“This is…” Looking at the densely arranged grids, Jiang Cheng's breathing became rapid.

“This is what I got, the layout of that bus.” Lin Wan'er pointed to it, “These grids represent the seats. Some seats look empty, but there are things on them. If you sit on them rashly, it will trigger unknown supernatural events.”

Jiang Cheng knew this. What he was more curious about were the seats marked in red.

“This is the fastest route to the front of the bus, calculated.” Lin Wan'er saw Jiang Cheng's doubts and explained, “Standing is not allowed on the bus, otherwise you will be targeted by other passengers. Each time you get on the bus, you can follow the seats you have sat in before, move forward a little, and then find a seat to sit down again.”

“Do you remember Xia Tan?” Lin Wan'er's tone changed as she looked at Jiang Cheng and said seriously, “We have confirmed the location where Xia Tan escaped from the bus, near the co-pilot's seat.”

“As long as you find the gap Xia Tan opened, you can also get rid of the bus.”

“Get rid of…” Jiang Cheng was a little surprised. Wasn’t the goal to rush to the driver’s seat and kill the old president? To eliminate evil, one must eradicate the root, otherwise who knows if that bus will come looking for them again while they are sleeping one day.

Hearing this, a hint of struggle flashed in Lin Wan'er's eyes. After a moment, she reached out and touched Jiang Cheng's head, as she had done long ago. "Xiao Cheng," she said, "Some things are not as simple as you think. What you need to do is to live well."

“Live in deception and lies, like before?” Jiang Cheng sneered, brushing away Lin Wan'er's hand. He still found it difficult to let go of being deceived.

“That’s all I can say. Next, I’ll send you away.” Lin Wan’er got out of the car, ignored Huai Yi’s attentiveness, and walked alone to the driver's seat, opened the door, and sat down.

After Fatty and Huai Yi also got into the car, Lin Wan'er started the car and drove forward. Soon, they arrived behind the dense crowd.

However, this time, there was one more person behind the crowd.

The man in the cowboy hat raised his arm when he saw a car coming and snapped his fingers in the direction of the crowd.

“Snap!”

The next moment, the people in the very middle of the crowd seemed to receive some kind of order, and their steps stopped simultaneously.

“Snap!”

“Snap!”

“Snap!”

…

As the cowboy man snapped his fingers faster and faster, the movements of the people in the middle and the overall crowd became significantly disjointed.

Gradually, they broke away from the overall crowd, and a passage was left in the crowd, just enough for them to drive through.

“We have to go through.” Lin Wan’er leaned back in her seat, looked ahead, and said in an unquestionable tone.

“Understood!”

Huai Yi was filled with considerable awe for this woman. Although he didn’t know how strong the woman’s ability was, the fact that she ranked higher than Jiang Cheng was enough to explain the problem.

As the car drove past the cowboy man, the three of Jiang Cheng couldn’t help but look at the man. The man gently pulled down his hat, blocking his eyes.

His hat was a size smaller than his head, looking like a cheap child's toy, but his movements were so formal and elegant. He lowered his head slightly, his hand on the brim of his hat, as if paying tribute to someone.

The car drove into the crowd. Fatty remembered what Lin Wan’er said, that these trapped people could not be saved. He couldn’t help but turn his head, wanting to see the faces of these people clearly.

“Holy shit…” Huai Yi, who was also looking out the window, couldn’t help but change his expression.

He saw an extremely terrifying scene. These people, like zombies, had unusually old faces, and from the back, they looked like people from two different eras.

For example, from the back, whether it was their clothes or the exposed skin, they looked like people around 20 years old, but when you looked at their faces, their appearance and skin condition were that of 50-year-olds.

They even saw a little girl carrying a pink schoolbag, but with the face of a middle-aged woman.

Everyone was expressionless, their eyes empty, mechanically and numbly moving forward, as if walking into time, allowing the knife of the years to leave traces on their faces.

What was even more terrifying was that as the car continued to move forward, the closer they got to the girl leading the way, the more severe the erosion became. Some people turned into senile old men, and some even died of old age directly.

But even the people who died of old age, their bodies still didn’t fall down, continuing to repeat the mechanical movements. The front halves of their bodies began to rot at a speed visible to the naked eye. Their faces and features rotted into a mass, their ears drooped down, and disgusting red and yellow mucus flowed out. Then, pale bones were exposed.

Huai Yi had the illusion of driving in the river of time. In a short period of time, he witnessed the entire process of a person from youth to old age and then to decay after death.

They were getting closer and closer to the girl leading the way. Fatty uncontrollably held his breath.

Perhaps it was psychological, but they noticed that the space around the girl seemed to be a little distorted.

“Where… where do we go next?” Huai Yi suddenly panicked. He realized that Lin Wan’er had no intention of slowing down at all, and in front of them was that strange girl.

Jiang Cheng silently lowered his head and fastened his seat belt tighter.

“Hold on tight.” After Lin Wan’er reminded them, she hardly gave them time to react before slamming on the accelerator. As a strong sense of pushing back came, this SUV was like a beast awakening from slumber, carrying the force of ten thousand jun, crashing towards the girl who had her back to them.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment, Jiang Cheng’s slightly frowning expression, Huai Yi’s gaping expression, Fatty’s momentarily panicked expression, and Lin Wan’er’s sharp eyebrows.

The images flashed frame by frame, like playing a movie. At the moment the car hit the girl, the light and shadow in front of them flowed, and when they opened their eyes again, they had returned to the previous road.

The car was driving smoothly, and finally found a quiet place, leaned on the side of the road, and slowly stopped.

Fatty and Huai Yi gasped for breath. According to their experience, they shouldn’t be so afraid, but the fact proved that facing those strange and incomprehensible things, that sense of helplessness was the most deadly.

“I’m leaving, take care of yourselves.” Lin Wan’er left these words, got out of the car, and walked straight to another car parked nearby, opened the back door, and sat in.

Without any hesitation, that car turned around and drove away quickly.

It seemed that this woman had arranged everything. The other car parked here was also prepared for her.

Jiang Cheng watched Lin Wan’er leave. Only after the car had completely disappeared did he touch his pocket. Inside was a photo, left to him by that woman.
