Chapter 116 A Man of Principles
Lin Lin, who sat next to them across a small aisle, couldn't help but sneeze. She looked blankly at Lin Xi beside her. Ghosts can't catch colds. She was sneezing for no apparent reason. Lin Xi must be saying something bad about her in her mind again!
Lin Lin is very aware of this, and only Lin Xi would treat her like this.
But Lin Xi's words were still lingering in Lin Lin's mind. Lin Xi had been right. She'd provided her with food and drink every day, and even offered her the position of acting principal before leaving, allowing her to transform the school into her ideal and protect more "Zhu Zhus." Even for this favor, she couldn't think of Lin Xi this way.
“A-choo!”
Just as she thought of this, Lin Lin sneezed loudly again. Lin Xi next to her leaned towards Chen Sang Ning again, but turned her head to look at Lin Lin: "If you hit over there, what if you infect me later? I can't catch a cold! What if I catch a cold and infect Ning Ning!"
Lin Xi leaned towards Chen Sang Ning, and Chen Sang Ning naturally reached out and put her arm around Lin Xi's shoulders, pulling her into her arms. Hearing what Lin Xi said, she agreed wholeheartedly: "That's right, you can't sneeze at Lin Xi. What if she catches a cold?"
“…”
No, are these idiots brainless?! Ghosts don't catch colds! Lin Xi must be saying bad things about me in her heart!
I was just thinking about being grateful to Lin Xi. What a fool! Lin Lin was indignant in her heart. She snorted and turned her head away, no longer looking at Lin Xi and Shen Sang Ning.
The bus lurched along for a while, sending the seventeen student anchors home one by one. Once only Lin Xi, Chen Sangning, Lin Lin, and Aaron Jones were on board, the driver turned and asked, "Where are we going first?"
"Let's go back to the community first."
Lin Xi answered naturally. She knew that Alan Jones was going to cause trouble. Even if she wanted to send him back now, he would definitely not be happy. She might as well drive directly to her home. When they got there, they would get off the bus. If Alan Jones didn't want to cause trouble, he would follow the bus back to school. If he wanted to cause trouble, he would also attack in this section.
Of course, it's best not to cause trouble. But things often go against one's wishes. Lin Xi didn't actually want to be an enemy of Allen Jones, but in the silence, Shen Sangning suddenly stood up. She stepped on the railing in front of the seat and gave a slight push, floating in the car. Her hand stretched forward, fingers spread, as if she was holding something.
Lin Xi was a little confused, but knew it must have been Aaron Jones who did it. But before Lin Xi could figure out what was going on, Lin Lin also stood up from the seat next to her. She glanced at Lin Xi with a hint of disdain, but still stood firmly in front of Lin Xi.
She is such a good daughter to her mother.
It's a look of disdain, can you please not give it up?
Lin Xi observed carefully and found that there was something wrong with his big eyeball. It seemed that... it was turning its back carefully? $$
"???"
What do you want to do with your big eyes?
While Lin Xi was still confused, she saw Shen Sangning grab something and pull it down, then she made a ball-throwing gesture and threw the invisible transparent object in her hand towards Allen Jones. Allen Jones was very fast. He stood up from his seat and walked to the side.
Aaron Jones turned his head and looked at Lin Xi. At this moment, a voice rang out on the bus: "The vehicle is moving. Please find a seat and sit down. The vehicle is moving. Please find a seat and sit down..." This voice kept ringing, and the driver in front kept looking back. Lin Xi realized that the driver had fallen into a frenzy because the rules were triggered.
There were four people in the car, and only Lin Xi was still sitting.
The bus horn was useless, and the driver could only brake and stop. Ghosts are like this, once the rules are triggered, there is no other choice, even if you know you are not a match for Shen Sang Ning and Lin Lin, you have to attack them. Although Allen Jones is very strong, he should also be a match for the driver.
Why did he stand up on his own?
While Lin Xi was still thinking about this, Aaron Jones slowly spoke up: "It turns out that ghosts can see cameras. It seems that only we humans cannot see them."
It turned out that what Shen Sang Ning had just caught was the big eyeball of Aaron Jones that was flying towards him.
Lin Xi was still sitting in her seat, looking at Aaron Jones standing in the car in front of her. She couldn't help but ask, "Why did you let the big eyeball fly over here?"
Aaron Jones laughed and said, "Don't get me wrong. I just want it to go over to your camera and tell it to stop filming for a while. The live broadcast room outside should be completely dark and silent right now."
——How did you do it?
This question popped up in Lin Xi's mind, and Aaron Jones seemed to see through her thoughts. He didn't hide anything and explained directly: "Your country has an old saying, 'Money makes the world go round.' I tried using this method and found it really works. I had some salary for the past two weeks, and with the money I got from other sources, I finally got them to agree not to broadcast this segment. And I also got them to convince your cameras not to broadcast it at this time."
This wasn't surprising. Facts had proven that Big Eyeball wasn't devoid of emotion or thought. Instead, he was afraid and could be threatened by Shen Sangning. Conversely, it made sense that he was bribed by Allen Jones.
Lin Xi looked up at her big eyeballs. It just turned its back and didn't say anything. Maybe it had already received the money. Lin Xi was a little curious about this matter: "You seem to have used money to buy information before, but you probably don't have much money on you. You got the money from somewhere else... Where did you get it?"
Aaron Jones didn't really care about this trivial matter, and told Lin Xi directly: "I stole it. From your copy of the funeral home, I can see that the ghosts keep their money close to their bodies, so it is actually possible to steal it with some tricks."
Aaron Jones is really a genius.
Lin Xi once again doubted Allen Jones's profession. Whether he was a soldier or a security guard, would he need these skills? Lin Xi also asked Allen Jones, and Allen Jones shrugged: "I knew that exposing my information like this would definitely arouse your suspicion. As you guessed, I am not a security guard. That is just my identity on the surface. In fact, I am an agent."
——This identity is quite cool.
Aaron Jones
Lin Xi was straightforward and didn't hide anything. She said directly: "I received the SC. The person in charge in China told me that you received an order to kill me."
"Your country is truly full of talented people. I just changed the code, and you figured it out." Alan Jones smiled and said, "You're right. I did receive this order."
Lin Xi was even more confused: "Then why don't you do it?"
He chatted with her for a long time, giving her a lot of information, but he had no intention of taking action. Lin Xi knew that he probably wouldn't do it. Aaron Jones was no Riddler. He told Lin Xi directly, "The order from above is to find a way to kill you, but for my own reasons, I don't want to fight you to the death. Most importantly, I can't kill you."
Alan Jones looked at Shen Sang Ning floating in the carriage, and Lin Lin standing next to Lin Xi. He couldn't handle either of these two ghosts, let alone two.
At this time, the driver struggled for a long time, but still walked towards the back of the car. Lin Xi could see that he was unwilling, but he had to walk towards the back due to the rules.
Many tentacles extended from the floor of the train compartment, attacking Shen Sangning and Lin Lin. Facing the bus ghost, Lin Lin could only reveal her ghost form. The sound of dripping water could be heard, and drops of water quickly merged into a pool on the ground. In that pool of water, the tentacles could not extend at all.
And the tentacles that reached out to Shen Sang Ning were all chopped off.
What surprised Lin Xi was that he didn't reach out to Alan Jones. The reason why he didn't reach out to him was simple, because he was sitting in his seat obediently and didn't break the rules. But why didn't he go to Alan Jones?
Allen Jones saw Lin Xi's expression and understood her confusion, so he explained directly, "This has to do with my talent. In each dungeon, I can ignore a rule for 24 hours, and after 24 hours, that rule will become binding on me again. In the last dungeon, I had a sudden inspiration and used this ability on a clearance condition, ignoring the second one. I originally wanted to do the same this time and ignore the third one, but thanks to your contribution, I didn't have to use it."
"In the last instance, you should have met clearance requirement 2."
Aaron Jones shook his head. "Ghosts are very bad. In fact, I found out halfway through that their five-star reviews can be withdrawn, and they can even change them to negative reviews later on. If I had followed the progress of the last instance, I would probably only have 2 or 3 good reviews by the end, and I wouldn't have been able to pass it at all."
The driver, who had come towards Shen Sangning, was pinned to the ground. Lin Xi called out to Shen Sangning, "Ningning, come here." Shen Sangning came over to Lin Xi and sat down. Lin Lin also took Lin Xi's hint and sat down. At this moment, the bus horn stopped blaring. The driver wiped the sweat from his forehead and stood up.
He looked at Aaron Jones with some irritation: He wasn't targeting that Lin Xi! He was targeting him! In the end, he would be the unlucky one! He would be eaten by that big ghost!
Aaron Jones didn't care about the driver's look at all. He just looked at Lin Xi: "Well, am I right?"
He didn't hide anything from her, which made Lin Xi even more suspicious: "I believe you must have a thousand strange ways to kill me, why didn't you do it?"
Aaron Jones sank down on his chair, holding out his hand helplessly. "Honestly, I envy your country. As you know, we have so many political parties and even more people in power. I have no idea who issued this order. They all have their own opinions on the strange rules, but I still don't agree with the idea of killing someone with experience in clearing customs in the cradle simply because they're not from your country."
"I've killed a lot of people, but I'm a principled man."
"I don't want to prey on innocent people."
