Chapter 31 Robbery
Deng Xiaolin was trying her best to keep her voice down.
However, her inner control allowed the man in the driver’s seat to hear what Deng Xiaolin said.
The man turned and glanced at them, smiled, and said nothing.
Although the man with the square face showed no abnormality, Deng Xiaolin’s senses told her that this was definitely not human!
The interior of the car was like an ice cellar, and Deng Xiaolin could even feel her breath turn into white mist, as if she were in winter.
And in her ears, more and more voices began to appear, like arriving at a bustling marketplace.
Through the window, Deng Xiaolin always felt that shadowy figures resembling humans were appearing outside, hidden in the darkness, watching her with greedy and ugly eyes.
Seeing this, Deng Xiaolin began to panic. She grabbed Liu Haoyu’s arm and typed a line of text on her phone.
“That person is a ghost!”
“I know,” Liu Haoyu said calmly, “Driver, you took a wrong turn.”
“Hehe…”
The driver, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke.
His voice, which had been so clear before getting in the car, was now like an old, tattered recording tape, hoarse and chilling.
“Ten years ago, on this same road, the weather was similar to today,”
“I was driving, and then I saw someone by the roadside asking for help,”
“When I stopped and prepared to take him to Jiangquan City, a wanted notice played in the car,”
“Please be careful not to let anyone wearing blue clothes get in the car…”
“And at this moment, the person in my back seat said, as if joking.”
“Master, look, I just put on a set of blue clothes, what a coincidence, right?”
Upon hearing such a bizarre statement, Deng Xiaolin’s face turned even paler with fright. She tightly gripped her peach-wood sword and nestled close to Liu Haoyu.
Liu Haoyu looked at the rearview mirror and found that the square-faced man’s complexion was gradually turning gray, his lips were pale, and his eye sockets were sinking little by little.
Even more terrifying was that patches of purple marks began to appear on his face.
These were rigor mortis spots.
At the same time, white mist formed on the car window, and blood-red handprints appeared one after another, as if they were the blood-red handprints left by victims trying to escape from the car. These blood-red handprints quickly turned black, emitting a rotting stench.
Concurrently, marks from what appeared to be sharp instruments began to appear on the driver’s neck. His neck started to break little by little, dark blood continuously seeping from the wound, and his square face began to look terrifying and hideous.
Rot spread from the wound on his neck to his entire body, until his flesh and blood were peeling off piece by piece.
When the man turned his face, his cheeks had already rotted through, filled with disgusting maggots.
Bare white bones were exposed to the air, even his teeth were not spared. His mouth was no longer like that of a normal person, his jaw had completely detached, leaving only a thin connection of flesh to his upper jaw.
As he made eye contact with them, a very strange smile appeared on his face.
“See, am I quite similar to that victim driver?”
Saying this, he pulled out a blood-stained fire axe from somewhere.
This was the murder weapon that had killed him.
Seeing that this man was about to make a move, Liu Haoyu endured his nausea and said.
“I haven’t seen it, I don’t know.”
“Hahaha! You will know soon! Go to hell with me!”
Bloodstains like spots spread rapidly inside the car, and numerous tragic blood-red handprints appeared on the car.
It was evident that the people in this car had experienced unimaginable despair and terror in their lives.
The driver, transformed into a fierce ghost, raised the fire axe high, and just as he was about to swing it down, he saw…
The man in the back row took out a terrifying Zhenlei Talisman.
And the young girl next to him, aimed the seemingly dangerous peach-wood sword at herself.
Seeing the items in their hands, the fierce ghost’s ferocious smile froze, and even the fire axe did not fall.
After an awkward silence lasted for a full three seconds, the fierce ghost quietly sat back and placed his hands back on the steering wheel.
I’ve behaved, please let me go.
“Stop the car.”
After Liu Haoyu uttered these four words, the square-faced man steadily parked the car by the roadside.
“Please, have a good trip.”
Who knew that by casually picking up two people, he would pick up two ghost hunters?!
The driver’s remaining instinct told him that if he didn’t want to be transcended, he better not provoke these two.
“Who said we were leaving?”
Liu Haoyu’s words made the ghost a little confused, and then he continued to speak.
“This car is mine now.”
Upon hearing this, the driver almost couldn’t process it. After a storm of thoughts in his brain, he dazedly pointed at himself.
“My car?”
“Nonsense, whose else would it be? Get out.”
The driver’s big head was filled with confusion at this moment.
He had met many people, but this was the first time he saw someone robbing the dead!
Thinking of this, his heart was filled with anger, and he cursed.
“You’re bullying ghosts too much! I…”
Just as he was about to flare up, he saw Liu Haoyu take out a second Zhenlei Talisman from his pocket.
At this, the driver had no choice but to open the car door without hesitation, take his fire axe, and get out of the car.
He even wiped off the black blood on the seat.
“Wait a moment.”
But before he could walk far, Liu Haoyu called out to him.
The driver roared indignantly.
“What else do you want?!”
“Sorry, I don’t have any appliances at home yet. I need your axe to chop firewood.”
“…”
As the driver hesitated, he saw Liu Haoyu’s hand reach into his pocket again, as if he was about to take out something else. Frightened, he quickly put the fire axe back into the car and scrambled away.
With nothing in his hands, the driver watched the departing car, lost in the wind.
Meanwhile, in the car, Liu Haoyu took hold of the steering wheel and skillfully drove the small car back along the original route.
As the supernatural phenomena had receded, all the bloodstains in the car had completely disappeared. The once bone-chilling temperature had also warmed up considerably, and even the night breeze felt warm.
“Do you want to go ghost hunting with Hao-ge again next time?”
“Farewell, farewell!”
Deng Xiaolin shook her head like a rattle drum.
After sending Deng Xiaolin back to the dormitory, Liu Haoyu looked at the sky as it was not yet dawn.
So, he decided to go to the repair shop to pick up his motorcycle, and also to repair this old car, perhaps it could still be used after a renovation.
Wouldn’t that mean he would have a car and a house?
He lost only a wife for a perfect life.
Liu Haoyu sighed self-deprecatingly and shook his head secretly.
These were just casual remarks, jokes.
Who would want to be with someone in a profession where one could die at any moment?
“Master, please repair this car.”
At the repair shop, after tinkering for a while, the repairman’s movements stopped.
“Boss, let’s put the car repair problem aside for now…”
The repairman said as if he had seen a ghost.
“I just want to ask, this car doesn’t even have an engine, how did you drive it here?”
