My fairy tale is actually a strange story

Chapter 4 The non-existent last train

"work overtime?"

As night fell, Jiang Yuncheng, who was about to leave Lucheng No. 1 Hospital, received a text message from Lin Lan.

I have to work overtime tonight and won't be able to go back until quite late.

Being an administrator in a school is not as busy as an ordinary teacher, but it just happens to be the last quarter of the year, and there are new teaching management tasks arranged.

Regardless of Lin Lan's reasons, Jiang Yun Cheng Le blossomed.

If the other party went to get off work normally and returned to the dormitory of the welfare home, the "injured" Jiang Yuncheng would definitely have to go back now.

Even if there is no intimate behavior at night, Jiang Yuncheng still has to sleep with evil things in the bed.

I haven't seen Lin Lan's real body, but the skin is quite beautiful. This morning, I secretly caught a glimpse of the evil thing getting out of bed, and it looked like a gorilla, which really made people not want to get close.

Lin Lan did not go back, so Jiang Yuncheng planned to stay at Lucheng No. 1 Hospital until late at night, until the hospital restricted outsiders from staying at will.

After going out to buy a meal, Jiang Yuncheng walked from the emergency area to the inpatient department.

You need to swipe a companion card to enter the inpatient building, but it does not prevent you from walking to the small garden and outside the building.

[Obtain: Fragments of Ghost Stories]

...

It wasn't until half past 21: that night that Lucheng No. Hospital broadcast a message to non-hospitalized personnel to leave, and there were few passers-by other than patients in the emergency area, so Jiang Yuncheng had to leave the hospital.

Shadow Girl is currently Level 3, experience value 312/451
  It will definitely be upgraded tomorrow.

Jiang Yuncheng was more than 3 experience points short of leveling up. He had spiritual energy on hand. Yin Yang Water Pavilion continued to let it circulate. After such a short time, he was not in a hurry to salvage it.

Lucheng has a sense of age and there are no shared bicycles or electric vehicles. Jiang Yuncheng took a walk back in the night breeze, knowing in his heart that the situation was still urgent.

So what if I won't be dragged by evil things tonight, but what about tomorrow? What about the day after tomorrow?
  It won't take long.

We must find an opportunity to explore the edge of Lucheng and find a way out of the city. However, it was difficult to find fragments of ghost stories during the search. Only places like Lucheng No. 1 Hospital had such a high rate of film production.

Looking for a route out of the city not only reduces the cost of leveling up, but may also be detected by evil creatures arranged on the road out of the city.

"It would be nice if you gave me more time, three to five days more."

The start is really difficult, and there is too little information. Jiang Yuncheng still doesn't plan to sleep tonight. He will run the Yin Yang Water Pavilion all night long and consume spiritual energy to upgrade tomorrow when he is really exhausted and can't stand it anymore.

Save sleeping time and maintain efficient production of spiritual energy 24 hours a day.

At least, tonight is comfortable... huh? !
  At the intersection ahead, I met Jiang Yuncheng who was staring at him with familiar yet unfamiliar eyes.

That's...Lin Lan!
  Lin Lan and another female colleague were standing at the intersection.

If he hadn't been mentally strong enough, Jiang Yuncheng would have wanted to turn around and run away when he met Lin Lan here.

It was approaching 22 o'clock, the road was empty, there were few pedestrians, and there were no vehicles in the distance in front and behind, so it would be strange not to be seen.

"Night, good evening..."

"How did you come?"

In a short period of time, Jiang Yuncheng had recognized the current location.

Lucheng Primary School.

The place where Lin Lan worked.

Jiang Yuncheng only indirectly obtained the memory of the original owner and had not personally set foot in most places in Lucheng. Only then did he realize that on his way back to the orphanage from the First Hospital, he had to pass by Lucheng Elementary School.

Fortunately, there is room for improvisation.

"I saw your text message, saying you were working overtime, so I came to pick you up."

"Really, I'm running around before my back injury heals."

A sweet smile appeared on Lin Lan's face, and the female colleagues around her teased her.

"Was the wedding night so intense yesterday?"

"I hate it!" Lin Lan lightly hit his colleague, "My husband fell and was injured yesterday."

"Like This."

The two evil creatures were fighting. No matter how beautiful their skins were, Jiang Yuncheng would not feel the slightest appreciation. They were just like gorillas fighting. What really made Jiang Yuncheng feel better was that the topic was diverted and confused.

Just now, Jiang Yuncheng responded to the situation and said he was coming to pick up Lin Lan. If the other party asked, "How did you know I was at this point in the meeting?" Jiang Yuncheng would not be able to handle it.

"Hey, your name is Jiang Yuncheng, right?"

The pretty female teacher next to Lin Lan asked naughtily.

In Jiang Yuncheng's eyes, it was the gorilla who asked the question by default, "Hello."

"I'm a teacher from Lucheng Primary School, Xu Hong...how did you know we were coming out from the meeting at this time?"

This... whichever pot is not opened will be picked up.

If it weren't for his lack of fighting power, Jiang Yuncheng would have wished he could go up to slay the evil spirits now.

Fortunately, Xu Hong continued talking to herself, "Isn't it Lin Lan who has been waiting for us outside Lucheng Primary School?"

"Uh heh heh."

Jiang Yuncheng didn't want to reply, so he could only smile awkwardly.

This expression was equivalent to acquiescence, which made Lin Lan feel embarrassed.

"Really, this place is not far from the orphanage. It's unnecessary... You haven't eaten yet, right? Let's go eat something together."

Lin Lan asked, Jiang Yuncheng could only nod.

Xu Hong became naughty again, "I'll be with you and won't disturb you..."

"Don't be so talkative."

Most of the stationery stores and milk tea shops near Lucheng Primary School are closed after 22 o'clock, and only dim old street lights illuminate the road.

Lin Lan was familiar with the surroundings and knew that there was a tea restaurant open late at night, so she walked deeper into the road while chatting.

I have to eat with two evil things... Let's consider it a late night snack. Jiang Yuncheng secretly said it was bad luck and followed behind.

This place in Lucheng is really baffling. I really don’t understand why evil things want to build such a large area to imitate human life trajectories and pay attention to three meals a day.

Behind, car lights illuminate the road.

It's normal to have cars on the road. Occasionally a car would pass by late at night. Jiang Yuncheng didn't react much and only heard Lin Lan speak.

"Hey, that place is quite far. Let's take the bus."

"Is this the line?"

"Yes, bus No. 41, about two stops away." Lin Lan waved to stop the bus, "Honey, move quickly."

In the seats at the back of the carriage, Lin Lan and Xu Hong chatted happily, and Jiang Yuncheng moved to the back row to check in.

At this time, there were not many people in the car. There was an old lady on the love seat in front with her head lowered and mumbling, and there was a girl in school uniform on the seat next to her. Her clothes seemed to be wet.

Then there were two office workers with tired faces, their blue shirts were wet under their armpits, and they were dozing off against their seats.

There were no driving lights inside the bus, only street lights came through, and it was very dim.

"Hong..." Lin Lan realized something was wrong, "The No. 41 bus didn't seem to take this route before."

"But which way is this?"

The outside environment was completely dark, and the No. 41 bus seemed to be driving into a tunnel.

There are no tunnels in Lucheng!
  Not only that, Lin Lan realized something was wrong, "Hong, the last train... the last train should be gone at 21 o'clock!"

"Yeah... Then this is what we are traveling on..."

Jiang Yuncheng realized that there was danger and felt mixed emotions.

There are evil things in Lucheng, and so are the passengers on the bus. There is even an urban legend like a late-night bus that does not exist.

Chi Chi Chi——

Weird laughter came from the darkness ahead, and a scarlet grimace opened its mouth, ready to swallow the bus.
