"It's the dead of night and I'm out alone. I must bring something to protect myself. Otherwise, what if I encounter danger?" Chen Ge gave his reasons.
"That makes sense." The burn doctor hesitated for a moment and then asked, "You just mentioned that... members of the Ghost Story Association, are they all the same as you?"
"Compared to them, I am more rational."
"Are you one of the more rational ones?" The doctor coughed a few times. His body was already very weak.
"Well, when you have time, you can call me and we can have a good chat then." Chen Ge felt that he and the burn doctor got along well, and the other party seemed to be very interested in him.
The No. 104 bus drove through the heavy rain and soon arrived at the next stop. Chen Ge stood up and looked outside, but did not see the red raincoat.
"Where did she go? Did she run into any trouble? I heard a child crying on the roadside at the last stop. I've heard this sound before at the East Suburb Waterworks. Could it be that the shadow has appeared again?"
When the shadow appeared, Men Nan and Xu Yin appeared at the same time to stop Chen Ge. This shows that ordinary people in red clothes are no match for that thing.
"Will that lady be okay?" After worrying about Hong Yuyi, Chen Ge thought about himself again: "Route 104 hearse connects the eastern and western suburbs, bringing together those desperate people in the city. Hong Yuyi just broke the rules and caused anomalies. If I drive away Route 104 hearse, will the mastermind behind the eastern suburbs show up directly?"
After thinking for a while, Chen Ge felt that this was unlikely: "The real body of the mastermind may be doing something very important, so he used the shadow to lay out the plan. But there is another possibility, that the shadow itself is the mastermind, it has no real body, or its real body is seriously damaged, and everything it is doing now is to repair its real body."
Chen Ge didn't dare to gamble casually, so he decided to drive the hearse away first to test the other party's reaction.
"Even if it is a being above the Red Clothes, I'm afraid it wouldn't dare to come to the Western Suburbs to find me casually, right? At worst, I can just stay in the horror house and wait until Zhang Ya's hand is healed before thinking of a solution."
Chen Ge has always been a very optimistic person. Only with such a character can he stick to his original intention in such a complex environment.
The bus went through a few more stops and finally arrived at the last stop on the route map - Liwan Town.
The station is at the intersection on the west side of the town and is very simple.
The vehicle stopped, and to Chen Ge's surprise, the woman in red raincoat appeared again. However, she looked quite disheveled, as if she had just been through a fierce battle.
The No. 104 hearse stayed at this last stop for three minutes, but no passenger got off the bus.
Three minutes later, the last bus drove into Liwan Town under the watchful eyes of the man in the red raincoat.
The scene in front of him was exactly the same as what Chen Ge had seen in the game. Xiaobu also got on the last bus after breaking free from the red raincoat and entered Liwan Town.
The blurred buildings gradually became clear. The last bus was running on the empty road. The whole town seemed to be uninhabited. No lights could be seen and no sounds could be heard.
"We've passed the station. Where are you going?" Chen Ge walked to the driver's side carrying his backpack.
Now, whenever the driver heard Chen Ge's voice, he would be terrified: "The terminal is in the town, we haven't arrived yet."
He was thinking about driving the car to the station quickly and dropping Chen Ge off.
But the strange thing was that he walked around the town for a long time but couldn't find the bus stop.
"Are you lost?"
Sensing Chen Ge's bad tone, the driver made a bitter face and began to explain: "I really didn't lie to you. There used to be a bus stop at this place, which was the terminal, but today that bus stop suddenly disappeared."
The driver pointed to an empty lot next to the fork in the road and said, "You said I lied to you. What good would that do me? I also want to get you off quickly, but we have a rule that we can only park at stops. Otherwise, something bad will happen."
"There is no bus stop. Are you going to keep wandering around like this?" The doctor from the burn department stood up. He had been silent before because those things had nothing to do with him. Now he couldn't find the bus stop and the bus didn't stop. He had no way to go to the Hades Tower to listen to his wife's voice.
"I want to stop the car more than any of you! But we can't stop without a stop sign. If we stop randomly, something special will come up." The driver turned the car around and said, "The only solution I can think of now is to go back to the previous stop and stop there. If you still want to go to Liwan Town, you can come in by yourselves."
The driver glanced at Chen Ge secretly while he was speaking. He was worried that Chen Ge would come up with a different opinion. As it turned out, his worry was justified.
"Let's stop here." Chen Ge pointed to the open space next to the fork in the road. In the game, the bus that Xiaobu took stopped here.
Everything was consistent with the game, except that there was an empty space where the bus stop sign should have been.
As soon as Chen Ge opened his mouth, the driver didn't even have the desire to struggle, and parked the car obediently in the open space: "We have arrived at the terminal, you guys should get off quickly, I can't stop here for too long."
After that, he looked at Chen Ge politely, his mouth slightly raised, revealing a relieved smile: "I wish you a pleasant journey."
"Thank you very much." Chen Ge held the bag in one hand and looked at the driver: "Since we are here, let's get off together."
"Together?" The driver's smile froze on his face. "My job is to get you there safely. I have to drive the car away later, so I won't be with you."
"Let's leave the car here first, there's no rush." If there weren't any living people in the car, Chen Ge would have taken out the comic book, called out all the employees, and started working right away.
Seeing Chen Ge's firm attitude, the driver had no choice but to sigh inwardly that he was unlucky.
He thought that he just had to endure it for a while and there was no need to anger Chen Ge.
"Okay, I'll go down with you." After saying that, the driver pressed the switch, and the front and rear doors of the last bus on Line 104 opened at the same time.
The moment the car door opened, the four female patients, who were wearing hospital gowns, with their heads down and who had shown no abnormalities along the way, suddenly rushed out of the back door at the fastest speed like crazy.
Chen Ge was standing next to the front driver's seat of the car. By the time he reacted, the four ghostly figures had disappeared from the street and had entered some building nearby.
It would be impossible to catch up with him now, but Chen Ge didn't care too much: "Run, I already know the name of your hospital. The monk can run away but the temple cannot."
He and Xu Yin were guarding the front and back doors respectively. In order to prevent the accident from happening again, Chen Ge asked the mentally handicapped man and the burn doctor to get out of the car first, and then closed the door.
"Don't be nervous. There will be many opportunities for us to meet each other in the future."
