Listening to what Chen Ge said on the phone, Xiao Gu was dazed.
Why is my boss so familiar with ghosts? Not only is he not afraid, he even taught me step by step how to gain the favor of ghosts, and his every word was laced with knowledge and wisdom.
He was curious, but that was all. He would never believe that Chen Ge was out to harm him. For him, Chen Ge was a very special existence.
This boss who looked so unreliable had saved him from the brink of death twice.
The first time was when he was drugged by a woman with schizophrenia, and he was almost dismembered. At the time, it was Chen Ge who stepped in and kicked the woman away.
The second time was at Fang Hwa Apartments. He entered the third building by mistake, and a faceless white shadow followed behind him. He fainted, and when he woke up, the police said it was Chen Ge who saved him.
"This is the third time."
Xiao Gu shoved the phone into his pocket. He felt like his life was very dangerous, and only by following Chen Ge would he be able to live a safe and secure life.
The call did not end. Xiao Gu leaned against the window with the earphones on, memorizing every word that Chen Ge said.
The rain became heavier, and it was dark outside the window. Xiao Gu could not see the road at all. He could only count the time silently to confirm the boy's location and prepare to get off the bus at any moment.
Five minutes later, the car started to slow down. Xiao Gu's calf muscles tensed, and he said in a very low voice, "We're almost at the stop."
"After the door opens, do not hesitate. Do not give the middle-aged woman the chance to react." Chen Ge's voice came from the earphones.
"Okay."
Through the window, they could see the outline of the bus stop, and the red shadow was still guarding the bus stop.
The bus stop in the countryside did not have a raincoat, and the woman stood in the rain in a red raincoat. She stood alone in the rain, and she was very eye-catching.
The car slowed down, and when they were about to enter the station, the phone suddenly rang.
Huang Ling, who sat at the front, had just turned on her phone when her husband called. Perhaps because she had calmed down, she did not hang up but pressed the button to answer.
"Huang Ling! Get off the bus! Get out! "
A man's hoarse scream came from the phone. Huang Ling didn't listen to it at all and directly hung up. To be honest, she was also quite frightened.
"What's wrong?"
As soon as she hung up, her phone rang again. It was still her husband calling.
Huang Ling lowered the volume to the lowest. She looked around apologetically and realized that all the passengers were looking at her.
The faces all wore strange expressions as they stared at her with faint smiles on their faces, making her hair stand on end.
"I'm sorry …" The phone in Huang Ling's palm kept vibrating and emitting a buzzing sound.
"Why didn't you pick up the phone?" The old lady sitting behind the driver spoke for the first time. Her face was covered with wrinkles, and her eyes were covered by a thin layer of white film. When Xiao Gu first got into the car, the old lady did not look like this. He had no idea when she started to change.
The old lady's appearance was rather scary. Huang Ling held the phone and could not understand the old lady, so she kept apologizing.
"I think it's better for you to answer his call. The more you refuse to answer, the more worried he will be." The man in the white coat chuckled. His eyes wandered between Huang Ling and Xiao Gu. The red line on his wrist had disappeared, and in its place was a series of reddish-brown wounds.
Huang Ling ignored the doctor. The child behind her started to cough violently again. The middle-aged woman's patience was slowly wearing thin. Her already ugly face started to twist, and her facial features became crooked. She glared at the child next to her, and her eyes were very scary.
The atmosphere inside the bus tensed, and at that moment, a cold and synthesized voice came from the front of the bus.
"Ding! We have arrived at Eastern Jiujiang Fresh Water Plant. Passengers, please bring your personal belongings and alight from the backdoor. "
The bus finally pulled into the stop. After it stopped, the doors slowly opened.
When the bus stopped, Xiao Gu stood up. He brushed past the body of the passenger next to him and walked out from the seat.
Following what Chen Ge had taught him on the phone, he walked toward the middle-aged woman.
The door opened, and Xiao Gu walked to the middle-aged woman's side. "I need to retrieve something. Can you give me your jacket first?"
Earlier, when the child was coughing, Xiao Gu had lent out his own jacket.
The middle-aged woman had a bad temper. She raised her head to look at Xiao Gu. She hugged the child with one arm and reached for the jacket with the other.
Xiao Gu's Adam's apple trembled, and he slowly raised his hands.
At the same time, Huang Ling's phone started to vibrate again. Her husband seemed to have lost his mind, calling her again and again like there was something really important.
The jacket was slowly pulled away. The middle-aged woman held the child with one hand and shoved the jacket at Xiao Gu with the other.
Everything was going according to plan. Xiao Gu's heart was in his throat. He looked at the jacket that was getting closer and closer, and his eyes were glued to the middle-aged woman's other hand.
His front and back legs staggered. Xiao Gu's body leaned forward, and his arm was raised.
Time seemed to slow down. Just as Xiao Gu's fingers were about to touch the jacket, Huang Ling answered the call again.
"We'll talk about it at home. Don't …"
"Get off the bus! The bus that you're on is filled with ghosts! They're all ghosts! "
The voice on the phone could be heard clearly by all the passengers on the bus. It was too late for Huang Ling to hang up.
"Ghosts?" She did not expect her husband to say something like that to her. When she turned back to look, all the expressionless faces were staring at her.
The bus shuddered, and the driver's face was filled with fear. He appeared to have seen his own death. His eyes stared at the road ahead, and sweat kept dripping down his face.
The middle-aged woman hugging the child had her face twisted even more, and her body swelled like it was going to explode.
"Urgh!"
The passenger who sat next to Xiao Gu suddenly started to vomit. His whole body was soaked, and his fingers dug at his throat. Clumps of hair that looked like seaweed crawled out from his mouth.
"How could we be ghosts? Aren't we alive and well? " The old lady who sat next to them also turned to look. Her thick eyelids covered her eyes, and it was impossible to tell the pupils and sclera of her eyes.
All the passengers changed. On the other end of the phone, Chen Ge heard this as well. He ordered Xiao Gu to leave immediately.
"Go!"
Xiao Gu's hands that reached for the jacket suddenly accelerated. They reached for the child through the jacket, but when his hands touched the child's body, he realized that the child's body was cold, and there was no sign of life.
"This …" In that split second, the middle-aged woman sensed Xiao Gu's intention.
"You want to take my child?" The woman's chubby hands reached for Xiao Gu, and her face was ugly to the extreme.
