Excessive ferocity due to caution

What is a "ghost bus"?

The crowd looked at Wang Chui with puzzlement in their eyes.

Wang Chui said:

"Ghost bus" is what we call it; it's actually a special vehicle hidden in the fog.

"This vehicle is driverless, extremely fast, and will keep moving according to the stops on the bus stop signs."

"Other passengers will naturally get on along the way, and those passengers..."

Wang Chui's expression turned somewhat grim as he said this.

His meaning was clear to everyone.

To put it bluntly, any ghostly creature that appears in the fog, regardless of its strength, may board the ghost bus and end up sharing the same bus with everyone else...

"Can't we bring torches onto the bus?"

Curious student Luo Qili raised her hand and asked a question.

Wang Chui shook his head:

"Any open flame will be extinguished as soon as it gets on the vehicle..."

"While taking the bus will prevent us from directly clashing with the ghost tide coming from the east, it's not entirely safe..."

"The last time we went to Pulse City, two team members died on the ghost bus..."

Mentioning his previous experience, Wang Chui seemed to feel a chill and unconsciously pulled his coat tighter.

Zhao Yi stroked his chin and said:

"It sounds dangerous, but it's still better than facing a horde of ghosts head-on."

"Captain Wang, where does the ghost bus usually travel?"

Wang Chui looked around and said:

"The ghost bus stop sign only appears in the fog, and the fog only appears after midnight, between midnight and 6 a.m.

"Let's search the area. No matter where this bus goes, we have to get off before 6 a.m.!"

"Otherwise, if we follow the ghost bus and disappear into that fog..."

Everyone fell silent.

Before long, led by Wang Chui, they carried torches and searched for the ghost bus stop sign in the fog.

A few minutes later, because Li Liangchao's torch was slightly out of control and a little too far away from him, a pair of bright red, fleshless hands suddenly reached out from the mist, grabbed the back of his neck, and were about to drag him into the mist!

Fortunately, Luo Qili reacted quickly, using silkworm silk to cut the hands and using a torch to dispel the mist. Only then did the owner of the bloodied hands let out a miserable scream and a roar of resentment before disappearing behind everyone...

Li Liangchao was covered in cold sweat at this moment.

His mental fortitude is indeed very strong, but his actual strength is far inferior to that of several Lv20+ players.

This unsolvable dungeon is both an affirmation of his past strength and a tremendous test of his abilities...

Fortunately, his previous performance had earned Luo Qili's approval; otherwise, Luo Qili wouldn't have risked her life to save him.

"Thanks……"

Li Liangchao, panting, thanked Luo Qili.

Be more careful next time.

Luo Qili shook her head, not taking it to heart.

She asked herself, when she was Lv17, she was far inferior to Li Liangchao in every aspect.

It's quite remarkable that this seemingly thin and ordinary-looking boy has achieved what he has.

Upon comparison, her gaze couldn't help but drift towards Zhao Yi, who was standing in front of Wang Chui.

If it's Zhao Yi...

An absurd thought flashed through my mind.

Immediately, Luo Qili shook her head.

There's really no comparison between them and that mentally ill person...

Zhao Yi is... too outrageous.

Clearing dungeons is like playing house...

The viewers in the live stream were already somewhat numb. After Li Liangchao uncovered Zhao Yi's intentions, they felt a chill run down their spines!

The scariest thing about Zhao Yi's scheming is that... you have no idea when you've been tricked by him!

Having learned their lesson from Li Liangchao, the group searched for the ghost bus stop in the fog with even greater caution, not daring to relax for a moment...

...

Camp.

Around the campfire.

More than an hour has passed, yet no one has returned.

Liu Meng had already realized that something was wrong.

It hasn't been that long... and they're all dead?

That shouldn't be the case.

Liu Meng cautiously looked around at the thick fog, a chill creeping into her heart.

"They're not coming back."

At this moment, Sudi, who had been sleeping by the campfire, sat up, his face as pale and calm as ever.

Liu Meng:

How did you know?

Sudi pointed to the equipment on the ground and said:

"Although they left behind some equipment, the most important letter was taken... This means they weren't looking for Zhao Yi, but rather they've already discovered him..."

Liu Meng vaguely sensed that something was wrong and asked:

"What did you discover?"

Sudi slowly turned his head, revealing a sinister smile:

"I've discovered... I'm not human."

After she finished speaking, blood began to seep from her indifferent eyes!

The person's skin is becoming increasingly pale, unlike that of a human being...

sieve--

A cold wind blew in.

The campfire at the camp suddenly went out...

Looking at the thick fog that was enveloping them, Liu Meng finally realized how foolish she had been!

Whether those people were genuinely looking for Zhao Yi or not... in any case, they seized the opportunity and escaped from here.

But I... became the abandoned pawn!

She thought the danger came from the thick fog, but she never imagined that the real danger was right beside her all along!

Even so, this wasn't the first time Liu Meng, at level 25, had faced a desperate situation, and she wouldn't just give up like that!

She immediately activated her bloodline – the Snow Maiden – and used teleportation magic to instantly teleport herself hundreds of meters away!

The power emanating from the witch instantly filled her entire body, and her pupils shone as brightly as purple amber!

It contained a large amount of magical power, which pierced through the dense fog!

She saw a female ghost with a distorted figure lying on the ground not far away, her hair disheveled, crawling frantically towards her!

A chilling and ferocious smile hung on its lips.

Blood kept dripping from those empty eyes.

Liu Meng sensed immense spiritual pressure emanating from the female ghost!

She knew that she was no match for this female ghost!

We must leave immediately!

Chi!

A burst of colorful light flashed by, and Liu Meng created a clone that stayed in place to attract the female ghost's attention, while she herself became invisible and fled into the distance!

puff!

The clone, which possessed half the strength of her original body, was torn to shreds by the female ghost almost instantly during the battle!

The witch power flowing through his body was completely unable to stop the female ghost!

"A female ghost granted idealistic powers by the system..."

Without any hesitation, Liu Meng created another clone and used her magic to teleport.

Her teleportation cooldown is very short.

Furthermore, Liu Meng possesses a terrifying ability... that is, as long as one of her clones survives, she will not die!

With this bug-like ability, Liu Meng was confident that she would be able to turn danger into safety tonight!

Instead of wasting her power to confront the female ghost Sudi head-on, she constantly used teleportation, creating clones, and various witchcraft to delay her!

Gradually, the female ghost's killing speed couldn't keep up with Liu Meng's speed in creating clones, and more and more clones fled into the depths of the distant mist...

A victorious smile appeared on Liu Meng's lips.

She has already created many clones that have escaped to extremely far places and have not been killed by the strange creatures in the mist!

Thinking of this, she actually charged towards the female ghost instead. Looking at the female ghost's ferocious face, Liu Meng smiled arrogantly and said sarcastically:

"madness!"

"In the end, it's just a mindless monster... You'll never understand..."

Before she could finish speaking, her expression suddenly changed!

Just now, the female ghost that was clearly attacking her suddenly disappeared!

Although Liu Meng was convinced she wouldn't die, a sense of extreme foreboding still overwhelmed her...

She carefully recalled everything that had just happened...

Why did the female ghost disappear into thin air?

Could it be that she is an illusion?

But if it was an illusion... then how did the female ghost kill her clone?

Liu Meng felt increasingly uneasy and immediately activated her bloodline power to scout the surrounding area with all her might.

no……

There wasn't a trace of the ghost children at all!

Where did it go?

The unease in my heart intensified.

Until... Liu Meng heard a faint, extremely quiet voice in her ear.

"So that's how it is..."

A nameless fear gripped Liu Meng, and she screamed in terror:

"Who?"

"Who is speaking?"

No one responded.

At that moment, Liu Meng's gaze inadvertently swept over her hand, and her body suddenly trembled!

wrong!

This...this isn't my own hand!!

When did my fingernails become so bright red?

So sharp?

She shakily performed a mirror spell.

Reflected in the ripples of the mirror, Liu Meng clearly saw... an incredibly terrifying female ghost face!

"No!!!"

Liu Meng screamed in horror.

next moment,

She raised her claws and plunged them into her own head... pulling out her bloody brain.

It was at this very moment that all her clones made this move...

...

[Player Liu Meng is dead.]

The system sent a message announcing Liu Meng's death.

At that moment, the three players waiting for the ghost bus at a dilapidated bus stop felt a slight sinking feeling in their hearts.

"Liu Meng has been killed...we're next."

"We've discovered her identity; she'll never let us go!"

Li Liangchao took a deep breath, feeling extremely nervous.

Wang Chui has just clearly told them that the mutants that General Long fears are usually all kinds of monsters with extremely terrifying power!

Their powers were restricted by the system, so they couldn't possibly stop them!

"Sudi is coming towards us!"

"Coordinates: 1298 meters southwest!"

Luo Qili was extremely serious as she kept announcing Sudi's location to everyone!

She laid down many silkworm threads along the way.

Once the Heavenly Silkworm Silk is activated, she will immediately know a lot of the other party's basic information!

"Zhao Yi, what do we do?!"

PS: Chronic non-atrophic antral gastritis.

A routine gastroscopy... well, it's a long story.

I really don't want to do it a second time.
