Tang Jun had an honest expression on his face. He opened the car door and sat on the driver's seat. It felt surreal. "I can't believe I've returned to my old profession so soon."
"It doesn't matter who I'm driving for, and I will never force you to do something you don't like. We're colleagues, so there's no need to be so cautious." Chen Ge placed the heavy backpack on the seat at the back. "The weather is nice tonight, and the rain is heavy. It's perfect for us to go out."
"Then, where are we going tonight?" Tang Jun was still afraid of Chen Ge, but he did not know why.
"Li Wan City. We'll take the road that you're most familiar with."
"We're really going there?" When Tang Jun heard the name 'Li Wan City', a bad feeling rose in his heart. "Big Brother, that place is really dangerous. It's not that I doubt your ability, but I don't think there's a need to provoke them. "
"I'm not going there to provoke them." Tang Jun just sighed in relief when he heard Chen Ge's next sentence. "I plan to clean up Li Wan City from the inside out, save the people that need to be saved, and get to the bottom of things that need to be cleared up."
Hearing Chen Ge say that, Tang Jun did not dare say anything. There was no way to communicate.
"It's not too late if you run now. We'll leave at 11 pm." Route 104 was a long route. It connected Eastern Jiujiang and Western Jiujiang. If they left at 11 pm, it would be after midnight when they arrived at Li Wan City.
"Why would I run? You've underestimated me." Tang Jun's legs shook unnaturally, and his hands gripped the steering wheel tightly.
The rain grew heavier, and the outside of the bus was dark.
At 11 pm, an old bus left New Century Park and slowly disappeared into the curtain of rain.
"Is this how you usually drive?"
"Yes."
"Then have you been stopped by the traffic police before?"
"Not yet. The shadow has done something to the bus. You can think of it as a hearse that serves the dead and the despairing."
Tang Jun answered Chen Ge's questions seriously. The bus moved further and further away, and it soon arrived at its first stop.
In the heavy rain, the platform looked a little blurry. There was no one there, but Tang Jun still chose to open the door and stay by the platform for three minutes.
"If there is no one at the platform, just stay there for three minutes. You might meet a special passenger. This is what the shadow told me."
The rain fell into the car, and Chen Ge sat in the second last row, watching everything silently.
There were many ghost stories about buses in this city, but no one expected that one day, this ghost story would become like this. However, this was also in line with the motto of the Society of Strange Tales — when I walk in the dark, I am the scariest ghost story in this city.
Three minutes later, Tang Jun was on his way again.
After driving out of the western suburbs, Chen Ge finally saw someone waiting at the bus stop in front of him.
"Waiting at the bus stop at 11 o 'clock at night, this person's identity is definitely not simple."
The car came to a stop. The driver did not say a word. When the door opened, the person at the platform staggered and climbed into the car.
He was wearing a cheap suit, and there was a heavy stench of alcohol on him. His face was red, and he stuttered. His shirt and pants were all wet.
"Card … card …" He took out his wallet and swiped it at a spot on the bus. Since he could not hear the sound of the bus card being swiped, he was getting impatient.
"Why don't you sit there and rest? I've paid for your ticket." Chen Ge helped the drunkard up from the ground. He used his Yin Yang Vision to scan him. This passenger was probably not the 'person' that he was waiting for. "Rest well and don't move."
"Thank you so much. I've always been a very unlucky person, but today, my luck has changed. I got a big deal, and I managed to catch the last bus. In the end, I even met a kind person like you. Thank you so much!" The drunkard stuck out his tongue. He sat in the third row of the bus and took up two seats.
"You're quite lucky."
Chen Ge turned to Tang Jun, and the latter soon understood Chen Ge's meaning. He shook his head. He was not sure whether this was the special passenger that Chen Ge 'needed' or not.
"Brother, where are you going? I'll tell you to get off when we reach the stop. "
"Don't mind me, just do what you need to do! My home is at the last stop. After the bus stops, I'll get off. "The drunkard then collapsed on the seat.
"Last stop? You're going to Li Wan City? "Chen Ge studied the man closely, but he still could not see anything wrong with him.
The bus on Route 104 moved through the rain. After entering Eastern Jiujiang, the surroundings became much more deserted. There were no people or other cars.
They drove for a few more stops, and when they passed a small stop, Chen Ge saw a pair of red high heels placed on the platform.
There was no one there, and the pair of shoes was the only part of the platform that was not drenched by the rain.
Chen Ge glanced at the driver's seat. Tang Jun did not know anything; he just stared at the steering wheel.
No one got on the bus, and after three minutes, the door closed.
Just as Chen Ge was about to look through the window to see if the pair of high heels were still there, Tang Jun, who sat in the driver's seat, suddenly laughed.
Following the voice, Chen Ge saw a pair of red high heels placed under the seat behind the driver's seat.
The blood red shoes were placed next to each other, and it felt like someone was sitting behind the driver.
When did she get on?
There was no one in sight, only a pair of shoes. Chen Ge walked forward and communicated with Tang Jun through the rear-view mirror.
He saw that Tang Jun was trying his best to maintain the smile in the mirror, but in reality, he was about to cry.
"That's not a bad service. Keep smiling." Chen Ge did not seem to see the pair of high heels. He returned to his seat and sat down. He pulled open the zipper of the travel bag and played with the angry cat.
After crawling out of the bag, the cat seemed to be not used to the atmosphere inside the bus. After taking a turn, it obediently returned to Chen Ge's side.
"We're out to play. Be happy."
Seeing the cat's reaction, Chen Ge understood many things in his heart. He placed the backpack with the recorder next to him.
The bus was silent. Other than Chen Ge, no one spoke. This bus that moved in the rain was like a coffin that buried a living person.
The rain was still getting heavier. When the bus arrived at the next stop, Chen Ge saw a man in a black raincoat hurry away from the platform.
The man had been pacing back and forth on the platform like he was waiting anxiously, but when the bus pulled into the station, the first thing he did was leave like he had seen something bad.
"Did this person recognize me?" Chen Ge studied the man in the raincoat, and he thought the man looked familiar. He immediately signaled for Tang Jun to chase after the man.
