"Enter the deepest part of the tunnel before midnight. Does this mean the deepest part of the tunnel?" The mission requirement was very vague, and Chen Ge could not make up his mind.
If he failed the Trial Mission, the corresponding scenario would never be unlocked, so Chen Ge did not dare take the risk. "I'll have to try my best to walk deeper into the tunnel, as far as I can."
Chen Ge had looked up information about White Dragon Cave Tunnel before, and most of the information he could find on the internet was related to the female ghost from the car accident.
In other words, people only knew that there was a female ghost who would take the car that passed by. Other things like the shadow of a spider or the weird breathing could not be found online.
"I should go take a look before the sky turns completely dark." Due to the many accidents that had happened at White Dragon Cave Tunnel, the city's experts had studied it and closed it down many times. However, no matter what the experts did, once the tunnel was opened, the accident would still happen. In the end, they had no choice but to close down the entire tunnel.
According to the internet, the tunnel had been changed three times, and there were countless small changes. Some people even suggested mixing black dog's blood in the walls and burying black donkey's hooves in the corners, but none of that worked.
The situation inside the tunnel was complicated, and Chen Ge did not dare let his guard down.
Carrying his backpack and locking the Haunted House, Chen Ge left New Century Park in a hurry and hailed a cab to head to Eastern Jiujiang's White Dragon Cave Tunnel.
With his previous experience, Chen Ge did not dare tell the driver that he wanted to go to White Dragon Cave Tunnel directly. Instead, he politely told the driver to drive to a junction near White Dragon Cave Tunnel.
The original purpose of White Dragon Cave Tunnel was to connect Jiujiang and Xin Hai to become a new transportation hub.
Eastern Jiujiang was surrounded by mountains and rivers. To revitalize Eastern Jiujiang's economy, they had to open up a road, but this road often ran into problems.
Some of the local Jiujiang elders said that Jiujiang was a place blessed by its people, and the nine rivers formed a fengshui pattern of nine dragons playing with pearls. Opening a road through the mountains might leak the spiritual energy of Jiujiang, so strange things kept happening on the road.
Initially, no one believed this, but after too many strange things happened, the higher-ups changed their mind and closed down White Dragon Cave Tunnel.
The night shrouded Jiujiang, and the closer he got to Eastern Jiujiang, the fewer cars there were on the road. There were fewer tall buildings around, and the houses looked old.
Driving through the old city, the driver was very enthusiastic, chatting with Chen Ge non-stop along the way.
The White Dragon Cave Tunnel was at the edge of the suburbs. Before the driver reached the tunnel, there was not a single car in sight.
On the road that was much narrower, there was only one street lamp every long distance. Perhaps it was because there were few people on this road, the maintenance of the road was not in place. There were often some debris on the road, and many of the street lamps on the side of the road were also damaged.
"I hate driving in Eastern Jiujiang. The locals are very xenophobic, and they often throw things on the road. It's fine if it's an old driver like me, but if it's a young driver, it's very easy for an accident to happen," the driver complained.
"Those things might not have been thrown by the locals." Chen Ge had been to the border of Eastern Jiujiang many times, and this place gave him a strange feeling — it refused to let living people get close.
As the taxi got closer to the White Dragon Cave Tunnel, the two sides became more and more desolate. The buildings were replaced by trees that stretched as far as the eye could see, and only one or two houses could be seen occasionally.
"Let's stop here." Chen Ge did not want to make things difficult for the driver, so he decided to spend more time walking there. After all, it was still early.
"Are you sure? This place is so desolate; there's not even a shadow of a person. "The driver tried to persuade him, but his hand passed the WeChat QR code to Chen Ge.
Chen Ge knew that the driver was just being polite. He scanned the QR code to pay, but just as he was about to get out, the driver suddenly said, "Why is there a woman?"
Following the driver's gaze, Chen Ge saw a woman squatting before an old house on the left side of the road.
She only had one shoe on, and the edge of her dress was torn. She squatted before the house with her head lowered like she was looking for something.
The driver rolled down the window and poked his head out.
The woman's body was thin, and her arms were slender. The yellow and white dress was wrinkled like someone had rubbed it.
"Hey! Why are you here alone? "The driver did not ask for Chen Ge's opinion and asked directly.
When the woman heard the driver, she slowly raised her head. Her black hair slid down to reveal a pale face.
She did not look like much, but as the saying went, fair skin covered all ugliness. She gave off a unique sense of beauty.
The woman did not say anything. She slowly stood up and walked toward the taxi without a word.
The bottom of her dress was torn, and it was covered in dust and dried leaves. She only had one shoe, and there was a wound on her calf. However, strangely enough, none of the wounds on her body were bleeding.
"Is there something wrong with this girl's mind?" When a normal person encountered a situation like this, they would not associate it with ghosts, and the driver was no exception.
Slap!
The window was slapped, and in the blink of an eye, the woman had already walked to the side of the taxi. She stared at the driver expressionlessly, and her palm kept slapping on the window.
If a person was slapped on the window alone at night, they would definitely feel uneasy, but the driver's reaction was strange. He smiled at the woman outside the window and said as if talking to himself, "It's okay, don't be afraid. I'll take you home."
Then he opened the door, and the woman slid into the passenger seat.
"What's going on?" Chen Ge sat in the back and looked at the front of the taxi.
After the woman got into the car, she lowered her head and did not say a word, but the driver kept talking like he was talking to the air. It was very strange.
"You've been married before?"
"I have zero tolerance for domestic violence. If it happens once, there will be a second time. I will not let it go."
"I can understand why you ran away from home. You're so pitiful."
"Are you going to your parents' home? Okay, no problem. "
In the end, Chen Ge could not stand it anymore. He took out a ballpoint pen from his backpack and wrote something on the back of the card with the QR code — there's something wrong with that woman.
After that, he handed the card to the driver. "Sir, the QR code won't show! Can you see if there's a flaw on the card? "
"There's no problem?" The driver looked at the card for a long time, but he refused to look at the back of the card. "How about Alipay?"
Then he took out another card and handed it to Chen Ge.
Instead of accepting the card, Chen Ge glanced at the passenger seat. "Are you going to take this girl home? Where is her home? Perhaps we're going the same way, so you can take her home. If you give me a ride, I'll pay you back. "
The driver thought about it and agreed. "She lives in a nearby village, and the place is even more deserted. You're not going the same way, are you?"
"What a coincidence, I'm going that way as well. Just keep driving, and I'll get off with her." Chen Ge pulled open the zipper of his backpack and reached his hand into it.
