After staring at Mo Shuwan for a few seconds, Qin Liu tugged at the corners of his mouth and smiled, "It really has been a long time."

Mo Shuwan was stunned when she saw Qin Liu standing a few steps away. Although she hadn't had much contact with Qin Liu, she always felt that he shouldn't have this kind of personality. Just as she was about to speak, she saw the two of them push aside the new passenger blocking their way and walk directly to the corner.

"We weren't familiar with each other to begin with, so a simple greeting is enough."

Mo Shuwan snapped out of her reverie and smiled. "Yes, we were just strangers who met by chance."

The group didn't think much of Qin Liu and Wan Sheng's coldness. After all, they had only had a brief exchange when they met in the mission world, and almost two months had passed since then. Their attitude was perfectly normal.

With Mo Shuwan and her group backing them up, the new passengers demanded that the old passengers return their points.

"Moderator, what they want is our points. When we first came in, they ambushed us and almost stole all our points."

"Bullshit, your scores aren't even enough to fill our teeth."

"Damn it! You steal people's things and you still think you're right!" A new passenger angrily kicked an old passenger's arm hard.

What is the purpose of grades?

Upon seeing that it was Wen Zuo who was asking the question, the old passenger who had already sat up dared not act arrogantly anymore and snorted coldly, saying, "We don't know either, we just heard that the more points you have, the more advantageous it is for the situation later on."

Cheng Hua, who had been staring intently at the crystal in Yun Chen's hand, immediately turned his head to look at it. He walked up to the other party with a sullen face and stood still.

Since meeting Cheng Hua, he had been acting unreliable. Now, his sudden serious expression made them think he had discovered something. Mo Shuwan and the others turned to look at him, and the atmosphere that had just relaxed seemed to freeze again.

Cheng Hua looked down at the elderly passenger who had collapsed in front of him, narrowed his eyes, and said, "Hand over all your points!"

...

...

You went through all that trouble just to get points?!

The passenger targeted by Chenghua felt even more aggrieved, but he had just witnessed Chenghua's fighting prowess, so he dared not disobey. Frustrated, he opened his phone and asked, "What's your name?"

Before he could finish speaking, Cheng Hua was furious. "I want you to hand over your score! How dare you ask me my name?!"

Seeing Cheng Hua descend into a rage, Mo Shuwan rubbed her temples, deciding to ignore him. "Where's Chen Jiaxu?"

Liu Dongcheng tilted his head and raised his chin towards the far corner of the square.

Mo Shuwan and Wen Zuo Shunli spotted Chen Jiaxu crouching in the corner. Seeing his head buried in his arms, they guessed that some of the horns on his forehead might be starting to appear.

"He's always been timid, and now with this identity, it's really asking too much of him to control his emotions."

Mo Shuwan also sighed, "Yes."

Ignoring Cheng Hua, who was beating up an old passenger, Mo Shuwan and the others went to Chen Jiaxu's side. Seeing Chen Jiaxu's slightly trembling body, they all felt a pang of sadness and disappointment.

If he had been more vigilant back then, he wouldn't be in this situation now.

"How many times have I told you? If you want to survive, you must control your emotions. If you expose yourself here in your current state, you will be torn to pieces immediately."

Mo Shuwan's words were not an exaggeration at all. After all, this was the venue for the Time Bus Selection Competition, and it was certain that the final enemies of those who walked out of the Time Bus would be those they encountered in the dark world. Once they were exposed, one could imagine the terrible consequences.

Chen Jiaxu's voice came out in a muffled tone, "Captain, I understand. I'm trying my best. You don't need to worry about me now."

Hearing Chen Jiaxu's relatively calm voice, Mo Shuwan breathed a sigh of relief. She was afraid that Chen Jiaxu had lost hope and would no longer want to hide it.

Several people sat down next to Chen Jiaxu.

Wen Zuo: I've thought of something strange. If the real enemies are capable of hiding themselves, that's understandable. But why is Chen Jiaxu also able to hide? I remember you said that the horns on his head were directly exposed in the room. How could he not be discovered?

Upon seeing the message from Wen Zuo, Mo Shuwan glanced at Chen Jiaxu out of the corner of her eye for a moment before starting to type.

Mo Shuwan: I've thought about this issue too. There are indeed too many unreasonable aspects to this matter. After thinking about it, I can only conclude that he hasn't been fully converted yet, so he hasn't entered the bus's monitoring range.

Wen Zuo: Pay more attention to him. I have a feeling that this matter is not so simple.

Mo Shuwan: Okay.

On the other side, Cheng Hua ruthlessly extorted money from the old passengers who had tried to attack them earlier, and his score immediately soared to first place, tens of thousands more than the second place.

As time passed, more and more passengers entered the square. Unfortunately, apart from Wan Sheng and Qin Liu, they did not see any other passengers they recognized. Finally, after waiting for two hours, a cloaked figure appeared in the square.

The square, which had been noisy just a moment ago, suddenly fell silent as everyone looked at the cloaked figure that had suddenly appeared.

The cloaked man's gaze swept across the square, and when he saw Mo Shuwan, his eyes lingered for a couple of seconds longer. Of course, no one could see his expression through the cloak.

"The first match is a team battle. You can use any means to win. Only fifty teams can advance in the end."

The passengers had no time to think, because after the cloaked man announced the rules that were nothing like rules, the scene in front of them suddenly changed dramatically. It was no longer a wide square, but a small valley, and apart from their own teammates, they could no longer see any other bus passengers.
