Chapter 6 Nightmare

  The prince returned to his seat, looking somewhat "exhausted", but at this moment his eyes were exceptionally bright, because he now had to muster up all his energy and spirit to scrutinize every unusual detail in the car, no matter how small it was, even a fly could trigger his tense nerves. His life was his own, not to mention that he also bore the responsibility of protecting Tian Mi, who sat beside him like a delicate flower.

  Tian Mi, who was standing beside him, saw Wang Zhu's serious and tense expression and couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Hey, idiot! Scared of ghosts? What's with the secrecy?"

  For Tian Mi, the supernatural was nothing to be concerned about, after all, she was a high-achieving student who had received higher education, and regarded ghost stories as mere tales, otherwise, how would she have dared to follow a group of people to the village to debunk the rumor of a zombie murderer.

  Wang Chu also understood this, so he just glanced at her and handed the phone to Tian Mi, pointing to the picture on the screen, indicating for her to take a look.

  Tian Mi's face was bewildered as she took the phone, and almost at the same moment, with a "bang" sound, the originally broken phone heavily smashed to the ground. Her originally tender and pretty face suddenly turned deathly pale, and it was almost impossible to see any hint of blood color.

  Wang Chu was startled by Tian Mi's transformation and shivered, thinking to himself that a woman's photo could be so frightening. He gently approached Tian Mi and softly asked: "What's wrong?"

  "What's wrong with you, showing me a picture of a terrified woman with a gruesome smile and blood at the corner of her eyes! Don't you know that girl is timid?" Tian Mi seemed to have regained her composure, her pretty face flushed with anger.

  She recovered so quickly because she had seen similar dynamic photos on the internet before, and the most frightening one was the maze's photo. That night, Tian Mi was concentrating on finding the exit of the maze, just when she found the exit with her cleverness and felt joyful, a terrifying ghost face suddenly popped out from the picture, scaring her to tears, wailing loudly, and all the subconscious mind had mental preparation.

  "A terrifying photo?" Wang Chu's face showed surprise, staring at Tian Mi in shock. The picture he was showing her was clearly just a woman wearing a floral cheongsam dress, so how did it become a terrifying photo? Was it...?

  Wang Chu's thoughts drifted back and he felt a chill run down his spine, with beads of cold sweat trickling from the corners of his eyes to the bridge of his nose. He really couldn't understand why this woman was clinging to him like that.

  "What's wrong with you? Are you sick?" As a doctor, his insight is unquestionable. It seems too forced to be sweating in such cool weather.

  "All I showed you was a photo of a woman, a beautiful woman wearing a cheongsam, not even a dynamic photo!" Wang Chu looked at Tian Mi's completely unsuspecting and adorable expression, unable to help but laugh and cry. After a pause, he continued without caring whether Tian Mi believed him or not: "Just now, the driver was talking to this woman!"

  Tian Mi's face showed an unbelievable expression, her eyes wide with wonder, and she looked extremely comical. She couldn't believe that what she saw and heard on the bus was real, all of this had completely overturned her scientific views. It was just like a leopard not believing that a lion would climb up a tree to snatch its food, but the lion did indeed climb up.

  The king's store now increasingly feels that the bus traveling on the mountain slope is like a giant boulder on the cliff, in danger of falling. If this woman is targeting him alone, then if something happens to the car, wouldn't it also harm others?

  The prince thought it would be more appropriate and safer to get off the bus and walk, and there wasn't much distance left anyway, so walking would only take half an hour.

  "Master, stop the car, we're getting off." Wang Chu pulled Tian Mi to the front of the car door.

  At this moment, the car suddenly shook violently and then swung left and right along the direction of travel. The people in the car began to get angry and scolded the driver one after another.

  At this moment, the driver's face was filled with pain and his expression was shocked! If you observe carefully, his left hand is desperately controlling the steering wheel to keep the car stable, but his right hand seems to be doing the opposite action of his left hand. There were several times when the car was about to rush out of the road, but it was pulled back by the driver's left hand.

  Tian Mi clung tightly to Wang Zhu's arm, like a frightened bird. At first glance, the two seemed to be a loving couple, but Wang Zhu had no time to enjoy this.

  The sharp-eyed prince discovered the driver's abnormality and shouted loudly: "Quickly, quickly help pull open the driver's right hand!!"

  Only two young and robust passengers were seen rushing towards the driver like a storm.

  It seemed like everything was too late, the bus had rapidly sped down the steep slope, accompanied by a cacophony of desperate screams.

  The car stabilized, Wang Chu saw himself lying in a pool of blood, while Tian Mi was quietly lying in his arms with her head cracked and bleeding. None of the passengers in the car were spared.

  Grief and hatred filled the crown prince's head, almost suffocating him.

  Wang Chu suddenly opened his eyes, with beads of sweat the size of beans hanging from his forehead. He looked around and everything was as it was before, only to find that it was just a nightmare.

  "Wang Cun, how are you ill again? Just now you were shaking non-stop, your whole body was icy cold, and I couldn't wake you up no matter how loudly I called! I think you need to receive further treatment!" Tian Mi said worriedly, her expression extremely serious, and from her eyes, one could seemingly see the great maternal love that women are born with.

  Wang Chu took the scented tissue from Tian Mi's hand and wiped away the sweat on his forehead. Just as he was about to throw it away, he noticed that there were already half a bag of wet tissues at his feet. A warm feeling suddenly rose up from the bottom of his heart.

  "What time is it now?" Wang Chu asked.

  "6:15, the car had only been driving for 15 minutes, you fell asleep as soon as it started, and got sick within two minutes, everyone in the car was worried about you!" Tian Mi handed over a tissue.

  "Yes, young man, when you're sick, you must seize the opportunity to get treatment, don't delay it. Your girlfriend is really nice to you, and she's so beautiful!" An old lady next to him chimed in.

  Tian Mi's face turned bright red in an instant, looking even more lovely and charming.

  "Grandma, we... actually we are..."

  Tian Mi's words were cut off halfway by Wang Zhuo's arm.

  No need to say more, Tian Mi completely understood Wang Cang's meaning, pouting her mouth and thinking "A self-conceited guy who takes advantage of me, forget it, I'll just tolerate it for now."

  The crown prince's next words enraged Tian Mi.

  "We are actually a couple, haha!" Wang Chu smiled foolishly at his mother-in-law.

  As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Chu felt a sharp pain in his lower back, which made him suddenly understand what was meant by the "deadly charm" of beautiful women.

  "Hehe! Husband and wife! Husband and wife!" Tian Mi also smiled foolishly at the old lady beside her, with a hint of pride mixed in her laughter, but only Wang Cang could understand.

  ……

  In the scorching summer, trees are lush and dense, with thick reeds surrounding the clear river pond. The continuous and pleasant croaking of frogs comes from the river pond, while the nearby small forest occasionally transmits crisp bird sounds. The two blend into a beautiful symphony, making people feel relaxed and happy.

  The soft pink sunset shines on the mountain valley, making the entire valley full of picturesque scenery and covered with a fairy-tale-like color.

  But the prince had no time to appreciate such a beautiful view, and instead became tense and anxious. He was now racing against time, and as the sky grew darker, his heart grew more apprehensive. He had no idea what terrible things might happen tonight.

  Look at Tian Mi's carefree appearance, picking up her phone and taking selfies left and right, entertaining herself: "Hey, why are you walking so fast? I can't keep up with you!"

  "Stop taking pictures and let's go!" Wang Chu turned around and strode towards Tian Mi, snatching the phone from her hand.

  Tian Mi saw Wang Chu snatch her mobile phone and reached out to grab it back, but Wang Chu's arm flashed and she fell empty-handed.

  "Give me back my phone!" Tian Mi pouted and said.

  Wang Zhuo ignored him and continued walking, revealing a dejected expression that made Wang Zhuo's heart ache.

  "Look at your miserable face, here you go!" Wang Chu handed over his phone.

  It seems that Tian Mi heard the phrase "like a mourning family" and came to life, wrapping around Wang Cang and saying: "You are like a mourning family, your whole family is like a mourning family, country bumpkin, uncultured and really scary!"

  Tian Mi suddenly came up with this one, almost turning Wang Cang back into his original form, and stood there in a daze.

  "It's like losing a parent, it's an expression of grief, can't you just use it properly!" Tian Mi emphasized.

  Wang Chu hastily nodded "oh, oh, oh" with a look of being taught, which made Tian Mi secretly laugh at him as a "fool".

  ……

  The sky changed rapidly in the late afternoon. It was daylight just now, but it has become dark and the visibility is only over ten meters. Fortunately, the two of them have already left the valley.

  "Wang Cun, look quickly! There's a firelight!" Tian Mi pointed ahead and said.

  Wang Chu looked at the distant firelight and thought to himself, "It shouldn't be that the village is burning wheat straw, right? It's unlikely, as it's not safe to burn straw at night, and besides, the firelight from burning straw would be much brighter than this. Moreover, with the current national policy, returning wheat straw to the fields can get a subsidy of over 10 yuan per mu, so burning it would be a waste."

  "Go, take a look!" Wang Zhuo grabbed Tian Mi's hand and quickly walked towards the direction of the firelight. Tian Mi seemed to have gotten used to being led by Wang Zhuo this way many times before, perhaps it was also a way to cultivate feelings.

  "Hey, Sister Ke'er, that's Wang Ke, you've seen him before!" Tian Mi seemed a bit excited when she saw Wang Ke's figure by the bonfire. She continued, "Wow, I didn't expect to find them as soon as we entered the village!"

  "Yes, the devils have entered the village." Wang Chuu said with a sneer.

  Tian Mi gave Wang Cun a glance and said: "You're the one who let the devils into the village, your whole family is like that, humph!" Then she walked away with her head held high.

  The prince hurried over and said: "Hey, I say beauty, why did so many of you come to this poor and remote place?"

  "You say you're a donkey head, do you admit it? Your village, apart from the zombie incident that attracts people, what else is there?" Tian Mi looked up and said, perhaps in today's society, for the vast majority of women, the only thing that is not equal to men is that women have to look up at men when talking.

  The prince shook his head and said, "Are you here to experience zombie life?"

  "Boring, we're here to debunk your zombie rumors, debunk you this murderer!" Tian Mi said with a flourish.

  The prince showed a disdainful expression and muttered: "You're talking big, really impressive!?"

  However, at this time Wang Cang did not notice that there was an unusual figure among the group of people with Wang Ke.
