Chapter 22 What a coincidence

The train code says that on the endless train, every passenger must do a personal task every day.

But every day, the completion of personal tasks of the day will be settled when zero o'clock arrives. In other words, as long as you get off the train before zero o'clock, you don't have to go through the day's settlement on the train.

Therefore, there will be no punishment if you don’t complete your personal tasks.

However, for Zhao Xun, if he wants to earn more points, he still has to do all the personal tasks he can do.

"Brother, I've said everything I need to say, can you let me go?" Shen Yalong asked tentatively.

Zhao Xun looked at Shen Yalong and smiled. When Shen Yalong felt uncomfortable, he suddenly asked: "What is your main mission in this game?"

Shen Yalong opened his mouth and reacted just after spitting out half a syllable.

"Brother, although I can't beat you, I'm not a fool. How could I casually tell you my mission?" He stood up as he spoke, clenching his hands into fists, and mentally preparing himself for a beating.

It was so close, he almost said it.

Shen Yalong stared at Zhao Xun's hands with a wary look on his face.

If Zhao Xun really takes action, he will call for help right away, without caring about the consequences of attracting everyone's attention. He must at least save his life first!
"Okay." Zhao Xun shrugged, turned around and left.

Shen Yalong looked surprised.

He watched Zhao Xun's retreating figure and couldn't recover for a while.

Just let him go?
Seeing Zhao Xun walking further and further away, Shen Yalong was convinced that he had really been let go.

He was immediately overjoyed.

Although I don’t know why Zhao Xun suddenly had an attack of conscience and let him go, he finally managed to survive.

Before Shen Yalong had time to rejoice, he suddenly heard footsteps not far away.

The voice was a little heavy and urgent. He hurriedly hid behind a tree and looked out cautiously.

At this time, it was completely dark, and the entire garden was pitch black.

But there was an oil lamp burning in front, clearly illuminating the face of the person holding the lamp.

It was one of the players, the two-meter-tall strong man.

The strong man was not wearing the clothes he wore when he entered the game, but the guard clothes of the Duke's Palace.

Shen Yalong immediately understood that after the strong man entered the game, the identity assigned to him was probably one of the guards in the Duke's Palace.

At this time, the strong man was walking into the grass.

Shen Yalong was startled and hurriedly hid on the other side.

If he was discovered by other guards, they would just think that he was a town resident who came to attend the banquet. At most, they would ask him to stop wandering in the garden and tell him to go back to the banquet hall.

But if a strong man sees him, he will definitely guess that he is here for the main mission.

This strong man looked like an experienced player with gaming experience, and he was not easy to get along with. He might have been killed indiscriminately when he was discovered.

He is not very powerful among new players, and he doesn't even dare to play against experienced players.

Fortunately, Shen Yalong was not standing in a blind corner, there was a way out on the other side of the tree.

He tried to be as gentle as possible, taking every step when the strong man made any noise. Finally, when the strong man reached the big tree, he left the area and hid in another small bamboo forest.

Just when Shen Yalong wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, he suddenly felt like there was someone behind him.

He turned around suddenly and saw Zhao Xun who had just left.

Although he couldn't see his face clearly in the dark, his figure and shape, and the fact that they happened to meet in this place, made it easy for him to determine who the other person was.

Shen Yalong suddenly felt embarrassed: "What a coincidence."

"Shut up." Zhao Xun warned in a low voice.

Shen Yalong immediately fell silent.

Zhao Xun listened carefully to the movements outside and noticed that the strong man's footsteps were approaching, so he immediately walked deeper into the bamboo forest. He spotted the strong man before Shen Yalong. Just when he was about to walk out of the lawn, he suddenly heard voices.

He felt that the voice sounded familiar, so he subconsciously hid back and took a peek.

The moment he saw the strong man, he understood the strong man's identity.

Although it is not clear what the main mission of the strong man is, as an infiltrator, he is obviously hostile to the strong man as a guard.

Even if it is not certain whether there is a conflict between each other's tasks, nipping potential threats in the cradle is a routine operation, especially for old players like Strong Man who do not take new players seriously.

Moreover, the strong man should have heard some noise before, so he proposed to go into the grass to find someone.

So Zhao Xun immediately changed a place to hide.

Sure enough, the first thing the strong man looked for was where Shen Yalong was.

However, the strong man didn't find anyone there, so he probably wouldn't give up easily. Zhao Xun could only continue walking deeper into the bamboo forest and fight guerrilla warfare with the strong man.

When Shen Yalong saw Zhao Xun walking in, he hesitated for a moment and followed him.

In comparison, the strong man posed a greater threat to him than Zhao Xun.

Since Zhao Xun had let him go before, there was no need to attack him now.

It is safer to follow Zhao Xun than to be exposed in front of a strong man.

After a while, the strong man found himself in the bamboo forest.

At this moment, Zhao Xun and Shen Yalong had reached the depths of the bamboo forest and stood under a tall wall.

This is already the edge of the Duke's Palace. You can leave the Duke's Palace by climbing over the wall.

But neither of them had made any progress in their mission, so it was naturally impossible for them to leave the Duke's Palace. They could only walk farther along the wall to see if they could get out of the bamboo forest.

After walking quietly like this for two or three minutes, the footsteps of the strong man behind him suddenly stopped.

Zhao Xun immediately stopped and listened.

Shen Yalong also held his breath and tried hard to listen to the sounds in the distance.

It turned out that another guard stopped the strong man and said that there were two small town residents fighting at the entrance of the banquet hall and they needed to maintain order.

As a result, the strong man's footsteps gradually moved away.

Shen Yalong took a deep breath until no sound was heard.

Zhao Xun looked at the dark distance and had a rough guess about the brawny man's main mission.

The fact that the strong man could follow him deep into the bamboo forest proved that he was sure that someone was hiding here.

Normally, even if he is stopped by others, he should insist on finding the person before proceeding.

But he left.

That only means that the other party's request is one that he cannot refuse or violate.

In other words, his main mission may be to fulfill the duties of a guard, including the arrangements of his superiors and the Duke's orders, etc.

If his guess is correct, then there won't be much conflict between him and the brawny man's main mission.

Thinking this, Zhao Xun turned around and continued walking along the wall.

For safety reasons, he could not go back the same way and had to find another suitable way out.

Just five steps away, he suddenly noticed a sculpture as tall as one person in front of him.

The moonlight peeked out from the layers of clouds, bringing a faint light to the dark world.

A beam of moonlight shines through the gaps in the bamboo leaves and onto the sculpture's face.

At that moment, Zhao Xun seemed to blink when he saw the sculpture.
