It might have been a coincidence, but Ashley's voice rang out at the exact same time as the bus's announcement, drowning it out for a moment.
Since Mai Mingle had already heard the announcement once after the bus started moving again, she subconsciously knew what it was saying—
"This bus is now departing. The vehicle will be unsteady as it starts. Until the ride stabilizes, seated passengers are advised not to stand up or walk around. Newly boarded passengers, please find a seat as soon as possible."
The young woman in the raincoat seemed to treat it as a normal announcement, paying it no mind at all.
Her full attention was captured by the police badge Ashley had flashed.
"Thank God,"
The young woman let out a long sigh of relief. She walked over to Ashley's side in a few steps, gripping a handrail tightly. "I don't know what's going on tonight... I thought I was going crazy. I-I saw... Never mind, that's not important."
"You must be crazy,"
