It's time to become an evil god.

After the bus stopped and the doors opened, the hunched and short old woman slowly boarded. She was skin and bones, her face covered in wrinkles, like a dried-up corpse from a grave, with no flesh left on her body. The skin gripping the handrail was rough, withered, and bloodless, like old tree bark. Even more bizarrely, she wore a small, white, bumpy hat, and her small feet were encased in inappropriate red cloth shoes.

The old woman, her hands trembling, stuffed two crumpled pieces of paper money into the box and walked slowly towards the back. Old Xu breathed a sigh of relief, closed the door, and prepared to start the bus. His gaze inadvertently swept across the rearview mirror, and he froze.

Sometime during the day, a dead child dressed entirely in white with a bluish-gray face was found crawling on the old woman's back!

Chapter 49 Thank you so much, Taro

After the old woman boarded the bus, the driver smelled a strange odor, like something rotten and foul, but it immediately reminded him of the smell of a corpse. In the rearview mirror, the old woman carrying a child on her back gradually walked towards the young people in the back of the bus.

In a moment of desperation, Lao Xu grabbed the walkie-talkie, but dared not give too obvious a hint. He could only subtly suggest to the guy who was dozing off with his arms crossed through the loudspeaker.

"Attention passengers, there is something unclean on this bus, something...something unclean."

When the topic of unclean things came up, Bai Ge, who had been dozing off, paused. He looked up and asked in confusion, "Master, how did you know that fart I just let out was from behind?"

"..."

Driver Xu's lips twitched. "Am I referring to you farting? Young man, didn't you notice this old woman is acting very strangely? Besides, there are only two people in the car, who else is there besides you!"

At this moment, the old man who was walking slowly suddenly stopped. His lifeless eyes looked at Bai Ge in front of him, and he stretched out a stiff finger and beckoned to him, "Young man, come and help me."

Bai Ge stood up, waved her hand righteously, and refused, saying, "Ahem, grandma, you're so old, can't you please mind your image?"

Driver & Grandma: ? ? ?

The old woman pricked up her ears and hesitantly asked, "What?"

Seeing the confused expressions on their faces, Bai Ge explained, "It's like the rocking horse that Pleasant Goat rides, haven't you ever ridden it?"

"..."

What the hell is this Pleasant Goat rocking horse little slut?!

The rough, wrinkled bark-like face twitched involuntarily. The hunched body took a few more steps forward and said in a sinister tone, "Young man, this old woman is getting old and a bit tired. Could you help me carry my little grandson?"

The driver's lips twitched; he desperately wanted to speak up and warn the other party not to agree.

"Okay."

Bai Ge stood up, walked over, and casually stretched out his hand, saying, "Give me the money."

The old woman was stunned. "Give me money?"

"What? You want me to carry your grandson even though you have no money?"

Bai Ge's face darkened, and he turned to leave, muttering to himself, "Poor bastard, why didn't you say you were broke earlier?"

"wait wait wait……"

The old woman reached out and grabbed Bai Ge's wrist, a chilling sensation washing over him. Bai Ge turned around and saw a pair of eyes that darted around like a rat's, scrutinizing him with shifty eyes. She let out a sinister laugh and said hoarsely, "Then take a look at my little grandson, isn't he handsome?"

Bai Ge looked behind the old woman and saw that a small child had appeared on her back, which had been blank just moments before. The child was clinging tightly to the old woman's shoulders with both hands and staring straight at him with dark, eye-less eye sockets.

Bai Ge smiled without changing his expression, "Your little grandson is quite unique in appearance. I can't say he's ugly, but I can't say he's handsome either. How about I use a middle word: he's really ugly."

Driver Lao Xu kept watching everything happening behind him through the rearview mirror. He could only sit trembling in the driver's seat, not daring to make a sound, for fear of being taken away in one fell swoop.

All he could do was silently pray to the paper spirit, hoping for his life.

"What a coincidence."

The young man in front of him looked at him with a smile that concealed a knife, and said, "You brought a grandson, and I just happened to bring a little brat. Come on, let's play together."

After saying that, Bai Ge clapped his hands, and a paper effigy of a child emerged from the props inventory, holding a strange stick covered in wriggling tentacles, with small arcs of electricity flickering at the very top of the stick.

The paper effigy revealed a malicious grin.

This is a specially modified stun gun; even spirits can feel the pain.

The paper effigy floated in mid-air, picked up a stun gun, and stabbed the child on the old woman's back. The child, whose body was covered in bruises, screamed instantly.

With a crackling sound, the headlights inside the carriage flickered, then the bulbs shattered and disappeared into the darkness.

From the bus driver Lao Xu's perspective, he could only see the back of the bus plunge into darkness. But in the old woman's eyes, Bai Ge seemed to have turned into a multi-armed octopus, with tentacles constantly emerging from the shadows, trying to drag her into the darkness.

She didn't know what was lurking in the darkness, but she didn't want to know.

The old woman, carrying her grandson on her back, rushed towards the door, frantically pounding on the car door, showing none of her previous frail and elderly behavior.

Click.

The old woman turned her head 180 degrees and shouted at the top of her lungs, "Stop the bus! This isn't a bus to the underworld!"

The bus driver, looking dejected, cried out, "I can't stop it either!"

The next moment, all the windows of the bus suddenly shattered, and a tentacle extending from outside the window wrapped around the old woman's neck and dragged her into the night outside.

The bus driver screamed in fright, thinking he was next to be unlucky.

Suddenly, a hand firmly pressed down on his shoulder. He turned around and saw Bai Ge standing behind him, reminding him.

"Drive carefully, sir."

The bus driver quickly steadied the steering wheel, his back already soaked with cold sweat.

"Young man, thank you."

Bus driver Lao Xu breathed a sigh of relief, his wildly beating heart finally calming down. His hands trembling, he said, "If it weren't for you, I might be dead just now, you..."

However, before he could finish speaking, he saw through the rearview mirror on the bus that the paper effigy floating on Bai Ge's shoulder was a blood-red ghostly figure wearing red embroidered shoes, with a bronze mirror behind it that looked like it had been brought in from inside, and a dead face was reflected in the bronze mirror.

The empty carriage suddenly became lively, filled with ghosts.

The driver's expression of relief at surviving the ordeal gradually froze.

"master."

Bai Ge calmly said, "From now on, I've hijacked your bus. Any objections?"

After a moment of silence, driver Lao Xu shook his head and slowly said, "I have an objection."

"However, I personally strongly disagree with my opinion."

……

In the deserted village, a light was on in a house overgrown with weeds. Five people were still discussing the details of entering the deep mountains before them.

"But should we act now?"

Wuxian's face was covered by an ink-stained hood that changed color with his breathing. He stared at the witch in front of him and tentatively said, "Shall we wait for the rest of our teammates to appear before we act?"

"The remaining teammates?"

The mere mention of that guy who immediately asked if she was from the "Balala the Fairies" show ignited the anger of the witch, who was barely 1.5 meters tall. She slammed her staff into the ground, shattering the blue bricks into dust. She coldly asked, "So you're questioning my abilities?"

No, no.

Realizing she had misspoke, Wuxian quickly waved her hand and said, "You're the head of the Xu City Special Affairs Bureau, who would dare question your abilities?"

"Let's wait a little longer, big sister."

Nishizawa Ryo advised, "That guy is naturally able to subdue demons."

"Humph."

The witch pouted, snapped her fingers, and a glass-like, transparent throne appeared behind her. She plopped down and said sarcastically, "Right, right, not only does it naturally suppress spirits, but it also naturally raises the blood pressure of all player teammates."

No sooner had they finished speaking than they heard a loud bang outside.

Everyone's expression changed drastically, and they immediately rushed out of the courtyard. A bus that appeared out of nowhere crashed directly into the old locust tree at the entrance of the village.

The rear door of the bus opened, and a figure appeared in front of everyone.

"Good evening, everyone."

Bai Ge jumped off the car and pointed to the bus behind him, saying, "You didn't expect that, did you? I've even thoughtfully prepared transportation for everyone's evacuation."

Upon seeing the wrecked bus, the five players fell silent.

The witch's lips twitched slightly, and she said expressionlessly, "Well, thank you so much, Taro."

Chapter Fifty You've Come to Impersonate the Bride

Ryo Nishizawa asked the question that everyone was curious about, "Wait, why did you steal a bus to come here?"

Bai Ge quickly waved his hand and righteously corrected the other party's statement, "I didn't steal anything. In fact, I helped the bus driver catch a pair of ghosts who were trying to evade the fare. The bus driver was very grateful for my suggestion and act of bravery, and spontaneously offered to take me to this village."

Nishizawa Ryo's lips twitched involuntarily. "...Although I really want to believe what you're saying, why did I see you holding a kitchen knife around the driver's neck when the car crashed?"

Bai Ge turned her head and glanced at the bus driver who was lying unconscious on the bus. She explained, "Oh, he said the air conditioner on the bus was broken, so this way it would be cooler."

The little witch crossed her arms and remained silent for a moment before asking, "I have no grudge against you, so why do you treat me like an idiot?"

"You must be one of the Balala the Fairies?"

The girl in front of me had long, light blue hair and wore a white short dress. Her eyes seemed to shimmer like pale blue ice cubes in the sunlight. A black staff floated behind her, with a large crystal ball embedded at its end.

Bai Ge said excitedly, "I remember when I was in elementary school, my family was poor and we couldn't afford toys. My dad felt sorry for me, so he took a hammer, spray-painted it, and turned it into the shape of a magic wand. I was so happy at the time, but it was a bit tiring for the kids to play with."

What the hell, kid? You beat someone up so badly they ended up in the hospital!

"Later, this magic wand accompanied me from elementary school to junior high school. My classmates witnessed me using this magic wand to send away one evil force after another in the school."

"..."

"I even had a nickname at one point: the Cardcaptor Sakura of the dark world."

Why does the name "Cardcaptor Sakura of the Dark World" sound so inappropriate?

"Let's go, let's split up and set off in two groups."

Xi Zeliang quickly interrupted Bai Ge's incessant introduction, handing out electronic emergency call devices to everyone and saying, "If any of you get lost in this godforsaken place, these electronic emergency call devices will allow me to locate you immediately. Be careful, the mountains surrounding the Human Skin Inn are a barrier; there's not just an inn inside, but also all sorts of ghosts."

The sun had already set, and large patches of dark clouds floated in the sky, creating an eerie and mysterious atmosphere. This was especially true as they ventured deeper into the mountains.

The ancient trees, which blocked out the sky, obscured the last ray of light, leaving Bai Ge and his group to grope their way forward, stepping on withered branches and fallen leaves.

"The location of the Human Skin Inn is always random, but it's always in this valley."

Ryo Nishizawa explained, "The Special Affairs Bureau had tried manual search before, but the ghosts in the Human Skin Inn seem to be quite clever. When the Special Affairs Bureau's experts went there, they hid and never came out."

After entering the depths of the desolate mountains, the group walked up a steep staircase carved from piled stones. The entire forest grew darker and darker, and even light could not penetrate it.

The witch raised her staff, wanting to illuminate the dark forest ahead, but Bai Ge pressed it down.
