Chapter 202

Eric's calm face showed a kind of enlightenment after seeing through everything: "I should have thought of it when the driver didn't come."

Yu Tu quickly pasted a talisman on the human-shaped water ghost's forehead and sighed, "The talisman is almost not enough..."

After Gu Hongying finished speaking in the group, the three of them took into account the possibility of encountering trouble, and each of them carried some talismans, more or less. However, no one expected that they would encounter trouble as expected, but what they encountered were half a car full of ghosts - all kinds of ghosts!

The moment Gu Hongying rushed over, Hao Zhizhi threw a trap talisman over to him. After a "ripping" sound, a piece of Gu Hongying's collar and the clothes on the back were missing, but he was out of danger.

Gu Hongying walked around the immobilized water ghost, touched his own cold back, and said with a lingering fear: "What kind of ghost is this? Ugh———"

Yu Tu put a silence charm on his face.

"Don't talk now," Yu Tu said, "We are all very scared."

Gu Hongying: “…”

After Gu Hongying calmed down, Eric and Hao Zhizhi both breathed a sigh of relief. When Gu Hongying was about to speak, they both felt a lot of pressure in their hearts.

The water ghost had been restrained by the spell and could not move. Yu Tu stood guard on the side while Eric and Hao Zhizhi worked together to push it back to the seat with the water stains.

The hanged ghost looked at the talismans on the water ghosts with fear, and silently distanced himself from them, but his greedy eyes, as if looking at food, were still locked on them like a poisonous snake. The blood on its tongue was still flowing, and a fishy and unpleasant smell emanated from the car.

In this stagnant and suffocating atmosphere, they heard the sound of bones shifting out of place—the bus driver, who had been silent in the driving seat, turned his head.

His face was highly decayed, looking more terrifying than the zombies in movies and TV shows, with two eyeballs hanging in the empty eye sockets. As he turned his head, one eyeball fell out of the socket and got stuck in the gap between the partition and the ground. The driver slowly bent down to pick it up, but perhaps he couldn't control the strength well, and the rotten eyeball burst in his hand, turning into a sticky liquid that dripped from his gloves.

This scene is too much of a test of one's psychological endurance.

"Welcome... to bus number 444..." The driver's voice sounded like the screams of a ghost in a graveyard at midnight, combined with the sound of an aging magnetic tape. "You pay... what... as fare..."

Having experienced events including but not limited to a fierce ghost climbing through the window to fight in the middle of the night, being grabbed by the hair by a baby ghost while playing on the slide, a zombie jumping out of his face at an auction, and being stared at and called by a gibbon, Yu Tu only felt a little disgusted when watching this scene, and was not too scared.

Yu Tu even had the heart to ask: "What do you usually accept? Ghost money?"

Seeing that someone actually dared to pay attention to him, the driver was so excited that his other eye fell out of its socket, and his malice almost hit him in the face: "Hands, feet, arms, legs... I can pay with them... I can also use your life... I only need ten years..."

"Ten years?" Yu Tu frowned and retorted, "You are indeed a black car."

He quickly raised his hand and used his finger to fiddle with the side of his watch. After a light "click" sound, Yu Tu slowly exhaled: "I called the police."

Of course, they were not the police from the outside world, but the special group stationed in this city.

Perhaps he still had some human emotions from his previous life, for when he heard the alarm, the driver shrank for a moment, but soon he became furious and smashed the partition on the driver's seat with one punch.

The four of them had already run to the only open space in the middle of the No. 44 bus and stood back to back before the driver took any action.

There are many strange events in the surface world, and occasionally there is a small probability event - the strange and ordinary people live in peace. As long as the rules of the strange are not violated, the balance will not be broken. They had considered the possibility of living in peace with the No. 444 bus before, but as soon as the driver finished talking about the fare standards, they knew that they had to fight today.

They could not pay for it, either limbs or life.

Hao Zhizhi: "There are thirteen people in the car, including the driver. Ignore the water ghosts for now. How about three people each?"

The surface world not only suppresses psychics, but also monsters. In the brief fight with the water ghosts just now, they found that the water ghosts only looked scary but were not very strong. The ghosts in this half car were just suitable for them to practice - if Gu Hongying had calmed down at that time, he could have easily dealt with the hanged ghost.

"Okay." Eric raised his eyebrows. "We can't always wait for someone to rescue us. That would be terrible."

The four people quickly selected the ghosts they wanted to deal with according to their attributes, and put what they learned in school this year into actual combat.

Yu Tu had to deal with a person who was torn into pieces (it was estimated that he had jumped to death), a person with a purple face (it was guessed that he had a sudden heart attack), and a black person (who looked like he was burned by fire).

Yu Tu initially tried to summon vines like Ma Jia, but he didn’t know whether that was Ma Jia’s inherent skill or his ability had not kept up. He could not summon vines or branches, but wood represents vitality, and the damage of wood against ghosts is doubled.

The spiritual power in the surface world is meager, and Yu Tu mobilized his limited spiritual power to carefully kill the purple ghost and the black ghost. The shattered ghost was more troublesome because it frightened after realizing that it couldn't beat Yu Tu, and automatically split into large and small pieces that spread all over the bus, which made the sanity value drop significantly and was particularly disgusting.

Yu Tu: “…”

Yu Tu was troubled by his luck in choosing his training targets.

He could only resign himself to avoiding three other fierce battlefields in the messy bus, and clearing out the shattered ghost fragments in the ruins as if everyone was looking for trouble.

Every time Yu Tu cleared a piece of debris, he seemed to hear a reminder sound in his mind:

[Successfully cleared once, progress +1~]

No one knew what the bus was made of. They fought inside it and the walls of the bus were clanging, but the bus was not damaged and continued to move forward slowly along a predetermined route. When they got on the bus, it was still in a very remote location, but now it has arrived in the downtown area. Through the bus window, they could see many people waiting for the bus at the platform. The No. 444 bus stops at every stop, but everyone subconsciously avoids it, even though they can't see it.

When this training battle was almost coming to an end, the No. 444 bus stopped at a new station, and the door opened automatically. A man walked in through the door playing with his mobile phone. He moved his fingers slightly to call up the boarding code, and when he looked up... he was completely confused.

There was no scanning equipment, no coin box, only a broken and bloodstained fender and a messy cockpit. The next second when he was about to scream, he felt something at his feet. He lowered his head and saw a head rolling over, with empty eye sockets, a rotten face, and loose teeth biting his ankle - the unfortunate guy let out a scream like a pig being slaughtered.

Gu Hongying chopped off the bus driver's head with a spike: "???"

He looked up in confusion, only to find that a stranger had appeared in the car at some point.

This stranger who accidentally entered the battlefield screamed and kicked the rotten head that was biting his ankle with his other foot. He looked very miserable and very tough.

Gu Hongying wanted to yell at him to calm down, but found that he had no sound. He took off the silence symbol on his face and said, "Don't move. Be careful not to cause secondary injuries! Come here and I'll take it off for you!"

The young man who screamed like a pig killer only then realized that there were people in the car. He first looked inside the car which looked like a murder scene, then looked at the four people covered in blood. The person who was talking to him was holding a yellow talisman paper with incomprehensible patterns painted on it with cinnabar.

Wei Ziming's eyes suddenly filled with tears. He choked up and said, "I'm just traveling, not doing a horror live broadcast..."

Just after Yu Tu had cleared a piece of debris, he heard a familiar voice. He looked in the direction of the voice and saw a familiar loser—the all-yang Wei Ziming who was being chased and bitten by Xiqu in the Taishan Seal and was covered in blood.

This time I was just bitten by an ordinary demon. It seems my luck is a little better, but not much.

Gu Hongying walked over and used a metal cone to help him pick the ghost head off his ankle. The metallic spiritual power was violently output, crushing the rotten ghost head.

After treating the head, Gu Hongying wondered, "How did you get up here?"

Wei Ziming's face was filled with confusion, grievance, sadness, shock, and other emotions. He said sadly, "I walked up here directly. How else can I get up here..."

Gu Hongying: “…”

It's such an unlucky thing.

Wei Ziming rolled up his trouser legs. The bitten area was already swollen and turned an ominous blue-black color. He sighed and deeply doubted whether he had been unlucky in the past two years. Last year, if it weren't for the help of an expert during the horror live broadcast adventure, his life would have been over. This time, when he went out for a trip to relax, he was playing with his phone without paying attention and got in the car - he was just playing with his phone, it shouldn't be such a crime!

"Someone will take you to treat your wound later." Gu Hongying patted his shoulder and said, "Brother, you are really unlucky."

A minute earlier or a second later would not be so accurate.

"That's right!" Wei Ziming and Gu Hongying complained, "I was almost killed by a monster last year, but luckily I was saved by a mysterious boss. This time I'm just traveling—"

Before he could finish his words, the whole bus suddenly began to shake. At the last moment, it braked suddenly and several people in the bus almost fell down due to inertia. The No. 444 bus stopped.

Gu Hongying: "Why isn't the car moving?"

Yu Tu stood up from the ruins and said quietly, "Maybe it's because we killed all the ghosts in the car..."

He had just cleared the last fragment of the shattered ghost one second ago, and the car stopped the next second. He didn't believe that there was no connection between the two.

Eric: "So ghosts are most likely the power source of bus No. 444?"

Hao Zhizhi: "Let's not talk about the condition of this car, who has an A3 driver's license?"

The other three shook their heads in unison.

Wai Tzu-ming, who was grinning at the side, said weakly: "I don't have an A3 driver's license, but I can drive. I learned it when I was live-streaming before."

"Driving without a license..." Gu Hongying pondered for less than a second, then happily pushed Wei Ziming to the driver's seat, "It's okay, it's difficult for ordinary people to get in this car, and no one can see it anyway, so just drive, and I'll show you the way."

Yu Tu has already sent the location of the special team stationed here to the small group.

Wei Ziming accepted the order in a critical moment. He climbed over the broken guardrail, shook off the wreckage on the driver's seat with difficulty, and then sat down. Looking at the broken meat and dark stains in the gap, he could only try his best not to recall what had happened in this position.

Wei Ziming started the vehicle carefully, and the No. 444 bus swayed forward. Wei Ziming had a vague illusion that the reason he got on this bus was to drive it.

What is this?

Is he the chosen worker?
