Death Bus

"All right, then come ride the bus with me first. We'll stop by the dessert shop along the way and shop to our hearts' content."

Lin Luo could only agree to Ghost Loli's suggestion, while secretly putting himself on guard.

As everyone knew, the Horror Game's Death Bus was an instance with an extremely high mortality rate.

One careless move, and even with his newly developed ghost power, Lin Luo could still meet his end.

Seeing how cooperative Lin Luo was, Ghost Loli grinned and nodded, then pulled him out of Yellow Springs Hospital.

As soon as they stepped outside, Lin Luo sensed several sinister, terrifying presences probing toward him.

It was obvious.

The ghosts had set their sights on Lin Luo.

Fortunately, Ghost Loli, who had come out with him, was strong enough. Terrifying ghost power surged from her.

Her terrifying ghost power dispersed even the thick fog that had obscured their vision.

The surroundings were revealed.

It was an abandoned street.

Garbage littered the street, giving off a foul stench.

More horrifying still, many of the garbage bags had split open, revealing half-eaten human organs and bones.

Lin Luo's expression visibly darkened at the sight.

Even with his strong willpower, the gruesome scene still made him feel sick.

Just then, a starving ghost rummaging through the garbage for human flesh spotted Lin Luo, and its eyes lit up.

"It's my lucky day! Fresh human flesh! Now I can have a proper feast."

Thick saliva dribbled from the starving ghost's mouth as it spoke.

The revolting sight turned Lin Luo's gaze ice-cold.

He was no longer the novice player who had just arrived in the Horror World. He had developed ghost power.

Even though he had yet to become a Ghost Tamer, dealing with a starving ghost with weak ghost power was no great challenge.

"Filthy bug, I'll bite straight through your throat. I won't make your death too painful."

The starving ghost flashed a vicious grin.

The next second, it lunged at Lin Luo.

But before it could reach him, Ghost Loli stepped forward, an eerie light shining from her red ghost eyes.

The eerie light struck the starving ghost.

Before the starving ghost could even scream, its soul was utterly annihilated!

The wandering ghosts secretly watching Lin Luo were terrified. This Ghost Loli was far too powerful.

"He's my attendant. If anyone dares touch a hair on his head, just wait for the Mount Li Ghost King to punish you!"

Ghost Loli's shout was utterly domineering.

Those words frightened even the ferocious ghosts that had still refused to give up on Lin Luo.

No wonder Ghost Loli was so terrifying.

She was a Ghost King's descendant!

Cowed by Ghost Loli, none of the ghosts dared linger. They scattered.

In the blink of an eye, only an empty street remained.

"Keep up. The Death Bus will be here soon."

Ghost Loli called out to Lin Luo.

Then Lin Luo followed Ghost Loli to a dilapidated bus stop sign to wait.

A few minutes later.

The Death Bus slowly pulled up.

Lin Luo and Ghost Loli boarded together.

At the sight of Lin Luo, surprise flickered in the ghost driver's dead-fish eyes.

It was the first time he had encountered a human boarding midway along the route.

The ghost driver had a feeling that this human was different from the other bugs.

Lin Luo had no shortage of ghost coins and paid more than the required fare.

That made the ghost driver all the more certain that Lin Luo was no ordinary passenger.

"Come on. There are seats in the back."

Ghost Loli took Lin Luo's hand and strode over without a care.

Lin Luo let Ghost Loli lead him without saying a word, quietly observing his surroundings.

Aboard the Death Bus.

Aside from a ghost sitting in the back.

There were also four players, two men and two women.

All four were Lin Luo's classmates.

One of the girls had already died.

A ghost had torn her in half with its teeth.

Blood had sprayed all over the floor.

At the sight of Lin Luo, the three players barely clinging to life froze.

They simply could not understand how Lin Luo had managed to board midway.

"Filthy bug, that seat isn't for you."

As Lin Luo was about to sit down, one of the ghosts, its face thick with fleshy folds, roared at him.

He was the Stuffed-to-Death Ghost, and he was not particularly strong.

But he could still crush a novice player to death with one hand.

"Lin Luo, apologize now, or you'll die!"

One of the girls, who wore her hair in a ponytail, shouted anxiously.

She was their class's study representative, Lin Xiaojing.

Her pretty face made her popular with the boys in class.

"Xiaojing, leave him alone. Don't let him drag you down with him."

Lin Xiaojing's words displeased another boy, who wore an ear stud.

He was Wang Hao, one of Lin Xiaojing's suitors and the class troublemaker.

He had always looked down on Lin Luo, who kept a low profile.

"Hao's right, Xiaojing. You're too kind. There's no need to get yourself hurt for a loser like him."

The third player was Wang Hao's lackey, Liao Qi.

Liao Qi was short and wore glasses, earning him the nickname Four-Eyed Frog.

With just a few remarks, the two made Lin Luo sound utterly worthless.

A red gleam flashed in Ghost Loli's ghost eyes.

These two noisy bugs must have a death wish!

"Just leave little things like this to me."

Lin Luo did not want to trouble Ghost Loli with everything.

Hearing that, Ghost Loli nodded and suppressed her killing intent.

Lin Luo had managed to kill even the Hanged Ghost.

A Stuffed-to-Death Ghost and two bugs who looked down their noses at everyone.

They were not even worthy of being Lin Luo's opponents.

"Then I'll stay out of it. Let's see what you can do."

Ghost Loli spoke with a grin.

Her words immediately put the wary Stuffed-to-Death Ghost at ease, and a vicious smile spread across his face.

As far as he was concerned, as long as Ghost Loli did not help, this bug was nothing to fear!

"Bug, I don't like that look in your eyes. Gouge them out, and I'll spare your worthless life!"

The Stuffed-to-Death Ghost spoke mockingly.

Faced with that provocation, Lin Luo stepped forward without another word.

The Stuffed-to-Death Ghost's ghost power was clearly weaker than Lin Luo's.

And Lin Luo was skilled in footwork, too.

Before the Stuffed-to-Death Ghost could react, Lin Luo had plunged his fingers into his eye sockets and gouged out his ghost eyes.

That ruthless act, carried out without any bluster.

Even the ghosts sitting in their seats were frightened.

They had never encountered such a vicious human before.

As for the Stuffed-to-Death Ghost, whose ghost eyes had been gouged out, he let out an agonized scream.

"Bug, I'll tear you limb from limb!"

Blinded, the Stuffed-to-Death Ghost went berserk like a wild beast, trying to find Lin Luo.

But his reckless movements left him wide open.

He could not touch Lin Luo at all, and instead burned through a great deal of his own ghost power.

Taking advantage of the Stuffed-to-Death Ghost's weakened state, Lin Luo drove a fierce punch into his chest.

Under the ravaging force of the ghost power, the Stuffed-to-Death Ghost exploded.

Chunks of flesh splattered all over the floor.

Wang Hao and Four-Eyed Frog, who had been insulting Lin Luo moments earlier, were so frightened that they collapsed to the floor.

Four-Eyed Frog, the most cowardly and useless of them, had even wet his pants.

Pungent yellow liquid pooled across the floor.
