Re-live your life and start speedrunning

Under the shade of the bearded man's suddenly expanded body, the street lights above their heads stabilized again, and the few people huddled under the lights got a brief respite. However, the entire city except for this had fallen into darkness, and all sides had been swallowed up by the abyss. There were shadowy figures in the darkness, and although the ghostly figures were briefly forced back by the bearded man, they did not leave and were still circling around.

They are waiting.

Wait for the bearded man to run out of energy.

Come on again!

Yes.

This is the normal reaction of a normal person... Feeling the strength in his body constantly draining away, the bearded man sighed in his heart.

He knew that it was the young man named Li Re who gave him overly high expectations for this group of newcomers.

They are just ordinary people, what can they do when facing the attack of evil spirits?

It's just that everyone is in despair.

Or panic.

Or when you feel helpless.

Madoka, who had remained silent for a long time, suddenly raised her head, and the glasses that covered half of her face reflected overlapping light under the street lamp.

But that light didn't come from above their heads.

But coming from afar...

"Here it comes." The girl suddenly whispered.

"It's coming? What's coming!?" The female doctor who was competing with her turned her head suddenly. The pale-faced and disheveled woman looked ferocious with fear: "What's coming? What..."

"Shut up!"

The bearded man couldn't help but growl.

The woman fell silent instantly.

The surroundings suddenly became quiet.

At this moment, the bearded man seemed to vaguely hear and see something.

He heard the roar of the engine.

Saw.

In the darkness in the distance, a bright light suddenly appeared!

Rumble, rumble, rumble!

It sounds like the howling of a strong wind, or even more like the roar of a giant beast.

The next second, the surging ghost shadows suddenly became chaotic. They squeezed and twisted as if they were trying to avoid something, but because there were too many of them, they piled together and could not form an effective avoidance pattern.

One second later, and then another second.

The roar approached and turned into a thunderous roar.

The huge steel monster rolled over the ghost and rushed into their sight. The bright lights in the carriage spilled out from the windows and fell on several people.

"Looks like we've caught up."

Someone in the car said so.

Li Re, who was sitting in the driver's seat, tilted his head to look at them and then smiled.

"No time to explain."

He patted the steering wheel of the car in front of him and said amid the banging sounds: "Get in the car!"

Chapter 11: The first victim, the ghost in the car

"Finally escaped."

A moment later, the brightly lit bus was running wildly on the road of the ghost town, and the turning wheels were dragging pieces of ghostly wreckage behind it. In the bumpy and shaking car, a bearded man leaned against the window and looked at the dark scene outside. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and turned his gaze to the young man sitting in the driver's seat in front of him.

"I almost thought this mission was going to fail!" The bearded man had a relieved smile on his face.

Apart from him, the other three also slumped in their seats on the bus.

Li Re glanced at them through the rearview mirror inside the car, and then saw through the reflector outside the car window the group of ghosts disguised as humans that he had run over but were still chasing him from a distance behind...

"It's really dangerous." He said, "But now is not the time to relax - that guy is still chasing us!"

At this moment, there were no ghosts in the bus - he rushed all the way from the center of the ghost town, passing dozens of turns on the way, and while perfectly demonstrating his driving skills, he also threw all the ghosts in the car out!

The purpose is, right at this moment... to pick up the few people who came to this ghost town with him.

Li Re himself wanted to "die", but he had not lost the three basic values ​​of being a human being, so he would not be so stingy with a little help... Of course, under the premise that it did not interfere with his own purpose -

And he saved people just for this reason...

The ghost's target is the people in this city.

In that case, if he gathers everyone together, he will definitely be able to lure the ghost over!

After hearing Li Re's words, the bearded man's expression straightened. He looked behind him and saw the ghostly shadow following him in the darkness behind the moving vehicle.

"What a troublesome guy."

The unshaven-bearded man touched his short hair. He looked at Li Re and then asked, "Were you lost before?"

"I thought you died at the hands of that evil spirit!"

"I hope so." Li Re, who was holding the steering wheel, glanced at him with helplessness in his eyes: "I was trapped by a ghost... When I arrived, the ghost had already left the city center."

The bearded man didn't know whether to say the other party was lucky or unlucky...

"It's only half past eleven now, and it will take at least six more hours until dawn." Li Re continued, "I think you'd better come up with a suitable way to save yourselves."

"Otherwise, I can't save you - the gas in this car can only last for another half an hour at most!"

The bearded man's expression suddenly changed...

Half an hour?

Although he didn't expect to pass the trial by relying on this bus, he didn't expect that the time left for him would be so short!

"Do you have any idea yourself?" he asked subconsciously.

Compared with the other three newcomers,

The bearded man obviously trusts Li Re's abilities more.

Li Re shook his head.

"If I had...I wouldn't have let that bastard get away with it!" He tilted his head.

“That’s right.” The bearded man rubbed his head again: “That damned bastard is really cunning… He even dared to pretend to be me.”

"Can he fake my handsomeness?"

After he said this, he slowly stood up and turned to look at the other people.

"You guys, stop being in a daze and come over here to discuss and think of a solution."

"Even if we are just ordinary people, it is more reliable to pool ideas than to imagine alone!" The bearded man clapped his hands.

Li Re was fully focused on driving and did not make any unnecessary movements, but the corner of his eye was always fixed on the situation in the rearview mirror and inside the car.

Beside him, the illusory figure of a girl floated silently.

It also caused the other people to look at him with a bit of awe...

They will not forget what the bearded man said before.

The shadow following Li Re,

It's also a 'ghost'!

'Xiao Yuan' stood up on her own initiative, and the girl in school uniform walked over cautiously. If she hadn't moved, the bearded man wouldn't have noticed her.

The female biology doctor on the other side also stood up. She looked around and seemed to be still a little frightened, but she still mustered up her courage.

Looking at the two women walking over.

The bearded man nodded slightly, then looked at the 'Manager' who was slumped in his seat, still not moving.

The 'Manager' seemed to be stunned.

He frowned slightly.

This guy...

Worse than a woman!

The bearded man walked over.

"Hey, wake up--" He reached out and pushed, trying to wake him up.

But suddenly he froze.

Because of his push, the body of the office worker in a suit tilted to the other side and fell to the ground with a thud.

then.

As the gurgling sound echoed...his head rolled to one side.

The body and head are separated.

But no blood was seen.

There was only a rotten smell lingering, as if it had been dead for a long time.

But his body was still intact.

There's even some residual heat.

The bearded man's expression suddenly became extremely embarrassed.

He certainly didn't think that the 'Manager' had been dead for a long time, and that the accelerated decay of the wounds was a sign of being attacked by a ghost. However, he was also more certain...that they were not successfully attacked by a ghost when they were under the car just now!

And now...

The two women's faces turned pale again. They didn't scream, but just covered their mouths - their whole bodies were trembling, and they dared not make a sound.

But they said nothing.

Li Re, however, took the initiative to stand up from the driver's seat!

He parked the car but did not turn off the engine.

The headlights are still bright.

The young man's voice echoed in the carriage.

He said, "It seems that my guess was correct."

His side,

The shadow of a girl with long straight black hair was suspended in the air, following closely.

As Li Re moved forward,

The 'female doctor' and 'Madoka' subconsciously stepped back... a little away from him.

Li Re didn't look at them.

He just stared at the bearded man at the back of the bus - or more precisely, at the rotting and dead body of the 'manager' beside him.

Li Re showed a look of understanding: "As expected, that ghost followed you and got on the car!"

The bearded man in the back seat looked back.

The man's brows were tightly furrowed.

He suddenly remembered the scene where the evil ghost disguised himself as them...so at this moment, he suddenly felt a tingling sensation on his scalp.

Yes.

numb scalp,

Because the ghost could perfectly pretend to be them.

Then take the opportunity to kill one of them and sneak into the carriage instead.

Not impossible.
