Chapter 157 Ghost Arrival
While Wang Zhifan and others were discussing in low voices, the speed of bus No. 444 gradually increased, driving in this deserted city.
During this period, Wang Zhifan has been paying attention to the streets and direction changes outside, and silently memorizing them in his heart. This is actually a habit of his taking transportation. He likes to try to remember the things he passes by when going to strange places. Route, he often does this in the real world, let alone in this kind of mission.
After about half an hour like this, bus No. 444 came to an intersection with a rusty stop sign and stopped slowly.
"Hell Academy has arrived. Passengers who need to get on or off the bus, please get on and off the bus in an orderly manner. The next stop is: Soul Return Road."
As the pleasant female voice in the bus announced and the door slowly opened, Wang Zhifan and others quickly looked out through the window and saw three people wearing hooded black robes walking quickly from a nearby alley and heading towards The bus they were on came.
The black hoods on the heads of these three people and the black robes on their bodies are very large, which almost completely obscures their figure and appearance, making it difficult to distinguish their age and even gender. Judging from their height, they should all be adults.
“They should be from Hell Academy. I heard from the old man that Hell Academy is similar to Apartment 444 in this world, and their students are very different from our residents. Many of them have undergone With special transformation, the mission survival rate is much higher than that of the apartment and the Thirteenth Doctor..."
The young man in school uniform who had collected the most complete intelligence was looking out the window at the three hooded men in black robes approaching. analyzed.
“What special transformation?”
The petite assassin girl next to him then asked him a little curiously.
"I heard from the old man that it is a ghost transformation, which means turning part of one's body into a ghost. The process is said to be quite dangerous."
The young man in school uniform explained immediately.
"Change yourself into a ghost? These people are too crazy..."
The assassin girl was stunned after hearing this.
"Stop talking, these people are getting on the bus. The old man said that they generally have bad tempers. We should be careful and don't cause trouble."
As soon as the young man in school uniform finished speaking, the three black hooded men The people boarded the bus from the street platform, and then looked for their seats together.
During this process, they passed near the location of the seven apartment residents. Then for some unknown reason, a female apartment resident suddenly screamed and began to run away towards the car door.
"Ah!!! Ghost! The ghost is getting in the car!"
The person shouted as he rushed towards the car door that was almost completely closed, obviously trying to escape. Wang Zhifan had already arrived near the car door at this moment. He originally thought that after the experience at the last station, these residents would not make any more troubles, but now the situation seemed a little less optimistic, because he saw that the female resident had already The closed car door blocked the way forward, and the three hooded men in black robes behind them all stopped and turned to look at her. A substantial malice suddenly filled the car.
When the three hooded men in black robes turned around, Wang Zhifan also caught a glimpse of their faces hidden under the black robes. It was indeed a terrifying appearance.
The black and semi-rotted face, the scarlet eyes as red as the abyss, the red and white gums exposed to the air due to rotten lips, have almost no resemblance to normal humans. You don’t even need to put on makeup to play the role of a devil. , but Wang Zhifan's powerful perception told him that these people were still human beings, but their bodies were contaminated with some bad breath.
"I'm sorry to everyone in the college. Our companion is mentally disturbed and loves to talk nonsense. Please don't take it seriously. I apologize to you on behalf of the apartment."
I don't want to be in the car. Wang Zhifan, who had caused an unnecessary accident when a fight broke out, covered the mouth of the female resident who wanted to open the door to escape and pulled her to the rear of the carriage. At the same time, he nodded and smiled at the three hooded men in black robes who turned to look this way. said.
He was actually quite confident that he would be able to deal with the three men in black robes in front of him, or he might not care about the life or death of the female residents at all. However, considering that he needed to save at least one resident in the subsequent tasks, he decided to take action once, lest the situation develop into something uncontrollable. , and at the same time, it also lets the apartment residents know that he is not completely cold-blooded, and that he still has the courage and responsibility to stand on the side of the apartment. This impression will be beneficial to his leadership and protection in subsequent tasks.
As soon as Wang Zhifan finished speaking, he covered the mouth of the female resident and very quickly dragged her to a seat at the rear of the bus and sat down on it, allowing her to regain her composure. There was no sound at all. The three hooded men in black robes from Hell Academy looked at him for two seconds, then turned around silently and continued to find seats.
No one knows why these rumored bad-tempered people from Hell Academy chose to calm down their anger. Maybe they really felt the apology expressed by Wang Zhifan, or maybe they were about to participate in a difficult competition. Task, don't want to waste your precious energy here.
In this way, the rest of the journey was basically calm, and there were no more unexpected situations.
Wang Zhifan and other apartment residents have been sitting calmly on bus No. 444, watching it carry them past one stop after another. On the way, the young man in a white coat from the Thirteenth Hospital and three people from Hell Academy The hooded men in black robes got off the bus one after another. They, a total of eleven apartment residents, watched the bus open and close at subsequent stops without adding or removing any passengers.
It was not until noon of the day that they left the previously abandoned urban area and arrived at a hilly land scattered with withered and yellow weeds along a bumpy and rotten concrete road. In this hilly area, a very abrupt and towering One near In front of a thousand-meter-high mountain, at the intersection at the foot of the mountain, bus No. 444 finally stopped its wheels and announced the name they had been waiting for:
"Dead Wind Mountain is here, please passengers who need to get on or off the bus. Get on and off the bus in an orderly manner, next stop It's: Rotten Bone Lake."
"Get off the bus! It's time to climb the mountain! Don't run around!"
It took several hours to reach the destination. On the ground, Wang Zhifan and other four players began to get busy. The four of them were arranged with Wang Zhifan and the petite assassin girl in front, the young mage and the middle-aged gunman in the back, covering the seven apartment residents in the middle. Then the eleven people climbed together along the rocky steps in front of them.
According to the Scarlet Mission, they need to climb to the top of the mountain before six o'clock in the afternoon, and then watch the sunset for an hour, and then they can leave here and return to the apartment. According to the current remaining time and the height of the mountain in front of them and the conditions of the mountain road, , this requirement seems not difficult to fulfill.
But after a while, several people caught a glimpse of several strange figures above the mountain road.
