Chapter 16 Funeral Bus
The empty waiting platform, except for the street lamps and all the lights outside the security room that have been turned off, is really asleep under some strange influence. In addition to the fog that suddenly fills the station that you can see because of your own ghost pupil, everything will feel extremely wrong.
But the most wrong thing was the bus that stopped in front of the platform at this time.
The lights in the car are very dim, and at a cursory glance, the driver who drove the car is still wearing the uniform of the driver of the old station in the East District, but the uniform is obviously different from the current one, and it should be the old uniform many years ago. After parking, Li Wen could see through the window that this person was very tall, and he was sitting motionless in the driver's seat, and he didn't turn his head to look at it at all, as if he was a dead man.
There was a sound of footsteps in the passage, and seven people walked in from outside the station with their luggage, without going to other platforms, and the purpose was the No. 4 station entrance where Li Wen was.
"These are also the people in the car?"
Almost every one of these people is wearing a mask, and even then it can be seen that most of them are in their thirties, and one of them walking in the middle has a scar on his forehead, and he has been looking at Li Wen along the way.
"You're the one who came to ride tonight?"
Li Wen picked up the flyer in his hand and gestured, and the man took the flyer and looked at it, "It's true." His face was visibly relieved, and then he actually took out an old-fashioned lighter, and lost the leaflet in front of Li Wen, and then pinched up some ashes, put it in his mouth through the underside of the mask, and tasted the ashes after the leaflet was burned.
"This batch of flyers should have been sent out seven years ago, how could it be distributed at this time?"
Shocked by this person's actions and words, Li Wen gestured to the security room on the side.
The scar man looked at the old man lying in the window.
"Don't worry, he's really fallen asleep and can't wake up."
"Only people with leaflets are allowed to get on this car, and when this car comes, no one else can see it."
I saw the bus when I closed my eyes and took seven steps backwards from the sign on platform 4 and felt a fog rise around me. And the men entered the station almost immediately. Is it a dream? Or is it a different space? He immediately dismissed the speculation. In the distance, you can also see the city lights of the East End, and the unique noise of the city is also coming from afar, I must still be at this station, but when this strange car comes, a strange force surrounds the surroundings, so that only the person with the flyer can stay awake.
Maybe something was smeared on this leaflet.
"Anyway, if you get the flyer, you're eligible to go up."
Under the urging of this person, Li Wen finally walked up.
Everything in the carriage looks like an old-fashioned bus from many years ago, with rusty handrails and plastic and wooden seats, and the previous people have long since sat in different positions.
Li Wen chose the seat at the back of the car, which is a specific position that he usually likes, and sitting in this position, he can detect every move in the car at any time.
But this time it was different, Li Wen lowered his head almost the moment he sat down.
When the car started, I could feel that the car had already driven out of the East Station and into the street outside, and I could even hear the occasional horn of other cars on the side of the street.
And these voices all disappeared after 5 minutes.
According to the original route of the No. 4 bus, it is necessary to go to the suburbs for a few stops before returning to the city. But in Li Wen's ears, the sound of cars on the city streets has not sounded again since it disappeared before. The car drove out of the suburbs as normal, but did not drive back into the city like other cars.
"Except for the lower temperature in the carriage, there is nothing special about the others, the previous scar man sat in front of Li Wen intentionally or unintentionally, and the others were scattered everywhere."
"Two by the front and back doors."
"One in the passenger seat."
"The remaining three are in the middle of the car. There were only seven people, and it felt like all the seats in the car were full. The eyes could see the fields and woods floating vaguely outside the window, but it was the middle of the night in the wilderness, and the ghost knows where the car had gone? By the way, I still have a cell phone. After opening the positioning of the mobile phone map, Li Wen was stunned after just one glance.
The car has been driving for more than 20 minutes, and the location displayed on the mobile phone is still at the previous Dongcheng District Station!
After another ten minutes, the car stopped for the first time.
"This is the first station?"
"No, in terms of the distance between the platforms, it must have been several stops in such a long time, but the bus in the middle of the night will not stop at all if there is no one at the stop. That is to say, there are people coming up at this station. ”
After the sound of the car door opening, footsteps were heard one after another. Li Wen didn't dare to raise his head, but he was able to take a twisted movement, bent down and squatted down from the seat, turned his head upside down and looked at the scene outside from the gap under the seat.
The lights in the carriage were already very dim, and no one noticed him. The seven people in the seats before had all walked to the door, but there was a rusty stop sign on the dirt road outside the door, but a mouthful of things placed next to the road made Li Wen's eyes widen. It was a coffin.
The brand-new mahogany coffin can be seen through the lacquer on it.
The seven men carried the coffin into the car in silence and placed it in the middle of the aisle. The doors closed, and no one spoke during the whole process, as if these people had become unusually proficient. Just before these people came back, Li Wen had quickly sat back in his seat.
To Li Wen, this is not a bus at all.
At this time, the four-way car is more like a hearse.
"The coffin is placed in the middle, and these seven people are sitting around, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a funeral posture."
From a certain moment on, the carriage became no longer quiet, and the sound of a thump began to be heard, at first one or two, then more and more urgently, and louder. The sound came from inside the coffin.
"What's going on?"
"People have died a long time ago, it seems that the soul is not very quiet, and there should still be a breath of vitality." It was the scar man who was sitting in front of Li Wen who spoke, and the person sitting in the co-driver also opened his mouth and said, "No matter what, it's all outdated, and we can continue to sit down after the fire is burned clean and the car is fed." ”
Li Wen instantly heard that this person was the person who answered his phone in the afternoon. And after this person spoke, he also glanced at Li Wen, who was sitting with his head bowed at the back of the carriage.
Seven people got up one after another and walked to the middle of the carriage, opened the lid of the coffin, stood around the coffin, took out knives and cut their own hands, and then dripped blood into the coffin. Even with his head upside down, Li Wen could see clearly through the bottom of the seat.
These people have more or less cut marks on their hands, obviously this kind of thing has been done many times, not counting the driver who continues to drive, the people sitting at the front and rear doors, there are more scratches on their hands, and the co-pilot man in the afternoon has the most wound marks.
The whole coffin began to shake violently, and at the same time the old bus began to whistle.
If there were no ghost pupils, Li Wen believed that he would never see this scene. It was a tentacle-like black and white eerie flame rising from the coffin, and a twisted figure was constantly struggling in the fire, being dragged down and dragged into the bottom of the coffin.
No, it's more like being dragged into the floor of this bus.
The scar man in the front row turned his head.
"Anyway, if you pick up this flyer and get in the car, you're qualified to be one of us."
Li Wen lowered his head and forcibly kept himself calm, in addition to applying cinnabar, his hand was even more tightly pinched on the handle of the portable shovel. He had long seen that these people were actually all living people, but this was the most important point, although they were living people, the appearance of these people had some vague signs in the ghost pupils.
made a decision in an instant, and it was absolutely impossible for this group of people to know that they had ghost pupils and see the scene just now clearly.
"What is the name of that coffin, what are you doing when you go around and cut your hands?"
"You're here for the first time, you don't need to do it, you only need to do one thing today."
"What's the matter?"
The afterglow of his eyes could feel the movements of the scar man, he had already taken off his mask, and in the dark compartment, the scar man said quietly to Li Wen, who was still bowing his head.
"You just have to look up and take a look."
