Mysterious Revival

“The supernatural bus has already passed the third stop. Next, we’ll have to find a way to get off.”

At this moment.

Every messenger, including Old Eagle, Leuk Qingqing, Da Qiang, Wang Feng, Qin Kai, Yang Xiaohua, and Li Yang, all looked grim and their nerves were taut.

Because soon they would have to leave this supernatural bus.

Though the bus is eerie, it is at least safe.

The situation outside was already seen before; whether it’s the rainy platform, the calm county, or the abandoned village, they’re all extremely perilous.

Once they leave here, it’s basically like walking onto a road of no return.

Wanting to wait for the next bus to come, who knows if they’d even survive till then.

“Why is this letter delivery task so difficult?” Qin Kai took a deep breath and looked at his fellow fourth-floor messengers, Wang Feng, Da Qiang, and Old Eagle.

Their eyes met, and they all saw panic and unease in each other’s eyes.

In such a situation, no one was confident they could deliver the letter and return to the post office alive.

Probably, they all assumed they’d die here.

“Instead of getting off the bus to die pointlessly, it might be better to stay on this bus, as long as we can live a bit longer.”

Suddenly, Da Qiang’s face showed a slightly ferocious expression as he gritted his teeth and said.

His words shattered the silence in the carriage.

Many people turned to look at him.

Old Eagle’s eyes, however, flickered: “Perhaps that’s not a bad choice, at least we could live a bit longer, but when the curse of the post office arrives, we’ll still die. Even if this bus can withstand the curse, the bus itself is very dangerous.”

After speaking, he glanced at the others intentionally or unintentionally.

These people all possess supernatural powers, none of them are simple, they are at least of the fourth-floor messenger level at the post office. If they fall here, their fate would not be much better.

Either way, it’s death.

“Risking it to successfully deliver the letter might give us a chance to reach the fifth floor. Staying means certain death; living a few more days or a few fewer doesn’t make much difference. I won’t do such a stupid thing.” Leuk Qingqing said coldly.

No matter what, she would participate in this letter delivery task.

“I agree to deliver the letter. We’ve reached the fourth floor, and it’s just a little bit more, retreating now is foolish.”

Wang Feng, who had been silent for a long time, spoke up at this moment.

“Even fourth-floor messengers are scared by this experience.” Li Yang thought to himself.

He did not look down on these people but thought their reaction was justified. After all, even top ghost handlers don’t want to get on this bus. Those who do are close to ghost resurrection; people like that will die outside even if they don’t get on.

They have no other way.

There wouldn’t be any alternative methods to coming here.

“The rain outside has stopped…”

The bus continued to move forward, and finally, the rainy area was over; outside returned to the previous state again.

The water droplets on the window were rapidly disappearing, soon not a trace could be seen.

Having left the strange third stop, they were heading towards the fourth stop. In Yang Jian’s view, the danger of this road far exceeded the previous three stops.

“That weird old lady hasn’t gotten off the bus yet, on the next two stops, the number of ghosts decreases and then increases, leaving the end result unchanged, with the number still totaling an astonishing 13. This is not good news…” Yang Jian felt very uneasy at this moment.

This was a huge hidden danger.

Based on the previous post office letter delivery task, a very bad thought came into his mind.

“Captain Yang, are you getting off at the fourth stop?” Suddenly, Fan Xing, the city manager, asked.

Yang Jian’s expression changed slightly, and he glanced over: “What do you want to say?”

“Nothing, just curious to ask, at the next stop we might not stop at a safe place, right?” Fan Xing said.

“You better be less curious about my business. What, received orders from headquarters to inquire about my intentions?”

Yang Jian said: “If so, you go report to Minister Cao, tell him I’m handling a supernatural case for headquarters, and if I’m not dead when I return, remember to pay me overtime.”

“Okay, sure, definitely.” Fan Xing laughed, somewhat awkwardly.

He really wasn’t curious, but had received information from headquarters.

The signal on the supernatural bus was intermittent, but could still be contacted, albeit unstable.

But just then.

Suddenly.

The normally running bus suddenly braked harshly, causing everyone inside, even the ghosts in the seats, to lurch.

“What’s going on? Emergency brake? Could something have happened suddenly?” In an instant, everyone was doubtful and apprehensive.

Some even suspected Yang Jian, sitting behind the wheel, had casually stepped on the brake.

After all, Yang Jian was sitting in the driver’s seat.

“No, no, it’s not a sudden brake.”

Then, the lights inside the bus began to flicker, as though they were about to go out at any moment.

Moreover, after that brake, it was like the entire bus lost power, its speed decreased considerably and kept getting slower and slower, with even signs of stopping.

“Damn it, it’s stalling, the bus is stalling.”

Fan Xing suddenly stood up; his face was filled with terror.

Everything came so suddenly, without warning.

The bus seemed to have broken down while on the road, stalling directly. This stalling situation was slightly different from when Yang Jian encountered it before, but the nature was the same.

However, taking advantage of inertia, the bus was still gliding forward.

The lights inside the bus flickered, sometimes going out, sometimes flickering.

“What happens after stalling?” Someone hurriedly inquired, evidently not too aware of this peculiar situation, having boarded not long ago.

Zhou Deng explained: “After stalling, it means the bus suddenly loses supernatural power and breaks down on the road. At that time, everyone and all the ghosts must get off until the bus restarts, then they can ride again.”

“I haven’t experienced stalling, just heard about it from previous passengers, but don’t worry, the stalling time varies, with luck it might restart immediately.”

“And if luck is bad? How long can it take?” the person asked.

Zhou Deng laughed, “Ten minutes, half an hour is possible, but you should be more worried about the fact that once we’re stalled, and get off, the ghosts follow too, those ghosts begin to revive and move around.”

“And what’s the count now? 13? Haha, thirteen lethal ghosts all getting off.”

“Why are you laughing in this situation?” Leuk Qingqing frowned.

Zhou Deng said, “No, I just genuinely find it interesting. Come, I really want to know, how many from this bus will survive after stalling?”

He then darted his gaze over the others.

The others felt chilled in their hearts, their faces turned pale.

“Captain, look, there’s an ancient house ahead…” Li Yang quickly pointed out at this time.

The bus was still gliding. Although it had stalled, it could still maintain safety inside the carriage.

Only when the bus comes to a complete stop will the horror descend instantly.

After gliding a bit, suddenly there appeared an ancient house in a patch of old woods by the road. The house was a wooden structure bungalow, and if the bus hadn’t slowed down, this ancient house would be hard to notice.

The doors of the ancient house were tightly closed, as if abandoned here for a long time.

Yet, above those doors hung two red lanterns.

The lanterns emitted a red light, appearing striking and eerie.

“No, no way, the place we’re supposed to deliver the letter, it’s actually here?”

The fourth-floor messengers were momentarily dumbfounded.

They did not forget another task requirement from the post office to stay here for seven days.

This ghostly place, mysterious and uncharted, fiendishly ominous, forget seven days, even an hour would be hard to endure.

But no matter how they thought, the reality was that the supernatural bus suddenly stalled on the roadside, a faint, winding path could be clearly seen through the nearby woods, crossing a patch of old woods, directly leading to the main door of that ancient house.

The bus stopped.

The flickering frequency of the lights in the bus slowed, as if they wouldn’t turn back on once they go out the next time.

“Li Yang, once the door opens, get off immediately, don’t hesitate, the ghosts on the bus will all begin to move, at that time any move could trigger the lethal ghost’s killing pattern and be targeted by them.”

Yang Jian stood up, holding his cracked long spear, and he shouted in a low voice.

For once, a hint of urgency slipped into his tone.

“I know, Captain.”

Li Yang had already left his seat, stood directly in the aisle, staring at the exit door.

“The moment the door opens, leave directly using the Ghost Domain.”

A ghost handler also took a deep breath silently, glancing to the side.

The restless lethal ghosts in the carriage made his scalp tingle.

At this moment, Qin Kai was in an even worse situation. He glanced down slightly, a cold and frozen hand was somehow placed on his leg.

The frozen female corpse that had been staring at him now displayed an abnormal behavior, having physical contact with him.

After three stops, it had remained still, merely watching him strangely. Unexpectedly, once the supernatural bus stalled, it turned into this situation…

“Getting off immediately?”

Yang Xiaohua looked, biting her lips gently, trembling all over as she stood up. Her palms were slightly pale, gripping the red balloon firmly.

This red balloon was her only reason for existence.

Once lost.

Her last bit of value would vanish, and in such a situation, no one would save her without value.

One second, two seconds, three seconds… Time ticked by little by little.

The supernatural bus had come to a complete halt, stalled at the roadside, everyone was awaiting the arrival of that critical moment.

This moment was not long.

Soon.

Just as the lights in the carriage were about to completely extinguish, the tightly closed door suddenly opened.

Not just the exit door, the entrance door opened too.

“Hurry and go.”

Someone shouted, and all passengers rushed out in a crowd, heading straight out of the carriage.

“Go.” Yang Jian also moved swiftly.

He did not leave through the exit door; instead, he left through the entrance door, because after stalling, the supernatural bus had lost its power, it no longer mattered from where one boarded or alighted.

Of course, he wasn’t alone in this thought.

Fan Xing also dashed out through the entrance door.

Yang Xiaohua took notice of this detail; she didn’t dare vie for the exit door, to avoid accidentally being crushed, so as soon as the door opened she followed closely behind Yang Jian.
