Chapter 007: The Old Woman Burning Paper Money
The identity card contains a home address. Looking at Ge Yu's home address, it is located in a small village. She must be a diligent girl who studied hard, having been admitted to an art academy, yet she lost her life on the street, having had her heart taken by criminals. It is known that a heart can sell for at least four hundred thousand on the black market
I am puzzled and ask: How do you know that something will happen to me
"Indeed, if Ge Yu wanted to kill you, you would have been dead the moment she got into the car. However, she hasn't harmed you, which makes me wonder if she is also seeking help," the suited man analyzed.
In addition, she has never taken bus route 14. Although the suited gentleman told me that Ge Yu would not harm me for the time being, looking at her at this moment truly sends chills down my spine
The suited gentleman shook his head and said: "It should not be the case. You are the most unique among all the drivers. Ge Yu has never killed you; I am not sure of the reason, but the previous three drivers all received rings, necklaces, and high heels, yet you alone have not received an ID card"
The man in the suit nodded and said: Zhou Bingkun has told me all about you, saying that you are not a bad person and hoping that I can save your life
I truly want to slap myself twice. I have almost committed all the taboos that Chen Wei mentioned to me. In a state of tension and anxiety, I drove to the coking plant. However, the journey was relatively stable; occasionally, a few passengers got on, but they all got off after just a few stops.
I thought to myself, this is a disaster. The first time I committed a taboo with the book was when I stayed at the coking plant for more than ten minutes, and then I encountered Ge Yu
What did I just do? I stopped the bus without being at the station
After he nodded, I took him to my dormitory. I closed the door and directly asked, "Tonight, a girl in her twenties sat in my car. When we arrived at Charm City, I hadn't even opened the car door, and she just disappeared.
After this period of time, I have indeed found that there is nothing strange happening. However, there is one thing I have never understood: since Ge Yu does not want to kill me, why did he set up the ghost wall for me? What secret is hidden within this?
I turned my head to the side, and my pants suddenly trembled, nearly causing me to wet myself
Chen Wei once told me that one must not stop until reaching the station, even if encountering someone on the verge of death, one must not stop
I told him everything that happened when I met my grandmother, and he nodded, saying: The female ghost standing next to you at that time was most likely this Ge Yu.
I jumped out of the car and said to the old lady, "Grandma, why are you burning paper money at midnight?"
I find it puzzling; I wonder why this elderly woman is burning paper money in the middle of the road instead of by the roadside. It is quite dangerous to squat in the middle of the road
The suited gentleman has left, and I have never known his name, nor have I ever discovered what is hidden beneath the driver's seat
I got back on the bus, avoided the elderly lady, and continued towards the next stop, the library. However, just halfway through the journey, I suddenly jolted, thinking to myself, this is not good!
When she confidently said that she was a ghost, I thought she was joking, but she was speaking the truth
"In other words, Ge Yu's ID card has only been given to me?" I asked
"Little driver, you seem very nervous?" She tossed a coin and smiled at me
I stopped the car at the coking plant terminal, sighed, and with my hands clasped, murmured: Christ Jesus, all the gods in heaven, please grant your protection
I thought for a moment and said: How about this, sir, shall we step aside to talk?
"So, it was Master Zhou Bingkun who informed you about this matter, which is why you came to find me tonight?" I asked tentatively
With my eyes closed in contemplation, I suddenly heard a voice beside me: "Hehe, what are you doing?"
I was lost in thought, and my mind wandered while driving. In the moment I regained my senses, I was startled and slammed on the brakes, for right in the middle of the suburban road, there was an elderly woman squatting on the ground, burning joss paper.
I was taken aback and hadn't spoken yet when he sat down next to me. Strangely enough, ever since he got on the bus, I went directly to the picking garden at the next stop, and before long, I returned to the main station of the house store.
He waved at me, signaling to get in the car. I felt numb all over, barely having the strength to press the brake, but in the end, I gritted my teeth and stepped on the brake, opened the car door, and a middle-aged man in a suit got in. Before he could insert a coin, I directly said: "You can do whatever you want, just don't touch my family, alright?"
I was still in shock, thinking to myself that I had almost committed murder
At this point, he paused and said: "You are different; you did not embezzle these assets and are not greedy. It is precisely because I have seen this that I want to help you. If you had worn rings and necklaces, then I would not be able to save you."
The lady who took my bus tonight is none other than Ge Yu on my ID card
Continue with it, Ge Yu will not harm you for the time being. Let me investigate for a while longer. By the way, give me Ge Yu's ID card.
He said: Zhou Bingkun did not die, it was because he listened to my advice, so he only lost a finger. As for Huang Xuewen, he did not believe my words and accused me of being a fraud for money, which is why he died. It is not that I did not save him, but rather that he was stubborn.
In other words, this is a dead person's identification card
I have kept it all along, thinking that I would wait for the owner to claim it, but little did I know that the owner of this ID card had long since passed away
I am very grateful to say: Thank you so much, if it weren't for meeting you, I might not have returned tonight
What? My eyes nearly fell to the ground! In other words, that generous and cheerful girl fabricated a lie for me with facts
I shook my head and said: I am someone who easily gets familiar with anyone, but I don't feel like I know that girl. However, just as I finished speaking, for some reason, I suddenly recalled that strange ID card
He nodded and said he understood. I asked what it was, and he replied that he wouldn't tell me for the time being, as knowing would be counterproductive. In any case, just don't open the driver's seat. What Zhou Bingkun told you is what I once advised him.
I escaped from that circular station
The suited gentleman said to me: "The one taking your bus tonight is her, the little girl who couldn't afford the fare is also her, just in her younger form."
Before leaving, I asked again: Uncle, Zhou Bingkun said never to open the driver's seat. Do you know what is hidden under the driver's seat?
I know that this moment may very well be the last second of my life, and perhaps tomorrow I will be on the front page of the newspaper: "26-year-old young man dies suddenly after driving a bus for a month, resting only three hours a day."
The bus's tires skidded on the ground for three to four meters before coming to a stop, and at that moment, the front of the bus was at most two feet away from that elderly woman
How do I say this? The suited gentleman said: I once investigated the cause of Ge Yu's death. Twelve years ago, she died unjustly by the roadside, having had her heart removed. Therefore, anyone with a corrupt soul, she will take action against and kill. The first three drivers all met their demise due to greed, having embezzled gold rings and necklaces for themselves.
The middle-aged man, without any unexpected divinity, calmly said to me: Keep going, you will not die tonight
A flash of realization struck my mind like a lightning bolt. I swiftly opened the drawer and found the identification card belonging to someone named Ge Yu. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be her
The old lady did not lift her head and said: My son had a car accident and died right here. Every year at this time, I burn some money for him to spend.
This is the second time committing a taboo, stopping before reaching the station, and then encountering Ge Yu again
As events have unfolded to this moment, it has gradually become clear. I ask: What should I do now
"So did my grandmother die because of Ge Yu?" I hurriedly pressed for more information
Seeing my astonishment, the man in the suit quietly asked me: "Haven't you noticed that girl looks very familiar?"
A young woman in her twenties boarded the front door of the bus, dressed in a form-fitting leather jacket, very fashionable, and with long hair cascading down her shoulders in an extremely seductive manner. She was none other than Ge Yu
After getting out of the car, my legs felt weak, and I could barely stand. Just as I was about to speak to him after he got out, he waved his hand and said directly: "You don't need to rush to ask; I came to find you tonight."
The elder shook his head and said: You need not thank me. The Buddha teaches that helping others is helping oneself. In saving you, I am also saving myself. You need to cooperate with me in doing a few things, so that in the future, the bus drivers on Route 14 will not lose their lives. Otherwise, this turmoil will continue endlessly.
This uncle does not beat around the bush; he nodded and said: "Yes, she is a ghost"
