The light behind them slowly disappeared, and the taxi felt like it was being pushed into a deep ocean.
When the last bit of light disappeared, the passengers inside the taxi were completely swallowed by darkness.
"Is … is anyone there?" After the banging stopped, the driver slowly raised his head. His hand searched the interior of the car, looking for his phone.
"Don't move. Lie down." The voice was harsh. The driver did not resist and obediently lowered his body.
It was Chen Ge who had told the driver not to move. Even though the banging had stopped, the things still surrounded the car and did not leave.
"What do they want?" With his Yin Yang Vision, Chen Ge could see things that the driver could not. Things were not looking good for them.
The surface of the taxi was covered in bloody handprints, and the people who left the bloody handprints were standing around the taxi.
They all had strange expressions on their faces, and their bodies were facing the same direction. Their lips moved up and down like gills, sucking in some kind of gas in the tunnel.
About ten minutes later, a strange sound came from deep inside the tunnel. It was hard to describe. It sounded like several centipedes crawling on the wall, and it sounded like something was breathing heavily. The air that it exhaled scraped against the rough wall.
After the sound appeared, the things around the taxi started to move. They moved toward the source of the sound.
The footsteps echoed in his ears, but there was no one there. The driver hid inside the car, holding his head. He was really spooked.
In the darkness, he could not see anything, but his ears could hear many strange sounds. They swarmed into his mind, and the driver felt like his brain was going to explode.
Bang!
A soft sound came from inside the car. It sounded like the door had been pushed open.
There was no light, so no one knew what was happening inside the car. After half an hour, when all the sounds disappeared, and the tunnel became quiet again, the driver took out his phone with shaking hands. Using the dim light from the screen, he studied his car.
The back door had been opened, and there was not a single passenger inside the car. It was empty, and the driver sat in the driver's seat.
"Where is everyone?"
When there was someone beside him, he was not that afraid, but now that he was alone, the driver was going crazy.
He pressed the button on the car's walkie-talkie, but there was only the sound of static. No one spoke. He turned on his phone and dialed all the phone numbers he could think of, but no one answered.
His movements became more and more intense, and there was a sobbing tone in his voice, "Is there anyone? Anyone will do. Is there anyone? "
"Don't howl there. Lower your voice." A beam of light shone in front of the taxi. The driver looked in the direction of the sound and saw a man carrying a backpack standing beside the car.
The driver was very familiar with this person's back. It was the first passenger he had picked up in the city tonight.
"Cut the crap and do as I say. Let's see if the car can start first." Chen Ge held his bag with one hand and looked very serious.
The driver also knew that the matter was urgent, so he 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 waste time." Under Chen Ge's urging, the driver got out of the car. He looked at the bloody handprints all over the car, and his scalp went numb.
Opening the hood of the car, the driver leaned over to look inside. The inside of the car was entangled by clumps of black hair. Without the help of tools, there was no way to undo them.
"Do you have scissors?" the driver whispered to Chen Ge.
"Can I use a hammer?"
"Er, then I'll pass." The driver closed the hood and followed behind Chen Ge with a bitter expression. "The hair should be blocking the engine pipe. I don't have the tools to fix it."
"If you can't fix it, then so be it. I'll leave the car here for now. Stay close to me later. No matter what happens, don't stray too far away from me. "Chen Ge turned on the flashlight on his phone and walked in the opposite direction of the things.
"Have you seen the other two passengers? How come you're the only one in the car? "The driver hesitated before asking.
"Do you still think they're just normal passengers? Those two have already entered the tunnel. " Chen Ge could not be bothered to waste his breath on the driver. If it were not for the fact that the driver was kind-hearted, he would not have even sent the driver out. He would have blended into the 'human' crowd and followed those filthy things into the depths of the tunnel.
"There's something wrong with this tunnel. I'll send you out first. After ensuring your safety, I'll leave."
"Thank you." The driver's gratitude toward Chen Ge came from the bottom of his heart. In a situation like this, to have a living companion was something to be happy about.
"There's no need to thank me. After you get out, I hope you can keep this a secret. Do not tell a third person about what you saw tonight." Chen Ge's voice was low and hoarse, making him appear very mysterious.
After hearing that, the driver nodded repeatedly, indicating that he would do as Chen Ge said.
The two of them walked down the tunnel for three to four minutes, but they still could not see the exit.
"Something is not right." Chen Ge stopped moving and stood in the middle of the tunnel. "From the moment the taxi was pushed into the tunnel to the moment the light disappeared, it only took half a minute. At the time, the car was moving very slowly, almost as slow as a human walking. In other words, we would have needed at most one minute to get out. But now, we've been walking for three minutes, and there is still no light. "
"Yes! What is going on? " With Chen Ge's analysis, the driver broke out in cold sweat. "Could we have gone in the wrong direction? Have we gone deeper into the tunnel? "
"The front of the car is facing the deeper part of the tunnel. The direction is correct."
"Then why can't we get out?"
"You ask me, but who am I supposed to ask?" This was the first time that Chen Ge had encountered something like this. With one hand on the wall, he silently took out the black phone with his other hand.
"If only I can contact the Red Specter inside the tunnel. We had a good talk last time. It should be fine to ask her for some small help."
Chen Ge did not know the name of the Red Specter and did not know how to contact her. Thinking back to his previous mission, a bold idea appeared in Chen Ge's mind.
He swiped the black phone and clicked on the mission to go deeper into the tunnel to read the mission description again.
"Close your eyes, and perhaps you'll see a different world."
Under the driver's shocked gaze, Chen Ge tore off his sleeve.
"What are you doing?"
Chen Ge ignored the driver. He folded the sleeve several times, and after ensuring that it would not leak light, he covered his eyes.
"Brother, be normal. Don't do this." The driver stood where he was, not knowing what to do. He could not guess what Chen Ge was thinking.
"Keep quiet and follow me. If you're really afraid, you can close your eyes. "With his hand on the wall, Chen Ge continued to move forward.
