A Saturday morning. Au Co Street, Tan Binh District, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Cao Phong goes to the supermarket as usual, his hostel is only about a fifteen minute walk from the supermarket, so every Saturday or Sunday, he goes to the supermarket to buy food and some daily necessities. Auchan supermarket is located on Au Co street, but on weekends, it is not very crowded, so it only takes about twenty minutes for Cao Phong to finish buying things, then immediately return to the motel room, on his way back, he passed a bus stop. The waiting station only had a girl waiting for the bus, the girl was probably a student, although she was wearing a mask, Cao Phong guessed that the girl must be quite pretty. Beautiful girls in Saigon are nowhere to be found, so he didn't care much and quickly passed by. As soon as he passed the girl, Cao Phong suddenly stopped, a series of images flashed in his head, making his face pale. A bus stopped in front of the waiting station, bus number 666, the girl quickly stepped on the bus door that had just opened, the door slammed shut. Bus 666 rolled slowly. Safes! Um! Bus 666 had just run a few meters when suddenly crashed into a shop on the road, the force of the collision was so strong that the car more than ten meters was forced to half, the people on the bus were like fruits in a juicer being crushed. pressed down to only the skin, bones and internal organs were crushed into a slimy liquid and then shot out, splashed on the remaining broken glass, shot down the road like a torrential rain, the scene was endless. the same disgust that makes one vomit. In the moment the bus crashed into the store, Cao Phong saw the face of the girl who had just gotten on the bus, she reached out her hand to him as if asking for help. "What are you? Are you okay?" Cao Phong woke up startled, the girl waiting for the bus was still sitting there, Au Co street was still bustling normally without any accidents. The girl saw Cao Phong walking suddenly stopped in front of her, her face was lifeless, but her face was pale, sweating profusely, so she ventured to ask. Gao Phong wiped the sweat from his forehead, feeling that the scene he had just seen was very real, but that girl was still sitting here, there was no accident, could it be that what Gao Feng has just seen is the future? What Gao Feng had just seen was very real but also like a dream. A dream is a very mysterious thing, some people can dream about the future in a near future, for example today you dream of a certain scene tomorrow you will see that scene again, now That statue is called Deja Vu, but the important thing is that Cao Phong didn't dream anything yesterday, if it wasn't a dream, could Cao Phong see the future? Things are not normal Cao Phong also ventured to start a conversation with a strange girl, in fact, it seems that Cao Phong is a bit ungrateful with girls, no matter how hard he tries to talk, girls hate him so he's best friend. Cao Phong's are all boys, of course he's twenty-one years old and still hasn't been with anyone. "Hello, what number bus do you take?" The girl is also gentle and not wary of Cao Phong like other girls, she replied: "I ride number 66!" Gao Phong breathed a sigh of relief, the girl rode 66, not 666, it seems that he was mentally and spiritually broken, how could such a terrible accident happen? At this time, bus 66 appeared at the intersection about ten meters from the waiting station, Cao Phong did not want to bother people anymore, so he quickly said: "Car 66 is here, you go and catch the bus!" After he finished speaking, he turned away, the girl gently nodded and then stood up and waved her hand. Bus number 66 stopped in front of the girl just a few minutes, and as soon as Cao Phong turned away, suddenly a thought flashed: "Car 666? Where is this car going? Wait! Why the hell does Saigon have a car number 666?".... Dịch cho mình nhé.
