Chapter 56: 56. Ghost on the Mountain Road 1

Translator: 549690339

8 0’clock in the morning the next day.

On a small hill on the west side of East Sea City, a deep brown bus was traveling along the mountain road.

The bus was occupied by more than twenty passengers, but it was very quiet.

The passengers were either asleep or playing with their phones. Only the bus television located at the front was playing a film, emitting a faint sound.

It was a seemingly ordinary scene.

But if anyone were close to the driver’s seat, they could see the bus driver’s continuously changing and slightly distorted face through the reflection on the windows.

His expressions changed quickly, alternatively laughing, angry, depressed, and calm… it looked quite eerie.

After a while, he tremblingly took out a cigarette from his shirt pocket, and without lighting it, placed it directly in his mouth.

The cigarette quivered in sync with his changing expressions.

The steward, Little Li, who was seated behind the driver, admonished him:

“Mr. Zhang, you know the rules, no smoking in the bus.”

“I know.” driver Mr. Zhang replied in a shaky, stuttering voice: “I… I just…

needed something for my nicotine craving.”

“Mr. Zhang, you don’t seem well today. Are you sick?” sensing that something was amiss, Little Li stood up intending to check on Mr. Zhang.

But just as he straightened up, he clearly saw Mr. Zhang’s “furious” face reflected in the window.

“Mr. Zhang… you!” Little Li was stunned.

But it was too late, driver Mr. Zhang abruptly jerked the steering wheel, causing the bus to make a near 120-degree turn, furiously heading towards the guardrail on the right side of the road!

The iron guardrail on the right side of the road was less than half a meter high, beyond which there was a deep cliff of several tens of meters. And the bus was currently speeding.

If the bus were to crash through the guardrail at high speed and tumble down the cliff due to inertia, none of the passengers would survive!

Steward Little Li was petrified.

What is Mr. Zhang doing? Does he want to drag everyone on the bus with him to death? Has he lost his mind?

Moreover, due to the sudden turn, the bus lurched violently.

Many of the passengers, looking towards the front in terror, were at a loss for what to do.

No passenger was mentally prepared for the impending calamity.

But at this critical moment, a robust figure shot out from the middle of the bus like an arrow.

In a mere instant, he was by the side of the driver’s seat, pulling the steering wheel in the opposite direction.

Screech—

The tires skidded on the surface of the road, producing a strident screeching sound.

The bus carved a massive “S” trajectory on the winding mountain road.

Additionally, the bus engine was penetrated by a lightning bolt from nowhere, causing the bus to halt as it crashed against the guardrails.

All the people on the bus were spared.

Mr. Zhang’s plan had failed.

He jerked the steering wheel hard and stomped on the accelerator, wanting to ram the bus into the cliff again.

But to his surprise, he found that despite his full strength, the steering wheel did not budge, and the accelerator had no response.

Could it be that the strength of his two hands was less than the strength of this young man’s single hand?

“Who are you?”

A vengeful countenance on his face, a massive amount of black mist emitting from his eyes, ears, and nose, Mr. Zhang demanded, “Don’t you know you can get arrested for obstructing the driver?”

But when he looked at the young man, he found that he was wearing a mask of Ultraman Tiga, making it impossible to see his real face.

This young man was, of course, Su Yu.

Through last night’s news, he remembered a gruesome incident from his previous life.

The incident had caused the deaths of more than 400 people and was considered one of the most significant ghost-related cases in the early days.

And the entire incident originated today.

Hence, Su Yu traced the source and found the starting point of the incident, this very bus, and timely prevented the tragedy of the bus plunging into the cliff.

As for the Ultraman Tiga mask, he swiped it from the shelf of the supermarket downstairs, causing the supermarket owner to replace a set of CCTV cameras.

Looking at Mr. Zhang, who was possessed by a ghost, there was a faint smile

on Su Yu’s face behind the mask: “Hello, driver, I am Ultraman Tiga.”

Su Yu used his free right hand to gesture a salute: “Mercy to all living beings!

For I see mischief in your heart, today I, Ultraman Tiga on behalf of the Buddha, am here to help you transcend!”

Saying this, Su Yu’s hand was filled with a large amount of electricity.

Lightning was the perfect counter against evil spirits.

Zap! Crack!

Driver Mr. Zhang was electrocuted to the point his entire body was charred and trembling.

Nevertheless, during Su Yu’s “shock therapy, ” the ghost possessing him was swiftly eliminated and dissipated into a wisp of smoke.

“Ding! You’ve killed a Soul Controlling Ghost Iv8 and gained 640 Experience Points.”

Su Yu was now at level 10, so killing a level 8 ghost reduced the experience gained by 20%, from 800 points decreasing to 640 points.

If Su Yu were level 18 now, killing the Soul Controlling Ghost would basically give next to no experience points.

However, Su Yu did not pay heed to these meager experience points, the real boss was still waiting ahead!

Because the bus made a sharp turn and crashed into the guardrails, the interior of the bus was in chaos.

Some passengers were left with bleeding wounds, and began to curse:

“How are you driving this bus?”

“Did the engine stall?”

“Hey young man up front! What the hell are you doing? Don’t interfere with the driver! If something happens, will you take responsibility?”

Steward Little Li was pale, with cold sweat flowing down his back, and his lips were trembling so much that he couldn’t speak.

He was the only one who saw Mr. Zhang’s actions. It seemed that the young man wearing the Ultraman Tiga mask saved everyone at the most critical moment?

The whole scene was like something out of a TV Show!

But Su Yu ignored the noise behind him.

Before the bus even came to a complete stop, he used lightning to break the door, and leapt off the bus.

“Young man, you…” Little Li stretched out his hand, but was at a loss for words.

“No need to worry about me, just call the police quickly!” Without turning his head, Su Yu jumped over the guardrail and descended the cliff.

“Wow! Someone jumped off the cliff!” “Call the police quickly, someone has died!”

The bus was in total chaos.

Beside Su Yu jumping off the cliff, many people saw the burnt state of driver Mr. Zhang, screaming in horror.

But none of this concerned Su Yu anymore.

Having jumped off the cliff and then teleporting to the ground in the last second using the Flash Skill, Su Yu made a suave landing in the valley.

Right before him was a forest surrounded by a haze of darkness and filled with ghostly images.

The Soul Controlling Ghost he had just killed was merely a lackey; the real masterminds had taken refuge in this forest, eight ghosts in all.

According to the assessment made by a panel of experts from his previous life, that Soul Controlling Ghost had seized control of the driver, and by making the bus plunge off the cliff, the passengers became the food for the ghosts.

These ghosts later went on a crime spree.

After feasting on a few more “meals,” they posed as passengers and drove a bus straight into the East Sea Bus Station!

The East Sea Bus Station was turned into a river of blood, culminating into the death of 400 people, shocking the entire country!

The haunted forest in front of him was harboring the entire “criminal syndicate” of ghosts.

“I’ve found you!” A smirk could be seen on Su Yu’s face behind the mask..
