"It's the middle of the night, and I'm out alone, so of course I need to bring something to protect myself. What if I run into danger?" Chen Ge gave his own reason.
"You have a point." The doctor hesitated before asking, "You mentioned earlier … are the members of the Society of Strange Tales like you?"
"Compared to them, I'm more rational."
"You're one of the more rational ones?" The doctor coughed. His body was very weak.
"Yes, when you're free, you can call me. We can have a good chat then." Chen Ge felt like he got along quite well with this burn doctor, and the man seemed to be quite interested in him as well.
The bus traveled through the rain and soon reached the next stop. Chen Ge stood up to look outside, but he did not see the woman in the red raincoat.
"Where has she gone? Has she run into some kind of trouble? There was the sound of children crying at the previous stop. I've heard this at Eastern Jiujiang's fresh water plant before. Has the shadow appeared again? "
When the shadow appeared, Meng Nan and Xu Yin had appeared at the same time to stop Chen Ge. This showed that a normal Red Specter was no match for the thing.
"She'll be fine, right?" After worrying about the woman in the red raincoat, Chen Ge thought about himself. "The bus connects Eastern Jiujiang and Western Jiujiang. It gathers the despairing people in the city. The woman in the red raincoat merely broke the rules, and something strange happened. If I drive the bus away, will the culprit in Eastern Jiujiang show up immediately? "
After giving it some thought, Chen Ge did not think that was possible. "The culprit's real body is probably doing something very important, and that's why he used the shadow to set this up. But there's another possibility. The shadow itself is the culprit, and it doesn't have a real body. Or rather, its real body is heavily damaged, and everything it's doing now is to repair its real body. "
Chen Ge did not dare take the risk. He decided to drive the bus away to test the other party's reaction.
"Even if it's a Greater Red Specter, it wouldn't dare come to Western Jiujiang to find me, right? At most, we'll just stay in the Haunted House and wait for Zhang Ya's hand to recover before we come up with a plan. "
Chen Ge had always been a very optimistic person. Only with such a personality could he stay true to himself in such a complicated environment.
The bus passed a few more stops before finally arriving at the last stop on the map — Li Wan City.
The bus stop was located at the west side of the town. It was very simple.
The car came to a stop, and to Chen Ge's surprise, the woman in the red raincoat appeared again. However, she looked quite disheveled, as if she had just been through a fierce battle.
The bus stopped at this last stop for 3 minutes, but not a single passenger got off.
Three minutes later, under the scrutiny of the woman in the red raincoat, the last bus entered Li Wan City.
This scene was similar to what Chen Ge had seen in the game. Xiao Bu also got on the last bus after escaping from the woman in the red raincoat, and then he entered Li Wan City.
The blurry buildings slowly became clearer. The last bus drove on the empty road, and the whole town appeared to be uninhabited. There was no light or sound.
"We've passed the stop. Where do you plan to go?" Chen Ge carried his backpack and walked to the driver.
Whenever he heard Chen Ge's voice, the driver would shiver. "The last stop is inside the small town. We haven't arrived yet."
He wanted to drive the car to the station as soon as possible to drop Chen Ge off.
However, strangely enough, he walked around the small town for a long time, but he could not find the stop sign.
"Are you lost?"
Sensing the hostility in Chen Ge's tone, the driver started to explain with a bitter face. "I'm really not lying to you. There used to be a stop sign here, the last stop, but today, the sign suddenly disappeared."
The driver pointed at an empty spot next to the junction. "You said I'm lying to you, but what good does that do me? I wish to get you off as soon as possible, but we have a rule. We can only stop at the stop, or something bad will happen. "
"Are you going to continue to wander around without a stop?" The doctor stood up. He had not spoken earlier because it had nothing to do with him. Now that he could not find the stop sign and the bus did not stop, he would not be able to go to the ghost apartment to listen to his wife's voice.
"I want to stop the bus more than any of you! But we can't stop without a stop sign. If we stop randomly, something special will come up. " The driver turned the bus around. "Now the only solution I can think of is to return to the previous stop and stop there. If you still want to enter Li Wan City, then come on your own."
When the driver said that, he sneaked a glance at Chen Ge. He was worried that Chen Ge would have a different opinion, and reality proved that his worry was not unfounded.
"Let's stop here." Chen Ge pointed at the empty spot next to the junction. In the game, Xiao Bu's bus had stopped there.
Everything matched the game, but the spot where there should have been a stop sign had turned into an empty spot.
Once Chen Ge opened his mouth, the driver did not even have the desire to struggle. He obediently parked the car on the empty ground. "We've reached the final stop. Please get out of the car. I cannot stay here for too long."
Then he turned to look at Chen Ge politely, and his lips curled up into a smile of relief. "I wish you a pleasant journey."
"Thank you." Chen Ge held his bag with one hand and turned to the driver. "Since we're here, let's get off together."
"Together?" The driver's smile froze on his face. "My mission is to send you there safely. I need to drive the bus away later, so I won't be accompanying you."
"Just leave the bus here. There's no hurry." If not for the fact that there were living people on the bus, Chen Ge would have taken out the comic and summoned all his employees to make a move already.
Seeing how determined Chen Ge was, the driver had no choice but to sigh internally at his bad luck.
He just needed to get through this; there was no point in angering Chen Ge.
"Okay, I'll go with you." The driver pressed the switch, and the front and back doors of the last bus on Route 104 opened at the same time.
The moment the doors opened, the four female patients in patient garb with their heads lowered, who had not shown any signs of abnormality along the way, suddenly charged out from the back door as if they had gone mad.
Chen Ge stood next to the driver's seat. When he reacted, the four shadows had already disappeared from the street, and he had no idea which building they were hiding in.
If he chased after them now, he would not be able to catch up, but Chen Ge did not mind it too much. "Just run. I already know the name of your hospital. You can run, but you can't hide from me."
He and Xu Yin guarded the front and back doors respectively. To prevent another accident, Chen Ge had the mentally challenged man and the burn doctor get off first and then closed the door.
"Don't be nervous. There will be many chances for us to meet in the future."
