i have a museum of curiosities

Chapter 2 Night Road Bus Adventures

The night wind in October is very cool.

Looking at the crowd passing by on the side of the road, Zhang Ye clenched the coffee can in his hand.

"Today is really my unlucky day..." Zhang Ye smiled wryly, and murmured, "I was dumped by my girlfriend, I received the admission information inexplicably, I was urged to rent by the landlord, I was urged to get married by my mother, oh, and I also bumped into my girlfriend." A strange girl... Tsk tsk, it's really sad..."

Zhang Ye pursed his lips tightly, raised his head slightly, and looked at the dim moon in the sky, his eyes were a little blurred.

"Grumbling--"

After gulping down the coffee in his hand, Zhang Ye gritted his teeth and said softly, "Isn't it just life, I won't give up so easily! Whatever museum he is, as long as he pays, then go do it!"

Thinking of this, Zhang Ye had already made up his mind, so he took out his phone and checked the time.

21: 35.

There are still 13 minutes before the departure of the night bus on No. 25.

"It's still early...something has to be done."

The night wind was really cold, Zhang Ye tightened his clothes and frowned inadvertently.

"I didn't expect it to be really cold tonight. Instead of walking to the bus station to take the bus, it's better to take a taxi...Although the strange admission text message asks to take the No. 13 bus, as long as you can arrive at the interview place on time, it will be fine. .”

Muttering in a low voice, Zhang also quickly opened the taxi app on his phone.

"Huh? I couldn't find [Museum of Rare Treasures]... By the way, the text message said that I would take the night bus No. 13 to 'Chaicun Station', so I'll just search for this bus station."

After messing around for a while, Zhang Ye started jogging in the night wind with his mouth curled up and his arms crossed.

"Magjill... It costs 80 yuan for an online car-hailing car from here to 'Chaicun Station'! It only costs 2 yuan to take the night bus! Not to mention the text message reminding that you can only take the night bus of No. 13 bus, just say this taxi The fare is insane..."

Zhang Ye breathed out the fragrance, and walked towards the No. 13 bus stop displayed on the mobile phone map.

Ten minutes later, the bus station was already in sight, and Zhang Ye was inexplicably nervous.

What kind of position is this [Museum of Rare Treasures] recruiting?Am I really up to it?Should I go home and change into a formal suit before coming out?

While struggling, Zhang Ye walked towards the stop sign.

No. 13 night bus stops at 13 stops, and Zhang Ye is at the second stop "Beihai Road Station".

It is said to be a bus station, but it is actually a two-meter-high iron signboard with the route map of the No. 13 bus at night.Next to the stop sign was a wooden bench that looked flimsy. The paint on it had peeled off in sevens and eighties, and some wood had even cracked. On the back of the chair was an advertising leaflet from the community that I don’t know how many years ago.

dilapidated, desolate.

Zhang Ye was alone at the bus station at the moment. Except for the faint light from the dim street lamp above the bus stop sign, the surrounding area was actually pitch black.

The inexplicable loneliness wrapped Zhang Ye up, making him have to wrap his clothes tightly again.

"It's hard to imagine that this is a bus station in the city..."

Zhang also looked in the direction of the bus.

Total darkness.

"call--"

Letting out a breath slowly, Zhang Ye glanced at the dilapidated wooden bench, and then sat down on the side curb.

"That's not right... Then why does the text message stipulate that you can only take the night bus of No. 13? Does their staff know whether I can take this bus? Is this some kind of reality show? I'm just a person who was chosen inexplicably The unlucky one? Don't be funny... This kind of thing is impossible..."

After an unknown period of time, Zhang also felt that he was about to catch a cold, and finally saw two beams of light shining in the darkness from a distance.

"coming."

As the light in the darkness became brighter and closer, an old bus slowly drove into the bus station.

Looking at the bright words "No. 13 Night Bus" on the roof, Zhang couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief, stood up, and patted his buttocks.

The bus stopped steadily.Whether the driver intended it or not, the front door opened slowly facing Zhang Ye, and a strange cold wind blew in front of him.

Zhang Ye raised his eyebrows slightly, and a strange thought came to his mind—the scene in front of him was like a hungry beast slowly opening its mouth, ready to choose someone to devour...

Zhang Ye shivered silently, and after a little hesitation, he boarded the dilapidated bus in front of him.

"Dang bang bang—"

The two coins fell into the coin box smoothly.

At this moment, the phone in Zhang Ye's hand vibrated.Subconsciously, he leaned his body against the railing and looked down at the phone.

"Congratulations to the job seekers for successfully passing the interview! Next, please take the night bus No. 13 to 'Chaicun Station'. Note: Do not get off the bus on the way."

Zhang Ye instantly felt a chill rising from the soles of his feet all the way to Tianling Gai.

what's the situation?
Could it be that the staff of this "Museum of Rare Treasures" have been monitoring themselves?Or... are there people from them on this bus?
Thinking of this, Zhang also raised his head subconsciously to look at the carriage.

"Huh? There are so many people at night..."

Zhang Ye muttered, looking at the bus that was almost full, frowned slightly, a strange idea suddenly appeared in his heart, and the pictures described in some strange stories and stories he had read before also flashed in his mind.

"I must have thought too much... There are no such things in reality..." Zhang couldn't help but muttered, and silently put the phone back into his pocket.

"The vehicle is about to start. Passengers, please support and stand still."

The announcement sounded, and then the bus door slowly closed. Zhang Ye hurriedly stretched out his hand to grab the armrest, and looked at the only empty seat in the back row.

The bus started, and Zhang also quickly walked to the empty seat he saw earlier, and quickly sat down.

Next to Zhang Ye was a girl with dyed yellow hair, who was resting by the window with her eyes closed.Judging from her appearance and the backpack on her lap, Zhang also guessed that she should be a student.As for whether it is a high school student or a college student, Zhang is not sure.

Judging from this point of time, she should have just finished school?

After sitting in the seat, Zhang also settled down, and then silently observed the passengers on the bus.

The night bus No. 13 that Zhang Ye took was an old-fashioned bus with a total of 16 passenger seats, which turned out to be full at the moment.

In the evening, there are so many passengers.

Zhang couldn't help curling his lips, the doubts in his heart became more serious, and he even faintly felt a little uneasy.

Fear-free emotion doesn't mean no worry, no tension.

Zhang has also begun to deeply doubt whether it is right or wrong for him to take this trip tonight.

I'm not even sure what kind of organization this [Museum of Rare Treasures] is. Is it too reckless to kill them so swaggeringly?No matter what, you should maintain a certain degree of vigilance, right?
Could it be that too many things I encountered today made me lose my mind?

It shouldn't be... I'm usually not a person who trusts others easily, why am I so reckless tonight?

Could it be that... this [Museum of Rare Treasures] can confuse people's minds, and I was bewitched by this museum?No no, how is it possible!I must have read too many horror novels to have such absurd and uninhibited ideas!

Gritting his teeth in annoyance, Zhang Ye silently searched through his address book.

Just in case, find a trustworthy friend and tell me, if I am really "abducted", at least the other party can call the police to save me!

However, after searching for a long time, Zhang did not find a particularly trustworthy friend.

Maggill... all these years of my college life messing around with dogs?I can't even find a friend I can rely on...

Although parents can trust them, how can they open their mouths about such things?I just called a few hours ago to report that I was safe, and I promised to bring my girlfriend back during the Chinese New Year... Now I called and said that it might be dangerous, should the two elders worry to death?Maybe they will come directly from their hometown to Qingchuan...

But then again...Since I have long suspected that there might be danger, I am still planning to go to the [Museum of Rare Treasures] to have a look... Is this caused by curiosity or is it the real Shi Lezhi?
Sighing silently, Zhang Ye finally sent a message to his college roommate.But he didn't say anything about [Museum of Rare Treasures], he just asked the other party to call him in half an hour, and he had to confirm that he answered the phone.

"Old Peng is a smart man. If I don't answer the call, he should know what's going on... right?"

After thinking about it, Zhang Ye withdrew the previous message again, and then honestly told the other party that he went to see the staff of the [Museum of Rare Treasures], and asked him to call the police if he could not be contacted after half an hour.

After getting an affirmative answer from the other party, Zhang Ye finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that there are still people who can be trusted.Zhang also felt a little relieved inexplicably.

Looking across the passengers, Zhang Ye subconsciously leaned back in the chair.

It's okay, it's just that they are in the same car, even if there is really that thing among them, it will not hurt me for no reason.

After silently comforting himself, Zhang also fixed his eyes on the glass window next to him.

It was pitch black outside the window, and there was no way to see the way.But because there are lights in the car, it is dark outside the window, so the window becomes a natural mirror.

Zhang also accidentally saw the scene that made his scalp tingle, but he didn't seem to have seen it, and his expression was normal.But in fact, his hands were subconsciously clenched, and his body was slightly arched.

Just now, he saw through the reflection of the car window... the whole car was staring at him expressionlessly!
Up to now, Zhang didn't dare to take any chances anymore, and his heart was instantly filled with regret.

Why can't I think about it so much, I have to go to Naluoshizi's Museum of Rare Treasures?Why do you want to board this bus even though you have doubts in your heart?
Just when Zhang Ye was very annoyed, the speed of the car gradually slowed down, and the announcement suddenly sounded: "'Yishan Station' has arrived, please bring your belongings, and get off in an orderly manner through the back door."

The bus came into the station, the door opened and then closed quickly.

No one got in the car, and no one got out.

The bus is still full.

But Zhang Ye felt a chill for no reason, so he wrapped his clothes.

Only then did he discover a problem, a problem that made his hairs explode—the huge bus was full of passengers, but there was no sound at all!

Whether it's the sound of conversations or cell phone ringtones, or even the sound of moving, breathing... nothing at all!
Zhang also wanted to get out of the car, but when he thought of the text message he received when he got in the car, he still held back.

But an unexplained sleepiness suddenly hit his heart, Zhang also looked at the clock on the phone, it showed 22:07.

Only a few minutes passed, but Zhang Ye felt as if several hours had passed.

He yawned silently, feeling more and more sleepy, Zhang finally couldn't bear it anymore, and gently closed his eyes.

In his sleep, Zhang Ye was in a dark room, surrounded by whispers, and Zhang Ye tried hard to hear them, but those voices suddenly disappeared.

Not long after, Zhang also felt something touching him.It felt like a pair of cold little hands were gently placed on his shoulders.

It's so cold!Like ice cubes.

As soon as this idea came up, Zhang Ye felt more little hands on his back and legs...

I don't know how long it took, Zhang also fell into a drowsy sleep, and suddenly felt a gust of cool wind blowing, and he woke up immediately.

But at the next moment, something incomprehensible to him happened - he couldn't even move!

what happened?

What's wrong with me?Why can't I control my body?

It's not just an illusion, Zhang also felt that the surroundings suddenly became cold, as if someone was blowing cool air on his neck again, which made his hair stand on end instantly.

who is it?

Who is blowing on me?
Zhang Ye couldn't move his body, but because his head was resting on his knees, through the gap between his legs, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a pair of feet!

There were people standing around me, and a lot of them!

An indescribable feeling rose in Zhang Ye's heart. That feeling made his body tremble slightly, his lips were unconsciously pursed tightly, and his hands around his knees were silently tightened.

In the end, Zhang Ye's head also became muddled.

I... obviously can't control my body, why do I still have such a reaction?
Could it be... this feeling is "fear"?
At this moment, a strange singing sound entered Zhang Ye's ears.

"The moon is out in the sky, my sister looks at my elder brother and smiles happily..."

The clear singing voice has a strange penetrating power, which instantly clears up Zhang Ye's originally muddled head.

With a sudden shake of his body, Zhang also found that he could move.

He couldn't help looking at the front door of the bus, with a curious look full of joy and excitement.

"Tap-"

A familiar figure in a white T-shirt with thick bangs covering half of his face boarded the bus.

"Yo!"

The man waved at Zhang Ye, as if he still remembered him.

Flower wipe!What is she?

It turned out to be the "frizzy and arrogant" girl Zhang Ye accidentally knocked down during the day.

Yo you M head ah!By the way, why are you here?You know how weird this bus is...

and many more!

Zhang Ye suddenly thought of the wonderful singing just now, and his expression was full of doubt and shock.

Is it her?

Just when Zhang Ye was puzzled, the passengers in the car suddenly stood up from their seats as if they had been stimulated by something!

Seeing this scene, Zhang Ye's eyes were tearing apart.

The atmosphere was just a little weird just now, but now it's simply scary, okay!

For some reason, Zhang Ye was just surprised, the feeling that made him creepy before did not appear, so he couldn't help but secretly smiled wryly.

It turns out... I still don't understand what "fear" is...

Unexpectedly, the girl in the white T-shirt glanced at the carriage, and sang directly:
"The peaches from Zhige Lake come to patrol the mountain, and the ghosts and monsters hide far away."

An astonishing scene appeared, the passengers who had been standing in a daze sat back one by one!

In just a few seconds, the coldness in the carriage disappeared abruptly, and the dim lights brightened up again.

The girl in the white T-shirt walked straight towards Zhang Ye, and finally stood beside him.

"Rang Rang, I want to sit inside." The girl said.

"What?" Zhang Ye was taken aback, and said, "There are still people in the seat, how can you..."

Having said that, Zhang Ye glanced at the seat by the window...

Empty.

"what?"

Zhang also stood up directly from his seat.

"Oh, thank you!"

The girl in the T-shirt thanked him, walked past him naturally, and sat down comfortably.

what happened?What about the yellow-haired schoolgirl?It was clearly still there just now...

Although his heart was silent, Zhang Ye still felt his scalp tingling.

It seems that I really encountered something unclean.
