Sitting in the taxi, Chen Ge called Xiao Gu twice more. After confirming that Hong Yuyi had not come back, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"The first task tonight is to bring Xiao Gu back safely. The matter in the eastern suburbs will be dealt with slowly later."
Chen Ge has his own concerns. The taxi driver and Xiao Gu are ordinary people, and Chen Ge doesn't want to involve them.
The rain hit the car window, blurring the vision. The dark clouds outside the window made it feel like the entire night sky was falling downwards.
"The weather forecast was inaccurate. It said it was light rain. How long has it been raining?" The driver was a young man. He looked about the same age as Chen Ge. He was staring at the road ahead. Because of the weather, he did not dare to do anything.
Distracted.
"When we get to the place, I'll pick someone up and then take your car back. Don't worry, I won't let you run away empty-handed." Chen Ge withdrew his gaze.
"I'm not worried about the fare." The driver didn't look back: "Do you think it's raining a lot today? The further you go to the eastern suburbs, the heavier the rain becomes. The road is flooded and I can't even see the curb now.
"
"What's so evil about this? Are you too sensitive?" Chen Ge chuckled.
"I'd rather believe something exists than something that doesn't exist. Some things can't be explained clearly." The driver pointed to the Buddhist beads hanging under the rearview mirror: "I have driven passengers from the eastern suburbs before. People there are very superstitious and have many rules.
.For example, if there is a newborn at home, a man should stomp at the door before entering the house when he comes home; if he dreams about something bad, he should turn over his pillow when he wakes up; if he receives a call after twelve o'clock in the evening, he should not speak first;
At the scene of the car accident, if you see a strange car passing by, don’t get close to it, etc. I didn’t believe these things at first, but later they told me that I was scared.”
The lights on both sides of the road were getting darker and darker. The driver looked at the windshield wipers swinging left and right, feeling a little nervous: "They also have the scariest legend here. It's easy to get lost when walking at night when it rains heavily. It looks like you are heading home.
You walk in the right direction, but in fact you go farther and farther, and you end up in a completely unfamiliar place."
"Is there such a thing?" Chen Ge became more energetic. There are actually certain reasons for the emergence of many urban ghost stories. Most of them are related to reality and are not entirely made up by people.
"Although there have been no serious and vicious cases in the eastern suburbs, four-fifths of the annual disappearances in Jiujiang occur in the eastern suburbs. This place is like a cannibal."
What the driver said was very weird. After listening to it, Chen Ge also took the driver's words to heart: "Drive well. If we encounter something strange, we will call the police directly."
"Call the police?" The driver was a little uncomfortable with Chen Ge's jumping thinking: "That's okay, I just want to remind you. It's best not to run to the eastern suburbs alone in the middle of the night. This place is relatively deserted..."
Halfway through, the driver suddenly closed his mouth, squinted his eyes and looked ahead, and suddenly turned the steering wheel!
The taxi suddenly changed direction, and Chen Ge's body hit the door. Without saying a word, he reached into his backpack and decisively pressed the switch of the repeater.
The speed of the car slowed down, and the driver gasped for air. His forehead was soaked with sweat.
"what happened?"
"There seemed to be a person standing in the middle of the road just now."
"Did you see it wrong? It's raining heavily and the surroundings are so dark. Who would stand in the middle of the road?" Chen Ge groped around in his backpack with both hands, as if he had caught something.
"That's impossible." The driver wiped the sweat from his forehead and glanced to the side. It was dark outside the window.
"Then can you describe to me what that person looks like? Is she wearing a red raincoat?"
"I'm not wearing a raincoat, it's just a shadow. Maybe I saw it wrong." The driver rubbed his head, took off the prayer beads hanging on the rearview mirror and put it on his wrist, and then continued to drive forward.
"Don't drive too fast. There are more rivers in the eastern suburbs. Safety first." Chen Ge is not afraid of the ghost. He is worried that the ghost will attack the driver. If the driver has an accident while the vehicle is driving at high speed, then he will also
Follow and die.
The rustling sound of electricity sounded in the taxi, and the raindrops outside the window seemed to deliberately avoid the taxi.
The two arrived at the Dongjiao Waterworks without any danger. Chen Ge asked the driver to wait at the gate. He put on his raincoat and hat, opened the car door, and walked into the rain curtain.
As soon as he got out of the car, Chen Ge felt depressed for no reason, and he felt a strange feeling whenever he looked at it.
It felt very familiar, as if I had experienced this scene before, or perhaps I had dreamed about it in a dream.
Being in the middle of a heavy rainstorm, the sound of falling raindrops slowly drifted away from his ears. Chen Ge frowned slightly and took out his mobile phone to dial Xiao Gu's number.
The ringtone reached his ears, but no one answered. The rain was getting heavier and heavier, but Chen Ge couldn't hear the sound of rain falling to the ground. Only the busy tone on his phone was left in his ears.
He seemed to be isolated from the world. Darkness came from all directions, and only the dilapidated door of the water plant remained in his sight.
The iron door was blown by the wind and swayed, and the laughter and cries of children came from inside. There were many and mixed sounds.
Small footprints began to appear on the puddle, and something rushed out from the water plant. They ran and jumped, surrounding Chen Ge.
His body stiffened, and a memory buried deep in his heart slowly emerged.
When he was very young, Chen Ge's parents told him not to go to the eastern suburbs, but during a school outing, the chosen location happened to be in the eastern suburbs.
While playing next to a certain reservoir, he heard someone calling his name. Later, accompanied by his teacher, he walked through the woods and saw a blood-red house at the end of the road. There were many children playing around the house.
, they cried or laughed, the scene then was the same as now.
"It seems that most of the anomalies in the eastern suburbs are related to the red house. Could the out-of-control door in Liwan Town also be related to the red house?"
As the footprints slowly approached, Chen Ge's pupils shrank, but even if he had Yin Pupils, he still couldn't see those things clearly.
"These little ghosts seem to blend in perfectly with their surroundings."
The child's cries and laughter came from far away, and he came to his side, hugged his legs, and then slowly climbed up his body.
Chen Ge tightened his grip on the skull-crushing hammer. When he was about to call Xu Yin out, the cold feeling on his body disappeared again.
The children ran away from him crying, and at the same time, a somewhat familiar voice came from a distance.
"Chen Ge..."
Looking up, Chen Ge found a figure standing inside the water plant, about the same height and build as himself.
"Who are you?"
"Me?" The figure raised his hands, slowly pierced his chest, and pulled out another child from his body.
The child's face was blurred, and he looked somewhat similar to Chen Ge when he was a child. His neck was twisted, as if someone had strangled it.
"I am the child you killed..."
"Killed by me?" Chen Ge dragged the skull-crushing hammer and pondered for a long time: "But why don't I have any impression? Why don't you come here again and let me take a closer look at your face?"
