The god of death heard clearly what Mr. Liao said before he died.

He had the same guess as Zhao Xun.

So, after hearing Zhao Xun's suggestion, the God of Death agreed without any hesitation.

Afterwards, the two found a suitable place to land.

Zhao Xun notified Han Bing to come over.

It just so happened that Han Bing was still suffering from insomnia. After seeing the news, he immediately rushed to the side of the God of Death.

She glanced at the Liao family's old house which was still on fire in the distance, with surprise in her eyes.

But she quickly calmed down and looked at Zhao Xun again, asking, "Didn't you tell me to come back tomorrow morning? Why did you suddenly change your mind?"

"He gets things done quickly," Zhao Xun pointed at the Grim Reaper and said with a smile, "so the progress of our cooperation has also been a bit faster."

"What do you want to cooperate on?" Han Bing asked again. Without waiting for Zhao Xun to answer, he said, "Please make it clear in advance that I may not accept your cooperation proposal."

"I think you will accept it." Zhao Xun showed a warm smile, "You probably don't want to risk your few remaining lives on the Endless Train. If you have a chance to break free from control, you probably won't refuse."

Han Bing's brows moved slightly: "Have you found a way to get rid of control?"

"Although it's just a guess, it should be pretty close." Zhao Xun repeated what Mr. Liao had said, as well as his own and the Grim Reaper's speculations.

After hearing this, Han Bing's first reaction was to show a look of vigilance.

She was not wary of Zhao Xun and the Grim Reaper, but was looking around vigilantly.

She asked with some concern: "You just said it directly, aren't you worried that the person behind the Endless Train will hear it?"

Zhao Xun had obviously thought about this a long time ago. He answered without any hesitation: "According to my speculation, the 'backstage' of Endless Train has little influence in the real world, and their monitoring ability on players is also very limited. It is even less likely that we will be overheard when we discuss things here, and even if we are overheard, it will be difficult to stop us."

In fact, on the endless train, the ability of the people behind the scenes to monitor the players is not 100%.

Even the ability of those behind the scenes to act is greatly limited.

Otherwise, when the person behind the scenes discovered that something was wrong with the Grim Reaper, he would have taken action himself and would not have let the [Deputy Conductor] kill the [Conductor].

Han Bing understood: "This is why you want me to come to the real world and discuss the details."

"That's right." Zhao Xun nodded, "Besides, since the person behind the scenes hasn't fully grown up yet, the chances of killing him will be higher."

"That's true." The God of Death finally spoke, "He has many restrictions now. It's obvious that his strength is not strong enough to do whatever he wants."

"Then do you know where the master worshipped by the Liao family is?" Han Bing asked again.

"It's not difficult to infer," Zhao Xun turned to look at the Grim Reaper, "But before I talk about this, I want to hear what you have to say. What else do you know about the person behind the scenes?"

The Grim Reaper kept his word and spoke very straightforwardly: "I have seen some strange-looking sculptures in the Seventh District, the Ninth District, and the Eighteenth District. As the order in these three areas became more and more chaotic, the number of sculptures gradually increased. At first, they were found in some inconspicuous places, but later they could be seen everywhere."

Having said that, he glanced at Han Bing and Zhao Xun, and then continued: "The appearance of those sculptures should be similar to the special item that allows you to become [Deputy Train Conductor]."

"Describe it in detail?" Zhao Xun asked with some interest.

Death was not impatient. He recalled and described: "They are all strange in shape, similar to human form, but completely different from humans. Just looking at them will make people feel uncomfortable. It's a bit like the uncanny valley effect, but that discomfort is not entirely due to the uncanny valley effect."

"The sculptures in these areas only appeared after you destroyed them?" Zhao Xun asked.

"I can't be sure," Death said seriously, "but I think it's very likely."

"So, you actually discovered the existence of the sculptures earlier than me and A Shui." Han Bing asked the God of Death, "Then have you ever suspected that these sculptures are related to the mastermind behind the endless train?"

"Of course I suspected it," Death replied, "But I didn't have enough information at the time. I only suspected that there was a connection between the two, but I didn't expect the connection to be so deep."

Death never asked how Han Bing became the [Deputy Train Conductor].

It was not until Zhao Xun asked Han Bing that the God of Death learned that these two [Deputy Train Conductors] had once obtained a strange special item, a weird-looking sculpture.

It was at that time that he began to suspect that there must be a deep connection between these sculptures and the people behind them.

However, at that time he was more focused on revenge and didn't spend much time thinking about other things.

"There's one thing I don't quite understand. How did those sculptures appear in those three districts?" Han Bing raised his doubts. "After these districts lost order, the residents' food, clothing and safety became a problem. It's impossible that they would still be in the mood to make sculptures, right?"

"I don't think these sculptures are real sculptures." Death paused for a moment, as if he was a little hesitant, but he still expressed his guess, "They may all be the people in these areas who died and turned into statues."

Zhao Xun's mind worked quickly, and he immediately understood what the God of Death meant: "If your guess is correct, it very likely means that after you destroyed the order of those districts, some kind of bug formed in those districts, and the person behind the scenes used the bug to invade that part of the real world. Under the influence of His power, people will become sculptures that look very similar to Him after they die."

"That's what I guessed as well." The Grim Reaper nodded. "The person behind the scenes asked the [Conductor] and [Deputy Conductor] to return to the real world to carry out their mission, thereby increasing their connection with the real world and gradually gaining the ability to control the real world."

"From the current situation, it is definitely not a good thing for the mastermind to invade the real world. He may want to destroy the entire world and enslave all humans." Han Bing also followed Zhao Xun and the God of Death's thinking, "This may make the mastermind stronger and stronger. We have to kill him before he grows to a point where he is difficult to deal with."

At this point, she frowned slightly, a little worried: "But, with our strength, can we really do it?"

Zhao Xun did not answer Han Bing's question. He looked at the God of Death and asked, "Do you know any other secrets about the person behind the scenes?"

If only this was discovered, the person behind the scenes would not have guided the [Deputy Train Conductor] to kill the [Train Conductor].

Knowing this will not have any impact on those behind the scenes.

The Grim Reaper must have grasped some deeper secret or discovered the weakness of the person behind the scenes.

The Grim Reaper looked at Zhao Xun and smiled, which was rare for him. The small dimple on his left cheek was revealed, making him look less serious and cold.

"I also have two pieces of information about the mastermind." He held up two fingers and continued, "The first is that destroying the sculptures that humans turned into after death can weaken His power. The second is that He has something similar to a heart hidden somewhere. That may be His only weakness."

"How do you know this?" Han Bing asked the God of Death in surprise, "Did He ask you to hide it?"

"Of course I couldn't have hidden it." Death shook his head, "The former [Train Conductor] told me about this."

"There was actually a [Train Conductor] before you?" Han Bing was even more surprised.

She had always believed that Death was the first "Conductor" on the endless train.

Zhao Xun was not too surprised by this.

Just as he had deduced before, as long as the players who boarded the Endless Train early on were successful, even if they only participated in three survival games a month, they would be able to accumulate 10,000 points after a year.

To avoid any mistakes at all, you need to rely on strength and luck. Although the probability is not high, it is not impossible.

"That's right," the Grim Reaper nodded, "After I became the [Train Conductor], I received the message that I had to kill the previous [Train Conductor] in order to truly become the [Train Conductor]. Now that I think about it, perhaps this rule was made just to silence people."

"So, that heart was hidden by the previous [Train Conductor]?" Zhao Xun raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Yes," Death replied, "but he is forbidden to speak directly."

Zhao Xun looked at the indifferent expression of the Grim Reaper and understood almost immediately: "But he left clues, and you followed the clues to find the target?"

If people only knew about this, the person behind the scenes might not want the Grim Reaper to die.

But if even the location of the hidden weakness is discovered, then the person behind the scenes must want to make the Grim Reaper a dead man who can never speak again.

"That's right." Death smiled, "Although I can't say it, I can take you there."

The fact that he can say so much and act without restriction proves that the person behind the scenes has very little control over the real world.

As Zhao Xun said, this is indeed a good time to take action.

"No wonder the man behind the scenes wants you dead," Han Bing couldn't help but sigh, "You have mastered such a big weakness of His, He will definitely not let you live."

At this point, she could also see that the Grim Reaper should have known that the [Deputy Train Conductor] had a mission to take action against the [Train Conductor].

She had nothing to hide.

"Now you are the same as me." The Grim Reaper shrugged, and didn't seem to care much about his own life or death.

Ever since his fiancée died and his family was wiped out, he has been a pure avenger, even if it means sacrificing his own life.

Now that his revenge was over, he felt somewhat confused about his own life.

to die?

This is the life that his fiancée risked her life to protect. How could he give up so easily?

alive?

He didn't know how to survive or what to do.

The advice given by Zhao Xun actually gave him a temporary direction and goal.

As for the so-called difficulties and dangers, and the worry about his life, he was not worried at all.

It was a worthy death, and I’m sure his fiancée wouldn’t blame him.

"Speaking of this, we have three things we can do." Zhao Xun held up three fingers. "One is to destroy all the sculptures in the real world. The second is to find the heart and smash it. The third is to go to the Liao Family Ancestral Hall to find the true identity of the mastermind and destroy His body."

"Liao Family Ancestral Hall?" Han Bing was a little surprised. "The real body of the mastermind is in Liao Family Ancestral Hall?"

"It should be there." Zhao Xun looked at Han Bing and explained, "Although Mr. Liao didn't finish his last words, the first thing I thought of when he said those words was the Liao Family Ancestral Hall."

"I thought so too." Death continued, "The Liao family needs to worship the mastermind, and it is very appropriate to put him in the ancestral hall."

"Where is the Liao family ancestral hall?" Han Bing glanced at the Liao family's old house, which was full of flames. "The old house has been burned down... Isn't the ancestral hall in the old house?"

At this time, the fire alarm finally sounded at the foot of the mountain.

Because all the alarm equipment in the Liao family’s old house was paralyzed, the fire was not called until the fire grew bigger and people living down the mountain realized something was wrong.

However, this kind of fire could not be put out in a short time, and no one could walk out alive from the Liao family’s old house.

"I know this." Zhao Xun pointed to another hilltop in the distance that could be vaguely seen in the darkness. "It just so happens that before coming here, I read some information about the Liao family. The Liao family ancestral hall is at the foot of that mountain."
