Chapter 75: The Out-of-control Ghost Bus
The woods felt very familiar to Jiang Shan; the trees, shaped like human figures, growing together were just like the ghost tree forest he encountered in Chen Family Village that day.
“It must be my imagination. How can one ghost appear in two places?” Jiang Shan thought to himself.
Seeing the ghost village appear outside the bus, the ghost bus should be stopping soon.
“It’s finally stopping. I wonder how many ghosts will board this time.”
Jiang Shan’s tightly furrowed brow finally relaxed. Except for that one time it stalled, the ghost bus hadn’t stopped for two consecutive days, which had caused him intense unease.
Looking through the window at the modern bus stop not far away, not only Jiang Shan but also Ren Ying and Ren Xue’s hearts, which had been hanging by a thread, finally settled.
Although boarding the ghost bus carried risks, as long as it didn’t stall and wasn’t full, the threat of the ghosts could be ignored.
And the ghost bus stopping meant that Jiang Shan’s previous deductions might be wrong, which was the reason he let out a sigh of relief.
If the ghost bus returned to normal, he could safely suppress the fierce ghosts on the bus and prepare for the future.
Due to the special nature of the ghost bus,
as long as a ghost wielder stays on the ghost bus long enough, the fierce ghost within their body will become closer and closer to stalling, or even stall completely.
Jiang Shan had to choose to ride the ghost bus because of the issue of the dead face ghost reviving within him.
As for the three ghosts that had barely reached a balance within him—ghost blood, blood ghost, and ghost characters—he could only pin his hopes on the dead face ghost not reviving again, and then try his luck at the Caesar Grand Hotel to see if he could detain the newspaper ghost.
After all, the newspaper ghost could alter the killing pattern of the ghost characters. If it could change the situation where ghost blood was at a disadvantage against two, perhaps he would become a top-tier ghost wielder through this gamble.
Never mind the blood ghost, which had a physical form yet was a terrifying fierce ghost that launched consciousness attacks.
Just based on the dead face ghost, ghost characters, ghost blood, and newspaper ghost, if Jiang Shan could control these four fierce ghosts, even if Ye Zhen and Yang Jian came together, each of them would get a good beating before leaving.
As long as the dead face ghost could be used appropriately, he would get off the bus as soon as possible to find a way to survive for himself.
“Clang… clang…”
Just as Jiang Shan was waiting for the ghost bus to stop, a sudden and violent jolt made him instantly realize something was wrong.
As the ghost bus swayed more and more violently, the passengers on the seats even felt like they were about to be thrown off.
“What’s happening? Was the ghost bus attacked?”
Jiang Shan’s expression changed slightly. He grabbed the handle on his seat to prevent himself from being thrown off. As the ghost bus tilted to one side, it actually charged into the ghost village littered with tombstones.
Zhang Dongxing, who was tied to the seat in front, woke up due to the violent jolting. At first, he was a bit confused, but seeing the ghost bus about to “cause trouble,” he shouted in terror:
“What’s going on? Why is it going to crash? Little brother, where are you? Why am I tied up!”
No matter how much Zhang Dongxing yelled, no one in the bus answered him.
At this moment, the ghost bus had deviated from its original route. It was speeding madly within the ghost village as if it had lost control.
“Bang…! Bang…! Bang…!”
The low tombstones shattered like crisps in front of the ghost bus, breaking one by one under its reckless charge.
“Thump!!!”
With a loud crashing sound,
the ghost bus crashed into a mud house in the ghost village. Although the ghost bus remained intact, its entire front had sunk in, and then its wheels stopped turning.
The ghost bus had stalled again!
Due to the impact, Jiang Shan and the others on the bus were almost thrown from their seats by inertia, while Zhang Dongxing gagged incessantly from being tightened.
“Screech…”
Just as Jiang Shan regained his senses, a grating mechanical sound, like teeth grinding, came from inside the bus. He traced the source and found that the rear door of the ghost bus had opened.
“Get off!” Jiang Shan shouted anxiously, glancing at the outside.
The village, occupied by tombstones, gave him a very bad feeling. But remembering the man-eating darkness inside the bus after it stalled, he knew they couldn’t stay on the bus any longer.
Regardless of what was outside, staying on the bus meant certain death; getting off might allow everyone to last until the ghost bus restarted.
“Thump~ thump thump~”
Under everyone’s tense gaze, the ghost porcelain woman finally got off the bus. If this ghost didn’t get off, no one dared to make a move.
If I happen to get off the bus at the same time the ghost does.
Then being attacked could only be described as being unlucky.
“Liu Yingying, go untie Zhang Dongxing. Don’t be afraid, I’ll save you at any time. Be quick!” Jiang Shan said immediately upon seeing the ghost porcelain woman get off.
“Okay.”
This was the first time Jiang Shan had spoken to her actively since that incident, so Liu Yingying replied excitedly.
After hearing the reply, Jiang Shan held the ghost rope in his hand, then stood up to get off the bus. Liu Yingying also stood up, preparing to go untie Zhang Dongxing.
With her quick mind, she knew Jiang Shan was already disappointed in her, so this was an opportunity to regain his interest.
In a situation where death was imminent, she had to cling to Jiang Shan’s coattails.
And Zhang Dongxing, Jiang Shan absolutely could not let him die.
The luck ghost’s ability not only brought good luck buffs to Zhang Dongxing, but who could say that the people acting with Zhang Dongxing hadn’t also received these good luck buffs?
At this moment, Ren Ying and Ren Xue were also following closely behind Jiang Shan, getting off the bus with him.
Everyone on the bus was doing what they were supposed to do, and at this moment, they were like a team, methodically carrying out their tasks.
As for the deceased Liu Hong, people like him were an unbearable existence in a team.
Selfishness is human nature; after all, if a person doesn’t act for themselves, heaven and earth will destroy them.
But if selfishness goes too far, when facing ghosts, those who want to survive will kill such people first, without the ghosts having to lift a finger.
As soon as he stepped off the bus, a bone-chilling cold shot straight into Jiang Shan’s crown. He scanned his surroundings and found that apart from a few scattered mud houses, there were dense, numerous tombstones all over the ground.
Since he felt the chilling cold, it proved that there was a ghost existing around them.
After all, this kind of chilling cold was the supernatural power of a fierce ghost eroding a person’s body.
“Is it the tombstones, or these mud houses?”
Jiang Shan’s brow furrowed. The gray fog-like ghost domain appeared from him for only a few seconds before disappearing.
Using the ghost domain to probe the fierce ghost not only helped avoid triggering the ghost’s killing pattern but also allowed him to understand the surrounding situation in the fastest possible time.
Due to the resurrection situation of the dead face ghost, Jiang Shan did not maintain the ghost domain for too long, and even its range was controlled.
“Huh?”
Through the ghost domain, Jiang Shan suddenly discovered something. He looked down and saw that the color of the soil on the ground was not normal; the soil was not yellow, nor was it black, but a faint red.
Those who frequently slaughtered pigs, chickens, and fish were most familiar with this kind of red; it was the color that soil turned after being soaked in blood for a long time.
Although this mud emanated supernatural power, Jiang Shan did not believe that this soil was a ghost.
Having dealt with so many ghosts, his intuition about ghosts was quite accurate. Regarding this soil, which was suspected to be ghost soil, he believed it had been contaminated with supernatural power under the erosion of a certain ghost.
Just as Jiang Shan was thinking, a voice sounded:
“Brother, we’re down too.”
Liu Yingying and Zhang Dongxing, who were on the ghost bus, had already gotten off. Liu Yingying, standing beside Jiang Shan, panted heavily.
At this moment, the lights on the bus had just begun to flicker, indicating that they had gotten off just in time.
“Handsome young man, what do we do now? I feel like this village is very weird, and the soil on the ground is going to freeze my feet. My sister and I are so scared.” Ren Ying said with a wronged expression.
“If you’re scared, go find your dad. Why are you looking for my little brother? He looks younger than you, so do you want to acknowledge my little brother as your father?” Zhang Dongxing retorted immediately.
“I…”
After being retorted, Ren Ying was stunned for a moment. Then, her originally shy expression suddenly turned manic. Just as she was about to say something, a voice that made everyone’s hearts pound rang out:
“Thump~ thump thump~!”
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound; it was the Ghost Porcelain Woman.
“Crack~!”
The ghost, resembling a little girl, placed the porcelain bottle she was holding on the ground. Then, she unnaturally twisted off her own head, her gushing fresh blood and half-severed spine assaulting everyone’s eyes.
The headless little girl then violently pushed the porcelain bottle to the ground, and one by one, twisted and ferocious dark shadows crawled out of the bottle.
