Chapter 066 - Chiba Station 

Chapter 066 - Chiba Station 

Blue Hair was confused, unable to understand, completely unable to understand, until Lin Ye raised his hand and the piece of wrapping paper appeared in his line of sight. Only then did he realize what Lin Ye had used.

The candy the boy gave helped Lin Ye and Ren Nanase get through this crisis!

Regret immediately surfaced, but as soon as he thought about how dangerous the game with the little boy was, Blue Hair quickly put aside his feelings of regret.

Rather than playing games with the little boy to get candy, it was better to sacrifice a companion.

Now that Lin Ye and Ren Nanase had already "fed" the remaining two strange beings, he felt at ease.

It should be known that just as he chose to harm his companions to satisfy the hunger of the two strange beings, he was also worried that Lin Ye might use the same method on him.

Compared to the beautiful girl Ren Nanase, his position in Lin Ye's heart was extremely low.

If someone were to be sacrificed, it would definitely be him!

Ren Nanase witnessed the whole process, shivering with cold fear. She was not only scared by the brutal scene of the middle-aged man being eaten but was also terrified by the cold and cruelty of human nature.

If Lin Ye hadn't used the candy to satisfy the hunger and appetite of the two strange beings behind her, would she have been…?

Lin Ye pushed his phone in front of Ren Nanase.

She saw the text on the screen:

— "Only I can eat you."

Ren Nanase: ???

Had Lin Ye turned into a werewolf monster? Soon, she realized something, her face turning red, and she couldn't help but bash Lin Ye's left leg with her right hand in embarrassment.

What was he saying! It was so embarrassing.

In that moment, her fear and anxiety dissipated by more than half, and her spirit felt much better.

This man beside her wouldn't sacrifice her.

He couldn't bear to do it!

Hmph, men are all like that.

Lin Ye knew his goal had been achieved; the girl's mental state had improved a bit.

The crisis at the third station was over, and the next stop was Chiba Station, the human station where they could get off.

A light appeared in the direction the bus was heading.

Warm, comfortable, sunlight representing hope and light,

The sunlight, so comfortable,

It dispersed all the darkness.

Ren Nanase felt warm all over, and the gloomy fear in her heart disappeared completely, leaving only anticipation for getting off the bus.

She was going to have a good meal tonight, craving tonkotsu ramen, delicious wagyu BBQ, and many other tasty dishes, eating until she couldn't eat anymore.

At this moment,

She could hardly hide the excitement in her heart.

Blue Hair wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. It had been a tough journey, but he had finally made it this far. He could survive now.

"Attention passengers, the bus will be stopping soon. Please prepare to disembark."

The bus slowly decelerated,

Finally, it stopped at the station.

Click...

The front and rear doors opened.

Swish Blue Hair immediately stood up and quickly walked toward the exit door. His legs were weak, and he stumbled a few steps, almost falling, but he managed to steady himself by holding onto the handrail.

Lin Ye stood up and reached out to help Ren Nanase get up.

The nurse girl gently hummed to show her gratitude.

She decided to treat Lin Ye to a meal as a way to express her thanks, and she would talk about other matters during the meal.

"Big Brother, a great favor should not go unthanked. I, Miyazaki Akira, will repay you in the future,"

Blue Hair said in a low voice before getting off the bus.

He was getting off. He was going to embrace the warm sunlight.

Blue Hair stepped off the bus.

Lin Ye, holding Ren Nanase is hand, followed him. He instinctively glanced toward the bus entrance.

A man who had just boarded caught Lin Ye's eye.

Somewhat familiar, where had he seen him before?

"What's wrong?" Ren Nanase asked cautiously.

"Nothing..."

But the familiarity with the scene wouldn't go away. He must have seen this man somewhere before.

Time Stop activated.

Since he couldn't remember, he would take more time to recall.

When in the "strange game mission" phase, Lin Ye's attitude was to never rush and always take his time.

He walked directly to the man who had just boarded, carefully observing him, and finally, he remembered.

"It's him."

Hase Takayuki.

The only person who died directly at the scene of the Chiba Station fire accident, with one dead and three injured.

He had seen this man's photo in the accident-related documents at Chiba City Hospital.

Thinking of this, Lin Ye immediately cast his gaze outward, searching for his target. He saw the electronic clock hanging on the station wall.

[April 8, 2024, 14:15]

[Monday]

The afternoon of the day of the Chiba Station fire, the train he was on had been delayed for a full two hours.

"We left the hospital at night, but now it's afternoon,"

He almost overlooked this key hint.

This is not the correct station to get off.

They can't get off here.

Lin Ye immediately turned his head to look at the bus route map.

On the right side of Chiba Station, where there had been nothing but darkness, a new station appeared—Chiba City Hospital.

Lin Ye's eyes narrowed, and he immediately confirmed that this was the real stop to get off.

Now that he understood this, Lin Ye took Ren Nanase is hand again.

Time Stop ended.

Everything returned to normal.

But Blue Hair was beyond saving.

Lin Ye had tried to help him. Even though Blue Hair had sacrificed his teammate, Lin Ye still attempted to bring him back onto the bus. After all, whether there would still be danger on the road to the final station was an unknown, and they needed someone to test it.

But Blue Hair had already stepped halfway off the bus. Lin Ye was powerless to do anything.

"Take care of yourself."

Once Blue Hair stepped off the bus, he looked confused.

In his astonished gaze, he saw Lin Ye pulling the beautiful girl back to their seats.

At once, several doubts crossed his mind.

What was going on? Why did they go back? Didn't they plan to leave?

The next moment, Blue Hair, Miyazaki Akira, saw the four strange beings disembarking from the bus.

It was as if he understood something.

He had gotten off at the wrong stop.

"Let me back!"

Blue Hair tried to return but couldn't get any closer. He even ran toward the bus door, speeding up, only to realize that it was a door he would never reach.

Meanwhile, Ren Nanase, who had been forcibly pulled back to her seat by Lin Ye, was completely bewildered. She even struggled, attempting to break free.

Why were they sitting back down?

Hadn't they already reached Chiba Station? Shouldn't they get off now?

When the bus doors closed, Ren Nanase is face showed utter despair.

It was over. They couldn't go back. She was going to die here.
