Chapter 0618 – Smiling Face
The black raincoat covered the man’s body, he was wearing a thick coat and looked a bit bloated, and after noticing the bus coming his way, he immediately turned his head and ran towards the other road.
”Why are you chasing after me?” There was a hint of panic in the man’s eyes, the 104 bus had deviated from its route, something that had never happened before.
The dilapidated bus slowly passed through the rain curtain, not too fast and not too slow, side by side with the man in the raincoat, seemingly waiting for him to get on the bus.
Something so evil had happened that the raincoat man quickened his pace, twisting his head from side to side as if looking for an alley that the bus couldn’t enter.
”It’s raining so heavily, how dangerous it is for a person to walk outside.” Chen Ge asked Tang Jun to park the vehicle in front of the rain-suited man, then opened the door.
The raincoat man stayed outside the vehicle for a while before finally getting into the car.
He removed the raincoat and revealed a face that Chen Ge was very familiar with.
This passenger Chen Ge had seen before, and the last time he went to Liwan Town in the eastern suburb, it was this person who introduced Chen Ge to the No. 104 hearse.
He was a burns doctor who married a patient much younger than himself, and then for various reasons, his wife committed suicide in the bathroom.
Since then he had been wearing a scarf that his wife had knitted for him, searching in the shadows of the city for a way to see her again.
The doctor got into the car and saw Chen Ge, in this eerie environment, familiar people can always bring a sense of security, he did not hesitate to go to Chen Ge’s side, sat in the penultimate row.
The vehicle restarted, the heavy rain hit the window glass, the sound was distracting.
”You’re surprisingly still alive?”
Chen Ge’s way of greeting was rather unique, and the doctor wasn’t angry, gesturing towards Chen Ge to silence him before lowering his voice and saying, “This car isn’t quite the same as usual today, something might have gone wrong.”
”Where is it different?” Chen Ge listened carefully, thinking about how to improve it in the future.
”Can’t say, in short, it’s weird.” The doctor put the raincoat aside and used his afterglow to survey the other passengers in the car, only ignoring Chen Ge.
”No wonder you would just run away when you saw the car pull into the station just now.” Chen Ge looked unconcerned as he stuffed the white cat back into the traveling bag, whenever he encountered danger, the white cat would always become well-behaved and obedient, and was very clingy.
After the doctor boarded the bus, bus number 104 turned around and returned to its normal route.
”There are several more stops before we reach Liwan Town, there are quite a few tourists who want to take the No. 104 hearse at this big night.” Chen Ge closed his eyes and rested his mind, no matter if it was a drunken man or red high heels, he didn’t put it on his mind, his main target tonight was the red raincoat.
Walking through the rain curtain, the lightning and thunder outside the window, the wind and rain, but the car was dull and depressing, it seemed that even breathing became difficult.
After five or six minutes, the 104 bus drove to the next stop.
On the empty platform, a streak of blood was being washed away by the rain.
No one knew what had happened in this station before the hearse came, and the blood slowly faded in the rain.
”When the red raincoat is irritated, blood drips off the raincoat, is this what she left behind?” Chen Ge couldn’t be sure, perhaps the passengers waiting for the car were killed.
The door of the car opened, according to the usual practice, even if no one got on the car, Tang Jun would still stay here for three minutes.
Nothing unusual happened in the first minute, and in the second minute, a silhouette vaguely appeared on the road in the distance.
He was walking in the rainstorm, wearing a neatly combed mushroom head.
The neck was a little longer than normal, and his features looked obviously similar to a human’s, but together they would feel awkward.
The mushroom head got into the car as the doors were about to close, he was soaked to the bone and had a smile on his face the whole time.
The corners of his mouth were cracked, revealing his front teeth, and he didn’t care when the rain fell into his mouth, it seemed like that was the only expression he would put on.
”A weirdo who smiles all the time?” Chen Ge’s evaluation of this new passenger was just like this, he quietly used his Yin pupil and just by looking at it, his pupil felt as if it had been stabbed by a needle, and a sharp pain came from it.
Hastily closing his eyes, when Chen Ge opened his eyes again, this strange man who had been smiling had already sat in the second row of the bus, and he seemed to have purposely staggered his position with where the red high heels were.
”The quality of the passengers tonight is very high!”
Rubbing his eyes, Chen Ge still felt a raw pain in his brain, he didn’t know what was hidden in the weirdo, but one thing was for sure, this guy was definitely not an ordinary person like a doctor.
The vehicle continued to drive forward, and after a few minutes, the doctor sitting in the penultimate row suddenly reached back and handed Chen Ge a cell phone.
Subconsciously taking the cell phone, Chen Ge saw an unedited text message on it – The hearse disappeared since we left Liwan Town last time, and it didn’t reappear at the agreed time. Tonight I just came to try my luck, but I didn’t expect the hearse to show up when it shouldn’t have, the previous pattern has been broken, and there will be many “passengers” like me coming to check it out, tonight is going to be very dangerous, take care of yourself. Another thing I want you to pay attention to is that smiley monster in the second row, be more careful, it once killed a car full of people.
Looking at the doctor’s text message, Chen Ge noticed a place, when addressing the smiling passenger, the doctor used monster and “it” to describe it.
”Killed a car full of people, how did the doctor know about this? If he was a passenger in the car, then why isn’t he dead? If he wasn’t in the car at the time, then who did he hear about this?”
His pupils were still aching vaguely, and Chen Ge had only used the ability granted to him by the black cell phone to look at the other party.
”This mushroom head, dressed up quite cute, I didn’t realize that he was a ruthless ball-buster.”
While Chen Ge was secretly observing the smiling man, the No. 104 hearse drove to the next stop.
Before even entering the station, Chen Ge saw a young man walking on the platform, seemingly very uneasy.
As the vehicle stopped and the doors opened, Chen Ge could hear the young man’s voice even as he sat in the vehicle.
”It really appeared, the midnight bus! The legend is true, it’s true!”
His voice trembled, his face was pale, his lips took on an abnormal greenish-purple color, and his body shivered as if he would fall at any time.
”So timid?” Chen Ge sized up the young man through the car window, the other party looked to be in his early twenties and should still be in college.
This was a very ordinary student, Chen Ge felt that he should be just like Xiao Gu, both being haunted by unclean things, plus having bad luck, which was why he crashed into the 104 road hearse.
Chen Ge had little interest in him and looked at him like a fisherman who found a small fry drilled into his net and was ready to release it straight away.
The vehicle was parked in the platform, and no one forced it, but out of Chen Ge’s expectation, this young man, who looked wimpy and timid, even rushed in when the vehicle was about to close.
