Chapter 0543 – The Disappearing Platform
”In the middle of the night, when I’m out alone, I definitely need to bring something to protect myself, or what if I run into danger?” Chen Ge gave his reason.
”Makes sense.” The burn doctor hesitated for a moment before asking again, “Did you just say that the members in that …… Weird Tales Association are all like you as well?”
”Compared to them, I’m a little more sensible, I guess.”
”You’re sort of the saner of the lot?” The doctor coughed a few times, he was already very weak.
”En, when you have time, you can give me a call and we’ll have a good chat then.” Chen Ge felt that he had a good chat with this burns doctor, and looking at the other party seemed to be interested in him as well.
Bus number 104 traveled through the heavy rain and quickly drove to the next stop, Chen Ge got up and looked outside and did not see Red Raincoat.
”Where did she go? Did she run into some trouble? The sound of a child crying came from the roadside at the last stop, a sound I’ve heard before in the eastern suburb of the water plant to, could it be that the shadow has appeared again?”
At that time, when the shadow appeared, Men Nan and Xu Yin appeared at the same time to block Chen Ge, from which it was clear that ordinary red clothes were no match for that thing.
”Nothing will happen to that old sister, right?” After Chen Ge finished worrying about the red raincoat, he turned his thoughts to himself, “The route 104 hearse connects the eastern and western suburbs, bringing together those desperate people in the city, and the red raincoat has caused anomalies by merely breaking the rules. If I directly drive away the Route 104 hearse, will the mastermind behind the eastern suburbs directly show up?”
After thinking for a while, Chen Ge felt that it was unlikely, “The real body of the black hand behind the scenes might be doing something very important, that’s why he used the shadow to lay out the situation. However, there is another possibility, that the shadow itself is the mastermind behind the scenes, it doesn’t have an original body, or its original body is severely damaged, and all it’s doing now is to repair its original body.”
Chen Ge didn’t dare to just go ahead and gamble, he decided to test the other party’s reaction by driving the hearse away first.
”Even if it’s an existence above the red clothes, I’m afraid it wouldn’t dare to casually come to the western suburbs to look for me, right? The big deal is to stay in the House of Horrors until the injury on Zhang Ya’s hand recovers, and then we’ll figure out what to do.”
Chen Ge had always been a very optimistic person, and it was only with such a character that he was able to hold on to his heart in the midst of such a complicated environment.
The bus passed through a few more stops and finally arrived at the last stop on the route map – Liwan Town.
The station was at the entrance of the road on the west side of the town and was very simple.
The vehicle stopped, and to Chen Ge’s some surprise, Red Raincoat reappeared, but she looked quite distressed, as if she had just experienced a vicious battle.
The No. 104 hearse stopped at this last stop for three minutes, but none of the passengers on the vehicle got off.
Three minutes later, the last train drove into the middle of Liwan Town under the gaze of the red raincoat.
The scene in front of him was exactly the same as what Chen Ge had seen in the game, Boo had also gotten on the last train after breaking free from Red Raincoat’s pull, and then entered Liwan Town.
The blurred buildings slowly became clear, the last train traveled on the empty road, the whole town was as if no one lived there, no lights could be seen and no sounds could be heard.
”The stop has already passed, where are you planning to drive to?” Chen Ge carried his backpack and walked next to the driver.
Now as soon as he heard Chen Ge’s voice, the driver was emboldened, “The terminal is inside the town, it’s not there yet.”
In his mind, he thought about hurrying the car to the station and sending Chen Ge off.
But strangely enough, he froze after turning around in the town and couldn’t find the station sign.
”Are you lost?”
Noticing Chen Ge’s tone of voice, the driver started to explain with a bitter face, “I really didn’t lie to you, in the past, there was a stop sign at this place, which is the terminal, but today that stop sign suddenly disappeared.”
The driver pointed to an empty lot next to the fork in the road, “What good does it do me to say that I lied to you? I also want to let you guys off in a hurry, but we have a rule that we can only stop at the station, or else something bad will happen.”
”Without stops, are you just going to keep going around?” The burn doctor stood up, he’d been quiet before just because those things didn’t concern him, and now that the stop sign couldn’t be found and the bus wouldn’t stop, there was no way he was going to go to the Plutonium and listen to his wife.
”I want to stop the bus more than any of you! But you can’t stop without a stop sign, and if you stop randomly, something special will come up.” The driver turned the car around, “All I can think of right now is to go back to the last stop and stop there, so if you guys still want to go into Liwan Town, you can come in yourselves.”
The driver stole a glance at Chen Ge as he spoke, he was worried that Chen Ge would offer a different opinion, and his fears proved to be justified.
”Just stop here.” Chen Ge pointed to the empty lot next to the fork in the road, the bus that Boo rode in that game was parked here.
Everything matched the game, except that the place where there should have been a stop sign had turned into an empty lot.
As soon as Chen Ge opened his mouth, the driver didn’t even have the desire to struggle, and honestly parked the bus in the empty lot, “The terminal has arrived, you guys hurry and get off the bus, I can’t park here for too long.”
After saying that he looked politely at Chen Ge again, the corner of his mouth gently lifted up, revealing a smile as if he was relieved, “I wish you a pleasant journey.”
”Thanks a lot.” Chen Ge carried her bag alone and looked at the driver, “Since we’re here, let’s get off together.”
”Together?” The driver’s smile froze on his face, “My task is to deliver you guys safely, I have to drive the car away later, so I won’t be accompanying you.”
”Let’s leave the car here for now, there’s no rush.” If it wasn’t for the presence of a living person in the car, Chen Ge would have taken out the comic book, summoned all the employees, and made a direct move.
Seeing Chen Ge’s resolute attitude, the driver had no choice but to sigh in his heart that he was unlucky.
He thought that it would be fine to get through this moment, so he couldn’t provoke Chen Ge.
”Alright then, I’ll go down with you guys.” The driver finished pressing the switch, and the front and back doors of the last bus on route 104 opened at the same time.
Just at the moment the doors opened, the four female patients who were wearing hospital gowns and hanging their heads low, and who hadn’t had any abnormalities along the way, suddenly rushed out of the back door as fast as they could like they were crazy.
Chen Ge stood next to the driver’s seat in the front of the car, and by the time he reacted, the four ghostly shadows had already disappeared into the street, drilling into whichever building next to them.
Going after them at this time would definitely be impossible, but Chen Ge wasn’t too concerned, “Run, I already know the name of your hospital, I can’t run away from the temple.”
He and Xu Yin were guarding the front and back doors respectively, in order to avoid accidents from happening again, Chen Ge let the man with intellectual deficiencies and the burn unit doctor get out of the car first, then closed the door again.
”Don’t be nervous, there will be many more chances for you all to meet in the future.”
