1347 The Gruesome Battle on the Bus (1/2)
Translated by XephiZ

An old man slowly rose to his feet on the bus. He cautiously hid some mandarin peaches behind his seat and used an old shirt to cover them, as if he was worried that someone would steal the mandarins.
He went to the washroom at the back of the bus. He decided to relieve himself after struggling for some time. There was still more than an hour's journey before he reached his son's place.
”Ah, you're on this bus too, what a coincidence!” The old man immediately recognized Cheng Ying seated in the last row. He had a friendly smile like he was eager to converse with her. ”People are less polite nowadays. It's really rare to see someone like you, who's willing to help the elderly. Was the mandarin I gave you sweet? I planted it myself. My son loved them when they were young. I always bring him some whenever I visit him in the city. (Sigh)...he rarely comes home after he started working in the city. We aren't as close now, I wonder if I'm troubling him and his family with my visits...”
Cheng Ying looked at the old man silently. She had already noticed the old man was heading to the same destination as her.
The old man seemed to have misunderstood her. He thought Cheng Ying was willing to hear him out. He added, ”There seems to be something wrong with my legs. I can no longer live in the mountains and plant fruits. The doctor suggested me to move to the city since it's cold in the mountains, but my daughter-in-law doesn't seem to like me very much. Besides, I'm having trouble moving on my own because of my legs. I wonder if I'm going to be a hassle for my son. I wouldn't want to disturb them...”
”I can help if it really is troubling you,” Cheng Ying said.
”Really? Please tell me,” the old man blurted out.
”It's no longer a problem if you were to die now!” Cheng Ying's voice turned cold. She held a sharp icicle that had appeared out of nowhere. She stabbed the defenseless old man in the heart.
The old man did not feel any pain at the start. He only felt a chill around his heart. There was no blood pouring out, as it was frozen by the ice.
Even his breath had turned into a mist. He looked at the woman in astonishment.
The old man had assumed Cheng Ying was a gentle, kind-hearted woman. She even helped him down the stairs, and he had given her a peach as a token of gratitude. The little encounter had provided the old man some relief. If even a stranger was so friendly to him, his son's family would not think of him as a hassle, either.
He never thought the kind-hearted woman would suddenly turn into a detestable murderer!
”Your mandarin was terrible, I believe your son only likes them because he doesn't want to hurt the ego of a piece of trash like you!” Cheng Ying grinned and shoved the old man away.
The old man stared at her. The thought of his son's disgusted face crossed his mind prior to his death.
Was it true?
Was it really that bad?
Was he really a piece of trash?
The pain surged across his body, but for some reason, the emotional pain was worse than the pain from his heart.
”AHHHH!” The other passengers had seen what had happened, and screamed in fear, ”Help, she's a murderer!”
The driver quickly slammed on the brakes to stop the bus so the passengers could escape, but a strange voice suddenly barged into his mind, forcing him to lock the doors and continue driving.
The passengers completely lost their calm. They never expected that there would be two cold-blooded murderers on the bus!
”The Enforcement Union will never stand a chance against us. It's too easy to kill someone, but saving a person's life is ten times harder than that! It's very simple to find out if the Enforcement Union is on our trail. We just have to kill these useless vermin of society. If they are nearby, they will show themselves to stop us,” the Shepherd yawned.
Every member of the Black Vatican being extradited was an important clue that could lead the Enforcement Union to the Black Vatican. Therefore, every time the Shepherd did his job, he would always use this simple yet effective method.
Killing the people!
Killing at will!
The more innocent the people were, the better!
If the scum of the Enforcement Union were around, they would surely intervene!
If they were not around, they could just treat it as a way to entertain themselves. Besides, the number of people in the world was so high. Even if they were to kill from morning to night, it would still not make any difference to the world!
”Continue with it, take your time, let's torture the people that are on our trail,” the Shepherd said.
”I have waited too long for this day!” Cheng Ying laughed. She stared at the timid passengers hiding and screaming in the corners.
