Chapter 1: Death is coming
"It's cold! It's cold!"
"Yesterday it was sunny and good, but today it suddenly became cloudy, and it dared to snow. ”
"If I knew this, I wouldn't come out, how good it would be to stay at home. ”
In front of a stop sign, more than a dozen people were waiting for the bus, including two young people, a man and a woman, talking.
I only heard the woman say: "Frozen me to death, why did this ghost weather suddenly become so cold?"
"It's winter, of course it's cold. The man said disapprovingly, then looked at her, "Put your hand in my coat pocket and I'll warm you up." ”
"Hee-hee!" the woman grinned, turned to face the man, and put her hands in the pockets of his down jacket. The man also put his hands in and took her hand, and the two of them hugged each other for warmth.
The woman's eyes glanced around, and suddenly lowered her voice, leaned close to the man's ear, and whispered, "Look at that person, wearing so few clothes. ”
The man glanced back, then asked, "Which one?"
The woman whispered, "The one in the blue coat." ”
The man glanced at the crowd, then immediately turned around and said indifferently, "What do you care about others?"
The woman seemed very interested in this, and then laughed, "Doesn't he feel cold when he wears so few clothes?"
The man pursed his lips and made a disdainful expression, "The cold ghost knows that maybe he has no clothes to wear." Seeing that his clothes are so old, he has obviously been wearing them for several years, and it is normal for this kind of poor ghost to be unable to afford clothes. ”
"Shhhhhh ”
Xu Mo couldn't help but shrink back and take a step back. He vaguely felt that these two people were talking about themselves.
Today, he's going to an interview, a job in a quality inspection factory.
He is a taciturn person, not good at expressing his inner thoughts through words, and he is unlucky, every time he wants to do something, he will always encounter this or that problem inexplicably, and he will not succeed after all.
After graduating the year before last, in the past two years, I have worked countless part-time jobs, but because of that bad luck, I have never even found a decent job.
And his parents both disappeared mysteriously in the year he graduated, and their lives and deaths are still unknown. He has gone through hardships, and his life is getting more and more difficult day by day, how can he have any money to buy extra clothes? The man's words just spoke of his sore spots, and he couldn't help but feel a sour in his heart, and tears were about to fall.
In such a cold weather, there was no wind, and the temperature of his body was constantly dissipating, and he tightened the clothes on his body, but found it useless.
He only wore a pair of pants on his lower body, and a T-shirt that was only worn in spring and autumn in his jacket on his upper body, so he naturally couldn't keep warm.
Looking at the sky, the sky was gray, and there seemed to be no hope in sight, he sighed, lowered his head, and his eyes were blank.
At this time, he heard the sound of a car engine, turned his head to look, a bus slowly drove over, stopped in front of him, he took a look, and suddenly his heart was happy, this is a 645 bus, it is the one he is waiting for.
Without thinking, he walked out of the crowd, walked towards the front door, jumped onto the bus, and was about to throw in coins, when he suddenly heard a person scolding: "Go down, this car has been packed." ”
Xu Mo was stunned when he heard this, and looked at the person who spoke, who was a man in his thirties, sitting in the driver's seat, looking at him indifferently.
It was this person who spoke to him just now.
This person was wearing a black suit, holding the steering wheel with both hands, but carrying a briefcase on his right shoulder.
Looking at his dress, he doesn't look like a bus driver at all, but like a salesman in the financial bond or insurance industry.
At the same time, with a flash of his eyes, Xu Mo found that in the first seat behind the man, there was a person sitting in his forties, who was wearing the uniform of the bus company, more like a bus driver than the man in the driver's seat.
At this time, I don't know what was going on, the man's expression was dull, his eyes were looking ahead, and he didn't look at Xu Mo.
Just after a moment's delay, the man who was driving waved his hand again, and said impatiently to Xu Mo: "Go down, go down, hurry up." ”
Xu Mo glanced at the other people in the car, and the other passengers looked almost exactly the same as the man in uniform, all of them looked sluggish and depressed. No one looked at him.
Xu Mo hurriedly glanced at it, didn't look closely, sighed, and got off the bus, and when the bus got down, he immediately closed the door, started it, and drove forward, and in an instant, it was far away.
Xu Mo took advantage of the bus to leave, glanced at the rear of the bus, and remembered the license plate number of the bus - 62975.
I thought: The bus was packed, I have never heard of it, it must be this driver who violated the rules, made money privately, and rented the car to others, do you want to report him?
He pondered for a while, and finally shook his head, gave up this plan, reported it himself, and it had to be useful, I was afraid that even if it was reported, the bus company would only treat it as a trivial matter, and deal with a few words to himself, so he laughed it off, put it aside, and no longer cared about it, but wasted his phone bill.
So he took out his phone, and as soon as he dialed the first number, he sighed, hung up the phone, and put it back in his pocket.
At the same time, he vaguely felt that something was wrong, on the bus, he seemed to find something at a glance, very strange, but he didn't pay attention at the time, just glanced at it casually, and then withdrew his gaze, so what was strange, he couldn't remember it at this time.
And the driver's behavior, he also felt that it was inappropriate, he was driving, why didn't he put down the briefcase on his shoulder? What was there in the briefcase that made him pay so much attention? What happened to the uniformed man behind him and the passengers in the car? Why did he look so strange?
But these things didn't have much to do with him, they just went through it in his mind, and then he was thrown aside and stopped care.
He shrank back in the cold wind, glanced to his right, and continued to wait for the bus to arrive.
Ten minutes later, another 645 came, and before the bus approached, a few people in the crowd waiting for the bus walked out of the city and waved at the bus, and among these people, there were a man and a woman who had talked about Xu Mo before.
Xu Mo was secretly surprised in his heart, these people were also taking the No. 645 bus, why did not anyone move when the car drove over just now? Could it be that they already knew that the car in Lu Dao had been chartered? But the car did not have the slightest obvious feature, how did these people see it?
It's just that after such a hesitation, others got into the car first and fell behind.
Xu Mo didn't think much about it, boarded the car, and was about to put in the coin, when he glanced at the bus driver, but he couldn't help but let out a soft 'huh' and was stunned.
"Huh!"
The bus driver was very familiar, he had just met not long ago, it was the man who was sitting in the first seat behind the driver on the bus in front of him.
This man had just taken a bus shortly ago, so why did he go back and drive a bus himself?
Looking at this person's expression, it was completely different from when he had just passed, when Xu Mo saw him just now, he seemed to be very tired, his expression was sluggish, and he looked lost and depressed. Now it looks like a different person, that sluggish look is gone, and the whole person is in good spirits.
He immediately noticed that Xu Mo was looking at him, turned his head, glanced at him, and said unhappily, "Is there something wrong?"
"It's fine. Xu Mo laughed, turned his face, and walked towards the car.
The driver looked at him again, then turned away, and said nothing.
Xu Mo was puzzled, and after walking a few steps, he found a seat and sat down.
In front of him, there was a student girl, about fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing a white school uniform with the words 'Yuyang Middle School' on the back of the uniform, which was supposed to be a high school student.
The student girl was on this bus the previous stop, and she was fiddling with her mobile phone with her head down, and the bus stopped at the stop, and when they got on the bus, they didn't raise their heads to take a look.
The bus kept moving forward, and after a few stops, people got on the bus one after another.
Xu Mo was uneasy after all, and couldn't help but reach out and gently tap the back of the student girl, the student girl turned around and looked at him unhappily, "What's the matter?"
"Ahh
Xu Mo couldn't help but be shocked when he saw the face of the student girl, this student girl, like the driver, was indescribably familiar. He suddenly remembered that he seemed to have seen her on the bus in front of him, and that she was sitting in her seat at that time.
What's going on?
He was terrified in his heart, and he was inexplicably frightened, and he forgot to answer the student's words for a while.
The student girl saw that he looked strange, ignored herself, and was just in a daze, suddenly felt inexplicable, and scolded in a low voice: "Neurotic!" Then she stood up, walked away, and sat down in a different seat.
Xu Mo thought about it for a while, suddenly remembered something, and asked the driver loudly: "Master, what is the license plate number of your car?"
The driver didn't look back, "62975, what's wrong?"
62975?
Xu Mo's face suddenly became ugly and abnormal, and he couldn't say a word, isn't this license plate number the license plate number of the car that passed earlier? Could it be that this car turned back halfway and came back again?
He turned his head and looked behind him, and saw that the two men and women who had talked about him at first were now sitting side by side in the two seats closest to the exit door.
Suddenly, he remembered that when he got into the car not long ago, he felt something was wrong.
The man and the woman were in the car, sitting in the seats they are now.
He suddenly felt creepy, what the hell did he see?
At that moment, the bus stopped again, reached another stop, the front door opened, and a man walked on.
Xu Mo glanced up at the man, and his whole body was shocked.
