["The hunting time of the Predatory Buses is not fixed. Sometimes they hunt during the day, sometimes at night. However, their favorite trick is to disguise themselves as the last bus late at night, making passengers feel they have no choice but to board."]
As the screen displayed this information, a video began to play.
["In the video, a woman who had just finished working overtime until midnight hurriedly arrived at the bus stop. At that moment, a bus just happened to appear."]
["Since it was the last bus and the displayed route matched her way home, the woman didn't hesitate and got on immediately."]
["Inside the bus, she was the only passenger. She didn't think much of it and leaned against the seat to rest."]
["Along the way, the bus stopped at several stations, and a few more people boarded, catching this final ride home."]
["Strangely enough, many passengers fell asleep as soon as they sat down. Some of them were clearly not that tired, yet an overwhelming drowsiness suddenly took over their minds."]
["Everyone who got on the bus felt an increasing sense of fatigue. They all assumed they were just exhausted and soon dozed off against their seats."]
["When they finally woke up, they realized they hadn't arrived at their intended stops. Instead, they found themselves in an abandoned junkyard."]
["'What's going on?! Why are we here?! No one even told us anything!'"]
["'Yeah! Where is this place? Why did you bring us here?!'"]
["'Driver, what the hell are you doing?!'"]
[Shocked and outraged at being taken to an unknown location, the passengers rushed to the driver's seat—only to be met with a horrifying sight.]
[The driver was not alive. Instead, he was a grotesque corpse with a severely decayed face, as if he had been dead for a long time. Because he wore a mask that covered his face and had kept his head down the entire time, no one had noticed earlier. But now, they realized that their bus driver had been a corpse all along!]
["'What the hell?! What's going on?!'"]
["'Oh my god! Call the police now!'"]
["'Help! Let me off this bus!'"]
[Panic spread among the passengers. They scrambled to get off, trying to call the police. However, the doors were tightly shut, completely locked. Some attempted to break the windows, but to their horror, the glass was far tougher than expected—impossible to shatter. Worse yet, there was no signal in this eerie place, making it impossible to call for help.]
[Then, something even stranger happened. Suddenly, all the bus windows opened on their own, and the entire vehicle began shaking violently from side to side for no apparent reason.]
[The violent shaking tossed the passengers around like ragdolls. They slammed into the seats and walls, unable to control their movements. Finally, they were flung out of the windows and onto the ground outside!]
[As they groggily stood up, wincing in pain, they suddenly noticed something horrifying—around them, a horde of buses had appeared out of nowhere. These buses were different; they were much smaller than regular ones, almost as if they weren't meant for human passengers.]
[And then, an even more terrifying scene unfolded.]
[The buses suddenly sprouted limbs like those of a locust, extending sharp, insect-like legs. Their roofs split open, revealing insect wings, and the areas beneath their headlights tore apart—exposing rows of sharp fangs. Underneath them, where wheels should have been, were massive, gaping mouths!]
["Aaaahhhhhh!!!"]
[The sheer horror of the sight made many passengers scream in terror. Who could have ever imagined that buses could transform into grotesque monsters? Some even pinched themselves, desperately hoping they were dreaming, but the searing pain assured them that this was all real.]
["Boom! Boom! Boom!"]
[The ground trembled with intense vibrations.]
[The bus that had carried the passengers now also transformed—extending insect limbs, sprouting insect wings, and revealing its nightmarish maw.]
[Then, without any warning, it lunged at one of the passengers, piercing their body with a sharp forelimb before tossing them into its mouth, chewing them up with sickening crunches.]
["Aaaaahhhhhhh!!!"]
["The person being devoured let out a blood-curdling scream, their cries mixed with the grotesque sounds of chewing and bones being crushed. The nauseating symphony of horror assaulted everyone's ears, pushing their sanity to its limits."]
[Many people couldn't take it and vomited in fear and disgust.]
[After devouring its first victim, the massive bus turned its gaze toward the remaining passengers, its grotesque mouth curling into a sinister grin.]
[The passengers were now paralyzed with fear, their faces drained of color. They had no idea what was happening. By the time they snapped out of their shock and tried to escape, they realized that all exits were already blocked. The other monstrous buses surrounded them, their gaping maws filled with razor-sharp teeth, ready to feast.]
[In the end, all the passengers were torn apart and devoured, becoming food for the monstrous buses. The scene was nothing short of a bloodbath.]
[Once they had finished their grisly meal, the buses reverted back to their ordinary appearances and calmly drove away, as if nothing had ever happened.]
[These were the Predatory Buses!]
[The largest of the Predatory Buses is believed to be the "parent" of the smaller ones. However, its exact gender is unknown. Strangely, these creatures have no reproductive organs that resemble those of any known lifeform, making their method of reproduction an unsolved mystery.]
["When we first discovered these bizarre buses, we immediately launched a containment operation. The Predatory Buses are incredibly powerful. They can launch highly corrosive acid attacks and possess immense strength—strong enough to ram a speeding train off its tracks. Their exteriors are far more durable than any regular bus, capable of withstanding significant gunfire."]
["The most terrifying part is their sheer numbers. There are countless buses around the world, and we have no idea how many among them might be Predatory Buses."]
["The SCP Foundation has spent an enormous amount of manpower and resources to track down and contain these Predatory Buses. While many have been captured, even more have been eliminated, reducing the risk of further casualties."]
["Despite our research, we still don't fully understand the biology of the Predatory Buses. What we do know is that they release a hypnotic scent when passengers board, causing them to fall asleep and remain unaware of their fate."]
[Ultimately, the SCP Foundation continues to hunt for these Predatory Buses. No one knows how long they have existed or how widespread they are. The scariest part? No one can ever be sure if the bus parked at their station is just a regular bus—or a monster in disguise."]
