Petty

Looking at the bus that had stopped and turned off, Xu Feng's expression was not good, because turning off the engine meant that he had to leave the temporarily safe bus and run outside.

If you insist on staying on the bus, you will surely die, even if you are Ghost Tamer; there is no reason why you should stay.

He had witnessed such a scene before. On that occasion, almost half of the people in the train car died, including a Ghost Tamer was more capable than him. However, he knew nothing about it that time and survived in a daze, only to realize how terrifying it was.

"There are three ghosts outside. I don't know if they've left. If they have, then everything will be fine. If they're still lingering nearby, we can only continue to stall for time and wait for the bus to start moving again. Hopefully, the situation won't worsen." Xu Feng glanced to the side.

They didn't stray too far from the stalled bus, while remaining vigilant for anything unusual around them.

"Putting aside the dangers outside, I overheard your conversation just now. That newcomer is also Ghost Tamer; he tracked your signal and should be considered helping you. Is it really okay for you to betray him without a word?"

The man in the baseball cap next to him suddenly chuckled mockingly, as he was also keeping an eye on his surroundings.

Xu Feng's expression remained calm. "What does his death have to do with me if he didn't know some of the rules of the bus? Without my reminder, he would have died at the first stop. Strictly speaking, I helped him. What could I do if the bus suddenly stalled? Nobody wants to encounter this situation. It's already dangerous enough with three ghosts lingering outside, and with the newcomer being prone to having his vengeful spirit revive after death, our chances of survival outside will be reduced to the lowest possible level."

"So strictly speaking, this saved us."

The man in the baseball cap said, "Maybe someone else is a master. If you lend them a hand, they might cooperate with you to fight off any ghosts that might appear at any time. This would greatly increase our survival rate. You also mentioned before that it's good to have more people occupying seats on the bus. After all, it's not easy to have multiple Ghost Tamer on the bus. We've only managed to get one after waiting for so many days."

"It's precisely because it's so hard to get a seat that there's not much hope. We don't know when his seat will be useful again. If nothing goes wrong, I can help him out, but if something does, I won't be able to. So let's focus on the present first. There's no point in talking about anything else if we can't survive the present."

Xu Feng said.

"As for the expert you mentioned, that's even more impossible. I've looked at the files of the Ghost Tamer Headquarters. The last update was fifteen days ago. I remember all the top Ghost Tamer are well-known. He's just a complete newbie. Expecting him to be of any great use? Here, the only truly capable people are you and me. If we hadn't been stuck on this bus, we would definitely be the top beings in the Ghost Tamer circle right now."

His words exuded a strong sense of confidence.

"What's there to be so confident about in someone who's an oddity created by accident?" the man in the baseball cap said.

There was nothing to hide in their conversation.

Perhaps they've gotten used to this kind of communication. After all, they spend all day on the eerie bus. Once the people on the bus die, only ghosts remain. It doesn't matter what secrets they reveal. Even if someone overhears, ordinary people can't easily leave the bus; they'll soon become dead themselves.

The dead cannot remember secrets.

However, Xu Feng overlooked Yang Jian's presence.

He didn't see Yang Jian get off the bus and assumed he had died on the bus, since that was how it always was, without exception.

However, Yang Jian used his Ghost Domain to escape just before the car lights went out.

Not only did he leave, he also casually helped Zhang Hao and the other two ordinary people.

Yang Jian was standing right next to the road, only about ten meters away from Xu Feng and the man in the baseball cap, but he was not discovered because he was in the Ghost Domain.

These two people seem to have no resistance to the Ghost Domain ability.

"This weird bus can even stall? Anyone left on the bus after it stalls will die. Xu Feng needs someone to reserve a seat on the bus, and not just anyone, but Ghost Tamer. He deliberately got off at the very back just to keep me in check, leaving me, who was closest to the door, inside the bus so I could die there."

Yang Jian's eyes flickered slightly; he had heard the whole story.

However, he wasn't angry about Xu Feng's selfish behavior.

It's not surprising that Ghost Tamer would do such a thing in order to survive, because if it were him, he wouldn't save Xu Feng if he were in trouble. The only difference is that he wouldn't deliberately harm others.

Of course, not being angry doesn't mean he has no issues with Xu Feng.

Whether he deliberately reminded me not to get off the bus or intentionally left me inside, it was all with a strong purpose, using his informational advantage to manipulate me, a newcomer who had just boarded the bus.

"Isn't it inappropriate for you to talk about me in front of me?"

Yang Jian suddenly appeared at this moment, his figure materializing out of thin air on the road, looking at them with indifferent eyes.

Um?

Upon hearing his voice, Xu Feng trembled violently, then looked at Yang Jian with utter shock. "Weren't you in the car? How could you be here?"

Based on the time frame just now, he deduced that Yang Jian had no chance of getting out of the carriage.

Even if you move quickly, you'll still get locked up inside.

"I'm quite nimble on my feet and got off the bus quickly, so I left," Yang Jian said. "I'm sorry to disappoint you; I'm afraid this newcomer will cause you trouble."

"That's interesting."

The man in the baseball cap next to him paused for a moment, then laughed and said, "The person I thought was dead got off the train alive. I was watching you the whole time; you disappeared as soon as the carriage went dark. I thought you were dead, but I didn't expect you to escape."

After all, he was Ghost Tamer and had seen many strange and unusual things, so he quickly stopped finding them strange.

Those who can control vengeful spirits cannot be judged by ordinary standards.

"I thought you were a ghost sitting in the back, but it turns out you're a person. When did you get off the bus?" Yang Jian.

"There's a window in the last row; people jump out of the window to escape," the man in the baseball cap shrugged, sounding nonchalant.

Yang Jian, "The car window won't open; I've tried."

"Normally, the doors can't be opened, but they can be opened after the engine is turned off. The same goes for the doors; they won't open while the car is in motion, but the restriction is lifted after the engine is turned off. This is an unexpected situation on a ghost car, and the chances of it happening are very small. Once it happens, both the people inside the car and the ghosts must get out, otherwise it will be extremely dangerous, even more dangerous than facing a vengeful ghost. For people like us, it's a certain death sentence, with no chance of survival. Fortunately, we weren't too unlucky this time; only three ghosts got on the car, and they haven't appeared yet, so they've probably left."

"That's what the man in the baseball cap said."

"Since you're not dead, let's cooperate and survive together. As long as you can leave Ghost Cart with us later, you'll reap unexpected rewards." Xu Feng immediately changed his tune, seeking cooperation.

Yang Jian looked at him and said, "I refuse to cooperate with you."

"Why? Is it because of what happened earlier? There's no need to. In the adult world, there's no right or wrong, only advantages and disadvantages. You would have done the same thing if you were in that situation. It's all about survival."

He spoke with righteous indignation, showing no remorse whatsoever for what he had just done.

"That makes sense, but everyone has their temper. You don't have to tell me all the information, but you can't deliberately set me up. After all, I'm a bit petty," Yang Jian said.

Xu Feng said, "Whatever. Since that's the case, then let's fight it out one-on-one. I won't come to your rescue. Good luck."

Since Yang Jian refused, he wouldn't force the issue. After all, even if he cooperated with a newcomer, he wouldn't be of much help. Seeking cooperation would only mean having more helper than more enemy.

"Before I leave this ghost train, I will attack you once at some point. If you can withstand it, all past mistakes will be forgiven; if not, then goodbye."

Yang Jian held up one finger and said very seriously, "I'm just reminding you to be on guard. This is my way of repaying you for reminding me earlier."

"Are you saying this to make me deal with you here first?" Xu Feng's face suddenly turned cold, and he said with a hint of threat.

Yang Jian chuckled lightly, "It's true I'm a newbie, but do you think a newbie has to be a noob?"

"Another arrogant young man, he thinks he's all that now that he's got some skills," Xu Feng sneered.

"Then try taking care of me first," Yang Jian said calmly.

Just as the two were locked in a tense standoff, a faint weeping sound suddenly drifted from the dimly lit roadside forest.

A strange chill crept into everyone's hearts.

The weeping ghost hasn't left.
