Chapter 203

Wei Ziming was driving without a license. After stumbling across the road, he finally arrived at the Yanshan City Police Station. He was then taken away for treatment by someone waiting for him. The person who treated him was a beautiful and kind girl, but she had a frown on her face and looked like she had encountered some big problems.

Wei Ziming looked at her expression and his heart skipped a beat: "Is my injury incurable?"

The girl turned around and saw that Wei Ziming was frightened. She shook her head quickly and said, "You have been attacked by evil spirits. After clearing the evil spirits, take anti-inflammatory medicine on time and go back to get more sun."

"I'm not confused about your injury," the girl explained, "I just think it's a little weird that you accidentally got on the No. 444 bus and got bit by a seriously injured ghost."

Wei Ziming: “…Ah?”

"Do you know that you have a completely yang body?" the girl said. "In theory, people with a completely yang body have a certain restraining effect on the two evil beings of the yin type, ghosts and monsters. The one that bit you was the severed head of a corpse ghost. If it wanted to replenish its strength to escape, the last person it should bite would be you. If it bites you to suck your blood when it is seriously injured, it is tantamount to accelerating its suicide."

The girl said, "So I thought about it and there are only two possibilities. One is that the ghost didn't want to live anymore and bit you just to die quickly. The other is that you happened to be next to the ghost at that time, and it was impossible to tell whether the ghost was alive or dead, so it attacked you."

The former sounds quite unlucky, and the latter sounds even more unlucky.

Wei Ziming shed two big tears in his heart, and he was seriously considering the possibility of going to the temple to worship.

People can't always be unlucky, and it can't be so unlucky...

This sad mood continued until he had treated his wounds, changed into clean and fresh clothes, and sat in the consultation room.

There was a middle-aged man sitting in the inquiry room. He looked very serious, with the wrinkles between his brows forming the Chinese character "川". He was looking at the documents in his hand. After Wei Ziming came over, he made a gesture of "please sit down".

Seeing that Wei Ziming was a little nervous, the serious-looking middle-aged man tried his best to soften his expression. He introduced himself: "I am Nangong Yan, the head of the Yanshan City Alien Affairs Bureau branch."

"Hello." Wei Ziming said tremblingly, "I am Wei Ziming."

"Young man, don't be so nervous." Nangong Yan said, "You and our inner world have a strong connection. This is the second time."

"Cheng Li submitted your physical examination report to me, and there is nothing wrong with it." He said, "Don't let the wound get wet when you go back. Go out in the sun for two hours every day at noon. You have a fully positive body, so it will heal in ten days or so."

After confirming that he was fine, the next step was to sign a series of follow-up documents such as compensation and confidentiality agreements. Wei Ziming did not need much explanation from Nangong Yan, as he was so skilled at using the special ink pad to leave fingerprints that it was heartbreaking.

After a series of procedures were completed, Wei Ziming said, "Can I ask you a question?"

Nangong Yan: "As long as it doesn't involve any confidential information that cannot be answered, it's fine."

"Isn't it said that a fully yang body can ward off evil spirits?" Wei Ziming looked sad and said in an angry tone, "Why did I encounter it twice in one year?"

Nangong Yan had read the relevant information about Wei Ziming. He was chased by the Fallen Rhino but luckily survived. His body was covered with wounds, but thanks to the help of the senior, Buyehou, he healed very quickly without any scars or sequelae.

This time I accidentally boarded the No. 444 bus and happened to see students from Miller College killing ghosts. I didn't pay a heavy price like the people who accidentally boarded the No. 444 bus before.

If you say he is lucky, he has encountered things that many people will never encounter in their lifetime. If you say he is unlucky, there is always someone who can save him every time he is in life-and-death crisis.

Nangong Yan was silent for a while, then replied tactfully: "This has little to do with physical constitution."

Wei Ziming understood the implicit meaning—it has nothing to do with physical constitution, it depends purely on personal luck.

Wei Ziming: “…”

He understood that he was not the chosen worker, but the chosen unlucky one.

Wei Ziming forced a smile and said goodbye to Nangong Yan. He pushed open the door of the inquiry room and saw a few familiar-looking people standing outside. They seemed to be the "experts" who had shown their might in the car before. Before, they were all covered in dust and looked like they had crawled out of a horror movie. No one cared about their appearance. Now, after washing himself, Wei Ziming realized that these experts looked younger than him.

Wei Ziming recognized Gu Hongying, who had helped him pry open the skull of the corpse, by his voice. He held his hand and said with tears in his eyes, "Boss, thank you for saving me before!"

"I'm not some big shot. I'm still in school." Gu Hongying was a little embarrassed by Wei Ziming's enthusiasm. He touched the back of his head with his other hand and asked, "Have you finished with this?"

"It's settled. The compensation agreement, confidentiality agreement, and so on have all been signed." Wei Ziming nodded and said jokingly, "I'm a poor guy, and I'm already familiar with these procedures."

When two unlucky people meet, Gu Hongying feels strangely friendly. He shows a brilliant smile and pats Wei Ziming on the shoulder: "Don't be so depressed, my friend. People won't always be so unlucky!"

Behind him, Yu Tu whispered, "It's over. I only brought a silence talisman."

Hao Zhizhi glanced at Gu Hongying and Wei Ziming and said uncertainly, "His poisonous words should be directed at us, not at others, right? Look, the flags he set up in the car didn't work."

Eric: "There is still a difference between Crow Mouth and Word Spirit."

Although their voices were low, Gu Hongying still heard them. He turned around and glared at them, performing an act of "Golden Retriever is Angry.JPG" on the spot.

The three of them looked up and down but refused to meet Gu Hongying's eyes. After Wei Ziming left, Gu Hongying forced his three friends to look at him. Then he angrily made a gesture of wiping his neck, looking murderous.

Eric's comment: "Childish."

Gu Hongying grabbed Eric's hair, which he had carefully styled after washing, with lightning speed.

Eric: "Gu! Hong! Ying!"

Seeing that the "war" was about to break out, the door of the interrogation room opened, revealing Nangong Yan's serious face, and the "war" disappeared in an instant - they still had to maintain their image to the outside world, even though there was not much image left.

They had also made reports during the Spider's Nest incident before, and like Wei Ziming, they were familiar with the process. Without Nangong Yan saying much, they knew what information they needed to fill out.

Four people in the inquiry room each had a pen and were writing hard. Because Gu Hongying had cut off the most critical driver corpse of bus No. 444, his report was longer than anyone else's. Yu Tu and the others had stopped writing, but Gu Hongying still had a little more to write.

The three people who finished writing first have already started chatting with Nangong Yan. Although Nangong Yan has a serious and old-fashioned face, his personality is quite different from his appearance. From him, Yu Tu and others also learned the reason why the strange incident of bus No. 444 has not been solved—this bus is too tricky.

Previously, the police station in the superficial world received reports from people. Some of the reporters were missing hands, some were missing arms, and some woke up in the emergency room. All the reporters claimed that they got on a strange bus and the driver took their limbs or lives as reward. But when the reporters were asked to describe the specific details, they said they couldn't remember. The only thing they remembered was that when they were asked to pay, a voice in their heads told them "This is bus No. 444."

When the first incident occurred, the police department thought it was a mental patient talking nonsense, but the second and third incidents happened immediately after, which made them quickly realize that something was wrong, and they reported it to the Yanshan City Illegal Affairs Bureau's resident branch.

After reading the case records of all the informants, Group 27 went to visit them. Most of the informants whose lives were taken had suffered a serious illness that seriously affected their health, while the people whose limbs were taken as reward had red broken arms and legs, but not a drop of blood came out.

After careful consideration, the twenty-seven groups determined that bus No. 444 is a hearse full of ghosts. It will roam around the bus stops in Yanshan City on a daily basis. People who meet the requirements will board this bus, but no one knows what the specific conditions are. The only thing that is certain is that it will be easier for people with less luck to board the bus.

The twenty-seven groups also tried to stick bad luck charms on themselves to meet the only known condition for getting on the bus, but they only succeeded once. After killing most of the ghosts on the bus, they didn't know what mechanism was triggered and the people on board were kicked off the No. 444 bus. After that, they never got on the bus again.

The frequency of crimes committed on bus No. 444 dropped significantly after this murder, but there are still sporadic reports of victims every once in a while. Most of the victims boarded the bus late at night. Because of bus No. 444, Yanshan City has the legend of the midnight bus.

Although this car accident caused a lot of casualties, it is not considered a highly dangerous supernatural event, because most ordinary people would die if faced with a supernatural event, and there is almost no chance of survival.

This bus seemed to be scared by the 27 fishing law enforcement teams and rarely appeared in the prosperous urban area. It often wandered around remote bus stops. Nangong Yan and his team were still making plans to try to board the bus a second time to completely solve the problem of No. 444 bus, but while they were still planning, Yu Tu reported the case to the police. Wei Ziming also drove the subject of the strange incident back directly and solved it neatly.

"Fortunately, we got on the bus!" Gu Hongying was doing two things at once, writing a report while listening to Nangong Yan's speech. After listening to the whole thing, he was thankful, "If we didn't get on the bus, this bus would have killed more people in the future."

Gu Hongying spoke from the bottom of his heart when he said this. He was very thankful that he had accidentally boarded the No. 444 bus because of his unlucky side - they just happened to be able to solve the source of the harm, which was simply the best thing.

"Yes." Nangong Yan smiled, "Thank you very much."

They can certainly solve this anomaly after completing their plan, but the longer they wait, the more likely it is that new victims will appear.

It is impossible for Group 27 to nip all the strange events in the bud in the bud before they happen. They can only move faster and faster as much as possible to prevent anyone in the city they are protecting from getting into danger.

"Would you consider working in Yanshan City after graduation?" Nangong Yan invited them. "The benefits of our Yanshan City garrison branch are quite generous, and it ranks among the top eight in the country."

There are few children with spiritual powers, and even fewer who can graduate successfully after entering school. The main manpower during the graduation season every year comes from Millerkel, so whether it is the headquarters in Beijing or the branches in various places, they can't help but invite outstanding talents in advance. There is a shortage of people everywhere, so Sanqing dared to promise job placement for graduates - because there are simply not enough graduates.

For example, the Yanshan City branch where Nangong Yan works has had five new recruits in three years. Except for two who stayed, the other three entered the top ten groups after training and followed their predecessors to solve high-risk strange incidents all over the country.

Nangong Yan also graduated from Millerkel, and it has been nearly ten years since he graduated. During these ten years, his ability and vision have been steadily improving. He knows clearly that the four children in front of him should be the top ones in this class. Even if the No. 444 bus has been weakened once, it is still not something that students who have just finished their freshman year can handle.

He knew clearly that after the training, these four children would definitely go to the top ten groups to take on those high-risk and strange tasks, and then travel around the country, but this did not prevent him from wanting to finalize the training locations for these children in advance.

At this rate of growth, as long as they can graduate successfully and come to Yanshan City, the strange incidents in Yanshan City should be resolved more efficiently and the safety of citizens will be better guaranteed.

Nangong Yan felt no guilt for trying to snatch people from the city he was protecting. He generously extended an early job invitation:

"As long as the juniors are willing to work in Yanshan City after graduation, we can directly convert them to full-time employees on the day of employment, with all six insurances and two housing funds paid, food and accommodation included, a five-digit salary, and subsidies for field work. Any other requirements can be discussed."

Gu Hongying, Yu Tu, Hao Zhizhi: "!!!"

Strange, it makes me feel excited!

Eric calmed down a little. He ignored the three fingers poking his back quietly and said, "Thank you for your invitation. We will consider it."

In order to calm down his excited friends, Eric quietly turned on his watch and edited and sent a message in their small group:

[Don’t think about this anymore, think about Teacher Olivia, dear friends, we let him go (smile).]
