"Young man, what's that you're holding in your hand?"
"It's just a toy gun... haha!"
Song Zhong was just about to laugh it off and let the matter drop when, unexpectedly, an old woman behind him snatched his pistol away!
In front of everyone, the old woman skillfully disengaged the safety and immediately pulled the trigger at Song Zhong!
"Looks like it really is a toy gun. Here you go, young man."
Song Zhong was nearly scared out of his wits before he hurriedly caught the pistol the old woman threw to him. He never expected that not having money to buy bullets would save his life!
"But this toy gun is actually quite realistic."
"Haha, after all, I spent a lot of money to have it custom-made..."
Song Zhong hurriedly fled from the shop entrance, not daring to linger. Everyone's eyes were fixed on his back, and at the same moment, they revealed a strange smile.
"Terrifying! Terrifying!"
Even after running all the way to the street, Song Zhong was still somewhat shaken. No! He needed bullets to protect himself if he wanted to survive here, otherwise he probably couldn't even beat an old lady!
In the world of ghost stories, there are no "people" at all; they are all in disguise as bizarre creatures! The old lady you think you are might suddenly pull out a three-headed, six-armed being, while you only have one head and two arms!
Like other ghost story tellers, Song Zhong arrived at the bus stop and boarded the bus.
"Stop! Stop! Stop!"
"Wha...what's wrong?" Song Zhong was stopped by the driver as soon as he got into the car, his heart pounding in his chest, afraid that the guy in front of him would notice something!
"Pay up! Two yuan to get on the bus."
"I...I have no money!"
"If you don't have money, why are you riding in that car? Get the hell out of here!"
Song Zhong was kicked off the bus by the driver and rolled around the intersection several times in a sorry state. He felt that everyone on the roadside was laughing at him, so he slunk away.
"Hahaha! Is this guy from Longguo here to be funny? Out of 30 people, he's the only one who dares to spend all the money right away. Is he planning to walk to work?"
"You can scold this kid, but don't drag our Dragon Kingdom into it. Don't forget that Brother Jiang is also in this world!"
"By the way, Brother Jiang! What's Brother Jiang up to right now?"
"He seems to be... asleep!"
In the live stream, Jiang Ran was leaning against the car window, and snoring could be heard from time to time.
"Wait a minute, if Brother Jiang really is going to deliver food, it seems he's already missed his stop!"
"No rush, no rush, there's another job handing out flyers ahead, that job isn't bad either!"
At first, the comments section was still fiercely debating what job Jiang Ran would choose, but they quickly shut up because Jiang Ran had already arrived at the final stop while fast asleep.
"Um, is Brother Jiang really asleep?"
Jiang Ran dared to sleep on the bus, which meant his destination was the final stop. But there was no work at the final stop, so why did he come here?
Netizens have analyzed the map screenshot so thoroughly that they still don't know what's different about this place, but there's no rule pointing to this location.
"Sir, we have arrived at the final stop. Please get off the bus."
"oh oh!"
Jiang Ran stretched again, put his hands in his pockets, and got off the bus.
The experts on the internet have started a new round of analysis.
"I think you've all been misled. The so-called job doesn't necessarily mean looking for the jobs marked on the back of that map. So far, this supernatural world has simulated a real small county town, so you can find a job anywhere!"
"You mean, Brother Jiang is planning to come to this terminal station to find a hidden job?"
"That's right! It must be so. If I, Wang Lao Gou, am wrong, I'll change my surname backwards!"
In the shadows, Number 54 continued to follow Jiang Ran. He just couldn't understand why this human had run so far. This was nothing like what he had learned in his textbooks!
"This human has traveled so far, he must be up to something big. I need to keep a close eye on it!"
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Jiang Ran arrived at a roadside barbecue stall and ordered a skewer of grilled sausage.
"Here we go! Brother Jiang is going to start trying to get information out of the barbecue stall owner!"
"As expected of Brother Jiang, the next step is to find out if there are any hidden good jobs around here and make a quick buck. This way of thinking is miles ahead of other ghost story writers!"
"Thanks."
Jiang Ran finished the grilled sausage in a few bites, and then... boarded the bus back home.
Netizen: ? ? ?
Lin Changqing: ? ? ?
Number 54: ? ? ?
You fucking traveled all this way just to eat a grilled sausage?!
Jiang Ran was already on the bus home. He took the same route he came by and was going back by the same route, showing that he was consistent in finishing what he started.
Jiang Ran's baffling actions left spies from other countries completely bewildered.
"So, what's that guy doing taking the bus all the way there? Is there some new lead?"
"He...ate a grilled sausage."
"What kind of spy are you! Be careful you get your pay docked when you get back! Get to the point, the point! He couldn't possibly be taking this train just to go get some sausages, could he!"
"But he really only ate one grilled sausage!"
They could point out any other suspicious points, but the problem was that Jiang Ran went straight to the barbecue stall after getting out of the car, without even saying much to the owner. He finished his sausage and left without any hesitation!
"Look! It seems like Brother Jiang didn't sleep this time!"
"Come on, if he could really fall asleep anytime, anywhere, wouldn't he be the Sleeping Emperor!"
Jiang leaned back in his chair, slowly flipping through the list of tasks in his mind.
[The mission "Grilled Sausage a Few Kilometers Away" has been completed. Reward: 1400 Nightless Coins]
Taking two buses back and forth costs a total of four yuan, and eating a grilled sausage costs one yuan. In exchange for 1400 yuan, Jiang Ran can only say that it's a huge profit!
Although this task is a bit of a serious one, the reward is really generous. He even went to deliver takeout and drove until his car was totaled, and he probably couldn't earn 1400 a day!
"Let me see if there are any other tasks I can do..."
"Brother Jiang got off the bus! Brother Jiang got off the bus!"
The viewers in the live stream perked up again. Jiang Ran hadn't gotten off at this stop when he came before, but he suddenly got off on his return trip. He must have discovered something!
Observers from other countries switched their screens to the Dragon Kingdom's live stream, and one of them even accidentally switched to Song Zhong's live stream, which made him feel very unlucky.
Once Jiang Ran discovers a clue, as long as the clue is important enough, they will immediately notify their own ghost story teller!
Come on! Show us your purpose! What's the point of running all this way?
Jiang Ran got off the bus and stood by the bus stop sign. A few minutes later, the next bus roared in, and he boarded it.
I got back on the bus...
"Have the ghost story tellers in your Dragon Kingdom become this abstract now?"
