Master of Kaidan-Chapter 588: Accomplish Great Things

"I’m the real one!"

"I’m the real one!"

"You’re transformed from a demon!"

"You’re the one transformed from a demon!"

Inside the compartment, it seemed like a scene from True and Fake Monkey Kings, the noise of the argument echoing non-stop, the only difference being there were two Monkey Kings in the movie, and now there were seven!

At this moment, the attendants, the train police, and the ticket inspectors stood in a row at the door, and professionals were checking the stubs of several people with magnifying glasses, while Feng Xue, the "outsider," shrank in a corner, reciting the Four-character Mantra each time a new person appeared.

To be reasonable, he initially found it quite amusing, but as time passed and the same few sentences were repeated, he started to get a bit annoyed.

However, he did not regret letting these people out, because during this ticket-checking time, more transformations began to occur on these individuals.

For Bread Girl and Mango Girl, the changes weren’t very noticeable, but Lin Jiaxin was different. Not only did new labels incessantly emerge on her body, but her appearance also underwent extremely subtle changes.

Because it was right before his eyes, the transformation seemed minimal, not even comparable to a minor cosmetic procedure, but these detailed adjustments regarding eye distance, nose width, eyebrow height, and more within just an hour’s time, made Lin Jiaxin, his roommate who appeared to be unchanged at first glance, noticeably more pleasing to the eye.

In fact, even if someone compared the photos, most people wouldn’t notice any changes, but Feng Xue’s keen perception, coupled with the documentation by the Haotian Mirror, revealed all the transformations.

Then, Feng Xue unexpectedly discovered that she had begun self-cycling!

For some reason, the three Lin Jiaxins were all undergoing extremely subtle self-adjustments, but there were certain differences in these adjustments. As a result, each time these adjustments finished, they would synchronize directly with the other two, continuously cycling, turning what was initially just facial expression and emotional management discrepancies into substantial changes.

Simply put, a person who "looks good when smiling" would smile to make themselves look better, and this appealing change would then be directly synced with the other two selves who weren’t smiling. Then, the other two would each display different smiles, and that appeal was reciprocated.

Of course, the actual feedback wasn’t this direct nor was it merely the change induced by a simple smile, but with the high frequency of synchronization, it led to intensifying transformations.

After recognizing this detail, Feng Xue turned back to look at the other two pairs and found this phenomenon occurring in them as well, but compared to the frequent cycles between the three Lin Jiaxins, these two pairs, perhaps due to being fewer in number or having an NPC, were cycling at a much slower pace. As a result, Lin Jiaxin’s app rating rose by three or four points, while the other two merely became slightly more spirited.

"Train conductor, all these tickets are real." Suddenly, a confused ticket inspector put down his magnifying glass and, with a tone full of disbelief, interrupted the room’s argument.

Seeing the bewildered expressions of the attendants, and although some attendants in red and green uniforms rushed over later but were blocked by the regular attendants, Feng Xue felt an epiphany rush through his head, making him wish it were already dark.

Unfortunately, it was just around noon at that time, so he could only wait silently.

After checking his mobile phone to confirm there were no emergencies outside, Feng Xue simply closed his eyes and pretended to sleep. After a long silence, the train conductor finally spoke:

"Ladies, our train’s equipment is somewhat lacking. How about this, we will be stopping at the next station in about ten minutes, where we’ll have professionals conduct the identification, alright?"

"And what if you still can’t identify then?" The original Mango Girl, still glaring at her other self, asked without turning her head. The train conductor had anticipated this question and immediately responded:

"If we truly cannot determine, then it would be our dereliction of duty. In that case, we will provide a new compartment and private room for you ladies until the end of this trip. We will conduct further inspections after you all return to your country. Of course, for any inconvenience caused by this incident, we will also provide adequate compensation at that time..."

The train conductor’s words were well-reasoned and considering the unfamiliar environment and being on someone else’s train, despite still feeling dissatisfied, the women tentatively agreed to the train conductor’s proposal.

But Feng Xue held no hope for this, because if his suspicions were correct, by the time these people got off, they would likely be replaced by three new roommates.

Although Feng Xue had a major plan in mind, he didn’t mind adding more trouble to the situation. Thus, three minutes before the train was due to arrive at the station, Feng Xue took out the copper whistle again...

...

"Ladies and gentlemen, the train will soon arrive at Ryniskis Station. We expect to stop for five hours. As it is nearing midnight and for your safety, please do not disembark. The train will turn off its lights once we reach the station, please be prepared..."

Listening to the announcement, Feng Xue, who was constantly watching his phone, straightened his back slightly. His whistle-blowing deed did not change the outcome that only three new roommates returned, the difference being that the one locked in the bathroom simply disappeared while faint traces could still be sensed on the remaining six.

He silently mourned the second Bread Girl for a tenth of a second as the lights dimmed, and in that instant, three acceptance letters were shoved into the hands of the three roommates.

"Swish!"

Lin Jiaxin vanished again, while the other two roommates, looking bewildered, stared at Feng Xue.

But, having already prepared mentally, he quickly stretched out his hand and struck their carotids at a speed difficult for human eyes to track. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

"If you don’t faint, I’ll have to use more forceful means!" Feng Xue supported the two instantly unconscious "fakes," his mouth twitching slightly. Although he disdained the design that changed names but left the body of human quality, it at least reduced his workload quite a bit.

Taking out a piece of the Abnormal Convenient Wrapping Cloth, he shrank the two to the size of a lychee and casually tossed them into a huge burlap sack, while in his hands, the large-sized Abnormal Convenient Wrapping Cloth, along with a thick stack.

"Looking for a friend, have found a good friend, give a coin, ask the name, send a calling card to school, goodbye!"

"Looking for a friend, have found a bad friend, take a coin, say a fake name, no discussion in knocking out and packing, off you go!"

...

At midnight, when the attendants were off duty, a sinister figure lingered in the compartments, humming a bizarre nursery rhyme, dragging a massive sack, his hands holding a large stack of Wrapping Cloth big enough to cover a whole person. As he moved, the sound of numerous coins rubbing together continuously emanated from his pockets, and wherever he passed, all the passengers disappeared...
