Chapter 14 A Mirror Blessed by a Master
“Driver, take this small road.”
“Okay.”
Under Liu Haoyu’s guidance, the driver turned from the wide highway into a country road.
This country road was very narrow, only wide enough for one car.
Fortunately, there weren’t many cars on this road at night, so there was no need to worry about oncoming traffic.
It was just that the night was too quiet.
Quiet to the point of being terrifying.
The bright moonlight cast a pale frost over the entire world.
The hitchhiking driver, Meng Hao, was taking this kind of road for the first time in his life.
Normally, there weren’t many cars on this road during the day, let alone at night.
It was eerily desolate.
The surrounding dark forests seemed to have countless eyes, making Meng Hao’s heart pound.
Adding to that, the little brother in the back seat hadn’t said a word since getting in the car.
This made the already dim car interior even more oppressive.
As they went deeper, the car was driving into an increasingly remote area.
Meng Hao’s heart began to feel uneasy.
He started to worry that he might have encountered someone who trafficked people for organs.
And… come to think of it…
It seemed like this young man wasn’t carrying a fishing rod or anything similar when he got into the car?
Could his guess be correct?
Meng Hao secretly swallowed.
Immediately, he opened the car window a little. The cool night breeze blew in, relieving his nervous emotions.
The man in the back was only giving directions and didn’t seem like he wanted to chat.
An eerie silence permeated the cabin, so quiet it was stifling.
The road ahead grew darker and more terrifying, with the moonlight completely obscured by the trees.
Meng Hao’s heart sank to his stomach. He secretly swallowed and was filled with regret.
He shouldn’t have taken this job!
This two hundred yuan was a bit too risky!
But it’s okay… it’s okay…
The rearview mirror in the car was a silver mirror blessed by a master exorcist. Ordinary ghosts and monsters wouldn’t dare to approach his car.
To alleviate the terrifying and dark atmosphere, Meng Hao quietly turned up the volume of the radio.
It was past 3 AM, and the radio was playing “Midnight DJ.”
Listening to the cheesy music that said, “I am Midnight DJ, will you love me?” inexplicably made Meng Hao feel even more terrified.
He tried to switch to another station, but no matter how he tried, other stations seemed to have lost their signal, with no response.
Even the original station was intermittent, accompanied by crackling static.
“If… I… will you… love me?”
As he faced this static, Meng Hao’s hair stood on end.
And then, something even more terrifying happened.
Whether it was a problem with the old radio or a ghost, Meng Hao couldn’t tell.
No matter how Meng Hao turned the volume knob, it wouldn’t budge.
It kept repeating that sentence over and over again.
“If I… D… will you… me…”
Again and again, it repeated as if there were no next line of lyrics.
Meng Hao was starting to panic. He glanced at the man behind him in the rearview mirror.
But the moment he looked, his mind went blank, and he almost screamed.
Next to the young man sat a very small girl.
Because of the veil, Meng Hao couldn’t see her face.
When did she get into the car?!
Could it be…
Meng Hao’s forehead was covered in cold sweat. He quickly looked forward, daring not to look back again.
And after seeing the girl, the stuck radio let out a “crackle” and then went completely silent.
The radio was broken.
The car cabin fell into a deathly silence.
No, no…
Maybe he just didn’t notice? It’s normal to miss something late at night, right?
Thinking this, Meng Hao gathered his courage and glanced at the rearview mirror again.
The young man had his eyes closed, arms crossed, leaning on the seat as if resting.
On the other hand, the girl in the red wedding dress sat beside the man, her hands on her knees, her body sitting up straight.
She looked very ladylike, but also a little uneasy.
If you ignore the red wedding dress, these two might even be a couple.
Are they here to cosplay in the middle of the night?
But the problem was, this red wedding dress was too creepy!
Its vibrant, blood-like color was constantly piercing Meng Hao’s already frayed nerves.
To gather his courage, Meng Hao placed his hand on the radio again and fiddled with it a few times. It worked again.
The DJ on the radio was hyped.
However, at that moment, a chilling gaze fell upon Meng Hao.
Meng Hao felt the gaze and looked into the rearview mirror again.
The moment their eyes met, Meng Hao felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, his whole body trembling uncontrollably.
Moreover, Meng Hao noticed the skin tone of the girl’s exposed hand.
It was as fair as if she had never been exposed to sunlight.
It was even a bit pale.
This didn’t look like the hand of a living person, did it?
Thinking this, Meng Hao could clearly feel his legs weakening.
He frantically tried to recall the scene of Liu Haoyu getting into the car.
But no matter how hard he recalled or thought about it, he remembered it very clearly.
When he got into the car earlier, there was only a young man by the roadside, no one else!
Let alone such a vibrant red wedding dress. If there had been, he would have noticed it immediately!
So the question is, when did she get into the car?
“It’s okay, it’s okay, it’s okay…”
As Meng Hao kept self-hypnotizing, the radio only emitted static.
He wanted to turn it off, but he couldn’t. At the same time, the gaze from behind him never shifted.
The girl was staring at him intently.
Although she didn’t speak, her eyes seemed to urge him to turn off the radio quickly.
Stop rushing me! My dear lady!
Meng Hao cried out inwardly, his trembling hands itching to throw the radio out of the car.
But he couldn’t bring himself to do it.
“Driver, we’re here.”
These four short words were like heavenly music to Meng Hao.
He had never felt such wonderful and heartwarming words.
Even if the person speaking was male.
Enjoying the thrill of escaping a brush with death, he immediately stopped the car and said with a strained laugh.
“Okay, have a good trip, little brother.”
Under the observation of the rearview mirror, Li Haoyu got out of the car, followed by the girl in the red wedding dress.
But… why was she floating out?!
Meng Hao’s mind went blank. He quickly turned his head to look.
But he found that there was no one behind the young man!
“Holy sh*t!!!”
Meng Hao let out a sharp scream, instinctively stepped on the accelerator, and the car shot forward like a launch.
