Chapter 8: The Escape from the Haunted Car
"How did you know again? Uncle Xu, didn't you just become a ghost? How do you know so much?"
I have instead become her subordinate, isn't this just ridiculous? I am 20 years old, and she is only 10! 10 years old! Why do I feel like I have become a 3-year-old child in front of her, both in terms of intelligence and emotional intelligence, being ruthlessly trampled upon.
I have only just become a ghost, how would I know? Uncle Xu said helplessly
Even Uncle Xu was left speechless.
I said proudly: "How about that, impressive isn't it"
An Yalin displayed a look of disdain: "You all in the dormitory are just a bunch of lewd losers"
Ahem, well... could you teach me? I am filled with anticipation, even though the person in question is a 10-year-old kid, she seems to have an air of experience about her.
Do you not believe me
Long-distance bus drivers typically have 2 drivers, alternating shifts; otherwise, fatigue driving can easily lead to accidents. The one currently driving is a seemingly kind middle-aged man, who smiled at me when I got on the bus. For some reason, this kind smile sent a chill down my spine
As for it? An Yalin was once again conquered by my loser aura
"Of course, children from poor families mature early. The chicken soup you had at my grandfather's house was made by me." I felt a surge of pride.
"Why should I cook?" Of course I won't do it; I've been busy all day and now they want me to cook.
"Come on, how do you resemble a 10-year-old?" Although I was dissatisfied verbally, I still dragged my weary little body into the kitchen
What a foolish and incompetent person, unable to even employ the simplest tricks to win over a girl, An Yalin scoffed disdainfully
An Yalin comfortably rode on my back, and we bickered all the way. On the road, we encountered a kind-hearted delivery uncle who gave us a lift. I believe that the chubby uncle was so enthusiastic because of An Yalin's presence
"Call me An Yalin," she said, propping her head up as she gazed out at the fleeting scenery. "This is the fragrance of a woman's body; you have yet to encounter a woman, have you?"
"Damn it, I knew it would be useless," I said angrily while holding An Yalin.
"The illness has recurred, it's time to take the medicine." An Yalin said with a cold expression
However, beneath his feet oozed a dark, watery blood, which was not fresh; fresh blood is pink and does not have such a foul odor. The driver's bare arms, exposed by his short sleeves, bore faint patches of livor mortis.
I repeatedly scanned the passengers in the car, the baby soundly asleep in the grandmother's arms, the men and women resting against their seats, with nothing unusual; everything was so harmonious
The car came to a stop with a creak, and the front door opened
I am tired, let's take a break, you go and cook. An Yalin lay on the sofa, sipping juice in small sips
"Uncle Xu, what should I do?" My voice trembled, damn it, why do I keep encountering ghosts all day long!
Through the rearview mirror from the driver's seat, I saw his pupils suddenly constrict sharply. What ghosts fear the most are things with strong yang energy, and the urine of a young boy is definitely something they do not wish to come into contact with
There exists a marvelous sense of connection between ghosts; just now, when I noticed that driver, I knew something was wrong with him
Oh? An Yalin looked at me in surprise.
We will talk about it later, I am not in the mood right now
"You idiot, you got off the car for no reason, where are you going to find another one now?" An Yalin completely ignored my question
An Yalin directed me to move this and that, exhausting me to the point of near collapse, but it was finally accomplished
Uncle Xu glared at me and said, "Why do you care so much like a clay Buddha crossing the river? That driver should have been dead long ago; his corpse has been possessed by a vengeful spirit. A vengeful spirit capable of possessing a corpse must have been dead for at least several decades, and we cannot contend with it."
I said that the driver is a vengeful spirit, but those passengers do not believe me, hum!
Oh, very well
Damn, it hit my sore spot all of a sudden. I am 20 years old, and I have only held hands with Wang Yajie; I have never even kissed or hugged, let alone rolled in the sheets.
Upon hearing my loud shout, the driver paid no heed, merely cracking a contemptuous smile before closing the car door and driving away with 48 people on board. A massive ghostly shadow loomed intermittently over the bus.
It must be said that although An Yalin was born into wealth, she does not spend money extravagantly; every penny is used wisely. She has certainly inherited Uncle Xu's shrewdness and composure, demonstrating a strong ability to manage finances at such a young age
Aren't you a ghost? Don't you know about ghostly matters?
Did my dad not give you 10 million? Rent an apartment near the school, and buy some appliances and other necessities. By the way, can you cook
I gently nodded my head
From Uncle Xu, I learned that An Yalin does not need to attend school because she is too intelligent; all her knowledge is self-taught. Having a computer and books is sufficient, and she does not require a teacher
Moving into a new house, there are too many miscellaneous items to purchase. Anyway, I am just following An Yalin around; whatever she says to buy, I pay for it
I suppressed the tremor in my heart and wanted to test the driver. "Master, how far have we gone already?"
It is truly unfortunate that even a little brat is bullying me
I asked several times in a row, but the driver did not respond. I exchanged a glance with Uncle Xu and felt a sense of unease rising in my heart
It is acceptable, slightly larger than my home garden
I am only 10 years old, what do you think? An Yalin glanced at me.
I have never seen an older brother like you
How would I know? Xu Shu said with a sense of frustration
"Yang Yun, I feel that something is not quite right with this car." Uncle Xu had been silent for a long time in my shadow, and when he finally spoke, he nearly startled me.
Although it was early in the morning, the small vehicle was already bustling with people. I have the ability to perceive both the living and the dead, and I can distinguish between them at a glance. At this moment, the curtains in the vehicle were not drawn, and the bright sunlight was shining inside, making it impossible for any spirits to wander about.
"Is it necessary to see the target in order to sense it? Then, has he sensed you?" I continued to question Uncle Xu.
What do you mean? I was immediately displeased at that time
Alright, everything is almost prepared. You can go buy a car tonight and that will be sufficient
"Idiot, squat down." An Yalin's cold voice came through
Yalin, where does the fragrance on you come from? Is it from the shampoo? The body wash?
... ...
An Yalin : `` ... ... ''
"Don't you think the negative energy in this car is a bit heavy?" Uncle Xu's words also awakened me; no wonder I felt a sense of breathlessness when I first got in the car, as the clash of negative energy against the most vigorous positive energy of the breath would lead to difficulty in breathing
But now I have money! I paid for 2 years all at once. Damn, I feel like I've suddenly become a wealthy tycoon. When that thick stack of cash was "slapped" onto the landlord's chubby hand, I instantly felt an overwhelming aura of power, my whole body shining with dazzling golden light.
I spent the entire afternoon following Anyalin. The house was personally selected by her, featuring ample natural light, simple and elegant decor, and all new furniture and appliances. It spans 100 square meters and is situated in a very good environment, though the price is a bit high, with a monthly rent of 2,000.
The journey from the mountainous area to Nanjing City is quite a distance; even taking a long-distance bus takes a whole day. Therefore, before boarding, I made sure to bring plenty of food and drinks. Even if I were to go hungry, I certainly could not let Yalin, this little ancestor, go hungry.
Uncle Xu solemnly said to me
"Are you your school?" An Yalin stood beside me with an aloof demeanor
"What is useless?" An Yalin said with a frown after I woke her up
We should get off the vehicle while nothing strange has happened yet. Uncle Xu, with his rich experience and having been a great businessman in his lifetime, acts decisively and possesses great skills.
I subconsciously looked over, "In the early hours of last night, a long-distance bus numbered 144 heading towards the Qimen mountainous area unfortunately fell off a cliff, and all 50 people on board perished..."
"By the way, Yalin, try not to open the curtains during the day," I shouted towards the living room, as Uncle Xu cannot be exposed to sunlight
Even Uncle Xu can only hide in my shadow and dare not come out
What is going on? I lowered my voice to communicate with Uncle Xu
I was certainly moved to tears in an instant, as the disparity between people is so great that it leaves me feeling utterly ashamed
Uncle Xu, do you mean there are ghosts in the car? But I haven't seen anything; there are only normal humans here
The drowsiness of everyone on the bus was dispelled by my loud shout. I quickly picked up An Yalin and hurried to the front door, warning them before exiting the bus, "The driver is a malevolent spirit, you all need to get off the bus quickly."
No wonder the geniuses of this world are not understood by others I let out a long sigh
Where do I live
As I watched the pink blood slowly trickling down An Yalin's delicate white fingers, my heart felt like it was crawling with a thousand ants, and I was filled with anxiety... The crimson pupils suddenly appeared, and sharp fangs involuntarily protruded from the corners of my mouth...
"Master, please stop for a moment, my daughter needs to use the restroom," I shouted
"In any case, I feel that the atmosphere in the car is too heavy with阴气, and it is already able to contend with阳气 on equal terms." Uncle Xu spoke with a serious tone
Looking at Uncle Xu's ethereal figure, I felt a heavy heart; he would eventually have to leave. I will take care of An Yalin in place of Uncle Xu.
After much effort and various transfers, I finally arrived at the school, Nanjing University of Science and Technology
"Hurry up and rent a place, I certainly do not want to be out on the streets tonight," An Yalin said淡淡地说道.
We may have boarded a ghost car, and I suddenly felt restless, my heart racing. It was at that moment that a putrid smell of blood caught my attention, as I am very sensitive to blood.
Call me brother
Buzz! Suddenly, my mind was in a roar. Damn, what I am doing now is the 144 bus! This circular mountain bus number is unique; one bus number designates one bus!
You can stay in my dormitory, haha. I had a mischievous smile on my face
They will not believe it, anyway, as long as we are fine, Yang Yun, remember this: in the future, when your abilities are insufficient, do not think of others. When in poverty, one should focus on self-cultivation; when prosperous, one should help the world. You should have heard this before. Keep this proverb in mind well
You are diverting the topic
What do you, a little brat from a wealthy family, know? I have yet to personally handle so many Mao Zedong notes, and this feeling is simply exhilarating
Isn't the craftsmanship excellent? It's at a master level, indeed
The old hanging small television on the bus emitted a dull buzzing sound, and then the image switched to the morning news, displaying visuals without any sound
I do not know, he has been dead for so many years, his power is beyond my comparison. A vengeful spirit is different from me; I will eventually be reincarnated. However, a vengeful spirit has given up on reincarnation and chosen to become a wandering ghost, harboring great resentment at the time of death. Vengeful spirits tend to enjoy killing, feeding on human flesh.
"It's nothing." It turned out that she accidentally cut her hand while peeling an apple
"Hiss!" An Yalin let out a soft cry, and I hurried out of the kitchen, "What happened?"
But what about the passengers on this vehicle? I felt a pang of compassion
Your grandfather!
As it is now early morning, the other passengers are all engulfed in drowsiness; no one, except for me, notices this silent news, not even An Yalin, who has dozed off, leaning against my shoulder.
Following the scent, my gaze was fixed on the driver, who was currently focused intently on driving, appearing very dedicated to his work
"Good." An Yalin did not engage in a verbal spar with me; it seems she is truly tired and has no energy left to argue with me.
Where is it wrong
