The tall, thin young man died. Some passengers gloated, but most looked somber and sighed repeatedly.
There's a sense of shared sorrow, like the rabbit mourning the fox's death.
"There's definitely something strange about this car!"
Gu Chen was one of the three men who boarded the train at the same stop as Xia Tianqiong. He suddenly stood up, his eyes blazing as he scanned everyone on the train.
He suspected the strange occurrence was among the passengers.
"Brother Gu, don't be impulsive. I have a feeling something's wrong. Let's ask about the situation first."
Liu Renguang, who was standing next to Gu Chen, pulled him aside and then asked the passengers in the car, "What exactly happened? Can any of you tell us?"
The driver continued driving the bus, as if none of this concerned him.
The dozen or so passengers either looked indifferent, had blank stares, or kept their heads down and remained silent; none of them answered Liu Renguang's question.
The woman was so frightened that she had difficulty breathing. She quickly took out a nitroglycerin pill and swallowed it herself.
The young girl sat in her seat, her hands trembling as she took out her phone, preparing to call the police.
But there was no signal.
She tried to open the window and shout outside, but the window wouldn't open.
"Are you all mute? I'm asking you a question!"
Gu Chen has a bad temper and a fierce look on his face.
Unfortunately, nobody paid him any attention.
Guo Zhan, who had been relatively quiet, pulled him back to his seat and whispered, "Don't be impulsive. We'll observe and eventually discover the rules ourselves."
The three of them were not ordinary people, but civilian ghost hunters recruited by the Bureau of Supernatural Affairs.
Since we've encountered something strange, we must find a way to solve it.
Huang Yu looked at the trash cans in the bus with some curiosity, "Boss, could the trash cans be the real thing?"
Xia Tianqiong replied, "That possibility cannot be ruled out."
"How did that tall, thin young man die? Was it because he was trying to warn us, thus triggering the death rule?"
"No, there's a rule here that you can't get the bus dirty. When that person was crying, they wiped their tears with their hand, and then their hand went to hold the handrail. The tears got on the handrail, which counts as getting the bus dirty, so it triggers the death rule."
"Oh, I see. That's really bad luck."
The two communicated telepathically and sat comfortably in the back.
They seemed to be watching a play, not panicked at all.
Guo Zhan and his two companions frequently turned to look at them, seemingly showing some interest in the two of them.
The bus stopped at the bus stop again, and the middle-aged woman, dragging her shopping bags, hurriedly got off the bus, followed closely by the young girl.
Strangely, the older woman was unharmed, but the young girl was suddenly pulled back onto the bus by a mysterious force.
Then, just like the young man before him, he was compressed into a ball, thrown into a trash can, and disappeared.
What's even stranger is that when someone gets on the bus at this moment, it's as if they don't see what's happening.
Five people boarded the bus this time: a pregnant woman, a couple, a student with a backpack, and a middle-aged woman.
The pregnant woman received the same treatment as the older woman, and all the existing passengers on the bus were eager to give her their seats.
This scene also surprised the people who had just boarded the bus.
There were plenty of empty seats on the bus, and everyone had a seat.
The couple also came to the last row and sat to the right of Xia Tianqiong and Huang Yu.
The two had barely sat down when they held hands, leaned against each other, and whispered sweet nothings to each other, their faces close together.
The student with the backpack sat in the row in front of Xia Tianqiong, placing his bag on the seat, thus occupying two seats.
The middle-aged woman casually found a seat, holding a jianbing guozi (a type of Chinese crepe), and started eating it as soon as she got on the bus, attracting a lot of attention.
But that gaze was like that of someone looking at a dead person.
The bus continued its journey, and the atmosphere on board was somewhat somber.
Soon we arrived at the next stop.
The person who gave up his seat to the pregnant woman was a middle-aged man. He didn't say a word, and immediately jumped out of the car after the car stopped and left without looking back.
Nothing happened to him.
At the same time, the sweet young couple was suddenly compressed into a ball of flesh.
The middle-aged woman who ate the jianbing guozi (a type of savory crepe) also met the same fate.
The student, on the other hand, was engrossed in reading a novel on his phone, oblivious to everything that was happening, and didn't even notice that three people were suddenly missing from the bus.
No one boarded the train at this stop, leaving the passengers extremely disappointed.
Huang Yu was a little curious and asked Xia Tianqiong, "What rules did that couple trigger?"
"Showing off your love will only lead to a quick breakup!"
"Pfft!"
Huang Yu actually laughed. The other person was dead, and she was still laughing.
"What other rules are there, boss? Tell me about them."
"This beat-up car has quite a few rules, let me think!"
So Xia Tianqiong thought about it and told Huang Yu about it.
Rule 1: If an elderly person, pregnant woman, or young child boards the bus, and the person who fails to give up their seat will trigger the death rule when disembarking.
Rule 2: Littering, spitting, or other behaviors that soil the bus will immediately trigger the death rule.
Rule 3: Uncivilized behaviors such as taking off shoes or farting will immediately trigger the death rule.
Rule 4: Engaging in intimate behavior in the car will trigger a death rule when getting out of the car.
Rule 5: Eating in the vehicle will trigger a death rule when you get off.
Rule 6: When the number of people on the bus exceeds the total number of seats, if one person occupies two seats, the death rule will be triggered when getting off the bus.
Rule 7: Using profanity or swear words in the car will immediately trigger the death rule.
Rule 8: Bragging in the car will immediately trigger the death rule.
Rule 9: Stealing something in the car will trigger a death rule when you get off.
Rule 10: Indecent assault or taking photos of others in a vehicle will immediately trigger the death rule.
Rule 11: Assaulting, pulling, or verbally abusing the driver will immediately trigger the death rule.
Rule 12: Blocking the doorway without getting out of the car will immediately trigger the death rule.
...
Rule 18: The elderly, pregnant women, and young children may board and alight normally if the above rules are not violated. Others may not disembark even if the above rules are not violated; only those who give up their seats to the elderly, pregnant women, or young children may disembark.
The rules of this bizarre bus seem numerous, but for a normal person, the probability of triggering them is not high.
