The Disappearing Bus Stop

"I'm out and about in the middle of the night by myself. I have to bring something to protect myself in case of danger, right?" Chen Ge gave his explanation.

"You have a point there." After a brief moment of hesitation, the doctor asked, "The members of the society that you mentioned earlier, are they all like you?"

"Compared to them, I'm the more rational one."

"You're the more rational one?" The doctor coughed. His body was failing him.

"Yes, call me if you have the time. We can sit down and discuss this slowly." Chen Ge felt like he had good rapport with this good doctor, and the feeling seemed mutual. The bus moved in the rain. It soon arrived at the next station. Chen Ge stood up to glance out the window and did not see the woman in red raincoat.
