"Carrying the hammer does make me feel safer."
Chen Ge grabbed his backpack and left the Haunted House.
Lychee's ghost story continued, and she was already at the third story.
She told this story in great detail like she had experienced it herself.
The scariest thing was that the details of this story were similar to the first story.
In other words, in the third story, the driver who drove at midnight was the unlucky man who was replaced by the ghost.
"The more I hear about it, the more it sounds like the style of the Society of Strange Tales."
Chen Ge waited for a long time at the park entrance before a taxi arrived. It was already 11: 30 pm.
"I should be able to make it in time." Chen Ge opened the door, and before he got in, he heard a popular DJ from several years ago.
The taxi did not have the air-conditioning on, and the driver was a middle-aged man. His arms were pressed against the window, and his head swayed to the rhythm.
"How come this person looks so familiar?"
Chen Ge looked at the man's face, and it took him a long time to remember. When he went to Western Jiujiang's Private Academy to complete the Bloody Heart Mission from Zhang Ya, it was this driver who dropped him off.
At the time, when he was taking out his phone, he had accidentally dropped the fruit knife, and the driver had mistaken him for a carjacking. He had even written on the billboard on the roof of the car, 'I have been hijacked, please call the police.'
What a coincidence, perhaps this was fate.
"Where are we going?"
Chen Ge was afraid that the driver would refuse to take him, so he blocked his nose with his hand and got into the car. He closed the door and said, "Huai Hua Alley in the old city. I'm in a hurry, so please hurry."
"Huai Hua Alley?" The driver lowered the music in the car and hesitated like he was in a dilemma.
"Is there a problem? Does it cost more to go to the old city? "
"Even though that place is not far from here, I heard it's haunted. A taxi driver once ran into a ghost there."
"What era are you living in? You still believe things like that?" Chen Ge did not blush. "Hurry up and drive, I'm in a hurry."
"Sometimes, you really have to believe it. A few weeks ago, I encountered a strange thing." The driver started the car, and he seemed to be reminded of some bad memories. "In the middle of the night, a man asked me to drive him to an abandoned school in the countryside. I swear to God, I took him there without thinking, and guess what happened?"
"What happened?"
"We're almost there. The man told me he was going to the abandoned campus for a date. Do you know how I felt? My scalp is about to explode after dragging a psychopath for half the night! "
The more the driver spoke, the more uncomfortable he became. "The next day, I had a fever. It was really strange. I quickly asked my wife to find a half-immortal and ask for some talismans for me. It took me a whole week before I dared to continue burning the midnight oil. "
"Is it that scary?" Chen Ge was embarrassed. He felt like he had experienced something completely different from other people.
"Don't doubt me, I'm telling the truth. At the time, the young man was about your age, and it was normal for him to look clean, but who would have known …" The driver glanced at Chen Ge through the rearview mirror, and then a strange feeling rose in his heart. A chill crawled up his legs to his shoulders.
We've never met before, so why does it feel like we've met before?
The color on his face slowly faded, and he asked probingly, "Brother, have we met before?"
Chen Ge guessed that the man had recognized him. "Sorry for troubling you at Western Jiujiang's Private Academy. I didn't expect it to cause you so much trouble. I'm sorry."
The middle-aged driver's face froze. He pulled out the talismans that were stuck to his shirt and tore them into pieces. "Actually, I recognized you when you got on the bus. I was just joking with you. Please don't take my words to heart."
"I won't. Brother, how do I address you? I work at the theme park. We can be friends in the future. " It was fate that Chen Ge had met this man twice. He did not know whether Fang Xin liked him or not, but he did like the man's optimistic attitude.
The driver looked at the dark and empty theme park behind him, and his Adam's apple trembled. "My surname is Zhang."
The two chatted for a while. The driver was still wary of Chen Ge. Like a lion trapped in a cage with a herbivore, the veins on his hands that gripped the steering wheel were visible.
Seeing this, Chen Ge sighed. It seemed like that night had left a deep psychological scar on the driver.
Seeing the man's lack of interest, Chen Ge did not disturb him. He focused on Lychee's ghost story. He wanted to find information related to the Society of Strange Tales.
Creepy music played inside the car. Lychee's ghost story happened at Huai Hua Alley, and the main characters were all taxi drivers. This caused the man in the driver's seat to break out in cold sweat.
He forced himself not to listen and focused on driving.
When there were only nineteen minutes left until midnight, the taxi drove into the old city. When it was about ten meters away from Huai Hua Alley, the driver stopped the car and refused to move forward no matter what.
Chen Ge felt sorry for this brother and hurried out of the car.
Just as he closed the door, the taxi turned around and sped up without any hesitation.
"Am I that scary? This old brother is too timid. " Chen Ge looked at the taxi that disappeared into the distance. The driver stopped about fifty meters away. It appeared like someone was waving at him from another alley.
Soon, someone jumped out from the alley, opened the door, and got into the car.
The driver did not want to stay there any longer. After the door was closed, he left like he was running for his life.
Someone happened to be calling for a taxi? Chen Ge thought back to every movement of the person that came out from the alley. The distance was far, and the light was dim, so he could not see clearly.
"No, wait, the person who came out from the alley …" Chen Ge's pupils shrank. "He appeared to be running backward!"
Chen Ge pocketed the phone, and then Lychee started to tell the fifth ghost story related to the taxi driver.
He ran out of the alley, and the taxi was already far away.
I have to find him! Chen Ge rushed into the road. He did not care whether there was a passenger in the taxi or not. He stopped them directly. "You taxi drivers should have an internal chat group. Help me find someone, quick! His life might be in danger! "
The driver was quite spooked by Chen Ge. Following Chen Ge's description, he easily contacted the driver with the surname Zhang.
"Lao Zhang, where are you now?"
