My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 358 Arrival
"Do you want to stop this hearse?"

"If you miss this opportunity, it may not be so easy to find this hearse in the future."

Jiang Xinghuo quickly weighed the pros and cons and finally made up his mind to intercept the hearse.

The current situation has reached a stalemate. If we want to continue to complete this task, we must find the ancient house where the little old man lives.

This hearse may be the last hope.

And according to the description in the game text, as long as you successfully get on this hearse, you can unlock some hidden maps, so you won't lose out no matter how you plan.

At worst, you can just abandon the mission of leaving the letter home and unlock a new mission through the hearse.

"You chose to intercept the hearse."

"You stopped the hearse on the side of the road, and you were surprised to find that the style of this hearse was very similar to the vehicles in the Exile Land, at least from the appearance."

"The hearse stopped in front of you, and the door slowly opened with a sour sound. Do you want to ride in this hearse?"

"If you regret it now, it's not too late. Once you step into this hearse, there will be no turning back."

"Although you are cursed with exile from the secular world, before you get off the car, even if you are resurrected, you can only be resurrected on the hearse."

Seeing the hint given in the game text, Jiang Xinghuo hesitated for a moment. If it was really as the text said, wouldn't it be equivalent to being imprisoned in a hearse?
Jiang Xinghuo was thinking about whether to go up or not, when he saw new game text pop up on the screen, which immediately dispelled his concerns.

"However, you have a fragment of the Golden Law in your body. It is the supreme power in the secular world. No rules can affect the Golden Law."

"So, after you die, you can choose where you want to be resurrected. You can choose to be resurrected on a hearse, or you can choose to be resurrected next to the shrine you have lit."

Seeing this, Jiang Xinghuo's worries were completely dispelled, and he chose to get in the car without hesitation.

"You walked onto this rusty hearse and found that there were still a few empty seats. You found a seat with no one next to you and sat down. The hearse started to move slowly again."

"Please select where you would like to be dropped off."

Jiang Xinghuo controlled the character in the game to get in the car and sit down, and then a text input box appeared on the game interface.

Jiang Xinghuo frowned slightly, not knowing what to write. He couldn't just write the two words "ancient house", right?
Just when Jiang Xinghuo didn't know what to do, a few words suddenly appeared automatically in the text input box.

"The ancient house where the little old man lives."

"You have chosen the place to get off. Please prepare your ticket, otherwise you will not be able to get off this hearse."

ticket?

Do I need a ticket to get off the bus?

Jiang Xinghuo thought that this task was quite complicated, with one thing leading to another, and there was no hint at all beforehand, and the information was only suddenly given when the time came.

"ticket……"

Jiang Xinghuo muttered a few words to himself, then flipped through the text records and noticed the game text when he just got in the car.

Although he didn't know how many people were in the hearse, he was definitely not the only one.

Jiang Xinghuo had an idea in his mind. Just because he didn't have a ticket didn't mean other people didn't have one either. He could only offer his services to others out of generosity.

Jiang Xinghuo opened the game's skill panel and found the options of "Five Ghosts Calling at the Door" and "Five Ghosts Carrying Things".

"You used the Five Ghosts Technique on the other monsters in the hearse."

"First, use the Five Ghosts' Door-Knocking Technique to open the storage items of those people, and then use the Five Ghosts' Moving Technique to move the things in their magic bags to your own hands."

"But in order not to attract their attention, you didn't take everything. You just slipped those crumpled bills into your hands without anyone noticing."

"You have obtained 5 hearse tickets." "Hearse ticket (special item). This hearse is a product that transcends most worldly rules, so most of the rules inside the hearse are also set by the hearse."

"The ticket in your hand is the product of the hearse's rules. If you want to leave this hearse, you must stick the ticket on the door. Otherwise, the people in the car will never be able to leave here."

"Similarly, if you burn this ticket outside, it can also attract the hearse."

Light the ticket to attract the hearse?

Jiang Xinghuo's heart moved.

This hearse just appeared suddenly. Could it be that someone set the car on fire and I was just hitchhiking?

The more Jiang Xinghuo thought about it, the more he felt that this was possible. However, due to the perspective of the word game, he could only peek into that world through a small hole, which was very limited.

Maybe there was someone who had just walked into this hearse with me.

Moreover, the description of the hearse was vague. Jiang Xinghuo opened his magic bag and found the colorful box of the secret-keeping immortal.

I don’t know if this colorful box can reveal the secret of this hearse.

Jiang Xinghuo looked at the colorful secret box in his hand, hesitating whether to open it.

"What the hell, why are you so worried about gains and losses today..."

Jiang Xinghuo patted his cheek and suddenly realized that there seemed to be something wrong with his mentality.

Jiang Xinghuo took a deep breath, and the sounds of dragon roars and elephant hisses rang in his ears. All his distracting thoughts were suppressed and crushed by the dragons and elephants.

My mentality also returned to its former peace.

Jiang Xinghuo put away the colorful box in his hand and no longer cared about the hearse. His primary goal now was to find the old house and then deliver the old man's letter there.

Wait until this mission is completed before considering the hearse. If you continue to hesitate, you will be the only one who suffers in the end.

About ten minutes passed.

A prompt message came from the game.

"You have arrived at your desired destination. Please take out your ticket and prepare to get off the bus."

"Ticket, -1."

"Number of tickets remaining: 4."

"You come to the place where you get off and put the ticket in your hand on the door. The rusty door slowly opens with a sour sound. Do you want to get off?"

Jiang Xinghuo chose yes without hesitation.

"You got off the hearse and walked forward along the path under your feet. You soon found an old house."

"You saw a heavy lock on the gate outside the old house. Obviously, you couldn't get in, so you went forward and knocked on the door. Fortunately, there was a voice behind the door responding."

"After you knocked on the door, a young voice came from the door, asking what you were doing here?"

"How are you going to answer it? Are you going to tell it directly why you are here? Or are you going to make up a lie to trick it into opening the door?"

Jiang Xinghuo thought for a while and chose the previous answer.

"You explained your purpose frankly and stuffed the old man's letter behind the door..."
