Chapter 100 No Nightlife (Catch Bugs)
Lin Xi pulled Shen Sangning, but Shen Sangning pouted and walked behind Lin Xi. She stayed behind Lin Xi and glared at Wei Ziqi with dissatisfaction.
Lin Xi said to Wei Ziqi, "Thank you for your concern, but we each have our own way of passing the level. I think my method is the most reliable. And... your method, which you think is very reliable, is of no use to me or Wang Xue. I have almost no contact with students and teachers in the school, so I can't use your method to pass the level. The same is true for Wang Xue. She can only see teachers and students at lunch time. In this case, how can she pass the level?"
The things that Wei Ziqi had been missing were pointed out, and Wang Xue fell into deep worry.
"This is a group dungeon, and it's definitely not as easy as you think. To clear it, I have to make them accept the concept of 'human', or become a being they accept. I don't want to be that kind of being, so I can only try to make those ghosts accept the concept of 'human'."
Regardless of what Wei Ziqi and the other three thought, Li Lanna outside was deeply moved. She stared at the screen, then at her teacher, muttering, "Lin Xi has grown so much."
In the first dungeon, "Sweet Home," Lin Xi even initially mistook her identity as "sister," believing herself to be "sister." Such a clueless Lin Xi, who would have been killed on the first day if it weren't for Chen Sang Ning, had actually thought of so much.
Lin Xi is growing, and growing very fast, faster than anyone expected.
Cai Hua nodded. While Lin Xi wasn't exactly bright, she was definitely not stupid. She possessed a fierce drive, and most importantly, she often had flashes of inspiration. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been so sharp in grasping the key to breaking through this dungeon. Cai Hua and the others still felt that Lin Xi's path was the right one.
But they would not say anything about Wei Ziqi in private. If someone else did what Wei Ziqi did, many people would choose to do the same.
After Lin Xi finished exchanging information with them, she went home. It was still a long time before evening self-study ended, so they had to make a nice meal for Shen Sangning in the evening. After Shen Sangning had a small snack on the bus, she went home and enjoyed the feast that Lin Xi had made.
Lin Lin is not at home today, so the "home" did not refresh with prawns, but was replaced with lamb chops and salmon heads.
Lin Xi cooked salmon head pot, grilled lamb chops, and two other vegetable dishes, then invited Shen Sang Ning to eat together.
Actually, cooking can be quite tiresome if done for a long time. Especially the process of washing and preparing the vegetables. Lin Xi is not a very patient person, and she is fed up with washing vegetables. In the past, when Chen Sang Ning was still alive, Lin Xi would also assign her the task of washing vegetables on Saturdays and Sundays.
But now, Lin Xi enjoys it.
She hadn't felt that way before, but now, every day she could cook a meal for Shen Sangning was a blessing. She didn't let Shen Sangning interfere when washing vegetables, instead letting her stay by her side. As long as Shen Sangning was around, Lin Xi found washing vegetables pleasurable. Now, she no longer wanted to stay in the world of rules and strange stories, or die in it.
Because... Zhu Zhu obviously didn't turn into a ghost!
The lecture hall was already in such a state, so Zhu Zhu would obviously have received a lot of buffs if she stayed there, but there wasn't even a trace of Zhu Zhu in the lecture hall! In other words, if a living person dies in the Rules Ghost Story, they are truly dead! They won't turn into a ghost!
Then why is she still thinking "It would be nice if I could stay in the rule story"? Forget it... She should try her best to survive, successfully pass the level, and then one day, bring Shen Sang Ning back to the real world.
Lin Xi was preparing the side dishes for the grilled lamb chops. After finishing the preparations, she stuffed the marinated lamb chops into the oven. Then she started to wash the vegetables. Today she had spinach, so she took the spinach out of the refrigerator and put it in the kitchen sink. She boiled water and soaked it for a while before slowly washing it.
To be honest, it is very difficult to wash spinach. Although it is simple, quick and delicious to make, it is not easy to clean.
Because spinach has many leaves and its roots are still growing in the ground, harvesting it is simply a matter of pulling it out of the ground and cutting off the roots, leaving only a small amount. Then, give it a few shakes to remove any visible dirt. So, after buying it home, you need to carefully clean it. Break the leaves apart and wash them thoroughly, removing all the dirt.
Lin Xi washed the spinach carefully, and there was a lot of spinach, so it took her 20 minutes to wash the spinach. At this time, the lamb chops were baked for the first time, and Lin Xi turned them over, applied a second layer of sesame sauce, and put them in the oven to continue baking.
When Lin Xi took out the lamb chops, Chen Sang Ning came close to her, sniffed it and said, "Wife, it smells good."
"Of course, don't you see who I am!" Lin Xi's tail was almost up to the sky, and Shen Sangning laughed softly.
An hour later, Lin Xi finally finished preparing dinner. They'd feast whenever Lin Lin wasn't home. Of course, even if Lin Lin knew, she couldn't do anything. But Lin Xi couldn't help but feel a little guilty about sneaking some food away from the children. The lamb chops were perfectly grilled, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The rich, tender meat and juicy texture of the lamb burst in your mouth with every bite.
Lin Xi carefully marinated the lamb, removing the mutton's strong smell without affecting its unique aroma. Lin Xi ate about three ounces of the two-pound lamb chop, and the rest went into Shen Sang Ning's stomach. In other words, she didn't feel full at all when she ate now. When she was alive, she wouldn't have been able to eat like this.
After eating and drinking, the two played games for a while, and then it was time to go out and pick up Lin Lin.
Thinking about it, it felt like she was going out at night for the first time. Although she had worked at night in the previous instance, she had always stayed in the funeral home and never left. Now she had to go out to pick up passengers, which made her a little nervous. At night, the community became even more terrifying. Perhaps because it was inhabited by ghosts, the lights were not on.
Lin Xi thought about it carefully. When he looked out from above, it was clearly brightly lit. It seemed that it was "home" again. To create a peaceful atmosphere, this scene was deliberately reflected on the glass.
In addition to the lack of street lights, there were no lights on in other people's homes. The corridor lights that occasionally suddenly lit up and then went out one by one not only failed to illuminate this black world, but instead added a sense of weirdness.
Fortunately, Shen Sangning was right beside Lin Xi, so she wasn't too frightened. Soon, the two of them arrived at the bus platform. Since they had made an appointment with the driver in advance, he quickly drove the bus to their destination. After boarding, Lin Xi noticed the bus was empty, so she simply sat next to the driver and started chatting with him.
"Is it so rare at night?"
The driver nodded, still spinning the bus turntable, and started on his way. Lin Xi had a subtle social anxiety, but once he got started, he started talking. Most importantly, Lin Xi felt that his social anxiety was directed at the living; the dead were not on his list of social anxieties.
"Don't you have any nightlife at night? Master, do you usually drive the bus at night?"
After listening to Lin Xi's question, the driver replied, "No, generally not. It's too dangerous at night. There are night routes, but they rarely run. There are usually not many passengers. I only go out when I have a bus. Otherwise, who would want to go out?"
Lin Xi sighed, "Oh!" It felt like the ghosts went to bed earlier than the people in Jiang Province. She'd often heard online that people in Jiang Province didn't have a nightlife and went to bed early, usually arriving home by 9:30 PM. She hadn't expected the ghosts to be even more exaggerated; it was only 8:00 PM, and no ghosts were out yet.
Lin Xi thought about it again and continued to ask: "Is it because the fog is thick at night and it's easy to get lost?"
◢
The driver's hands were steady on the steering wheel, and it was obvious that he was an experienced driver for many years. However, when he heard Lin Xi's words, he suddenly tightened his grip on the steering wheel, causing the bus to deviate slightly. He wanted to laugh it off, but he saw the looks of Lin Xi and Shen Sang Ning through the rearview mirror.
It's quite scary.
The driver swallowed his saliva. Compared with the ghost's secret, he felt that his life was more important.
"Haha, yeah."
Lin Xi was right, the fog would be thicker at night. Although the fog was thick and could not be dispelled when I took the bus during the day, I could at least see the white ghost moving through the fog. I could see the white ghost from a distance of one or two meters. But now at night, the fog was too thick to dissolve. Just now, a white ghost came up, its palm pressed against the car window glass, and its face was close to it, so Lin Xi could see that there was a white ghost.
It could also be because of the poor visibility at night. There were no street lights outside, so I could only see the lights in front of the bus shining on a small section of fog in the direction the bus was heading. But to be honest, this light was not enough. It could only illuminate a distance of about one or two meters, and there was thick fog ahead, which meant that even the lights of the bus could not break through.
The world of ghost stories is really scary.
Lin Xi silently complained in her heart. She knew from the last dungeon that fog was harmful to ghosts. As the fog intensified, ghosts naturally didn't want to go out. The families of those guests who were eaten by Chen Sang Ning at night would wait until the next morning to come because they were afraid of the thick fog at night.
I don’t know how the driver drove the car. In such heavy fog, he drove very steadily.
After two or three platforms, only two people got on at one stop. Lin Xi felt that they looked familiar and guessed that they were also going to pick up their children. They glanced at Lin Xi, initially serious and a little greedy, but when they saw Shen Sang Ning, who was staring at them eagerly, they simply said nothing and found a seat to sit down.
When they arrived at the Central Primary School platform, there were only eight people in the car, including Lin Xi and Shen Sang Ning.
Lin Xi arrived and got out of the car to see an even more horrifying scene. At the entrance of Binjiang City Central Primary School, a huge crowd of people was huddled together, all silent and speechless. There were no streetlights at the entrance, only the school buildings inside were brightly lit.
Lin Xi thought about it, then turned on his flashlight with a click.
