Kaidan Game Train: Abide Rule or Die!

"Gao Hui appeared in Moon Corner Duchy with so many players, it’s impossible to keep it hidden; many people in Moon Corner Duchy are hunting him. He briefly disappeared only after fleeing to a city where Wan Family lived over a decade ago."

"Whether he has the token or what the national treasure is, even my adoptive father doesn’t know. But not long after, Gao Hui appeared again, this time with fewer players protecting him. Less than half a year later, news of Gao Hui’s death first circulated in a border town."

"My adoptive father personally sought verification, but found no substantial evidence. Yet, upon returning, he said Gao Hui’s death must be related to the Wan Family, possibly involving many more Gao descendants."

"Gao Hui seeking out Gao descendants became his death warrant instead. I speculate that among the forces pursuing him, there are certainly Gao descendants involved or they facilitated it."

Beibao remarked smugly, "He committed many evil acts; this end is a cheap price for him."

Xu Huo said nothing because there seemed to be apparent contradictions in this matter.

Gao Hui first escaped Yu Country, then returned to Zone 039, and visited Yongta and Moon Corner Duchy.

There must be Gao descendants in Yu Country, probably in significant numbers. He couldn’t avoid seeking them out. This is evident from his prior attempt to seek help from the Supreme God Court. But if he was clear that the Gao descendants in Yu Country wouldn’t help him, why was he certain that those in Yongta and Moon Corner would assist him?

He likely ran into obstacles more than once. Yongta and Moon Corner would be aware of the situation in Yu Country. Gao Hui’s persistence — was it clutching at straws or does he have another card up his sleeve?

Also, the attitude of Gao descendants towards him is peculiar. Given their twenty-year stance as observers of chaos in Yu Country, these folks are not inclined to eliminate harm for the nation. Perhaps when Gao Hui showed up at their door, they might attack him, but there’s no necessity to send people to hunt him down.

The national treasure has long exceeded the scope of a "token." Gao descendants hide their identities; it’s unlikely they’d expose themselves to fight over a few props. They’ve inherited for hundreds of years. Even continuously inheriting the surname poses no threat to themselves or the national government, so even though Gao Hui might know the identity of many among them, it’s hard to coerce them into action.

Zone 039 has been in turmoil for long; the current three nations have long merged countless countries. There exists no foundation for serving old nations by betraying current states...

Gao Hui possesses the identities of many Gao descendants in Moon Corner Duchy. These descendants play an essential role in the pursuit and death of Gao Hui. Their motivation to kill Gao Hui should primarily be to avoid being exposed, yet Gao Hui dared to use this seemingly weak card to approach them...

If so, it indicates that the card in Gao Hui’s hand is indeed a valuable card, while Gao descendants also genuinely wish not to reveal themselves.

Gao descendants do not want to expose themselves, and Gao Hui knows much about them. Therefore, what’s in his possession becomes obvious — a roster recording generations of Gao descendants’ identities.

Or perhaps "genealogy" might be more fitting.

This conjecture is quite plausible. Firstly, Gao’s legacy and the Supreme God Sect have an enigmatic relationship. The continued existence of the Supreme God Sect is largely related to historical rulers. If rulers allowed the Supreme God Sect’s existence, then Gao, as part of this organization, being traced and recorded over generations is normal, with the roster likely held by national top rulers.

However, for all these actions to logically exist, there must be a prerequisite that the Gao lineage holds inheritable value, or at least some people perceive Gao as having this value.

This inevitably calls for an inquiry into the origin of the "national treasure" — Peng Guan. Peng Guan’s descendants historically merged with the Supreme God Sect, and perhaps the sect’s survival till now is because Peng Guan’s descendants became the core of this religion?

With this reasoning, Xu Huo finds some peace, pulling the boss downstairs beaten black and blue to the front, asking directly, "Are you a descendant of Peng Guan?"

The boss seemed not to respond initially due to pain, but when Xu Huo attempted to inject him with the syringe, the man’s hand swiftly slashed at his wrist, revealing a slender blade!

Xu Huo instinctively released his hold, refrained from advancing, and touched the "Time Ring."

After the boss freed himself, he immediately lunged at Beibao, but after the time force swept him and his space artifact absorbed it, he disappeared from the room without hesitation!

Watching this scene, Beibao’s eyes almost burst with absurdity, muttering feebly after a moment, "I don’t know whether to curse him or curse myself."

Xu Huo’s speculation was confirmed; it mattered little whether he fled or not.

The surnames Gao and Peng may have long intermingled over time, and Peng Guan’s descendants, as the Assassin Family’s heir, formed inner and outer factions with Gao descendants. Govingly, Gao descendants formed a roster in the ruler’s hand, while Peng descendants continued the Assassin Family’s tradition under the guise of the Supreme God Sect.

Legend has it this Assassin Family possesses extraordinary talents, likely why they survived till now. And compared to the Gao surname, the Peng surname is likely continuously passed down by blood.

Nevertheless, even if the two families are kin, they are distant kin over hundreds of years. Even if Peng Guan’s descendants are continually talented, relying solely on the Gao surname, or descendants potentially born from Peng and Gao, is challenging to genuinely mobilize Peng descendants.

Thus, one could likely trace Peng descendants from Gao’s roster, but due to the long lapse of time and the present player interactions, formidable Peng descendants can readily relocate their families to different zones for safety.

Hence, the roster’s threat does exist but doesn’t jeopardize every member of Gao and Peng surnames.

Yet, it’s exceedingly challenging to ascertain the current state of Gao and Peng surnames; Gao Hui, finding Yongta and Moon Corner, was pursued back then, making it certain someone among these families holds significant positions in the two nations, wary of political enemies targeting them.

The current whereabouts of the national treasure are unknown, and there are too many murky accounts in between; it’s unclear what consequences retrieving the "national treasure" might bring. But regardless of what’s envisioned, the collective effort to rebuild Yu Country seems nearly impossible, and as player forces rise, past rulers’ ideal of using Peng Guan descendants as strategic forces can only remain wishful thinking.

Nonetheless, the "national treasure" still needs to be found. Xu Huo packed Wan Yao into a container prop, telling Beibao, "I now need to visit the Wan Family."
