Chapter 20
Monkey's Shock, Gui Yenye's Rekindled Hope

Hearing the train announcement, Gui Yan Ye suddenly raised her head, her eyes filled with terror.

Usually, she would have woken up by now, but this time, she had no intention of waking up at all!

She looked at the monkey not far away, only to see that the monkey had already stuffed its eyeballs into its eye sockets, and a power saw had appeared in its hand at some point!

The monkey stared at Gui Yan Ye with the woman's eyes, looking at the girl with a gaze as if those eyes were meant to be the monkey's.

Desperate to live, Gui Yan Ye started to struggle again, constantly trying to get up and escape, but just like before, it was all in vain.

“Buzz!”

The monkey turned on the saw, smiling as it approached Gui Yan Ye.

The cold, familiar words rang in Gui Yan Ye's mind:

“No, you won't escape again...”

“This train's final stop – death!”

“Buzz!”

The saw's teeth tore through the air, making a buzzing sound, a sound like the death knell of hell.

Seeing the monkey getting closer, Gui Yan Ye panicked:

“No, don't come here! Don't come here!”

“Please, don't, don't...”

The girl begged, she didn't want to die so senselessly in this place, she still had her home, her mother, and her heart waiting for her to return!

She still had friends! Even though she had only made friends recently.

Why, why did the world have to do this to her?!

Gui Yan Ye didn't understand, she didn't know why this was happening.

But the monkey ignored the girl's pleas, the woman's eyes glowed red, her thin, dry hands held the saw, ready to chop off Gui Yan Ye's legs!

“Hee hee hee!!! Stay here!!!”

The monkey let out a strange laugh, shouting, trying to keep Gui Yan Ye in her dream forever.

The girl closed her eyes weakly, no longer struggling, as if she had accepted her impending fate.

Just as the saw was about to cut off Gui Yan Ye's legs, tearing the girl's flesh apart, a voice suddenly interrupted the monkey's actions.

“Huh? Came in!”

The monkey froze upon hearing the voice.

New passengers?

But, something's wrong! The Monkey Train only adds one passenger at a time, the one in front hasn't merged with the Monkey Train yet, how can it suddenly pull in a new passenger?

Could it be an intruder?!

Thinking of this, the monkey's wanton smile disappeared, replaced by boundless anger!

How dare, how dare someone dare to intrude into the Monkey Train?!

Unforgivable! Unpardonable!

The Monkey Train does not welcome intruders!

Slice! Saw! Gut! Mangle!

Forever, stay on the Monkey Train!

The monkey thought, turning around abruptly, its gaze quickly found the intruder.

It was a young man sitting in the front row, easy to spot, all the humans assimilated by the Monkey Train are just husks, replaying their death every day, but the young man was scanning his surroundings, clearly a living person!

Looking at the young man, the monkey tightened its grip on the saw, while the young man's gaze also fell on it.

Seeing the monkey and the closed-eyed Gui Yan Ye with tears on her face, the young man smiled, immediately calling out to Gui Yan Ye:

“Gui-san!”

Hearing the voice, Gui Yan Ye's body trembled, but she didn't open her eyes, only silently thinking in her heart:

“Is this a deathbed vision? I'm dead, aren't I...”

“But why was Nakanoyo-san the first to appear? Could it be that Nakanoyo-san is important in her heart?”

“Of course, after all, Nakanoyo-san is the first, besides Kokoro and Kasan, who would care about her...”

Gui Yan Ye thought to herself, she couldn't imagine that Nakanoyo Yu was on the Monkey Train, and he was here to save her!

“Woo woo woo!!!”

Seeing the intruder's arrogance, the monkey let out a piercing cry, leaped into the air, holding the saw, and charged towards Nakanoyo Yu.

Seeing an ugly, one-eyed monkey charging towards him, Nakanoyo Yu frowned.

Then, in the face of the monkey's angry gaze, he slowly stood up.

The monkey, still in mid-air, looked at the young man standing up, the bloodlust in its eyes gradually dissipated, replaced by overflowing disbelief.

Before the monkey could react, Nakanoyo Yu took two steps forward, grabbed the monkey's head, and threw it away.

“Whoa!!!”

Clutching the saw, the monkey hadn't realized what had happened before it flew backwards, crashing heavily into the railing at the end of the train.

Wiping his hand with a hint of disgust, Nakanoyo Yu walked towards Gui Yan Ye, who was closing her eyes and trembling slightly, and gently called out her name:

“Gui-san? Are you alright?”

“So, so real, the regret of death, would it be so real? It's like the real Nakanoyo-san, appearing by her side.”

With her eyes closed, Gui Yan Ye thought.

Seeing the girl's appearance, Nakanoyo Yu pulled the corner of his mouth helplessly, poked Gui Yan Ye's cheek, and spoke again:

“Gui-san, I'm here to save you, open your eyes and look.”

Feeling the warm touch, Gui Yan Ye was taken aback, tentatively opening her eyes, she saw the young man's familiar face.

“Na, Nakanoyo-san... really, really is it you?!”

Looking at Nakanoyo Yu so close, Gui Yan Ye was still a little disbelieving, reaching out to touch Nakanoyo Yu, but afraid that Nakanoyo Yu would disappear like an illusion.

Seeing this, Nakanoyo Yu sighed, took Gui Yan Ye's hand, and said:

“Don't worry, I'm right here.”

Feeling the young man's thick palm, Gui Yan Ye finally couldn't hold back.

All this time, every time she went to sleep, she went to sleep with fear, every time she got on the Monkey Train, she was all alone!

But now... it's not anymore! Someone is saving her!

Thinking this, Gui Yan Ye's eyes gradually became filled with mist, the anxiety and fear of the past two days were released with tears at this moment.

“Na, Nakanoyo-san! It's you! It's really you! You came to save me!”

Gui Yan Ye cried, clutching Nakanoyo Yu tightly, afraid that the young man would disappear, if not for the fact that she couldn't get up, Gui Yan Ye would probably be hugging Nakanoyo Yu tightly and wouldn't let go.

“Don't worry, I'll take you out.”

Understanding Gui Yan Ye's helplessness and grievance, Nakanoyo Yu didn't know how to comfort her, so he could only speak softly, stroking the girl's hair.

Upon hearing this, Gui Yan Ye looked up, about to say something, but suddenly her eyes narrowed, she exclaimed:

“Nakanoyo-san, behind you!”

Behind Nakanoyo Yu, the monkey that had been thrown away was now clinging to the roof of the Monkey Train, and beside it were two or three other monkeys, also holding saws.

“Woo!”

The monkey let out a cry, and at the same time pounced on Nakanoyo Yu, the saw in its hand spinning, slashing at the young man's neck.

Nakanoyo Yu turned his head at the same time, but faced with a group of monkeys armed with weapons, his expression remained calm.

He had already become a Demon King, possessing terrifying defensive capabilities, these monkeys' saws couldn't even break through his skin.

Faced with a group of monkeys, Nakanoyo Yu simply raised his hand, a golden long sword appeared in the young man's hand.

“Buzz!”

Nakanoyo Yu swung his sword, the sword's cry rang out, with a single strike, he cut all the monkeys in half.

The monkeys' remains, carrying saws, fell in front of Nakanoyo Yu, turning into black water and sinking into the Monkey Train.

Noticing this, Nakanoyo Yu frowned, it seemed that the monkey was just the manifestation of the Monkey Train, perhaps the Monkey Train itself was the true form.

Thinking to himself, Nakanoyo Yu turned to face Gui Yan Ye, but saw the girl staring at him with shock and admiration.

“Gui-san, your mother is very worried about you, I'll send you back now.”

Putting away Juwa Yius, Nakanoyo Yu squatted down slightly, saying.

“I, can I go back?”

Upon hearing this, Gui Yan Ye looked surprised, asking with some anticipation.

“Of course, as long as Gui-san doesn't mind.”

Nakanoyo Yu nodded, smiling.

“No... but, what about Nakanoyo-san?”

Gui Yan Ye was about to say she didn't mind, but suddenly realized that Nakanoyo Yu's meaning did not include himself going back.

“Me? I still have things to deal with, it's a little inconvenient for Gui-san to be here.”

Nakanoyo Yu shook his head gently, pulling out an excuse that she was a burden to leave here.

“Okay.... Nakanoyo-san, be careful.”

Gui Yan Ye nodded upon hearing this, biting her lower lip, understanding that she was useless staying here, she could only nod.

“Then, excuse me.”

Seeing Gui Yan Ye nod, Nakanoyo Yu said softly, then looked up in Gui Yan Ye's shocked gaze, and leaned in.

The moment the two touched, Nakanoyo Yu emitted a brilliant golden light, quickly enveloping Gui Yan Ye.

A moment later, they parted, the young man looked at Gui Yan Ye, smiled, and waved:

“Then, see you later.”

At this time, Gui Yan Ye obviously hadn't reacted, she touched her lips with one hand, looking at Nakanoyo Yu, about to say something, a flash of golden light, she disappeared from the Monkey Train.
