Death Train: SSS-level talent right from the start!

The next day.

Four o'clock in the morning.

The death train began broadcasting its announcement precisely 17 hours after it had been traveling at a constant speed.

"Dear passengers, the G4939 Death Train will arrive in the City of Sin in two hours. The survival trial in the City of Sin will last for 7 days. Please note that the points shop will be unavailable during the survival trial. Please redeem any necessary supplies in advance. Have a pleasant journey!"

The synthesized female voice on the radio was the same as always, devoid of any emotion, and the electrical noise lingered for several seconds after the voice finished before finally fading away completely.

Qin Zhaoyang sat up straight in his chair, stretched, and his bones cracked slightly. "The trial duration hasn't increased. Shouldn't the increased difficulty have increased the trial duration?"

"Whether the trial duration is increased or not, this trial will definitely be a four-star difficulty, so we must be extremely careful."

Zhao Hai sat across the aisle, his arms crossed over his chest, his brows slightly furrowed.

Wen Ning and Zhou Yating in the front row were exchanging for the supplies they needed.

Gu Qinghuan in the back row was still resting with her eyes closed.

Chen Ye leaned back in his seat and didn't reply.

His gaze fell on the swirling gray-white mist outside the window, his fingers tapping lightly on the armrest of his seat, his mind already rapidly calculating the possible types of mechanisms that might occur.

Two hours slipped by quietly amidst the rustling of wheels against the rails.

The train's announcement system came on again.

"Attention passengers, the G4939 Death Train is about to arrive at the South Station of the City of Sin. Please prepare to disembark. I repeat, please prepare to disembark. Those who do not disembark will be eliminated according to the rules."

The moment the broadcast ended, the train began to slow down, its speed gradually decreasing from its high-frequency operation, and a heavy metallic scraping sound came from the wheels and the rails.

The grayish-white fog outside the car window began to dissipate, revealing a medieval European town.

Ancient castles dot the town, their gray-white stone walls stretching to the horizon, topped with crenellations and watchtowers.

The moment the train came to a stop, the carriage doors slid open, and the cold morning air rushed in from outside.

Chen Ye stood up and walked towards the car door.

Gu Qinghuan, Zhao Hai, Wen Ning, Qin Zhaoyang, and Zhou Yating followed one after another.

The moment he stepped out of the car, the system panel popped up automatically, and a pale blue light screen unfolded in front of him.

Chen Ye looked down and scanned the system screen in front of him.

[Survival Trial Begins!]

[Trial Setting: City of Sin]

[Trial Difficulty: ★★★★]

[Trains involved: G4904, G4939]

[Kill Points: 0]

Survival Points: 0

[Trial Quest: Proof of the Seven Sins (0/1)]

[Mission Hint: The Seven Sins encompass pride, envy, wrath, sloth, greed, gluttony, and lust. Participate in the Seven Sins Trials within the City of Sin to obtain corresponding Tokens of Sin. Passengers can exchange these Tokens of Sin.]

[When the trial begins, each passenger will receive a Sin Mark based on their own character. The Sin Mark will significantly increase the difficulty of the corresponding trial. When the trial countdown ends, passengers who have not collected all seven sins will be eliminated by the rules.]

Countdown: 167:59:59

At the bottom of the screen is a map of sin marks, with seven marks of different shapes.

The crown symbol represents pride, the mirror symbol represents envy, the sword symbol represents wrath, the hourglass symbol represents sloth, the chest symbol represents greed, the silver cup symbol represents gluttony, and the rose symbol represents lust.

Chen Ye carefully read through all the trial rules and information from beginning to end, then turned off the system light screen and looked up at his teammates.

A crown-shaped mark of arrogance floats above Gu Qinghuan's head.

Zhao Hai's head was completely empty, without any mark of sin.

Chen Ye understood that this big guy who had come all the way from the Corpse Capital was kind-hearted and had no dark side.

Wen Ning has an hourglass-shaped mark on her head that reads "laziness".

She was tilting her head slightly to look at the marks on other people's heads, and after noticing Chen Ye's gaze, she shrugged slightly.

Zhou Yating has a rose-shaped cursor above her head, representing the mark of "lust," which is quite a contrast.

As for the two marks on Qin Zhaoyang's head, one is an hourglass-shaped mark of "sloth" and the other is a silver cup-shaped mark of "gluttony," which is quite in line with his character of being gluttonous and lazy.

A treasure chest-shaped mark of "greed" appeared above Chen Ye's head.

Qin Zhaoyang's gaze fell on the rose-shaped mark on Zhou Yating's head. He stared at it for two seconds, then a slow smile curved his lips: "Class monitor, why is your mark a lust symbol?"

His tone carried an irrepressible chuckle.

Zhou Yating's cheeks flushed instantly. The mark of sin was a reflection of her inner self, which meant that she might be a female pervert.

She turned her head away from Qin Zhaoyang, but the blush had already spread from her cheeks to her ears.

"You talk too much nonsense."

Zhao Hai walked up from behind and slapped Qin Zhaoyang on the back of the head with a moderate force.

Qin Zhaoyang staggered forward half a step after being slapped, rubbed the back of his head and chuckled twice, not daring to continue his banter.

Wen Ning withdrew her gaze from the marks above everyone's heads, her tone thoughtful and serious: "These are the Seven Deadly Sins, aren't they? According to the rules, these sin marks above our heads are like a debuff."

Wen Ning nodded slightly: "That's right. Among us, only Zhao Hai doesn't have the mark of sin. He is the most likely to obtain the seven marks of sin."

Gu Qinghuan continued, "Proofs of Sin can be exchanged. That is to say, proofs of sin produced by trials corresponding to our own sinful imprints can be obtained through exchange."

"If you can get it yourself, you should get it yourself. This is completely different from the Survival Mark. The rules do not say that killing other passengers will get you the Sin Token. The Sin Token can only be exchanged voluntarily between passengers. If other passengers are unwilling to exchange, killing them will not help."

After Chen Ye finished speaking, he glanced at the marks on the heads of everyone in his team and silently went through them in his mind.

Gu Qinghuan is arrogant, Wen Ning is lazy, Zhou Yating is lustful, Qin Zhaoyang is the most outrageous, possessing both sloth and gluttony in the seven sins, and greed himself, while Zhao Hai has no mark of sin.

"This time, it'll be up to Hai Ge to perform." He turned his gaze to Zhao Hai: "You don't have the mark of sin, which means that participating in any of the Seven Sins trials won't increase the difficulty. This is a huge advantage."

Zhao Hai nodded slightly: "Just tell me what you need me to do."

"Let's see how things go first."

Chen Ye turned his gaze to the other passengers in the station, each of whom had more or less the marks of sin on their heads.

There were as few as one, and as many as four. Among the passengers present, besides Zhao Hai who had no criminal mark, the other person without a criminal mark was Lu Qingchuan.
