The Only Player in 'Child of Stardust'-Chapter 53 - 45 Station
Chapter 53: Chapter 45 Station
Chapter 53 -45 Station
The exterior of the 106 bus was the most common model of new energy buses today, featuring a simple and elegant design full of modernity and technology. It was very clean both inside and out but did not have a license plate.
The interior was brightly lit, revealing a few figures seated inside, and the driver was a man with a wooden expression.

[A bus that shuttled between reality, the Spirit World, and abnormal areas. It could take you to many unknown places, but before you figured out the good and bad of those places, it was best not to get off.
By the way, the bus ride was free of charge.]
A bus that shuttled between reality, the Spirit World, and abnormal areas?
Zhou Yuan frowned. He initially thought that the 106 bus was just some kind of supernatural anomaly, but now it seemed to be more than that.
He couldn’t help but hesitate. He wasn’t sure where the bus would end up after ten stops. What if it went to some unknown abnormal area? Should he get off or not?
As Zhou Yuan hesitated, the 106 bus slowly decelerated, stopped at a station, and the front and rear doors smoothly opened.
From the rear door, a figure in a gray robe got off. The slightly worn robe was extremely large, covering the entire body and hiding the face in shadow.
With his Dark Vision, Zhou Yuan saw the person’s face clearly. It was an unremarkable face, but the eyes revealed a kind of pathological madness and violence, like a bloodthirsty beast.
[Another member of the Land of Truth. He was a guy with a wild beast’s heart; killing was his only interest. This time he came to Xinhu for a secret mission.]
Land of Truth!
Zhou Yuan was shocked. He didn’t expect someone from the Land of Truth to get off the bus.
“So, the Land of Truth has discovered the peculiarities of the 106 bus and has started using it as a vehicle. What about the Control Bureau? Have they discovered this anomaly?
And this secret mission… it shouldn’t be related to the Player System. What is the Land of Truth up to this time?”
Zhou Yuan was no longer a complete novice to the Extraordinary World. He knew very well how insane the Land of Truth could be—they were a true scourge of the world.
New Sydney Opera House Satellite Crash, Eternal Sleep Dead City, Bavo Port Massacre, Galilin Tower Slaughter… Thousands had died in terrorist attacks initiated by the Land of Truth. Wherever they appeared, death and disaster followed.
And now, it seemed they wanted to start a new secret operation in Xinhu.
He needed to find a chance to report him… Zhou Yuan thought to himself discreetly. Xinhu City was his home; if the Land of Truth caused trouble and blew up his million-dollar house, that would be bad.
After the gray-robed person got off, they glanced at Zhou Yuan indifferently, didn’t linger, and turned to leave.
Zhou Yuan wanted to mark them with a [Position Tracker] while they weren’t paying attention, but before he could take out the device, the gray-robed person’s figure disappeared.
Gone… Zhou Yuan paused, then shifted his gaze to the bus.
Behind the protective barrier of the driver’s cabin, the driver was staring at him expressionlessly, seemingly asking if he intended to board.
[The driver of the 106 bus was a disciple of some great being, sent to drive the bus.]
Oh? A great being? This makes it seem like the 106 bus wasn’t a natural anomaly… Zhou Yuan pondered for a bit and decided to board the bus.
With a swoosh, the doors closed. As the driver hit the gas, the bus shot forward as if propelled by a catapult.
Zhou Yuan took the opportunity to observe the four passengers inside, and his breath caught.
There wasn’t a single human among them!
The nearest to him was a fish-man, its body a dull greenish-gray. Its head was a large fish head with gills on its neck and bulging eyes that never closed.
It wasn’t wearing any clothes; most of its body was slick and shiny, with a scaled high ridge on its back, and it emitted a strong, moist fishy smell.
[A Deep Diver, a very salty salted fish. Its destination was “Happy Paradise.”]
Zhou Yuan was stunned. How the hell did a Deep Diver come out? How many anomalies were there that he didn’t know about? Could there really be ancient rulers, outer gods?
Next was a goblin sitting on the other side.
[Good-looking people were called warm men, ugly ones were called boiling hot goblins. This goblin was considered handsome in its tribe, but still not one ten-thousandth as handsome as you, so it was a bit jealous of your looks.
Its destination was also “Happy Paradise.”]
The other two passengers were sitting in the back seats.
One was a black mountain goat, and the other was a blond pretty boy.
[It was a rare sight to see angels and demons together. As oddballs of their respective factions, they surprisingly got along well and became close friends.
By the way, they belonged to the Control Bureau and were senior employees. They were currently enjoying a rare vacation, and their destination was also “Happy Paradise.”]
Angels and demons…
Zhou Yuan had read about anomalous creatures in the anomaly records.
[Anomaly 666, Playboy Angel] and [Anomaly 667, Mountain Goat Demon.]
It was true; they were oddballs in their respective factions.
As a demon, the Mountain Goat Demon had a heart purer and kinder than an angel’s. It never thought of causing destruction or doing bad things but often performed good deeds.
Many years ago, in Europe, a little girl’s mother fell ill with a strange disease. The doctors said she wouldn’t survive more than seven days. In their grief, the little girl somehow found a black magic book and wanted to perform a demon-summoning ritual to make a deal with the demon to trade for her mother’s health.
