"The boss replied!"

Xiao Gu looked at the short line of words on the phone screen and felt much more at ease. He took out the earphones from his pocket and put them on, then dialed Chen Ge's number.

After only one ring, the phone was connected, and Chen Ge's voice came from the other end: "Try to speak less and just listen to me from now on."

"Okay." Xiao Gu leaned against the window, blocked the headphone wire with his arm, and his body swayed left and right with the vehicle.

"I have read everything you just sent me. Whether you believe it or not, I have to tell you one thing." Chen Ge's voice was calm and steady: "Before I tell you this, I hope you can be prepared in advance and don't react too much. If you are ready, send me a text message."

"Go ahead, boss." After sending the text message, Xiao Gu took a deep breath. He was still a little scared.

"I just checked the No. 104 bus you took. That bus had three accidents in a month, and the most recent one happened last night. The last bus had an accident when it passed the Dongjiao Waterworks. The bus ran off the road and almost crashed into the Bailong River next to it. It was because of this accident that the higher-ups issued an emergency notice to temporarily change the route of No. 104 bus and no longer go to Dongjiao."

"Not going to the eastern suburbs?" Xiao Gu couldn't help but say, "Then what's the matter with this bus I'm on?"

"Not only has the route of bus No. 104 been changed, but the last bus at 9 o'clock has also been cancelled. So the bus you are taking now is not the real bus No. 104. It is very likely a hearse full of dead people." Chen Ge said something extremely horrifying in a very calm tone.

The arm supporting his body trembled slightly and beads of sweat appeared on Xiao Gu's forehead. He didn't dare turn his head to look at the passengers around him. He held the mobile phone tightly in both hands, as if it was his only hope.

"What should I do?" Xiao Gu wanted to send a text message, but his fingers seemed out of control.

Chen Ge saved his life, so he always believed in Chen Ge unconditionally. But because of this, he felt even more scared after hearing what Chen Ge said.

"Calm down. You must stay calm at this time." Chen Ge's voice was free of any unnecessary emotions. "Don't speak, lest the people around you hear you. Communicate with me via text message. How far is the next stop from your bus?"

"The next stop is the East Suburb Water Plant. The stations on the suburban lines are far apart. It will probably take another seven or eight minutes to get there." Xiao Gu stretched his stiff fingers and took a long time to finish typing this sentence.

"The Dongjiao Waterworks is where the last bus of Route 104 had an accident yesterday. That stop is your last chance. You have six minutes to prepare. Tell me how far you are from the rear door. Are there any other passengers blocking the way?"

"I'm sitting near the back door, but there's a passenger next to me whose coat is wet." Xiao Gu secretly glanced to the side and saw the man with his head down leaning towards him. He was soaked, and there seemed to be some mud in his coat pockets that hadn't been cleaned up.

"Since you're so close to the back door, don't worry. Once the car stops, just do whatever you can to get out through the back door."

"Don't worry? But I still feel that my situation is very dangerous." Xiao Gu held the phone, thought for a while, and sent a message to Chen Ge: "Boss, there is a woman wearing a red raincoat outside the bus stop. I can see her at every stop! Really! I am not lying! I suspect that the woman in the red raincoat is not a human."

Xiao Gu took a breath and mustered up the courage to say this.

He had seen a ghost once in Fanghuayuan Community, and he buried that experience deep in his heart. He kept deceiving himself, but everything that happened tonight awakened that horrible memory again.

"Boss, I should be safe in the car now. Once I get off, I may have to face her alone, and face that ghost in a red raincoat." Xiao Gu's palms were full of sweat, and he didn't have much time to prepare.

"I understand your thinking. There's a ghost guarding outside the bus, and there are ghosts mixed in with the passengers on the bus. At first glance, it seems safer to stay on the bus."

"Yeah, my situation is very confusing." Xiao Gu had a sad face. He just wanted to go home, but who knew he would encounter something like this.

"It's not that there is no solution, it's just that you don't understand it." Chen Ge spoke at the fastest speed and analyzed calmly: "From the message you sent me at the beginning, I can see that the female ghost on the platform did not embarrass you. She just kept asking you if you had seen her child. This means that at least at this stage, she has no ill will towards you and just wants to find her child."

"That's right."

"Then have you ever thought about where her child went? And why was she always waiting at the bus stop?"

Xiao Gu really didn't think about this problem. Who would think so much about ghosts? Besides, he was already scared when he saw the red raincoat, so how could he have time to think about those things?

"Hong Yuyi has been following bus No. 104, which means her lost child may be on the bus." Chen Ge tried his best to speak in a tone that ordinary people could accept: "Hong Yuyi couldn't get on the bus for some reason, but you are on the bus, which is the key to breaking the deadlock!"

"The child of the woman in the raincoat is on the bus..." Xiao Gu looked at the middle-aged woman. She didn't seem to care about the life or death of the child in her arms. Even though the child had a fever and coughed violently, she only picked up the child symbolically, and there was even a hint of impatience on her face.

"Boss, I think I know who the child the raincoat woman is looking for is."

"Don't make a sound. When the bus is about to arrive, approach the child and take him off the bus with you! If you can fulfill Red Raincoat's wish, she will definitely not hurt you."

"But she is a ghost after all. If I take the child out of the car, will she let me go? After all, she is a ghost, not a human!" After all, it was the first time for Xiao Gu to do such a thing. Just thinking about it made his body start to tremble.

"It was humans who killed them, why do you have such a big prejudice against ghosts?" Chen Ge's voice was still calm: "Do as I say, this is the only way to save you. Remember, don't stay in the car for too long!"

"I understand." Xiao Gu's heart was beating so hard that it was totally out of control. He was getting more and more nervous.

"There is more than one ghost on bus No. 104. Maybe all of them are ghosts except you. You must be decisive when you get off the bus and don't get entangled by them. Also..." Chen Ge paused: "After you get off the bus smoothly, don't give the child to Hong Yuyi immediately. Observe her reaction before making a decision."
