone attacks, kill them,” Bai Liang replied, handing her the note.
Before she could read it, a clang echoed above!
Yu Wen dodged as a gray-skinned creature lunged at her! It landed on all fours, milky eyes locked on them.
Without hesitation, Yu Wen whipped a spike from her bag and hurled it—thunk—into the creature’s skull. It collapsed.

“You’ve got skills?” Bai Liang raised an eyebrow.
Yu Wen smirked coldly. “Think I’d survive ten years here otherwise? I’m not just a coffee brewer!”
Bai Liang nodded. “Can you handle Inspectors too?”
Her smile froze. “…What do you mean?”
