"Pooot! A schema has been triggered!" Suddenly, a similar panda with a number 3 in its forehead appeared. The previous one was grinning but this one was not.
As the red transparent walls shoot up to the sky, ordinary people began to panic.
"Oh goodness, it's beginning again!"
"Please spare us! We just want to live!"
"Hehehe please don't worry, everyone. This is just a simple schema that is applicable for all of you." The panda #3 smirked.
"A schema? What is that?" Sylvianna was confused. It was a new term for her.
"In layman's terms, it's a game created to toy with the lives of people. A game of entertainment for those up above." Jin Rou spoke with coldness in his tone.
"The Dark Train is such a thing?" Sylvianna almost choked.
"Do you think the Dark Train is a happy-go-ride?" Jin Rou chuckled, "You should have expected at least this much. After all, it's not just that."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"So how do we clear this schema?" A man in his youth put himself forward. He was carrying a bow with golden features engraved.
"It's Count Julius!" People cheered as they saw him, "We are now saved!"
In this world, the realms were based in a distant era. Citizen, Noble, Count, Marquis, Duke, King, and Emperor.
All those who had selected the residency path had these realms if they were lucky in the future. Of course, not everyone was lucky. There were so many who were stuck at being the lowest rank, the Citizen.
"Relax now, everyone. Let's clear this schema fast so you all can go home now." Count Julius was brimming with smile, a smile so gentle that you could mistake him for being their father.
For these trapped citizens, the Count rank was a dream they couldn't reach unless they were talented enough for the dao.
And again, the people cheered.
"Now now, people of Cabin 1. There's no need to hurry, isn't it? The scheme this day is quite simple but interesting. Do you see that normal looking guy and that beautiful gothic little girl? They are newbies who just hopped in on our train. They all have a protection right which they couldn't use in this cabin. All you have to do is get it from any of them and this schema will be cleared! The panda explained, "Of course, there are rewards for the person to get the protection right, albeit it will remain unknown until distribution."
Jin Rou chuckled. They just got on the train yet the 'staffs' of this train were already thinking ways of getting rid of them.
The protection right was very important to every citizen in the train. After all, it would be a protection against the monsters of the apex here. With a right, they could leave a schema unscathed.
Of course, since it's precious, it's also too hard to obtain. Usually, each citizen upon boarding can only have a single protection right. Obtaining another was more than difficult.
And now, the schema stated that the citizens had to rob off Jin Rou or Sylvianna's protection right to clear it? It was obvious what those people were trying to do.
"You people aren't even hiding your fangs now." Jin Rou smirked, "Becoming too bold since the old man can't touch you, eh?"
"Human, I don't know what you're talking about." The panda #3 feigned ignorance.
"Pfft, okay. Come, everyone." Jin Rou stepped forward. The eyes were on him as he said, "The protection right I have is up for grabs. It's up to your greatest interest of how to take it from me."
Jin Rou wasn't backing out. Though the right had no use for him, it would be too boring if this ended quickly. It's his first schema, after all.
"Gentleman, can you just hand your right over?" Count Julius spoke, "I don't want to hurt you, so please try to concede with me. Rest assured, your right will be handed over to the fateful one."
"You just want the right for yourself, en?" Jin Rou looked at the young man, "You can deceive others but don't try it with me."
"This bastard is arrogant! We should just kill him!" All of a sudden, a raging woman shouted. She must be a fan of the count.
"That's a good choice." Jin Rou seconded the suggestion as if he wasn't the target, "Kill me and you will have the protection right."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Then, please excuse me." Count Julius raised his bow and aimed an arrow at Jin Rou.
"Whoosh!" The arrow flew past with a speed that couldn't be seen by the naked eye. The shot was too sudden and everyone couldn't react in time.
"Slow." But in Jin Rou's eyes, it's too slow not to be avoided.
Seeing this, Count Julius raised his attack power. Scheme Prospect effects could be seen around as he prepared his second shot.
Scheme Fate was the nature which controlled the entire Dark Train, the one which maintained the balance of the world. When a citizen exceeded the maximum 'prospect', the natural balance would react.
Currently, Count Julius' attack triggered sparks of prospect, meaning that it was about to reach the threshold that the world could accept.
Nevertheless, he wasn't afraid. The count knew how much power to use so that it wouldn't trigger the tribulation.
"Boom!" The entire cabin shook. No, the world inside Cabin 1 was greatly shaken by the aftereffects of the second shot. The arrow consumed a lot of prospect, so this was understandable.
But for the ordinary people, this seemed to be a catastrophe.
"A good way of manipulating the prospect, hmm." Jin Rou praised. He seldom praise someone, but when he did, he meant it, "However, it's not enough to enter my eyes."
It was already incredible in a sense. Perhaps only those people in the higher ranks could do such things, or even better. Unfortunately, in Jin Rou's eyes, it was none other than a child showing his talents.
"Not yet!" Count Julius refused to give up. He was about to fire the third shot when the world dimmed.
"Rumble!" Thunder sounds could be heard. The world turned dark as if it lost its light.
