The speed of the fifth-level ghost realm was far beyond imagination. When Shen Lin wandered around the city route in his memories like a ghost in a photo, somewhere in Daxia City, he quickly walked out of Daxia City like a character walking out of a painting. Out of nowhere, he appeared on a seat at a bus stop.
"Nothing found."
This was somewhat beyond Shen Lin's expectations. If the car really came into reality from an unknown area, then he should be able to find at least some strange remaining traces and even traces of the ghost realm during this trip.
But the truth is, he didn't find anything.
There are three possibilities.
The first is that the information or route is wrong. This ghost is not the bus that disappeared, or it is the bus, but it does not follow the recorded route. This situation is undoubtedly a bit troublesome and greatly expands the search scope.
Second, this ghost possesses an extremely powerful ghost realm. Its ghost realm is so powerful that even if it is placed in front of Shen Lin, he cannot sense any clues.
This situation is somewhat unlikely. It is not that Shen Lin is overconfident, but that the strength of the fifth-level ghost realm is enough to detect the traces of many evil ghosts. It is as powerful as a ghost pawnshop. He can still sense clues. There is no reason for this ghost to be better than the ghost. The pawn shop is several times scarier.
The third type is that this ghost is dormant in a corner. Unless the rules are triggered, it is likely to be no different from an ordinary bus.
This situation is relatively easy. If this is the case, it proves that the horror level of this ghost is not high, and with the support of the technical department of the headquarters, he will find traces of the car sooner or later.
The exploration of the ghost domain was ineffective, and there was no point in trying it again. Shen Lin simply found a nearby bicycle and set off on a bicycle, trying to explore some things along the path of the bus line.
The effect was not very good. Shen Lin rode for about an hour without finding any clues. His riding speed was not very fast, and he only walked about one-third of the route. The further places were in more remote mountainous areas. , has now been transformed into an urban village and is developing quite well.
The ringtone of the mobile phone rang at the right time for Shen Lin to end this somewhat boring investigation. Wu Qiu was very efficient. The technical department quickly locked in dozens of locations through feature analogy and big data exploration, and was very considerate for him. Focus on the most likely locations, marked in red.
The markings run through the entire route, which can probably rule out the first scenario. The car still followed the recorded route, and Li Geng and the others' information was not wrong.
One of the highlighted red spots was very close to Shen Lin, so he simply rode there.
This is a relatively remote urban area, located in the middle of the road from the urban area to the village in the city. There are scattered villages and households on both sides of the road. Shen Lin found a nearby store with a small facade and walked over.
The overall structure of the store is almost the same as that of the 1980s. The walls were barely painted. Shen Lin has many snacks that can no longer be found in supermarkets in the city. The doorman is an old mother-in-law.
The mother-in-law was very short, skinny, and stooped. She seemed very happy to see Shen Lin coming.
"Baby, what do you want?"
Shen Lin returned the smile, picked a few things, and took a bottle of water.
"Here's a few things, you see how I pay the bill."
"That, that, just scan it with your phone. I don't understand much, just look at it." The mother-in-law happily pointed to the QR code on the window, which seemed to be keeping pace with the times.
Shen Lin nodded and paid with his mobile phone. He didn't intend to leave. He simply opened the water and drank a few sips while looking in the direction of the road.
"Mother-in-law, isn't there a bus here? I said I was going to visit relatives, but I waited for a long time and didn't get a bus. Now I'm left in the middle of the road. Could you please give me some pointers as to where I can wait for a bus?"
Maybe Shen Lin looked really kind in his normal appearance, so his mother-in-law liked him very much.
"Baby, why are you so careless? Next time you go out, you should check first. You know, there used to be buses, but then something happened and they stopped. Every household here takes that contracted private car when going out, and I don't know much about it." Remember the phone number, I'll help you ask when someone comes later." Her mother-in-law responded with a smile, stretched out her calloused hand and handed Shen Lin two pieces of candy.
It wasn't much, and it wasn't expensive either, but it was the most common way for the elders of that era to express their love for their younger generation.
Shen Lin didn't refuse, took the candy and stuffed it into his mouth. The candy tasted quite strange in his mouth. He lingered for a long time before swallowing it.
"Mother-in-law, I'm going to look elsewhere. Please help me keep an eye out. If anyone knows, please help me ask. I'll come back in the afternoon." Shen Lin said.
"I got it, baby, walk slowly. It's sunny. If you don't have lunch at noon, come to my place. My mother-in-law will take you to eat." Her mother-in-law earnestly warned that the area from the urban area to the village in the city is under construction. No one knows when it will be completed. You know, if you are left halfway in a place like this, you have to either walk to a place with people or sleep in a villager's home. There are no more options.
"Okay." Shen Lin responded and left. He didn't have high hopes. The car appeared late at night. The chance of others seeing it was very slim in a place like this. There were a lot of routes to explore. He can't spend too long here.
Seeing Shen Lin walking away, her mother-in-law's smile became more kind. She looked around and saw that no one was there. She packed up her small store, closed the door, and took her small cloth bag to go out.
There was no such thing as a bank in the nearby village, and she didn't have a smartphone. She usually asked someone to take her to the city once a month and deposit money before coming back. It was the same today.
Seeing that it was almost time, I planned to go to the intersection to ask an acquaintance to help me take him there.
Carrying a shabby cloth bag, holding it in her arms like a treasure, with only eight hundred yuan in it, which was her monthly income, the mother-in-law staggered to the intersection and waited.
It's still early, so counting the time it takes to get back and forth, I can just come back before lunch.
In the season from spring to summer, the sun was quite strong today, which made the old man breathless. He wiped his sweat several times and saw that no one was around. When he was about to lower his head to take a sip of water, a gust of cool wind made the old man shiver.
Something stopped in front of her. It seemed to be a bus. The door was open to her. It looked like there were many people sitting inside.
"My dear, does this car go to the city? How much does it cost?" My mother-in-law asked.
"Here, one piece." A somewhat robotic response, his voice hoarse like a person with a broken throat.
One dollar, not too much, the old man made up his mind, held the car door and walked in. After taking out a crumpled dollar bill and putting it in, he looked at the passengers in the car with some embarrassment.
As if sensing everyone's indifference towards her, the old man found a corner with few people and sat down.
