Entering the room, Lin Jiaxin leaned against the lower bunk, looking at Bread Girl and Mango Girl who seemed completely unaffected. His expression was slightly blank. Then, just as the train was about to depart, he suddenly stood up.

"What did you send..." Before she could finish speaking, Bread Girl and Mango Girl rolled their eyes and lost consciousness. They pulled out Bundle Cloth, wrapped the two of them up, and the "Lin Jiaxin" figure grinned, looking utterly incredulous:

"Damn it, it actually worked!"

Yes, this "Lin Jiaxin" was actually played by Feng Xue.

In reality, Feng Xue wasn't entirely confident of success; he was simply trying his luck by gathering all the identification methods currently available on the train.

The Great Yin Molting Technique alters one's appearance and changes one's physical appearance.

Passenger status was obtained from the ticket stub obtained by Lin Jiaxin herself.

The Student ID that Lin Jiaxin obtains after entering the School Hell serves as a form of identification at the Phantom Object level.

Then, he successfully replaced Lin Jiaxin, who was about to get on the bus.

The reason I'm so sure is because after he got into the car, he suddenly carried the same Tag that Lin Jiaxin had previously worn—

[Survivor].

However, this Tag is not the most important thing. What really surprised Feng Xue was that after he actually obtained the identity of Lin Jiaxin, he could vaguely feel a connection.

Even with the power of the Haotian Mirror and the computing power of the Heavenly Court and the Underworld, he could not confirm the connection any further. The only thing he could be sure of was that as long as he stayed on this train, the mysterious feeling would become stronger and stronger.

"As expected, Lin Jiaxin is special! No, it should be said that all the 'real people' on the bus are probably special."

Thinking back to her previous visits to the hard sleeper and Hard Seat carriages, where the number of "real people" was significantly different, Feng Xue realized she had probably found the key point.

"The density of people in the carriage I bought a ticket for was significantly higher than in other carriages, which is unlikely to be a coincidence."

Feng Xue secretly harbored some doubts, because he was not sure whether he should continue to "play" Lin Jiaxin.

This world is, after all, a test for the level master. Since it is a test, there should be something to be tested. However, the ability to replace someone is obviously not common to all supernatural Weird Tale. His current act of occupying an identity is likely to go against the content of the test.

"What are you thinking? It doesn't matter what the test is about, as long as I actually reach the final destination, isn't that enough?"

Feng Xue suddenly shook her head, shaking off these unnecessary doubts, and then began to think about what to do next.

Although Lin Jiaxin is special, judging from the situation where she was targeted after trying to disappear from the public eye, this specialness does not lie in any particular individual, but rather in her identity. In fact, it is precisely because of this identity that she is more vulnerable to attacks.

Although that's what Feng Xue thought, to her surprise, Bread Girl and Mango Girl didn't refresh the page immediately this time. Not only them, but the flight attendants also didn't come to the room. The room felt like it had been completely forgotten, and there was no interaction until 3 p. m.

"Lunch wasn't served either. Is it because the real 'passengers' in this room have disappeared? Just like when the train carriage went into a stalemate after I hid myself?"

Feng Xue thought for a moment, then pushed open the door and went out. Then she realized something was wrong.

Today, there were no smokers in the train compartments, no train attendants pushing carts around, and even the passengers mostly looked sickly, as if everyone in the carriage had contracted laziness.

"What's going on? Did my bug-exploiting plan succeed?" Feeling the coordinates of the Absolution Mark that he could still lock, he immediately realized that his childish, almost mischievous behavior had inadvertently touched the limits of this Weird Tale.

"No, we can't be sure yet. Maybe it's just because 'I' wasn't in the car, so the people inside simply stopped acting. Hmm, looks like we need to add more bugs!"

Feng Xue made up her mind and, using Lin Jiaxin's identity, moved back and forth in the carriage. Compared to previous trips, this one went much more smoothly, and most of the rules in the Riding Instructions seemed to have stopped working at this moment.

Only a few characters, similar to Lin Jiaxin, with a specific "identity," occasionally exhibit emotions such as fear, doubt, and unease, but that's about it.

"The flight attendants' rest area is empty, the toilets are empty, and although there are still a few glamorous women on the Train Police's side, they are nothing like their previous energetic selves."

After touring the entire train, Feng Xue frowned. On the fourth day of his journey, he had only missed visiting the locomotive.

"Should we go see the train conductor?"

Feng Xue's index finger twitched slightly, as if suppressing a suicidal impulse, which was actually quite close, because besides the idea of going to check out the train engine, he had another way of breaking the deadlock in mind—

Ghost hands.

That ghost hand, capable of anything to kill the streamer.

Feng Xue was now wondering if she could use this thing to seize that faint connection and flip the table over.

But thinking about it carefully, this test is about reaching the final destination. If we really overturn the table, wouldn't the test be impossible to complete?

Rather than exploring the truth behind this world's Supernatural Tale System, Feng Xue preferred to first obtain the Layer Master Qualification. With this in mind, he suppressed the idea of taking out the ghost hand and took out the Omni-Press Drive.

"Crushed~ Flowing~ Overflowing~"

A sound effect brimming with chuunibyou (adolescent delusions of grandeur) energy rang out, and Feng Xue, dressed in the Kamen Rider Orca armor, jumped out of the window and rushed towards the front of the train against the cold wind. Although there were theoretically Train Police and train attendants present, his actions did not attract any attention.

The ten carriages arrived in an instant. Looking at the diesel locomotive beneath her, Feng Xue immediately began her Ghostly Evasion.

"So this is how a locomotive works? It's quite different from the old-fashioned trains in Western movies."

Looking at the driver's seat filled with various joysticks, buttons, and dashboards, Feng Xue's attention quickly shifted, because there was no "person" in the driver's seat.

"Did it disappear temporarily like the other crew members? Or was it never there in the first place?" Feng Xue pondered for a moment, then instead of immediately deactivating the Omni-Press Drive, she plopped down in the driver's seat.

With his [Ace Pilot] powers activated, he immediately understood how to drive the train, but just as he placed his hand on the Joystick, a Tag suddenly formed on his body.

That wasn't the [train conductor] or [driver] he had imagined, but rather a slightly inappropriate Tag—

[Helmsman].
