Xia Tianqiong stood by the roadside and glanced at the time on her phone.
It's only a little past eight in the morning, and there's still plenty of time before six in the evening. I'll find a place to sleep and go to Wujian Restaurant later tonight.
Just as he was about to teleport away, he suddenly sensed something and turned to look at the street ahead.
After humans make a pact with the supernatural, they can sense each other's approximate location no matter how far apart they are, but it won't be very accurate.
When the distance is relatively close, such as one or two kilometers, one can clearly perceive the other party's specific location, movement speed, and so on.
When the distance is only a few dozen meters, communication across distances can be achieved through thought.
Xia Tianqiong suddenly sensed that Huang Yu was one kilometer away and was moving rapidly toward him.
A moment later, a red supercar pulled up to the side of the road.
The car door slowly popped open, and a beautiful woman in a white casual suit stepped out. She wore large sunglasses that looked like panda eyes and walked with a confident stride, giving off a cool and capable vibe.
"Boss, I'm back!"
Huang Yu took off her sunglasses, walked up to Xia Tianqiong, and smiled sweetly, attracting the attention of countless passersby.
If you didn't know, who would have thought that such a beautiful woman would be a weirdo!
Xia Tianqiong's eyes lit up; Huang Yu's outfit was even more stunning than the last time.
If this were in the Chinese entertainment industry, she could debut right there.
"Didn't I give you two days off? Why are you back after only one day?"
"There are too many strange things happening now, I'm worried about the boss's safety!"
"Hehe, your employee is very conscientious, I'm very satisfied."
Xia Tianqiong smiled and asked, "Have you made arrangements for everyone at home?"
Huang Yu nodded, a hint of sadness in her voice. "It's all arranged. Last night we captured two wild monsters and forced them to sign a human-master contract with my parents. As long as we don't encounter any powerful monsters, we'll be fine for the time being."
"Don't be sad. Once I've built the safe base, I can bring your parents over."
Xia Tianqiong plans to establish a safe base in the chessboard world, and he will definitely need to gather some humans; it's impossible for him to be the only one inside.
"Really?"
Huang Yu looked delighted. "Where will it be set up? When will it be set up? Can I help?"
"I'll talk to you about this later, let's not chat on the street. Haven't you seen how many people have run into lampposts?"
"Where are you going, boss? I'll drive you!"
"Let's find a place to sleep."
Huang Yu turned around to open the car door, but upon hearing this, she froze, her pretty face slightly flushed.
She glanced at Xia Tianqiong and whispered, "Boss, he's acting strangely right now, aren't you afraid of... you know?"
"What?"
Xia Tianqiong asked the question subconsciously, but realized after the words left her mouth that the other party had misunderstood.
"What are you thinking? I didn't sleep a wink last night, I need to sleep."
"Oh, hehe!"
Huang Yu smiled awkwardly, then lowered her head shyly and said, "Boss, I'm your person, no, I'm your ghost. If needed, I don't mind! But... you know, it shortens one's lifespan. You should be aware of that!"
"..."
Xia Tianqiong wanted to say that she had a lifespan extension technique and didn't care about losing her lifespan at all.
However, he swallowed the words back before he could finish them, lest the other party misunderstand him as being lustful—no, lustful!
"Alright, enough talk, let's get out of here."
Xia Tianqiong opened the car door and prepared to sit in the passenger seat. This was the first time he had ever ridden in such a nice car.
Just then, a bus drove by.
A faint, ethereal power also passed by.
Xia Tianqiong and Huang Yu looked at the bus almost simultaneously.
Huang Yu whispered a warning: "Boss, there might be something strange in the car!"
"Not necessarily, the bus might be the strange one!"
Xia Tianqiong looked at the number "18" lit up on the top of the bus, and suddenly thought of something, her expression showing some excitement.
He immediately closed the car door and quickly followed, saying, "Let's go take the bus."
Huang Yu didn't ask anything and followed closely behind.
The bus stop was just a dozen meters ahead, and the bus arrived just as the two ran over.
The two scanned the code and boarded the bus; everything seemed normal.
But as soon as I entered the bus, I noticed that the passengers in the carriage were acting strangely.
They all looked haggard, with dark circles under their eyes and messy hair, as if they hadn't slept all night.
As soon as they stepped onto the bus, everyone craned their necks, looking on expectantly, their eyes filled with undisguised anticipation.
I have no idea what they're expecting.
The people sitting near the door all stood up abruptly, seemingly wanting to offer their seats, but upon seeing that it was two young people, they sat back down with disappointed expressions.
He was still complaining, "It's always young people, what bad luck!"
"We've been at several stops already, why are all the people getting on here young and middle-aged?"
"I can't hold on much longer, could you please give me a chance next time?!"
There were twelve or thirteen passengers on the bus, saying things that were hard to understand.
The seats weren't full; there were two or three rows of empty seats at the back. Xia Tianqiong and Huang Yu went straight to the last row.
Besides the two of them, three other men boarded the train at this stop. They seemed to know each other, as they huddled together and whispered to each other as soon as they got on.
The original passengers on the bus looked at the newcomers with strange eyes.
Some passengers seemed to want to say something but hesitated, only to be stopped by the other passengers' eyes.
As soon as Huang Yu sat down, she used her mind to remind Xia Tianqiong, "Boss, this car is very strange. It's isolated from the outside world, and I can't sense anything outside."
Xia Tianqiong reassured her, "Don't worry, I know about this strange thing."
Before boarding, he only had doubts, but after boarding and seeing the passengers' behavior, he was basically certain that this was the strange bus that had a minor reputation in his previous life.
