Chapter 0544 – The Story of the Driver’s Ghost
After the living people in the car left, Chen Ge took out the comic book and called out one of the employees, he didn’t explain more, and directly walked to the last row of the vehicle.
The couple was terrified by the crowd of people, they had never thought that they would meet a carjacker after all their calculations.
”It’s dangerous here, you guys follow me for now.”
Chen Ge didn’t bother to ask the couple’s opinion, and let Yan Dainian take the two of them into the middle of the comic book.
That couple was just a bit stronger in their obsession, similar to Old Zhou and Duan Yue, so Chen Ge wasn’t worried about them messing up.
After dealing with the couple, Chen Ge brought his staff to surround the hearse driver – Tang Jun.
”Tell me, why didn’t you let me get on the hearse when we were at the station?”
The driver didn’t expect Chen Ge to be so vindictive, refusing to let him go even after reaching the terminal.
With his five senses squeezed together, the driver felt the pressure from all around him and said timidly, “You can’t get on the car in red, only desperate people and obsessions are allowed on this car.”
”You know I have a red coat on me?” Chen Ge glanced at the driver and didn’t dwell too much on the issue, “Who asked you to drive this last train?”
”I don’t know.” The driver carefully answered Chen Ge’s question, he had never seen this battle before, and without Chen Ge asking much, he just told everything, “I’m a bus driver, and I used to drive the last bus on route 104. Our company has a lot of horror legends related to the last bus, said the car will always encounter a variety of strange things, the results of a lot of old people are not willing to open, and finally the leadership had no choice but to say that the driver of the last bus on the 104th road to send more than three hundred subsidies per month. I’m a bold person, so I became the driver of the last train.”
”What have you encountered since then?” Chen Ge stared at the driver’s face, the other party should not be lying.
”The 104 bus route is very long, crossing Jiujiang and connecting the eastern and western suburbs, when I first drove it, the teacher who handed over the shift secretly gave me a few words.” The driver looked at Chen Ge’s face, and at this moment he regretted it even more, “He told me that when I drove the night bus, no matter if there were people on the bus or not, when passing the stops, I had to open the doors of the front and rear buses and stop for a while. He also said that you should never stop at a place other than the station, and that you should not stop at a certain station for more than three minutes. The last and most important one is that when it’s raining, you must not drive too fast, the slower the better.”
The sweat on the driver’s forehead was growing, he kept using the towel on his shoulder to wipe it off, but it didn’t do any good, and after a while, Chen Ge realized that it didn’t seem to be sweat, but water.
As the conversation progressed, the driver’s face was getting worse and worse, his exposed skin was slightly puffy, as if he had been immersed in water for a long time.
”I remembered my master’s words, and for the first few weeks I followed his instructions to the letter, opening the doors and stopping at the station for a while, whether anyone was there or not.”
”Until a month later, when there was a heavy rainstorm that day, and there was not a single passenger left on the bus when we entered the eastern suburbs.”
”The whole car just me, the first few stops, I will still follow the master’s request, open the door to stop for a while. But then I thought, there is no one in the car, the station is also empty, I open the door, close the door for what? It’s purely a waste of time.”
”That day is similar to today, the rain is getting heavier and heavier, I am also anxious to go home early from work, so all the stations behind, as long as I see no passengers in the station, I will drive directly to the past.”
”As a result, when I drove to the station behind the waterworks, I suddenly heard someone in the car talking, specifically what I didn’t hear, as if I was asked to stop.”
”Outside in the dark, and then not to the station, I did not give it a stop.”
”And drove forward for a while, I suddenly realized that it was not right, their car is no passenger ah! Where did that sound come from?”
The driver said here shoulders began to tremble, he lowered his head, hands grasping his hair, from the forehead seeped out of the “sweat” sliding down his cheeks: “I feel as if my whole body was frozen, looked up toward the rearview mirror, and then found that, right behind me stood a man, his skin blistering white, his eyes are about to bulge out. were about to bulge out.”
The driver’s face slowly lifted, his skin pale and eyes bulging out, similar to his own description.
”I hit the steering wheel sharply in a panic, and then the car plunged headlong into the river.” This driver also had a talent for storytelling, he finished all of this in one breath, stole a glance at Chen Ge, and saw that Chen Ge had no intention of making a move before he continued, “I watched myself sinking into the river, and then I don’t know how long it took, but when I opened my own eyes, I realized that I was still in the last bus of this Route 104, and there was a shadow standing next to me, which told me that as long as I carried enough thousand passengers, I would be free again.”
”A shadow? Describe his physical outline and tone of voice.”
”The shadow was the same size as me, it was almost as if my own shadow had come to life, and he had a voice that I couldn’t describe, or after hearing it, I forgot it in the twinkling of an eye.”
Looking at the driver’s expression and tone of voice, he shouldn’t have lied, “This ghostly shadow is really dripping, it’s harder to deal with than all the ghosts and monsters I’ve seen before.”
”If you are looking to investigate that shadow, I can still provide you with a piece of information.” The driver’s entire face looked puffy and frightening, he had removed his disguise, “However, you have to promise me one thing.”
”What is it?”
”Let me go.” The driver looked at Chen Ge expectantly, “After my accident, my family must be especially worried, I want to go back to take a look.”
”I can accompany you back then, what other wishes do you have, say them all, I will try to help you realize them.” Chen Ge’s attitude eased a lot, he had already treated the driver as one of his own.
”You’ll accompany me home?” The driver was completely unable to guess Chen Ge’s true thoughts, and he felt that this scary guy in front of him would probably lay hands on his own family.
After struggling for a long time, the driver sighed and gave up struggling, “I once asked the shadow why it sent all of its passengers to Liwan Town, and it said that it had raised something in Liwan Town that required a constant injection of pain and despair.”
”To make an out-of-control door and send all the desperate and agonizing people in the whole of Jiujiang to this place, just to nurture something?” Chen Ge memorized the driver’s words, and he asked a few more questions before collecting the driver into the comic book as well.
The middle-aged woman was the only passenger left on the Route 104 hearse, she had witnessed Chen Ge’s previous “atrocities” and was very scared at this time.
”Don’t waste any more time, tell us everything you know, too.”
