Outside the building, the night was as dark as ink, and the streets were deserted, with only dim streetlights swaying in the wind.
Xiao Jin walked out of the building and started running along the markings on the map. Soon, at her speed, she saw the lonely bus stop in the distance.
It says "Bus Stop No. 12" on it.
Xiao Jin stopped and waited for less than two minutes before she saw a dilapidated bus slowly approaching.
The car was covered in rust, and a faint green light emanated from the windows, as if a huge monster was opening its bloody maw, waiting for its prey to take the bait.
"Ha~ What a ghost bus!" Xiao Jin sneered and boarded the bus without hesitation.
Because the other people were located in places that were either near or far, Xiao Jin was the only one taking the bus at that moment.
But when Xiao Jin got on the bus, she found that she was not lonely, because the bus was already full of "passengers".
They were all expressionless, pale-faced, and their eyes gleamed with an eerie light.
Upon seeing Xiao Jin come up, they all stared at her with burning eyes, as if she were some kind of unparalleled beauty.
Xiao Jin remained calm, casually finding a seat by the window. He gently placed the long sword in his hand on his knee, its blade gleaming coldly in the dim light.
The car then slowly started moving and drove towards the location ahead.
However, not long after they started driving, the "passengers" inside the car began to get restless.
The desire in their eyes was barely contained; they looked at Xiao Jinshi and grinned from ear to ear, revealing their gleaming white teeth.
“Hiss~ Humans, smell so good, humans…” one of the “passengers” said in a low voice, his voice hoarse and cold, while licking his lower lip.
Xiao Jin lowered her eyes, but the eyes beneath her black hair shone with an alarming brightness.
Suddenly, a vengeful ghost could no longer resist and pounced on Xiao Jin, its hands like sharp blades aimed straight for her neck.
Xiao Jin quickly dodged to the side, the shadow flashing past in an instant, the blade drawing a silver light in the air, heading straight for the ghost's head.
"You're courting death!" Xiao Jin's tone was icy, and his long sword showed no mercy as he ruthlessly cut the charging ghost in half at the waist.
Just as the vengeful ghost attacked Xiao Jin, its movements resembled a battle horn, attracting even more vengeful ghosts to surround it.
Xiao Jin quickly activated the quantum shield of his damage-immunity bracers, and the longsword in his hand almost became a blur.
The vengeful ghosts surged in like a tide, and Xiao Jin used teleportation to flash through the carriage.
'Bang bang bang~~'
From a distance, the driver of bus route 12 seemed quite excited today, actually dancing a disco on the highway.
But only upon closer inspection did one realize that countless windows of the bus had been smashed to pieces, along with several vengeful ghosts thrown out of the vehicle.
Five minutes later.
Xiao Jin sat in his seat with an air of nonchalance, leaning on his long sword with one hand, his eyes seemingly quite content.
Sigh~ It still feels so good to beat someone up!
The few remaining vengeful ghosts inside the car were huddled together in the last row of seats, trembling, and looked at Xiao Jinshi as if she were a demon.
No, it's more terrifying than the devil!
As for the driver in front, his body was stiff as a board.
It firmly believed that if that human hadn't needed it to drive, it would have been smashed into a pile of mud long ago.
Seemingly in an effort to get rid of Xiao Jin, this plague god, the bus driver slammed on the gas pedal while ensuring the vehicle remained stable.
At this moment, the phrase "run away as fast as you can" became a reality!
The 20-minute drive was shortened to ten minutes by the driver.
As Xiao Jin'an stood safely on the ground, a piercing roar came from behind her, and then the bus sped away like the wind.
………………
"Huayuan Residential Area!" Xiao Jin looked up to confirm the location, then strode in.
"Cough cough cough~"
Not far away, a heavy coughing fit came from the security guard's room.
Xiao Jin glanced over as she walked.
Then, through the dark crack in the door, Xiao Jin met a pair of cloudy eyes.
The other party made no attempt to hide the sinister malice in their eyes, looking at Xiao Jin as if they were prey about to be captured.
Xiao Jin ignored him. As long as he didn't rush to his death, she wouldn't make a move, since she was in a hurry.
As Xiao Jin left the security room, she had only walked a short distance into the residential area when she saw a woman dressed in white standing by the roadside.
The woman had her back to her, her shoulders trembling slightly, as if she were crying.
Seemingly sensing Xiao Jin's presence, the other person spoke up, "I can't find my child, can you help me?"
The woman's voice was sweet yet chilling, as if it came from the depths of hell.
Xiao Jin did not respond to the woman's words because she remembered a rumor.
Those who ask such questions are substitute ghosts. If you answer them, they might take over your body.
Not hearing Xiao Jin's response, the woman slowly turned around. She had no facial features, not even a mouth.
I don't even know how I came up with that sentence.
This kind of substitute ghost is easy to deal with; just ignore her.
Xiao Jin continued walking towards Unit 7 without looking to the side. When she reached the substitute ghost blocking her way, she simply walked around it.
Just as Xiao Jin had expected, the substitute ghost did not do anything dangerous.
The first few buildings were units 10, 9, and 8, and soon they arrived at unit 7, which Xiao Jin was looking for.
Xiao Jin had just arrived at the bottom of Unit 7 and hadn't gone inside yet.
At that moment, her heart clenched, and an ominous premonition slid down her spine.
Xiao Jin instinctively stepped back, and almost at the same instant, a heavy object, accompanied by a whistling sound, hurtled towards the spot where she had been standing.
A loud bang!
The moment the heavy object hit the ground, countless red liquids mixed with white brain matter exploded and splattered everywhere, instantly staining the clean and tidy ground red, and a pungent smell of blood quickly filled the air.
Xiao Jin reacted quickly, calmly putting away the transparent shield that had just been activated, which still had a few drops of blood on it.
Her gaze swept calmly across the scene before her, and she saw a man lying in front of her, twisted at an unbelievable angle.
The reason the other person was in such a bad state was because he fell headfirst to the ground.
Jumping off a building? This is already so exciting right from the start!
Xiao Jin narrowed his eyes slightly and looked up at the entire building.
Since the Huayuan residential complex consists entirely of high-rise buildings, the rooftop is not visible at all, making it difficult for Xiao Jin to determine how the other person came down.
Is it passive or active?
Just as she was about to analyze the situation further, an even more terrifying scene unfolded.
The pile of rotten flesh on the ground began to tremble slightly.
Xiao Jin raised an eyebrow slightly.
Ahead, a figure twisted and contorted in a pool of blood before standing up abruptly.
The male corpse's head was tilted at an eerie angle, its blood-soaked mouth grinning menacingly at Xiao Jin, revealing a scarlet hole inside.
The man then turned around and swayed as he walked back into the building.
