Zeng Fugui kept gripping the door frame, his arms trembling, as if he would be doomed if he opened the door.
Standing next to him, Wei Jin finally couldn't stand it anymore. He rubbed his temples and said to Zeng Fugui:
"Aren't you going to sit over there? There are plenty of empty seats."
To everyone's surprise, these words provoked a strong protest from Zeng Fugui, who shook his head so violently it almost knocked his head off.
"Brother, I... I'll just stay here. Don't you think it's scary to sit next to those people?"
At this moment, Wei Jin looked at Zeng Fugui with suspicion, not understanding how this person had made it into the top 100 of the rankings.
However, he still walked to the back of the bus, and only then did he realize that every row of seats had at least one passenger.
In other words, if they want to sit here, they must sit with the other passengers on the bus.
These passengers, at first glance, seem quite normal; most of them are elderly people and women.
However, if you look closely at their expressions and their clothes, it's easy to notice something amiss.
Lu Shi and Ye Bugui seemed completely unconcerned about this, and the two sat down in a three-seater.
Lu Shi glanced at the passenger next to him, a young and fashionable girl who looked like a college student.
However, her protruding belly was quite noticeable.
"You don't mind if we sit here, do you?" Lu Shi asked in a low voice.
The young pregnant woman shook her head, and even raised her snow-white face, revealing a smile that was almost like crying:
"Of course not, this is my first time meeting you."
Wei Jin chuckled. As expected of Lu Shi, he's even chatting with these ghosts.
He thought for a moment and then sat down next to a little girl.
Ye Bugui remained silent, sitting quietly by the window and watching Lu Shi perform.
After hearing what the pregnant woman said, Lu Shi showed a perfectly timed expression of surprise:
"Do you know every single passenger on the bus?"
After Lu Shi finished speaking, almost all the passengers' expressions changed.
They turned around and glared fiercely at Lu Shi behind them, as if he had exposed a secret between them.
However, Lu Shi lacked this awareness and continued speaking regardless:
"Or rather, do you all never get off the bus?"
The driver abruptly stopped the car and reprimanded him in an unyielding tone:
"Get out of the car right now!"
Lu Shi yawned lazily, and his involuntary indifference made Ye Bugui, who was sitting next to him, feel a little uncomfortable.
Lu Shi, who seemed to have regained his strength, also became a stranger.
"Get off?" Lu Shi shook his head. "We're going to a mental hospital. We haven't arrived at our stop yet, have we?"
The passengers reacted even more strongly when they heard that Lu Shi was going to a mental hospital.
Some people even stood up and turned around to yell at the landing man as if they wanted to tear him to pieces.
However, Lu Shi, as always, demonstrated excellent composure, ignoring the passengers' overreactions:
"Once we get to the mental hospital, you can get off the bus with me if you want. Don't you want to see the world outside?"
Zeng Fugui was dumbfounded. How could the Demon Lord be getting more and more reckless?
However, when he thought about Lu Shi's abilities, he felt that no matter how reckless Lu Shi was, it wouldn't be a problem.
Lu Shi's words finally provoked the driver. This time, he not only stopped the car in the middle of the road, but also walked up to Lu Shi and, with his pale face, began to hurl insults at him:
"You're not welcome here, get out!"
Unexpectedly, Lu Shi suddenly laughed. He somehow pulled out a talisman he had prepared beforehand from his pocket and stuck it on the driver.
The driver screamed and instantly turned into a puddle of black mud.
The passengers quieted down. Even if it were a ghost or monster, they knew to avoid its sharp edge, no matter how powerful it was.
Ye Bugui glanced at Lu Shi and thought to himself, "He's so handsome!" But he still couldn't help but remind Lu Shi, "What about this car?"
Unexpectedly, Lu Shi squatted down and placed another talisman on the muddy water.
In an instant, a brand new driver appeared.
He walked back to his seat without a word and silently started driving.
After this series of actions, Zeng Fugui and Wei Jin were both full of admiration for Lu Shi.
When it comes to dealing with ghosts and monsters, Lu Shi is much more meticulous than the White-Haired Demon Lord.
At this moment, Lu Shi returned to his seat and said in a low voice, "I need to confirm that he is really a ghost before I take action. I am not the kind of person who kills innocent people indiscriminately."
Ye Bugui was taken aback at first, seemingly not expecting Lu Shi to specifically explain all of this for him.
After a while, he smiled and said, "I know, but your spells are too complicated. Can you teach me?"
"Of course you can." Lu Shi breathed a sigh of relief. "However, whether you can learn it depends on your comprehension."
Just then, the young pregnant woman suddenly knelt down in front of Lu Shi.
She gritted her teeth, as if she were having a battle with herself.
The passengers nearby all perked up their ears, and sweat was dripping from their foreheads.
"I..." The pregnant woman bit her lip until it bled, but no blood came out. "Master, can you please help me pass on to the afterlife? I'm dying in a cycle every day, I can't take it anymore!"
The passengers were stunned; they never expected the pregnant woman to reveal the truth about the bus.
But the pregnant woman felt relieved and simply told everything she knew:
"The driver... he's not the murderer, the murderer is actually this car..."
No sooner had they finished speaking than a bloody hand suddenly emerged from beneath their feet, through the window, and even from the ceiling, attempting to attack the pregnant woman.
However, Lu Shi was prepared. He silently recited a spell that Ye Bugui did not understand, and then a bright light exploded inside the carriage.
In an instant, cries of pain rose and fell, but the bus continued to move forward, leaving behind not tire tracks, but streaks of blood.
It was as if the car was burning not oil, but blood.
In a mental hospital not far from them, a patient who was taking a nap suddenly opened his eyes.
As if he had expected it, he opened the window and started fiddling with the flowerpots he had placed on the windowsill.
Just then, the ward door was pushed open, and a fierce-looking nurse walked in:
"It's time for the injection."
The patient turned around, and despite being much older than the nurse, he pouted like a baby and complained:
"Auntie, I don't want to get a shot, I'm afraid of the pain!"
The nurse seemed used to all of this. Without saying a word, she covered the patient's mouth and forcibly injected a tube of green liquid into his neck.
...
The bus outside the window finally stopped, then split open from the middle, throwing Zeng Fugui and Wei Jin violently onto the street.
To their surprise, they discovered that the broken car body did not contain sophisticated mechanical structures, but rather, like a human being, it had vibrant muscle tissue.
Zeng Fugui shuddered: "So, this car was alive!"
As the thick fog dissipated, Lu Shi and Ye Bugui emerged unharmed.
Lu Shi then snapped his fingers, and the bus instantly turned into pieces.

Inside the event hall, the Demon Lord's Castle's exclusive live-streaming room was already packed with people.
At the beginning, many people questioned the result, but gradually, after seeing the screenshots on the forum, everyone realized that a real dark horse had emerged in this event.
"Isn't that the pretty-boy demon lord?" Someone who entered the live stream suddenly realized that the face looked so familiar.
"You bet he is. He is quite good-looking, but I don't know why so many people are looking at him."
These people were about to make sarcastic remarks when they saw the Demon Lord himself destroy the ghosts with a snap of his fingers, and they fell silent on the spot.
Soon, the live stream was filled with compliments; Lu Shi's performance had exceeded everyone's expectations.
Some have even pointed out that, given Lu Shi's abilities, even players ranked in the top ten of the leaderboard would likely be at a disadvantage in a contest of raw skill against him.
Lu Shi himself, unable to hear the system's prompts, was completely unaware that his little trick had such a huge impact on the audience.
Meanwhile, Zeng Fugui and Wei Jin, who considered themselves well-informed, completely forgot about managing their expressions.
They stared at Lu Shi in front of them, scratched their heads, and could hardly believe what they were seeing.
"Just like that, gone?" Besides admiration, Zeng Fugui also felt a hint of fear.
Players gain abilities by drawing cards, a concept that everyone has accepted. Moreover, most of these abilities are not very powerful and have many limitations.
Lu Shi's abilities were incredibly intimidating, and Zeng Fugui had no doubt that if anyone offended Lu Shi, he could eliminate that person in a matter of seconds.
His only consolation now is that he is Lu Shi's teammate, and as long as he doesn't go berserk, Lu Shi shouldn't lay a hand on him.
The bus was wrecked and lying on the ground. Ye Bugui quickly walked to Lu Shi's side.
Looking at that thin and lonely figure, Ye Bugui felt that Lu Shi must need him very much at this moment.
When Lu Shi turned his head, Ye Bugui realized that for a moment, even his heart stopped beating.
