Chapter 50 Rag Doll
Shortly after Su Qin boarded the bus, the doors closed again, the bus continued its journey, and silence returned to the carriage.
Because of the strange events that Su Qin's clone had caused outside the car, the three ordinary people saw them clearly and naturally dared not come to contact the clone. They were not even sure if the person sitting in the car now was the one who had warned them earlier. Although the face was almost identical, the body was definitely not the same. The body of that person was still lying in that grove of trees.
They could only sit silently in their seats, filled with panic. They felt that apart from themselves, no one on the bus was normal; everyone was strange.
The guy sitting by the back door was the most suspicious and should not be approached lightly. They didn't even want to be in the same place as him, but they had no other choice but to hope that the bus would really take them back to the city.
No one can say for sure when the bus will stop; all we can do is wait patiently. Su Qin's clone sat in the back row with his eyes closed, resting. He only needed to keep track of how many times the bus would stop. He would get off at the eleventh stop, and his journey on the bus might be quite long.
I don't know how much time passed, but the world outside the car began to change again. The dark forest disappeared, the dark sky turned a pale white, and gradually the bright sunlight turned the distant horizon red. An asphalt road appeared ahead, and then, many tall buildings began to appear in the distance, and further away was a blue ocean.
The bus left the haunted place and returned to the real world, but it was no longer in Dajing City; instead, it arrived in an unknown city.
This is a seaside international metropolis, with gleaming skyscrapers and bustling streets, exuding prosperity.
The bus suddenly slowed down and came to a steady stop at the bus stop a minute later.
It was rush hour, and long queues of people were already forming at the platform, waiting to board the train. Su Qin's clone couldn't help but feel a bit of a headache.
This damn bus really knows how to pick its spots, stopping in such a busy downtown area. If a vengeful ghost gets off, the consequences would be unimaginable. Even Su Qin's clone couldn't do anything about it. He did know how to control the bus, but the little bit of supernatural power he possessed was completely useless. Even if he brought out his real body, it would be of no avail.
This ghost bus is an S-class terrifying ghost; without a captain-level supernatural being, it's impossible to control it.
If a vengeful ghost gets off the bus, he won't be able to stop it. Not only that, but the large group of ordinary people waiting to board the bus is also a big problem. With so many people getting on, the bus will definitely be overcrowded, and something terrifying will definitely happen.
He had to stop them from getting on the bus, so he set his sights on the three ordinary people already on board.
"The three of you can get off the bus, but on the condition that you prevent anyone from getting on. I don't care what methods or means you use, you must stop anyone from getting on the bus at all costs, or you will bear the consequences."
The clone's threatening tone sent chills down the spines of the three, who nodded frantically, feeling both anxious and a long-lost joy—they could finally leave this ghostly carriage.
Creak~ The front and rear doors of the bus opened at the same time.
The three of them stood up at the same time and rushed towards the car door. The young and strong dark-skinned youth kicked the student who was getting on the car.
"This mountain is mine, these trees are mine, if you want a ride in this car, leave the money to buy it! One thousand yuan per person!"
The dark-skinned youth, with a fierce expression, extorted money from the people queuing outside the car. The other two salesmen immediately got out of the car and joined the dark-skinned youth in blocking the front of the car.
They had no choice but to make a big scene if they wanted to prevent these people from getting on the bus. Compared to the trouble they would cause, this was much easier. They were doing a good deed and had no psychological burden whatsoever.
Although the dark-skinned youth looked fierce, his kick wasn't heavy. The student he kicked off the bus was caught by the people in line behind him and was unharmed. However, their actions aroused public outrage, and some adults surrounded the three of them, pointing their fingers at them and cursing them. It even escalated into a physical altercation.
"Well done, hmm? Why did she get off the bus?"
While Su Qin's clone was enjoying the farce outside the car, the old man sitting in the front row slowly got off the car through the back door, carrying a vegetable basket.
Su Qin's clone had no choice but to shift his attention to the old woman. After getting off the bus, the old woman walked slowly toward the city center. As she approached the bustling city center, she slowly lifted the cloth covering her vegetable basket, took out a dark object from the basket, and threw it into the trash can.
It was a filthy, black rag doll, which the old man casually tossed into the trash can, just like throwing away garbage.
"What is that? A rag doll? Could it be a scapegoat doll? But why did she throw it in the trash? What's her purpose in doing that? Should we get out of the car and take it away now?"
Su Qin's clone was slightly tempted. The doll didn't seem like an ordinary object; it was likely a substitute doll or some other supernatural item. However, the rumbling sound of the bus made him abandon the idea of getting off and taking the doll. Missing the bus for such an unknown thing was not a wise choice.
The bus doors creaked shut again, and Su Qin's clone withdrew his gaze. There was no point in clinging to something you couldn't have.
His gaze returned to the monitor, which now displayed the number 3. Two ghosts were gone. There were no ordinary people left on the bus, only two ghost tamers and two fierce ghosts sitting in the front. The unknown fierce ghost with an unidentified identity had gotten off the bus sometime earlier.
The bus slowly started moving. Su Qin's clone looked through the window at the three people being brutally beaten on the bus stop platform and smiled with satisfaction. These three ordinary people were quite honest in their dealings; they didn't let anyone on the bus, but the result was rather tragic.
The bus sped up, and before long, Su Qin's clone suddenly felt the sky outside darken, as if he had suddenly crossed more than ten hours, transitioning from morning to dusk.
The world outside the car window was a hazy yellow, and the surrounding scenery was no longer the bustling city with its towering buildings and heavy traffic, but suddenly we arrived at a desolate wilderness, overgrown with weeds and scattered with dilapidated graves.
Looking around, the whole world is filled with countless piles of graves, seemingly without end.
"Countless piles of graves, could this be an endless graveyard? And the city we just passed, could it be Dahai City?"
What's Meng Xiaodong here for? Could she be looking for Luo Qian? But why is she throwing away her doll?
These old eccentrics from the Republican era were all incredibly strange, making it difficult to guess the deeper meaning behind their actions. Unable to figure out the reasons, Su Qin simply stopped thinking about it, closed his eyes to rest, and continued to wait.
This is only the third stop; the road ahead is long, and who knows what might happen along the way? He needs to conserve his energy to deal with any unforeseen circumstances.
