Chapter 7

Suddenly waking up, Ye Xiang found himself sleeping for so long?

At this moment, he immediately looked toward the driver's seat!

The driver... is he dead now?

In the darkness, he suddenly glanced sideways and found that Jiang Youlin was also awake! Apart from her, the other few people seemed to be asleep. The male lead, Luo Haosheng, in front, was constantly tossing and turning, clearly immersed in a nightmare as the script described.

Ye Xiang lowered his head, slightly exposing it to look toward the driver's seat. However, it was pitch black there, and he couldn't see anything clearly.

Is the driver dead? Or not?

Jiang Youlin's gaze kept sweeping over him, their eyes meeting, and both understood each other's thoughts. In the current situation, they could only continue to observe.

The direction of the driver's seat was now silent. The time displayed on the phone was 11:59 PM.

Is the driver dead? After all, with such a small time difference, it's likely that midnight has already passed.

He held his breath, waiting for the seconds to tick by, not daring to move an inch.

Then he suddenly thought, the driver isn't an idiot. Knowing he would die, he would certainly have used a death redemption ticket to escape. How could he still be here?

Suddenly, in the darkness, a figure began to stand up in front of the driver's seat! It seemed to be the driver! He held his breath even more, knowing that perhaps in the next moment... he would see a real ghost... not a fake one played by an actor in a horror movie, but a truly terrifying ghost!

Ye Xiang bit his lower lip, feeling sweat streaming down his body, especially feeling a cold chill under his armpits.

The figure began to stand up and slowly walked. Suddenly, a spark flashed in the darkness, illuminating the person's face, which was indeed the driver's. He had lit a cigarette with a lighter. The light naturally disappeared in an instant.

After a long time, the driver sat back in the driver's seat.

At this moment, Ye Xiang's heart was racing, and he had never been so tense and frightened in his life. At this time, his gaze fell on Jiang Youlin, and he saw that her hand was pointing to a certain spot in front of her. Her fingers were trembling slightly...

At this moment, Ye Xiang also noticed that her body was trembling violently, clearly very afraid. However... the direction she was pointing to, when he looked, showed nothing unusual!

At this moment, Ye Xiang suddenly thought of a possibility. That is... Jiang Youlin saw something that only she could see! She might be a seasoned actor with the so-called "yinyang eye"?

At this moment, Ye Xiang's legs began to tremble. Anyone who grew up in a materialistic world, suddenly finding themselves in a horror movie world and facing real ghosts at close range, would be hard-pressed to remain calm and not faint from fear. This was already a sign of good psychological resilience! This was also because he had prepared himself mentally and there were many people in the car!

At this moment, he thought that the driver must have a good reason not to escape. He must have a powerful weapon to counter the ghost.

In the next moment, he suddenly heard the driver's body being thrown heavily to the ground, followed by intense struggling. In contrast, Luo Haosheng, sitting in front, was also struggling, probably because the nightmare had reached a critical point. When he woke up, he would see the terrifying scene as the script described.

He now clutched his head, hoping time would pass quickly, and that the driver could use the ghost-countering weapon to eliminate the ghost. That way, he could rush out after everything was over and take the weapon. If the driver died, it would be even easier to take it.

At this moment, his thoughts were already becoming chaotic. After all, it was understandable that anyone would be unable to control themselves in such a situation.

The sound of the driver's struggle suddenly stopped. Then, a loud scream was heard, which was from Luo Haosheng, who had just woken up from the nightmare!

Immediately, the car lights were turned on. The scream woke many passengers, including Zhang Nianzhou and Du Yan.

"What's going on..."

"Who's screaming..."

The moment the car lights were turned on, Luo Haosheng immediately looked toward the driver's seat. The driver was lying there, his face covered in blood, his hand on the switch to turn on the lights.

Many passengers saw this scene and, according to the script, screamed in unison...

The first act ended here.

Immediately, a flood of more information poured into Ye Xiang's mind, and the script for the second act was immediately delivered to his mind!

The information was extremely clear, and every detail could be recalled without any omissions!

The content of the new script... was like this!

At this moment, Ye Xiang's face turned pale!

Because...

In the second act, two people in the main cast would die. The first person was Du Yan. The second person was Xia Yun!

It was him!

Ye Xiang was going to die in the second act!

At this moment, Ye Xiang was almost on the verge of collapse. On the other side, Du Yan punched the car window hard, even drawing blood.

At this moment, Luo Haosheng had already rushed to the body and began examining it.

Zhang Nianzhou, seeing that he wouldn't die in the second act, was greatly relieved and patted Ye Xiang's shoulder, saying the lines: "What happened? The driver is dead?"

The look in his eyes was clearly full of sympathy.

The tour guide, the male and female leads, and others gathered around the driver's body, talking about calling the police, but their phones had no signal.

"Nobody approach the crime scene!" Luo Haosheng shouted loudly, "This is a murder case!"

The lead character was always the most prominent, and the people around him naturally followed his lead. Luo Haosheng then said, "Everyone, don't approach the scene! A murder has occurred, and we need to investigate... Did anyone see what happened?"

Ye Xiang quickly followed the script and put on a look of wanting to speak but holding back.

Luo Haosheng naturally "noticed" his odd behavior and immediately asked, "Xia Yun, do you know anything?"

At this moment, Ye Xiang felt something. The first act's script did not mention Xia Yun waking up and seeing the driver light a cigarette, revealing a terrifying ghostly image. Such an important plot point shouldn't be omitted from the script. He was clearly not sleepy but fell asleep, and later woke up, seemingly due to his constant worry preventing him from sleeping soundly. Could it be that his changed plot would directly affect the second act's script?

Then, he followed the script for the second act and said, "No... no, nothing. I just... felt the driver's death was too tragic..."

Luo Haosheng seemed a bit suspicious and then showed a puzzled look. This was the script's requirement, as the male lead saw the driver die in his dream, and this became reality, naturally causing great confusion. Recalling the old beggar's words, it added a touch of terror.

Then, the female tour guide, with a look of being on the verge of tears, acted very convincingly, "I... I don't know... what to do? I've led tour groups for so many years, and I've never encountered such a thing..."

At this moment, Kang Xueyan, after a brief examination of the body, said, "It looks like there are no external injuries. The blood seems to have come from the seven orifices. Could it be poisoning? There are no signs of a struggle around."

In the car, there were few young girls, mostly middle-aged and elderly women, so when the body was discovered, although there were screams, they didn't last long. Ye Xiang particularly noticed that Zhang Dekun and Jiang Yi had not returned. At this moment, Liu An, wearing a baseball cap, was staring intently at the driver's body.

"Is there no witness at all?" Luo Haosheng asked again, "Everyone was asleep?"

Of course, there were witnesses, and more than one. However, since the script didn't allow them to speak, Ye Xiang didn't need to do anything unnecessary. At this moment, with the car lights on and so many people gathered, his fear was somewhat alleviated.

He looked at the driver's body and pondered whether the driver had anything to counter the ghost. If not, where did he get the courage to stay in the bus? Or was the ghost-countering item not powerful enough, which is why he died? In any case, if there was such an item, Ye Xiang had to get it!

Because...

According to the script, Ye Xiang's life was down to just over half an hour!
