Chapter 0608 – Listening to the Darkness

　　The light behind them was slowly fading, and the cab seemed to be pushed into the deep sea.

　　When the last trace of light disappeared, the passengers inside the car were completely wrapped in darkness.

　　”Is there, is there anyone?” After the sound of tapping on the car disappeared, the driver slowly raised his head, his hand groping inside the car, looking for his cell phone.

　　”Don’t move, get down.” The voice was a bit stern, and the driver didn’t resist, obediently bending down.

　　The person who had told the driver not to move was none other than Chen Ge, and although the sounds of slapping on the doors and windows had disappeared, the filth still surrounded the car and did not leave.

　　”What the hell do they want?” Chen Ge possessed Yin pupils that could see what the driver couldn’t, and at this point, their situation wasn’t optimistic.

　　There were bloody handprints all over the surface of the cab, and those people who had left the bloody handprints were standing around the cab at this very moment.

　　They all wore very odd expressions, their bodies all facing in one direction, their lips wriggling up and down like the gills of a fish, swallowing some kind of gas from the tunnel.

　　About 10 minutes later, a strange sound came from the depths of the tunnel, which was hard to describe, like several centipedes crawling on the tunnel walls, or like something breathing heavily, with the exhaled gas scraping against the rough walls.

　　After this sound appeared, those dirty things around the cab began to move their feet, and they walked in the direction from which the sound came.

　　The footsteps were ringing in his ears, but there was no one in sight. The driver hid in the car, holding his head, he was really scared.

　　It was pitch black, nothing could be seen, but his ears could catch a lot of strange sounds, they swarmed into his head, the driver felt like his head was about to burst.

　　”Bang!”

　　A soft thud came from somewhere inside the car. It seemed to be the door of the car being pushed open.

　　There was no bright light, and no one knew what was going on inside the car. After half an hour, until all the sounds in his ears disappeared and the tunnel regained its calmness, the driver shivered and took out his cell phone, and with the help of the screen’s shimmering light, surveyed his car.

　　The rear door had been opened at some point, and there was not a single passenger in the car, it was empty, only the driver himself was sitting in the main driver’s seat.

　　”Where is everyone?”

　　It wasn’t so scary with someone around him, but now that he was left to himself, the driver was a little frantic.

　　He pressed the button on the car intercom, but there was only the sound of rustling electricity on the other side, and no one spoke. He turned on his cell phone again and dialed every number he could think of, but no one answered.

　　The amplitude of his movements became bigger and bigger, and his voice was filled with tears: “Is there anyone? Anyone at all, anyone!”

　　”Stop howling there and keep your voice down.” A beam of light shone in front of the cab, the driver looked in the direction of the voice, a man with a backpack stood by the side of the car.

　　This man’s back was familiar to the driver, it was the first passenger he pulled in the city tonight.

　　”Don’t talk nonsense, do as I say, first try to see if the car can start.” Chen Ge carried a single handbag with a very serious expression.

　　The driver also knew that the matter was urgent and didn’t ask much. He tried several times in a row, but he couldn’t start the car.

　　”Get out of the car and check the engine, quick, don’t delay.” Under Chen Ge’s urging, the driver got out of the car, and his scalp went numb as he looked at the bloody handprints all over the car.

　　Opening the front cover of the car, the driver leaned over and looked inside, which was entangled by a mass of black hair, which could not be untangled without the help of tools according.

　　”Do you have scissors?” The driver asked Chen Ge in a low voice.

　　”Is a hammer okay?”

　　”That, that’s better.” The driver closed the front cover of the car and followed Chen Ge with a bitter face, “It should be the hair blocking the engine pipes, which I don’t have the tools to fix.”

　　”Forget it if you can’t fix it, just leave the car here for now. Later on, you stay close to me, no matter what happens, don’t stray too far from me.” Chen Ge turned on the flashlight that came with his cell phone and walked in the opposite direction from those dirty things.

　　”Did you see the other two passengers? How come you’re the only one in the car?” The driver hesitated for a moment, but still asked.

　　”Do you still think they’re just ordinary passengers until now? Those two guys have already entered the depths of the tunnel.” Chen didn’t bother to talk nonsense to the driver, if it wasn’t for the fact that the driver was relatively kind-hearted, he wouldn’t even be prepared to send the driver out first, he would have just directly blended into the group of “people” and followed those filth into the depths of the tunnel.

　　”There’s a problem with this tunnel, I’ll send you out first and make sure you’re safe before I leave.”

　　”Thanks a lot.” The driver’s gratitude to Chen Ge was from the bottom of his heart, in this situation, to have a living person as a companion was already something to be happy about.

　　”Forget about the thanks, when you get out, I hope you can keep it a secret and don’t tell a 3rd person about these things you saw tonight.” Chen Ge’s voice was low and hoarse, appearing very mysterious.

　　The driver nodded repeatedly after hearing this and said that he would definitely do what Chen Ge said.

　　The two of them walked in the tunnel for three to four minutes one after the other, but they still didn’t see an exit.

　　”The situation isn’t quite right.” Chen Ge stopped and stood in the middle of the tunnel, “It only took half a minute for the cab to go from being pushed into the tunnel to the light completely disappearing. At that time, the car was moving at a very slow speed similar to a person walking, which means that we only needed a minute at most to walk out. But now we’ve been walking for three minutes and we still can’t see a single bright light.”

　　”Right! What’s going on here?” Analyzed by Chen Ge, the driver broke out in a sweat, “Could we be running in the wrong direction? Entering deeper into the tunnel?”

　　”The front of the car is facing deeper into the tunnel, there’s no wrong direction.”

　　”Then why can’t we get out now?”

　　”You ask me, who do I ask?” It was also the first time Chen Ge encountered such a situation, he held the tunnel wall with one hand and quietly took out his black cell phone with the other.

　　”It would be great if I could contact that red-clothed female ghost in the tunnel, we had a good conversation last time, so I’m sure there’s no problem getting her to do some small favor.”

　　Chen Ge didn’t know the name of the female ghost in the tunnel, nor did he know how to contact her, recalling his last mission experience, Chen Ge had a bold idea.

　　He slid his black phone and tapped on the quest Deep in the Tunnel, re-reading the quest prompt.

　　”Close your eyes and you might be able to see a different world.”

　　Under the driver’s astonished gaze, Chen ripped his sleeve off.

　　”What do you want?”

　　Brother Chen ignored the driver and folded the sleeve a few times to make sure it wouldn’t let in any light before covering his eyes.

　　”Older brother, be normal, don’t be like this.” The driver stayed in place not knowing what to do, he was completely unable to guess what Chen Ge was thinking.

　　”Keep quiet and follow me. If you’re really scared, you can also close your eyes.” With his hand on the wall, Chen Ge just continued on.
