Chapter 037 Playing Pigs to Eat Tigers

Lin Xi turned around and asked Shen Sangning what she thought about the job she had taken a fancy to.

Shen Sangning was stunned, without any idea, she just nodded and said, "Okay."

Without further ado, Lin Xi returned home, took out a suitcase, sorted out her clothes, grabbed a few sets of furniture for herself, and then grabbed towels, toothbrushes, shampoo, and other supplies. Finally, she grabbed a pair of shoes for Chen Sangning. She stuffed all these things into the suitcase and took Chen Sangning out.

In order to prevent the No. 4 bus from driving away the moment it saw Chen Sang Ning, Lin Xi chose to let Chen Sang Ning return to her body, and waited at the bus platform alone with her suitcase.

Beyond the street in front of her, the area beyond was thick with fog. Lin Xi waited for a while, but no bus arrived. She stood up, walked around the platform, and found the bus sign. There were only a few buses on it: 4, 14, 41, and 404—just four.

The Rule Weird World really likes the number 4.

Lin Xi sighed, deliberately lingering a little longer so the Caihua team in the real world could record all the information plaques. Lin Xi's brain wasn't very good, and there were so many platforms up there that he definitely wouldn't be able to remember them all.

She could also choose to copy with pen and paper, which she had in her suitcase. But Lin Xi was lazy and didn't want to do it. Lin Xi couldn't help thinking, if only she had a cell phone, she could just take a picture. But unfortunately, her "home" didn't prepare a cell phone for her.

In the previous copy, I never saw my parents using mobile phones.

Maybe there is no mobile phone in this world?

Lin Xi was lost in thought for a moment before she realized something. Turning around, she saw a bus slowly approaching through the dense fog in the distance. The "4" on the front of the bus was particularly noticeable, glowing red, making it look formidable.

Lin Xi waited for it to slowly approach. With the sound of brakes screeching, the car slowly stopped in front of her. At this moment, Lin Xi wanted to get on the car directly. She had not forgotten the lesson from the "Snowpiercer" copy, that is, she should get off first and then get on. But for Lin Xi, the rules were not something she should pay much attention to. If she broke the rules, the driver or passengers would rush towards her, which would only be a pity for Shen Sang Ning.

But she thought about it and stopped, making sure no one was getting off. The driver began to urge her: "Are you going to get on or not?"

Lin Xi raised her head and smiled at the driver: "Of course I will."

She boarded the bus and stood in front of the coin box. Silence fell for a moment. The driver grew impatient: "Once you're on board, put in your coins and sit in the back." Lin Xi looked even more pitiful. She said, "But I don't have any money."

The driver looked very difficult to talk to, but he still said, "Forget it, just sit in the back."

Lin Xi said "thank you" and walked into the car with her suitcase. There were already a few people on the bus, and before Lin Xi had time to observe the passengers, she heard a voice coming from the bus broadcast.

"Welcome to bus No. 4, departing from... to the funeral home station. The bus is starting, please find a seat and take it. The platform ahead is Sanyan Station. Passengers getting off, please go to the back door in advance and prepare to get off! We are about to take bus No. 4..."

Needless to say, this was one of the bus rules: you had to find a seat and sit down while the bus was moving. As for what would happen to those without a seat, Lin Xi could probably guess. She obediently found a seat with her suitcase in hand. After she sat down, she looked around and saw that the area marked "Give way to the elderly, the weak, the sick, the disabled, and pregnant women" had been replaced with a list of bus rules.

It's actually pretty easy to follow. Just sit still while the car is moving, don't stick your head or hands out of the window, and make sure there's no one outside the window while the car is moving. The most important thing to note is that if you encounter someone, close the window immediately.

In the world of ghost stories, anything is possible. Maybe there will be a ghost in a white dress running outside the window at the same speed as the bus, while knocking on the bus window with its hands.

This kind of ghost story is quite common.

After reviewing the bus regulations, Lin Xi turned her attention to the passengers. There were quite a few on the bus. Lin Xi counted them and found about ten people, including herself. She specifically sought a window seat in the back, a double seat, with her suitcase next to it.

Lin Xi looked incredibly well behaved at this moment, like an ordinary person who had strayed into the world of a strange story. She hadn't missed the look the driver had given her just now; it was a look filled with greed and longing, as if he wanted to eat her.

As the name implies, he wants to eat himself.

Lin Xi hadn't seen this kind of look in previous dungeons, but she did see it when watching the Snowpiercer livestream. The ghosts in "Home Sweet Home" didn't show that kind of expression. Perhaps it was because she was cloaked in the guise of family, and as family, they were supposed to love each other, so naturally, they wouldn't want to eat her.

But inside the Snowpiercer, almost every ghost that the camera scanned showed a longing expression.

Lin Xi understood that ghost stories were all about eating people. But his wife, Shen Sangning, was an exception. Not only did she not eat people, she also ate ghosts.

The audience in the live broadcast room saw clearly that she was acting like a good girl. Even if some people didn’t understand, they would ask in the comments: [Miss Lin Xi, what is this?

What? She doesn't look like her usual self at all. 】

Someone immediately responded: [Stupid, she is just pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger! ]

[Indeed, I just looked at the bus information board and it seems like there are still several stops to the final stop, the funeral parlor. During this time, someone... no, a ghost will definitely get on the bus.]

[When there are the most ghosts, release Ningning and let her eat as much as she wants.]

It's so bad, but I like it.

Some people are happy while others are worried. Some people are not optimistic about Lin Xi:

[Lin Xi was a little too confident, and directly chose a job that paid 3,000 yuan. ]

[And it's a funeral home. A funeral home is not an easy place to conquer. Will Lin Xi die here?]

[I don’t dare to watch it anymore. I’ll go to another live broadcast room first. ]

Lin Xi had previously guessed what the other anchors were up to now, but the reality was that those anchors didn't have access to Lin Xi's archives, and they had no place to live. As soon as they opened their eyes, they were thrown in front of the bulletin board, holding the envelopes given to them by the Kaidan World.

Faced with a dizzying array of job postings, they had no choice but to use their brains to sift through them. First and foremost, they had to find a job with room and board. Lin Xi chose a job with room and board because she was afraid of the hassle, but for them, it was a lifesaver.

Because they have no place to live, if the job they find doesn't provide food and accommodation, they will have to find a place to live. At the same time, they can't deal with all the ghosts and monsters that appear on the road every day. This mission requires 3 days plus a month, which is a big problem for the anchors, so they will definitely give priority to jobs that provide food and accommodation.

But providing food and lodging also carries other risks. This kind of work accommodation certainly wouldn't be a single room, so they had to be wary of their roommates. This inevitably reminded them of the passenger in their compartment in the previous dungeon, "Snowpiercer," and the older sister in "Sweet Home." If her sister were someone who could still talk, it would be fine. But if she were like that passenger, finding an excuse to kill someone, then that would be truly unlucky.

Of course, there are also those who want to be clever. The bulletin board not only has recruitment information, but also rental notices. Some people found the news that they can pay the rent later, and prepared to try their luck according to the address mentioned above.

And then… and then he was killed. There's no such thing as a free lunch in this world, whether it's the real world or the world of rule-based tales. If a particularly attractive offer appears, there's probably something wrong.

Fortunately, most anchors are not tempted. They would think twice before acting in the real world, let alone this world.

After deciding on their ideal jobs, everyone set off, boarding different buses and heading to different platforms. The bus ride was not as difficult as Snowpiercer, but one still had to be careful. Some anchors were too cautious and were looking for bus rules as soon as they got on the bus, so they didn't hear the announcement.

After the bus started, they still hadn't found a seat. The people outside were extremely anxious, but fortunately, the anchors quickly found a seat after being prompted. Some anchors, however, didn't react even after receiving the prompt and were immediately dismissed by the driver.

Although the streamers chose different professions, it was no surprise that none of them chose a funeral home. That place looked dangerous, and with a 3,000 yuan salary, including food and lodging, they weren't fools. How could they go to a place that looked like a trap?

Only Lin Xi, impulsively, chose this job directly.

It’s no wonder that some viewers thought Lin Xi was too arrogant and chose this thing.

Back to the point, Lin Xi played the good girl for quite a while, and the bus finally stopped. While the bus was moving, the windows were foggy and nothing could be seen clearly. But after it stopped, she could actually see the bus platform outside.

Lin Xi was sitting in the back seat by the window, so she could clearly see two people waiting for the bus on the platform. After the bus stopped, the two people got on. After they got on, they looked around the car and soon their eyes fell on Lin Xi.

Lin Xi was very perceptive and observant. She could see that the two men glanced at her and simultaneously chose to move to the back row. Although there were a few passengers in the carriage, the seats in the front were still quite empty. They had come to the back row on purpose.

One of them glanced at the empty seat next to Lin Xi, but unfortunately, a suitcase was blocking the space, so he could only sit on the double seat next to him with a look of regret. The other one was slower and could only sit behind Lin Xi.
