Bizarre Honkai, a Wife-Chasing Crematorium

The white-haired girl smiled lightly, "Selling cuteness is useless on me. You can only do it yourself..."

Before she could finish her sentence, as Rin was shaking her body, a photo in her pocket slipped out and fell to the ground. This scene was keenly caught by the white-haired girl.

The white-haired girl's smile disappeared in an instant. Her azure eyes stared straight at the blurry human figure in the photo.

She took the initiative to bend down and pick up the photo on the ground. After confirming the person in the photo, she turned her head to stare at Rin, then looked at the photo again, and showed an intriguing smile.

"The person in this photo, is he your boyfriend?"

The person in the photo was very young, wearing a school uniform. The school emblem only showed the style of Chiba Middle School.

His sleeves were wrapped around his waist, and his jacket was tied around his waist like a scarf. A faint smile played on his lips, and he looked very sunny.

Rin was stunned for a moment. Her peripheral vision caught the white-haired girl's fingers gripping the photo very tightly.

She knows brother?

No, she asked if I was brother's boyfriend... could it be...

Rin was suddenly very angry. Li Mo had clearly sworn that he would definitely not fall in love or get a girlfriend before finding her sister.

Although she didn't take it seriously, he should have at least told her. What was the point of being sneaky?

"No, he's my brother," Rin muttered resentfully. "Do you know my brother?"

The white-haired girl put away her original frivolous smile and closed her eyes, as if she were recalling some scenes in her memory.

"Naturally... I know him."

"Since we're all acquaintances, it's easy to talk. Sister, please help me. You don't want my brother to see his sister's corpse when he wakes up... no, he might not even find my corpse... don't worry, I won't cause any trouble for sister. Sister just needs to give me a few pointers."

Rin gently tugged at the white-haired girl, trying to move her.

Since the other party had taken the initiative to clarify their relationship, it meant that there was still room for communication.

The white-haired girl chuckled, stood up from her seat. A bus with its high beams on was slowly driving towards them. The dazzling white light shone on her body, but it looked extremely dim.

"The bus is coming soon. After you get on, forget most of your human habits. You are a smart person, you should know what to do."

Forget most of my human habits?

Does this mean I should forget my human identity? But why not forget it completely?

Rin was puzzled. It was possible that the other party didn't know much either, so she only knew that this was correct.

The correctness of the information was very important when dealing with ghosts. She probably didn't dare to rashly judge the authenticity of other rules.

But since she had said with such certainty to forget most of her human habits, then honestly following this rule should allow her to live for a long time, and even get off the bus alive.

Rin thought so in her heart.

"By the way, sister, I still don't know your name. My name is Rin, the Rin in Dingling," to show her sincerity, Rin took the initiative to tell her real name.

The white-haired girl meaningfully repeated Rin's name, then shook her head helplessly.

"My name is Kallen Kaslana."

The bus honked, as if to remind the "people" on the bus to get off, or to remind the "people" at the station to get on.

Soon, the bus stopped in front of the station, and at the same time opened the door for getting on and the door for getting off.

Strangely—the bus did not make the somewhat noisy machine roaring sound like the buses in human society. The ghost bus in front of her was very quiet. Rin could not even feel the heat from the bus body.

The air nearby had cooled down. Fortunately, Rin was wearing enough clothes.

"Not getting on..." Rin wanted to ask Kallen when to get on the bus, but when she saw Kallen place her index finger in the middle of her lips, she immediately understood the meaning.

Keep silent, don't speak.

Speaking was a major habit of humans, relying on the spread of sound to communicate.

But ghosts didn't need it. Under the rules, they could completely see each other's memories, and "extract" their own memories at any time.

They didn't need brains to store memories. The memories were in their rotten souls, they would not disappear, nor would they fade.

As long as they were willing, they could take out complete, fresh memories at any time.

Rin held her breath and concentrated on observing the situation on the bus.

There were a total of twenty-six seats, and only five were empty.

But three people had gotten off at this stop. After she and Kallen got on, there would be six empty seats on the bus.

Rin looked through the car window and saw how the people inside got off.

The two people in the third to last row and the one person in the last row got off in order.

The two people in the third to last row should know each other. The third person was a stranger, so during the process of getting off, only the first two people were constantly talking and communicating.

"Don't you feel better outside, but also colder? Has the weather turned cold recently?"

"Who cares. Let's go home first. It's freezing on the bus. The driver must have turned the air conditioner to the lowest setting. If it weren't for the quietness in the car, I would definitely have to argue with the driver."

The two of them got off the bus cursing. Nothing strange happened when they got off. Rin watched them walk further and further away like normal living people.

Nothing happened? But they were clearly talking like living people just now...

The driver didn't move, the ghost bus didn't move, and even the other passengers on the bus didn't move.

Then why did Kallen forbid her from speaking?

Rin was very puzzled, but out of trust for Li Mo, she chose to believe Kallen for the time being.

What's more, Kallen herself did not speak, so Rin remained as she was, without saying a word.

Soon, the third person got off the bus. He normally stretched out one foot to land and maintain balance. This was the behavior of a normal person getting off the bus.

Rin didn't pay much attention, but what happened next made Rin widen her eyes. The man's foot was only a tattered bone. The moment his foot touched the ground, his whole person began to shrink. Gradually, only a pool of blood and rotten flesh was left on the ground.

But he didn't speak? Then why did he become like this?

Wait a minute...

No...

A terrible thought appeared in Rin's mind. She quickly turned her head to look at the two people who had just left talking and laughing. There were shadows on the ground.

Unlike the third person, the shadows behind them... were four.

What was the situation with the two extra shadows?

The first two people had spoken when they got off the bus, and their identities as living people were known.

She could still see them well, probably because they had not spoken on the bus, and had not left the station after getting off, or could not leave.

The third person was taciturn, and probably had not spoken on the bus. Then why did this situation still happen when he got off?

Beep—

The ghost bus was about to start. The horn sounded in her ears.

Rin turned her head. Kallen had already gotten on the front entrance of the bus. Without any hesitation, Rin immediately followed.

Imitating all of Kallen's actions.

When getting on the bus, there were two levels of stairs. Rin carefully observed Kallen.

First she lifted her left foot, then her right foot. Only when both feet were on the same step would she repeat the same action to climb the last step.

I see...

Living people go up the stairs one step at a time, but that behavior would be recognized by the ghosts on the ghost bus, and thus they would be attacked when getting on.

To safely reach the destination, one could only disguise themselves as their kind.

After getting on the bus, Kallen walked straight to the second to last row, where there happened to be two seats left.

Rin took a deep breath and followed Kallen. When she passed by the driver's seat, she paid a little attention. The driver was wearing a mask and sunglasses, and his face could not be seen clearly.

It was very cold in the car, and most people were wrapped up tightly. At least... that was what she could see.

Rin sat next to Kallen, in the seat by the window in the second to last row. Kallen sat in the seat by the aisle.

The bus started. The city roads were not bumpy, and the bus was quite stable, without much fluctuation.

The windows had curtains. Rin was thinking about whether to open them.

Forget it. It's better to wait for the driver to call out when getting off. Opening the curtains might be recognized as a human.

But what did Kallen mean when she said that the second to last row could see the situation in the car clearly?

Rin observed the situation in the car. It was quiet. Everyone seemed to be in a daze, either with their heads lowered, or staring blankly out the window through the crack in the curtains.

There was an indescribable feeling...

It was best not to act rashly now, to avoid triggering the rules.

The ghost bus soon arrived at the next stop. One person got off, and another got on.

The tired expression on the other party's face clearly showed that he was a middle-aged office worker who had just finished working overtime and was preparing to go home.

"So tired. I work overtime every day and don't get paid for it. These bastards!" the man clenched his fist, the veins on his arm bulging. If it weren't for the consideration of compensation, he would probably have punched the window.

A very impulsive person, Rin judged.

"Why isn't the window open at night? Is the air conditioner set so low to deliberately make me catch a cold!"

The man shouted at the driver in front of him, turned around, and cursed as he opened the curtains, opened the window, and stuck his head out a little.

Life was already very tiring. He didn't care at all whether this was safe or not.

He believed that at night, compared to sticking his head slightly out of the bus window, the risk of dying from overwork and irregular work and rest leading to cancer was even greater.

He could see the end of his life at a glance, so he did things without any scruples and was full of hostility.

Although his words were excessive, the other party did not do anything to harm others.

Rin cast a worried gaze at Kallen. Kallen shook her head slightly, indicating that there was nothing she could do.

Alright, this situation was indeed not the time to remind people.

All they could do was to remain quiet.

"Huh?"

The man made a sound of confusion, incredulously looking left and right, and finally confirmed the fact that the car was driving backwards.

But when he got on the bus, the driver was clearly driving with the front of the car forward!

The man pulled his head back from the window, and his flustered expression was quickly caught by Rin.

What did he see outside?

"I'm hallucinating from working overtime. I have to see a doctor. I'll see a doctor tomorrow after I get home and sleep. No, I'll go now. Driver, next stop."

The man rubbed his eyes and shouted at the driver in front.

This time it was Rin's turn to be dumbfounded. The other party was shouting at the driver, so why was he shouting at her seat?

Isn't it obvious that the driver is sitting at the front of the car? What's the use of shouting at the last few rows?

The man stood up and walked to the door, tightly grasping the handle.

Bang!

The car body suddenly trembled for a moment. The man almost lost his balance. Fortunately, his hand was holding the handle and he didn't fall.

But the phone in his bag was not so lucky. It fell to the ground with a "thud."

"..."

The man took a few breaths, bent down, and prepared to pick up the phone from the ground.

The moment he picked up the phone and was about to get up, his peripheral vision swept across the car.

Thud!

The man fell to the ground on his butt, his eyes wide open, his mouth open, and his body trembled as he let out a terrified "ah ah" sound.

The feet of all the passengers sitting in the car.

Were all backwards.

The man was a little incoherent. He tried to calm himself down, his eyes blinking constantly, trying to convince himself that these were all illusions from too much pressure.

The man took a few more glances. The passengers' feet had all turned back to normal, and only then did he heave a sigh of relief.

"It's an illusion... I've been under too much work pressure recently, I'm seeing hallucinations..."

The man stood up, pretending to be calm, and prepared to sit back in his seat.

But he found that all the passengers were facing away from him.

The next second, the passengers' heads all turned 360 degrees towards him.

"Ah!"

The man roared like crazy, his eyeballs trembling violently. He found two normal people in the second to last row and rushed over without any hesitation.

"There's a ghost in the car! There's a ghost in the car!!"

Rin: "???"

Looking at the man rushing towards her, Rin had a bad premonition in her heart.

Rin looked around, but nothing abnormal appeared. But this was from her perspective.

From the man's perspective, he had probably seen the other side of the bus.

He had been recognized.

When humans are extremely scared, they will always run towards their most trusted kind, as if grabbing a life-saving straw.

During the holidays, Li Mo had taken Rin to a haunted house. After encountering a ghost disguised by a staff member, he had also been scared and hid behind her, instinctively grabbing anything he could.

Wait, then wasn't it that only she and Kallen were the only two living people on this bus??

Rin looked up and scanned the car again.

This time, all the passengers tilted their heads and stared at her with one eye.

It's over, it's over.

If this man really ran in front of her, then she would definitely be recognized as a human!

The consequences of being recognized as a human were self-evident.

Rin shook her head slightly and blinked desperately, trying to remind the man not to come over. If he calmed down for a while, there might still be a chance of survival.

But the man, who had been under a lot of mental pressure and had suddenly exploded, was completely unaware of this and ran towards Rin like crazy.

Annoying! Why am I so unlucky?

What now? Jump out of the car window? No, if I'm not sure that the station I'm getting off at is the real world, I'll be chased by the ghosts on the bus.

Just like the two people who were laughing when they got off the bus before.

Do nothing? No, the outcome might not be much better than jumping out of the car window.

The ghosts in the car had already noticed. If this continued...

"..."

Rin closed her eyes for a while. When she opened them again, the noisy sound was gone.

The fleeing man seemed to have disappeared, and his figure was nowhere to be seen.

Kallen on the side was sleeping peacefully with her eyes closed, completely ignoring what had happened in the car.
