The Holy Son grasped the steering wheel with both hands and looked at the scenery and road conditions ahead. The dense woods, the twists and turns of the road, the afterglow of the setting sun reflected on the roadside lawn through the gaps in the forest...
"When you say that, it sounds a bit...familiar."
"Did I go the wrong way just now?" Shengzi looked at the situation in front again, "Did I take a wrong turn?"
"No,"
Gu Xing said: "I remember the way, you are on the right track."
"Ah... what's going on? Could it be because the scenery nearby is similar, so..."
"impossible,"
Gu Xing said with certainty: "I was deeply impressed by this place when I passed by it just now. Look at the bird's nest on the tree and the chopped tree stump over there. The position and appearance have not changed at all."
"Uh, what's going on..."
After driving forward for some distance, the two of them returned to the same position again. This time, even the Holy Son was very familiar with the situation here.
"what to do,"
The Son's face turned pale, "This is too weird... Could we have encountered something weird?"
Since coming to the criminal class and being exposed to many bizarre events, Shengzi has always subconsciously associated the weird things around him with weirdness.
“Try navigation!”
Shengzi said, and quickly took out his mobile phone, "You can't make mistakes in navigation, right?"
As a result, I turned on my phone and found that there was no signal at all. It was impossible to navigate and I couldn't make calls.
This also means that the two people are now completely unable to contact the outside world.
"What should I do..."
At this time, the look on the face of the Holy Son was already very panicked.
"Let's return to Yunnan Town first,"
Gu Xing was very calm. After all, the car was full of weird people. There was a person sitting on the roof of the car, and there was a weird taxi behind him. "If we can get back to the town, there should be a signal."
The Holy Son tried his best to calm down and turned back the way he had come.
The scenery on both sides of the road is still the same, but the sun is setting in the west, the sky is getting darker and darker, and the shadows of the huge trees are getting darker and denser, making the atmosphere a bit gloomy.
Unconsciously, the Holy Son stepped on the accelerator harder and harder.
"Dip-dip-"
A bus was approaching, honking its horn at Shengzi and Gu Xing, and then stopped on the side of the road.
"It's a bus! There seem to be a lot of people,"
The Holy Son's face lit up and he said, "I just want to ask if anyone on this bus has ever encountered a similar situation."
As she said that, she also stopped the car on the side of the road.
Gu Xing instinctively became vigilant, and immediately let the dusky crow out, quickly passing by the window of the bus, and found that everything in the bus was normal, and he felt relieved.
After a while, several passengers got off the bus, and the driver also got off.
When the people on both sides met, they realized that both sides had encountered exactly the same situation - not long after leaving Yinnan Town, they kept passing the same place on this road, as if they were running into a wall.
"Isn't this kind of thing too outrageous?" A passenger said: "This is the first time I have encountered it in my life."
"Have you heard about the recent case of missing buses?"
The driver took advantage of getting out of the car to smoke a cigarette.
"Among those missing bus cases, one of the buses belonged to our company, which is strange..."
According to the driver, after the disappearance, no one in the company could remember where the car had gone.
That memory seems to have been taken away from everyone's head.
I checked the company's vehicle dispatch schedule and could not find any relevant records for that bus.
Retrieval of surveillance video along the route yielded no results.
It was as if the bus simply evaporated out of the air.
Therefore, when the police came to investigate, they had almost no idea what to do. They interviewed the families of the missing passengers one by one, and all of them said they could not remember where the passengers were going when they got on the bus. It could easily be on the annual list of bizarre cases around the world.
"Tell me," a passenger threw away his cigarette butt, "should we have encountered something similar to that weird thing on that bus?"
A group of passengers scolded this man as having a crow's mouth and was unlucky.
Some passengers also mentioned the recent cases of missing individual passengers. The family members could not remember where the tourists went. Video surveillance and flight and train records could not be verified. It was extremely strange.
The more people listened, the more eerie and terrifying they felt, and they all told him to shut up.
"Then what should we do next?" a passenger asked: "Should we just keep driving?"
The best way is to call the police, but unfortunately no one’s mobile phone has a communication signal.
After a discussion, the passengers all had their own opinions. Some suggested walking a little further, some thought it would be better to stay where they were and wait for police rescue, and some suggested returning to the previous town.
The driver asked Gu Xing: "Are you two planning to go back to Yinnan Town?"
"Well, this is the current plan... I feel that if I continue to move forward, it will probably be the same situation. It is better to try to go back and have a look."
At this time, Shengzi had informed everyone of her and Gu Xing's police identities and showed their IDs.
"I suggest," the Holy Son said, "that everyone should follow us and walk together...it's best not to scatter."
The driver discussed it with the passengers. In this strange situation, no matter how he thought, it would be safer to go with the police.
The final result was that Shengzi and Gu Xing drove in front to lead the way, with the bus following closely behind.
Before Gu Xing and Shengzi set off, a young girl with twin ponytails and a very cold expression got off the bus and came to the front of their car.
"Hello,"
The Holy Son rolled down the window and asked, "Excuse me, what can I do for you?"
"Take a ride."
The girl said very simply, "Pay the fare."
Gu Xing thought for a while, and the girl probably meant that she wanted to take Gu Xing and Shengzi's car, not the bus.
The girl's thoughts are actually easy to understand. Gu Xingyou noticed that most of the people on the bus behind him were men. Moreover, there were a lot of passengers, so the air on the bus would probably be stuffy.
"Hello,"
Shengzi turned his head and asked Gu Xing for his opinion in a low voice, "How about letting her sit up? I don't know why, but I have a good impression of this girl."
Of course Gu Xing had no objection. In fact, the girl's cold temperament made Gu Xing feel quite unique.
"Then please get on the bus," Shengzi said with a smile, "Forget about the fare and all that, just think of making friends."
"good."
The girl sat in the back row.
Fujino climbed onto the roof of the car and sat down cross-legged side by side with Nobuhiko Kumada.
"Excuse me,"
Shengzi started the car, "What's your name? Oh, by the way, my name is Xi Jing Shengzi, and the person next to me is my colleague named Gu Xing."
Gu Xing quickly realized that Shengzi used the word colleague when introducing him, probably to prevent the girl from misunderstanding the relationship between the two, which would trigger a series of embarrassments later.
Gu Xing felt that it was completely unnecessary. Looking at the appearance of the girl in front of him, it was obvious that she would not care about the emotional status of a stranger.
"True clothes."
The girl's answer was still crisp and clear.
The journey back to Yunnan Town went smoothly, and there was no inexplicable backtracking.
Along the way, Shengzi tried to communicate with Zhenyi, but the other party had no intention of communicating at all. Unless Shengzi asked questions reluctantly, Zhenzi's response was to stare out the car window in a daze.
The Holy Son had no choice but to close his mouth and stick out his tongue at Gu Xing, who was snickering beside him.
When we were about to arrive at Yinnan Town, it was already dark. From a distance, we could see the lights of thousands of houses in the town.
"ah!"
The Holy Son suddenly exclaimed.
"What's wrong?" Gu Xing said.
"That bus is gone!" Shengzi said, "The one who was following behind just now..."
Gu Xing quickly looked back through the rear window, and the bus was indeed gone. However, Kita Eijiro's taxi was still there.
There seemed to be heavy fog in the distance, and visibility was very low. The forest was looming in the gloomy fog, and the atmosphere was very solemn.
"What should we do?" said the Holy Son, "should we go back to find the bus?"
【Never go back】
[Besides, it’s already too late]
This was a reminder from the small hole, and she seemed a little afraid.
"Don't go."
This is the first time that Zhenyi takes the initiative to speak.
Gu Xing looked at Zhenyi.
She remained expressionless, holding her chin and looking out the side window, as if she didn't care what was happening behind her.
Gu Xing thought for a while and told Shengzi: "Let's wait here for a while. Maybe they will catch up soon."
"Yeah." The Holy Son replied.
Zhenyi didn't respond at all, still looking out the window.
After a while, instead of the expected bright night lights of the bus, the thick fog came closer and closer.
Judging from the speed at which the heavy fog is moving, it won't be long before it engulfs the location where Gu Xing and the Son are.
"Gu Xingjun," Shengzi grasped the steering wheel tightly, "I think this fog is very strange..."
The Holy Son started the car and drove straight into the small town of Yinnan Town.
What they didn't notice was that in the thick white mist in the dark forest, stiff figures were swaying, with pairs of scarlet eyes floating like will-o'-the-wisps... Only Makoto was sitting in the back row.
He looked back, then turned his head and continued to stare out the window in a daze.
"this……"
The Holy Son couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
After entering Yinnan Town, I found that there was no one on the street.
In front of me are dim street lights, desolate streets, and dark businesses on both sides of the road.
Although there are only a few residents in Yunnan Town, it is really not right to be so deserted.
"Gu Xingjun,"
The Holy Son swallowed his throat, "Look ahead..."
"Yeah, I saw it."
Gu Xing had already seen a bus slowly approaching on the empty street ahead.
"Is it the one just now?" Shengzi observed carefully, but it was a little far away and the night was dark, so he couldn't see clearly.
"No, the appearance is different."
In fact, it’s not just the appearance. The exterior of the bus is obviously gray, dark, and covered in dust, as if it has been abandoned for a long time.
As Gu Xing spoke, he secretly sent the Dark Crow to fly over.
His perspective also switched to that of Dark Crow——
The dusky crow leaned down and passed by the window of the bus.
In the carriage, zombies with blue faces and red eyes were seen sitting on the seats.
The zombies maintained their original postures - some were looking at their mobile phones, some were reading newspapers, some were sleeping, and some were looking at the scenery outside the window.
When the Dark Crow passed by, all the zombies turned their heads towards the Dark Crow, all their red eyes stared at the Dark Crow, and a gloomy and mysterious aura rushed towards them.
Even though Gu Xing had seen a lot of strange things and experienced many terrifying scenes during these days, he was still startled by this scene and broke into a cold sweat.
"Turn right at the next intersection,"
Gu Xing said to Shengzi: "There is something wrong with that bus."
The Holy Son immediately turned the steering wheel to the right and turned into the street on the right.
"Ah...it's catching up!"
After driving forward for a while, Shengzi exclaimed: "It's going very fast."
As soon as he finished speaking, some of the houses with lights on in the alleys on both sides of the street also dimmed in an instant, and the town was filled with darkness.
The Holy Son panicked and stepped on the accelerator.
Gu Xingze began to try to use Gray Eye's space teleportation rules, but found that the rules could not be applied here at all.
"Don't panic,"
Gu Xing looked at the bus following closely behind him and said to Shengzi: "It's too big, let's go through the alley."
In fact, Gu Xing had many ways to deal with the bus full of zombies behind him.
For example, let Fujino knock on the bus door and send the bus and zombies into the wood crusher.
For another example, let Nobuhiko Kumada rush into the bus, open his mouth, and eat a big meal.
But Gu Xing vaguely felt that in a dark corner, there was a pair of dangerous eyes staring at him.
He once thought it was Zhenyi sitting in the back row, but when he looked out of the corner of his eye, Zhenyi was staring out the window in a daze, without even looking at him.
Gu Xing couldn't help but admire this girl. He didn't know if she was a talented person and brave, or if she had a really big heart.
Gu Xing thought about it, secretly became more wary of Zhenyi, and decided to stay put for the time being and adapt to changes.
He wanted to see what the owner of those eyes wanted to do.
"Ah...not good!"
After Shengzi drove into the alley, the bus behind him did stop at the entrance of the alley, but a new bus soon appeared at the exit at the other end of the alley.
"Chi——"
The Holy Son quickly stopped the car, his face turned pale, "Gu Xingjun, what should I do!"
The three of them were now in an awkward situation, with both ends blocked. It seemed that they could only get out of the car as soon as possible and sneak into the homes of residents on both sides... But the houses on both sides were also dark, and they seemed to be more crowded than the bus.
"Don't get out of the car." said Zhen Yi from the back seat.
This time there was no warning about the small hole, but obviously it was not wise to get out of the car at this time.
"Then what should we do?" Shengzi's hand holding the steering wheel was obviously shaking, "Rush, rush over?"
As the Holy Son was talking, the side door of the bus in front suddenly opened, and zombies with red eyes stepped out of the bus.
They moved their heads and necks a little, and soon spotted Gu Xing and the other three in the middle of the alley, running towards them very fast.
The alley is very narrow and turning around is impossible.
In panic, the Holy Son put the reverse gear on and planned to retreat.
But when I looked back, I saw zombies getting off the bus behind me...
