The woman’s face kept expanding within Xiao Gu’s eyes. He had never seen such a twisted face before, and his mind was blank from fear.

“Get off the bus!” At the crucial moment, Chen Ge’s voice in the phone reminded Xiao Gu. The brain regained control of the body. With the reaction power trained at the Haunted House, Xiao Gu successfully evaded the middle-aged woman’s hand. He missed the dead child, his fingertips just barely had time to grab his own jacket.

“Just run as fast as you can!” Holding the jacket, Xiao Gu pulled it out. When he turned back to look, the woman called Huang Ling was still seated where she was. The phone in the woman’s palm kept eliciting her husband’s scream, but the woman herself seemed to be stunned. She did not even shout or make a noise.

“That should be a living human as well.” The bus shook. Inside the crowded bus, some area started to leak. The three monsters with their heads lowered stood up from their seats. Their mouths regurgitated more hair, and their eyes rolled backward. Their arms shook like they were in some sort of spasm as they tried to grab at Xiao Gu.

It was too late to rush to the backdoor. Xiao Gu decided to make a bet and change his escape route. He jumped to the front door, and when he passed Huang Ling, he grabbed the woman’s wrist without hesitation. “Come with me!”

The doors started to close, and the terror-filled driver had his eyes glued to the road. His feet stepped on the gas pedal. He seemed to see something horrifying, and his body reacted on instinct. The bus swayed even harder. At the last minute before the door closer, Xiao Gu dragged Huang Ling out from the front door of bus on Route 104.

The two collapsed in a pile of mud, and the heavy rain instantly drenched both of their bodies. Beside them, the bus whose doors were now completely closed suddenly sped up.

On this stretch of road, only one street light was still on, so it was hard to see the road in the darkness. The bus sped forward and soon disappeared into the night. “It did not turn, but I remember there’s a river not that far ahead.”

Xiao Gu did not have the time to help Huang Ling next to him before Chen Ge’s voice came through the phone. “Xiao Gu, are you alright‽”

Hearing that, Xiao Gu’s heart was filled with warmth, “I injured myself a little bit, but I got off the bus.”

After saying that, Xiao Gu was about to stand up when he felt the hair stand up on the back of his neck. He turned back to look and saw the rain was trailing down the head of black hair before it fell on the back of his neck. Slowly raising his head, Xiao Gu looked at the woman in the red raincoat standing behind him, and the edge of his eyes twitched. “Boss, what should I do now?”

“Have you seen my child?” A pair of woman hands gripped Xiao Gu’s shoulders. The large Xiao Gu was thus picked up from the ground by the pair of thin hands. The hair fell, and the woman’s eyes that were filled with blood looked at Xiao Gu through the gap in the curtain of hair. She seemed to have started losing her rationality since she sensed her child’s presence on Xiao Gu.

“Have you seen my child?

“You must have seen my child!”

Her lips fell open, and the curtain of hair parted. It was then that Xiao Gu saw that the woman’s lips were sealed together by threads! As she screamed, her lips cracked, and the threads snapped one by one!

Pain came from his shoulders. Xiao Gu was scared dumb. The scene before him was way beyond the threshold for a normal person. If he had not received the special training from Chen Ge, he would have already fainted.

The woman’s body kept changing. The sound of joints cracking issued from underneath the raincoat as her body kept growing. The color of the raincoat deepened like it was slowly being dyed by blood.

“Xiao Gu? Gu Feiyu! Hang in there! Try to communicate with her! She is looking for her child! Haven’t you seen her child on the bus? Tell her that! Tell her all that!” Chen Ge screamed.

Hearing the voice on the phone, Xiao Gu’s wandering gaze started to focus. With quivering lips, he uttered, “I… I saw your child. He was on that bus. He was being held by a middle-aged woman…”
