In the darkness where no 441227931c path could be seen, when 2cbb970f0f they were exhausted from staring 34601bf63f into the pitch-black void with 390b20b094 nothing visible, someone let out 0bf9334d7e an exclamation.1521241b8a5d2850

As Lee Byung-soo gazed out fcc975cbe2 the window, his eyes caught 06ed732a85 a green light flickering and 43f153a876 swaying on the road, where e4965a6bc1 not even an inch ahead 43bc72d885 could be seen in the d46ea66046 enveloping darkness. Thinking he might 5c891c8aab have seen it 8bd69776d1 wrong, he rubbed a37be4a95d his eyes and 4eca7096f7 focused on the 39c13267f2 road again. Jumping up from his 7396f5dad0 seat, he shouted excitedly.92ece5daab700d02

“Yoo, Yoon-gun hyung, look outside!”2b50079bbb6abf1b

At Lee Byung-soo’s enthusiastic 4dbc9b499a shout, not only Kim 7f7bb6b6e1 Yoon-gun but others also 917de725b6 turned to look out 9e02826964 the window. What could there be 82270d5873 to see in this 48bcf67420 darkness where nothing was d08bd0f1e9 visible? Their skepticism vanished the ec13006734 moment they looked outside. Through the bus windows, 24ecf8284f everyone’s eyes caught sight ad7034a9e4 of green lights moving 3c43561820 sporadically across the road.ee1a50b586c2da1b

At Choi Eun-seok’s claim e2ceb83f7f that a rescue team fb03e05fde had arrived, Lee Byung-soo’s 2d68db129b face lit up as 6e0520469d he echoed the question.e40dff513a8e200e

Before Lee Byung-soo could e76e43547d finish, Park Sung-il sprang 19e80a4751 up, banging on the e122609da6 window and shouting like 985393e3a1 a madman. Following his lead, most of 67d5e27394 the group crowded toward the 13e318f08c windows, pounding on the glass 93a0347868 and yelling.3e67bf5ee8b9fb76

But no matter 76bba31461 how much they f775594083 shouted or banged 620b41387b on the windows, 1191027423 the green lights 979666c61c that had appeared a32d9b515d in clusters on 8d7fb432b1 the road merely 7318fb07c2 flickered and wandered 737524d189 leisurely, showing no 8f67b54fb9 interest in them.0d6647b11daf6b10

“Can’t they hear us?”04befac1d38f3282

A panicked voice rang out, cbfe4917b4 and the commotion quieted. As everyone stood helplessly 2ab693e8d3 by the windows, a a80abead25 beam of light stretched 289c6332b6 out onto the road 11e30bac1a from outside. All eyes turned to the e4c42bb38e light streaming from the bus, 14f33f0154 revealing An Chi-seung standing by 30481e9f75 the window, shining his phone’s e94cf073aa flashlight onto the road.3bf304ef84e31845

Inspired by his 523d04d6b7 action, others hurriedly 8ba2694d70 pulled out their 8db3f0fb93 phones. Beams of light burst from b4203ceedb the old bus, scattering across 5cb65f20db the dark road. The green lights, which 94598cbabb had been swaying, froze 35cdfd89af simultaneously under the scattered f6fc73da93 beams. Then, as if in 522963571e unison, they began moving a645b94a1d quickly toward the bus.e7a89501fc73d784

The unnatural movement f6c4565525 silenced the commotion, 27951e1de3 and more eyes 5ff9151500 quietly followed the b32edf2255 green lights’ approach. Even so, the bc2dc75625 phones in their e795a612ba hands continued to 0bea500a3f emit light. The green lights, flickering d75768dbfc as if reacting to 169a997843 the beams, drew closer c50d980de3 and closer to the 12ea2257ad bus.0a377eeb4b983204

“Hic—!”516a9cd62c802727

Someone let out a sharp d773b97da7 gasp and pulled away from 74a9afbf27 the window. No one questioned the 2e3908b0a2 action, as they all b82feccc35 reacted similarly or even 4b3df10d66 more intensely, retreating from c24ed2d97a the windows. The green lights, 2096c71a14 drawn by the 7ce967a726 flashlight beams, were b0ec724cfe now close enough 2b89782bcf to be seen 55ebd71072 clearly with the 2587585002 naked eye. What they saw wasn’t human 5e4ef323e2 or animal. With faintly glowing green cf4b5b9b90 skin, a hunched back 746527e0fa rising higher than its bb4543a0a6 head, a bloated abdomen 9bb167610d protruding roundly, and abnormally b4d6d42051 large hands dragging long b01b432c7a arms that reached the 21d77ec9d4 ground, it was unlike a879e05dd9 anything they knew.aba2fc288bbdb196

“Arghhh—!”cec05efd0bf9c18f

A scream triggered chaos 6660057552 inside the bus. As people frantically waved 164b8222cb their phones, beams of 45e05e9a3b light danced wildly around 50a4c48d77 the bus, and screams 27fe3e5aae and struggles overwhelmed their 07493ef882 senses, drowning out a 69fc33d026 voice that desperately needed cf2ed128d5 to be heard.4c08e9afa549d5b1

“Turn them off! Turn off your phones!”99587e40ea1c3615

Jung Woo-sung’s frantic shout went 872998f524 unheard. Pushed to the 9796a4f9c8 edge of his 27041acce0 patience amidst the a896e1746b chaos, he snatched 060fb7a31d a phone from fe493ada40 someone within reach.4d1e151dcb6c90ef

Baek Il-hoo’s body reacted 7a77fd955a before his mind could 6dc5638db0 process. As soon as Jung aac6f51447 Woo-sung finished, Baek Il-hoo 6fbad016fd roughly pushed his hand 1ddf74556b away and dove into 102fd5c803 the chaotic crowd. Two voices shouting together rose 3f14a79faa above the noise. A few people 21d5edc1c4 began to hear f8fb575126 Baek Il-hoo and a648853229 Jung Woo-sung, hurriedly 3804add24d turning off their 120a339184 phones.951545059c6fee9e

But only a few 681aefe66b complied, and the rest, d5bc332487 still screaming and flailing, 240a2ba299 held phones with lights 8cfbcf38c9 still on. Amid the chaos, Lee Hyun, 626de9430f who had joined Baek Il-hoo e37d4faacc in shouting to turn off 98b94da8e9 the phones, was pushed toward c8b9755431 the seats by the frantic c1082278d0 crowd. Baek Shin-hoo, standing in 7798e21d6b the aisle, saw Lee dbb855f1da Hyun stumble over a 8fd7c71c04 chair and reached out 871dbda107 to help but froze 0f22240299 upon looking outside, his c92e54341b face paling as he dfc5a2f974 lunged toward Lee Hyun.373af18f9289931d

At Baek Shin-hoo’s 13b2fee376 urgent shout, Lee da8c28d9fb Hyun looked up e83230f820 at him. A forceful grip seized 2bdb87cd45 his arm, pulling him f1a1013624 with tremendous strength. Before he could df49203102 scream, Lee Hyun’s 9f7a7bd94c face slammed into 13f09920ba Baek Shin-hoo’s chest a405f695e5 as a loud 4fbfeec353 crash shattered the 87a078ea23 window behind him.7a960e281d55600e

Panicking, Lee Hyun tried e704d36635 to dodge the massive 12770ff6b5 hand swinging in the 9afb22e2b6 air and move toward cd29cdb94c the aisle, but Baek a39ee4444c Shin-hoo quickly cleared a c798d75abb path, pulling him away f7011f5a35 from the window. The sudden attack amplified 44c4567f2c the chaos, and everyone 96421a5734 instinctively fled to the 0462ae6cf1 opposite side of the 8edee579e8 bus. But another loud 4ad99acca1 crash of breaking 085e8f606e glass and a f98812499d piercing scream followed.04f10039a265dc40

A long arm broke 556cb2ceee through the opposite window, f859229b10 horrifying those who had 103fe3d59f fled there. Unlike the men who quickly e52d12c2d7 dodged, Song Hye-yeon, the only 2275db5f78 woman, had her long hair 8160846feb grabbed and was helplessly dragged, 984f7c726d crashing against the window frame.21480508d3be1413

At Song Hye-yeon’s words, An 8c3bed7ac9 Chi-seung, who had rushed in bbe26c70cc with Baek Il-hoo, grabbed something 6099922267 and cut her seized hair. As her hair scattered, b22f113ae7 Baek Il-hoo caught Song dc149a7723 Hye-yeon, and they crashed 56ab89e164 loudly to the floor.d8b0bc405c211d35

Thrown with force, e953c07b72 the phone landed d00ca1394b far away with 911a7fc78a a sharp sound, a077a2d35c still emitting light. The green-glowing creatures swarming 161e6e2db6 around the bus moved 87ae0f6179 toward the lone light, 3e747eda5c flickering as they gathered 2727474829 around it. The phone’s fragile light soon 02398c9570 died with a crunching sound, 00e7ef1d85 and the green lights, losing bbfcd4bae4 their target, began to wander 8b95d3c1e8 slowly across the road again.
