The other side.
After Lin Fan left the Bloody Hotel, the afternoon sun was still scorching, and he could not see the Yellow Springs Bus wandering on the city roads for the time being. Naturally, he was not in a hurry to rush to the Nightmare Restaurant. He walked around the streets for a while, searching for the place of opportunity that still existed in his memory.
After all, although he had the memory of a rebirth, it had been ten years, and the events that were not particularly important and critical to him, such as ghostly hands and shadows, were not very memorable.
In addition, before his rebirth, his strength was low and he had not achieved any brilliant achievements. If he followed the steps in his memory, the opportunities and resources he obtained would be of low quality.
After walking through several streets, seeing some familiar buildings and areas, and sensing some familiar atmosphere, I was able to recall some of the impressions in my memory.
"That building has a hanging quirk. It's a mid-level life-chasing quirk, and its quirk is the rope. It's caused me a lot of trouble... But you need to hang yourself until you're near death, still holding onto your breath, to have a chance to form a contract with it. There's no need to gamble your life on it. Transferring to the underworld is too much of a loss."
"There seems to be a strange vegetable cutter in that restaurant. It's quite powerful, so Master Xue could give it a try... But it has a strange temper, so you have to look erratic when eating the food it prepares, and not feel nauseous or you'll become the ingredient for the strange vegetable cutter."
"This hair salon... a friend of mine went there and said the facial cleansers there are good and cheap."
"That kindergarten has a childcare monster. Only children under five years old have a chance to contract it..."
…
Lin Fan spent several hours writing down everything he observed and the information he could recall with pen and paper, listing more than a dozen items in total.
Among these, there are some weirds like the Hanging Weird and the Conservation Weird, which are generally not very useful, but you need to be vigilant. There are also some weirds with good functionality, which you can try to obtain contracts for.
Of course, these are not of high priority. In any case, we have to wait until the acquisition of the Bloody Hotel is completed before we can start any operations. There is no rush at the moment.
After putting away the notes, Lin Fan looked at the time again. It was already around five o'clock in the afternoon. The intensity of sunlight had decreased a lot, and the direction of the sun began to shift to the west and gradually set.
A cold and icy air gradually began to spread in the street, and the strange atmosphere became thicker.
The streets were already deserted; even in broad daylight, few dared to linger for long. Now, at dusk, Lin Fan stood still and gazed, unable to spot a single person within a few hundred meters.
Sure enough, after the terror came, although the living were powerless to deal with the weirdness, they also knew how to avoid it.
During the day, the outside world is the world of the living; but at night, it becomes the home of the weird.
As the only living person on the street, Lin Fan walked slowly, standing out particularly in the extremely silent street.
From time to time, there were a few surprised glances in the building, cast on him.
These are all living people from hiding homes.
"Mom and Dad...why is he allowed to walk around outside?"
"That kid...isn't he really afraid of death?"
"Looking at his pace, he seems to be in no hurry at all, but it's already five o'clock! Six o'clock at the latest... those things will be coming out soon."
"Shh, in a little while, the curtains have to be drawn."
"That kid probably doesn't want to live anymore because all the people he cares about are dead."
…
In the residential buildings, each family was either talking to themselves or whispering to each other, all feeling extremely surprised.
The strange resurrection has long been known to everyone.
In just a few days, countless people have lost their lives, including their neighbors, relatives, and friends. Therefore, these people naturally know the power and terror of the strange.
This is why people who are still walking on the streets after dark are so surprised.
After collecting all the information he could, Lin Fan walked to a nearby bus stop.
One of them has lights on, advertising models are prominent, and the design is modern and novel. This is a normal bus stop sign in the city, used for waiting for buses used by living people.
However, after the terror struck, bus drivers had long since stopped working. After all, the chances of encountering a strange death were too high when they had to travel through the streets and alleys and drive around the city.
Whether it’s day or night, all the buses you see in the city come from Huangquan Station!
Lin Fan walked past the bright and novel bus stop sign, stopped at another dull, old-style iron sign covered with ancient patterns, and waited patiently.
Before I had waited long, it seemed to sense that a passenger was about to get on the bus.
At the other end of the street, there was a Huangquan bus with dim lights. Every time it drove a distance, it could be heard making a creaking sound, like an old man's bones loosening, as it came from afar.
The speed was not slow. When Lin Fan noticed it, it only took tens of seconds for it to stop in front of him.
"Welcome to the Yellow Springs bus."
In the car, there was still a strange combination of a ticket seller and a strange driver.
In addition, there were several strange figures. When they saw living people standing under the bus door, their eyes revealed a primitive desire to eat them.
Lin Fan looked inside and didn't see the old man in plain clothes. He thought he had taken another Huangquan bus.
Then, he stepped onto the Huangquan bus.
In the buildings and residences, the few living people who were originally paying attention to Lin Fan were all a little dull.
"The bus... is still running?"
"How fearless is that driver... What if the person who gets in the car isn't a human?"
They were whispering and secretly marveling at each other.
But as they watched, the Huangquan bus drove to a corner and did not turn.
Instead, he just stepped on the accelerator and crashed into a building!
Before they could get worried, they saw with their own eyes that the entire bus had completely sunk into the wall, completely disappearing without a trace.
All of a sudden, the few living people who saw this scene trembled violently, and then a chill rose from the soles of their feet to the top of their heads, as if they fell into an ice cave, and they were so scared that their whole bodies went numb!
"That kid... he's not human!"
"He must be weird... otherwise why would he dare to wander the streets? He must be trying to trick us into coming down and take our lives!"
"Hurry up and pull down the curtains... From now on, you must be home before five o'clock!"
"I said it was almost night, how could there still be buses running?"
"Oh no! I just made eye contact with him. I don't want to die... Quick, lock the door!"
Lin Fan didn't know that his unintentional action caused panic among the nearby survivors.
…
…
After getting on the bus, Lin Fan reported the destination he wanted to go to and paid the corresponding fare in ghost money, which made the few people who only had standing tickets look a little surprised and stunned.
Just one living person is worth more than the strange ghost money... Is this reasonable?
After Lin Fan took his seat, Guiyi, who was driving, glanced back and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, this living person is more normal.
Today, a colleague came crying through the bus intercom, saying that a living person had been haggling with the bus for three hours over the price, and that the bus had gone crazy.
