Volume 2: Ghost Invitation Chapter 0047 The Truth
The door slowly opened, and then a dark shadow flashed in from outside. Before Xiao Mo even had time to scream, the thing grabbed his shoulder and pulled him out of the room.
During the process, his head was hit hard, and he fell into an unconscious coma. Xiao Mo didn't know how long he had been in a coma, but after waking up, his head still hurt terribly, and his chest, which had been comfortable for a long time, began to feel uncomfortable.
“Ahem…!”
Amidst violent coughing, Xiao Mo raised his bloodless face. At the same time, a sinister face came over.
"ah--!"
Xiao Mo was startled and tried to get up and run away, but at this time the owner of that face spoke:
"Are you trying to scare me to death?"
The familiar voice calmed Xiao Mo down again, and it was only at this moment that he saw the man clearly - Lao Gao.
"It's you, I thought it was a ghost!"
Xiao Mo wiped the cold sweat from his face and stood up from the ground. Looking around, he found himself in a slowly moving bus. Zhang Tianyi, Li Shuai and others were also in the bus, but they all seemed to be in a coma.
"What's going on? Why am I here? Where are we going?"
Xiao Mo asked all his questions in one breath, and Lao Gao made a gesture to silence him, obviously afraid of waking up Li Shuai and the others. Seeing this, Xiao Mo nodded in understanding and waited for Lao Gao's answer later.
Lao Gao did not disappoint Xiao Mo and quickly gave an answer:
"We are on a ghost bus, or you can think of it as a ghost car, just like the ghost ship in some ghost movies. No one knows how it appeared, nor where in the world it is heading."
Hearing this, Xiao Mo hurriedly looked out the window. It was pitch black outside and he could hardly see anything. He could only make out that the car was driving on a road.
"This isn't the real world?"
"I don't know. It may or may not be related to the real world, but it seems different."
Lao Gao didn't seem to understand clearly either. He frowned as he spoke, and his face was full of worry. After a few seconds of silence, he said:
"You can think of this as a curse. The situation is similar to what happened to you at Luohe University. It's also a dead end. There's only one way to leave here, and that's to drive this bus around this road.
Then we can return to reality and have a four-month 'vacation'. After the four months are up, we will be back here and start a new cycle. "
After hearing this, Xiao Mo's head buzzed, and the calmness he had been trying so hard to maintain suddenly collapsed. He shouted in disbelief:
"You knew all this from the beginning, right? Why didn't you tell me before? Why did you have to wait until I fell into this curse before telling me? You did it on purpose!"
Lao Gao saw that Xiao Mo had misunderstood, and hurriedly explained:
"Things are not what you think. Even if you don't join us and stay with us, you will still be dragged into this curse. I've said this so that perhaps you should have thought that entering here is the fate that every escapee cannot escape."
"Stop lying to me. You were telling me about the pursuers and preventing supernatural events, but now it's suddenly turned into a curse! Do you think I'm a three-year-old kid? Do you feel so accomplished lying to me?!"
Although Xiao Mo said he didn't believe it, he almost accepted it in his heart. In other words, even if he didn't believe it, what could he do? He had already boarded the bus and entered this damn place. The reason why he was so persistent with Lao Gao was that he used Lao Gao as a punching bag. After all, Lao Gao didn't tell him the truth earlier.
Facing Xiao Mo's questioning, Lao Gao sighed several times and ultimately did not refute anything. However, this does not mean that Zhang Tianyi will remain silent.
"Xiao Mo, remember this: everyone has the right to refute Lao Gao and vent their anger at him, but you are the only one who can't!"
"Tianyi! Stop talking!"
Before Xiao Mo could speak, Lao Gao stopped Zhang Tianyi first. Seeing that the two of them were hiding something, Xiao Mo became even more angry. He shouted at Zhang Tianyi:
"Why can't I? If you are a man, tell me clearly what happened between us!"
"Okay! Since you want to know so much, I'll tell you!"
Zhang Tianyi didn't intend to hide it anymore and wanted to tell it immediately, but Lao Gao stopped him and said:
"That's enough, Tianyi. Xiao Mo has lost his memory. Besides, it has already happened. What good will it do if I tell him now?"
"Some people won't stop until they know the truth!"
Zhang Tianyi ignored Lao Gao, and Lao Gao didn't try to stop him this time. He just sat down in his seat with his head down.
Seeing this, Xiao Mo asked Zhang Tianyi again:
"Now you should speak!"
Xiao Mo was a little uneasy. He wanted to know the truth of the matter, but he was afraid to know it, because from Lao Gao's reaction, he could guess that the truth might be very unfavorable to him. But he couldn't care less. This matter had tortured him for many days. Now was the opportunity to know all this, how could he let it go.
In this excited and anxious waiting, Zhang Tianyi slowly spoke:
"The truth may not be what you expected . The reason why we are involved in this curse is because of you, Xiao Mo! After getting the notebook, you firmly believed in it because of several correct verifications. Although I tried to persuade you not to trust it too much, I still didn't give in and followed you into the villa of 'No. 2 Qingming Road'.
After we entered, just as you said, there were no pursuers chasing us for a long time, and then you swore to us that you could completely end the fate of the escapees.
Then, full of confidence, you found the door hidden in a corner of the villa, and once again pushed it open without our permission despite our objections!
It was you who opened the channel that connected here, and changed the fate of all the escapees. All the escapees lost the opportunity to actively stop it. Everyone had to enter here and passively participate in the terrible events. In the end, only a few people survived. "
"Impossible! How could I harm anyone? I would never do such a thing!"
"snort!"
Seeing Xiao Mo still quibbling, Zhang Tianyi sneered, and then continued to insist:
"You used to be a great philanthropist and a good person, and you even claimed that you would save all the escapees. Of course, you didn't do that on purpose, and you certainly wouldn't have the heart to watch them get caught in the curse!
So after escaping from there, you entered the forbidden area alone, saying that since the disaster was caused by you, you wanted to put an end to it all with your own hands. And then..."
"enough!"
Xiao Mo couldn't listen any longer. He sat down, holding his aching head, and his breathing became much heavier.
He really didn't expect that the truth would be like this. No wonder Zhang Tianyi said that he had no right to complain. No wonder Lao Gao always looked at him with complicated eyes. It turned out that all this was caused by him.
If he hadn't been so stubborn, they would have only had to try to prevent a supernatural incident every other day, instead of...
Xiao Mo didn't think further because he knew nothing about anything here. Maybe the situation was not as bad as he imagined.
Just as he was thinking this, there was a loud noise in the car, and then it shook violently. Zhang Tianyi and Lao Gao obviously realized something, and saw Lao Gao get up from his seat, sit in the driver's seat in two or three steps, and then start the car.
At the same time, Xiao Mo's gaze towards the car window was suddenly startled, and he saw countless pale hands stretching down vertically, and most of the car window was shattered in an instant.
"Hurry, drive!!!"
