Netherworld Retrograde

Chapter 706: Chapter 331: Deterrence

“Indeed, in the end, we still need an agent,” Ye Boshou laughed uproariously.

The temperament of the Netherworld Train was quite poor and it often did not like to work.

As a Taboo Item, it required a Spiritual Ability User to infuse it with Spiritual Energy and offer incense prayers before it could start.

It was even more temperamental than the Shattering Star Spear. At least with the Shattering Star Spear, you didn’t need to infuse it with Spiritual Energy, and it would still penetrate everything.

However, the Netherworld Train had become picky, today wanting a Spiritual Ability User from the True Martial Path to infuse it with energy, tomorrow wanting one from the Path of Babbling, and the day after, one from the Wanxiang Path…

Over the course of a week, it could go through Spiritual Ability Users from seven paths.

Not only that, but it could also be nit-picky about the specific Spiritual Energy traits held by these users; even if it was the Path of Zero, it demanded a user who played with fire, or if not, someone who toyed with water, making bizarre requests.

Then there were the occasional strikes, leading to several incidents where Spiritual Ability Users and construction crews were trapped underground or within mountains.

Of course, this might be related to the massive workload in Giant City; after all, the Netherworld Train was either digging tunnels or transporting materials…

In short, teams from various departments, and even headquarters, both loved and hated the Netherworld Train.

Giant City had long suffered from this train…

Now it was fine, if the Netherworld Train couldn’t retain its dignity, Li Yelai would help it keep it.

What about being a Taboo Item? Had it forgotten how it was subdued in the first place? Did it want to see its own wheels fly off again?

Ye Boshou laughed uproariously and walked with Li Yelai towards the underground garage to head to a rural train station.

But suddenly, they saw a shadow approaching.

The girl was dressed in an armored black trench coat and wore a helmet with wings covering her face; her entire body was covered without a speck of skin showing.

It was clearly a Doll.

Today, they were heading to Lava Mine City, and also needed to make contact with the local family.

For such an occasion, the Doll couldn’t wear her usual doll clothes, so she had put on this more formal attire which made her look exceptionally heroic.

As she approached Li Yelai, she unexpectedly pulled out a signboard.

“[Xiao Ye, have you seen my suitcase!!!∑(ﾟДﾟノ)ノ]”

“[I remember it was clearly in the living room, but it disappeared when I got up (╯﹏╰)b]”

“[I had several sets of clothes inside (T＿T)]”

“[Did our house get burglarized? (;д;)]”

“[Did you lose anything? (;´д｀)ゞ]”

Looking at the solemnly dressed Doll in a flurry.

Li Yelai found it a bit amusing and responded, “Don’t worry, it’s at my place. You have so much luggage, it’s more convenient to keep it at mine. You don’t need to carry it everywhere.”

The Doll paused for a moment, then words appeared on the signboard.

“[Oh, okay (
’▽’
)]”

The Doll’s clothes… actually, most of them were different types of doll costumes.

Each item was very bulky and a single suitcase could only hold one or two pieces.

This resulted in her having quite a lot of luggage, almost as if she was moving.

As an Ark Chosen One, Li Yelai possessed the ark’s storage space, which was quite large, and even contained the body of an Ancient Dragon. So he also squeezed the Doll’s luggage into this reserve space, making things a bit more convenient.

The strategic value of the reserve space was too high, if not for the officials wanting to conceal Li Yelai’s identity as an Ark Chosen One. He alone could transport a large amount of heavy weapons or even fleets of tanks.

Upon reaching the designated place, they could all be taken out.

During this process, the officials just needed to transport lightly armed soldiers to the location. A place could be immediately and efficiently armed.

This was only the privilege of the Fourth Ring Seat, once he reached the Supreme Seat.

Then Li Yelai could even instantly transport thousands of soldiers to any location the ark could reach.

For example, if he invited a few Supremes and Kings, let them wait a little inside the ark. Li Yelai could sneak up to the King of the Restricted Zone and launch a siege. This was more efficient than gathering Wilderness Rangers, the latter needed to travel by themselves, the former could just teleport.

Hence, the importance of the ark… Once one obtained the highest authority of the ark, they wouldn’t even have to fear the Disaster Fog.

With a few trips, they could evacuate all the human beings trapped in the Disaster Fog…

How incredible… Such a thing must be kept in human hands.

Unfortunately, currently, most could only reach the Second Ring Seat, and they’re mostly Supremes.

To reach the First Ring Seat, one would probably need to be a King.

Li Yelai thought to himself, while the expressions of the Ye Boshou behind him started to look mischievous.

They glanced at the Doll and then back at their acting captain, exchanging peculiar looks.

The Doll and the Night General Captain were neighbors, they knew this.

After all, it was just their three households on those few floors… and some gossips had already spread the news.

But… Are you two now so close that you can freely enter each other’s rooms? Even at times when the Doll is waking up and washing up?

Isn’t your relationship perhaps too close?

Could it be that you have… progressed further?

That can’t be right, this is the Champion Agent… Unknown to outsiders, but could his own team of elites not know?

Li Yelai was being trained as the next Champion Inheritor.

People like this… er, it seems every generation of Champions lacked emotional intelligence. They could never recognize the signs of affection from the opposite sex.

The most outrageous was the seventh-generation Champion, a beautiful woman adored by countless young talents.

These young men, openly and secretly, fought among themselves to such a degree their brains turned to mush.
