At the time, he thought it was because it was too dark inside the car that he couldn't see the faces of the other passengers.

But now that I think about it, I can explain why I couldn't see or remember the faces of the other passengers by the poor lighting in the carriage, but I can't even remember who the driver was that night.

There are always lights near the driver's seat; there is no dimly lit area.

As mentioned earlier, this bus usually has only two drivers who take turns on shifts, and he is familiar with both of them.

But that night, the driver didn't even know which of the two drivers he was.

Or is it that it wasn't either of them at all?

Seeing his furrowed brows, Lin Xi knew he definitely couldn't remember what the other people in the car looked like.

At this point, Lin Xi was basically certain that the four people falling into a coma was related to their ride on the bus that night.

But she still needs to be sure of one thing.

Lin Xi turned to look at Village Chief Xu and asked.

"Is the next stop for that bus the next village?"

Village Chief Xu immediately replied, "Yes, the next stop is the village next door."

Lin Xi: "Then go and find out now, ask if anyone in the next village has experienced a similar situation, especially to find out if they also took that bus that night."

Although we can now roughly deduce that the people falling asleep is related to that bus, it would be better to confirm it again as a precaution.

Upon hearing this, Village Chief Xu quickly realized what was going on.

So he immediately took out his phone and called the village chief of the neighboring village.

The two had a good relationship, and since they were both village chiefs, they often chatted.

However, because people in the village kept falling into a coma these past few days, Village Chief Xu was so busy that he didn't have time to chat with the village chief of the neighboring village.

I called them back, and they answered quickly. But the first thing they said was—

"Hey Lao Xu, what's up? Tell me quickly, I'm in a really urgent situation!"

When Village Chief Xu heard that the other party had an urgent matter, he would normally tell them to go ahead with their business and that he would talk to them later.

But he also had important matters to attend to, so he could only ask Lin Xi's question as quickly as possible.

Unexpectedly, the village chief of the neighboring village on the other end of the phone exclaimed loudly upon hearing this.

"This is happening in your village too?!"

The single word "also" was enough to give Village Chief Xu his answer.

He replied instinctively.

"Oh, that's great! I didn't know your village had this situation too!"

He sounded quite happy.

The village chief from the neighboring village: "???"

He was about to ask Old Xu what he meant when Village Chief Xu realized what was going on and quickly explained the situation, mentioning that they had consulted a master.

The village chief from the neighboring village is happy this time.

He's been worrying about this for the past couple of days!

So he said with a smile.

"Look at you, why didn't you say so earlier? Now what does the master say, and what do we need to do to cooperate?"

Goodness, they even used "we," they really don't consider themselves outsiders.

Village Chief Xu silently grumbled to himself, but said nothing.

After all, we're all from the same village, and he hopes everyone can return to normal as soon as possible and resolve this matter completely.

But Village Chief Xu didn't know what Lin Xi was going to do next, so he could only turn on his phone's speaker and watch Lin Xi expectantly.

After learning from the village chief of the neighboring village that someone in their village had also fallen asleep after taking the bus that night, Lin Xi was now 100% certain that there was a problem with that bus.

The task at hand is, of course, to personally take that bus.

Upon hearing this, Village Chief Xu hurriedly asked, "Is there anything else we can do?"

Lin Xi shook her head: "No need, I can go by myself."

It just so happens that today is market day, so Lin Xi decided to follow the same plan as the others that day and take the 9 o'clock bus back to the village from town that evening.

After finding out where the young men had boarded the bus, Lin Xi went to town and caught the late market.
