Chapter Summary: “Train Conductor”

Plot and events

Lin Qi remains seated after the mercenary attack, suspecting that the four A-level cybernetic bodyguards are only a distraction and that the true threat is hidden in Car One. Liu Xuan, having regained control of the situation and reviewed footage from another carriage, reaches the same conclusion. She orders the exits guarded and asks Lin Qi to come forward, but Liu Yue and Liu Heng object, revealing suspicious behavior. Through Psychic Vision, Lin Qi sees that the two bodyguards are preparing to carry out the attackers’ plan, so he prepares to use Blood Control against them.
Before he can act, the entire carriage is suppressed by what initially appears to be an S-level Electromagnetic Signal Jammer. The disruption disables cybernetic bodies, including Lin Qi’s Exoskeleton. However, Lin Qi realizes that the suppression is actually caused by the Train Conductor, an apparently ordinary man whose sinister Mental Power identifies him as a powerful Wizard—at least Third Rank, possibly Fourth Rank.
The Train Conductor emerges from the locomotive and is revealed to be Liu Xuan’s “Second Uncle.” He praises Liu Xuan’s judgment, insults Liu Yue and Liu Heng as “trash,” and removes the two traitorous bodyguards by lifting them into the locomotive with an invisible force, apparently involving electromagnetic manipulation. When he approaches Lin Qi, Liu Xuan orders him to stop. He obeys, but warns her that her emotional weakness will damage her judgment and that he believes she should eliminate that weakness—possibly by removing someone from her life.
After he leaves, Liu Li silences Liu Yue with a Wizard ability, revealing that she too possesses supernatural powers. Lin Qi is struck by how many Wizards exist within the Liu family and how unusual their abilities are. He then observes the Train Conductor communicating with Liu Xingyuan, chairman of Liu Heavy Industries. The Conductor reports that the mercenaries had studied his abilities, overrode the train’s internal authority, and made the carriages appear normal on their displays. Had the mercenaries not also suffered an accident, the Liu Group might have faced a disaster comparable to the Si Clan’s downfall.

Character developments

• Lin Qi remains cautious and analytical, using Psychic Vision to identify hidden enemies and understand the Train Conductor’s powers. He also recognizes his dependence on Liu Xuan’s support in the wider crisis.
• Liu Xuan demonstrates restored confidence, authority, and sharp tactical judgment. She is capable of commanding even the powerful Train Conductor, though his warning suggests that her personal attachments may compromise her decisions.
• The Train Conductor is established as a formidable and unconventional Wizard whose powers mimic advanced technology. He is fiercely loyal to the Liu family but harsh, pragmatic, and willing to criticize or threaten its members.
• Liu Yue and Liu Heng are exposed as compromised or disloyal, while the two bodyguards are confirmed traitors attempting to continue the attack.

• Liu Xingyuan instructs the Train Conductor to protect Liu Xuan and Liu Li in Greenland City; Liu Yue and Liu Heng are decoys. He also says Lin Qi must be kept safe because Lin may be valuable to the Liu Group as a future X-level researcher—and because he may be Liu Xuan’s weakness.
• Lin Qi recalls that an earlier laboratory accident, in which his and Liu Xuan’s mental powers collided, first exposed him to the mysterious [Gate]. The event seems to explain their connection, though he does not fully understand it.
• Lin Qi sees that the two Liu family men aboard the train are frightened, recognizing that they are expendable decoys. He also notices wounded researchers in Car Two but chooses not to intervene.
