There was silence in the carriage, and there was no sound except for the roar of the bus.

Ji Shuze rubbed his fingers, glanced at the station card, and looked at the darkness in the back compartment uneasily.

From the moment he got on the bus, he felt that something was wrong with the rear compartment, after all, not every bus likes to make the back of the bus black.

When things go wrong, there must be demons.

The eerie silence of the place at this time always felt a little strange to him.

He hesitated, closed his eyes, and placed his hand on the armchair, his thumb tapping lightly on the armrest, trying to beat the rhythm slowly.

The tapping sound was small, like a Morse signal from a telegraph.

Ji Shuze concentrated, concentrating all his spiritual power in the sound waves emitted, and he felt as if he was one with the waves of sound waves, slowly expanding into the distance.

The sound was transmitted outward in the air in a rippled circle, and his soul seemed to follow the ripples to the darkness little by little, diving into this mysterious abyss.

Suddenly, the ripples in the darkness at the foreground seemed to be in some way and retreated.

Ji Shuze was shocked in his heart, and the ripples seemed to hit him in the heart.

Just as bats can use ultrasound waves to find their way, Ji Shuze can also roughly depict the shape of obstacles ahead according to the sound waves of retreat, which is an ability of his [Desperate Pianist].

At this time, the sound wave signal intermittently entered his brain, and the interval between each ripple was extremely dense, and it was obvious that the obstacles were also dense, as if the rear compartment was crowded with people.

Ji Shuze thought uneasily.

And so on –

Packed with people......

Just like being splashed with a basin of cold water in winter, the signal of the sound wave gave Ji Shuze a terrifying guess, his hairs stood on end, and the blood all over his body seemed to be pouring towards the top of his head.

The image depicted by the sound waves remained quiet in his mind.

The image depicted with simple lines shows impressively-

The rear compartment was indeed crowded with "people", and almost the entire rear compartment of the No. 107 bus was crowded.

Ji Shuze's heart tightened, and it became very difficult to even swallow his saliva, he felt that his hand on the armrest was trembling, and a cold cold went to the bottom of his heart.

He resisted his desire to get up and run away, he knew that if he wanted to become stronger, if he wanted to avenge his mother, he had to face this, and he didn't want to rely on other people's help anymore to survive.

Su Que glanced at the afterglow of her eyes and found his panic and nervousness, she quietly glanced at the darkness in the back compartment, turned her head and patted Ji Shuze on the shoulder, and whispered in his ear:

"Don't be afraid, they won't dare to make trouble on the territory of Elysium."

"But ......"

Ji Shuze was about to say something, but a mechanical female voice from the driver's seat suddenly sounded, interrupting him:

"Doll Mansion - arrived, passengers getting off the back door please, ahead to the station - Peach Blossom Spring."

A clear voice resounded throughout the carriage.

The darkness in the back compartment swelled, and the sound of "clack" footsteps and clothes rubbing against the ground sounded in everyone's ears, which was particularly harsh in the silence of the carriage.

Everyone in the car felt creepy, and a cold wind blew behind them, and they all aimed their worried eyes at the surging rear compartment.

Ji Shuze's face turned a little pale.

As the back door of the bus slowly opened, two "human" figures emerged from the rear compartment.

Two dirty brown bear dolls of different sizes, with weird smiles on their faces, emerged from the back compartment.

The larger one, two people tall, had its head firmly pressed against the ceiling, its big head hanging limply, its eyes made of black glass beads staring at the carriage without focus, its mouth sewn with brown thread curled into a strange smile, and its left arm, covered with artificial hair, had been cut wide, revealing the white cotton inside, hanging softly at its side, and two huge bear paws on the ground.

The smaller brown bear followed closely behind the big brown bear, one glass eye was broken, and the other glass eye was staring at Ji Shuze, with an identical smile hanging between his lips.

Ji Shuze felt a chill all over his body, and his body was almost frozen into a piece of ice.

Su Que didn't feel anything chilling, she squinted and looked at the big and small brown bears carefully.

- No wonder it's so familiar, it turns out to be a post-apocalyptic creature of the Doll Mansion.

Su Que thought clearly.

In the last years, her courage has already been trained.

Su Que glanced at Ji Shuze, and saw that his face was already white with fright, but he understood very well. After all, the creatures she saw in the Doll Mansion for the first time weren't much better than him.

Su Que touched his hand and moved to the right, silently blocking its view, and turned sideways to reveal the big Happiness logo on the window behind him.

The golden word "Happiness" is especially dazzling in the sunlight.

The little brown bear glanced at Su Que with a smile, and paused when he glanced at the sign on the car window.

Happiness's shadow was clearly reflected in its black glass sphere.

It didn't know what it thought, and it rolled its eyes and withdrew its gaze in fear.

Behind them came a dozen more big-headed dolls, dragging their sponge bodies and slowly getting out of the car with the same smiles, and their steps were numbing.

The sound of clothes rubbing against the ground sounded, and everyone in the car looked at the team in horror, and no one dared to speak.

The young professor seemed to have expected that he didn't look at this team, but just looked at Ji Shuze inquiringly, and an unknown light flashed in his eyes.

The couple stared blankly at what was happening, their facial muscles seemed to stiffen, not knowing how to react, and there were even unshed tears on the girl's face.

I don't know how long later, the darkness in the back compartment calmed down, and the back door of the bus slowly closed, staggering down the road.

The cold wind was blowing, and the weather outside was still gloomy and terrible, with black clouds, just like the hearts of everyone in the car.

The bright and extinguishing sunlight entered the carriage, but it could no longer penetrate the hearts of the people, and everyone looked at the dark shadows in horror, as if a terrible monster might emerge there at any moment, and eat them with their bloody mouths open.

Su Que looked at the small advertisement on the car absentmindedly, she had long expected the person sitting in the dark.

The business of the Elysium covers a wide range of areas, advocating that everyone is equal, even if it is a monster, in the eyes of the Elysium, there is also the right to be a monster. As long as you don't disturb the business of Paradise, it doesn't matter who takes the bus.

Therefore, the seemingly strange layout of the bus belonging to the Elysium is actually to prepare for the implementation of the policy of equality between people and "people".

The six seats facing each other in front are for the light-sensitive survivors, and the light bulbs and windows are designed to protect them from the creatures behind them. The seats hidden in the darkness at the back are for the post-apocalyptic creatures who can't see the light, and the darkness can ensure their safety, so there is no open window.

This arrangement greatly ensures that the business of Kek Los is broadened and that the principle of freedom and equality is carried out.

This information is well known to future generations.

Bus No. 107 slowly drove towards Peach Blossom Spring.

Everyone in the carriage did not speak, each thinking about his own thoughts.

The couple on the opposite side sat in their seats with a little pale faces, bowing their heads and whispering something, as if great fear had brought them closer.

The young professor leaned back in his chair with a calm expression, his bleeding left arm stopped at some point, the dried blood seeped into Asacha's trench coat, and his soft facial features were reflected in the dim light—he was still sleeping.

Su Que looked at the time on the light blue watch on his wrist and was silent.

Not everyone is born brave, cowardice is not terrible, what is terrible is not knowing how to be strong.

Su Que glanced at the people on the carriage, and then refocused his gaze on the station schedule.

Now what she is really worried about is the upcoming arrival of the Peach Blossom Spring.

To be honest, she doesn't know much about the Peach Blossom Spring, but she glanced at all the stations in a circle, and those were almost all famous powerful locations in the last days of Vientiane in the later generations, although they were not so strong now, Su Que was still willing to gamble on the Peach Blossom Spring, and it was better to have a powerful location with the same level than not to bet on missing a chance to survive.

After making up his mind, Su Que sat on his seat and waited quietly for the arrival of the station.

In the interplay of light and dark, the yellowed old advertisements on the carriage 25 years ago seem to indicate a future where danger and opportunity coexist.
