After the living people inside the bus left, Chen Ge took out the comic and summoned his employees one by one. He did not explain and walked to the last row of the bus.
There was a sea of 'people', and the couple was spooked. They had calculated everything, but they did not expect to be robbed in their current state.
"It's very dangerous here. Why don't you follow me for now?"
Chen Ge did not ask for the couple's opinion. He had Yan Danian pull them into the comic.
The couple only had a stronger lingering spirit, similar to Lao Zhou and Duan Yue, so Chen Ge was not worried that they would cause trouble.
After dealing with the couple, Chen Ge led his employees to surround the hearse driver — Tang Jun.
"Tell me, why didn't you let me get on the bus when we were at the bus stop?"
The driver did not expect Chen Ge to be so vengeful. He refused to let him go even at the last bus stop.
His facial features squeezed together, and the driver felt the pressure from all around him. He said shyly, "Red Specters are not allowed on the bus. Only the most despairing and lingering spirits can get on this bus."
"How did you know I have a Red Specter on me?" Chen Ge glanced at the driver and did not dwell on that question. "Who told you to drive this last bus?"
"I don't know." The driver answered Chen Ge's question carefully. He had not been in this kind of situation before. Without Chen Ge asking, he told him everything. "I'm a bus driver, and I used to drive the last bus on Route 104. There are many scary stories related to this last bus in our company. They say that the bus will run into many strange things, and many old people refused to drive it. In the end, the leader had no choice but to give the last bus driver an extra 300 RMB monthly allowance. I'm quite brave, so I volunteered to be the last bus driver. "
"What happened to you after that?" Chen Ge stared at the driver's face. The man was probably not lying.
"The bus route on Route 104 is very long. It crosses Jiujiang and connects Eastern Jiujiang and Western Jiujiang. The first time I took the bus, the old driver whispered something to me." The driver looked at Chen Ge's face, and at that moment, he was even more regretful. "He told me that when I drive the night shift, no matter whether there are people on the bus or not, when I pass the station, I have to open the doors at the front and back of the bus and stop for a while. He also told them not to park at any place other than the bus stop and not to park at a bus stop for more than three minutes. Last but not least, when it's raining, don't drive too fast. The slower, the better. "
The sweat on the driver's forehead increased. He kept wiping it with the towel on his shoulder, but it was to no avail. After a while, Chen Ge realized that it was not sweat, but water.
As the conversation went on, the driver's face paled. His exposed skin was slightly swollen, like he had been soaked in water for a long time.
"I remembered the old driver's words. In the first few weeks, I followed his instructions strictly. No matter whether there were people on the bus or not, I would open the door and stop at the bus stop for a while.
"One month later, it was raining heavily. When I entered Eastern Jiujiang, there was no one else on the bus.
"I was the only one on the bus. At the first few stops, I followed the driver's instructions and opened the door and stopped for a while. But then I thought about it, there was no one on the bus, and the bus stop was empty. Why would I open the door and close it? It was a waste of time.
"That day was similar to today. The rain got heavier, and I was in a hurry to get home. So, at the later stops, as long as there were no passengers, I would drive straight there.
"When I reached the stop behind the fresh water plant, I suddenly heard someone talking inside the bus. I couldn't hear what they were saying, but it sounded like they were telling me to stop.
"It was dark outside, and it wasn't at the bus stop yet, so I didn't stop it.
"After driving for a while, I suddenly realized something was wrong. There were no passengers on the bus! So, where did the voice come from? "
At this point, the driver's shoulders started to shake. He lowered his head, and his hands grabbed at his hair. The 'sweat' that came from his forehead slid down his face. "I felt like my whole body was frozen. I raised my head to look at the rearview mirror, and then I realized that there was someone standing behind me. His skin was white, and his eyes were about to pop out."
The driver's face slowly turned upward. His skin was pale, and his eyes were bulging. It was similar to his own description.
"In my panic, I turned the steering wheel, and the bus fell into the river." The driver had a talent for telling stories. He finished in one breath and sneaked a look at Chen Ge. Seeing that Chen Ge did not show any sign of moving, he continued. "I watched myself sink into the river, and after who knows how long, when I opened my eyes, I realized I was still on the last bus on Route 104. There was a shadow standing next to me, and it told me that after I carried one thousand passengers, I would regain my freedom."
"Shadow? Can you describe the shape of his body and the tone of his voice? "
"The shadow was the same size as me. It was like my own shadow had come to life. I could not describe his voice, or rather, after I heard it, I forgot it immediately."
From the driver's tone and expression, he was probably not lying. "This ghost sure is impenetrable. He is more difficult to deal with than any ghost that I've encountered before."
"If you wish to investigate the shadow, I can provide you with a piece of information." The driver's whole face looked scarily swollen. He had already removed his disguise. "But you have to promise me one thing."
"What is it?"
"Let me go." The driver looked at Chen Ge with anticipation. "After something happened to me, my family must be very worried. I wish to go back to take a look."
"When the time comes, I can accompany you back. If you have any other wishes, tell me, and I will try my best to help you fulfill them." Chen Ge's attitude softened. He already treated the driver as one of his own.
"You will accompany me home?" The driver could not guess Chen Ge's real thoughts. He had a feeling that this scary man before him might harm his family.
After a long struggle, the driver sighed and gave up. "I once asked the shadow why he sent all the passengers to Li Wan City. He said that he was raising something at Li Wan City, and he needed to inject pain and despair into it."
"Creating a door that went out of control and sending all the people of Jiujiang to this place just to raise something?" Chen Ge memorized the driver's words. He asked a few more questions and then pulled the driver into the comic.
The only passenger left on the bus was the middle-aged woman. She had witnessed Chen Ge's' violence 'earlier, and she was very afraid.
"Don't waste any more time. Tell me everything you know."
