Chapter 574: Chapter 574: Can This Kaidan Fix Bugs?

The two roommates walked out of the carriage one after the other, apparently planning to buy something, while Feng Xue continued to lean against the window with a demeanor of living without food or drink, quietly observing the grassland now covered in heavy snow.

On the tracks parallel to theirs, figures dressed in thick leather robes appeared, most of them carrying baskets, and occasionally, one could see goods boxes similar to the cigarette clamps worn by street vendors in Republican-era movies.

Their ages varied; the youngest seemed to be only about eleven or twelve based on their appearance, but considering how Caucasians tend to look older, this child might actually be younger.

"Sir, would you like some cigarettes?" A young girl of indeterminate gender with a cigarette clamp approached, and Feng Xue felt that same sense of alarm that he had experienced at a previous station. His eyes scanned the cigarette clamp only to find that the slots, which should have contained cigarettes, were indeed filled with small girls no bigger than a palm, dressed in brightly colored cigarette box-themed clothing.

"Hiss..."

Feng Xue maintained his composure and shook his head at the girl:

"Sorry, I don’t smoke."

Disappointed by his response, the girl showed a slightly saddened face before politely saying:

"Sorry to disturb you, sir."

After speaking, the young girl, with her cigarette clamp, walked towards the next window through the blizzard and cold wind.

Her desolate, lonely figure was enough to stir pity in anyone with a conscience, but having realized that the whole box of cigarettes was "alive," Feng Xue had already identified the cigarette vendor’s identity. He forcibly suppressed the unnatural stirrings of sympathy in his heart and watched indifferently as the blizzard intensified.

"Sir, would you like a newspaper?"

"Sir, would you like some snacks?"

"Sir, would you like some bullets?"

Various saleswomen walked past the window, not all of their goods transformed by the feminization filter into living beings, but Feng Xue had no intention of gambling on whether those things like bullets or USB drives contained other tricks. Selling USB drives full of pirated movies at a snowy train station was certainly a unique talent.

As for the bullets...

Perhaps it could only be explained by "This is abroad."

After all, it is abroad.

Feng Xue silently criticized the complex nature of this train when the room door suddenly opened and the roommates walked back in, followed by the ghostly foreign girl who had not returned earlier.

While walking, they heard the Bread Girl complain:

"The snow is falling too heavily; my shoes are soaked."

"You should wear long boots for this season if you’re taking this train. If not, at least bring rain boots. Didn’t you check the information online before traveling?" Mango Girl rolled her eyes and plopped down on the lower bunk of the ghost girl.

Bread Girl walked over to Feng Xue, reached up to get her suitcase from the upper bunk, and pulled out a pair of knee-high boots. She seemed not to notice Feng Xue at all, sat on the edge of his bed, and while removing her waterlogged shoes, she said:

"I did bring them, but it’s troublesome to climb in and out of bed with boots on; I didn’t expect the snow to pile up so quickly."

The last to enter, the ghost girl, chuckled hee-hee at her words and lifted her feet wrapped in plastic bags:

"I was clever," she said as she walked to the station entrance and saw the heavy snow outside, immediately asking the conductor for two large plastic bags, "though they do look a bit ugly in photos."

"You’re really sly!"

Mango Girl, hearing this, threw herself at Ghost Girl, starting a play fight, creating a harmonious dormitory sisterhood atmosphere. However, Feng Xue felt something off about it no matter how she looked.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the train will be departing again shortly. Passengers who have not boarded, please return to your seats promptly and refrain from moving until the train is stable. If you have any special needs, please ask the conductor for assistance..."

The usual announcement rang out, and the vendors walking back and forth outside the windows started to disperse, but Feng Xue frowned slightly. There was something oddly discordant about Ghost Girl, who was playing with Mango Girl.

It was as if something was not right.

"Calm down, let’s think this through..."

Feng Xue scanned the other two but noticed nothing unusual about them. Then, she realized the problem—

Ghost Girl was missing something!

It wasn’t her own item, but the admission notice Feng Xue had issued earlier. Because it had her own name on it, the three roommates hadn’t just casually discarded the three business cards. At this moment, both Bread Girl and Mango Girl still seemed to have their admission notices, but Ghost Girl’s was gone.

It would be fine if it was just lost, but the issue was that even if it had been eaten by a trash can, dragged out by birds, or turned into snacks by the conductor, every time she returned, that card would still be with her!

"Mr. Feng, is there something wrong with me?" Suddenly, Ghost Girl’s gaze met Feng Xue’s eyes, and she naturally asked.

Feng Xue’s hairs stood on end as she saw two teammates suddenly noticing her. Suppressing her confusion about her "Little Beir" no longer working, she pulled out a business card from her pocket:

"Lin Jiaxin, isn’t it? You dropped a business card when you stepped out earlier; it has your name on it. Is this yours?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Jiaxin immediately shook her head without looking, "No! I’m already in my third year; this isn’t mine!"

"Ah, isn’t this what we picked up when we boarded the train earlier? I have one too!" Mango Girl pulled out her own admission notice, frowning and saying:

"I’ve been working for two years now; this must be someone’s prank, right?"

Feng Xue found it strange and sensed the underlying hell of education again, confirming that Lin Jiaxin should still be in her freshman year of high school, quite unexpectedly.

Previously, none of the three had been affected by the admission notice, but this time, why did Ghost Girl refrain from taking the card? Moreover, she was the first to break through the ’ignore aura’ of Little Beir. No, perhaps it wasn’t a breakthrough, but this Ghost Girl, fundamentally, was no longer the same Ghost Girl who had died a dozen times before.

And the reason she dared not take the card might be that the card would have an effect on her, implying...

The current Ghost Girl’s real name could be identified as Lin Jiaxin.

"Interesting..." Feng Xue pondered the differences between these scenarios. Although it was a slight change, in a world where the setting takes precedence, like Kaidan, it was not a problem that could be ignored.

From the perspective of the setting, the previous endlessly dying Ghost Girl was "disguised as Lin Jiaxin," but this Ghost Girl was "Lin Jiaxin," which, on the contrary, added a vulnerability to "specific attacks against Lin Jiaxin."

What did this mean?

Feng Xue mused, carelessly placing the business card on the table without any intention of discarding it, and then pulled a guitar case out from under the bed, taking out a set of mahjong tiles:

"Since we’re free anyway, why don’t we all play cards?"
