The honest Tang Jun opened the door, took the seat at the driver’s spot, and felt that everything was so surreal. “I didn’t think I’d get back to my old career so soon.”
“That is what you’re best at, but I’ll never force you to do anything you don’t like. We’re colleagues, so if you have any requests, do voice them.” Chen Ge placed the heavy backpack at the last row. “Tonight’s weather is not bad. The rain is very heavy, which is perfect for an outing.”
“Where are we planning to go tonight?” Tang Jun was still a bit cautious around Chen Ge for reasons that he could not understand.
“Li Wan City, just take the route that you’re familiar with.”
“We’re really going there?” When he heard the words ‘Li Wan City’, a bad omen arose within Tang Jun’s heart. “Boss, that place is really dangerous. I’m not doubting your ability, but I simply think there is no reason for us to provoke them.”
“I’m not doing this to provoke anyone.” Tang Jun was about to sigh in relief when Chen Ge added, “I plan to cleanse Li Wan City from top to bottom, to rescue those that need to be rescued and to find out the truth.”
Since Chen Ge had said that, there was nothing more for Tang Jun to say; they were on different wavelengths.
“There’s still time for you to bow out. We’ll only depart at 11 pm.” Route 104 was very long, and it connected Eastern and Western Jiujiang. If they left at 11 pm, if there was no delay, they would arrive at Li Wan City after midnight.
“I won’t run; you’ve underestimated me.” Tang Jun’s legs shook unnaturally, and his hands gripped the steering wheel a bit too tightly. The rain continued to pour, and it was complete darkness outside of the bus.
At 11 pm, a broken bus exited New Century Park and slowly disappeared into the rain.
“Is this how you normally drive?”
“Yes.”
“Have you been blocked by traffic police before?”
“No. The shadow has done something to the vehicle. In a way, you can see this vehicle as a hearse in service of dead people and people in despair.” Tang Jun answered Chen Ge’s questions seriously as he piloted the bus, and soon, they arrived at the first bus stop.
The stop appeared blurry through the heavy rain. There was no one there, but Tang Jun still chose to open the door and waited by the stop for three minutes.
“Even if there is no visible passenger waiting by the bus stop, it’s better to wait for three minutes and perhaps a special passenger will arrive. That is what the shadow told me.”
The rain flew into the car. Chen Ge, who was seated at the second last row, observed everything silently. There were many ghost stories related to the bus in this city, but who would thought that it would one day turn into something like this? However, this was in line with the ghost stories society’s goa.
When I walk in the darkness, I am the scariest ghost story this city has ever heard.
