Evolving infinitely from ground zero

The fox-eared girl appeared very suddenly.

When she appeared out of thin air in front of the vehicle, many people on the bus were startled for a moment, thinking their eyes were playing tricks on them.

"Instructor, there's someone ahead!"

Seeing that the speed of the vehicle had not slowed down at all, Shangguan Yueying, who was sitting behind the driver's seat, loudly reminded him.

However, Lu Tianrong not only did not brake, but instead accelerated and charged forward.

In these wild and desolate hills, a beast-eared girl suddenly appeared to block the road, which was clearly a sign of malevolence.

Stopping would simply be asking for trouble.

Perhaps even seeking death.

"Buzz——"

Accompanied by a prolonged whooshing sound.

The military bus carrying 21 people, moving at a speed of over 100 kilometers per hour, crashed directly towards the fox-eared girl blocking the way.

At that moment, everyone on the bus thought the fox-eared girl was going to be hit and sent flying.

Or that the fox-eared girl had an extremely strong body and would bring the massive military bus to a halt.

But the moment the bus hit the fox-eared girl, an extremely eerie scene occurred!

The sturdy military bus actually passed directly through the body of the fox-eared girl!

It passed through as smoothly as if it had passed through air!

Everyone on the bus was dumbfounded at first, unable to comprehend what they had just seen.

A moment later, as they came to their senses.

The crowd began to express their doubts one after another, discussing the matter amongst themselves.

"Was there not a fox-eared girl just now?"

"There was, I saw her too."

"The bus clearly hit her, so why didn't it hit that fox-eared girl?"

"An illusion?"

"If one person sees it, that might be an illusion, but just now we all saw her, it can't possibly be an illusion."

"Could it be a mirage?"

"But the conditions for a mirage aren't present here."

Everyone was puzzled and full of doubt regarding the mysterious scene they had just witnessed.

Lin Zichen remained silent, frowning slightly, his eyes constantly scanning the outside of the vehicle.

He opened all his senses to their maximum, trying to find any trace of the fox-eared girl.

The moment the fox-eared girl appeared, he had spread his spiritual power to sense her immediately, trying to glimpse her Biological Level.

To his surprise, he discovered that she bore no trace of biological pressure at all.

Not only that, she even lacked the breath of life, like an inanimate object.

This was too illogical.

Lin Zichen felt uneasy about this.

Shen Qinghan sitting nearby, felt equally uneasy.

She held Lin Zichen's hand and asked with a worried expression, "Xiao Chen, what just happened?"

Lin Zichen shook his head, "I'm not sure."

After speaking, he turned to ask Lu Tianrong, who was in the driver's seat, "Instructor Lu, do you know what just happened?"

Lu Tianrong, having a higher Biological Level and living longer, might be able to make some sense of it.

However, even Lu Tianrong was unclear about what had just happened.

Faced with Lin Zichen's puzzlement, he could only answer, "I'm not sure about the specifics of what just happened either, the only thing I can be sure of is that the moment the bus hit her, the moment I was closest to that fox-eared girl, I couldn't sense any sign of life from her at all."

Hearing Lu Tianrong say this, several people in the vehicle changed their expressions slightly.

Among them, Shangguan Yueying looked scared and said, "You guys don't think... it was that, do you?"

"What that?"

"She means to say that the fox-eared girl we just saw might be a ghost," Ma Xiwei said calmly.

In this supernatural world, even though there are Exotic Beasts, Genetic Integrators, Mechanically Modified Humans, and the like, the concept of ghosts still exists in many people's hearts.

Many people, upon hearing about ghosts, instinctively feel scared.

Even if they themselves are powerful Genetic Integrators or powerful Mechanically Modified Humans, they are still afraid.

This is because so many stories about ghosts are so horrifying that they are frightening to hear.

Only those who frequently watch horror movies or those who have seen a lot of bloodshed are likely to be completely unafraid.

"You must be joking, in this day and age, we even have mechs, and you're still talking about ghosts."

Zhang Kai said with a look of disdain, "Your supposed intellectuals from the university don't even have the social awareness of someone like me who didn't even finish high school."

Shangguan Yueying frowned and said, "Just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. There are many things in this world that science cannot explain. It's better to believe it and not need it than to need it and not believe it."

Zhang Kai was speechless, "Your university education must have been secured through connections and back doors."

"You...!"

Shangguan Yueying was so angered her chest heaved with frustration.

Lin Zichen listened to their argument and noticed that Zhang Kai had changed a lot, no longer acting like a sycophantic follower.

Back in junior high, Zhang Kai had been very eager in his courtship of the school belle.

Now there was no trace of that sycophantic demeanor.

Most likely, having become a Mechanically Modified Human, his social status had risen along with his tides, with plenty of women throwing themselves at him. The ones who fawned over him now licked his boots, turning him into the master instead of the follower.

After pondering over these matters for a while.

Lin Zichen quickly brought his thoughts back to the present and continued to scan the surroundings outside the vehicle.

The rest of the people on the bus did the same, uneasily scanning the outside for any sign of the fox-eared girl.

Except for Zhang Kai and Shangguan Yueying.

The two were thoroughly embroiled in an argument.

They clung to the topic of whether ghosts existed, constantly disputing, each trying to convince the other.

They had completely cast aside the incident of the sudden appearance of the fox-eared girl.

After all, the fox-eared girl had appeared for only a brief instant before disappearing.

After a while, the event didn't seem as significant.

During this time, Zhang Kai and Shangguan Yueying pulled in several others to take a stand on whether ghosts existed.

The vast majority believed they did not.

A few remained neutral.
