CH 96.1

【The rain outside was getting heavier.

Guo An told his wife to follow him and stepped out of the bus first.

As soon as he got out, his neat and tidy hair was instantly drenched, making him look a bit discomposed. But he still turned around and helped his scared wife.

“Everyone, let’s go! Hurry up before it’s too late!”

He shouted at the hesitant crowd on the bus while soothing her.

Hearing this, one after another stepped out of the bus —— no one wanted to sit with the dead.

The monster from before would appear every ten minutes and it already devoured two passengers alive. No one could forget those bloody scenes.

Everyone knew that staying on the bus was only a dead end.

Therefore, when Guo An proposed to follow the television’s command to explore the old rental house, they all agreed.

The bus parked in front of a brightly lit stop sign, but nobody could see anything beyond.

With the dim lighting, the passengers could only see a somewhat dilapidated three-story building.

It was not that no one had thought of escaping directly into the darkness, but the dark void exuded endless ominous energy. It always gave them a vague sense of danger, making them did not dare to run away.

Walking towards the building, Glasses’ inner fears shot up a couple notches.

His breathing was a bit heavy as if he had been walking for a long time and became out of breath.

His girlfriend became worried and wanted to help him to rest in the small building for a while. Unfortunately, Glasses did not appreciate it. He weakly avoided her hand and looked back.

He really wanted to go back —— according to the story, he was the sinner in this stop. If he went in, he maybe would not be able to come out alive.

Turning his head, Glasses saw a familiar figure standing next to the stop sign —— it was the clown guy.

But after blinking, the scary figure had already disappeared.

Glasses was even more panicked now. He felt that he was in a tight spot, trying to find a way to survive.

He panted heavily, feeling like he was about to faint from fear.

Not a soul noticed the woman in white behind Glasses. She was looking at his scared and desperate expression and showed a long-lost smile.

Come—— Come to me—— My Dear…】

—— From《Bus of Hell》

The bus had driven away for more than ten minutes.

Zhou Yu felt bored as he watched the unchanging scenery.

Just how did he get on this trip in the first place?

5A scenic spots?[1]

Super luxurious treatment?

He already forgot the reason. Now, he just wanted to get off the bus quickly.

Zhou Yu, who was driven out of his home by his mother Lu Meng to earn money before he was eighteen years old, had been on the bus so many times. So, even though this time the bus was really luxurious, he was a bit tired of it.

He had never been on a plane yet. Why didn’t use a plane if he wanted a luxurious trip?

Grumbling in discontent, Zhou Yu remembered the more than 10,000 yuan that Lu Meng had taken from him —— the so-called travel expenses that everyone had to pay.

For around two or three years, he had been saving money and he only collected less than 30,000 yuan. To lose a third of it like this made his heart hurt to the point of suffocation.

With this 10,000 yuan, he could take a trip using a plane several times. Is it necessary to use a shabby bus like this?

He really did not understand how his brain worked before.

He actually thought that his family was really nice to him when they invited him to go on a trip together. He even paid for it even though it was a bit beyond his budget.

Unable to complain about what he had done, Zhou Yu sleepily raised his head and looked at the driver in the front. Zhou Yu faintly asked, “Mister, how long will it take until the stop?”

The driver’s voice was a little hoarse like a metal and stone friction, it was quite unpleasant to hear, “One hour.”

Zhou Yu nodded and thanked him, “Oh, I see. Thank you, Mister.”

After knowing the exact travel time, Zhou Yu restrained his boredom.

Glancing back, he saw the bus that was full of laughter.

Some were flirting, some were chatting on the phone, and some were sleeping. Everyone was doing something, it was very lively.

But the liveliness had nothing to do with him.

Zhou Yu retracted his gaze and laid in his uncomfortable seat, wanting to take a nap.

He was forcibly woken up this morning and could not sleep well, so he wanted to take advantage of this time to rest.

Zhou Yu did not know if it was his own illusion, but he felt that the seat under him was no longer uncomfortable. His mood improved a lot instantly, and soon he fell asleep.

【Boom——】

A crashing sound.

【HELP——】

【AAAAAHHHHHHH——】

People were screaming.

On the dull rainy night, an overturned bus was tumbling.

His younger sister shrieked and pushed him to the bottom of the bus in order to survive.

Blood filled his vision.

And his breathing gradually disappeared.

! ! !

Zhou Yu suddenly opened his eyes and sat up straight, his face still had a bit of fear.

He seemed to have a nightmare just now, dreaming that he had died.

In the dream, he was pushed down by his spiteful younger sister —— it seemed he was still brooding that family, even dreamed about them.

After wiping his cold sweat, Zhou Yu take a peek at the window to relax his mood, but he realized that the scenery had changed.

Did he sleep all day?

Looking at the darkness outside the window, Zhou Yu frowned doubtfully and stared at the interior light that had been turned on.

The people inside the bus did not seem to notice anything unusual, they were just lamenting about the weather.

“I didn’t expect it will rain! My umbrella is in the suitcase.”

“Oh man, my new hairstyle! What should I do if it rains!”

“I won’t be able to go shopping, so annoying ah~”

Listening to everyone’s laments, Zhou Yu looked at the window in confusion —— it was still dark, but there was some rain constantly hitting the window.

Am I hallucinating?

Zhou Yu tried to wipe the windows with his calloused palm, but it was still dark outside.

This is a big deal now.

There were only two possibilities —— either I’m crazy or they’re crazy.

Zhou Yu puffed out his cheeks in annoyance and examined the scenery again.

He did not know if he should ask the people in the car to verify it. After all, he had made a scene before, so asking them now is the same as asking for trouble. They maybe take his words as a joke.

Zhou Yu was young, but he was already used to the way of this world[2]. He knew the psychology of these passengers too well.

Although he did not care about it, he did not want to be a joke for them.

Right! There’s still the driver.

Zhou Yu, who finally came up with a solution, cleared his throat. He was a little embarrassed to ask the driver —— this driver won’t dislike me for asking too many questions, right?

But before he could ask, the bus shook violently and stopped.

[2] : “但已经见惯了世态炎凉”, translated as already used to the way of this world. I don’t really know the same idiom for “warmth or coldness is the way of the world” in English. This idiom means people’s attitude towards you depends on whether you’re successful or not.
