Chapter 0604 – Unwelcome Guest
”Enter the depths of the tunnel before midnight, does this depth refer to the innermost part of the tunnel?” The mission requirements were very general, and Chen Ge was a little uncertain.
If the trial mission failed, the scene corresponding to the mission would never be unlocked, so Chen Ge didn’t dare to take a risk, “I can only try to go as far inside the tunnel as I can.”
Chen Ge had already searched for information about the White Dragon Cave tunnels before, and most of the information that could be found on the internet was related to the female ghost of the car accident.
That meant that people only knew that there was a female ghost in the White Dragon Cave that would ride on passing cars, and other things like spider shadows, odd breathing sounds, and things related to them couldn’t be found online at all.
”Let’s go over there before it gets completely dark.” White Dragon Cave Tunnel because there have been many car accidents, the city’s experts have also studied, many times closed to alterations, but the strange thing is that no matter what kind of modifications the experts make, as long as the traffic is open, accidents will still occur, and finally there is no other way but to close the entire tunnel.
The Internet said that the tunnel before and after the big change over three times, the small change countless, there are people suggesting that the walls mixed with black dog blood, the corner of the wall buried black donkey hooves, but unfortunately, are not useful.
The interior of the tunnel is more complicated, Chen Ge does not dare to be careless.
Putting his bag on his back and locking the door of the haunted house, Chen Ge hurriedly left the New Century Paradise and took a taxi to the eastern suburb of White Dragon Cave Tunnel.
Having had previous experience, Chen Ge didn’t dare to tell the driver that he wanted to go to White Dragon Cave, but politely asked him to drive to a fork in the road near White Dragon Cave.
The original purpose of the White Dragon Cave was to connect Jiujiang and Xinhai City and become a new transportation hub.
The eastern suburb is wrapped by the big river and mountains, want to bring alive the economy of the eastern suburb, must open a road, but this road is often a problem.
Jiujiang local old man said, Jiujiang, nine big rivers present nine dragons playing pearls feng shui bureau, in the eastern suburbs of the mountains cut a road, may drain the spirit of Jiujiang, so that the road strange things constantly.
No one believed in this argument at first, then too many strange things happened, the top of this change of mind, seal off the White Dragon Cave.
Night shrouded Jiujiang, the more to the eastern suburbs to drive, the road vehicles on the road is less and less, around the high-rise buildings are also much less, the houses look a little shabby.
Crossing the old city, the driver is very enthusiastic, all the way to Chen Ge, talk about, talk about.
White Dragon Cave Tunnel is at the edge of the suburbs, the driver has not yet reached the place, the road has been a car can not be seen.
On the much narrower road, you can only see a street light every far, probably because this road is sparsely populated, the road maintenance is very poor, you will often see some debris on the road, and many of the street lights on the side of the road are also damaged.
”I just hate driving towards the eastern suburbs, the locals are very xenophobic and often throw things onto the road, it’s okay to meet an old driver like me, but when a youngster comes over, it’s easy to have an accident.” The driver casually complained.
”Those things aren’t necessarily thrown by the locals.” Chen Ge had been to the edge of the eastern suburb many times, and the place gave him a peculiar feeling – refusing to let the living get close.
The cab was getting closer and closer to the White Dragon Cave Tunnel, and both sides were getting more and more desolate, with buildings being replaced by endless trees and only an occasional private house or two.
”Just stop here.” Chen Ge didn’t want to make things difficult for the cab driver, he decided to spend more time walking there himself, it was still early anyway.
”Are you sure? This place is not in front of the village, not behind the store, there’s not even a single person.” The driver’s mouth was persuading, but his hand handed Chen Ge the WeChat scanning sign.
Chen Ge also knew that the other party was probably just being polite and swept the code to pay, but just as he was about to get out of the car, the driver sitting in the main driver’s seat suddenly said, “Why is there a woman there?”
Following the driver’s gaze, Chen Ge found a woman squatting in front of a dilapidated private house on the left side of the road.
With only one foot wearing a shoe and her skirt torn, she was squatting in front of the private house with her head hanging low, seemingly looking for something.
The driver opened the window and stuck his head out of the car.
The woman’s body was thin, her arms were slender, and her yellow and white skirt was wrinkled and seemed to have been rubbed hard.
”Hello! Why are you here alone?” The driver did not seek Chen Ge’s opinion and spoke directly.
The woman on the side of the road slowly raised her head when she heard the driver’s words, her black hair slipping down to reveal a pale face.
She was average looking, but as the saying goes, a white face covers a hundred ugliness, and she gave off a special sense of beauty.
The woman didn’t speak, slowly stood up and without a word, walked straight towards the cab.
The bottom of her skirt was ripped and full of dust and withered leaves, there was only one shoe, and there were wounds on her calves, but what was a bit strange was that there was no blood oozing out of all the wounds on her body.
”Is this girl mentally ill.” Normal people who encountered such a situation on the roadside would rarely associate it with ghosts and monsters, and the driver was no exception.
”Splat!”
The window was slapped, it was a moment of concentration, the woman had already walked to the side of the cab, she stared at the driver with an expressionless face, her palms continuously slapping the window.
If a person walks at night and is tapped on the car window like this will definitely be scared in his heart, but the driver’s behavior is a bit abnormal, he smiled at the woman outside the window, as if talking to himself and said, “It’s okay, don’t be afraid, I’ll send you home.”
With that he opened the car door, and the woman obediently sat in the passenger seat.
”What’s the situation?” Chen Ge sat in the back row by himself and looked to the front of the cab.
The woman lowered her head when she got in the car and didn’t say a word, but the driver was talking all by himself, as if he was conversing with the air, it looked very weird.
”You’ve been married, huh?”
”I have zero tolerance for things like domestic violence, once there is a second time, it can never be condoned.”
”I can understand you running away from home, it’s pathetic.”
”You want to go to your parents’ house? Okay, no problem.”
In the end, Chen Ge just couldn’t look at it anymore, so he took out the ballpoint pen in his backpack and wrote down a sentence on the back of the cardboard sign with the QR code on it-there was something wrong with that woman.
After writing, he handed the sign to the driver, “Master, this QR code can’t be scanned! Can you see if there’s a defect on the sign?”
”No problem?” The driver took the card and looked at it for half a day, but he didn’t look behind the cardboard: “Do you want to use Alipay?”
After saying this, he touched another card and handed it to Chen Ge.
Not bothering to pick up the cardboard, Chen Ge glanced toward the co-driver, “Are you going to send this girl home? Where is her home? Maybe we’re on the way, you’re sending her alone for nothing, hitch a ride with me and I’ll give you back your fare.”
The driver thought about it that way, “She lives in a nearby village, and has to go further, it’s even more desolate over there, so I don’t think you guys are going to be on the same way, right?”
”Coincidentally, I also happen to be heading that way, you just drive, just let me get off with her when the time comes.” Chen Ge pulled open the backpack zipper and put his hand inside.
