Train Survival: You're really trying to survive!

Chapter 237 Gathering Intelligence

"How were you discovered?" Su Li frowned. "Was it the surveillance footage?"

There was no time to think. The man below pointed in Su Li's direction and released a black light that shattered the railing in front of Su Li.

Then, a large number of monsters rushed towards him from the dance floor.

Su Li took out the Mountain Inclined Sword, lit the Sun Wheel Sword, and casually swung it.

A wave of fiery sword energy swept across all the demons, swatting them away like flies.

[Should we kill them all? No, since they're collecting these gems, they'll find a way to send them to Sun Lili's castle. Keep a close eye on this nightclub; maybe we can find a way to get to heaven through them.]

Su Li immediately calmed her murderous intent, drew her sword to kill the pursuing demons, and then broke through the wall and left the nightclub.

The security guards chased after them through the breach, and Su Li led them away from Sun Lili.

-

"Hurry up, hurry up! Those must be the players that Lady Sun Lili was talking about, they're big criminals! Arrest them all! I want a promotion and a raise, to become the Queen's consort!" the leader shouted from the dance floor.

With a loud bang, the dance floor door was opened, and three security guards surrounded a black-haired girl and brought her to the center of the dance floor. "Boss, you need to take a look at this important person!"

After saying that, he gently pushed the girl.

"Huh? Don't bother me... Holy crap, Your Majesty, what are you doing here?!"

The leader, who had initially looked annoyed, instantly transformed into a fawning face upon seeing the woman's features. He leaped forward, kneeling on the ground, and using the friction between his trousers and the dance floor, slid to the woman's side, then prostrated himself on the ground with a thud. "The ground here is too dirty, Your Majesty. Please step on my head instead."

"Ah, uh, okay."

Lin Xin, also known as Sun Lili, looked around and saw that she was being stared at by monsters everywhere. Somewhat embarrassed, she stretched out her foot and stepped on the leader's head. The leader's head automatically deformed, and the round back of its head turned into a square platform. "Um, it feels good underfoot."

"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty! Your Majesty's presence is truly an honor! Aren't you going to pay your respects to Your Majesty?!"

"Long live Queen Sun Lili!"

Numerous small monsters knelt down and paid their respects to Sun Lili.

"Ah, no need for formalities, please rise."

"Thank you Lord for your grace!"

Sun Lili felt dizzy. How did she suddenly become emperor? Does that mean I don't need to rent a place and eat at shared restaurants anymore?

The leader remained prostrate, speaking respectfully to Sun Lili: "Your Majesty, have you come to observe our work? Or to punish the thieves? Or to collect the precious jewels?"

Sun Lili had just been shocked and was a little confused, but after being asked that question, she suddenly became much more clear-headed.

[The "slaying the thieves" refers to Su Li, who infiltrated the area? They've mistaken me for that Shadow Sun Lili? Could I try to extract some information from her?]

Sun Lili paused for a few seconds, gathered her thoughts, and raised her voice, "This is my clone. I'm preparing to infiltrate the invaders' team and dismantle them from within. The invaders are formidable enemies; you are no match for them. So stop hunting down the invaders and don't waste your lives."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The leader's voice trembled. "Ah, your subordinates feel Your Majesty's deep love and care for us."

"Long live the Queen!"

Sun Lili was so embarrassed her toes almost twitched.

"Then, I'd like to ask about your work progress."

Sun Lili quickly thought about how to extract information from him.

Unexpectedly, the leader confessed everything as if spilling beans: "Your Majesty, regarding the progress of the work, our team is currently focusing on capturing humans with sufficient mental/desire strength who have entered this world, and extracting their mental power into jewels."

"It certainly won't delay your grand plan. However, the work has only just begun, so please wait a moment. Please dock your castle at midnight the day after tomorrow, and we will deliver all these precious gems to your castle according to the original plan."

Sun Lili's heart skipped a beat. [So smoothly?]

"Ahem, well done. Then I, your doppelganger, will continue my undercover work." After saying that, Sun Lili naturally walked outside.

All the monsters bowed to Sun Lili, respectfully seeing her off as she left.

"By the way, I'm bringing that intruder into the castle the day after tomorrow. Remember to make a show of it."

"Yes, I will obey."

After giving her instructions, Sun Lili quickened her pace and left the nightclub.

After Sun Lili left, the leader got up from the ground, his face full of mocking smiles. "Oh dear, what a stroke of genius I had! I should have knelt down, or I wouldn't have been able to keep this smile on my face."

That damned Sun Lili! She suddenly appeared here and stole the power of all ten of us kings.

[That woman must be a fragment of Sun Lili's original consciousness. Sun Lili's original body is indeed powerful; even under those circumstances, she was able to retain a fragment of her original consciousness to save herself.]

[Send her over there to fight Shadow Sun Lili. She is Shadow Sun Lili's weakness and complement. If Shadow is strong, she can defeat the consciousness entity and gain even greater power, in which case I will submit to her and try to become her consort. If the consciousness entity defeats Shadow, we will restart the Ten Kings' War.]

Sun Lili said those people are beings from another world, and they can only stay for seven days. After they leave, won't we still be in control of this world?

The leader glanced at his followers. "Foolish mortals. Without a strong mind, even if you gain power beyond the ordinary, you will only be devoured by demons. Only we, the Ten Kings, can truly control this power and ascend to the pinnacle of the new world!"

Sun Lili underestimated these natives. While the Shadow Cognition was devouring people's hearts, some people used the power of their minds to turn the tables and control the Shadow Cognition.

The original world was created by this group of people fighting for supremacy in the spiritual realm, which ultimately led to the spiritual realm eroding the real world, shaking the foundations of the world, and causing its destruction.

Sun Lili returned to the meeting place they had mentioned earlier and waited for Su Li to join her.

After waiting for a while, Su Li jumped down from the rooftop next to Sun Lili and stopped beside her.

"Are you alright?" Su Li asked, then looked Sun Lili up and down.

"I'm fine. By the way, when I was hiding, I overheard the security guards' conversation." Sun Lili recounted all the information she had gathered.

"...This intelligence has been a great help." Su Li didn't dwell on where the intelligence came from or whether it was true or false. Anyway, let's give it a try. They didn't have any other way to get to the sky.
