So that's how it is.

I breathed a sigh of relief.

However, it's late, and I'm alone. How can I ride a taxi alone?

This driver doesn't seem like a good person.

My classmate seemed to guess what I was thinking and said over the phone, "Are you scared? Don't worry, we can stay connected. The class monitor and I are also rushing to the school. We will make sure you're safe."

"Then... please don't hang up." With that, I walked out of the flower bed and got into the man's taxi.

After sitting down, I don't know if it was an illusion.

I seemed to hear a clicking sound.

It was the sound of the car door locking.

"Scan the health code." The driver said in a rough voice.

I nodded quickly.

But the health code didn't show up when scanned.

Instead, it displayed a flashing line of red, bolded words in regular script:

【Watch your step!!!】
