Weird collapse, chasing husband crematorium

This file was most likely left to him by Beichen. Judging from their years of getting along, Beichen would not put him to death for no reason.

This means that the ghost bus must have something of its own, or... a ritual that needs to be completed.

Chapter 55 Behind bars

However, I heard from Beichen that the ritual is most likely only possessed by the source, which is the root of the weirdness.

As for why it is a high probability, it is because no one can predict the occurrence of strange things.

The long time will distort everything in existence, and there is no eternal and unchanging law.

Speaking of the weird origin...

Li Mo carefully recalled Beichen's story.

The strange source will continue to pollute the surroundings until all living things, dead things, and conceptual entities nearby become ghosts, and the ghosts can create derivatives based on their own laws.

If this continues, the city will sooner or later become a dead city.

Li Mo took the file and walked through two stations along the way. He didn't find anything strange, and his phone couldn't find any relevant news, except for the missing person.

"With so many people dead, it's impossible that the pollution hasn't spread. However, in reality, there are no ghosts involved with the ghost bus. It's very likely that after triggering the rules of entering the ghost bus, you will be forcibly dragged into the world created by the ghosts."

"Until certain conditions are met, you cannot get off the bus, or the probability of death is greater after getting off the bus."

Li Mo quickly analyzed the situation and came to some obvious conclusions.

"Let's talk to Ling first. Otherwise, if you disappear without a word like Sakura, she'll definitely be worried."

Li Mo stopped moving forward. The file said: While alone, he walked to three platforms in succession in the Far East Changkong City, and finally stopped at a platform for more than seven minutes.

Ghost buses will appear, and getting on the bus should be mandatory. The consequences of not getting on the bus will only be more serious.

Among those who encountered the ghost bus, there must have been some who stayed behind, but they did not survive, which means that staying at the platform was also a dead end.

Li Mo stopped at the second platform, hailed a taxi and went straight back to school.

At this time, Ling should still be in class, and then prepare for lunch in two hours.

But when Li Mo arrived at school, he did not see Ling. After asking, he found out that Ling did not come to class today.

"Strange, is Ling lazy at home? That's possible. After all, there's no need for her to attend school courses."

Li Mo thought about it and quickly returned home, but to his disappointment, he did not find Ling at home.

But the schoolbag was on the sofa, which meant Ling had returned home.

"The schoolbag is at home, but she's not at school. So where could she have gone?"

Li Mo was very confused and could only go back to the hospital to ask if anyone had visited him that day. The answer was yes.

After checking the surveillance footage, Li Mo clearly saw that after school in the afternoon, Ling stayed in front of his window for a long time, then left the hospital with her schoolbag on her back.

In order to find out Ling's whereabouts, Li Mo used Beichen's authority to remove the roadside surveillance.

The surveillance footage showed that in the evening, Ling first returned home and then went out to eat.

Late at night, I wandered aimlessly at the bus stop, walking forward while daydreaming, and finally stopped in front of a platform and stared blankly. Judging from the time, I should be waiting for the last bus.

and many more……

How many platforms did she walk?

"One... two... three... four... five..." Li Mo went back and counted, and the number finally stopped at five, which was much greater than three.

The surveillance video suddenly distorted, as if it had been hit by something. The last thing recorded was the shattered earth and the explosion of the fragmentation bomb, but the real surveillance was clearly still fine.

When things returned to normal a few minutes later, Ling was nowhere to be seen. The last bus arrived late, but seeing that there was no one on the platform, it hurried away.

"She was there for more than seven minutes... the environment changed."

"Ling got on the ghost bus last night!?"

Li Mo was startled and subconsciously bit his lip, his eyes fixed on the surveillance video.

The worst-case scenario occurs. What will happen if Ling, who has no idea what the rules are, gets on the ghost bus?

She might not even... survive the night.

Without hesitation, Li Mo immediately took a taxi to a more desolate suburban platform and left the city center. The sun was scorching at the suburban platform at noon and most people were resting, which met the conditions for being alone.

"one two Three……"

For half an hour, Li Mo walked through three platforms, ensuring that he was the only one there. He finally stopped at the third platform, sat on a brand new public chair, took out his mobile phone, silently counted to seven minutes, and waited for the ghost bus to appear.

If he was still hesitant before, now Li Mo had to get in the car no matter what the reason was.

He had vowed to get Sakura back, but failed to do so.

If Ling died again... Even if he found Ying, Li Mo didn't know what expression to use, or how he would have the face to face her questions.

"Time is up."

Li Mo raised his head, took his eyes off the timer on his phone that had returned to zero, and looked at the road ahead.

no change.

But... the lights in the tall buildings in the distance went out, and there were no more insects chirping or other sounds in my ears.

It was as if he was the only one in this world.

"If nothing unexpected happens, I should have arrived in another world and sorted out what to do next."

"First thing's first: stay alive until the ghost bus arrives. This should be easy, but don't let your guard down."

Li Mo stood up and looked around, but saw nothing.

If you can't get on the bus, you can't explain the origin of the ghosts on the ghost bus. It is likely that the ghosts on the bus are people who got on the bus and then died.

It’s impossible to be sure, but Li Mo’s intuition tells him so.

If you can't get on the bus, then ghost buses shouldn't appear. The first thing to be polluted is the platform, not the vehicle.

After a long while, the surroundings were still dead silent. Li Mo's tense heart finally relaxed. It seemed that the real danger would come after getting on the bus.

"The second thing is: after getting on the train, try to find a way to get off. I have a feeling that before you get on the train, it's safe outside. Once you're on the train, it's no longer safe outside. Staying on the platform or anywhere else will definitely lead to death."

Li Mo's thoughts raced, and it was easy to come to this conclusion.

That means there are no survivors and no one is seen.

Many people disappeared on this street, but he didn't see any of them just now.

When the ghost bus showed its fangs, some people would inevitably jump out of the bus, but it turned out that was wrong.

In supernatural events, you must act according to the ghost's rules. If you forcibly break the script, you will most likely become the ghost's first target of attack.

"I really should have asked Sister Beichen to tell me more back then..." Li Mo was very puzzled, then shook his head and cheered up again: "Forget it, no one knew that I would actively get involved in supernatural events now. After hearing all this, I made up my mind to stay away from it. But Sister Beichen might know something and thought I couldn't escape it, so she told me the strange information in advance."

"Otherwise, you won't even know how you died..."

"Don't be nervous. Sister Beichen said, stay calm and don't trigger the ghost's killing pattern. Observe carefully for ways to escape without triggering the killing pattern. Sometimes you can even trust your intuition instead of your senses."

"Ordinary people's cognition is easily interfered with. Everything they see and hear is false. Every once in a while, we have to analyze whether there are any problems with the logic of the scene."

"There are no male students in girls' schools. People only have two eyes and two ears..."

Li Mo kept recalling Beichen's reminders and read them all out carefully.

Despite this, his clasped hands still trembled uncontrollably. Bright lights came from the roadside, and the roar of cars was low and suppressed.

Li Mo shook his legs frequently and kept muttering to himself to relieve the fear in his heart.

"Ding——"

The ghost bus had already arrived in front of Li Mo. It was tattered and in tatters, just like the one he had accidentally seen in the photo before.

Li Mo swallowed and stood there as if frozen.

The reason was simple: the ghosts on the ghost bus in the photo... when I woke up and looked at them again, they were all staring at me outside the photo strangely...

When I get on the bus later, I hope I won’t look like the one in the photo…

Thinking of this, Li Mo couldn't help but swallow again. If he saw everyone in the car turning their heads towards him, no matter how much he tried to deceive himself, he still couldn't suppress the fear in his heart.

"Fight."

Li Mo gritted his teeth and took two steps to get into the car.

……

……

"..."

After getting in the car, Li Mo did not see the expected strange scene.

There were a lot of people in the carriage, and there were few vacant seats, but they were still there.

The driver was normal, just an ordinary middle-aged man.

In the car, there's a melancholic teenager listening to music on headphones, glancing sideways out the window. There's a couple standing shoulder to shoulder, hands folded, faces radiating happiness. There's an elderly man clutching a book, his eyes deep, lost in thought, immersed in a sea of knowledge.

The most eye-catching thing was a smiling mother and son sitting in the front seats of the carriage.

The child snuggles in his mother's arms, playing with his mother's hair in his hands, his eyes sparkling with curiosity and innocence about the world, while the mother looks at the child tenderly, her face filled with the radiance of maternal love.

The carriage looks full of life, and the atmosphere of human life can be seen everywhere.

Wrong turn?

No... How could I make such a stupid mistake...

Li Mo assured that he got on the bus only after he was sure that the vehicle in front of him was the badly damaged ghost bus in the photo, and he was absolutely right.

So where does the problem lie?

It can't be that my posture when getting on the car is wrong, right?

At this point, there is no turning back.

Li Mo walked through the front half of the carriage and came to the back half.

The only available seats are the second to last row and the last row.

In order to better observe the actions of everyone in the car, Li Mo resolutely sat in the last row.

The moment I sat down, I felt a chill in my body.

Li Mo subconsciously stood up and took a look at the seat. There was no ice or anything like that. Was it an illusion?

It doesn’t feel like…never mind, there’s no better position than this.

Li Mo remained quiet throughout the entire process, patiently observing the words and actions of everyone in the carriage.

The ghost bus will soon arrive at the next stop. People who get off the bus will press the button next to it when the ghost bus is about to arrive, and a quick and loud bell will sound in the car.

Afterwards, the driver will stop the ghost bus and open the rear doors.

Li Mo narrowed his eyes and stared intently at the person who got off the car.

He had previously concluded that he would die if he got off the car, and the present was a perfect opportunity to verify it.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the person who got off the bus stretched out his left foot first. His habit was different from that of normal people. Li Mo took note of this. Most normal people would stretch out their right foot first when getting off the bus.

However, this situation is accidental, so write it down first for reference only.

But the next scene made Li Mo unable to help but complain in his heart.

The person who got off the bus was a young man.

There were two levels of stairs for getting on and off the bus. This hot-blooded young man actually waited until both feet were firmly on the same step before he started to climb the next level.

It looks particularly weird.

At school, if a boy goes up and down the stairs in this way, he will be laughed at by his classmates for several classes.

Generally, people walk like this because they have difficulty moving one leg.

Li Mo continued to take notes.

The man was about to land on the ground. Li Mo focused his attention, stuck his head out of the window, and observed the changes in the other party's landing.

Disappointingly, there were no changes.

The expected death did not occur, nor was there any regular counterattack.
