Chapter 44 Arrival, Seizing the Yellow Paper
The bus slowly drove away without stopping at the old house.
"So, will we encounter that intersection next?" Sun Rui pondered.
The bus route is a mystery. If it follows a fixed route, then the intersection should be located either in front of or behind the old house.
It's also possible that the bus routes are random, and the haunted places it passes through are completely different each time.
Soon the vehicle drove into a peaceful county town.
The town has the style of the 1990s. You can't find another town like it anywhere else in the country. It's very quiet here, like a dead city.
"This should be it," Sun Rui thought carefully.
The bus stop in the county town should be near that intersection.
If Sun Rui uses the Ghost Domain, he can seize it the moment the bus stops.
This is simple for Sun Rui now; the only thing he needs to be wary of is the ghost rider in the car.
If you get lost in this haunted place, you'll have to wait until the next bus arrives.
The number of vengeful ghosts here is enough to kill Sun Rui before the next bus appears.
"I advise you not to have any other ideas about this place. This seemingly peaceful county town may be entirely made up of vengeful ghosts," the bald man said.
"Thank you for reminding me, but I know what I'm doing," Sun Rui said.
He recognized the man; he was Lin Bei, one of the future headquarters captains. However, Lin Bei was still very weak at the moment, and the ghost he controlled was quite special.
Simply put, Lin Bei's vengeful spirit exists in his dreams. As long as he is asleep, he will be hunted by the vengeful spirit, but at the same time, he will avoid being targeted by the vengeful spirit in reality.
Sun Rui wasn't paying attention to him; Lin Bei wasn't his target. He'd kill Xu Feng if he got the chance.
Soon, the platform appeared.
"It really is here."
A crossroads came into view, a network of roads leading in all directions to the county town we had just passed. In the middle of the crossroads stood a brazier.
This is exactly the same as the photo Sun Rui had previously obtained.
The brazier was filled with yellow paper, and ashes were scattered around it, as if someone had been performing some kind of ritual here in the past few days.
The bus slowly pulled into the station and came to a steady stop.
The moment the bus doors opened, Sun Rui rushed off.
As the smog rose, Sun Rui's figure disappeared from their sight.
"Heh, Lin Bei, do you think he can survive?" Xu Feng's sinister voice rang out.
"It has nothing to do with me, and you'd better not provoke him; that person is not simple," Lin Bei said.
"I've heard of most of the capable people in charge, but the person in charge of Dahan City isn't anything special. I've only been on the bus for a short time. How much could have changed outside in such a short time?" Xu Feng said.
"If we join forces and force them to reveal the secret of the bus, we won't have to stay on this bus forever," Xu Feng said.
"I'm not interested," Lin Bei said.
When Sun Rui boarded the bus, Lin Bei noticed a change in the number of passengers, but he didn't see any vengeful ghosts get on. Of course, many vengeful ghosts might not have a physical form, but since the bus was parked in the real world, very few vengeful ghosts would board.
"If that extra vengeful ghost is him, Xu Feng would be doomed if he dared to have such thoughts," Lin Bei thought to himself.
He glanced at Xu Feng out of the corner of his eye, thinking that people like him should just die sooner rather than later.
He didn't understand why the bus would mistake a person for a ghost, but the fact that the bus could misjudge him was itself a terrifying thing.
That's why he didn't want to get involved; after all, he just wanted to survive.
A thick fog enveloped the ground, which was covered with a layer of black mud. Sun Rui's figure appeared beside the brazier, but the ghostly domain of the burning ghost could not cover the brazier.
"Take the yellow paper first, as for this brazier..." Sun Rui licked his lips.
After the two vengeful ghosts crashed, he could no longer simply focus on completing the transaction. His goal was to acquire more supernatural items while still alive.
Sun Rui reached out and took a piece of yellow paper from the brazier.
Nothing had changed in the surroundings.
"Let's do it!"
Sun Rui picked up the entire brazier, and then his figure disappeared into the smog.
He felt a cold wind blow after he picked up the brazier.
"The ghostly haze is being blown away; this wind has supernatural power," Sun Rui said.
His figure flickered, trying to get back to the car, but at this moment, the ghost realm of the burning ghost was invaded and became intermittent, making it impossible for him to return to the car door in an instant.
"Many new things have appeared in the Ghost Realm!" Sun Rui's eyes narrowed.
He could sense that many things had appeared in the ghost realm, but they had no physical form.
"It's too late, the bus doors are about to close!"
The next moment, Sun Rui threw the brazier out, which was caught steadily by his clone in the smog. The clone then threw the brazier directly into the car.
Inside the bus.
"What is this thing? The bus is about to start moving. Could that person have died here?" Xu Feng asked, staring at the strange brazier.
"That's not what you should be concerned about..." Lin Bei's eyes were fixed on the faint black footprints in the mist.
The eerie wind dispersed the ghostly aura surrounding Sun Rui, revealing the scene inside.
"That person is just standing there without moving. Is he scared out of his wits?" Xu Feng said.
Lin Bei didn't speak, he just shook his head.
……
"Since you want to kill me, then this clone is yours." Sun Rui stood still, not moving.
He was just a clone; if he died, he wouldn't care.
His real identity was waiting by the bus the whole time.
The real Sun Rui held a piece of yellow paper in his hand, turned around, and got into the car.
The fog outside the bus dissipated, and the clone vanished as well.
"Damn it, what did you do!" Xu Feng said angrily.
He only just noticed the dense black footprints outside the bus, and his scalp tingled.
If all of them got on the bus, it would definitely be full.
"These vengeful ghosts aren't targeting me, they're targeting this brazier!" Sun Rui finally understood.
The next moment, a dense array of black footprints appeared inside the bus.
The number of ghosts on the electronic display screen instantly changed to 22.
Lin Bei was also staring intently at the display screen; once the bus was full, he couldn't stay on it any longer.
Just as the number continued to rise, the bus doors closed.
The number of ghosts has increased to 30.
The lights inside the bus were slightly dimmed, but not completely turned off.
"If they're going to get off the bus with me, then I can't take this brazier," Sun Rui thought.
Otherwise, he would have had a hard time surviving being surrounded by so many ghosts.
Now we can only hope that after the bus suppresses the ghosts, they won't get off the bus with him.
"Are you crazy? You brought so many ghosts up here all at once. If a few more ghosts come up at the next stop, we'll all die!" Xu Feng stared intently at Sun Rui.
Lin Bei fell silent. So many ghosts had failed to kill Sun Rui, but instead he had survived, and even carried a strange brazier with him.
"Don't look at me like that, or I might not be able to resist hitting you," Sun Rui said.
"You..." Xu Feng gritted his teeth in hatred, but everyone on the bus had their supernatural powers restricted and were unable to make a move.
The ghost bus slowly started moving and continued its journey through the eerie place.
Sun Rui looked out the window at the receding world and pondered whether to throw the brazier down next. With so many vengeful ghosts following him, if he were to be entangled, even the best supernatural items would be useless.
"Let's see. If there's really no other way, we'll just have to give up."
The bus pulled away from the station and headed to its next destination.
Soon, the firelight was reflected in Sun Rui's eyes.
A city engulfed in flames appeared outside the window.
