"Well,"
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 of him 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 very 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 people returned to their previous 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 weird events, Shengzi has always subconsciously associated the weird things around him with weirdness. That's normal, this is a world full of weirdos.
“Try navigation!”
The Holy Son said, and quickly took out his mobile phone, "You can't make mistakes in the navigation, right?"
As a result, I turned on my mobile 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 Holy Son's face 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 came towards them, 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 encountered a similar situation."
With that said, 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 then 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 coming out of Yinnan Town, they kept passing the same place on this road, just like hitting a wall by a ghost.
"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 the time to get out of the car and smoked 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.
Checking the company's vehicle dispatch schedule, I couldn't 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. After interviewing the family members of the missing passengers one by one, all of them said that 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 disappearance of individual passengers. The family members could not remember where the tourists went. Video surveillance and flight and train records could not be verified, which 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 everyone's mobile phones have no 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 we continue to move forward, it will probably be the same situation. It is better to try to go back and take 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 car."
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, with a large number of passengers, the air in the car will 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 struck Gu Xing as somewhat unique.
"Then please get in the car," Shengzi said with a smile, "Forget about the fare and all that, just think of making friends."
"good."
The girl sat in the back seat.
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 girl in front of him, it was obvious that she would not care about the emotional status of a stranger.
"Mai."
The girl's answer was still crisp and clear.
The journey back to Yinnan 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 the Holy Son asked relentlessly, Zhenyi's response would be to stare blankly out of the car window.
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 Yunnan Town, it was already dark. You can see the lights of thousands of houses in the town from a distance.
"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 hurriedly looked back through the rear window, and found that the place behind him was empty.
There seemed to be heavy fog in the distance and visibility was very low. The forest loomed in the gloomy fog, and the atmosphere was 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.
"do not go."
This is the first time that Zhen Yi 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."
"Yes." 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 fog is moving, it will not be long before it engulfs the location where Gu Xing and the Holy Son are.
"Gu Xingjun," Shengzi grasped the steering wheel tightly, "I think this fog is very strange..."
"We can't wait any longer," Gu Xing said, "Let's keep driving forward."
"boom--"
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 dark forest, in the thick white mist, 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 Yinnan 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 very dark, so he couldn't see clearly.
"No, the appearance is different."
In fact, it's not just about looks. The exterior of the bus was obviously gray, dark, and dusty, as if it had been abandoned for a long time.
As Gu Xing spoke, he secretly drove 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 sat 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, their red eyes all staring 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 horrific 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 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 take 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, grin his big 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 looking 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 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 people were in an awkward situation now, with both ends blocked. It seemed 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.
"The First Cause of All Realms"
"Don't get out of the car," said Mayi from the back seat.
There was no warning about the small hole this time, 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?"

Because the average number of orders is about to reach 1,000 recently. After the average booking reaches 1,000, Qidian is likely to recommend an APP, which is very tempting.
Therefore, I plan to turn on the writer’s anti-theft function during the period of hitting 1,000 average subscriptions. That is to say, the last part of each recent chapter will be placed in the author's comment at Qidian. Only readers who subscribe to the original version can see it (readers who read pirated versions are called on to subscribe to the latest chapter).
After the average order reaches 1,000, this anti-theft function will be gradually turned off.
