Chapter 88 Bus

Lishi.

That night, in the early hours of the morning.

The rain poured down like a celestial river overflowing its banks.

The water on the ground rose rapidly, forming a muddy torrent that rushed towards the sewer opening on one side, making a splashing sound.

The Zihe Road bus stop sign was lit by a dim, yellowish light, hazy and indistinct, like a lone boat adrift in the rainy night.

Below the platform, a young man stood quietly waiting, holding a black umbrella.

The umbrella was pulled low, obscuring the face.

Rainwater slid down the umbrella ribs, splashing up tiny droplets at my feet.

He just stood there, motionless, as if waiting for a car, or perhaps waiting for something else.

The man was none other than Hu Long, who had left Yangang City.

The purpose of this trip is, of course, to harvest source value.

The small rock sinkhole from last time should still contain source values.

However, it is too bizarre.

In addition, they were underwater.

Hu Long decided to postpone his plans until he was stronger.

He looked at the street in the distance; because of the rain and the late hour, there wasn't a soul in sight.

"It's a pity that you can't see the specific information if you don't accept the mission, otherwise the selection range would be wider."

Because of his outstanding performance in the last mission, his combat strength was improved in the evaluation of the "Privy Council".

There are more tasks to choose from now, like this time.

Thinking of this.

He glanced at his phone; the screen lit up, displaying the time.

Time: 1.01.

"Nine minutes left, I wonder if this thing will even come today."

Hu Long's eyes flickered.

Recalling the information about this mission.

[Mission Code: Rain Bus]

[Task Rating: C+ (Exploratory)]

[Task Background]

(A year ago, several people went missing late at night in Piao City. All of them were eventually captured on surveillance footage standing alone in front of a bus stop around 1 a.m. on a rainy day.)

According to survivors, they all boarded a bus that shouldn't exist.

[Task Description]

(between 01:10 and 01:17 every day)

A completely gray-white bus can be seen on some old roads in Lishi.

The vehicle's appearance is similar to models from the 1990s. It has no license plate, no route number, and a flip-flop with only a blood-red "8" on it hanging inside the windshield.

After boarding, the bus will travel along a route that does not exist on any map.

Passengers may get on and off at each stop.

The true identities of these passengers are unknown, but it is certain that they are not human.

【Task Requirements】

(1. Try to collect information about the bus’s operating patterns and its true origin.)

2. The correspondence between the platform location and the actual area.

3. The type and appearance of the "passengers".

4. Try not to talk or communicate during the journey, and you must get off at the eighth stop.

The eighth station looks no different from an ordinary bus stop. After getting off, you can return to the real world. Based on past exploration experience, as long as you don't speak, getting off at the eighth station will pose less than a 5% danger risk.

If you get off the bus before the eighth stop (other than the eighth stop), your drop-off location cannot be confirmed, and you will be responsible for any consequences.

【Note】

(Remember, under no circumstances should you ride to the final stop.)

No clear information about the final destination has survived to this day.

Everyone who made it to the final stop never returned.

【Special Note】

(During the mission, the vehicle's loudspeaker may announce station names; please pay close attention.)

If you hear a station name announced on the radio that matches any familiar location in your memory, please do not respond.

(Regardless of who that voice sounds like.)

The reward for this task is not fixed; the final score will be awarded based on the detail and importance of the information you obtain.

The reward ranges from 50 to 3000 points; the higher the value of the intelligence, the greater the reward.

The bounty missions of the Privy Council can be divided into S, A, B, C, and D, from highest to lowest.

Level D missions are ordinary missions, and the targets are usually ordinary criminals.

Category C involves the existence of evil spirits.

This mission itself seems to have a high degree of danger.

That's not actually the case; many people have done this task.

It is inherently exploratory.

All you need to do is stay in your seat and follow the instructions; the risk is virtually zero.

This is also why this mission is tentatively classified as a C-level mission.

Hu Long accepted this mission for two reasons: firstly, there was a fixed solution, and he could get off at the eighth station.

The second reason is naturally due to the passengers who board the train.

Just as Hu Long was pondering the information about the mission.

Suddenly, two sets of footsteps approached.

Hu Long turned his head to look.

Under the dim light, two figures were walking quickly closer.

Soon, they also entered the platform.

This is a man and a woman, both in their twenties.

The man had a cigarette dangling from his lips and a noticeable black mole on his face.

The woman had short, ear-length hair and a long knife wrapped in black cloth on her back.

As Hu Long sized them up, the two men were also looking at him.

"Brother, you're the one who delivers the soul, right? You're here pretty early!"

The man spoke first.

The aura of a martial artist differs from that of an ordinary person; unless deliberately concealed, traces of this can always be discerned in their walking and standing postures.

Hu Long could naturally tell that the two men were of the same ilk.

These exploratory missions typically involve multiple players in a team, and they also offer high reward caps.

There's no shortage of people, of course.

"good."

Hu Long smiled.

"You two must be Sirius and Knife Man, right? I've heard so much about you, I never imagined we'd be working on a mission together."

O

He offered his hand.

The two were stunned and looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Am I that famous?"

But with a hand already outstretched in front of you, it's not easy to refuse.

The moment they shook hands, their information appeared before Hu Long's eyes.

[Target: All Appear]

[Skill: Serpent Stance (Level 6)]

[Target: Qi Yun]

[Skill: Serpent Stance (Level 9)]

The two share the same surname and practice the same skill.

They are clearly from the same clan.

One is in the middle stage of casting, and the other is in the later stage of casting.

He didn't even practice the secret martial arts.

Hu Long looked somewhat regretful.

But that's normal.

Exploration-type tasks like these are very difficult to solve.

Those who accept missions are only trying to accumulate points, so their actual strength is unlikely to be very high.

After a brief exchange, the group stood and waited.

I wonder if it was just Qi Xian and Qi Yun's imagination.

I had a feeling that Hu Long's attitude became noticeably colder after shaking hands with them.

But the thought only flashed through their minds for a moment.

Then, the two were drawn to a sound.

That was the sound of a bus horn.

Hu Long, who was standing nearby, naturally noticed this as well.

Looking in the direction of the sound.

In the distance, at the end of the street, the rain and mist were thick as gauze.

Two pale lights pierced through the layers of moisture and drifted slowly toward this side.

Like two paper lanterns floating in mid-air.

The lights are getting closer.

You can see that it is a gray-white bus, slowly driving out from the depths of the rain.

The car body gleamed with a damp, dark light as it was washed by the rain, and the windshield wipers mechanically swung back and forth.

Perhaps it's because of the lighting.

Only a blurry figure could be seen in the driver's seat; the exact appearance was unclear.

The bus wasn't moving very fast.

Strangely, the other party arrived at the bus stop in just a few seconds.

Hiss! Clang!

With the sound of the pneumatic valve braking, the car door opened.

The scene inside the train carriage is revealed.

The lights inside were dim, making it no different from an ordinary bus.

However, the car had no license plate, only a flip plate hanging inside the windshield with a single blood-red "8" on it.

This is no different from what is recorded in the mission information.

After confirming the mission objectives.

Hu Long didn't delay and went straight up.

Qi Xian and Qi Yun exchanged a glance, paused briefly, and then followed suit as they stepped onto the stairs.
