Marvel: I Am Urban Legend

Chapter 4 Weird Rules-Escape from Death

The autumn wind is bleak, the fallen leaves are returning to their roots, and the city at midnight is no longer hustle and bustle during the day. The dim street lights are flickering and making a "sizzling" sound.

Office buildings one after another stood like the teeth of monsters intertwined. As the last light went out, something strange suddenly awakened in this space, and the atmosphere gradually became gloomy.

The night shift driver who occasionally passed by also stepped on the accelerator and left the place in a hurry, as if something was staring at him, which made people feel numb.

"call..."

"It's finally done. It's not easy to be a newcomer. The dirty work will always be yours." The man in a clean suit shook his stiff neck and spoke in a low voice.

The man's name is Fu Wei, a hard-working new programmer who works in the office building here. The last light that was extinguished just now means that his work is finally over for the day.

I glanced at my watch, which showed that the time was 00:12.

"what..."

"I think I might die suddenly if this keeps up."

Fu Wei updated a message in his circle of friends with a photo of the eerie office building behind him.

"Ding..."

Fu Wei's comment on Moments was sent to him by his eldest brother in his university dormitory: "Remember to drink more scented tea, so that the body will smell good after sudden death~"

"Damn, if you're still up so late, you definitely don't have a sex life."

Fu Wei had just finished replying to his elder brother's message. Before he could put down his phone, the next comment made his brain congested and his eyes turned as red as blood.

"Since your circle of friends will have a negative impact on the company, you will be kicked out of this project with immediate effect."

The message from the project team leader made Fu Wei want to rush to him right now and use his sandbag-sized fist theory to discuss his "Mediterranean" theory.

"I am responsible for writing all the troublesome and tedious things in the project. Team leader, you also said that I have very good abilities. After the project is completed, you want to help me with a salary increase? But now that the project is almost completed, you Kicked me out because of a friend circle? Why? Why exactly?"

After working overtime day and night for a month, the pressure on his mind and body finally broke out because of a light comment. Fu Wei looked like a madman for a moment, raised his head to the sky, and shouted crazily. All he could think about was, "You are kicked out." This project..." these words.

"Drip..."

"What's the name of a ghost in the middle of the night? It's the last bus, can we leave?"

A middle-aged man shouted angrily. At some point, a bus stopped in front of him, and the person who just made the sound was the bus driver.

He just wanted to take it out on the person who was speaking, but seeing the anger on the bus driver's face, Fu Wei felt that he suddenly lost his temper.

"Oh, okay, let's go, let's go..."

Fu Wei spoke obediently and got on the bus in a daze. He had no idea why there would be such a strange thing as a bus at this time.

"Crack..."

The door closed and the bus started moving slowly, but Fu Wei couldn't swipe the bus card. Finally, he awkwardly dug out 20 dime coins in his pants pocket and put them one by one into the cash register. In the box, I looked at the driver out of the corner of my eye and found that the driver had been looking straight ahead and didn't notice him. He breathed a sigh of relief silently in his heart, turned around and walked towards the back of the car.

He had just gotten on the bus in a hurry and didn't notice anything unusual. But now, when he looked at it, for a moment, Fu Wei felt a cold air rushing to the sky. He saw that the passengers in the car all had pale faces, straight backs, and eyes. Wu Shen looked straight in front of him.

Fu Wei quickly turned back to look at the driver. Where was the fierceness he had shown when he yelled at him? A strange smile appeared on his pale face, and a pair of dead fish-like eyes were staring at him through the rearview mirror. .

Fu Wei's brain was coaxed, and his scalp was numb and cold. He suddenly remembered, how could there be a bus at this time? For a moment, he only felt that his two thighs were trembling, and there was a warm current in his lower abdomen. He rushed toward little Fu Wei, and for a moment, Fu Wei only felt that something seemed to be left, warm, from the inside of his thigh.

At this time, all the passengers in the car slowly turned their heads and turned their attention to Fu Wei.

Fu Wei felt as if he was firmly grasped by a pair of invisible hands. He wanted to run, but his body showed no reaction and remained motionless. He wanted to shout, but he felt as if something was blocked in his throat. He could only open his mouth in vain, but could not make any sound. Silent fear filled his whole body.

At this time, the passengers stood up slowly, as if they would pounce on them and eat them in the next second. Just when Fu Wei felt that he was about to die young, a voice suddenly sounded: "Master , please stop the car, my friend peed his pants, let’s get out first, don’t make your car dirty.”

A middle-aged man of about 27 years old stood up from the last seat. While talking, he walked towards Fu Wei, grabbed his arm, and pulled him to the rear door, waiting for the driver to drive.

Strangely enough, after the man finished speaking, the passengers in the car slowly sat back in their seats and resumed their sitting postures, looking straight ahead.

The driver slowly retracted the corner of his mouth that reached behind his ears. His eyes like dead fish looked through the rearview mirror at the young man who had ruined their good deeds. His eyes were full of resentment and madness, but he didn't know what was going on. The reason was that he finally stopped the car slowly and allowed the two of them to get out of the car safely.

The young man who rescued Fu Wei was Zheng Ye. When he first came to this mission world, he appeared directly on the bus just now. The bus was full of passengers who did not look like human beings. In fact, they got off for Zheng Ye. He jumped greatly and covered his mouth firmly. After a while, he discovered that the ghost in the car did not notice him, so he forced himself to calmly ask the system what was going on.

The response given by the system is that if no real passengers get on the bus after 15 minutes, then this bus full of ghosts will find him as the only living person. The result can be imagined, and the person who escaped from the bus will The method is to wait for another real passenger to get on the bus. Zheng Ye finds a reason to get off the bus and escape with the passenger who just got on the bus. During this period, the ghosts will not make any changes.

Just when Zheng Ye looked at his watch anxiously and there was only one minute left, Fu Wei appeared on the bus. Zheng Ye could not confirm that Fu Wei was a real person, so he observed it secretly. After a while, when the ghosts finally attacked Fu Wei, he made a request to get out of the car.

Looking at the young man lying on the ground beside him, gasping for air, Zheng Ye squatted down, handed him a cigarette and asked: "Brother, my name is Zheng Ye, what is your name?"

Looking at the cigarette handed over by Zheng Ye, Fu Wei stuttered and replied: "I...my name is Fu Wei, thank you...thank you for saving me just now, I...I don't know how to smoke."

After finishing speaking, Fu Wei supported his body with trembling hands and sat down leaning on the stone pillar by the roadside.

"I should thank you..." Zheng Ye took a puff of cigarette and said slowly.

Fu Wei looked at Zheng Ye in confusion. He didn't know what he meant. Zheng Ye didn't bother to explain. He took a long puff of cigarette and slowly stood up straight. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he always felt that he was confused by what he just said. The incident became more and more resistant, and apart from the panic at the beginning, there was no wave in my heart at all now.

"Thank you again, sir. My home happens to be nearby. I'm going back."

After a while, Fu Wei was finally able to control his body and speak normally. He looked at his surroundings and slowly said thanks to Zheng Ye.

"Okay, bye brother!"

"Well, bye, sir!"

Watching Fu Wei slowly walk into the community behind him, a light was lit at the same height on the buildings on the left and right sides. The iron gate at the door made a creaking sound. From Zheng Ye's perspective, it seemed like a A ferocious beast has revived and is about to choose someone to devour.

"call..."

Zheng Ye calmly exhaled the smoke from his mouth, stubbed out the cigarette butt in his hand and threw it into the trash can next to him.

"System, do you have any clues about the next task?" Zheng Ye said calmly to the system in his heart.

"Enter the river guard railing 100 meters ahead, watch the ghost driver's origin memory, and look for a way to crack it. Note that the ghost driver will appear again in half an hour. Please find the origin memory and log in again before the ghost driver appears again. Go to "The Last Train of Night", otherwise the host will be discovered by other unspeakable ghosts."

"In view that the host has completed the first half of the task, the system hereby issues a reward - "Spirit Touching Body""

""The Body that Touches Spirits"—Everything I can see, I can touch."

"It's really a short introduction! But I don't feel anything in my body right now, and I don't know what its specific function is."

Zheng Ye patted his body, looked left and right, and finally found nothing different, so he walked towards the next mission target indicated by the system.
