Chapter 55

It was fortunate that Lin Ye was able to figure this out.

"Big brother, you won. These two candies are for you and this big sister here."

The little boy stuffed the two candies into Lin Ye's hands.

"They're very delicious; we all like to eat them."

He waved his hand and happily sat down in the first single seat on the right.

His pale complexion also slowly recovered, seemingly because he had enjoyed playing the game so much.

The speed of the No. 18 bus also gradually slowed down, returning to its original, normal driving speed.

At this moment, the others finally understood the bus's previous high-speed state; if it had continued to accelerate, they would all have been racing down a road toward death, eventually ending in a mangled wreck with no bodies left intact.

But fortunately,

this hurdle was considered cleared.

There were still two stops until Chiba Station.

……

…… ===== CHAPTER 131 =====

The third stop had arrived.

As the doors opened, the nameless supernatural entities in the carriage all stood up one after another. The little boy sitting in the single row on the right smiled and waved goodbye to Lin Ye and Nanase Koi, his lips moving as if he were reminding them of something.

Only the four of them—Lin Ye and his group—remained on the large bus.

The blue-haired delinquent stood up and sat next to the middle-aged man, ensuring that both seats in the double row were occupied.

By now, everyone kept these rules firmly in mind to ensure they wouldn't violate them.

The next stop, the next stop was Chiba Station.

As long as they reached Chiba Station, they could survive and leave this place.

'Tap, tap...'

At the boarding door,

several figures appeared.

Four people boarded one after another.

They were dressed identically in gray work uniforms, which were stained with some grayish-white dust, making them look a bit dirty. It was impossible to see their faces clearly, whether due to the dim lighting in the carriage or some other reason.

"The bus is about to depart; please take your seats as soon as possible."

It was still the driver's standard prompt.

The four walked in with synchronized steps; the entire process was completely silent, without any abnormalities.

Soon,

the four were seated,

respectively behind the blue-haired delinquent and the middle-aged man, and behind Lin Ye and Nanase Koi.

At this moment,

Nanase Koi stiffened, feeling as though the supernatural entity behind her was staring at her, leaving her afraid to move. In the end, she could only carefully hold Lin Ye's hand to gain a sense of security.

Lin Ye glanced at Nanase Koi, who didn't dare to look back, and didn't let go; instead, he enjoyed the comfortable sensation of her delicate little hand.

The blue-haired delinquent and the middle-aged man had their hearts in their throats, their eyes unable to stop glancing backward, terrified that the entities behind them would suddenly lash out and kill.

However,

the bus drove for quite a while, and the four showed no major reaction, looking exactly like the low-key, silent, and non-troublemaking entities from the beginning.

Could it be... that they were really okay?

The two couldn't help but think, and their tense hearts settled slightly.

Another minute passed,

and the silent carriage finally welcomed its first low, deep voice.

"Hungry,"

"Eat sheep."

"Tell you, I want to eat sheep,"

"Barbecue,"

"Delicious,"

……

The words were simple, but they seemed to possess magic, constantly enticing the hunger within people's hearts, causing it to appear and steadily climb.

"Hungry,"

"Eat,"

"Sheep..."

"Can have half,"

The low voice grew more intense, with a faint trend of erupting.

Lin Ye knew the rules had begun to take effect.

Hunger,

Want to eat sheep?

This 'sheep' couldn't possibly mean...

Lin Ye saw the changes in the two entities sitting in front; their slim gray uniforms began to bulge continuously, their bodies expanding, fur growing, revealing the eerie appearance of wolf-like beasts.

'Drip...'

'Drip...'

Saliva dripped down constantly.

Lin Ye didn't even need to look to know that the two entities behind him had also transformed, revealing their true supernatural forms.

This time, the rule was that one had to eat 'sheep' until full to pass.

Lin Ye also felt the hunger coming from his own body.

Time Stop,

he began to observe, attempting to kill the entities, but found the effect to be almost zero.

And as the bus moved forward, the range of the entities' movements grew larger and larger.

Closer, they moved even closer.

The dripping saliva had already landed on their seats. Nanase Koi had completely hugged Lin Ye's left arm; she had also realized the way to pass this stage—feed the entities—but this required human lives to feed them; how was one supposed to feed them?

She glanced upward and was so scared she immediately closed her eyes; that gaping bloody maw and those crimson eyes made her not dare to look for even a second longer.

Lin Ye had a hypothesis,

but he wasn't in a hurry; after all, there were four entities here.

The blue-haired delinquent and the middle-aged man also felt the encroaching entities; the heavy breathing and the dripping saliva were all reminders of the imminent danger.

But, how were they supposed to deal with this!

Boss, please think of a way!

The middle-aged man shouted in his heart, but no sound came from behind him for a long time.

'Slurp...'

The blue-haired delinquent shuddered; just that instant, he felt a cold tongue lick his cheek. This was an intention to start eating.

What to do? His gaze fell on the middle-aged man beside him.

Eat him; as long as he ate him, the blue-haired delinquent felt he had a good chance of surviving.

Having figured this out, the blue-haired delinquent immediately threw a punch, hitting the middle-aged man hard in the abdomen.

"Ugh..."

A cry of pain sounded, but the shout was suppressed.

The middle-aged man had never expected the blue-haired delinquent to strike directly.

He couldn't fail to understand the blue-haired delinquent's thoughts now, so he immediately fought back.

"Thud..."

"Boom..."

The two began to fight directly. The young and strong blue-haired delinquent soon won, pulling the middle-aged man's head like a dead dog with one hand, and said cautiously, ===== CHAPTER 132 =====
