Chapter 244: Nineteen Roads
Starter couldn't help but shudder at the stares of this hair-making gaze, suddenly feeling that her actions were a little reckless.
"Is it past the time to see a doctor..."Gu Yi asked softly on the side.
"Come here." Mr. X didn't look at Gu Yi, staring at Star Swirl with a pair of blue eyes and said sternly.
Star Swirl knew he was upset, but obediently walked over to him. I was about to look up at him, but I was grabbed by the wrist.
The cold finger was on Star Swirl's wrist, and the force with which he grabbed was negligible, but the cold touch made her squint slightly.
Mr. X looked down at Star Swirl's slightly stunned face, pursed the corner of his lower lip, and with a flick of his wrist, he took her left hand.
Seeing this, Gu Yi silently placed Gu Xi behind him on the sofa, looked at him worriedly, looked at the two people on the side, and opened his mouth just to ask something.
"Less contact with him." Mr. X pulled Star Swirl behind him, and his gaze finally turned to Gu Xi.
Gu Yi's face changed, and he asked in a trembling voice, "This disease... Is it contagious? ”
Mr. X nodded slightly, then leaned down and whispered a few words in Star Swirl's ear, who willingly agreed to walk out the door.
Seeing that Star Swirl was leaving, Gu Yi stopped her a little dazedly, "Hyosung, where are you going?" ”
"You stay here in peace, I'll go back as soon as I go." Star Swirl waved at Gu Yi and walked out of the mental clinic without waiting for him to ask any more questions.
After leaving the office, Star Swirl makes a beeline for bus stop 19.
In the past few days, I have been fixed by the abandoned platform, and I have never thought about where the No. 19 bus will go after the reroute.
Maybe new clues will be found.
Star Swirl looks up at the 19 stop signs, and takes a cursory look at the names of each stop. Looking at it, I suddenly found that a woman's figure was reflected in the glass of the stop sign.
It seemed to be on the platform across the road, and a woman dressed in black was secretly watching her.
Star Swirl pulls her phone out of her bag and tries to take a picture when she passes by a car, but as the car drives away from her, the woman watching her on the other side is nowhere to be seen.
Star Swirl held her phone and looked around as if the woman had never appeared.
A flash of lightning streaked across the sky, followed by a few muffled thunders, heavy clouds crushing overhead, and a storm approaching.
Just as Star Swirl was distracted, a bus staggered out of the rain toward her, gradually appearing in her field of vision.
It's bus number 19. The bus did not close the doors after the doors were opened and the passengers got off. Six or seven seconds later, the unkempt middle-aged driver was still staring straight at the station across the road.
Star Swirl got into the car with some confusion, and heard the passenger impatiently urging, "What are you looking at, drive quickly." ”
The driver came back to his senses and stepped on the accelerator in a trance. The doors close and the car slowly moves forward, Star Swirl staring at the platform across from her until it disappears into the rain.
Inky clouds squeezed the sky, as if it were about to fall, so depressed that the whole world was silent.
The air conditioning in the car was on sufficiently, and Star Swirl felt chills with her arms folded.
Just now, she roughly looked at the names of the various stations of Route 19, and almost none of them could be associated with "Rest Road", except for the terminal station, Xin'an Hospital.
The scenery outside the window was rapidly receding, and the car gradually drove away from the city. The silhouettes of buildings in the distance became somewhat blurred in the rain, and the number of vehicles on the road gradually decreased.
The dim light dimmed through the rain curtain, and the rain continued to get heavier.
Arrive at the station ahead, Yiyuan Building. The bus slowly stopped at the edge of the platform, the door opened, and a woman in a black raincoat walked up.
Star Swirl rubbed her eyes, confused, wasn't this woman just waiting across the road? How did it suddenly appear here?
Maybe I'm wrong.
The woman lowered her head, her rain-soaked forehead sticking to her face, and her pursed lips were pursed. She passed by Star Swirl, her raincoat dripping.
Star Swirl looked at the woman with her peripheral vision, unable to see her face clearly, but felt the temperature around her drop a few degrees more. The woman in the black raincoat sat silently behind Star Swirl.
Star Swirl could feel the gaze of the woman behind her, and it wasn't a good feeling to be spied on. She stood up and walked to the window on the other side of the bus and sat down.
Star Swirl looked around, and there were only five passengers left on the bus. In addition to himself and the weird woman in the black raincoat, there is also a mother and daughter and a young man.
The young man, probably in his early twenties, was playing with his phone with his headphones down, completely oblivious to the situation in the car. Probably going to the terminal, Star Swirl guessed.
And the girl in the arms of the middle-aged woman in the back row kept making noises. She got up from her position curiously, craned her neck to look out the window: "Mom, why haven't you arrived yet?" ”
The woman grabbed the child's arm, pulled her back into her position, and pretended to be angry, "Sit quietly, or that uncle will take you away." ”
The woman pointed to the young man in the front row, but she didn't see him frowning at this time, and the corners of his eyes were full of disdain.
The child in the woman's arms was not frightened by this, and turned to look at the woman in the black raincoat, and suddenly her mouth was deflated and she began to cry.
"I'm sorry, Mommy shouldn't have scared you." The woman thought that what she said frightened the child, and hurriedly coaxed softly.
"That aunt's face... It's scary. The child hid in his mother's arms and no longer dared to look at the woman in the front row.
It's impossible to see the woman's face from the mother's and daughter's perspective, Star Swirl thinks as she looks at the back of her black raincoat as she suddenly sees the driver's eyes in the bus's rearview mirror.
The eyes were clearly staring at Star Swirl, and when she looked in the rearview mirror, the driver immediately avoided her.
There are two worlds inside and outside the car, and Star Swirl suddenly thinks of the scene in the game, and it seems that it is also in such a rainy night that she hitched a ride on the car to rest on the road.
Half an hour later, the terminal of Route 19 finally arrived. Except for the young man, who got off the bus halfway through, everyone else was still in the car.
The lights are dim, and Star Swirl passes by the black raincoat and sees her still sitting quietly in her seat, as if she has no intention of getting off, while the mother and daughter leave the bus as if they were running away before Star Swirl.
Stepping out of the car, Star Swirl looked back at the driver, who was immobilized as if he had been immobilized, but his facial muscles were strained, and his eyes bulged outward, as if they were about to fall out.
Star Swirl thought for a moment and asked, "You... You okay? ”
At this moment, the door slammed shut, and the car continued to drive forward, and it was already deserted in the distance.
