Chapter 1186: Cai Xuanqiao’s End
It would have been fine if Chi Shuyan hadn’t mentioned it, but as soon as she did, she hit the nail on the head. Those who hadn’t thought much of it and just wanted ‘Jiang Tongle’ to get on the bus immediately felt a chill run down their spines. Everyone’s expressions were indescribable.
The most sensitive people here were Chen Jin, Old Yu, Su Yu, Yao Zhao, Ji Mingshu and Yu Bo. When they heard this, their faces immediately changed and they realized that something wasn’t right.
Chen Jin and Old Yu, who had been in a hurry to open the bus door, looked at each other, their eyes filled with panic and fear.
There was the sound of banging outside, and something also slammed into the bus door. Not long after, Jiang Tongle’s voice rang out again. “Teacher, open the door! I’m scared!”
Hearing Jiang Tongle’s voice, Chen Jin and Old Yu shuddered even more. The more they thought about Shuyan’s words, the more fl.u.s.tered they became. Speaking of which, the two of them were atheists. Although this student in front of them kept saying that Jiang Tongle wasn’t human, they didn’t believe it at all.
But as Shuyan had said, Driver Zhang had driven at least a kilometer or two earlier. If ‘Jiang Tongle’ were human, how could she immediately catch up to the bus?
Thinking this, the two just felt their blood freeze and their minds go blank. Cold sweat broke out on their foreheads and palms, and their lips trembled. They racked their brains and wanted to say something, but couldn’t utter a word.
Chi Shuyan glanced at all the equally stupefied students in the car. Of course, a few of the less smart girls who were friends with Jiang Tongle spoke up for her. “Teacher Chen, Teacher Yu, that’s Tongle outside. It’s clearly Tongle’s voice! We should hurry and open the bus door for her and Teacher Cai!”
Chen Jin and Old Yu didn’t relax when they heard someone speak up for Jiang Tongle. Instead, their hearts turned even colder, especially when they thought about how Cai Xuanqiao might not be with a human at that moment. Their faces turned pale.
Although the two teachers had experienced more than the students, this was the first time they had encountered the supernatural.
For a moment, they didn’t know whether to tell the driver to hurry up and drive away or save Cai Xuanqiao. But how?
Chi Shuyan took in the conflicted expressions of the two teachers and didn’t force them to make a decision. They would soon be able to make a decision themselves, so she simply remained silent.
Su Yu, Yao Zhao, Yu Bo and Ji Mingshu, on the other hand, stared intently at Chi Shuyan, their faces paler than ever.
......
Seeing that there was no movement inside for a long time, ‘Jiang Tongle’ seemed to run out of patience outside. Bang! She suddenly hit the bus door a few times, and said impatiently in a rough, unpleasant and sharp voice, “Open the door!”
At that moment, her voice no longer sounded familiar. It was shrill and like a stone grinding sand at the same time.
The faces of everyone on the bus changed drastically, and Cai Xuanqiao’s cursing suddenly stopped. After a long while, a sharp and mournful scream for help suddenly rang out outside the bus. “Help, help! Save me! Please save me! It’s a ghost! A ghost!”
Who else could it be, but Cai Xuanqiao? The banging on the bus door grew louder and louder. The person banging on the door wanted to smash it down at that moment. It was accompanied by Cai Xuanqiao’s hysterical and desperate screams. Everyone on the bus turned white, especially when they heard the word ‘ghost.’ The originally bewildered crowd couldn’t help but tremble.
For a long while, n.o.body in the bus moved. Conversely, Cai Xuanqiao’s voice grew more and more broken and wretched. She incoherently called out the names of Chen Jin, Old Yu and a few of the others she was most familiar with. Before anyone on the bus could respond, there was a sudden burst of strange, hair-raising laughter, which mixed with the woman’s cries.
Then, everyone on the bus heard mournful screams and howls which sounded worse than death. The screams were so tragic and desperate that all the birds in the trees flapped their wings in fright.
A few students in the front row were curious about what was going on outside, and couldn’t help but take a look out the window. What they saw scared them out of their wits.
The students screamed and ran from their seats in tears. They tripped and couldn’t care less about the pain. They crawled wildly toward Chen Jin and Old Yu and clung to their legs, crying bitterly for help.
For a moment, the atmosphere on the bus was quite chaotic. Su Yu, Yu Bo and the others were the calmest, and immediately tried to calm everyone else down.
Old Yu and Chen Jin couldn’t help but look out the window in the front row. They saw ‘Jiang Tongle’ gripping Cai Xuanqiao by the throat with one hand, and stabbing her wildly in the stomach with a sharp dagger in the other hand. As she stabbed Cai Xuanqiao, she looked at the bus with a twisted face.
Whether it was Jiang Tongle stabbing Cai Xuanqiao or her bloated and rotting face, it was a ghastly sight. Old Yu would say that he was very brave, but when his eyes met the gaze of that ghost thing, he was so scared that his soul almost left his body.
Chen Jin wasn’t any better than Old Yu. Some bright red blood splattered on the window, as if it was on his face. He was so scared that his vision turned black and he almost fainted. There were also a few curious students, including Huang Shanming and Mao Di, who took a look out the window. Their worldview was swiftly overturned. Their faces turned white and they cried bitterly, screaming non-stop that there was a ghost.
It was as tragic as could be.
Who knew if it was because Huang Shanming and Mao Di were too agitated, but they had long forgotten how they mocked Su Yu and the others for believing in ghosts. They hurriedly ran to Su Yu and Yao Zhao and shouted that there were ghosts, cursing and trembling all over.
The wailing made one’s head hurt.
Seeing that the group on the bus were only willing now to shed tears after seeing the coffin, Chi Shuyan couldn’t be bothered with them. She just got Su Yu, Yu Bo and Yao Zhao, who were the calmest, to maintain order, and she immediately told the driver to drive.
Although Driver Zhang didn’t see anything, he was already scared witless by the atmosphere on the bus. As soon as Chi Shuyan finished speaking, Driver Zhang hurriedly started the engine, stepped on the gas and drove away.
The bus shook and the headlights flickered. The people on the bus were so scared that they cried out even more in panic. Fortunately, it wasn’t long before the lights stopped flickering.
The road in front of them was shrouded. Driver Zhang felt a little creeped out. No matter how he drove, he couldn’t get off this road. He drove for more than ten minutes, but the road seemed endless.
Driver Zhang was older and still believed in some things, so he couldn’t help but panic at that moment. He happened to see a few “people” standing in the middle of the road not far away, waving and wanting to get a ride.
How could Driver Zhang dare hit them? He hurriedly stepped on the brake. In his panic, he pressed something, and the front and back doors opened with a bang.
As soon as the bus doors opened, everyone screamed and panicked.
The ‘people’ outside promptly staggered onto the bus. Chi Shuyan’s face changed slightly. She immediately threw out a few Exorcism Talismans and had the driver immediately close the bus doors and drive.
Everyone who had been crying and panicking just saw a golden flash of light. The ‘wild ghosts’ that had wanted to get on the bus immediately screamed and were thrown off. The doors slammed shut, but a bloated hand covered in livor mortis was caught in the gap. It started to pry open the door.
Everyone on the bus clearly saw that the bloated and rotting face outside belonged to Cai Xuanqiao. However, her youthful beauty was nowhere to be seen. Her face was bloated and mottled, and a strong putrid odor and the smell of water came from outside the door, scaring everyone so much that they cried out, “Ghost! Ghost! There really is a ghost! Help! Help!”
