The inside of the bus became colder and more depressing. It felt like something was standing next to Chen Ge, but he could not see it clearly.
The middle-aged woman slowly took her hands out from her pocket, and her body was shaking.
Without waiting for Chen Ge to say anything, she voluntarily placed the boy on the seat outside.
Chen Ge picked up the boy from the seat. There was warmth, and he could feel the beating of the boy's heart. The boy was a living person.
Why would the middle-aged woman bring the boy to Eastern Jiujiang? Did they think the boy would be more likely to become a door-pusher?
Chen Ge had seen many tragedies in Eastern Jiujiang, and the main characters of these tragedies were all children. Chen Ge had no idea why this was happening.
At the backdoor of the bus, Chen Ge did not get off and did not hand the boy over to the woman in the red raincoat.
He once heard from Fan Cong that when he played the game, there was an ending where Xiao Bu was taken away by the woman in the red raincoat.
The woman in the red raincoat should not be Xiao Bu's mother, but in the end, she still took Xiao Bu away. She probably treated Xiao Bu as a replacement for her own child.
Chen Ge did not know whether this ending was good or bad. Compared to death, it was a better ending, but it was not fair to Xiao Bu.
The situation that he was facing was similar to the situation in the game. The boy was unconscious inside the bus, and no one knew whether he was the woman's child or not.
If he handed him to the woman in the red raincoat, she probably would not reject him. In fact, she might even use the boy as a replacement.
Holding the boy's face, Chen Ge turned to the woman in the rain and asked, "Is he your child?"
The woman's gaze softened. She did not answer Chen Ge's question but took one step forward.
"Looks like he is not." Chen Ge kept his eyes on the woman in the red raincoat. A mother who had been waiting at the bus stop in the pouring rain would not be so calm after seeing her lost child.
Chen Ge took a step back and placed the child on the seat beside him.
The woman in the red raincoat saw Chen Ge place the child to the side, and a low voice came from her sewn mouth. The gentleness in her eyes instantly disappeared, and blood vessels poured out from the bottom of her eyes. They were so dense that it was scary.
"I only promised to help you find your child. I didn't say I would give you someone else's child." If this was one month ago, Chen Ge would not have dared to speak to a Red Specter like that.
However, things were different now. He was standing on the hearse, and Xu Yin was beside him. Although Zhang Ya was injured, she was not in a deep sleep and could be woken up at any time. This was the source of his confidence.
"You look a little unhappy?" Chen Ge leaned on the hammer and studied the woman in the raincoat. "I'm curious. You knew your child might be in this car, so why didn't you come up to take a look? What are you afraid of? "
His sewn mouth was unable to make any sound. When his lips moved, the red blood vessels on them began to twist.
The woman in the red raincoat was agitated, and one could see her pain and anger.
"You've been waiting at the bus stop, looking for your child. Did you get separated at the bus stop? You're injured, and after you lost your child, what happened to you while you were looking for him? "
Chen Ge's words caused the woman in the red raincoat to be reminded of the past. Painful memories flashed in her mind. The rain fell on her body, and when it landed on the ground, it had already turned into blood.
In the rainy night, the woman stood alone at the bus stop, and the blood under her feet slowly spread.
Green veins popped on her pale face. The woman lifted her face. She wanted to open her mouth, and the blood vessels that sealed her lips slowly opened.
Her face was twisted, and she walked toward Chen Ge.
Standing at the door, Chen Ge stood before the boy and looked at the woman in the red raincoat quietly. "You're afraid. I can see the fear in your heart. It's not that you don't want to get on this bus, but you don't dare. You're worried about the real owner of this bus, aren't you?"
A living person so calmly expressed the fear in the Red Specter's heart. For the other passengers, this was a very scary thing.
In the end, the woman in the red raincoat stopped at the door. She knew that the car belonged to someone. Stepping onto the car was taboo for that person.
"Your child disappeared on this bus, but due to some kind of taboo, you don't even have the courage to step on this bus. How are you going to find your child like that?" With all the passengers watching, Chen Ge reached out his hand toward the woman in the red raincoat. "Get on the bus, we'll look for him together."
The blood that slid down the raincoat soaked the bus stop. The woman in the red raincoat stopped at the door of the bus, and her expression was conflicted.
She was a Red Specter from Eastern Jiujiang. Getting on the bus meant breaking a promise with the other ghosts, and she was going to stand against them.
Chen Ge could see the anxiety and pain in the woman's eyes. He took one step forward and placed his hand lightly on the woman's shoulder.
The rain soaked his clothes, but he did not seem to notice it. He looked straight into the woman's eyes. "Don't hesitate anymore. I believe that when your child wakes up from his nightmare, he will also hope that the first person he sees when he opens his eyes is you."
The driver kept looking at the backdoor through the rear-view mirror. When he saw Chen Ge and the Red Specter outside the bus stop, his heart raced.
His foot was already on the gas pedal. Once they started fighting, once Chen Ge left the bus, he would immediately run away from this place. However, things did not go as he expected.
The woman in the red raincoat, who was about to lose control, slowly calmed down. She raised her hand and reached into the bus. This was something that had never happened before.
The woman in the red raincoat had been guarding the bus door, and she had not even touched the bus before.
"There's going to be another one?"
The driver's Adam's apple trembled. He felt like the lives of everyone on the bus were in his hands, and the pressure was immense.
With Chen Ge's persuasion, the woman in the red raincoat finally made her decision. However, just as her hand reached into the bus, the sound of children crying came from both sides of the road.
Hearing this, the woman in the red raincoat seemed to be reminded of something extremely scary. She immediately pulled back her hand, and her bloodshot eyes looked at Chen Ge. After a few seconds, she turned and left the bus stop.
"What happened?"
The door closed, and the bus moved forward. Chen Ge looked at the empty bus stop and was confused.
He walked to the driver's side with the hammer. Before he could say anything, the driver quickly explained, "I don't know anything. I'm just a night driver, really!"
Since the driver had already said that, Chen Ge did not press for more information. He put the hammer back into his backpack, hugged the boy, and sat down next to the doctor.
"It's not like I've gained nothing. At least I've gotten closer to the woman in red raincoat." Chen Ge turned around and saw the doctor staring blankly at his backpack like he was still recovering from the incident that had just happened.
