The Taoist Boss Is Dominating The Horror World - Chapter 15
Chapter 15: Mission Two: The Death Bus
The dagger slowly slid downward, and the surroundings were eerily quiet.
The sound, akin to a blade cutting through pig skin, was unnervingly chilling.
More and more blood oozed from the cut, staining the white walls red with large bloodstains, a shocking sight.
Qing Li stopped just in time, withdrawing the dagger as the cut on the wall gradually disappeared.
“Number 91, did you find anything?” Bai Yueyue asked, bracing herself.
“It feels thinner, not like pig skin, more like human skin,” Qing Li said with a sinister smile.
The expressions of the other three were grim.
Could it be that this was not a sealed room at all, but rather they were inside some kind of monster?
The more they thought about it, the more terrifying it seemed.
Qing Li’s actions did not trigger any system warnings, and the blood on the walls began to congeal.
—
The last bus was moving at a steady pace, and I sat in the driver’s seat, forcibly keeping my tired eyes open.
Passing through here again…
A deep, soul-stirring fear made me shudder.
The sound of something crawling on the roof of the bus made my heart race, and my hands shook uncontrollably on the steering wheel.
It’s coming, it’s happening again…
“Bang—”
A decayed face smashed into the front windshield, and a mass of something squirmed out from beneath the skin of the face.
I screamed in despair, crying out, until finally, I calmed down…
“I… will wait for you there!”
—
The last sentence of the blood writing is chilling.
“What exactly is ‘that place’?”
What terrifying experience did the driver go through?
The blood increases, staining the entire wall red, the space around distorts and breaks, everything disappears.
In an instant, Qing Li and the others find themselves in an unfamiliar environment.
Qing Li’s wristwatch vibrates, she looks down to check the mission details.
Game Name: Death Bus.
Danger Level: 4 Stars.
Mission: Ride the bus to the final stop.
Tip 1: Players should sit in their assigned seat number and not switch seats with anyone.
Tip 2: Encrypted (Unlock with 10,000 popularity points)
Tip 3: Encrypted (Unlock with 30,000 popularity points)
“Why is it 4 stars?” Li Tao is shocked and dismayed.
A 4-star mission is akin to hellish difficulty, almost certainly fatal.
“Why is our mission so difficult? The highest rank among us is only number 69.” Wang Ge’s expression is equally grim.
They naturally don’t suspect Qing Li, as in the history of the Thriller Live Room, there’s never been an instance where a new player affects the difficulty of a mission.
Seeing the utterly disgusted expressions of his three teammates, Qing Li offers comfort: “Don’t worry too much, I have amulets here – safety charms, protective charms, and evil-warding charms. Only 100,000 each, guaranteed to keep you safe and ward off all ghosts.”
The corners of the others’ mouths twitch…
Even in this situation, this charlatan isn’t forgetting to swindle money.
Seeing that none of them are buying, Qing Li can only shake her head, lamenting how hard it is to make money and eat ????!
A dim yellow streetlight dispels a small patch of darkness, with chilling winds blowing fiercely, cold to the bone.
Qing Li wraps herself tightly in a little cotton coat, her hands stuffed into the sleeves, packing herself up snugly.
Not far away, the glaring high beams gradually approach.
In Qing Li’s inventory, a yellowed bus ticket appears. She clicks to retrieve it, and on the ticket, two conspicuous numbers are printed—number 44.
“Ah, such an auspicious number.”
The other three players also take out their bus tickets, anxiously waiting for the bus to arrive.
The Death Bus.
The word “death” hangs over their hearts, bringing a sense of despair.
“Creak—”
An old bus stops under the bus sign, its door opening with a screeching, fierce noise in the pitch-black night.
Qing Li takes a glance at the bus. Its body was originally white, but the paint is mottled and peeling, with a dark red at the bottom. The tires are smeared with unidentifiable flesh and blood, emitting a rotten smell.
[It feels like this bus is very eerie, more like a hearse in appearance.] (??????: ? ??????? ??? ????????? ??? ?????? ?? ? ???????.)
[Through the screen, I can feel a chill; this bus is very sinister!]
[At this moment, I really wish I had a protective amulet from a village girl, (???)]
Li Tao is the first to board the bus, bracing himself against his inner fear, but the trembling of his thighs betrays him.
Once on the bus and seeing the scene inside, he almost cries.
Can he still get off the bus now, rolling and crawling?
“Hurry up, what kind of man dawdles like this?”
From the driver’s seat, a hoarse voice suddenly rings out.
Startled, Li Tao quickly finds his seat according to the number on the ticket and sits down.
Fortunately, there was an empty seat next to him, so he didn’t have to squeeze in with those disgusting and terrifying ghosts.
After Bai Yueyue boarded the bus, she also looked pale. She quietly sat behind Li Tao, in her seat.
The two exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with helplessness and bitterness.
Wang Ge’s seat was next to Li Tao, which relieved him.
In the face of fear, being with one’s own kind increases the sense of security.
The three of them sitting together felt much more at ease.
Qing Li was the last to board the bus. Due to the dawdling of the first three players, a lot of time was wasted, and the driver, annoyed, suddenly revved the engine.
Due to inertia, Qing Li hadn’t found a seat yet. She stumbled and grabbed at a seat next to her.
“Pfft.”
Her fingers poked into the eye socket of a female ghost. The ghost’s eyeball was punctured on the spot, and the sticky sensation made Qing Li scream in horror: “Ahh—”
So dirty, so dirty…
She frantically wiped her hand on the ragged clothes of the female ghost. After all, her clothes were already stained with blood, so she probably wouldn’t mind getting a bit dirtier!
Innocent female ghost: “…”
The other three players: “…”
(??: ?’? ???????? ?? ??? ??? ????)
This player number 91, really knows how to create a scene!
“Sorry, beauty, I didn’t mean to do it. It’s all the driver’s fault for not driving steadily. I hadn’t found my seat yet when he suddenly started the car, causing me to lose my balance. It’s all his fault. If you have a grudge, take it out on him. If you want someone to compensate for your eyeball, go find the driver. If he refuses to compensate, let’s file a complaint against him.”
Qing Li rattled off a bunch of excuses, shifting the blame to the driver. The one-eyed female ghost was originally very angry, but her mood softened a bit when Qing Li called her “beauty.”
It had been so long since anyone had called her that.
“Fine, just be more careful next time.”
The female ghost’s voice was cold and piercing, but she didn’t lose her temper.
Qing Li gratefully said, “Thank you, sister. You really are a beautiful and kind-hearted fairy!”
If it weren’t for the female ghost’s face being so rotten that it was no longer human, the audience in the live broadcast would definitely see her shy and blushing.
[Originally thought that the village girl would directly throw a talisman, but didn’t expect that she actually managed to persuade with her verbal skills.]
[It seems that ghosts also like flattery!]
[Taking notes, another day of learning.]
“Be quiet, return to your place.”
The driver’s hoarse voice came again, mixed with faint dissatisfaction and resentment.
Qing Li shrugged her shoulders, she was about to sit back in her place, when she suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar face…”
