"Is it because it's raining outside and some passengers got their clothes wet and sat here directly?" Xiao Gu reached out and touched the backrest. It didn't look like rain, and it felt weird. He couldn't explain it clearly: "I'd better change seats."

The bus was driving very steadily, and the scenery on both sides was rapidly receding, but he did not feel any bumps.

Standing up, Xiao Gu looked around. There were very few passengers on the last bus, only six in total including him.

The first three rows on the left were empty. An old lady was sitting in the fourth row. She kept looking out the window and seemed to be worried about something.

There was a woman sitting in the fourth row on the right, looking down at her cell phone.

She was probably around 30 years old, dressed very fashionably, and must be an employee of a nearby company. She had been working overtime until now and was taking the last bus home.

Xiao Gu was sitting in the middle of the bus. Behind him was a woman who looked to be in her 40s or 50s, holding a child of about three or four years old in her arms.

The woman's figure was seriously out of shape, she was equally fat from top to bottom and had pockmarks on her face, but the child in her arms had delicate features and looked nothing like her.

Looking further back, I saw a student sitting in the last row of the bus. He was carrying a schoolbag and his coat was wet from the rain, as if he had just come out of a cram school.

"Students are under so much pressure nowadays." Xiao Gu was about to look away when a male student sitting in the last row of the bus suddenly looked up and looked at him, but the student quickly looked away again.

"Why is his face so pale and his body is still shaking? Is he sick?"

Xiao Gu, a passenger in the car, looked around and didn't find anything strange.

He changed his seat and sat near the rear door.

Playing the role of a murderer in a haunted house is also a physical job that requires running back and forth. Sometimes, in order to create surprises, you have to follow the boss's instructions, take a detour, and block the tourists in advance through secret passages.

After a whole day of this, Xiao Gu was also very tired.

He leaned back in his chair, feeling sleepy and his eyelids became heavy.

When Xiao Gu was about to fall asleep, something gently touched the back of his head.

Turning his head, he saw a small ball of paper on the ground: "Did that student throw it?"

Xiao Gu picked up the paper ball. He originally thought it was a prank, but when he thought about the student's expression just now, he felt a little uneasy.

Holding the note, Xiao Gu looked back and saw the student huddled in the last row with his head down, as if he was not the one who threw the note.

Without asking, Xiao Gu unfolded the note in his hand, on which was written in very sloppy handwriting with a pen: "Don't sleep, be careful not to miss your stop."

It was a very common reminder. Xiao Gu knew that the other party had good intentions. He put the note away, smiled at the boy in the last row, and said softly, "It's okay. I'll get off at the terminal."

He deliberately lowered his voice, but because no one spoke in the car and it was very quiet, his voice was much louder than he thought.

As soon as the word "terminal" came out, the bus suddenly shook slightly. Gu Feiyu looked towards the cab and found that the driver was also observing him through the rearview mirror.

The driver was wearing the uniform of Jiujiang Bus Company. His jacket was a bit worn. His Adam's apple rolled and his face was covered in sweat. He seemed very nervous and scared.

With both hands tightly gripping the steering wheel, the driver and the student alike avoided Xiao Gu's sight.

"What is he afraid of?" Xiao Gu was a little confused. The driver looked at him strangely just now, as if he wanted to convey some message to Xiao Gu.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier. Inside and outside the car were two different worlds. Xiao Gu didn't dare to sleep anymore. He secretly watched the other passengers in the car.

The bus sped along in the rainy night and soon arrived at the next stop.

The No. 104 bus entered the platform and stopped, and then the electronic synthesized voice sounded again.

"Ding! We have arrived at the Central Hospital. Passengers who are getting off please take your belongings with you and get off from the back door."

The front and rear doors opened at the same time, and raindrops from outside fell into the car.

After a while, a middle-aged man with a red rope tied around his wrist got on the bus from the front door. He was wearing a white coat and was probably a doctor from the Central Hospital.

Standing next to the driver, the doctor searched his pockets for change but couldn't find any.

Seeing that it was raining outside, the driver didn't bother with the man. He gestured for him to get in the car first and then look for it slowly.

The front door closed and the doctor walked into the car holding the handrail. He paused when passing Xiao Gu and turned his head to look at Xiao Gu.

Sitting in the seat, Xiao Gu looked up and looked at the doctor. He found that the doctor looked scary, with ugly eyebrows and his eyeballs bulged outwards when he looked at people, as if they were about to fall out.

"Hello..." Xiao Gu was really embarrassed by the doctor's gaze. He stood up and prepared to get out of the car and leave.

When the doctor saw Xiao Gu get up, he took the initiative to step back, smiled at Xiao Gu embarrassedly, and sat next to Xiao Gu on the other side of the aisle.

It was dark inside the car, and Xiao Gu vaguely discovered that when the doctor smiled just now, he seemed to have no teeth in his mouth.

He touched the note in his pocket, didn't stay there for long, and walked straight to the back door.

"I'd better take a taxi back." Holding the handrail, Xiao Gu walked to the car door, but his body suddenly froze and his face was full of disbelief.

Just outside the back door of the bus, on the platform, stood a woman in a red raincoat. She lowered her head, her hair stuck together, covering her face.

"Red Raincoat? Why is she here? This isn't the same station as before!"

Gu Feiyu stood at the door in a daze, and the cold synthetic voice in the car rang out again.

"The vehicle is moving. Please sit tight and hold on. Welcome to the No. 104 unmanned ticket bus. Passengers who are getting on the bus please move to the back door. The next stop is Hong's Restaurant."

The rear door slowly closed, and Xiao Gu finally realized, "Why did that woman in the raincoat appear outside the Central Hospital station? She seemed to be a little closer to the rear door! Has she been following me?"

With sweat on his forehead, Xiao Gu's behavior was similar to that of the driver just now. He held the handrail tightly and did not return to his seat immediately.

"Are you...feeling unwell?" A cold voice suddenly came from behind, and the doctor stared at Xiao Gu's back.

"It's okay." Xiao Gu sat back in his seat and lowered his voice: "Brother, did you see a woman standing outside the back door just now? She was wearing a red raincoat."

"Red raincoat?" The doctor shook his head: "Did you see it wrong?"

"Impossible." Xiao Gu turned his head and said to the students in the last row, "Did you see that woman just now? She was standing in the middle of the station!"

The student did not answer Xiao Gu's question, and did not even turn his head. He was concentrating on looking at the rain outside the window, but his hands were still groping in his schoolbag, as if he was looking for something.
