The "Survival on the Train" game has bugs, it's really laggy!

The cold muzzle of the gun was pressed firmly against the back of Su Yuan's head.

The control room was deathly silent.

Wang Hu's eyes were bloodshot, his muscles were taut like iron, and he let out a low growl like a wild beast, ready to pounce.

Su Yuan raised a hand and stopped him with a look.

Tang Lan's eyes were vacant and unfocused, and her voice seemed to be squeezed out from under a thick layer of ice.

"Commander, hand over the 'Blue Light Stone'."

Su Yuan remained completely still, without even turning his head.

"Xiao Huo, scan Tang Lan's vital signs, focusing on analyzing brainwave frequencies."

His voice was completely flat, as if what was pressed against his head was not a gun, but a harmless tree branch.

Wang Hu stood by anxiously, like a caged beast, his fists clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned white, but he dared not make a move.

Xiao Huo's report, crackling with static, rang out urgently: "Report! Commander Tang Lan is experiencing high-frequency signal suppression in her brain, the source... the armory door! Her consciousness has been temporarily blocked, and her behavior is out of control!"

"JY-003, is this your understanding of 'betrayal'?"

Su Yuan ignored Tang Lan and instead spoke to the cold warehouse door, his voice carrying an undisguised mockery.

"Controlling a puppet that can't control itself to stage a shoddy farce. It's really... too superficial."

Kumen did not react.

Tang Lan slowly increased the pressure on the trigger.

The metal mechanism emitted a faint preload sound that stung the eardrums.

Wang Hu almost stopped breathing, staring intently at Su Yuan, waiting for even a single command from him.

Su Yuan suddenly made a move that shocked everyone.

He ignored the gun barrel, turned around, completely exposing his back to Tang Lan, and strode towards the armory door.

"True betrayal stems from the choice of free will, not from the performance of a puppet."

Su Yuan's calm voice echoed in the small space.

"You don't even have the courage to give her a 'choice,' so how dare you talk about 'betrayal'?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Tang Lan's arm holding the gun began to tremble violently.

In her empty eyes, a trace of her own painful struggle emerged.

Her will was frantically fighting against the external control signal; the gun barrel swung violently up and down, unable to lock onto the target.

Su Yuan placed his palm on the cold warehouse door.

"I'll teach you what a more sophisticated betrayal is," he whispered.

"That is... using the rules you're so proud of to betray yourself!"

"Small Fire, activate the JY-series frequency jammer! Target: Armory gate! Maximum power, reverse injection of the same-frequency paradox signal!"

Om-!

An invisible torrent of signals crashed violently into the warehouse door.

The nameplate on the door emitted a sharp, mournful cry, and the high-frequency signals in Tang Lan's brain instantly collapsed.

She staggered, the gun in her hand clattering to the ground, her eyes regaining their clarity. Looking at her hand, her face was filled with lingering fear and relief.

The inscription on the door, which read "Prove that you 'understand' betrayal better than I do," shattered into pieces.

New lettering slowly appeared.

"Your understanding... surpasses mine. 'Paradox Armor'... acknowledges your qualification."

The heavy warehouse door opened inward with a deep rumble.

The armory was completely empty.

Only a set of elusive armor made of liquid metal, constantly shifting between reality and illusion, floats in the center. It seems to be a living thing, exuding an aura of chaos and contradiction.

The moment Su Yuan stepped in, a powerful mental shock struck him.

He hallucinated: Wang Hu stabbed him in the heart from behind, Tang Lan coldly led the team away, and the Devouring Wasteland fell apart...

This is the armor testing him with its deepest fears.

Su Yuan's eyes remained completely unmoved as he faced the illusion.

"If this is their choice, I will crush them and move on." His icy will responded directly to the armor. "My path is never defined by others, much less by false illusions."

The paradoxical armor emitted a buzzing sound, seemingly shaken by this will that transcended its logic.

It stopped attacking, and the liquid metal flowed onto Su Yuan's arm, forming a gauntlet that shimmered between reality and illusion.

It recognized Su Yuan.

The maintenance station's loudspeaker announced: "Weapon system access has been unlocked. JY-007 has gained 2/6 control."

At that very moment, the maintenance station shook violently.

JY-004's furious voice blared over the loudspeaker: "JY-007! You rat hiding in your hole! Game over, come out and accept my big gift!"

On the main control screen, the train image of JY-004 was displayed.

At the rear of her car, a dark golden energy cable was dragging K-002's severed, cracked, yet still terrifying giant head!

She actually turned the monster's remains into her own weapon.

On the control panel, the long-dormant blue light stone burst forth with dazzling light.

An unprecedentedly urgent thought was directly imprinted in Su Yuan's mind:

"Hurry! She's found the fourth node, 'The Tomb of Bones'! She's not controlling the corpses; she's awakening the 'First Corpse' sleeping within!"

Before the words were even finished, the dome of the armory began to collapse, and countless boulders crashed down.
