Chapter 453: Buses for transporting different options

The fortune teller predicted the future, Gao Ming saw the past, and as the words representing the present disappeared, only bloodstains remained on the fragments of clothes.

For a witch who is somewhere between a human and a ghost, her blood is both life force and longevity, a part of her magic, and a necessity for sacrifice.

Having lost so much blood, the witch might not even be able to be a ghost, let alone a human being.

"The reason why the black fog appeared is still unclear. It must contain a great cause and effect, so the witch dare not touch it. She just calculated a way out."

Gao Ming checked the three copper coins in his palm. The first copper coin had an open eye engraved on it, the second copper coin had bloody hands and feet on it, and the third copper coin had a beating heart engraved on it.

It seemed that before disappearing, the witch sacrificed three parts of her body into the copper coins, and in this way escaped the detection of the terrible existence in the black fog.

"One road leads to true death, and the other road leads to true reality. The words left by the witch are very interesting." Gao Ming looked back at the students. Could it be that the true reality is where these students lived before? And the true death is the place where the black fog was born?
"Lu Zang said that the vast sea is a prison, where people and ghosts are mixed up, and all citizens are living in a fatalistic script."

"So-called fate is the most powerful ghosts in the two worlds of true reality and true death?"

"They worked together to build the city of Hanhai, but what is the meaning of their doing so? Building a hunting ground for the living in real reality? Or building a slaughterhouse for the ghosts in real death?"

Shadows invaded the vast ocean, citizens were trampled like pigs and dogs, dead gods exploited faith, crazy ghosts killed at will, and some living people were replaced by anomalies. Their bodies, families, and memories became toys and nourishment for others.

Is this what fate wants to see?
Unconsciously grasping the steering wheel, Gao Ming felt disgusted and wanted to escape. "There are two roads ahead. One leads to a desperate truth, and the other leads to a miserable death. Perhaps staying in the vast sea and becoming a false god is the safest choice. But if I choose that, wouldn't I have died so many times in vain?"

The veins on the back of his hand were clearly bulging. Gao Ming stared at the black fog in front of him. The fog had already covered the buildings on both sides. He couldn't even see the road under his feet without using his supernatural powers.

"I have died time and again, and have been reborn in chaos and ignorance. I am admired by all my past selves, and I have gained the hope they have pieced together with their deaths. I think they definitely don't want to see me become a corrupt and hypocritical god, and don't want themselves to become the person they hate the most."

"Go forward! See clearly those two roads! If I die again, let me become a ladder and lift the next me to the shrine!"

Gao Ming had contempt for fate in his eyes. The unspeakable terror and unknown fear could not shake him at all. He had made all preparations.

"Teacher Li, can you give me the car keys? I will try to take you to the main road, out of the black fog, to the vast sea." Gao Ming's voice was calm, but it revealed a firmness and strength.

Teacher Li moved her eyes slightly hesitantly, her eyes dodging. The last words Wei Tian said to her seemed to be related to Gao Ming. She didn't dare to hand over the car keys to Gao Ming, as that would be like handing over the lives of everyone in the car to Gao Ming.

"Or you can drive and I'll show you the way." Gao Ming stood up from the driver's seat. "I know you're worried about the missing students. The key problem now is that no one dares to get out of the car to look for them. If you continue to stay in the town, the ghosts might get closer, and the monsters in the black fog might hurt the other students in the car."

Holding the key tightly in her pocket, Teacher Li wanted to find someone to discuss the matter, but she didn't even dare to open the car door and could only make eye contact with the students around her.

"I think we can give it a try as he said. He saved my life before." Chen Jing was very smart. He spoke for Gao Ming first, as if he was on Gao Ming's side, and then immediately told everyone what happened in the hotel.

Concealing some information that was unfavorable to Gao Ming, Chen Jing told other students what the voice in his heart told him, and also told them about the speculation that this was a forbidden game. Because of Gao Ming's "guidance", Chen Jing and Shen Tu Que awakened the "system" one after another, and Gao Ming also confirmed his identity as a novice guide NPC.

"I don't have the ability to save all of you, but I can take you to my camp, which is temporarily not disturbed by the black fog." Gao Ming helped Teacher Li to the driver's seat.

"A camp in the black fog?" Some students seemed to understand: "Is it similar to a shelter? Is it our rebirth point?"

"You're overthinking it. There's no rebirth point or shelter here. It could be eroded by the black fog at any time." Gao Ming glanced at the students on the bus. What he was about to do was very dangerous: "Don't count on anyone, don't have any illusions. If you want to be safe, then turn your heart into the first shelter."

"It still doesn't work." Teacher Li took out the car keys, but shook his head again.

"You still don't believe me?"

"I can't drive."

Sitting back in the driver's seat, Gao Ming started the bus full of students from Class 13. He did not say hello to the God Jingtuo. Their separation in the black fog might mean a farewell forever.

Staring at the road on the ground, Gao Ming couldn't get out of Xiao'an Town. Normally, this place is only a few minutes away from the town entrance.

"Everyone, sit tight and fasten your seat belts. Remember to remind me if you are about to hit the wall." After saying this, Gao Ming didn't care about the pale faces of the teachers and students. He closed his eyes and patiently felt a certain call from the bottom of his heart. He stored the clay sculpture of the Flesh and Blood Immortal in the camp outside the town.

Gao Ming stepped on the accelerator, listened to the shouts of his classmates, and moved closer to the calls little by little. About ten minutes later, a flickering light appeared in the black fog in the distance.

"There's someone! There's someone ahead!"

Seeing the light, Teacher Li also breathed a sigh of relief. Gao Ming did not lie to her. There was indeed a camp outside the town. They really left the town under Gao Ming's leadership and came to the main road.

"As long as we follow the main road, we will definitely be able to enter the city. Our chances of getting rescued will increase, and at worst the signal will be restored." With great expectations, Teacher Li looked forward.

The black fog slowly retreated to both sides. The students stood up from their seats. In the light of the fire, they saw a shabby bus covered with strange graffiti.

That car seemed to have once been a school bus, and was about 60% similar to the bus they were riding.

The bus was filled with masked passengers, and clay sculptures that were about to collapse were placed outside the bus. Near the bus body, a campfire was lit with a shrine as the base and black-and-white photos as firewood.

"I spent a lot of effort to find that car." Gao Ming opened his eyes, opened the door, and walked into his camp: "Two buses, two roads, it's really a bit difficult to choose."
