Chapter 10: Ghost bus curtain call
"How to get out from here?" After hearing Su Qingxing say this, Mr. Chen breathed a sigh of relief. Because he really believed what Su Qingxing said, since Su Qingxing said he could leave...
Then you can leave.
Chen Xiongbing is an 82-year-old man. Even in the world of terror, his physical condition cannot keep up with this fast-paced escape.
It is not easy to stick to this point.
Let an old man who should enjoy his life come to the underworld for a trial, especially such an old man who has had a lot of military exploits, in Su Qingxing's opinion, it is a bit cruel, so it is inevitable to take more care during the trial process .
"Yeah, the previous sentence of bangs reminded me." Su Qingxing looked back at the bangs that turned into paper and fell into madness, "He said that nothing in the world is static, Time will always change.”
"Then why does the car's route never change?" Su Qing put down Sisi in his arms and let him circle the ground alone, "Have you thought about it, sir?"
"Because, this is the only road here." Chen Xiongbing was stunned, "No matter how you drive, you will eventually return to that station... Ah, there is a station in front!"
In front of the bus, a familiar station slowly appeared, and they drove around again.
"That's because no one has ever done this before." Su Qingxing sat back in the driver's seat.
At this time, the speed of the bus has slowed down, and the familiar brake sound is heard.
Even the doors of the bus have "creaked" open!
But at this moment, Su Qingxing suddenly gripped the steering wheel tightly, pulled hard to the right, and used the greatest strength of his body to slam the accelerator down!
"Buzz!!"
The bus made an unpleasant and harsh sound, but in the end, under the control of Su Qingxing, it crashed straight towards the station!
"Boom!"
When the bus collided with the facilities in the station, Su Qingxing and Chen Xiongbing couldn't help but closed their eyes.
But apart from the initial sound, Su Qingxing did not hear any other sound, and after a while, he slowly opened his eyes.
The bus is still moving forward, but this time there is no bump in the carriage, and the ride is very smooth.
It's just that the place where the bus is located is no longer the never-ending mountain road, but darkness... yes, darkness.
In addition to the darkness, Su Qingxing could no longer see anything, not even a shred of starlight!
The front is dark, the left and right are dark, and the rear is dark too!
But even so, the bus was moving forward smoothly.
"It seems that I guessed right." Su Qingxing leaned on the driver's seat, "but now the second problem arises, which direction should we drive? Are we driving in the right direction?"
"Ow! Ow! Ow—"
Just when Su Qingxing was confused, Sisi suddenly howled several times in a certain direction, and in order to attract Su Qingxing's attention, she even scratched the floor of the compartment with her feet.
"Going in that direction?"
"Ouch!"
Although it is a little strange to follow the directions of the small animals, but in the face of the current situation, Su Qingxing suddenly felt that Sisi may be the only one in this car that knows the direction...
"Then listen to you!" Su Qingxing smiled at Sisi, although he had never driven a bus before and didn't know the specific method, but as long as the bus didn't turn off, he would turn Turn the steering wheel, step on the accelerator, and drive in the direction Sisi pointed!
"Where is this! I want to get off!"
At this moment, the bangs, which had become papery, rushed out. Because the door of the bus has been open since just now, Su Qingxing was also holding the steering wheel tightly, so when he saw this scene, a blue flash instantly appeared in his eyes, and he freed up one hand to attack the bangs directly!
But before Su Qingxing made his move, two figures moved in advance!
"Ow!" Sisi let out a long howl, then stretched out her claws and pounced on it.
At the same time, Mr. Chen, who had been resting next to him, even raised his crutches and pulled out a thin bladed sword from the crutches like a movie, in the direction of the paper piercing Stab!
The next second, Sisi's claws pressed the Zhizhuren's left leg, and Mr. Chen's rapier stabbed Zhijiren's neck, nailing the bangs that turned into Zhijiren. In place, unable to move.
"I didn't expect that I would find this opportunity in the end, cough, cough, cough!" With just a few seconds of action, Mr. Chen was out of breath and his steps were shaking, "So every morning It is also useful to go to the park to practice swordsmanship."
"The old man really hides it." Su Qingxing looked at Sisi, who was moving quickly, with some surprise, and the last trick that Mr. Chen had been hiding for a long time, "It seems that Liu Hai has been smart all the way, but he A lot of people are wrong."
"This is a dream...this is a dream...this is a dream..." The bangs that were pinned to the ground continued to chant, as if thinking that he had not woken up from the dream.
"Squeak "
The bus brakes again, but this time at the terminal.
Su Qingxing got up from the driver's seat, all the power of the bus was cut off in an instant, and even the engine was turned off.
Through the bus window, the outside is no longer pitch black, but a gray world, which looks a bit like the false illusion Su Qingxing created for Liu Hai before.
"It's here." Su Qingxing knew that so far, his work this time has been successfully completed.
"Dead soul number MS7044, bangs." Su Qing walked in front of the bangs that turned into paper and looked at the ugly and inferior face in front of her, "Death time April 4, 2018, Suicide, died of a short-circuit explosion of photocopying equipment. Sprinkled sulfuric acid on women during his lifetime, committed suicide to escape punishment, and still has karma after death..."
"Today's trial in the underworld failed, and I was transferred to the eighteenth **** of the underworld, and I will never be reborn!"
Su Qingxing's last word landed, and the originally calm floor of the carriage suddenly began to crack, and a scorching **** full of lava appeared. The fire of **** had just ignited, and the Zhi Zha Ren who touched the flame instantly let out a piercing scream.
The fire continued to spread, and the paper stick man was burned into a burning man in the shortest possible time!
"Dumb... Who are you!" In the flames of the last hell, Liu Hai seemed to finally realize that this was not a dream.
Not long ago, bangs stabbed the utility knife into the throat of the mute.
Now, Su Qingxing sent him to hell.
"I am Su Qingxing, an ordinary worker, but some people call me... 'the guide of the underworld'." Su Qingxing watched the burning paper stick man fall into the lava of hell, and finally waved goodbye with a smile .
However, when the bangs fell to hell, another white figure jumped down with the bangs and merged with him into the boundless lava sea...
"That's...Chen Fangfang?" Because the three of them had become papery people, Chen Xiongbing, who was slightly presbyopic, made a little judgment, and then asked unsurely, "She and Liu Hai are not Doesn't it fit? Why do you want to jump with him?"
"Human beings are actually very complicated, and sometimes they really don't know what they are thinking in the depths of their hearts." The body can't bear the fire of **** at all, "Dead soul number MS7046, Chen Fangfang, the trial failed..."
The cracked earth gradually restored to the ordinary car floor, Liu Hai and Chen Fangfang, these two people seemed to have never appeared in this world.
"What a pity, Chen Fangfang actually..." Su Qingxing wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.
Since Chen Fangfang voluntarily jumped off the lava with her bangs, maybe for her... this is also a way to escape forever from the horror world.
"Then next..." Su Qingxing looked at Chen Xiongbing, then at Xu Yun, who was crying because she became a stubborn person, and finally at the original one who followed Sisi beside him.
But Sisi is gone.
When he discovered this, Su Qingxing suddenly felt a sense of emptiness in his heart, as if something important was suddenly missing from his accustomed life.
Su Qingxing guessed that Sisi may be a "prop" in this terrifying world, a "key" to help the testers guide the way, but for Su Qingxing, he really wanted Let Sisi become her important partner.
I will protect the Sisi in front of me.
Sisi who will play cute and roll in her arms.
The hair is soft and will rub and rub on the palm of your hand...
Did it just disappear?
"What's wrong?" Hearing that Su Qingxing had not spoken, Chen Xiongbing asked a little strangely.
"It's nothing." Su Qingxing took his eyes back from the ground, and a small smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, covering up the small fluctuations in his heart, "I'll send you guys out of here."
Speaking, Su Qingxing beckoned to Xu Yun who was still sitting in the back row, and the fluffy paper puppet just flew up from the seat, all the way to Su Qingxing.
Su Qingxing stretched out his finger and lightly tapped Zhi Zanren's forehead, a blue light spot instantly merged into Zhi Zanren's body.
And then, Xu Yun, who had been a stubborn man for a long time, turned back to her original form little by little.
"Changed, changed back?" Xu Yun looked at her hands with tears in her eyes, and she couldn't believe that the nightmare she had always had was coming to an end.
Seeing the woman in front of her laughing and crying, but the pear blossoms with rain, Su Qingxing sighed and said, "Your life is not over yet, so even if I am the guide, I will You can't be judged."
"Qingxing..." Xu Yun cried and looked at Su Qingxing, but hesitated.
"Miss Xu, you should be able to go back to your original world after following this lantern." Su Qingxing raised his finger, and a blue paper lantern appeared quietly, floating in Xu In front of Yun.
"But please remember that if Miss Xu commits a sin that cannot be eliminated during her life, then one day we will meet here."
"At that time, maybe I will personally send Miss Xu... to hell."
Under the bright blue light, although Su Qingxing had a smile on his face, Xu Yun couldn't help shivering and took a step back.
"Let's go, the longer you stay here, the more adverse effects it will have on the body of living people." After Su Qingxing explained again, he saw that Xu Yun was no longer watching Instead, he left the bus slightly terrified by the blue paper lantern and rushed all the way into the gray fog.
"It seems that I can neither go to **** nor go back to the world." Mr. Chen has been watching Su Qingxing's work, so he understands a little, "Then where can I go."
"Go to a special place." Two lanterns appeared beside Su Qingxing, and the blue light spots floating from the lanterns surrounded him and Mr. Chen, "There, you will I met many former friends, some of them died just like you, some will be slightly earlier, and some... have been waiting there since the war."
"Anyway, sir, you should meet friends there." Looking at the old man in front of him, Su Qingxing bent slightly, "After meeting, give me a message... It's hard work."
Su Qingxing has never been to the human world, but has read many books on human history.
In the process of human history, Mr. Chen is only a small part, but it is precisely because there are too many people like this, who would rather be contaminated by sin and protect the country and the people around them , so history can move forward so smoothly...
Even the guides from the underworld never call this history "criminal karma".
"Are we going to meet?" Mr. Chen didn't know what to think, his eyes suddenly turned red, "Okay, okay, this is very good, it's not in vain for me to support this bus. for so long!"
"Let's go, go now, go and meet those old men! I've been waiting for this moment, I've waited...for too long."
"Please."
Surrounded by blue light spots, the figures of Su Qingxing and Mr. Chen gradually disappeared.
A story about the bus, the curtain call.
×××××
After Mr. Chen was well settled, Su Qingxing, who had finished his work, reappeared in the streets of the ghost town.
This ghost town has schools, hospitals, neighborhoods, malls, parks and even a mental hospital... Aside from the hazy skies and lifeless streets, it's not much different from many cities.
Perhaps the biggest difference is that the inhabitants of ghost towns are all dead souls!
The former Zhang Biao and many ghosts brought back by Su Qingxing are arranged to live in ghost towns, and will arrange some work regularly, such as guest appearances in various horror worlds...
When the working period reaches a certain length, they can go to reincarnation and reincarnate as human beings.
This is also why many of the ghosts Su Qingxing encountered during the trial were familiar with him and were able to show the highest respect.
All the way along the straight ghost town street, even in Su Qingxing's eyes, the street seems to be as long as it will never see the point.
However, Su Qingxing had no interest in the scenery at the end of the street. After walking forward for ten minutes, he stopped in front of a shop that looked like a bar.
There is a neon sign at the entrance of the bar, which reads "Ghost Town Management Office" in five big characters.
It's just that the lamps with the words "Ghost" and "Handle" seem to have been damaged, and only the word "City Management" is still flashing with colorful neon lights.
In addition to the street lights on both sides of the street, this is the first time that there are other lights in the ghost town.
Su Qingxing didn't knock on the door, but just reached out and pushed it away.
Although it looks like a bar, the interior of the "Ghost Town Management Office" looks more like an ordinary three-bedroom and one-bedroom. As soon as you enter the door, there is a living room with sofas and a large dining table. There are several doors leading to various places.
After walking straight to a door on the left, Su Qingxing knocked on the door a few times. Since there was no response from the other side, he turned the doorknob, opened the door and walked in.
"Cinnabar, how long has it been since you cleaned the room?!" As soon as he entered the door, Su Qingxing was shocked by the appearance of the whole room.
There is a bed in the corner of the room, but there are nearly a hundred books stacked on the bed, which looks more like a bookshelf that looks like a bed.
The floor is also full of books, architectural drawings, and many hand-painted landscape paintings.
There is a super large desk on the other side of the room, all three large-screen computers are turned on, and some programs that Su Qingxing can't understand at all are running.
The three walls around the desk are also lined with bookshelves, piled with books of various types and fields, making people feel that the people living in this room can survive just by reading books.
"Cinnabar?"
The owner of this room is sleeping on the desk, wearing a random plaid shirt and jeans, and his long red hair is slightly curled, which is casually coiled on the top of his head and fixed with a pencil. on.
"Cinnabar?" Su Qingxing sighed, walked over and pushed his colleague and friend's shoulder, "I remember the last time we met, you promised me that the bed would function as it should. ."
"Qingxing?" The young man known as "cinnabar" finally woke up, and when he raised his head in a daze, the lines of his clothes were still printed on his cheeks.
He fumbled around on the desk for a while, then found a pair of red glasses and put them on. After yawning comfortably, he said lazily to Su Qingxing: "Our The big model worker is finally back!"
Cinnabar looks very thin, a little bigger than Su Qingxing, like a twenty-five- or six-year-old house dweller who looks good.
"Sorry." Su Qingxing also smiled embarrassedly, "I'm so sorry to let you go to greet that big man in the underworld alone."
"It's all right!" Zhu Sha waved his hand with great loyalty, "We are brothers, who is with whom!"
"Also, the underworld boss is here!" Zhu Sha sat cross-legged in his chair very comfortably, "I heard that the boss also named him to supervise and guide the way. work, you come back just in time, and this arduous task will be handed over to you!"
Su Qingxing: “…”
"By the way, I heard that the underworld boss is none other than the Death God!" Zhu Sha's expression was a little excited, "This is the first time I have seen such a big man!"
Su Qingxing: “…”
