Chapter 74 I Met an Acquaintance
Lin Xi was stunned the moment she saw the rules. To make sure everyone could see them, she even pulled her eyes back to face the letter. It was formal, signed with the inscription: "Binjiang City Center Primary School." But what completely stumped Lin Xi was: What was this? An elementary school acceptance letter? For herself?
No way, what is this? Do I have to play a minor? To play a child?
Moreover, this rule is difficult to understand. The most easily overlooked part is the top line, "Please enroll as soon as possible." There is no specific time limit, but it does place requirements on the anchor. The so-called "as soon as possible" probably means: the moment you see this letter, come to school immediately!
In addition, there are two completely opposite rules - 8 and 9. One says that there is no evening self-study in elementary school and students must leave on time. The other rule says that there will be evening self-study every Thursday and the school will end at 20:30. These are two completely opposite rules. As a student, you will be confused. Should you stay for evening self-study on Thursday night?
From Lin Xi's perspective, she preferred that there be no evening self-study. After all, this was elementary school, and what good school would have evening self-study starting in elementary school? Furthermore, this rule was in Article 9, so perhaps it was added later by a bad guy. From the first instance, Lin Xi knew that rules could be modified, obscured, and added to later, so it was possible that this rule was a fake rule added by a ghost.
There are also many requirements for passing the level, three in total. The last two reminded Lin Xi of the last amusement park dungeon, where the anchor was required to get five-star reviews. But the problem is, five-star reviews may be obtained as long as the service is in place, so how to get the recognition of ghosts? Getting the recognition of teachers... should be easy for Shen Sangning, after all, Shen Sangning is a university bully, a recommended candidate for a key university, and a strong contender for scholarships every year after entering university. There is no teacher who doesn't like this kind of student, right?
But this matter fell on Lin Xi, which was a bit difficult to handle. After all, Lin Xi was a poor student in college. She would fall asleep even when the staff explained the precautions of the dungeon, let alone a serious class. And she was still in elementary school.
Lin Xi never thought that one day he would be able to return to campus to experience going to school, even elementary school.
What concerned Lin Xi even more was... what was happening with the other streamers? Had they already made it to school? Or would they spawn directly inside? Lin Xi had also watched the screenshots of the "Survival is Work" dungeon, and they'd all spawned directly at the notice board looking for work. So, perhaps they were spawning right outside the school gates right now?
Lin Xi had to go to school first. Fortunately, Cai Hua later shared information with Lin Xi that there was a bus platform at the community entrance that went directly to the school. Without hesitation, Lin Xi took Shen Sang Ning by the hand and went straight out the door, heading towards the bus platform. She stood at the door and pressed the button. After they entered the elevator, Shen Sang Ning tilted her head and said, "Wife, can I eat?"
Lin Xi was stunned for a moment, and she subconsciously asked, "What to eat?"
"Eat it." Chen Sang Ning pointed at the elevator door. Lin Xi certainly didn't think that his wife was so hungry that she wanted to eat the elevator door. There was only one reason... This elevator, which seemed to be running smoothly, actually had a ghost living in it. However, it knew that it couldn't beat Chen Sang Ning and didn't even show its face. If it was the previous Chen Sang Ning, she would probably stand beside Lin Xi obediently. Only Lin Xi said
You will only eat if you can eat it.
But now Shen Sangning has a certain degree of subjective initiative, she will say "I want to eat" by herself.
Lin Xi also knew at this moment... It turned out that after the expensive elevator was eaten, new ghosts would move in. Facing Shen Sangning's body temperature, Lin Xi certainly wouldn't stop her. This was a small snack, there was no reason not to give it to Shen Sangning. So she nodded and let Shen Sangning do it.
By the time they exited the elevator, Shen Sangning was already clutching a small ball and devouring it. Everyone in the community was already quite familiar with Shen Sangning, so Lin Xi didn't let her return to her body. Instead, she swaggered with her to the bus platform. The community security booth was still empty; it wasn't clear if they lacked property management or simply couldn't find anyone.
She complained about the irresponsible community property management before she and Shen Sangning held hands and sat in the waiting area of the bus platform. Lin Xi waited for a long time but no bus arrived. However, she wasn't anxious at all. She knew that the buses in the world of Rule Weird Tales were very slow, and the drivers needed to rest after each trip, so waiting was normal.
As expected, Lin Xi glanced up at the watch she'd taken from the funeral home. Before leaving, she'd spotted it among the small ornaments in the entrance hallway. After asking Chen Sangning, she realized she'd brought it back. Lin Xi couldn't help but sigh, "As expected of my wife, she's truly capable." Chen Sangning pursed her lips and smiled, a hint of pride in her eyes.
I just looked at the watch for a while and the bus slowly drove over.
This bus happened to be bus No. 14, which Lin Xi was going to take. The bus was slowly approaching the station, and Lin Xi was waiting at the front of the bus platform. When the door opened after the bus arrived, Lin Xi was just about to say that he seemed to have met an acquaintance, but the bus door slammed shut with lightning speed, and the driver slammed the accelerator. Lin Xi could see the wheels rubbing against the ground, and smoke was about to come out.
Unfortunately, the bus didn't move away because Shen Sangning had grabbed the door and lifted it slightly. The driver pressed the accelerator for a long time, but the bus didn't move. He could only stare at Lin Xi outside the door in despair. Because the front of the bus was lifted, the door was tilted slightly. From the driver's perspective, the two women outside looked like ghosts demanding his life.
He swallowed and pressed the button. The bus door made a muffled sound and then opened. Chen Sangning got off the bus, and Lin Xi took Chen Sangning's hand and got on. There were a few other people on the bus, but the moment they saw Chen Sangning, they all shrank back, becoming like quails, afraid that Chen Sangning would discover them.
However, Lin Xi took a quick glance and had already seen through the group of people - no one could escape.
Lin Xi glanced at the bus driver, and sure enough, it was the driver of bus No. 4 from the previous copy.
"Aren't you driving bus No. 4? Why are you driving bus No. 14?"
He was too embarrassed to say that he had avoided bus 4 because he was afraid of running into Lin Xi, the plague god, because he had to pick her up on the way to and from work. Unexpectedly, he would also run into her on bus 14. He could only say guiltily, "It's just a job transfer."
Lin Xi murmured, "Oh!" and took no notice, finding a seat to sit down. What made the driver sweat profusely was that Lin Xi sat very close to him, in the seat behind him. The No. 14 bus had a standard seating arrangement: the first two rows, closest to the front door and the driver, had four seats facing each other, side by side.
Lin Xi sat next to the driver, with her back against the window and her hands on the railing. She could look down at him, which made him feel very uncomfortable. Especially since Lin Xi said quietly, "By the way, Master, you're in charge of this route now, right?"
“Yes, yes.”
The seemingly peaceful chat made the driver feel like his head was on the line, ready to be taken away by Lin Xi at any moment. Lin Xi continued, "That's great. I'm going to the Central Primary School now, and I'll probably be taking this bus every day. Could you please adjust the time? How long does it take to get from our community to the Central Primary School?"
"About twenty minutes..."
"Okay, then you go to the gate of our community at 7:30 every morning. If I'm not here yet, you wait for a while. Then go to the central primary school at 4:40 every afternoon and bring me back."
The driver glanced in the rearview mirror. He really wanted to refuse, but Lin Xi's smile was not a good sign, and the evil spirit next to her was also staring at the back of his head. In this situation, what could the driver say? He could only agree reluctantly: "Okay, just... I can adjust this shift."
"Thank you, Master. You'd better be on time, otherwise I might rush to the bus company."
The driver swallowed his saliva. He didn't think the woman behind him was joking.
He drove forward fearfully, and soon arrived at the next stop. The passengers standing outside the door hadn't realized anything was wrong. After getting on the bus and seeing Lin Xi, they only had eyes for this woman. Until Lin Xi said to Chen Sangning beside her, "Wife, there are snacks delivered to your door."
At this moment, the passenger probably wanted to say, "You're the one who's being a snack! Your whole family is a snack!" But in the end, he didn't say it, and it turned directly into a small black ball and was eaten by Shen Sangning.
After that, every passenger who boarded the bus was bound to be transformed into a small black ball. Even the few passengers who were originally on the bus became Shen Sangning's snacks.
The only one who escaped was the driver chosen by Lin Xi as the pick-up driver.
Arriving at the Central Primary School stop, Lin Xi let Shen Sang Ning return to her body and then exited the bus through the back door. Lin Xi actually wanted to go through the front door, as it was closer, but the bus rules were there. If she went through the front door, the driver and the bus might be forced to attack her. This was the driver she had handpicked, and he was half her friend. How could she let him die there?
Before arriving at the station, Lin Xi noticed quite a crowd at the entrance to the Central Primary School. She glanced at the time: 7:15. She had entered the dungeon at 6:00, so over an hour had passed, but it wasn't even 8:00 yet. Even at this hour, the school entrance was packed with people, well over 100.
In other words, there are not only hosts in this, but also ghosts.
After Lin Xi got off the car, she wandered among the crowd, looking for humans.
It's easy to distinguish between humans and ghosts. Those who appear calm and composed aren't necessarily ghosts, but those who appear panicked and fearful are most likely human. She identified several of them as human, and upon seeing Lin Xi's face, they too had expressions as if they had seen a savior. Lin Xi looked around, but didn't see He Sitong.
