Chapter 0397 – This Seems Like a Life-Sending Question

　　Chen Ge found a lot of strange stories about the White Dragon Cave Tunnel on the internet, and most of them mentioned this beckoning woman.

　　They described this woman as a terrifyingly ferocious spirit that would cause trouble whenever it met.

　　Chen Ge was not in a very good position at this time, with a large shadow similar to a spider crawling above his head, footsteps sounding less than a meter behind him, and the beckoning woman in red standing not far in front of him.

　　In this situation, he was under unimaginable psychological pressure.

　　Continuing forward, Chen Ge whispered his name, silently counted his footsteps, and walked past the woman in red with her head hung low.

　　He ignored the woman who beckoned, his expression showing no change, as if he had never seen the other party.

　　Unlike the calmness that Chen Ge displayed, the white cat in his arms kept emitting very low whimpering sounds, seemingly reminding Chen Ge to never go any further in.

　　When he took the thirtieth step, Chen Ge slightly turned his head sideways and glanced towards his side.

　　The woman in red with her head hanging low did not die, and followed along against the wall on the left side of the tunnel.

　　The two of them walked side by side in the middle of the passageway, and it was reasonable to say that each of them walked in their own way without affecting anyone, but Chen Ge felt that the distance between himself and that woman was getting closer and closer.

　　”Most of the severe ghosts that remain in the world are due to their obsessions, what exactly has this severe ghost encountered in her life? Why did she strike out at the person who saved her? Could it be that she was killed by the driver who drove her when she was hitchhiking?”

　　Thinking of this, Chen Ge twisted his head to look at the woman.

　　She was wearing a very plain red tunic, her legs were covered in cuts and bruises, one of her white sandals had been lost in the run, and the barbs of certain plants were still stuck on her exposed skin.

　　”Red coat?” Chen Ge didn’t dare to be sure of his judgment, “I’m just doing a nightmare level daily quest, I shouldn’t have encountered a red coat.”

　　Topped with the title of Knightly Demon Favored One, Chen Ge’s understanding of himself was a bit vague now.

　　”Regardless of her, let’s finish the forty-four steps first, and then if there’s an accident, we just need to run outside.”

　　This tunnel that had been sealed for many years, because Chen Ge had entered, the filth inside began to awaken, and a pair of eyes stared at him in the darkness.

　　Mechanically repeating the same action, Chen Ge felt as if his legs were frozen, and every step was a struggle.

　　”Chen Ge ……”

　　Pronouncing his name, his voice was obviously not very loud, but there was an echo, and it felt like there was a self standing on the other side of the tunnel as well, walking opposite him.

　　”This should be the thirty-fourth sound.”

　　Chen Ge silently memorized the count in his head, he had to mentally prepare himself before he shouted out the forty-fourth sound.

　　With his feet raised, Chen Ge was about to shout out the thirty-fifth sound, and before he could open his mouth, a woman’s voice rang out beside her.

　　It was hard to hear, and it seemed to be from a female ghost!

　　The body stiffened a little, Chen Ge swept the left side of the tunnel with his afterglow.

　　Dirty hair covered her features, the woman surveyed Chen Ge through the gaps between her hair, her eyes were hidden under her hair like two dark holes.

　　Lips covered with tiny cuts opened and closed up and down, the woman’s throat seemed like a wooden stick had been stuffed into it, her voice was very special, every time she made a sound, it was like she was exhaling outwards.

　　”What is she saying?”

　　Chen Ge’s own rhythm was disrupted, his feet fell, and as he tried to open his mouth, the woman not far away from him once again made a sound.

　　This time Chen Ge heard it clearly, the woman was calling out his name.

　　”Chen Ge ……”

　　His name was pronounced by a female ghost suspected to be in red, Chen Ge’s forehead oozed cold sweat, if it was just an ordinary ghost, he wouldn’t have been so nervous at all, the main reason for this was because the other party was draped in a red coat.

　　Chen Ge didn’t pay attention to the woman and continued forward, he could already feel more things surrounding him in the darkness.

　　It was as if he was falling into the middle of the deep sea alone, and he didn’t know how many terrifying monsters were hidden in the darkness around him.

　　As his heartbeat quickened, Chen Ge didn’t slow down, and his remaining sanity told him that the black cell phone wouldn’t release a mission with certain death.

　　The nightmare mission was extremely difficult, but it wasn’t without a way to break the game.

　　”There have been so many car accidents in the tunnel, there must be a lot of dirty things in here, but right now, other than this woman in front of me, there are no other ghosts or monsters showing up, which is very strange.”

　　Chen Ge glanced towards the woman next to him, and just like what those drivers on the internet said, this woman was slowly approaching him.

　　”According to what those drivers said, the female ghost would end up on the car window with her face pressed against the glass. I’m not driving, so if I keep ignoring this crazy person, will she stick right in front of my face?”

　　Chen Ge somewhat missed the Bone Crushing Hammer, and he wiped the cold sweat from his palms.

　　The woman in red was slowly leaning towards Chen Ge, her speed was in line with Chen Ge’s, as Chen Ge sped up, she sped up as well, as Chen Ge stopped, she stood on the other side of the tunnel looking at Chen Ge slyly.

　　”There are still a few more steps to go, the problem is that it’s easy to come in, but it’s hard to go out.”

　　When he first entered the tunnel, Chen Ge could only feel the chilly aura in front of him, but after entering the tunnel for a dozen meters or so, he was already wrapped in that chilly aura, and even the light in his hand couldn’t bring him a trace of security.

　　”The back road may have been cut off, I still don’t know what’s following behind me, risking to turn back may see something even more terrifying.”

　　Debris gravel fell from time to time overhead, the huge black shadow that seemed like a spider spread its limbs recklessly, it kept moving after Chen Ge as if it had already taken Chen Ge as its prey.

　　”Are all nightmare level quests this difficult?” Facing several stern ghosts straight on without being able to utilize external forces was a bit too much in Chen Ge’s opinion, “Am I overlooking something crucial?”

　　He refocused his gaze on the woman next to him and scrutinized, and just as he was looking carefully, the woman’s head suddenly seemed to have been hit by something, violently sinking inward by a chunk.

　　The entire face was deformed, the eyes were about to bulge out, and the black hair collapsed with it.

　　Chen Ge forced himself not to explode into foul language as he forced himself to stop messing with that woman and honestly took the fortieth step.

　　”Only four steps left.”

　　The body of the woman on the left side of the tunnel was still changing, Chen Ge didn’t bother to look at it, but that horrible sound of the body deforming a little bit drilled into his ears.

　　”It’s just an ordinary impact, surely it wouldn’t have knocked her into this state, this woman must have suffered something very painful in her life.”

　　Chen Ge’s hands were shaking as the pressure on him increased.

　　”I’m here, save me.” The woman’s voice was getting more and more terrifying, and she was getting closer and closer to Chen Ge: “I’m here, next to you, I’m here!”

　　The woman asked Chen Ge for help, but Chen Ge didn’t dare to extend a helping hand, helping her would surely lead to an accident in the tunnel, if she didn’t help her, looking at the situation, I’m afraid there was no way to walk out alive.
