While Wang Zhifan and the others were discussing in low voices, Route 444 Bus gradually accelerated and drove through this deserted city.
Wang Zhifan has been paying attention to the streets and direction changes outside during this period, and silently memorizing them in his heart. This is actually a habit of his taking transportation. He likes to try to remember the routes he passes when going to strange places. He often does this in the real world, let alone in this kind of task.
After about half an hour like this, Route 444 Bus came to an intersection with a rusty stop sign and slowly stopped.
"Hell Academy is here. Passengers who need to get on and off, please get on and off in an orderly manner. The next stop is: Soul-Return Road."
As the pleasant female voice in the bus announced and the door slowly opened, Wang Zhifan and others quickly looked out through the window and saw three people wearing hooded black robes walking quickly from a nearby alley and heading towards the bus they were on.
Because the black hoods on their heads and the black robes on their bodies were very wide, these three people almost completely obscured their figure and appearance, making it difficult to tell their age or even gender. They could only judge from their height that they should all be adults.
"They should be people from the Hell Academy. I heard from the old man that Hell Academy is also a existence similar to Apartment 444 in this world, and their students are very different from our residents. Many of them have undergone special modifications. The mission survival rate is much higher than that of the apartment and the Thirteenth Hospital..."
The young man in school uniform who had collected the most complete intelligence looked at the three approaching men in black robes outside the window and analyzed.
"What special transformation?"
The petite Assassin girl next to him then asked him curiously.
"I heard from the old man that it is Ghostification Transformation, which means that part of his body becomes like a ghost. The process is said to be quite dangerous."
The young man in school uniform explained immediately.
"Transform yourself into a ghost? These people are too crazy..."
Assassin The girl was a little stunned after hearing this.
"Stop talking, these people are getting on the bus. The old man said that they generally have bad tempers. We'd better be careful and don't cause trouble."
As soon as the young man in school uniform finished speaking, the three hooded men in black robes boarded the bus from the street platform, and then looked for their seats together.
In the process, they passed near the location of the seven apartment residents. Then, for some unknown reason, a female apartment resident suddenly screamed and began to run away towards the car door.
"Ah!!! Ghost! Ghost is getting on the bus!"
The man was shouting and rushing towards the car door that was almost completely closed, obviously trying to escape.
Wang Zhifan had already arrived near the car door at this moment. He originally thought that after the experience at the last station, these residents would not cause any more troubles, but now the situation seemed a bit not optimistic, because he saw that the female resident had been blocked by the closed car door, and the three hooded men in black robes behind stopped and turned to look at her. A kind of substantial malice suddenly filled the car.
When the three hooded men in black robes turned around, Wang Zhifan also caught a glimpse of their faces hidden under the black robes. It was indeed a terrifying appearance.
The black and semi-rotted face, the scarlet eyes like abyss, and the red and white gums exposed to the air due to rotten lips, have almost no resemblance to normal humans. He doesn't even need to put on makeup to play evil spirits, but Wang Zhifan's powerful perception tells him that these people are still human beings, but their bodies are contaminated with some bad smells.
"I'm sorry to everyone in the college. Our companion is mentally disturbed and loves to talk nonsense. Please don't take it seriously. I apologize to you on behalf of the apartment."
Wang Zhifan, who did not want a fight to break out in the car and cause unnecessary accidents, covered the mouth of the female resident who wanted to open the door to escape and pulled her to the rear of the car. At the same time, she nodded and smiled at the three hooded men in black robes who turned to look over.
In fact, he was fully confident that he could deal with the three men in black robes in front of him, or completely ignore the life and death of the female residents. However, considering that he needed to save at least one resident in the subsequent tasks, he decided to take action once, lest the situation develop out of control. At the same time, he also let the apartment residents know that he was not completely cold-blooded. He still had the courage and responsibility to stand on the side of the apartment. This impression would be beneficial to his leadership and protection work in subsequent tasks.
As soon as Wang Zhifan finished speaking, he covered the mouth of the female resident and quickly dragged her to a seat at the rear of the bus and sat down on it, making her regain her composure and stop making any strange noises. The three hooded men in black robes from the Hell Academy looked at him for two seconds, then turned around silently and continued to find a seat to sit in.
No one knows why these rumored bad-tempered Hell Academy people chose to calm down their anger. Maybe they really felt the apology expressed by Wang Zhifan. Maybe they were about to participate in a very difficult task and were unwilling to waste their precious energy here.
In this way, the rest of the journey was basically calm, and there were no more unexpected situations.
Wang Zhifan and other apartment residents have been sitting peacefully on Bus 444, watching it carry them past one stop after another. On the way, the young man in white coat from Thirteenth Hospital and three hooded men in black robes from the Hell Academy got off the bus one after another. They, a total of eleven apartment residents, watched the bus open and close at subsequent stops without adding or removing any passengers.
It was not until noon that day that they left the previously abandoned urban area and followed a bumpy cement road to a hilly land scattered with yellow weeds. In front of a nearly 1,000-meter-high mountain standing very abruptly in the hills, at the intersection at the foot of the mountain, Route 444 Bus finally stopped the wheel and announced the name they had been waiting for:
"Deathwind Mountain is here. Passengers who need to get on and off, please get on and off in an orderly manner. The next stop is: Rotten Bone Lake."
"Everyone get out of the car, get out of the car! It's time to climb the mountain! Everyone act together! Don't run around!"
It took several hours to finally arrive at the destination, and four players including Wang Zhifan began to get busy. The four of them, with Wang Zhifan and the petite girl Assassin in front, the young mage and the middle-aged gunman in the back, surrounded the seven apartment residents in the middle, and then the eleven people climbed together along the rocky steps in front of them.
According to Blood-Word Mission, they need to climb to the top of the mountain before 6 p. m., and then watch the sunset for an hour before leaving and returning to the apartment. Based on the remaining time and the height of the mountain in front of them and the conditions of the mountain trail, this requirement seems not difficult to accomplish.
But after a while, several people caught a glimpse of several strange figures above the mountain road.
