No strange things are allowed to evolve!

Do whatever you want, but don't blame me if you can't make it work.

"He was dead," the doctor said with a smile, beginning to ramble on. "But he's alive again."

The falcon asked, puzzled, "What do you mean by 'alive again'?"

"It's because he has unfulfilled wishes, so he came back." The doctor explained, "Normally, he should have returned after the seventh day after death, but as you know, he caused a big disaster because he was impatient and unstable, so he couldn't wait for the seventh day and came back in a hurry, so his functions are not quite complete."

The falcon remained silent, wondering if this was something to be rushed.

He took a few deep breaths before frowning and saying, "Is it possible that he wasn't dead at all?"

"That's possible," the doctor nodded.

"What do you mean by 'possibly'?" Falcon was starting to lose his composure. "You have no idea what you did to him, or what the consequences were?"

"This..." The doctor was speechless for a moment.

Making up lies is not something he's good at, especially when he has to do it without any preparation, which makes it even more difficult.

Moreover, the falcon kept asking questions while the Snow King pressed him about what he had done to Jiang Shu, leaving him no time to think.

He even has an urge to ask Jiang Shu to stand up, and then sit in the wheelchair and act like a fool.

Fortunately, Jiang Shu caught his breath at this time, and as a result, he was able to speak with a natural, thick tongue after biting his tongue.

"Actually, it's like this."

He stated vaguely:

"I did almost die from the power of the desert, but I managed to pull through at the last moment."

After experiencing this life-or-death ordeal, I have become indifferent to everything, and I understand that I have done many bad things in the past. I have come to a lot of realizations.

My tenacious vitality and will to survive greatly shocked the doctor. After listening to my insights, he told me that it was because my past self had died and my present self was new.

So, instructor, please accept my apology. I shouldn't have been so arrogant before.

The falcon, upon hearing this, was skeptical.

This is not only melodramatic, but also quite absurd.

However, he couldn't understand why the doctor would cooperate with him if it was fake.

Others may not know the doctor's methods, but he does. This guy has been in contact with desert forces for many years. Although he may not be particularly outstanding in actual combat, no one on the train can compare to him in terms of understanding.

There's no reason for him to pull this stunt on Jiang Shu.

Just as he was about to say something, he heard Jiang Shu continue, "Alright, the reason I asked the doctor to bring me here was to resolve this unnecessary conflict."

Because I don't want my friend to lose her faith because of me, to forget why we came here, and even more so, I don't want her to lose her future.

Alright, now that everything's alright here, I'm going to be my battery, loyal to the end!

The falcon paused for a moment, then clicked its tongue slightly.

Has it actually accepted its fate of existing as a train battery...? Has it truly become indifferent to life and death?

Seeing that Jiang Shu had already said so much, the falcon could no longer question anything.

Regardless of any hidden reasons, he is now in such a state that he has no value for recruitment and will soon become the energy source for the Zodiac Train. There is no need for him to pursue the past anymore.

Let's leave it at that then, forget about it.

By this time, the Snow King had gradually calmed down.

Because she sensed something was wrong.

This is definitely not Jiang Shu's style.

Based on her understanding of Jiang Shu, even if he had truly experienced life and death, once he recovered, he would definitely not be indifferent to everything, but rather want to kill the entire family of the person who had caused him to experience life and death.

But now he doesn't seem to be being coerced.

Because he used a safe word—

loyalty.

This was a code word they had agreed upon, used in special circumstances to indicate that they were currently safe and sound.

So... when you said you didn't want me to lose my future, you meant I shouldn't offend the Falcon, and should just do my job as a guard in the open while you stay in the shadows?

As Snow King pondered, the falcon, unaware of the mystery, asked, "What about the other one?"

"Oh, that one is really dead." The doctor said sincerely.

The falcon glanced at the Snow King.

Completely indifferent!

So that guy was actually an insignificant character... Falcon thought to himself.

Seeing that the Falcon and Snow King, though their expressions varied, clearly had no intention of doing anything out of line, the Doctor secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Well then, if there's nothing else, we'll be going now."

The doctor smiled and was about to push Jiang Shu away.

The falcon did not stop them, but simply watched them leave.

As the Snow Queen calmed down, her sandification automatically ended.

Her figure gradually returned to normal.

"I'm sorry, instructor, I acted impulsively."

Although she didn't understand why Jiang Shu had made such an arrangement, Xue Wang still chose to firmly believe in it and follow it, so she immediately apologized to the falcon.

Falcon naturally wouldn't make things difficult for a genius who had just awakened the power of the desert and was already displaying such amazing abilities. In addition, his original intention was to use the news of Jiang Shu's death to shock people at this crucial time, and at the same time test Xue Wang and Wang Tiezhu. After all, the four of them appeared together, and two of them were extraordinary, so the other two were naturally worthy of suspicion.

Now that the matter has been resolved satisfactorily, he was naturally overjoyed.

So the falcon didn't pursue the matter further, but simply said, "Although he's not good at guarding, he's a really good friend. Even in this situation, he still cares about you. You mustn't let him down."

"No, I won't." The Snow King lowered her head slightly, obscuring her face. "I will listen to him."

At the same time, on the other side.

"Didn't you catch up?" Jiang Shu asked the professor, who kept turning back.

The latter shook his head: "No, he must have believed it."

Jiang Shu then sat up straight and started moving her neck.

"Now I finally understand why some people like to watch girls doing math problems without clothes on. I feel uncomfortable after just a short while. If this goes on for too long, it's inevitable that I'll develop psychological problems."

He couldn't help but sigh.

"Who is it? Who's such a pervert?" the doctor asked curiously.

“You don’t know him.” Jiang Shu waved his hand, changing the subject.

In fact, he did not want to appear in this way.

Or rather, he simply didn't want to show himself in front of the falcon.

But there was no other way. Seeing that the falcon and the snow king were about to clash, he had to step in to mediate, because only when he personally intervened could the snow king calm down.

The reason for avoiding conflict was partly because he worried that Xue Wang and Wang Tiezhu would follow in the footsteps of himself and Huang Helou, resulting in all four of them being unregistered residents. Since they couldn't roam freely like he could, things would definitely become very troublesome.

On the other hand, the doctor also did not want to see the falcon use the power of the desert for such an unnecessary misunderstanding, bringing it one step closer to death, so he asked Jiang Shu to think of a solution.

Jiang Shu initially planned to make a silent entrance, such as kicking the falcon away so that it wouldn't even have a chance to turn into sand.

However, although I can afford not to eat beef with my current strength, Falcon doesn't seem like the kind of person who would submit to force like the Doctor. If he were to refuse to yield and cause trouble with the guards, it would be even more troublesome.

Putting everything else aside, if all the guards are suppressed, my plan to quietly upgrade and focus all my energy on the Sand Demon will definitely fall through. I'll also have to worry about things on the train. Just thinking about it gives me a headache.

So after much thought, Jiang Shu chose to resolve the conflict in this way.

The level of rigor is comparable to Zhongli faking his death.

"Alright, that's all settled for now," Jiang Shu said easily. "Now I can focus all my attention on Fu Sha and just wait for the train to reach its destination."

The doctor nodded: "Yes, don't worry, I'll cover for you."

Before long, the two returned to the laboratory.

Although Jiang Shu really wanted to get out of everyone's sight and immediately go back into the pipe to continue stealing resources.

But since we've already passed by, let's take a look at the Yellow Crane Tower first.

We can't really let him die, can we?

Just as the two entered the laboratory, an excited shout reached their ears.

"I did it! I finally did it!"

That was the sound of the Yellow Crane Tower.

The next moment, a cloud of dust burst out of the laboratory and rushed straight into the ventilation opening on the top of the train.

Just after the sandstorm disappeared into the ventilation shaft, several researchers hurriedly chased after it.

Upon seeing the doctor, they exclaimed that something was wrong.

"It's bad, Doctor! The last person has escaped!"

Jiang Shu and the doctor exchanged a glance, and then Jiang Shu stood up directly from the wheelchair.

"What's going on?" Jiang Shu asked seriously.

The moment those researchers saw Jiang Shu, they were reminded of the fear of being dominated by him.

When he asked them the question, they answered with even greater reverence than they would a doctor:

"Your friend... he seems to be possessed."

Chapter 155 A Sneak Attack from the Sand Demon

Possessed by an evil spirit?

Jiang Shu felt a sense of absurdity:

"The power of the desert is already strange enough. If this isn't considered possession, is there something even more sinister?"

"Isn't it strange because it's incomprehensible? If something could be explained, it would be called science."

The doctor responded with a sentence, and then asked:

So what exactly happened?

The researcher who was in charge and was also the doctor's assistant hurriedly said, "You knocked over a lot of things in the lab when you were fighting, so we started cleaning up after you left."

Then they discovered that another person had been thrown into a corner, and the steel needles had almost pierced through him.

We quickly lifted him onto the operating table, positioned him upright, and then began to resuscitate him.

Fortunately, he had a strong will to live and was unharmed, but for some reason, he couldn't wake up.

"Isn't that because he was given anesthesia?" the doctor said.

"But we gave him a sedative afterward, which should have brought him back to his senses, but he is still unconscious."

While explaining to the doctor, the deputy glanced at Jiang Shu discreetly:

"I was thinking that your relationship with him is different now than before, so I definitely can't treat him the same way as before. I was thinking of waking him up first, then relieving his pain, and waiting for you to come back."

Although his safety was ensured, he never woke up.

This puzzled Jiang Shu somewhat.

Huang Helou had clearly overcome the anesthesia and should have been conscious; otherwise, he wouldn't have cursed himself after being overturned.

At most, they were somewhat affected and their movements were restricted, but at least their consciousness should be clear and speaking should not be a problem.

Since he knew the current situation and that he had already become close with everyone in the lab, why did he pretend to faint?

Did he not pretend, but actually faint afterward?

The doctor also found it strange: "Even so, what does it have to do with being possessed?"

"I haven't finished speaking yet."

The deputy continued:

“At first we didn’t think too much about it. We just thought that the anesthesia might have hurt him too much, so even after the anesthesia wore off, he didn’t have the strength to wake up for a while.”

So we just put him on the operating table, observed his condition, gave him some nutrients, and waited for you to come back.
