Chapter 37 Lamb
"privilege?"

“Yes.” Wei Ling lowered her voice: “It’s a privilege that passengers dream of, and even ordinary people who aren’t passengers probably want to have it.”

"Resurrection from the dead!"

A comeback from the dead?!

Surprise flashed in Lu Jinzhao's eyes. She hadn't expected it to be this kind of "privilege".
"Having a premium ticket is like having a second life."

Lu Jinzhao asked curiously, "Is it only train tickets that have this ability, and other supernatural items can't do it?"

Wei Ling shook her head: "I can't do it."

"Other supernatural items, no matter how powerful, can only reduce your chances of dying. Apart from a train ticket, no supernatural item has ever been able to revive a person after they have died."

"Even if some supernatural objects claim to be able to resurrect, once resurrected, they can no longer be considered human!"

"With just a train ticket, it is possible to bring a person back to life completely."

"Furthermore, it doesn't require you to actively operate it. Of course, this privilege isn't limited to resurrection, or rather, resurrection is what passengers value most."

"You can also tear up your ticket in a life-or-death situation to get a chance to gamble everything."

"In short, having a premium ticket means having a great deal of leeway and more possibilities."

Wei Ling said slowly, "Moreover, it's rumored that the 'Special Grade' is the highest level of ticket. Beyond that, perhaps, one would no longer be considered a passenger!"

"No longer a passenger? What does that mean?"

"I don't know. I've only heard of that before, but I imagine it must be something very important. However, that's too far off for me. My current goal is to acquire a suitable ability first."

Wei Ling then proposed a new term.

Lu Jinzhao noticed that she had said that Special Grade possessed the ability to fight against demons, which must be related to this ability.

After Wei Ling finished speaking, she realized that Lu Jinzhao probably didn't know these things, so she explained simply:

"You should already know very well that ordinary people are completely unable to fight against ghosts. Let alone fight them, it's difficult for them to even survive."

"We can only survive the ghost attacks by relying on supernatural items."

Even so, it was only a matter of barely surviving.

Indeed, Lu Jinzhao's understanding of this point is profound enough.

"But, if you have some special abilities, then it's a completely different story."

"Hmm, you must have read the novel and watched the movie, right?" Wei Ling pondered for a moment how to explain, and Lu Jinzhao nodded upon hearing this.

"Won't there be some kind of medium, exorcist, witch, person with the ability to see ghosts, or other strange and unusual things inside?"

"Anyway, it's similar. It appears more often in higher-level platforms, almost never in level D, and only occasionally in level C."

"In these special platforms, passengers are assigned different identities, and some identities come with these abilities. If you successfully survive in the platform using this identity and pay a fee to buy the fate of this identity, you can truly possess these abilities!"

"...Can it really be like this?"

"Yes! We have a Celestial Master at Yuncheng Station. Speaking of which, she obtained her Celestial Master destiny from a station platform in Hong Kong in the last century. Celestial Master, that's a very powerful destiny."

Wei Ling's tone was full of envy. "Can you only have one destiny? Or can you buy several?" Lu Jinzhao asked what she thought was the key question.

"There can only be one. After all, you've already bought your life. A person only has one life, so naturally there can only be one destiny."

"After buying a destiny certificate, you will no longer be assigned to a special profession, so some people are advocating that people without a destiny certificate should be cautious, but others say that having one is better than not having one."

"After all, who knows if I'll die at the next station?"

"I think those who encourage others to be cautious are afraid that all the good opportunities have already been taken. If they dare to hesitate on the platform, are they afraid that they will die too late?"

Wei Ling's tone clearly expressed his dissatisfaction with those who advocated caution.

Upon hearing this, what Lu Jinzhao cared about most was: "Is one's destiny limited?"

“I’m not too sure about that either.” Wei Ling shook his head: “Our Yuncheng station is too small, and there aren’t many people who have obtained the destiny. However, there is very little communication between city stations and other city stations. I don’t know why, but everyone’s information is very limited, and they are unwilling to communicate with each other much, so we actually know very little information.”

"Based on the sharing from our seniors on this forum, most of the known destinies are not unique, but there are also some extremely special destinies that have only appeared once. I think this might be similar to a gacha game?"

"Super rare cards only have one copy, while other cards will appear many times."

Wei Ling was only speculating; she couldn't say for sure whether it was actually true.

"I understand."

Would a sufficiently powerful destiny possess the ability to resist the sheep's skin?
Before the sheepskin devours her entire soul, she must try to buy another destiny.

After finishing his conversation with Wei Ling, Lu Jinzhao immediately headed to his hometown.

She hasn't been back since her parents passed away suddenly a few years ago.

Looking back now, my memories of that town have become very vague.

Lu Jinzhao is unsure whether this is due to the natural fading of memories over time, or the influence of the sheepskin.

When she returned to her hometown after changing several modes of transportation and saw the familiar streets, those vague memories seemed to slowly return.

The town where she used to live wasn't remote and had a decent population. Although it was called a town, it was essentially a suburban area. With the development over the years, it had all the necessary facilities and buildings, and several popular milk tea shops had opened up along the street.

However, this place is not considered prosperous, and even after more than 20 years, there has not been much change. Compared with other regions that were also poor in the past, this place has developed extremely slowly.

It is said that there are some objective factors that make it difficult to develop, but Lu Jinzhao has not found out what they are.

Her home is now a self-built house, but when she was very young, before she went to high school, her home was a bungalow made of mud and bricks. However, when the area was developed, the old house was demolished, and the land was used as compensation to build a self-built house.

The sheepskin came from a lamb that used to be kept behind the mud house.

In her memory, it was when she was about twelve years old that the lamb fell ill and died.

She loved that sheep when she was little, so she cried a lot.

Seeing this, her parents cut off a piece of sheepskin as a talisman, saying that as long as the sheepskin was still there, the lamb would always stay with her.

No matter how I think back, in my memory it was just an ordinary sheep, nothing special.
