Chapter 8, A Desperate Gamble

Dark Small Medium Large Original Scroll to Bottom

After the main force gathered, Luo Haosheng naturally walked at the forefront as the protagonist. Ye Xiang tightly held Jiang Youlin's hand, following behind. At this moment, as he walked alongside so many people, his fear was considerably alleviated. As for whether Du Yan could escape death on the bus, only heaven knows.

"You should stay here." Jiang Youlin said this, and then, holding hands with Ye Xiang, they got off the bus

The circumstances surrounding the deaths of these two individuals remain a complete mystery. According to the script, when they were discovered, both displayed expressions of extreme fear, clearly indicating that they had seen something terrifying

At this moment, Jiang Youlin remained silent, gazing at Ye Xiang. He knew that what she was about to say was a line of utmost importance.

Luo Haosheng was momentarily very hesitant, unsure of what to say.

He suddenly raised his head, only to find it was Jiang Youlin

Ye felt utterly despondent at this moment. He was even contemplating simply staying on the bus as it was.

After much contemplation, it is indeed difficult to reach a decision

Let us simply hike down the mountain

"You need to calm down..." Ye could clearly feel that his lines had increased significantly compared to the first act

In fact, there is a third option, which is to descend the mountain alone without following either side. However, he would abandon this course of action without a second thought, as it is far too dangerous. How many characters in horror films meet a tragic end simply because they are alone

Luo Haosheng ultimately said: "Well, everyone can decide for themselves. I believe that perhaps it would be better to descend the mountain. After all ... ... "

Staying on the bus, along with those thirteen elderly individuals, there are only about fourteen people in total... At that time, on this desolate bus...

Stay behind or go down the mountain

If the murderer is still nearby, we cannot continue to stay here overnight

The surrounding passengers began to express their thoughts one after another. Some said that they were too old to walk on the night road and preferred to stay on the bus. Others firmly refused to sleep alongside a corpse, fearing that there might even be a murderer nearby. Soon, the group favoring to descend the mountain became the majority.

Just thinking about it feels terrifying

Ye wants to know, this is a matter of life and death! He had previously looked at the driver's corpse and could not discern any weapon capable of harming ghosts on him. Now, should he stay on this terrifying bus with the minority, or descend the mountain, inexplicably disappear, and then become a corpse?

Luo Haosheng wanted to break free, but Du Yan was unwilling to let go at all. This was the only survival strategy he could come up with at the moment; how could he give it up? He estimated that Luo Haosheng must have seen through his intentions. If he insisted on not letting go, then he would cling to him stubbornly. No matter what, he absolutely could not leave his side

Of course, it is also possible to consume the redemption tickets, and one can decide freely. However, all six members of the protagonist's team decided to descend the mountain. ... But ...! ... Xia Yun and Du Yan both died. ! Strangely, these two individuals inexplicably disappeared from the large group one after the other. The first to go missing was Du Yan. Subsequently, the male and female protagonists hurriedly searched for the two, and other passengers also helped in the search! However, during the search, Xia Yun also went missing! Then, the male and female protagonists hurriedly searched for the two again, and other passengers also helped in the search! However, during the search, Xia Yun also went missing!

Ye contemplated for a long time, yet still found no solution

You... don't do this, Du Yan...

Alas, it is only because everyone has a good relationship that this is the case; your actions are simply disrespecting me!

Something that should not exist, something that Ye wishes to remain unseen

According to the arrangement of the upcoming script, the people in the vehicle later divided into two factions, namely the Stay-at-home faction and the Downhill faction. In other words, a portion of the people remained in the vehicle while another portion went downhill. Among them, the protagonists Luo Haosheng and Kang Xueyan belong to the Downhill faction. The Stay-at-home faction consists entirely of middle-aged and elderly individuals. The Downhill faction has a significantly larger number of members, while the Stay-at-home faction only has thirteen individuals, all of whom are minor actors.

"Let go of me!" Luo Haosheng was clearly enraged, forcefully pushing Du Yan away and shouting, "Don't cling to me like this!"

Du Yan sat up from the ground, casting a gaze filled with deep resentment at Luo Haosheng's back, clearly wishing to rush up and confront him. However, in the end, he could only return to the vehicle and choose to stay behind. He had no choice but to consume a redemption ticket to alter the plot, becoming the fourteenth person to remain behind, and sat next to a middle-aged man. The others naturally did not attempt to persuade him, but instead insisted on descending the mountain as planned. The body could only be temporarily stored in the vehicle. The others naturally did not attempt to persuade him, but instead insisted on descending the mountain as planned. The body could only be temporarily stored in the vehicle

Moreover, someone has died here, who would still dare to sleep in this place

Du Yan was forcefully pushed away by him, stumbling and nearly falling. He knew that Luo Haosheng was pointing at his face and said, "Don't come near me, or people who don't know will think you are gay!"

"Come walk with me. As a girl, I might walk slowly, so you need to hold my hand tightly."

So... what should be done

Ye suddenly understood what Du Yan was thinking; the ghost had dragged him away without anyone noticing, so they couldn't possibly kill the male protagonist as well, could they? However, the rules were very clear: the protagonist was not absolute, and his halo might not be able to save Du Yan. He tightly wrapped his arm around Luo Haosheng's neck, pressing his body closely against him. In this position, if someone were to see them, it would likely raise questions about his sexual orientation.

He had a nightmare, and combined with the old beggar's words, he increasingly felt that this bus was indeed ominous, deciding to leave it behind. Once he made that decision, others quickly agreed.

At that moment, Luo Haosheng and Kang Xueyan returned. Luo Haosheng sighed and said, "It seems there are no losses in terms of property. If that is the case, it should be a vendetta, but how he was killed remains a complete mystery. At that time, I was the only one who heard the scream that came from the nightmare I woke up from..."

This is indeed difficult to decide

Yet Ye Xiang must make a decision as soon as possible. At this moment, the passengers have already begun discussing the issue of the murderer with the male and female protagonists.

Du Yan, who was standing beside, quickly said: "Youlin, actually I can hold your hand too..."

However, today was the very first time he met Jiang Youlin; they were mere strangers who had crossed paths, having exchanged only a few words, with their gazes meeting in the darkness. Why would she want to help him?

I see now

What that old beggar said is true

After everyone got off the bus, Du Yan ran to Luo Haosheng's side, suddenly reaching out to wrap his arm around his neck, and said: "Haosheng! Let's all go together!"

He then patted himself down, quickly distancing himself from Du Yan as if avoiding a plague. It was evident that if Du Yan continued to pursue him, he would certainly resort to the use of force.

Well then... since that is the case, we will descend the mountain. As for you all, we will send someone to come up the mountain to take you back tomorrow. The tour guide, with a face full of apologies, said: "I apologize on behalf of the travel agency for this unpleasant incident."

Finally, the bodies of the two individuals were discovered together

Jiang Youlin took a few deep breaths and then did not continue speaking

I ... ... I ... ... saw ... ... " Jiang Youlin only said these few words.

After Jiang Youlin finished speaking, Ye Xiang immediately understood!

Ye Xiang actually does not know whether his current choice is right or wrong. However, now... there is only one step after another, moving forward... until... the conclusion of this horror movie

The disappearance is inexplicable, and this is chilling. If one wishes to avoid it, the only option is to become part of the stay-behind faction, which might be somewhat better. However, there are only thirteen people in the stay-behind faction, all of whom are middle-aged or elderly, and they are of little help. ... Yet, if one descends the mountain together, the consequences may be unimaginable ...

At this moment, Ye was filled with gratitude towards Jiang Youlin. After all, she was saving her life!

Ye wants to know if she truly saw it, and it was not an act. Because the script for the first act did not require her to point forward with a fearful expression. She could not have foreseen the content of the second act's script. ... In other words, at that moment, Jiang Youlin, no, it should be said that the woman playing the role of Jiang Youlin, indeed saw it ...

However, at that moment, his hand was suddenly grasped by another fair hand

The female protagonist, Kang Xueyan, inquired of the male protagonist, Luo Haosheng: "Do you think the murderer is an outsider or one of the passengers in the car"

Although Jiang Youlin is not the female lead, she can be considered a secondary female character, closely related to the female lead, Kang Xueyan. Moreover, there is a possibility of a dramatic love triangle involving both the male and female leads. She can be regarded as an important character. ... Following her words may help avoid a disaster ...
