Sure enough, it was just like the situation in the dream. As soon as I turned around, Zhang Ge, who had been unconscious, had appeared in front of me and grabbed my neck tightly!
Trickles of fresh blood flowed from his eyes, mouth, and nose like earthworms, emotionlessly saying, "It's because of you that I died... I want you to pay with your life..."
Damn! What do I owe you? I've saved you several times already, haven't I?
Cursing loudly, I quickly bit my middle finger, and then aimed at Zhang Ge's acupoint with my finger!
However, before my finger could touch Zhang Ge's body, the bus suddenly accelerated under my feet, heading straight towards the cliff at the roadside!
Crap! Is this the pace of taking me down with it?
"Roar--"
I roared, and the dragon energy in my body instantly became restless, pushing Zhang Ge back two steps. Without much thought, I quickly grabbed Zhang Ge and leaped, both of us jumping off the bus!
After a series of rolls, we both rolled on the road for more than ten meters, barely dispelling the huge inertia, and ended up lying in the middle of the road. Luckily, at this moment, there were no other vehicles passing on the expressway, otherwise, we would probably have died under the wheels even if we hadn’t died on the bus.
Ignoring the pain in my body, I quickly ran to Zhang Ge and dragged him to the side of the road, then finally breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the ground.
At the same time, there was a sudden "rumble" in my ears. The bus had already fallen off the road, crashing down the cliff and breaking into pieces instantly!
Close call! Fortunately, my reaction was fast enough just now. I took decisive action and jumped with Zhang Ge. Otherwise, the two of us might have fallen off the cliff as well.
As a cultivator, especially after the foundation building, my body had been further reinforced. So, the injuries weren't too severe at the moment, just some superficial scratches.
Ignoring the bus that had fallen off the cliff, I quickly checked Zhang Ge's body. Fortunately, because I had pushed him when we landed just now, his injuries were not too severe either. Aside from several superficial scratches, his right hand was only slightly dislocated.
While Zhang Ge was still unconscious, I quickly grabbed his right hand, and with a sudden force, I heard a crack, and his dislocated right hand returned to normal.
"Ah--"
Letting out a miserable cry, Zhang Ge suddenly woke up from the pain!
Seeing his clear eyes and normal pupils, I knew that the ghost attached to him had probably already left a long time ago.
"What...?"
Awakening, Zhang Ge's face was full of fear. It was not until he saw me that he relaxed a little, hastily asking, "What happened? What about the bus?"
"There..."
I subconsciously pointed to the cliff on the opposite side of the road, "It fell down!"
"Ah?"
As soon as he heard this, Zhang Ge was suddenly shocked, staring at me foolishly for a long time, then asked in a dazed manner, "What should we do now?"
"What else can we do?"
I shrugged, then helped Zhang Ge to stand up, saying, "Quick, call Captain Han and ask him to check if there has been any strange accidents in this area recently!"
"And, if possible, ask him to send a car to pick us up. It's in the middle of nowhere... we can't just walk back, can we?"
"Yes! Yes! Yes!"
Like pounding garlic, Zhang Ge nodded repeatedly, quickly took out his phone. Fortunately, his phone was sturdy, and despite the violent roll, it was unscathed...
What a cool knockoff phone!
The call was answered quickly, but because Zhang Ge had just been scared, he was incoherent and lost for words. So I took the phone from him and briefly told Captain Han about our situation. Then, I tactfully asked if it was possible for them to send a vehicle to pick us up.
Captain Han was also shocked after listening, and quickly sent someone to communicate with the traffic police. He himself immediately got in the car and planned to come in person to pick us up.
It would be best if Captain Han could come in person. After hanging up the phone, Zhang Ge and I sat on the side of the road, waiting in frustration.
Encountering such trouble on a trip home, Zhang Ge was furious, and I frowned, carefully took out a talisman from my pocket.
When I jumped off the bus with Zhang Ge, I also tore a talisman from the seat. The runes on it were very strange, nothing like any I had seen before.
Through the sensing of my energy field, I preliminarily judged that this should be a kind of talisman similar to the "Illusion-Birth Talisman". No wonder it had eluded my perception just now. If it weren't for these talismans, I probably would have quickly realized that something was wrong the moment I got on the bus. Then, it wouldn't have come to the current miserable situation.
Looking at the talisman in my hand, I couldn't help but wonder, what was the background of this Sima Yinyin? I don’t have any grudges with him. Why does he always go against me? I don't think this is just targeting Zhang Ge...
"A car is coming!"
Just as I was deep in thought, Zhang Ge suddenly shouted with surprise, quickly got up from the ground.
Following his gaze, sure enough, another bus was coming not far away.
However, it didn't matter much. This was the expressway, not like other roads. Even if a car passed by, they would never stop.
As I expected, although Zhang Ge kept waving to the driver, the driver simply ignored it, and didn't even slow down, speeding past us.
However, as the bus drove past me, my face suddenly changed, and I was startled!
Grass! It's him again!
Even though it was just a quick glance, I was absolutely certain that the person sitting in the passenger seat was none other than Sima Yin, whom I had seen in the hospital that day!
The nerve of him! Does he want to cause another car accident?
No, strictly speaking, he didn't actually cause the death of anyone in that bus just now, because besides Zhang and me, there weren't any living passengers in the bus. Those passengers we saw were actually just spirits...
Of course, it's also not ruled out that those spirits were actually killed by him when they were alive!
"Damn it!"
Zhang didn't notice anything amiss, and as he watched the bus drive away, he began to curse loudly by the side of the road.
“AU4405……”
“AU4405……”
A person with two legs can't outrun a four-wheel car, so I didn't even attempt to chase after the bus. Instead, I silently memorized the license plate number and the destination of the bus. Similar to the earlier one, this bus was also heading to Dafang County!
What's this guy up to? Is he deliberately provoking us?
No!
I can't let him get away like this. I need to find a way to delay him for a while!
With this in mind, I quickly called Captain Han again, asking him if he could contact the toll station ahead and get them to stop the passing vehicles, so that we could gain more time. Otherwise, by the time Captain Han arrived, that guy would probably have disappeared!
Before I could finish speaking, Captain Han almost immediately assured me that as long the person didn't get off midway, he could definitely delay him.
Not wanting to take any chances, I specifically reminded Captain Han to instruct the toll station staff not to alert the enemy, and just delay the time. Otherwise, if that guy went on a rampage, who knows how many people would end up getting hurt!
"Don't worry, I've already contacted the traffic police department in Dafang, and told them to carry out surprise checks for drunk driving before the New Year. We'll delay him for as long as possible!"
It seemed that I was overthinking things. After all, Captain Han was a seasoned expert, and being the most senior detective in Baoshan Police Station, he had already considered everything I could think of.
