Chapter 544 - The Story of the Driver Ghost (2/2)

At this point, the driver’s shoulders started to shiver. He lowered his head, and his hands gripped his hair. The ‘sweat’ from his forehead slid down his face. “I felt like my whole body was frozen. I raised my head to look at the rearview mirror, and I saw someone standing behind me. His skin was white and bloated; his eyes were popping out of their sockets.”

The driver slowly raised his head. His skin was blanched, and his eyes were popping, similar to his own description.

“In my panic, I turned the steering wheel, and the bus flew into the river.” The driver had a talent for story-telling. After he finished, he glanced at Chen Ge, he realized that Chen Ge did not go on the offensive, so he continued, “I saw myself fall into the water. Then after who knows how long, when I opened my eyes, I realized that I was still on this bus. There was a shadow standing next to me, and it told me that I would get my freedom after ferrying one thousand passengers.”

“A shadow? Describe it for me.”

“The shadow was my size, it felt like my own shadow had come alive. I could not describe its voice, or rather, I forgot all about it after hearing it.” Based on the driver’s tone and expression, he did not seem to be lying.

This ghost sure is something else. It’s much more cunning compared to the other ghosts I’ve faced.

“If you want to investigate that shadow, I can provide you with one extra piece of information.” The driver’s face was expanding and scary—he had shed his disguise. “But you have to promise me one thing.”

“What is it?”

“Let me go.” The driver looked at Chen Ge expectantly. “My family must be worried about me. I want to go back to take a look at them.”

“I will definitely accompany you to go back home. Tell me if you have any other wish, I will do my best to help you fulfill them.” Chen Ge’s attitude softened aplenty; he already treated the driver as one of his own.

“You will follow me home?” The driver had no idea what Chen Ge was up to. He had a feeling that this man before him might go after his family. After a long hesitation, the driver sighed and gave up on his struggle. “I once asked the shadow why it needed me to transport the passengers to Li Wan City. It told me it was rearing something there, and it needs a constant supply of pain and despair.”

“Making a door lose control and sending all the pained souls from Jiujiang to this place just because he’s cultivating something?” Chen Ge remembered what the driver said. He asked a few more questions before pulling the driver into the comic.

The middle-aged woman was the only passenger that remained. She had witnessed Chen Ge’s ‘acts of violence’, and she was shivering like a leaf.

“Don’t waste my time. Tell me everything you know.”
