Chapter 1 The Last Train at Midnight
My name is Su Ren, I am 26 years old and I am a bus driver.
Bus drivers of this age are rare, so I became the youngest driver master in our fleet.
In the eyes of others, starting a pension career at such a young age is very unpromising, but I don’t think so.
Don't steal or rob, don't cheat, don't take, and eat based on your ability. There is nothing to be ashamed of.
But just half a month ago, something big happened to me!
A strange thing that made me want to escape from the convoy, but I didn't dare to escape from the convoy.
"According to the instructions above, there is a midnight last train from our station to Shan'ao Village. It only runs once a day. The salary is 800 yuan higher than other masters!"
Half a month ago, team captain Jin Suocheng held a driver's meeting, and he only said one thing at the meeting.
After hearing this, I felt a little strange. I only ran once a day, but my salary was actually higher than others. How could such a good thing exist in this world?
"Ahem. I wonder which of you is willing to drive this bus?"
Jin Suocheng cleared his throat and glanced at everyone in the room.
However, after hearing the words "last train at midnight", the faces of the senior drivers changed slightly, and no one spoke at the moment.
"I only make one trip a day, and the salary is 800 yuan higher. No one is trying to do this? If no one comes, then I'll do it!"
I saw that all the old masters were silent, thinking that they didn’t want to stay up late, so I didn’t think much about it.
Upon seeing this, Jin Suocheng's face showed joy, he handed a bunch of keys into my hand and said:
"You go to work tonight. Set off at twelve o'clock at night and drive bus 14, 9413."
"9413?"
I was a little stunned when I heard this. How could it be that car?
It has been nearly a year since I joined the company, and I have seen the 9413 on Route 14. It has always been parked in the corner of the parking lot and has never been moved.
At first I was a little surprised that this car was not used, but then an experienced driver in the team told me that the license plate of this car was not very auspicious, so no one wanted to drive it, so it just sat there.
But this is true, 9413, narrow escape from death, who is willing to take such a big risk by driving?
"Young man, you're not so superstitious at such a young age, are you? That's great. I'll apply for another two hundred yuan subsidy from above. In this way, you can get a thousand yuan more than others in a month. I have already inspected the car during the day. Yes, the fuel is full. Don’t forget to set off at twelve o’clock in the evening. Remember, it must not be too early or too late!”
Jin Suocheng patted me on the shoulder, as if I was optimistic about you.
"I know the rules of being on time and on time."
Time is the professional ethics of bus drivers. I didn’t doubt that there was any conspiracy in Jin Suocheng’s words.
At the end of the conference, all the bus drivers left.
But I always feel that those people look at me a little strangely.
Vaguely, I seemed to hear someone whispering that this man-eating bus was about to start driving again.
"Isn't it just the last train at midnight? Are we all so cautious? Even if the road is difficult, I just have to be careful."
I still have a lot of confidence in my driving skills. After all, I am young and in my prime time, so my reaction speed is not comparable to that of older masters.
Although I felt strange from the attitude of the drivers, I obviously didn't realize the seriousness of the problem.
While having dinner in the cafeteria, Zhou Mao found me.
Zhou Mao is also a driver in the team and has a pretty good relationship with me.
"Brother, are you stupid? It's taboo to drive at midnight, let alone going to Shan'ao Village."
Zhou Mao whispered, his face full of solemnity.
I saw that Zhou Mao seemed to have something in his words and put the bowl in his hand on the table.
"Brother Zhou, it turns out you are so superstitious too, isn't it just driving? What else is there to be taboo about? Is it possible that there are spirits on this road? Haha."
I made a joke and then laughed. However, Zhou Mao's face became more solemn when he heard this, without any intention of laughing.
"Brother Zhou, what's your expression? It makes me feel a little scared."
"It's a total of 30 kilometers from here to Shan'ao Village. It takes an hour and a half to go back and forth. I don't know if there are spirits or not, but the person who drives this bus at midnight is the last one."
Zhou Mao seemed to be hesitant to speak. Seeing this, I hurriedly asked:
"What happened in the end? Brother Zhou, please don't scare me!"
"Are you scared? You are still too young. If it weren't for special circumstances, do you really think that a thousand yuan a month extra and only one trip would fall on you, a newcomer? Let me tell you "
When Zhou Mao spoke, he lowered his voice and almost put his head to my ear.
"Before you, there were eight people who drove the last bus of the No. 14 bus, all driving 9413, but in the end these eight people were either dead or disabled! This is also the reason why the last midnight bus of the No. 14 bus has been stopped for five years. I really don’t know how the city allows this bus to start running again, what a sin!”
Zhou Mao's words of sin made my skin break out in goosebumps.
When he said this, I always felt like I was about to die on the 9413 car.
After listening to Zhou Mao's words, I felt like I had eaten a dead fly and couldn't eat anymore.
Grandma, Jin Suocheng must have known about this, but he didn't tell himself. Wasn't it clear that he was trying to trick me?
Perhaps when this news was announced, Golden Lock Achievement had already targeted me.
The main reason is that other people know the inside story and it is impossible for them to drive this bus.
"Don't listen to other people's nonsense. How can a young man like you believe in these superstitious things?"
I found Jin Suocheng and wanted to ask about the last midnight bus of bus No. 14, but he blocked me with one sentence.
But when I thought about it, it was indeed the case. In fact, I have never believed in the saying of ghosts. Now we live in a scientific society, where do so many superstitions come from?
At 11:50 at night, I started bus No. 14 9413, not to set off now, but to warm up.
What surprised me was that Jin Suocheng actually came.
It was almost 12 o'clock in the night, and this guy hadn't gone home to sleep yet?
"Captain, is there anything else?"
I stuck my head out of the window and handed Jin Suocheng a cigarette.
"It's nothing serious, I just want to tell you some precautions. We'll leave at 12 o'clock, and there will be nine stops along the way. You are not allowed to stop at any of the stops. You can only stop for three minutes at the terminal. Remember, it must not exceed three minutes!"
Jin Suocheng took the cigarette and began to remind me of the precautions.
"Three minutes?"
I was a little confused when I heard that. Normally, the terminal would wait for ten minutes, but why was it changed to three minutes for the last midnight bus?
