The black raincoat covered the man's body. He was wearing it very thickly and looked a little bloated. After noticing the bus coming towards him, he immediately turned around and ran to another road.
"Why are they chasing me?" There was a hint of panic in the man's eyes. Bus No. 104 had deviated from its route, which had never happened before.
The shabby bus slowly passed through the rain, neither fast nor slow, and drove side by side with the man in the raincoat, as if waiting for him to get on the bus.
Such a weird thing actually happened. The man in the raincoat quickened his pace and turned his head left and right, as if looking for an alley that the bus could not enter.
"It's raining so hard, it's dangerous for a person to walk outside." Chen Ge asked Tang Jun to park the car in front of the man in the raincoat, and then opened the car door.
The man in the raincoat stayed outside the car for a while, but finally got in.
He took off his raincoat, revealing a face that Chen Ge was very familiar with.
Chen Ge had seen this passenger before. It was this person who introduced Chen Ge to the Route 104 hearse when he went to Liwan Town in the eastern suburbs last time.
He was a doctor in the burn department and married a patient who was much younger than him. Later, for various reasons, his wife committed suicide in the bathroom.
From then on, he had been wearing the scarf knitted by his wife, searching for a way to see his wife again in the shadows of this city.
The doctor also saw Chen Ge after getting on the bus. In such a gloomy and terrifying environment, familiar people always bring a sense of security. He walked to Chen Ge without hesitation and sat in the second to last row.
The vehicle started again, and the heavy rain hit the window glass, the sound was distracting.
"You are still alive?"
Chen Ge's way of greeting was quite unique. The doctor was not angry. He gestured to Chen Ge to keep quiet, then lowered his voice and said, "The car is a little different today. Maybe something went wrong."
"What's the difference?" Chen Ge listened carefully, thinking about how to improve it in the future.
"I can't explain it. Anyway, it's very weird." The doctor put the raincoat aside and glanced at the other passengers in the car, ignoring Chen Ge.
"No wonder you ran away when you saw the car pulling into the station." Chen Ge looked indifferent. He stuffed the white cat back into the travel bag. Whenever the white cat encountered danger, it would always become well-behaved and obedient, and very clingy.
After the doctor got on the bus, bus No. 104 turned around and returned to its normal route.
"It's still several stops to Liwan Town. There are quite a lot of tourists who need to take bus No. 104 this late at night." Chen Ge closed his eyes and rested. He didn't care about the drunkard or the red high heels. His main target tonight was the red raincoat.
Driving through the rain, there were lightning, thunder, and heavy rain outside the window, but the inside of the car was stuffy and depressing, and even breathing seemed to have become difficult.
After five or six minutes, bus No. 104 arrived at the next stop.
On the empty platform, there was a pool of blood being washed away by the rain.
No one knew what happened on the platform before the hearse arrived, and the bloodstains were slowly fading in the rain.
"When the red raincoat is stimulated, blood will drip on it. Is this left by her?" Chen Ge was not sure. Perhaps the passengers waiting for the bus were killed.
The car door opened, and as per convention, even if no one got in the car, Tang Jun would stay here for three minutes.
Nothing unusual happened in the first minute, but in the second minute, a figure vaguely appeared on the road in the distance.
He walked in the heavy rain with a neat mushroom-like haircut.
His neck is slightly longer than that of an average person, and his facial features appear similar to those of a normal person, but when put together they look odd.
When the car door was about to close, Mushroom Head got in. He was soaked all over and had a smile on his face.
The corners of his mouth were cracked, revealing his front teeth. Rainwater fell into his mouth, but he didn't care. It seemed that he only had this expression.
"A weirdo who is always laughing?" This was how Chen Ge evaluated the new passenger. He quietly used his Yin pupil and just took a look. His pupil felt like it was pricked by a needle and he felt a sharp pain.
He quickly closed his eyes, and when Chen Ge opened his eyes again, the weirdo who had been laughing the whole time had already sat in the second row of the bus, and he seemed to have deliberately avoided the position where the red high heels were.
"The quality of the passengers tonight is very high!"
Rubbing his eyes, Chen Ge still felt a headache. He didn't know what the weirdo had hidden, but one thing was certain, this guy was definitely not an ordinary person like the doctor.
The car continued to move forward. A few minutes later, the doctor sitting in the second to last row suddenly reached back and handed Chen Ge a cell phone.
Subconsciously taking the phone, Chen Ge saw an unedited text message on it. Since we left Liwan Town last time, the hearse has disappeared. It did not appear again at the agreed time. I just came to try my luck tonight, but I didn't expect the hearse to appear when it shouldn't have. The previous rules were broken. There must be many "passengers" like me coming to check it out. It must be very dangerous tonight. Take care of yourself. There is one more thing I hope you will pay attention to. Be careful of the smiley monster in the second row. It once killed a whole car of people.
Looking at the doctor's text message, Chen Ge noticed one thing: when referring to the smiling passenger, the doctor used the words "monster" and "it".
"He killed a whole car of people. How did the doctor know about this? If he was a passenger in the car, why didn't he die? If he wasn't in the car at the time, who did he hear this from?"
His pupils were still aching, but Chen Ge only used the ability granted by the black phone to glance at the other person.
"This mushroom-headed girl looks cute, but I didn't expect she's such a tough guy."
While Chen Ge was secretly observing the smiling man, the No. 104 hearse arrived at the next stop.
Before entering the station, Chen Ge saw a young man walking on the platform, looking very uneasy.
The car stopped and the door opened. Chen Ge could hear the young man's voice even while sitting in the car.
"It really happened, the midnight bus! The legend is true, it's true!"
His voice was trembling, his face was pale, his lips were an abnormal purple color, and his body was shaking as if he would fall down at any time.
"Are you so timid?" Chen Ge looked at the young man through the car window. He looked to be in his early twenties and should still be in college.
This is just an ordinary student. Chen Ge thinks that he is just like Xiao Gu, being entangled by unclean things and having bad luck, so he ran into the No. 104 hearse.
Chen Ge had no interest in him. He looked at him like a fisherman who found a small fish fry in his fishing net and was about to release it.
The vehicle was parked at the platform and no one was forcing it, but to Chen Ge's surprise, this young man, who looked timid and cowardly, actually rushed in when the vehicle door was about to close.
