Chapter 0628 – Woe to the East
As the bus crashed into the blood fog, the sound of high heels stomping down disappeared, and the smiling man’s expression froze completely.
The situation was spiraling out of control and was going in a direction that the ghosts didn’t even know about.
The rain on the windows slid downwards, and when the mist touched the bus, it would turn into tiny strands of blood adsorbed onto the shell of the vehicle, and the dilapidated bus was slowly being dyed red.
Turning his head to look, the way he came has already been swallowed by the blood mist, now even if he drives back, it seems that he can’t go back.
”There’s still a certain difference between this place and the world behind the door, the buildings didn’t completely turn blood red in the fog, it should still need a process of encroachment.” Chen Ge, as the dominant player, showed the most calmness, his fingers resting on the outside of his pocket, and his black cell phone vibrated several times in a row in the blink of an eye when the bus rushed into the blood fog.
The situation was now uncertain and could easily change, so he was not prepared to take out his cell phone to look at it for the time being, deciding to wait until he was in a safe place.
According to Chen Ge’s previous instructions, Tang Jun drove towards the neighborhood where Fan Cong’s house was located, but as more and more blood mist adsorbed on the car, the speed of the car began to slow down.
Even if Tang Jun stepped on the gas to the bottom, there was still no way to change it.
”What the hell is going on here?” The entire car’s passengers needed an explanation, Tang Jun’s pressure was growing, he had listened to Chen Ge’s words, but now the passengers’ anger was all focused on him.
Gripping the steering wheel tightly, Tang Jun was worried that Chen Ge would abandon him.
For a ghost who could drive, offending the scary smiley man and red high heeled shoes, this was clearly not cost effective.
The speed of the car was getting slower and slower, this wasn’t good news for Tang Jun. The task explained by his boss wasn’t accomplished, and he had to bear the wrath of his passengers, neither side was pleasing.
He didn’t know Chen Ge’s plan and never asked, it would be a lie to say he didn’t regret it in his heart.
”Where exactly are you taking us?” The middle-aged man grimaced as he broke away from Chen Ge and stepped on the brakes again, this time Chen Ge did not bother to stop him.
The speed of the car had already slowed down drastically, and there was little point in stopping the other party again at this point.
”Stop the car for me!” The middle-aged man stepped on the brakes and his hands started to fight for the steering wheel again, also out of the driver’s instinct, Tang Jun gritted his teeth and pushed the middle-aged man away with force.
The steering wheel turned, and the hearse veered off the highway, rushing towards the railing on one side.
”Watch out!” Chen Ge shouted, taking over the middle-aged man’s position.
With his back to all the passengers, he signaled Tang Jun to open the door and leave immediately.
Tang Jun understood what Chen Ge meant, and he decided to trust Chen Ge one last time.
After Chen Ge reached out and gripped the direction, he decisively opened the car door and jumped out.
”Trying to run!” Chen Ge’s voice was louder than anyone else’s as he slammed on the brakes and rushed out of the bus with his backpack without waiting for the car to stop: “Stop!”
He shouted and rushed out right after him.
”Don’t give chase! Come back!” The doctor knew that it was very dangerous in the blood mist, he tried to stop it but was unsuccessful.
Turning a corner, Chen Ge shouted don’t run, but reached out and opened the backpack zipper, retrieving Tang Jun among the comic books.
”Stop chasing!” The doctor’s voice came from behind him, and Chen Ge ran out a few more steps before rejoining the car.
”Where’s the driver?” The middle-aged man’s face was ugly.
”Didn’t catch up, this should have been premeditated in advance, he even thought of an escape route.”
Chen Ge had just finished speaking when the middle-aged man rushed over and grabbed him by the collar, “It’s all your fault! If you hadn’t blocked me just now, the car wouldn’t have driven into the fog now!”
”Blame me? It’s not like you didn’t know how fast the car was going at that time, what if the car crashed because you and the driver fought for the steering wheel, causing the car to directly hit the building next to it?” Chen Ge had a point.
”Damn, damn!” The middle-aged man hammered the armrest fiercely, he scratched his hair painfully, his expression was desperate: “In order to get rid of these things, I offered my own daughter, today I brought my son over for this matter as well, now it’s good, it’s all over!”
”Offering my own daughter?” Chen Ge’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, he had seen many bad guys, but it was the first time he had encountered one like this middle-aged man in front of him.
The middle-aged man’s emotions were on the verge of collapse, he wanted to vent the anger in his heart, and the kind-faced Chen Ge became the object of his anger, and all sorts of unpleasant expletives came out of his mouth.
In sharp contrast to the middle-aged man, Chen Ge behaved in a very cultured manner, and his gaze crossed over the middle-aged man to look at the frightened child.
There were a few black and purple bruises remaining on the child’s arm, wanting to look but not daring to look, his head was lowered, and occasionally his eyes flicked upwards.
”Such a well-behaved child, how could you be so cruel?”
”I’m doing this for his own good, if I can’t get rid of that horrible thing, my whole family will die!” The middle-aged man got angrier and angrier as he grabbed Chen Ge’s collar once again, “It’s all because of you!”
”You use other people’s despair to save your own despair, and all you get is a deeper despair. Only by solving the problem at the root can you truly gain relief.” Chen Ge pressed the middle-aged man’s hand, “This is the second time you’ve grabbed my collar, I hope there won’t be a third time.”
”It’s useless for us to fight internally now, it’s better to hurry up and think of a solution.” The doctor came out to round up the situation, he separated Chen Ge and the middle-aged man, “The driver would suddenly change direction and drive the bus into the middle of the blood mist, this is definitely under someone’s instruction, I’ve done this bus many times and there were no accidents, that driver is just a minion, the one who really wants to harm us is someone else.”
The doctor’s analysis was accurate, but because of the difference in information, the general direction of his thinking was wrong: “The last bus on route 104 crosses the Jiujiang River, connecting the western and eastern suburbs of the city, and serves the master behind Liwan Town, the reason why we were sent into the mist of blood was most likely that one’s intention, and there is presumably something, or someone, that he needs on this bus. ”
”Not bad, that’s what I think too, even if the hearse stops outside the snow house, the other party will have other ways to force us into the fog.” Chen stood with the doctor with his backpack.
”The master behind Liwan Town? You know quite a lot.” When the middle-aged man saw the doctor helping Chen Ge speak, he didn’t dare to go one-on-two and his tone weakened a lot, “Then tell us about that so-called master behind the curtain, what exactly is he scheming?”
”Probably trying to deal with someone.” The doctor’s words caused Chen Ge’s heart to flutter, and when he turned his head to look, he realized that the doctor was staring at the smiling man.
”Each of us has our own secrets, like that man beside you, who once massacred an entire busload of passengers and ruined the plans of the person behind Liwan Town.” The doctor revealed the smiling man’s secret.
Maintaining a wry smile, the smiling man’s neck stretched out, his eyes crawling with thin black lines, looked at the doctor, “I killed a car full of people, including the driver, without leaving any of them alive, and how did you know about this?”
