The afterlife blew up Gensokyo

One moment he was a kind and benevolent Buddha reborn, the next he's a street ruffian, even tearing off his robe and angrily trying to rush out and confront people... It's extremely cringe-worthy.

"Can't you care even a little bit about your image?"

With a hint of disgust, Shi Bai took a slight step back and frowned.

"Wu Xiu, I came back to see you out of kindness, and the first thing you do is curse me? You've cultivated Buddhism for so many years, and it's all gone to waste?"

"Pah!! If I weren't trapped in here and couldn't get out, I would have already...!"

— His response was a long string of censored words.

"Fighting and swearing are not allowed on the train. Even if you do swear, the train will automatically mute and block the noise."

Shrugging, Shi Bai turned to Yakumo Yukari and explained.

"The guy in here is named Wuxiu. He used to be a womanizing playboy, and extremely petty. I had a small grudge against him, and I've held a grudge ever since. I thought that after so many years of self-cultivation here, things would get better, but he's still the same. He really is ***."

"Damn it!! If it weren't for you, would I have been stuck here for so many years?! Do you know how I've lived all these years?!"

With his entire face pressed against the glass cover, one of the "ticket sellers" had a look of gritted teeth on his face.

"What does this have to do with me? It's just your own greed."

He took a few more steps back, and Shi Bai's expression became even more disgusted.

"And can you change your appearance? Do you know how disgusting you look right now? Your whole aged face pressed against the glass reminds me of ※※※※※※."

"........."

Staring fiercely at someone outside the glass window, Wu Xiu had no choice but to calm down, as he was completely helpless against the other party.

After glancing at Yakumo Yukari following behind Shi Bai, he transformed instantly from a kind-faced old monk into a dashing young man in white robes, holding a paper fan.

"I swear, once I find a way out, no matter what it takes or how long it takes, I will absolutely kill you!!"

"There are plenty of people who want to kill me, you can go and wait in line."

Rolling his eyes, Shi Bai reached out and tapped on the glass.

"Give me two tickets, this time I still want the front seats."

"Hmph, it seems you haven't given up on finding Carriage Zero. I'd be happy for you to come in and keep me company."

With a cold laugh, Wu Xiu rummaged through the drawer for a moment, then threw two new train tickets directly at the glass in front of him. Upon contact with the glass, the tickets automatically merged and appeared outside the glass.

"The only available ticket is for carriage number 1972."

Why is it so far back?

Shi Bai caught the train ticket flying towards him with two fingers, looking slightly surprised.

"Not to mention the first ten, have all the tickets for the first hundred carriages been sold out?"

"Times have changed. Do you think it's still the same era as before? Your information is outdated, you old fool."

With his palms clasped together in front of his chest, Wu Xiu leaned back on the bench, a cold smile on his face.

"Now the price of train tickets has dropped by a full quarter compared to before, so nobody cares if they have extra tickets."

"Hmm... I've also bought tickets for the eighth carriage. This time I'll buy four tickets for the eighth carriage."

After thinking for a moment, Shi Bai stuffed the two train tickets he had taken earlier into the box.

In the rules of [Oddities - Crossover Train], each carriage can purchase one main ticket and X secondary tickets, but the price of each ticket is the same. The main ticket has the ability to summon the [Crossover Train] to board the corresponding carriage, while the secondary tickets only allow boarding of the carriage. Once the main ticket has been used, the secondary tickets will be invalid regardless of whether they have been used or not.

"Hmph, you've always been a loner, when did you get other people around you?"

Although he really wanted to throw the ticket in his hand at the other person's face, he had no choice but to comply due to the inherent rules of the [Strange Item].

After throwing the four tickets away, he spoke in a muffled voice.

"You're a returning customer, so I shouldn't need to repeat the rules. However, since there are new customers, I'll reluctantly repeat them again. The ticket price will be automatically deducted from your account. If you don't have enough money, you will randomly and temporarily lose some of your belongings as collateral until you have enough money to redeem them. Do you understand?"

"Is it permissible to owe money? That rule is quite lenient..."

Yukari Yakumo nodded thoughtfully.

"Relaxed? There was this unfortunate guy who used his head as collateral. Can you imagine what it felt like to have his head forced to stay here while his body was kicked out?"

Shi Bai glanced at the ignorant and fearless Yakumo Yukari behind him and curled his lip.

"Leave behind...your head?"

Yukari Yakumo was stunned.

"Yes, so that guy with world-destroying power died such a pathetic death. In the [Interdimensional Train], all power and violence are forbidden. Can an ordinary person live without a head?"

After giving a casual reply, Shi Bai looked at Wu Xiu in front of him.

"I need some intelligence now. Do you know which worlds are about to be destroyed? I can pay for it."

"I'm trapped here and can't get out, what would I need money for?"

Perhaps having come to terms with it, Wu Xiu, slumped in his chair like a salted fish, replied lazily.

"That's right, I do have the most complete information on all the heavens and myriad realms, but why should I tell you? Besides, what do you need such low-level, third-rate information for?"

"...I have some good stuff here."

After a brief moment of hesitation, Shi Bai quietly stepped forward, deliberately lowering his voice.

"This is a curated selection, featuring non-human, mutant, and more... whatever your preference, it's sure to satisfy all your needs and offer a variety of unique content. What do you think?"

"...Do you remember the last time?"

As if recalling some unbearable past events, Wu Xiu's eyes faintly turned bloodshot.

"You said the same thing last time, and then the resources you gave me were a whole set of CCTV news broadcasts downloaded from who-knows-where!"

"Cough cough cough..."

"The last time you gave me nothing but pornographic films!!"

"Uh……"

"The discs from the time before last contained only Ultraman Tiga, along with the complete set of Big Ear Tutu and Teletubbies!!!"

"........."

"Now I have seen through the illusions of the world, and all worldly desires are vain. Do you think you can disturb my mind?"

Wu Xiu had a cold smile on his face.

“This time is different from the last time; I’m very sincere.”

Coughing a few times to carefully block Yakumo Yukari's view, Shi Bai took out a stack of CDs from his storage ring.

"Where to Go? Three Weak Women Trapped by 105 Fierce Men!!", "Shocking! A Woman in White Plays with Five Men's Lives!!", "Regretful! Daughter-in-Law Commits Suicide, Father-in-Law Sheds Tears!!", "That Night of Madness, I Stole My Sister's Beloved!!", "Shameless! Seven Bare-Chested Boys Do Such a Thing to a Beautiful Woman!!"... In an instant, a barrage of sensational headlines appeared before Wu Xiu's eyes.

Looking at the DVDs in front of him, each with an increasingly sensational title, Wu Xiu, who had been locked up here for who knows how many years, couldn't help but swallow hard.

"How about it? This time I can support inspection first. The contents and title are absolutely consistent. You can check this aspect first if you don't believe me."

Shi Bai's face was completely upright and honest.

"You should be able to handle this level of inspection, right?"

"Ahem... Let me check the goods first."

Wu Xiu coughed a few times, making a fist and placing it near his mouth. He then put the paper fan on the glass. A few seconds later, when he took the fan back, a clear look of satisfaction and eagerness appeared in his eyes.

"...Not bad, the content matches the title. This time you didn't trick me."

"In business, honesty is the foundation. Since I want to obtain information from you, I naturally have to be honest and fair."

Someone had a compassionate look on their face.

"So, has the deal been reached?"

“No problem, I’m already the biggest intelligence dealer here.”

With a snap, the paper fan in his hand opened, and for the first time, a gentle smile appeared on Wu Xiu's face.

"With your strength, you naturally wouldn't look down on things that I wouldn't even bother with. So you came out this time specifically to train newcomers and cultivate the younger generation, right? I wonder what level her strength has reached? I need to use that to select the most suitable world."

"Hmm... I'd say I'm barely at the [Transcendent Level]!"

After thinking for a moment, Shi Bai nodded.

"Also, we're going to save the world this time, so the world's arrangements might be... What kind of look is that?"

"Brother Shi, I just suddenly remembered something happy."

While casually waving the fan in his hand, Wu Xiu, lying on the recliner, slowly opened his mouth.

"I used to have a dog, and it really liked..."

"If you keep arguing, the transaction will be cancelled."

"...Ahem, based on the current coordinates of the train, these are the locations of several suitable worlds closest to here."

After rummaging through the drawer for a while, Wu Xiu took out a few sheets of white paper.

"But as you know, whenever a world encounters something like this, it always attracts a lot of opportunists. You know better than me how to deal with this, so I won't go into details."

"Very good, transaction completed."

After his gaze lingered on the sheets of white paper for a few seconds, Shi Bai nodded and then simply tossed the discs in.

"If your information is accurate, I might consider bringing you a few hundred single-player games next time. What kind would you like to play?"

"There are a lot of people!!"

Wu Xiu answered without hesitation.

Shi Bai: "..."

..................................................................

"Shouldn't he hate you? Why would he be willing to make a deal with you?"

After returning to the eighth carriage, Yukari Yakumo could no longer contain her curiosity and asked Shibai, who was holding a few sheets of white paper, about them.

She witnessed the whole thing from the sidelines. Although she didn't see the contents of the discs that someone deliberately covered up or hear the conversation between the two, the change in attitude before and after the unedited version was very obvious.

In front of outsiders, she was able to remember Shi Bai's previous instructions and suppress her curiosity well, but when no one was around, that curiosity naturally could not be suppressed.

"It's simple, because he can only make a deal with me."

While flipping through the contents recorded on the white paper, Shi Bai answered casually.

“Only I have the qualifications and authority to send things in there; no one else has that authority. Although others can still exchange information with him, do you think he would care more about information that is basically useless to him now, or about the things I can send in to amuse him?”

"Uh...I understand."

After pondering for a moment, Yukari Yakumo nodded knowingly, feeling a slight pang of sympathy for the other person for some reason.

"Oh? It seems you have a good comprehension ability."

Shi Bai walked back to the beach chair and sat down, waving his hand dismissively.

"However, you did a good job just now, you controlled your curiosity very well, please keep it up."

"Hmm... what was that you just put in?"

After thinking for a moment, Yukari Yakumo pressed for an answer.

"Two of the Four Great Classical Novels, plus some other educational films and TV series, can effectively cultivate his character."

Taking off his sunglasses, Shi Bai placed the blank sheets of paper he had finished reading on the table beside him.

"Take a look at what's written on these papers later. If nothing unexpected happens, these worlds will be our destination."

Are we trying to steal things from these worlds?

Yukari Yakumo reached out and picked up the white paper on the table.

"I think this... uh?"

“It’s not stealing, it’s taking. We’re respectable people.”

Shi Bai glanced at Yakumo Yukari, then lay down on the recliner.

"In addition, you must also successfully save these worlds and become their savior."

P.S.: Good morning (^_^)／
