Doomsday Train, I went crazy by hoarding billions of items.

Chapter 127 Old friend?

Carefully avoiding the ubiquitous scanning robots, Jiang Ran hid in the shadows of the high-rise buildings, thinking to herself: Why does this place feel even more strictly controlled than Paro Island?
She was also a little puzzled. Since it was Paro Island that was "robbed," why was Sunset City under martial law?
Was he simply afraid that he might also rob Sunset City along with it?
In fact, Paro Island should now be completely in the hands of Big Eyes, since there's probably not a single person on the entire island who would oppose it.

But... why are all the residents on Paro Island normal-looking humans?

Based on the information gleaned from the guard captain, Sunset City seems to revere Paro Island and follow the arrangements of the so-called saintess.

Her name was also revealed through this saint.

Jiang Ran clicked her tongue softly.

This saintess clearly has big, bright eyes, and seems to possess some special ability to trace back to those who have been in contact with the "heart."

Thinking of this, Jiang Ran couldn't help but feel fortunate. Her usual caution had ultimately mitigated the dangers she might encounter in these subtle details that she was unaware of.

If her identity isn't concealed enough, and the saintess uncovers her true identity, endless trouble awaits her—at least it won't be easy for her to rob Paro Island again.

Lost in thought, Jiang Ran suddenly noticed that the robots seemed to have received some kind of command and suddenly flew in the same direction at the same time.

A thought struck her, and she followed very carefully behind.

In Jiang Ran's view, the ultimate goal of these maps seemed to be to guide her to "become stronger." If that's the case, there must be a place similar to the "heart" in Sunset City, so that her trip wouldn't be in vain.

Although the buildings in the city are all similar, the area where the robots gather is completely sunken.

Because this entire complex of buildings occupies the most central area, yet it is much shorter than the surrounding buildings that are often over a hundred stories high, making it more similar to the appearance that Jiang Ran is familiar with.

Naturally, this also highlights its uniqueness.

Jiang Ran had previously been unable to notice the "low-lying area" in the center because of her smaller size and the surrounding tall buildings and dazzling lights.

As the robots lined up and passed through what looked like a barrier, Jiang Ran quickly braked.

Thanks to the saint who somehow managed to find out her real name, she still maintained a basic sense of awe towards these strange things.

It's incredibly frustrating to be unable to access the biggest clue right in front of you, as it feels like ants are crawling all over you.

Speaking of ants...

Jiang Ran was still struggling with how to sneak in when she suddenly felt a sharp gust of wind beside her!

Her body reacted faster than her brain; with an incredibly nimble sidestep, she dodged the sneak attack. Before she could even see who the attacker was, she heard an angry shout: "Who!"

Then came the slash that whistled through the air!

Jiang Ran felt the voice sounded familiar, and after seeing the attacker's face clearly, she exclaimed in surprise, "It's you?"

It was the same golden ant she encountered in her first dungeon!

Ah this...

Jiang Ran hadn't expected to run into the person in question so coincidentally, and for a moment she didn't know whether she should reveal her identity.

After all, strictly speaking, they should be adversaries.

If this golden ant were to act without any sense of martial ethics and directly attract that unknown saintess, Jiang Ran couldn't guarantee that she could escape unscathed in someone else's territory.

Jiang Ran immediately shut her mouth and ran outside. She wanted to see if she could shake him off first; if not, she would have to teleport away. It was a pity that Sunset City wasn't fully developed yet, and if she ran away like this, she might not be able to get back in later.

With regret, Jiang Ran fled quickly in the direction she had come from.

Whether the golden ant recognized Jiang Ran or simply wanted to know who was so audacious and could imitate her so perfectly, it relentlessly pursued her and couldn't shake her off.

Jiang Ran had long known that this guy was very fast. She thought that after her size decreased, she would also have some speed advantage, but unfortunately, she was still lacking in terms of racial talent.

Seeing that she was about to be caught up by the golden ants, Jiang Ran gritted her teeth, suddenly accelerated, turned into the gap between the tall buildings, and then quickly deactivated her golden ant mimicry, transforming directly into Majik.

Then they changed direction and ran towards the buildings outside the center.

That way, even if she gets caught, her true identity won't be exposed.

The teleportation talisman was already clutched in her palm, ready to slip away at any moment!
Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned; it seemed that the golden ants didn't recognize people by their appearance.

Furthermore, after Jiang Ran changed her appearance, she seemed to have become a bit "clumsy," and the distance between the two was rapidly closing.

Knowing she couldn't linger any longer, Jiang Ran braked suddenly and sprinted backward, sliding into the gap she had already spotted. In the instant she ducked, she used the teleportation talisman.

Her destination wasn't the ghost ship, but her own little island.

After standing in the woods for a while and not finding anything unusual about the sea, I opened the map on the game panel.

As expected, the coordinates from before also turned gray and could no longer be used.

Jiang Ran began to suspect that these coordinate points might have been used only once.

The good news is that only one of the three coordinate points is grayed out; the other two are still in normal working order.

Jiang Ran sighed, still feeling a little regretful as she looked at the gray coordinates.

People always try to improve what they almost got but didn't, and Jiang Ran is no exception.

Right now, all she could think about was: I wonder if there might be an even larger energy source in Sunset City...

Although reason told her that the cities these coordinates led to were likely all centered around Paro Island, so even if there was energy, it probably couldn't get past the heart in the center of that pillar of light.

But... alas, the golden ants have ruined me!
Jiang Ran was still marveling to herself when she suddenly heard a voice that almost made her scream: "You actually managed to get the coordinates of the main city... You really surprised me."

Goosebumps instantly covered Jiang Ran's entire body. She took a step to the side, trying to avoid a possible attack.

However, there was only an awkward silence in the air.

Jiang Ran stared at the golden ants, who had somehow followed her to the island, as if she had seen a ghost, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.

Is it a good thing she didn't shed her mimicry and still looks like Majik?
However, the golden ant's inexplicably familiar tone made Jiang Ran suspect that it already knew her identity.

Sure enough, the golden ant's next question was: "Is there any cake left from before?"

I had something to do today and got back late. There will be another chapter in a bit.
