Chapter 6: Human heart is unpredictable
Lin Hualong’s slap made me see stars.
Although I was angry, I was more shocked.
“Zhou Mao has been dead for a long time?”
I covered my numb face and stared at Lin Hualong in disbelief.
He narrowed his eyes and looked at me from top to bottom.
“Who are you?”
After a while, Lin Hualong said in a weird tone: “Why are you looking for me?”
He did not answer my question, and looked at me with deep suspicion.
Seeing Lin Hualong avoiding the topic about Zhou Mao, I became more and more entangled.
Zhou Mao is my only friend! Could it be that someone like me has a ghost instead of a human?
“Boy, I’m talking to you!”
Just as I fell into silence, Lin Hualong grabbed my neck.
His eyes were full of hostility, as if he and I were enemies.
“Let me go!”
I struggled and roared, and pushed him away.
Lin Hualong was half a head shorter than me, and he was thin.
I pushed him in anger, and he fell to the ground with a fart.
I thought Lin Hualong would be furious, but to my surprise, he was not angry, but looked at me calmly.
"Aren't you from the Ding family?"
Lin Hualong suddenly said something, which made me more confused.
"What Ding family?"
I asked back subconsciously, feeling that this Lin Hualong was almost a psychopath.
Perhaps seeing that I didn't know anything, Lin Hualong let down his guard for a while.
"Boy, come in first."
He got up from the ground, patted the dust on his body, and said to me coldly.
Hearing this, I breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that at least I was not driven away.
After striding into his house, the smell of blood instantly became heavier and even a little pungent.
I resisted the urge to cover my nose and stood aside with an unnatural expression.
"What are you afraid of?"
Lin Hualong sneered: "I don't eat people."
From his tone, it seemed like he was mocking himself.
I smiled awkwardly and handed him a cigarette.
Lin Hualong did not refuse. After he took the cigarette, I immediately stepped forward to light it for him.
"Master Lin, I don't know what misunderstanding you have about me."
I looked at him innocently.
Lin Hualong exhaled a puff of smoke, nodded at me, and said nothing more.
Until he finished a cigarette, he slowly spoke.
One sentence scared me so much that I broke out in a cold sweat: "You are haunted by a ghost."
"Brother Zhou, is it really a ghost?"
Until now, I still find it hard to believe and accept this fact.
"Boy, do you think I need to lie to you?"
Lin Hualong looked at me with contempt.
But my head hurt so much. If Zhou Mao was really a ghost, why did he keep helping me and let me come to Lin Hualong for help?
Lin Hualong stared at me intently, his eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts.
"You don't have to think too much, there are good and bad spirits."
Lin Hualong wiped his clothes with his hands, and suddenly took out something and handed it to me.
I took it and saw that it was a palm-sized iron lock, which was a little heavy in my hand.
"Take this to save your life."
Lin Hualong glanced at me with a nonchalant look on his face.
I nodded and said to him politely: "Thank you, Master Lin."
"This is a longevity lock. You hang it around your neck tonight, and it can save your life."
Before I could react, Lin Hualong said another sentence slowly.
When I heard this, I looked at him with a shocked face.
"Master Lin, how do you know about me?"
I looked at him in confusion and squeezed out a sentence with great difficulty: "Do I have to drive this car?"
You know, from the time I entered the door until now, I haven't told him about the strange things I encountered.
Lin Hualong looked at me mysteriously, laughed strangely, and began to explain.
"Since you mentioned Zhou Mao, you must have taken over his job..."
Lin Hualong told me my career and experiences in one breath, especially at the end, he asked me if I was entangled by a female spirit.
After listening to his words, I shuddered all over.
I thought Lin Hualong was really a god!
"Master Lin, what do you mean, Bai Xian is not a human?"
I swallowed a mouthful of saliva with a "gulp" and asked mutteringly.
Lin Hualong smiled and said, "Maybe."
After saying this, he waved his hand directly, indicating that I could leave.
But I didn't want to leave yet, there were many things I hadn't figured out.
If I left like this, I'm afraid I wouldn't know how I died tonight.
Lin Hualong may have seen my hesitation and seemed to guess what I was thinking.
"Since you don't want to leave yet, then tell me about your relationship with Bai Xian first."
A curious look flashed across Lin Hualong's face.
When I heard what he said, I told him everything about my first meeting with Bai Xian and what happened afterwards without any hesitation.
After hearing what I said, Lin Hualong shook his head.
He looked at me and warned me, "Don't trust Bai Xian. She will kill you."
I nodded, not quite understanding.
But Lin Hualong urged me to leave quickly, saying that if I stayed with him for too long, it would bring him trouble.
I didn't want to cause trouble to others, so I thanked him again and turned to leave.
When I was leaving, Lin Hualong's voice suddenly sounded behind me.
"You must drive this bus for 49 days. After 49 days, you will be able to overcome nine deaths and win a lifetime."
I turned back and nodded vigorously to him, indicating that I would do what he said.
Although I didn't quite understand what Lin Hualong meant, I knew in my heart that if I didn't do it, I would probably die soon.
"Hey, are you still alive?"
In a blink of an eye, the time froze at 11:50 pm.
Jin Suocheng's figure staggered and walked towards me.
He was obviously drunk and his words were particularly unpleasant.
"Captain, what do you mean by this?"
I stared at him with a dark face.
He cursed me to death for no reason, what was his intention?
But what puzzled me even more was that Jin Suocheng didn't go home after getting drunk, so why did he run to the company?
My intuition told me that things were not simple.
Jin Suocheng must know a lot of inside information, so why not take advantage of him being drunk and get him to talk.
"Captain, Brother Zhou Maozhou, are you the first driver of bus No. 14, No. 9413?"
Without waiting for Jin Suocheng to answer my first question, I asked a question out of the blue.
As expected, Jin Suocheng was frightened by my words and his face turned blue.
He suddenly raised his hand and slapped me on the shoulder.
Jin Suocheng's face came closer, and we faced each other, just staring at each other.
Suddenly, he spoke!
