She put on her coat, quietly went out the door, trying not to make a sound so as not to disturb others.
The streets were deserted, save for the occasional sound of the night wind and the distant barking of dogs.
They walked along the path toward the town where the legendary ghost school bus was said to have appeared.
After walking for about ten minutes, they came to a crossroads.
This is the heart of the town, usually bustling during the day, but now it's unusually quiet.
Yan Ning and Xiao Shi hid in a corner at the intersection, waiting for the ghost school bus to appear.

The little girl walked to the school bus door, looked up at the bus with empty eyes, and then stepped onto the bus without hesitation.
