Rebirth: Infinite Train

The door opened quickly, revealing Barrett's face. The wrinkles on his face seemed deeper than when they met yesterday, as if he had aged more than ten years overnight.

"What are you doing here again? Didn't I tell you I don't know what the fragments are? Get out of here!"

His temper is still so bad.

Lin Yaoyao explained, "Don't get me wrong, we are not here to look for fragments. We just happened to see that you were in trouble, so we wanted to come over and ask if you need our help."

Barrett paused for a moment, then his expression suddenly relaxed.

"Are you adventurers who have accepted the mission? Welcome, please come in!"

Lin Yaoyao: ???

I mean, it feels like you've been forced to enter execution code, which is a bit scary.

But Lin Yaoyao and the other person still went in.

As soon as she entered the house, she smelled the faint stench again, heard faint moans in her ears, and the creaking floorboards, it was the perfect location for a horror movie.

This time Barrett took them into the living room.

Once they sat down, they were even given two cups filled with strange liquid and placed in front of them.

Both of them smiled and nodded politely at Barrett, but refused to drink a sip.

"Thank you, respected adventurers, for coming all the way to help me."

Lin Yaoyao still smiled, "Don't be polite with us, can you please tell us what trouble you have encountered? If possible, we would like to do our best to help you solve it."

Barrett frowned in distress. "To be honest, I did run into trouble. That despicable old lady coveted my treasure and even led the mermaids to attack my island."

"Oh?"

Lin Yaoyao pretended to be surprised and said to Barrett indignantly, "That's too much. Don't worry, we will definitely help you."

No mention of treasure.

Barrett was very satisfied with their attitude and said in a kinder tone, "Thank you very much for your help."

"It's just that, although I'm sorry, my place is too crowded and there's really no place to accommodate you."

Lin Yaoyao shook her head. "You are too polite. We don't have to stay here. My boat is parked right on the shore. Just call us if you need anything."

But she still heard the hidden meaning of Barrett's words and stood up and walked towards the door.

Barrett smiled and said to the guests, "I'll trouble you guys when the time comes."

When Lin Yaoyao and the other person came out of Barrett's house, she asked Yunchuan.

"Yunchuan, did you see it?"

Yunchuan nodded, "Yes, he was very weak, and seemed to be trying hard to hide something. Some parts of his skin were festering, so his clothes were wrapped very tightly, but he might not have noticed that there were also festering skin on his neck."

"The symptoms are very similar to the woman I saw last night." Lin Yaoyao continued.

Yunchuan curled his lips and said, "There are puzzles everywhere."

Lin Yaoyao also laughed, "Yes, it feels like there are problems that need to be solved one after another, but let's go meet that Yizhihua first. I'm very curious about what his relationship with Granny Turtle is."

Yunchuan expressed no objection.

The sun was high in the sky, and the ship was filled with wounded soldiers. There were very few passengers on the train who had learned medical skills.

Because medical skills are different from ordinary attribute tests, it tests theoretical knowledge.

That’s right, it’s an online test. If you fail, you can’t buy this skill even if you have points.

So even though Yizhihua suddenly became rich, there was no one on the ship who knew how to treat his wounds, and he could only simply bandage them with gauze.

When Lin Yaoyao's boat approached, the people on the boat stood up in panic, revealing masks of pain as they stood up.

Few people can endure the pain of burns.

Old Ma's face was full of gloating, "A bunch of young men are so lazy, lying still in broad daylight."

She always had a loud voice, and the two boats were close to each other, so every word she said was heard by the other side.

Yizhihua was also enduring the burning pain on her hands, and she pulled the corners of her mouth, but she couldn't smile.

I could only say with a fake smile, "I wonder why Sister Yaoyao is here."

"Who are you calling sister, you idiot? Don't you see the wrinkles on your face? You think my uncle Yaoyao is too old."

Lin Yaoyao couldn't suppress her smile anymore and turned her head away.

Yizhihua looked unhappy after being scolded by Old Lady Ma, but she didn't dare to get angry, so she could only continue to say, "I called you the wrong name. I don't know why Sister Yaoyao came to see me?"

Old Mrs. Ma wanted to open her mouth to scold him again, but was stopped by Lin Yaoyao. If she continued to scold him, there would be no need to discuss business today.

Lin Yaoyao: "Nothing else. I just received a request from Wizard Barrett. He said that a shameless person coveted his treasure and brought mermaids to attack his island, so I came to see who this shameless person is."

Although in the eyes of Wizard Barrett, there was no such person as Yizhihua and he didn't even mention her.

Old Mrs. Ma glanced at Lin Yaoyao, and stopped her from scolding, and instead scolded even more harshly herself.

Yizhihua's face looks like a color palette, sometimes blue, sometimes red.

"He may have misunderstood. I'm just helping the mermaids get back what belongs to them."

"Oh?" Lin Yaoyao looked troubled. "Then what you two said are different. Who should I believe?"

Yizhihua really wanted to curse loudly, asking who the hell asked him to believe, but he didn't dare, not to mention that most of the people on his boat were half-crippled.

Even if he was not disabled, he did not dare to turn against Lin Yaoyao and the people on her boat. If he was not careful, it would be okay if the others died, but he would also lose his life.

So he carefully considered his words and replied again, "It must be Wizard Barrett who misunderstood. I really was asking for something for the mermaids. Their...treasure was accidentally picked up by Wizard Barrett, so he came to ask for it back."

Lin Yaoyao smiled as two cold ice blades circled around a flower, as if they would fly over at any time.

"It seems that you can't explain what's going on. Then I have no choice but to take your head to Wizard Barrett."

Yizhihua was so frightened that her legs were trembling. She tried her best to remain calm, but ultimately failed.

"I'm telling you! I'm telling you! It was really the mermaids who asked me to do this. The fragment of their queen's inner pearl was stolen by Barrett. He lied. That thing belongs to the mermaids."

Lin Yaoyao then asked, "How do you prove that what you said is true?"

"I..." Yizhihua thought that the fragments were stolen before she even warmed them in her hands, and she really had no evidence to produce.

"I can show you my task panel. I really accepted the task. It was issued to me by a mermaid named Granny Turtle. We met by chance. She said she was looking for the inner pearl fragment of the mermaid queen and asked me to help her."

"I have also met mermaids, but they never mentioned any fragments of the mermaid queen's inner pearl, let alone any person like Granny Turtle."

Lin Yaoyao jumped onto Yizhihua's boat, talking nonsense, intending to take a look at his task panel.
