Chapter 415: Unexpected
“Perhaps,” Han Dong analyzed calmly, “we could break the cycle by letting the figure at the crossroads get on the bus.”
“But what if we can’t confront this individual? Letting them on the bus could end us all… we could even et a more terrible fate.
I want to get off… I don’t want to continue anymore.
At least, I could choose my way of dying if I stay back in the supermarket.”
David, our protagonist, wanted to retain this person, because in his view, another person added to their battle power…
Just then,
Han Dong, who sat in the back row, propped his leg up and hit his firefighting axe against the tal handrail with a displeased expression on his face.
“Bloody hell, get lost now! Why’d you even get on the bus if you aren’t even aware of the risks?
Also, if there’s anyone else who’s afraid of dying, I suggest you get off the bus right now.
If anyone talks about being scared of dying and not wanting to carry on… I’ll bash your head off with this axe!”
Han Dong’s thundering threats, coupled with his fierce gaze, forcefully made the still-hesitant passenger get off the bus.
This incident stayed true to Han’s character.
Letting this fearful person stay on the bus would inevitably disrupt the group’s future maneuverings, so better to have him leave promptly. It’d benefit the team’s operations.
“Mr. Nicholas, what about this…” David seed sowhat embarrassed.
“What? You don’t believe ? Getting on this bus to explore the mist ans we’ve already prepared ourselves for death. If you’re scared, get lost.”
The driver Daniel spoke up at this point,”Mr. Nicholas is right. Once you get on this bus, you have to be prepared to die… Although the supermarket is safe, death is still inevitable in the end.
Our choice to explore the mist ans we’ve exchanged higher risk for a faint, yet present glimr of hope.”
Due to Han Dong’s outburst.
Previously frantic due to the uncanny cycle, the townsfolk suddenly regained their determination…continuing to navigate beyond the edges of the town.
Nothing changed.
The mysterious figure shrouded in a dark robe still waved slowly by the side of the road.
“Prepare to stop the bus and let him in… Everyone, get ready! If anything we cannot control happens, break the windows and jump out of the bus.”
“Okay!”
Everyone gripped their weapons tightly, viewing the mysterious hitch-hiker as a more terrifying humanoid monster than the Octopus Soldiers.
The bus stopped, while its doors were imdiately aid at by four handguns.
The hooded figure at the side of the road stopped waving, but didn’t seem to want to get on imdiately.
Just then, the card in Han Dong’s On Pouch responded.
“Just had to be now!”
Seizing the opportunity when everyone’s attention was on the mysterious person, Han Dong quickly drew a card from his pouch.
Six!
Nurous Octopus head Marks appeared on the face of the card, denoting the highest level of danger…maximum On!
This made Han Dong shiver to the core, and his back was imdiately soaked in cold sweat.
Such a threat could obliterate everyone on the bus in an instant and put Han Dong himself in imdiate danger.
The tal Dice were in Han Dong’s hand, he didn’t have much ti with the minute-long restriction.
He gently tossed the dice on the smooth wooden seat of the bus…[6].
“Hmm!?” Han Dong was a bit surprised as lady luck seed to have smiled upon him in the nick of ti.
“Equal values, this On is nullified…Probability of drawing “Despair Mont” increased by 60%”
anwhile, the mysterious man cloaked in black stepped onto the bus.
A man holding a handgun due to nervousness and suspicion even wanted to use bullets to assess the danger directly.
“Bang!”
But, Han Dong tily intervened and stopped this person.
“Everyone, put down your guns! He’s not an enemy.”
After hearing Han Dong, David was the first to lower his gun.
Following David’s action, the other townsfolk steadily cald down but still remained vigilant towards the mysterious figure.
After boarding the bus, this mysterious person directly threw back her hood exposing an exquisite beautiful face.
An alluring face of a twenty-year-old college student…her smooth and tender skin is flawless.
Her hair, incredibly, is a natural sea-blue that’s slightly damp.
The glow from her eyes is restrained, revealing a pair of large black eyes that resembles black pearls.
This beautiful woman completely flabbergasted several of the townsfolk.
But one thing they were sure of.
They had never seen such a stunning girl in their town before…she wasn’t a local.
The mysterious girl who had boarded the bus only stared at Han Dong with her big, shiny black eyes, as he was the one who made the group let their guard down.
She was barefoot.
Every step she took left a wet footprint…
She walked alone to the back row of the bus and sat by the window…right next to Han Dong.
Sea-blue and damp hair,
Moist soles,
and an intermittent sll of seafood,
All these clues hinted that there might be so connection between the woman and the mist monster.
“Mr. Nicholas, what do you think…”
“Just keep driving for now. Let’s see if we can successfully get out of the mist…I’ll talk to her. No threatening moves from anyone. Got it?”
“Okay!”
The school bus moved on.
This ti, as they left the town, the bus was no longer shrouded in the dense fog. The cycle was broken and they smoothly exited the town.
It would seem the [Cycle] was related to this mysterious woman.
While the townsfolk were exhilarated about leaving the town, they also beca more alert. Every now and then they would steal glances at the beautiful ‘monster.’
…
Intentionally, Han Dong sat leaving a seat between himself and the mysterious woman.
While assessing this woman who seed to have erged from the deep sea, he thought about the previous On card draw…
He wondered: “What if the values weren’t equal, the On would have certainly corresponded to a terrifying aspect of this woman.
It could have been impossible to confront a sea creature from the deep sea, which could have instantly enslaved everyone on the bus or possibly dragged the entire bus into the deep sea.
But…thanks to good luck, the On didn’t take effect.
Is it possible that the influence of the [On] on [Reality] has completely erased this woman’s ‘hostility’?
Could this woman sohow beco an ally?”
Under the Little Demon Eye’s observation, Han Dong saw that this woman had structures similar to that of an Octopus i.e., ‘Ink sac,’ ‘retracted tentacles,’ etc.
In addition to that, she also had so organs that Han Dong had never seen before and parts that couldn’t be completely seen through.
After a basic observation, Han Dong tried to strike up a conversation:
“Haven’t we t sowhere before?”
What he ant by ‘before’ was naturally in the parking lot behind the supermarket.
But who knows?
This Octopus Girl suddenly turned this head.
Without answering Han Dong’s question or making any redundant moves,
she suddenly leaned in ‘from the front’.
She put her moist, soft lips onto Han Dong’s lips.
Everyone on the bus was taken aback.
