Chapter 106 Departure, the Ghost Bus No. 44

Amidst the blinding red light...

The needle and thread moved as fast as lightning, instantly entangling the Ghost Shop Owner!

Crack~

A terrifying, shrill scream rang out.

In an instant.

The Needle and Thread Ghost, along with its needle and thread, was actually snipped apart by those terrifying ghost scissors!

The supernatural power dissipated.

It had been countered.

{The Needle and Thread Ghost has suffered heavy damage.}

Meanwhile, the powerful and terrifying deterrent and devouring force of 'Heavenly Garment Suppressing Malevolence' also enveloped the Ghost Shop Owner.

The Ghost Shop Owner was completely unable to resist this destructive attack.

At the critical moment.

A horrifying scream of agony echoed.

Her ghost body shattered into pieces, exploding in all directions.

The red light faded.

Only a palm-sized, entirely black little puppet was seen falling to the ground with a thud.

At the same time.

Lu Xian received a new notification:

{You have repelled the attack of the B-Class Evil Ghost, the Ghost Shop Owner.}

{The Puppet Ghost Shop Owner has developed immense hatred toward you and has sought help from a mysterious B-Class Ghost. They will retaliate against you again; the danger level is B+.}

{Please leave this location within two hours and evade this pursuit.}

{You have obtained a hidden C-Class reward: Ghost Puppet Master class.}

The previously dim ghost seals on the demon-suppressing celestial master robe also regained some of their luster.

Lu Xian's expression was solemn as he stared at the palm-sized puppet doll on the ground:

{Substitute Doll (Damaged): Special item. Can absorb all damage and serve as a substitute for death once.}

"Substitute Doll?"

So that means...

This thing is what allowed the Ghost Shop Owner to escape disaster?

Furthermore, those ghost scissors couldn't be kept either.

At the same time, nearly half of the hundreds of ghosts within the demon-suppressing celestial master robe had suffered heavy damage.

However, none had dissipated; they could still be preserved.

Including that B-Class Needle and Thread Ghost, they all needed time to recover.

The 'overpowering' aura of the taoist robe that deterred surrounding spirits had also receded; its momentum was greatly reduced, making it less frightening to ghosts.

This wave was a small loss.

He then checked the class information:

[Ghost Puppet Master: C-Class Soul-type class. Can tailor low-level souls to create and control ghost puppets.]

"Create ghost puppets?"

Lu Xian frowned.

He felt this class was somewhat useless.

Because he had the demon-suppressing celestial master robe, which came with its own controllable ghosts.

But this was the first class ability he had acquired, and it was C-Class, which was already quite good.

Sometimes, a Survival Challenger's class can produce unexpected effects in certain survival spaces.

Lu Xian scanned the surroundings; the ghosts he had driven out had all been retracted.

"That ghost escaped."

He spoke up.

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire audience was shocked!

A B-Class Ghost actually escaped??

[Is the Streamer joking with us?]

[Damn, it doesn't look like it...]

[Brother Lu is the GOAT~]

[D-Class vs B-Class, and he even drove it away...]

[Holy crap, are Survival Challengers so competitive nowadays?!]

Lu Xian's livestream room was boiling once again.

No one had expected this.

Could Lu Xian really deal with B-Class Evil Ghosts?!

This is too ridiculous!

No wonder King Lu had taken the initiative to contact him earlier.

The rumors were not groundless.

It seemed this Lu Xian's background was truly not simple; otherwise, how could he possibly dare to deal with a B-Class as a D-Class.

One must know that C-Class challengers are completely vulnerable before B-Class transcendent supernatural creatures.

At the same time, Lu Xian was also clear about one thing: a B-Class Ghost isn't something he can catch just because he wants to.

Moreover, there's a limit to how many B-Class supernatural attacks the demon-suppressing celestial master robe can currently withstand.

Being alive was already lucky enough.

"But the situation will get even more dangerous next."

"I think I need to find a place to hide now."

Lu Xian continued.

If two B-Class Ghosts were really hunting him?

Then the best course of action would be to leave this place, and while recovering, enhance the strength of the demon-suppressing celestial master robe to fight back.

Everyone in the livestream room asked why.

Lu Xian then informed them of the notification content from just now.

The livestream room was in an uproar, with people advising him one after another:

[Hiss... does that mean Lu Xian will be attacked by two B-Class Evil Ghosts?]

[Terrifying!]

[Streamer, run quickly~]

Lu Xian nodded, choosing a rational retreat.

He had previously intended to clear out all the ghosts on this street and lock them all inside the demon-suppressing celestial master robe.

The ghosts in the fast-food restaurant, the ghosts in the Horror Experience Hall—take them all.

However, it seemed now...

His previous thoughts were too naive.

A single B-Class Ghost was already difficult to handle, let alone the fact that some B-Class Ghosts were lurking inside those shops.

Once a supernatural riot was triggered, he would be in danger.

"How to leave this street now is a problem."

Lu Xian looked around, secretly searching for a way to leave this ghostly place.

He had already walked through here several times.

No matter how he walked, the map would inexplicably loop.

He simply couldn't walk out.

The bullet chat was full of various suggestions.

Among them, Lu Xian saw one comment:

[That ghost earlier drove here; could a car be a way to leave this place?]

Driving?

It sounded a bit absurd.

After all, in a supernatural space, one needs to drive to leave?

It just felt very strange.

But Lu Xian looked at the cars and buses driving on the street.

Only then did he notice those vehicles.

He found that some vehicles were repeating their routes, looping here just like him, unable to get out.

But there were also some that didn't repeat, and those were the buses.

"Perhaps a specific method is needed to leave this place."

He chose to give it a try.

However, Lu Xian didn't immediately choose to get on a bus.

Instead, he chose to take that 'car' the Ghost Shop Owner had parked by the roadside, or rather, a ghost car, a phantom car.

The keys were still in the ignition.

"I can't drive out."

Lu Xian tried driving a loop and found himself back at the starting point.

"Let a ghost try."

He decided; it was possible that this type of car required a ghost driver.

He immediately summoned a C-Class Lecher Ghost.

The C-Class Lecher Ghost was a pale-faced man with stubble and heavy dark circles under his eyes. With that lecherous look and a visible bulge in his underwear, he seemed to have very strong desires.

Lu Xian ordered him to drive.

The C-Class Lecher Ghost obeyed and drove the car.

The scenery outside the window flew past.

However, Lu Xian soon returned to the original spot.

Clearly, a ghost driving didn't work either.

"What should be done then?"

Lu Xian retracted the Lecher Ghost and gave a bitter smile to the people in the livestream room.

He didn't know how that Ghost Shop Owner had driven back.

The livestream audience all advised him to try taking the bus.

"I guess that's the only way."

Lu Xian got out of the car and headed to the bus stop.

On the way, he conveniently caught a few more C-Class and D-Class Ghosts.

Arriving at the roadside bus stop, he was the only one waiting for the bus.

He glanced at the route map at the stop:

"Guimen City, Baishui District, Lunan Street, Wencang Road, Pingan Street..."

By now, Lu Xian already knew the general map of this City of Terror.

"Why didn't I think of coming here to look at the map before?"

He waited for about fifteen minutes.

The bus hadn't arrived yet, but a Drunkard Ghost smelling of alcohol and stumbling around arrived, seemingly also waiting for the bus.

Lu Xian conveniently imprisoned him to give him a ride.

He waited for another half hour.

He still hadn't seen a passing bus stop, though he did catch a few ghosts waiting for the bus.

Until nearly an hour had passed.

Lu Xian finally saw a small red-and-white bus slowing down and pulling over.

Guimen City Bus Route 44.

"Should I wait for the next one?"

Lu Xian suddenly spoke up.

Route 44, this number looked unlucky at a glance.

But the next bus was at 4:44 PM.

This bus was at 2:44 PM.

If he waited another two hours, that Ghost Shop Owner would have already returned with other B-Class Ghosts for revenge.

He was a bit conflicted.

[Route 44 is good, double the fortune.]

[Exactly, exactly.]

[4+4 is 8, which means making a fortune; this bus is a fortune bus.]

But the bullet chat was full of people egging him on.

Screech~

Pshhh~

The bus braked to a halt, the door opened, and an old ghost with a cane stepped off.

Lu Xian glanced inside the bus; there was a driver with a face like a zombie and seven or eight passengers, all of whom looked terrifying and gruesome.

He remained vigilant but ultimately chose to step onto the bus.

Just go then.

"Do I need to buy a ticket?"

Inside the deathly silent bus, Lu Xian suddenly asked a question.

At that moment, all the 'people' in the bus turned their heads to look at him.

There was no response.

For a moment, the atmosphere was incredibly eerie and gloomy.

It seemed riding the bus was free.

Seeing this, Lu Xian shrugged and found an empty seat to sit down.

The stench of corpses in the bus wouldn't dissipate.

[666, Brother Lu is really brave.]

[I was just saying it; I didn't expect him to actually get on. Say no more, I'm tipping ten bucks for this courage.]

[It looks like a terrifying ghost bus at first glance; he's really not afraid of something happening.]

[He has no choice, he has to take a gamble. Otherwise, he won't be able to get out.]

[True, he's being chased by 2 B-Class Ghosts.]

The audience watching the entire livestream was discussing animatedly.

His livestream popularity remained high at this time, with over 18 million people watching online.

After Lu Xian sat down, apart from the smell, he didn't feel any discomfort.

He glanced at the bus clock.

2:44 PM.

The bus didn't start moving.

After waiting for a moment, a woman and a child got on the bus.

They quietly found a spot and sat down, then became as rigid and motionless as if they were dead.

"Two C-Class Ghosts."

Lu Xian noted to himself after a glance.

There were now 11 ghosts in the bus: 7 D-Class and 4 C-Class.

Including him, 12 seats were occupied.

Time: 2:50 PM.

An old man and an old woman got on the bus and also sat down quietly.

"One B-Class! One C-Class!"

An old ghost this terrifying?!!

Lu Xian was secretly alarmed but observed silently.

The ghost bus wasn't safe either.

Fortunately, there didn't seem to be any danger for now.

At 2:54 PM, the bus finally started moving.

The scene outside the window began to blur, as if entering the night, pitch black like an abyss; the scenery outside was completely invisible.

Lu Xian received a notification saying he had left that place.

At the same time, the original 2-hour countdown changed to 24 hours later.

This meant he had temporarily escaped the Ghost Shop Owner's pursuit.

However.

As time passed, Lu Xian discovered a bizarre situation.
