Chapter 210 Guarding The Door
"Ghost! She is a ghost!" The young man charged towards the bus door and prepared to press the emergency button to open the door.
But before he could reach the door, he was pulled back by someone.
It was Uncle Wang. Uncle Wang had rushed over and intercepted him.
"Calm down!" Uncle Wang shouted at him and pointed at the woman.
"Look at her. How is she a ghost?! You must have been bewitched as well! This is the conspiracy of the ghosts! If you open the door, everyone will be doomed!"
Uncle Wang's voice was very loud, making the flustered young man quickly regain his senses.
He then turned to look at the woman and saw that she was hiding in her seat with a horrified expression. Where was the ghostly look from before?
"Huff… Uncle Wang, I was fooled. I'll be more careful."
Seeing this, how could the young man not know what had happened? Such hallucinations were the specialty of ghosts. However, these kinds of tricks were too realistic. Even someone like him, who had seen ghosts before, fell for it.
Or rather, it was because he had seen ghosts before and knew that ghosts were too powerful to be resisted, that he valued his life more. It was difficult for him to calm down when he encountered this situation.
"Okay, don't panic. Since the ghosts are causing hallucinations, it means that they are unable to hurt us here. We're safe."
Uncle Wang nodded at the young man and stood before the door of the bus to prevent anyone from being tempted to open the door.
The atmosphere calmed down. All the passengers were sitting quietly, as if nothing had happened.
But two minutes later, the situation in the bus changed. Many people seemed to suffer hallucinations and became agitated.
A middle-aged man left his seat and charged towards the door.
"My wife and child are outside! They're going to be surrounded by evil entities! Let me bring them inside!" He said to Uncle Wang hurriedly and reached out to press the emergency button.
However, Uncle Wang pressed down on the middle-aged man's shoulders and shook it as he shouted at him,
"It's an illusion! It's all an illusion! Your wife and child can't be here! Wake up!"
However, what he did not know was that in the eyes of this middle-aged man, his expression looked cold. His words had also changed to "You should just leave your wife and child outside to be sacrificed! You should think for everyone's sake!"
The middle-aged man immediately exploded. He immediately pushed Uncle Wang away and pressed the emergency button.
Fortunately, Uncle Wang's reaction was fast. Since he was pushed away and did not have the time to pull the person back, he kicked the middle-aged man's knee, knocking him to the ground before he touched the button.
"What right do you have to sacrifice my wife and child! You despicable person!"
The middle-aged man was even more angry after being kicked down. He started a fight with Uncle Wang.
Uncle Wang was already injured, so he was immediately at a disadvantage. He could only quickly call for help.
"Don't watch! Come and help!"
He blocked this middle-aged man with all his might and shouted at the people in the bus while carrying his beating.
But the corners of his eyes saw that the people in the bus were all standing in their seats, looking at him with mocking expressions, their eyes filled with mockery. How could they have the slightest intention of helping?
The unified expression of these people and the evil in their eyes made Uncle Wang's heart tremble. They were all ghosts?! This bus was filled with evil entities?!
"No! This is impossible! It must be an illusion!"
After the momentary fear, Uncle Wang stabilized his mind and continued to block the person while shouting for help, not caring about the strange scene he saw.
In fact, Uncle Wang had guessed correctly. The strange scene he had seen earlier was indeed an illusion. In fact, few people were standing in the bus. All of them were in different states. Some were looking out the window in horror, while others were constantly scanning the interior of the bus. Some even had their eyes closed and kept muttering something like scriptures.
However, there was one thing in common. They could not see Uncle Wang and the middle-aged man fighting. In their eyes, Uncle Wang was chatting enthusiastically with the middle-aged man.
"Brother He, don't just stand there. Hurry up and stop the fight!"
Zhou Chen was originally observing the situation outside the window, but when he heard Uncle Wang's shout, he turned around and saw that no one was paying attention to him. He frowned and asked He Jin to help Uncle Wang.
However, He Jin found his words strange. He looked around the bus and then at Zhou Chen, "Brother Zhou, what fight should I stop? Although it is a little chaotic here, no one is fighting."
When he said this, Zhou Chen, who had already turned his head to look out of the bus window, immediately felt the strangeness. He instantly determined that these people were hallucinating, and as a person with a high Spirit stat and Tenacity passive skill, he was immune to this effect.
"Alright, you're all bewitched. Just remain in your seat. I'll deal with this."
Zhou Chen looked at the bus door and saw Uncle Wang was already unable to hold the middle-aged man back. He directly jumped out of his seat and rushed to the bus door and casually punched the middle-aged man who was trying to open the door.
"Finally! Someone is finally here to help!"
After receiving Zhou Chen's support, Uncle Wang sat on the ground. He was already injured and had exhausted too much energy in the battle just now, so he could no longer stand.
"Go back to your seat. I'll guard this place."
When Zhou Chen saw him like this, he immediately told him to go back.
This was because when those black shadows appeared closer, he could sense that they could not be underestimated. Letting them in the bus would be a huge disaster. Even he could not say that he could fight them all. Therefore, this door was very important. It had to remain closed.
This was actually his negligence. If not for Uncle Wang standing there and not letting anyone open the bus door, he would have probably fallen into a bitter battle, and the others here might have been wiped out in the blink of an eye.
"Alright, I'll leave this task to you young people." Uncle Wang immediately agreed. He slowly stood up and moved back to his seat.
He had interacted with Zhou Chen before and knew that he was a newcomer in the apartment. Moreover, this newbie was very special. Yesterday, he had saved him and a female resident and killed four muscular men.
Although his methods were very cruel, Uncle Wang was happy to see that. In the apartment, any unstable factors should be dealt with using the most direct methods. Being wishy-washy might cause endless trouble.
As for why Zhou Chen was so powerful, he did not care at all. Everyone had their secrets. Was it difficult to accept some extraordinary people appearing in this world of ghosts and monsters? As long as he did not cause havoc, the stronger he was, the better.
Soon, Uncle Wang returned to his seat. Zhou Chen faced the door and observed the outside through the small glass window in the middle.
As for the middle-aged man who was knocked out by him not far away, no one cared. It was better if this person was unconscious. At least, he would not have to worry about him causing trouble again.
"Big brother! Open the door! Those monsters are coming! I don't want to be eaten by them!" At this moment, outside the small glass window, Zhou Chen saw a pitiful girl following the bus and begging him. She looked very pitiful.
Zhou Chen was instantly speechless.
"Let's not talk about how ridiculous it is for a girl to suddenly appear in this wilderness. How can I believe that you're a human if you are able to keep up with this bus?"
However, the little girl kept on running along the bus and begged pitifully as if she was really a little girl who was locked outside and urgently needed help.
Zhou Chen was annoyed. He hated being fooled the most. Therefore, he approached the window and said, "Scram! Stop pretending! If you continue pretending, I'll kill you!"
The little girl outside the window was stunned. She did not expect Zhou Chen to have such a reaction.
But soon, an idea flashed in her mind. She approached the bus door and provoked Zhou Chen, "Then try it! Come out and fight me, weak chicken!"
The little girl's appearance had not changed, but her expression changed greatly. She no longer looked pitiful; instead, she had a sinister smile on her face.
"Hehe, you want to provoke me into opening the door?"
Zhou Chen couldn't help but sneer as he looked at the strange girl outside the bus door.
If it were before, his only choice would have been to open the bus door or break it open to teach this evil entity a lesson. But now, he had two choices that didn't require opening the door.
One was to mirror jump, and the other was to send Little Red.
After some thought, Zhou Chen instructed Little Red through the spiritual connection, "Hide in the bus door. Knock out whoever tries to leave."
Then, Zhou Chen prepared to deal with the evil entity outside.
However, through his Bloodthirst perception, he sensed that someone seemed to want to open the window inside the bus. He instantly turned around and saw a young man leaning against the window in the bus. He was enchanted by an evil entity in the form of a graceful beauty outside the window. He raised his hand to open the window to let the beauty in.
However, this person had not completely fallen. It was obvious that he had some misgivings and was struggling. He had yet to really open the window.
As for the other passengers beside him, they did not notice his state at all. They seemed to be deceived by the power of the evil entities and did not notice the danger beside them.
"Little Red, knock out that person first! Do the same to others if they look like they are going to open the windows!"
As soon as Zhou Chen gave Little Red the order, a red light suddenly shot out of his left ring. It instantly arrived beside the young man who was bewitched by the beauty and knocked him unconscious.
A trace of surprise appeared on the face of the beautiful ghost outside the window when it saw Little Red. Then, the surprise quickly turned to resentment, as if it wanted to use its eyes to kill Little Red, who had stolen its prey.
However, Little Red ignored it. It only followed Zhou Chen's instructions and returned to the hide in the bus door. At the same time, it was observing the situation inside the bus.
Throughout the entire process, none of the passengers on the bus noticed its existence because it was too fast. Even those who happened to be observing this side could only see a red light flash by, thinking that their eyes were playing tricks on them.
At this moment, apart from Little Red, there was no one else at the bus door. After instructing Little Red, Zhou Chen had teleported to the outside of the bus through the mirrors to fight the strange girl.
He was not doing this out of anger. Instead, he had long since thought about going outside to test these monsters, and had made up his mind just earlier.
Once he was outside the bus, Zhou Chen punched the ghost girl who had mocked him earlier, directly aiming for its head.
Faced with his sudden appearance, a mocking expression quickly appeared on the strange girl's face after an instance of surprise. She did not dodge and directly used her head to receive Zhou Chen's fist.
Zhou Chen saw that his fist passed through the girl's head.
"This is an evil spirit?" Zhou Chen was surprised.
He had thought that this strange girl was a corporeal evil entity because it could not enter the bus. If it was an evil spirit, it should have been able to enter as it pleased.
From the looks of it, he had underestimated the bus that was referred to as the eerie bus by the apartment. This eerie bus should have a very strong resistance to evil entities. It could even prevent evil spirits from entering, and it could also let Zhou Chen, who had abilities similar to that of evil spirits, out.
Zhou Chen could accept this fact. The passengers the eerie bus carried were basically ordinary people. If it was unable to stop the evil spirits from phasing through its structure, everyone in the bus would be wiped out. There was no chance of survival.
Zhou Chen's punch passed through the strange girl's head, but that did not mean that it did not cause any damage. Zhou Chen had the Touch of Evil passive skill. This contact immediately caused the strange girl to suffer a high amount of spirit damage, making her let out a painful groan and flash to the side.
"Hehe, you know how to dodge now?" Zhou Chen had already expected this monster's reaction. His figure flashed and instantly followed, punching the monster's head again, triggering the spirit damage of the Touch of Evil again.
However, this time, the strange girl did not act arrogantly. Her small hands instantly turned into scarlet sharp claws that grabbed at Zhou Chen's heart.
Zhou Chen immediately dodged to the side. However, because the girl's attack was too fast, he was still hit, leaving three bleeding wounds on his ribs.
"This evil entity's attack power is comparable to the red-dressed female ghost from before. It might take some effort to kill it."
Although he was injured, Zhou Chen did not panic. His body's recovery speed was very high. The injuries would even stack Berserk and double his recovery speed.
What he was worried about was that there were more than one evil entity nearby.. They were swarming towards him, making him feel very pressured.
