Trembling At A High Altitude

"This stool is my lucky star, it killed a scumbag for me, and later it will help me kill another bitch," Li Teng answered the girl.

"Who are you cursing?" Guo's mother burst out angrily.

"Did he mention you? Did you identify with that yourself? Are you admitting you're a bitch?" Gao Fei retorted on Li Teng's behalf.

"Kid, he's definitely dying tonight, and you're still so stubbornly siding with him. You'll have tough days ahead!" Pretty Boy threatened Gao Fei a few times.

"You androgynous freak really disgust me! Get lost!" Gao Fei knew he had already offended Guo's mother and Pretty Boy beyond redemption, so he decided to stand his ground to the end.

Pretty Boy chuckled sinisterly a few times but didn't say anything more.

The bus started.

With the dim street lights alongside, looking out the bus window revealed an increasingly desolate and decrepit landscape.

In the dilapidated buildings on both sides of the street, it seemed that some dark shadows flickered faintly.

There were also faintly audible various strange sounds.

Although everyone knew this place was the Film and Television City and that these scenes were constructed for performances, those on the bus still felt a terrifying sensation.

It was as if they had arrived in a ghost town.

After the bus started accelerating, no one spoke again.

Called out here in the middle of the night and having been tossed around for half an hour, all the actors were somewhat tired now.

Especially Li Teng, he sat in his seat, one hand clasping his High Stool, but his head rested on the back of the chair as if he were asleep.

Had he completely given up?

Seeing Li Teng like this, Gao Fei felt somewhat sad.

For Li Teng, what good would not giving up do?

After all, Gao Fei couldn't think of any way to resolve all this. If it were him, he would undoubtedly die tonight.

Even if Li Teng was smarter, he couldn't possibly defeat an Evil Ghost with a mortal body!

Though Li Teng's eyes were closed and he leaned on the back of the chair as if sleeping, Guo's mother, however, was wide-eyed, not daring to relax for a moment.

She knew Li Teng was exceptionally cunning, so she had to constantly watch his every move, every detail, analyzing Li Teng's countermeasures relentlessly.

She couldn't afford to be like her son, Guo Zhipeng, who had carelessly lost his life due to oversight. She had to consider every possibility and nip that possibility in the bud.

A quarter of an hour later.

The bus gradually slowed down.

The voice of the director came through everyone's earpieces, indicating the first stop had arrived.

The passengers were all somewhat dazed, but upon hearing the director's voice, they all snapped back to alertness in an instant.

They looked at Li Teng and then at Guo's mother simultaneously.

This was their stop to get off.

Guo's mother was extremely nervous at this moment; she worried that Li Teng and Gao Fei had secretly swapped their draw under the table, and that Li Teng was actually supposed to get off at the third stop. If that were the case, after getting off, she would need to use points to exchange for a speed type ghost ability to ensure she could be at the third stop before Li Teng.

The bus slowed even more, about to pull over.

"Hahaha..." Li Teng suddenly burst into laughter.

Everyone turned their attention to Li Teng.

Guo's mother looked extremely tense.

Was there another trick up his sleeve?

"Congratulations, you've been fooled again! Actually, I drew the third stop, and we switched our draw under the table," Li Teng looked at Guo's mother.

"Really?" Guo's mother was shocked.

"I even asked you if you were sure you wanted to get off at the first station, warned you not to regret it later, but you didn't believe me, and now it's too late to regret it! You can't catch me!" Li Teng spread his hands.

"Hmph! Even if you got off at the third station, what then? You still wouldn't escape my grasp!" Guo's mother quickly regained her composure. By now, she despised Li Teng so much that she wished she could eliminate him immediately.

This man, no matter what he did or said, always made her heart skip a beat, worrying whether he had set a trap or if something unexpected would happen.

Continuing this game with him was almost too much for her heart to handle.

So, no matter what, she was determined to kill him tonight! Even if it meant using up all her points, it would be worth it!

Hearing the words Li Teng had just said to Guo's mother, Gao Fei was somewhat surprised.

He hadn't switched sticks with Li Teng! What did Li Teng mean by that?

Was he suggesting Gao Fei get off at this station instead of him? Was he trying to throw Guo's mother off her game?

The director wouldn't agree, would he?

Getting off with Guo's mother, that evil ghost, did indeed scare Gao Fei.

But since Li Teng had asked, he should help him out as a way to repay him for saving his life in the first round; otherwise, his conscience wouldn't let him rest.

If he died, at worst he would end up as a wax figure alongside his girlfriend.

Anyway, Gao Fei believed that with his intelligence, he probably wouldn't survive many more rounds, nor did he harbor any hope of accumulating enough points to return to the surface or save his girlfriend.

"Haha, I'm the one getting off at the first station, old ghost, come down and play with me!" Gao Fei stood up bravely.

"Hmph! I'm not interested in you for now! I'll chase him down at the third station and kill him, then I'll take my time with you later!" Guo's mother stood up as well, glaring fiercely at Gao Fei.

The bus also, at this moment, slowly stopped at the bus station platform.

The platform below was even more dilapidated, deserted.

The station's advertisement light box was still on.

The light box featured a movie poster for "Death Crew," the film their crew was shooting.

On it was a ghost, reaching out with sharp claws towards a person who was running away.

"I was just messing with her, sit back down, be careful or the director might penalize you." Li Teng pushed Gao Fei back into his seat, rushed to the door, and got off the bus with his high stool.

"Run fast!" Gao Fei shouted to Li Teng, who had just got off the bus, then tried to reach out his hand to stop Guo's mother, who was also about to get off.

But the moment Gao Fei actually stretched out his hand, he immediately heard a warning from the director in his ear, telling him not to interfere with the plot or he would be deducted 1000 points and eliminated!

Gao Fei could only retract his hand.

Guo's mother, caught off guard, realized Li Teng had already slipped off the bus, knew she had been tricked by Li Teng once more, and hurriedly rushed to the door.

In the moment she was getting off, Guo's mother hesitated slightly...

Hesitated whether or not to take the high stool down with her.

If she didn't take the high stool, would she be at a disadvantage?

At a disadvantage my ass! Once she got off, she would have the ghost's killing abilities, why would she care about something as mundane as a high stool?

In an instant, Guo's mother seemed to understand, Li Teng probably wanted to divert her attention, delay her, so that she wouldn't catch up with him after getting off the bus, right?

She couldn't fall for his tricks.

Hurry off the bus, break the seal on the ghost, and immediately catch him, torture him, kill him!

She absolutely couldn't let him escape!

But, Li Teng's actions after getting off the bus once again surprised everyone.

He didn't run, but instead placed the high stool inside the station, propped himself up, and sat on it.

Once seated, he even smiled and waved at Gao Fei and the others through the bus window.

"Not running? Then prepare to die!" A sinister smile crept across Guo's mother's lips.
