Ye Qiyan. That name seemed like a curse, branded firmly into Shangguan Yingxue's mind.
She knew who Ye Qiyan was.
A Train Conductor who had entered the Wasteland in the same batch as her.
The two had made some trades a long time ago.
He had been strong from the very beginning, stronger than every other Train Conductor in their block.
But...
Shangguan Yingxue realized that she seemed to have never seen what he looked like.
No, hadn't she seen him before?
But... where? When?
Shangguan Yingxue's head hurt terribly.
Whenever she tried to remember what [Ye Qiyan] looked like, her sanity would keep dropping.
But there was always a voice speaking in her heart, too.
["I want to know..."]
What would knowing accomplish? Shangguan Yingxue didn't understand... she only felt that she was about to go a little mad, just like Zhao An.
"Huh? Yingxue, are you all right?"
A somewhat cute voice roused Shangguan Yingxue as she gradually lost herself.
She raised her head woodenly and looked at the girl with cross-shaped stars in her eyes. For one hazy instant, the girl's facial features seemed not to exist at all.
But that was an illusion, wasn't it...
Just like how she couldn't remember Ye Qiyan...
It had to be... just an illusion...
"Thank you for your concern, Miss Mo Shi. I'm fine."
"Mmm~ That's good. Oh, right, did you make any interesting items yesterday? Huh, your sanity is so low. Never mind~ Don't push yourself too hard. Making more items is better than anything else~"
Mo Shi gently patted Shangguan Yingxue's shoulder and said with a smile,
"Come on, come on, it's time to go out there~"
