Chapter 331 - 321: I’m in a Hurry
Then, his entire body was engulfed in flames and vanished on the spot.
After finishing, Hu Qi walked into the aisle, his expression unchanged.
Perhaps triggered by his movement, all the scarecrows sitting in the other seats turned to look at him, then rose to their feet in unison.
But before they could make a move, several Hangman’s Ropes suddenly dropped from the ceiling, tightening directly around the scarecrows’ necks.
The moment they were bound by the Hangman’s Ropes, the scarecrows froze. The straw and flesh of their limbs rapidly withered away, finally crumbling into piles of Ashes.
Modification Point +1
Modification Point +1
Modification Point +1
...
Hu Qi watched the Crimson text materialize before him.
He was slightly surprised; he hadn’t expected the scarecrows to provide Modification Points.
Previously, only devouring a Dream Eye yielded them.
These scarecrows clearly didn’t have a Dream Eye.
Otherwise, the reward wouldn’t have been so small.
Still, even though the five scarecrows only added up to five points, every little bit helps.
Hu Qi didn’t mind.
’This situation is probably related to the Blood Word Script.’
These thoughts flashed through his mind.
Without looking back, Hu Qi walked toward the driver’s seat at the front of the bus.
By now, the mark of the Blood Word Script on him had completely stabilized.
This meant that no matter what he did, it would not affect his fate of becoming an actor in the script.
Since that was the case, he wasn’t planning on just sitting in his seat and waiting any longer.
"A Dream Master?"
Yang Hu, in a rear seat, looked astonished.
He was no stranger to Dream Masters, as he himself was a Dream Master who wielded a Dream Eye.
His incessant coughing was caused by this very Dream Eye.
At this thought, he hurriedly spoke up.
"Friend, you should go back to your seat. Don’t disturb the driver.
This mission is to ride the Deceitful Bus; that’s the main storyline. Normally, the ’driver’ is on a completely different level of power than the ’passengers’..."
However, before he could finish, Hu Qi had already reached the front of the bus and tapped lightly on the glass door to the driver’s compartment.
In contrast to the brightly lit bus cabin, the driver’s compartment was exceptionally dark; only a humanoid silhouette was vaguely visible inside.
Hearing the sound, the figure turned its head to look at Hu Qi, its pale face devoid of any expression.
"Driver, can you go faster? I’m in a hurry."
After he spoke, the middle-aged driver sat there in silence.
In an instant, the temperature in the cabin plummeted, the paint on the walls began to peel, and the lights flickered erratically.
The sudden change made everyone on the bus fall deathly silent.
Having been through this before, Guo Wei shrank further into her seat. She was terrified that Hu Qi, like the person before him, would start cursing and instantly explode, splattering her with blood and flesh.
But the gory scene she imagined never came. Instead, the bus jolted violently.
It was followed by a loud CRASH as glass shattered.
Looking toward the sound, they saw Hu Qi shatter the glass of the driver’s compartment with a single punch. He then dragged out a life-sized, uncannily realistic, grayish-white paper man.
The paper man had lost its earlier composure. It thrashed violently, trying to break free.
Hu Qi gave it no chance. Crimson flames erupted from his palm, instantly incinerating it into Ashes.
At the same time.
The Mutation in the cabin also returned to normal.
Modification Point +10
A line of text appeared before his eyes.
Apparently, Yang Hu had been right.
This driver was a bit stronger than the headless scarecrows from before.
But in Hu Qi’s eyes, it made no difference.
He finished off the driver.
Ignoring the stunned passengers, he walked directly into the driver’s compartment and took a seat.
With the driver gone, the bus began to slow down.
Although the buses in this world were different from those on Earth Star, the difference wasn’t huge.
A quick glance was all it took for him to roughly understand the controls.
He slammed his foot down on the gas pedal.
However, the bus remained unresponsive, its speed unchanged.
Hu Qi thought for a moment and understood why.
He raised his hand, and a thick stream of the Power of Nightmare flowed from his palm into the steering wheel.
Then he slammed on the gas pedal again.
The next second.
The needle on the dashboard suddenly flipped a hundred and eighty degrees.
With a hum, the body of the bus trembled slightly.
The bus, which had been gradually slowing, suddenly lurched from a crawl to a sprint, rocketing forward like an unbridled horse.
The immense inertia almost sent the few passengers in the back flying out of their seats.
The scenery outside the windows became a blur.
But despite the situation.
No one dared to say a word.
Yang Hu was no exception.
’This man easily took care of the driver,’ he thought. ’He’s clearly much stronger than I am.’
Hu Qi paid no mind to the others’ reactions.
At this speed.
It wasn’t long before.
Several figures appeared on the side of the road ahead.
They were dressed in white mourning clothes, and beside them appeared to be a coffin.
Upon seeing this.
Hu Qi showed no intention of stopping.
He jerked the steering wheel.
He channeled even more Nightmare Power from his body and injected it into the vehicle.
The next second, the bus’s already breakneck speed didn’t just hold steady—it increased, and he charged straight past.
