041. Every path leads to the Abandoned Capital_1

```

If you could call that a human, then Lu Ban felt something was not right with the world.

Because that was definitely not what a normal modern human looked like. It was somewhat different from an ape, more like some quadruped being forced to stand and run upright, in a bizarre posture that gave an indescribable sense of disgust.

However, it was just a fleeting glimpse, and the creature disappeared into the distance as the bus drove on. Lu Ban didn't pay it any more mind and turned his head back.

"What do you think that was just now, outside the window?"

He asked the young man beside him.

"Wha...what, what was that?"

The brother was startled, quickly shifting away from the window.

"The thing that looked like a person, didn't you see it?"

Lu Ban even pointed in the direction.

"No, no I didn't!!!"

He seemed about to cry, shrinking his neck involuntarily.

"Oh, then I must have seen it wrong,"

Lu Ban responded.

"...It was a Ratman, probably."
