Chapter 20: The Lost Ones
Wen Yu stood alone on the side of the road, waiting for the last bus of the night.
She felt very tired and had a headache, and she felt tired just by standing, but there was only one stop sign at this station, and there were no seats for people to rest, and she could only hope that there was a seat left on the last train.
The nearest street lamp to her suddenly flashed twice, and when she heard the rain, she realized that the street was so dark at night, and when the street lights went out for a few seconds, it seemed that the whole world was dark, only some vague outlines remained, and there were many shadows. I don't know if it's an afterimage left on the retina, or if it's in the dark, but there's something there......
She stood alone and waited for a long time, but no car came, and there was not even a pedestrian on the street.
"Maybe it's because it's a remote area." She said comfortingly.
A gust of wind blew, Wen Yu couldn't help but shiver, a girl stood on a deserted street for a long time in the middle of the night, and naturally felt a little frightened. Fortunately, at this time, the car she was waiting for came, and two car lights were lit at the end of the road, like a pair of eyes in the night, slowly approaching.
Dozens of seconds later, the last bus stopped in front of Wen Yu, the door opened, she walked up, and swiped her card casually. The driver just looked ahead with a numb expression, did not look at her, and when he heard the sound of swiping the card in the rain, he closed the car door.
There were only about thirty percent of the passengers on the car, and the seats were relatively spacious, so Wen Yu chose a double seat at the back to sit down, and then moved to the window position.
The driver put up gear and was about to step on the accelerator, when suddenly there was a knock on the door from outside.
"Master, open the door, thank you." A man's voice came from outside.
The driver didn't respond as if he hadn't heard the man, but he didn't continue to step on the gas.
The man continued: "Help, master, it's the last train, it's troublesome to miss it." β
After hesitating for a few seconds, the driver opened the door, his voice was nothing special, and he said calmly: "Hurry up." β
"Thank you, thank you, you've been so helpful." The man stepped into the car, a young man who looked to be in his early twenties, and had just taken a step forward when the door behind him closed again.
The young man took out two coins from his pocket and threw them into the coin box, then scanned the car with a very strange look, and then walked straight to Wen Yu's position, and sat directly next to Wen Yu without saying hello.
The driver said in a pattern: "It's all seated and driving." Then he stepped on the accelerator.
The bus was running smoothly, and it was still a quiet, dark street outside the window......
Wen Yu just glanced at the young man as he sat down, then turned his face and looked out of the car. She was actually a little unhappy in her heart, and said in her heart: There are so many empty seats, but this kid wants to sit next to me, and Bacheng is a person who wants to take the opportunity to talk.
But after thinking about it, she can't say anything, theoretically speaking, as long as you buy a ticket, passengers can choose every seat on the bus, without anyone's permission.
After about three minutes of driving, Wen Yu noticed more than once that the young man was peeking at him, and although this guy was playing with his mobile phone to cover up, his behavior was still obvious.
Wen Yu had to pretend not to know, and continued to look out the window, it's not that she feels too good about herself, objectively speaking, in fact, she is still quite beautiful, and this kind of thing is not the first time she has encountered it, she thinks it doesn't matter, just watch it if you like it, anyway, people have long faces just to show people.
After a few more minutes like this, Wen Yu glanced at the young man next to her "inadvertently", and she found that this kid's expression had become very serious and serious, and it could even be said to be fierce. But he didn't look at Wen Yu at the moment, but used this kind of gaze to stare at everyone in the car except Wen Yu.
Wen Yu felt inexplicable, she looked at the other people in the car again, but was surprised to find that the other passengers in the car were all looking at her, and she didn't know whether she was looking at the young man next to her or looking at herself.
Then, the passengers in front of them simply turned their necks, turned their heads, and stared at Wen Yu in a daze, their eyes were even more terrifying than the young people next to them, their pupils were constricted, and their faces were hideous, but they were trying their best to hide their looks, which made people shudder even more.
The person sitting behind her, Wen Yu couldn't see it, and she didn't have the courage to turn back, but she was almost sure that the people behind her were also staring at her, staring at the back of her spine.
Wen Yu decided to get off the train and make the next stop...... No, get off immediately, there must be something wrong with this bus.
"Can you please let me walk for a while?" She tried to keep her voice calm and said to the youth around her.
The young man glanced at her and replied, "Okay." He stood up, grabbed the handrail, and let Wen Yu pass.
Wen Yu walked to the back door, "Master, I'm going to get out of the car." β
The driver does not turn his head back; "When I'm renting out? Where do you want to go? β
Wen Yu bit his lower lip and hesitated for two seconds: "Master, I really have something urgent, just open the car door and let me go down." β
The driver didn't answer her again, and continued to drive, even speeding up.
At this time, Wen Yu's afterglow saw that all the passengers in the car were standing up, she couldn't see the expressions on their faces, but she could still feel that these people were all looking at her.
Wen Yu lowered her head, facing the back door, not daring to turn back, not daring to make a sound, she just hoped that the car would stop soon, and the door could be opened quickly, so that she could leave the strange bus.
At this moment, the young man suddenly shouted: "Stop! β
The driver and the other passengers were visibly stunned, and after a short silence, the driver spoke again: "What's the nerve...... Having said it's not a rental ......."
"Less! Stop me! The young man interrupted the driver with a roar.
Wen Yu turned her face, she found that the young man was standing behind her, holding the handrails on both sides of the back door with both hands open, all the passengers were blocked by him, and the hideous color on the faces of those people could no longer be hidden, and the pupils of several people were not even gone, and only the whites of their eyes were left in their eye sockets, but they were still looking at themselves directly.
The driver stopped talking, slowed down, and actually opened the back door.
Wen Yu ran out of the car, at this moment she was really scared, there was only one thought of running away in her mind, but just took two steps, she couldn't help but turn back again, she wanted to see if the young man had come down.
Wen Yu breathed a sigh of relief from the sight in front of her, and the young man also got out of the car and stood not far behind her. The terrifying bus had also faded away, and the two bright red taillights were like a dormant beast, returning to the darkness again and slowly disappearing......
The feeling of headache and exhaustion hit again after the nervous relaxation, Wen Yu smiled bitterly, and said that he was too tired and thought too much, I am afraid that he has been regarded as a neuropath.
The young man suddenly spoke: "Do you smell the rain?" β
Wen Yu's heartbeat accelerated again: "How do you know my name?" β
"Hello, my name is William, please believe that I am not a bad person." William revealed his identity first, even if he could win a trace of trust from the other party: "What I say next is very important, don't be afraid, listen carefully." He paused, then continued: "You've been missing for a week, your family reported the incident to the police five days ago, and your name and photo were published in the newspapers, so I know you." β
These words made Wen Yu's mind instantly stunned, and she instinctively replied: "How is it possible? I'm obviously ...... well" couldn't go on, because she didn't know what to say, and the fragments of memory flashed messily in front of her eyes, and the headache intensified.
William said, "Do you remember what you did today?" β
Wen Yu didn't know how to answer.
William asked, "Do you remember how you got to that station?" β
"I ...... I ......" still no answer.
William said, "Why did you take that bus?" β
"I'm going home!" Wen Yu suddenly roared hysterically, these four words didn't know whether they were answering William's question or expressing his psychological wishes.
William raised his head and looked behind Wen Yu: "The home you are talking about, which building is it?" β
Wen Yu slowly turned her already stiff neck, and behind her was a six-story apartment, which looked to be some years old, and there was bright red paint on the side wall marked with Arabic numeralsβ10.
Wen Yu's thoughts were even more confused, who is this William? Why did I suddenly get home? Could it be that the bus stopped because it had already arrived?
William said, "None of this is true. He pointed to Wen Yu's side: "Look." β
Wen Yu looked at the place William pointed to, and suddenly felt creepy, it was the stop sign! That street lamp! Are you still standing under the original station?
William wiped the sweat from his head, in fact, he was also very scared in his heart, maybe even more afraid than Wen Yu, but he had to make a calm appearance even if he was desperate, how to say that he was a ghost hunter, he couldn't tremble in front of the victim.
"You don't live at number 10." William said: "This station simply does not exist. Before he could finish speaking, the stop sign disappeared into thin air. And this street, do you think that in the urban area of S City, there will be such a street where there is not even a single shop on either side of the road, and there are no pedestrians? β
Wen Yu was about to collapse, and the feeling of exhaustion hit her like never before, and tears rolled in her eyes; "What's going on? Who are you? I...... What the hell is wrong with me? β
William held out his hand: "Grab my hand." β
Wen Yu didn't respond to him immediately, but turned his head again and glanced at his "home". The building looked so eerie at the moment, the mottled and twisted paint marks on the walls looked like a huge human face, and the black eyes were staring straight at Wen Yu.
Are these hallucinations? Is it a nightmare? There is a voice that tells Wen Yu, go home, everything is your cranky, William in front of you is just a pervert, run away quickly, go home, it'll be fine, everything will be fine.
The voice became clearer and clearer, and William in Wen Yu's eyes showed an obscene smile, and his cruel eyes seemed to be about to rush towards her in the next second, and his outstretched hand also became pale and his five fingers were like hooks.
"Give it to me!" William drank again.
But Wen Yu was retreating, the scene in her eyes did not change, and William's appearance was even more terrifying.
In the dark street, the wind has stopped, and at the end of the street, the two car lights are on again, slowly approaching......
