The bus stopped reluctantly.
After the two got on the bus, they were stunned to see that the carriage was packed with people.
The last bus at twelve o'clock is usually deserted, but this bus was full of people. There were no empty seats, and some people even stood on the bus holding the handrails.
The long-haired woman and Xu Xiaoyu searched the front of the car but couldn't find a card machine. There was only something similar to a coin box standing in front.
The people on the bus were strange, there were men, women, young and old, people of all ages. Xu Xiaoyu and the long-haired woman even saw a young man holding a baby.
It's so late, and with this combination, could it be a human trafficker...
They secretly complained in their hearts, but they became inexplicably nervous.
The passengers on the bus seemed to have nothing to do. Since the two of them got on the bus, they had been staring at them with expressionless faces and focused looks.
That feeling...
It was like the quiet moment before the explosion after two big men broke into the women's bathhouse.
"Uh...Excuse me, why is there no card machine? Do you only accept coins?"
The long-haired woman asked with a hint of embarrassment, vaguely feeling that something was wrong.
The slightly plump middle-aged driver looked straight ahead at the road, like a statue.
He was the only one in the car who was not staring at the two men.
As for the other one, it was a woman who was standing holding the handrail. She was wearing a white shirt and a black skirt. Her long black hair reached her waist and hung straight down, covering her face which was facing the two men sideways.
She raised her head slightly, still seemingly facing sideways towards the two of them, and moved her arms.
He stretched out his arm, paused for half a second in front of the seat in front of him, and then pointed his index finger suddenly at Xu Xiaoyu and the long-haired woman.
"Okay, I understand." The silver-haired old lady with a cane sitting in the seat in front of her nodded at her respectfully and spoke with her mouth without braces.
"Hey..." The old lady stood up with difficulty, leaning on her crutches and holding the handrail.
She was short and had a slightly hunched back. She wore a clean dark red jacket with floral patterns. Her silver hair was combed back carefully and tied into a bun with a rubber band. She seemed to have makeup on her face, not heavy, just a little powder to slightly cover the age spots. Her lips were lightly red, covering up her crimson lips.
The old lady stood up and looked at the two people standing at the front of the car.
"Little girls, you can't ride in this car."
"Why?"
The long-haired woman asked casually, and the few coins she had just taken out fell into the coin box with a "crackling" sound.
"Uh..." The old lady was speechless as she looked at the coins that fell into the "coin box".
"Never mind, it's nothing. Blame me for being slow-talking." The old lady said these words of self-blame softly, but the corners of her dry mouth with light red lipstick on could not help but curl up.
Once you pay the fare on the bus, you will be tied to the bus and cannot get off until you are taken to your destination.
"Fortunately, your time has come tonight. Whether you get on this car or not, you can't escape..."
She spoke slowly, walking step by step with a cane, looking very old.
Only those who are dead or dying can see this car directly.
The long-haired woman could see the bus directly. Xu Xiaoyu couldn't see it at first, but because of her influence, he was able to see it in the end.
Xu Xiaoyu frowned, pulled the corner of the long-haired woman's clothes, leaned close to her ear and whispered:
"...Chen Manyin, let's take a taxi instead of taking the bus. What this old lady said is so strange, and the people on this bus are also..."
"Walk!"
Chen Manyin also felt something was wrong. The old lady looked at her in a very strange way, as if she was entangled by some slippery mollusk, making her feel uncomfortable all over.
He reached out and grabbed Xu Xiaoyu, then turned around and ran away with her.
They stood at the front of the bus with the front door wide open. They could leave the bus in just two steps.
However--
“Bang!”
The car door closed quickly in front of the two of them, blocking them in the car.
"Hey, hey, little girl, stay and go with us."
The old lady smiled while leaning on her cane, her cloudy eyes narrowed and her toothless mouth opened wide, revealing a dark hole.
She leaned on a crutch, took unsteady and trembling steps, stretched out her skinny hand covered with age spots, and grabbed Chen Manyin.
"ah!"
The two girls held hands, pressed their backs against the front door glass, avoided the old lady's outstretched hand, huddled together and screamed.
Although they felt something was wrong at first, they were not scared. A big part of the reason was that the bus had not started yet and the doors were open, so they only needed to take two steps to jump off the bus.
Moreover, it is well known that bus doors are slow to close because they are always easy to pinch people. Who would have thought that this door could not only close easily, but also close so quickly? The two people who realized that they were in trouble and could not escape easily became panic-stricken.
"Oh... don't hide, little girl. We are all on this journey together. Don't be afraid. I am freezing cold. While you are still warm, please warm me up. Do you mind?"
The old lady smiled, and every word she spoke from her teethless lips sounded like fat worms wriggling and crawling out of her dark mouth.
The rest of the people in the car just watched silently, just like when they first got on the car, like a bunch of dummies placed in the car.
No joy, no anger, no sadness, and no speaking.
The two girls huddled together, shaking with fear.
Chen Manyin suddenly took off her shoulder bag, raised it and slapped the old lady's outstretched hand.
The old lady, who seemed fragile and could barely walk steadily, stretched out her hands to withstand Chen Manyin's beating steadily. She only trembled slightly and still grabbed Chen Manyin.
Caught it.
Feeling the piercing cold, he held Chen Manyin's arm tightly in his hand, feeling her delicate, soft and warm skin, and the blood flowing beneath her skin.
However, Chen Manyin only felt that her wrist was frozen for a moment, as if she had exposed the skin of her wrist and stayed motionless outdoors for half an hour in the snowy weather in the north, letting the cold seep into her bones little by little.
"Let go, old woman!"
Xu Xiaoyu held a fountain pen in his hand with the cap open, and stabbed the tip of the pen hard at the old lady's hand that was holding Chen Manyin's wrist.
puff--
The tip of the pen instantly sank into the old lady's arm.
This easy penetration made Xu Xiaoyu's hands tremble with fear. Could she have really hurt an old man? Could it be that the other party was not an unknown creature? Maybe he just had Alzheimer's disease and said some strange words...
In the nervousness, the tip of the pen was accidentally pulled out.
Seeing that no blood was flowing out of the tip of the pen or the old lady's wound, Xu Xiaoyu was strangely relieved.
The old lady glanced at Xu Xiaoyu unkindly with her eyes, which were mostly covered by her drooping eyelids, and stretched out her other hand to grab her.
“Buzz…”
Someone suddenly slapped the handrail of the bus with such force that it made a buzzing sound.
The sound was very obvious in the quiet bus.
The passengers all looked sideways, and the old lady was no exception.
The one who clapped the handrail was the woman in a white shirt, black skirt and waist-length hair.
She was still standing sideways at this time, with her long hair hanging down, completely covering her face.
This time the pale finger pointed to Xu Xiaoyu's position.
The old lady paused, her cloudy eyes turned, and she squinted at Xu Xiaoyu and said, "This little girl, stay and go with us, so you two can have a companion on the road..."
As soon as the words fell, in the blink of an eye, the woman's arm appeared in front of the old lady from a few meters away, and her pale hand grabbed her neck and lifted it up.
The two girls couldn't help but scream.
The reason they screamed was not because the old lady was being strangled, but because the woman was still standing there, facing them sideways, but her arms had become several meters long...
The scene before them greatly challenged their three perspectives. It was not until this moment that they were truly certain that they had encountered an incredible "thing".
"hehe……"
The old lady’s skinny hands grabbed the long pale arms that were pinching her neck. She rolled her eyes, stuck out her tongue, and made difficult sounds from her throat. Her two thin legs kicked weakly in the air.
She had clearly died once, but now she was experiencing such a real suffocation. Could it be that ghosts could experience death again? She couldn't help but feel scared, and quickly admitted her mistake to the woman and begged for mercy.
Bang!
The pale arm swung and threw the old lady aside. Her body hit the bus window and slowly slid down the glass. She patted her chest and gasped as if she had survived the disaster.
The pale arm extended its index finger and pointed at Xu Xiaoyu.
