"It's exactly two o'clock in the morning. I still have forty-four minutes."
Chen Ge walked along this road for a long time, and he felt that he was not far from the tunnel.
The trees on both sides of the road swayed from side to side, and the leaves rustled. The white cat in his arms became increasingly uneasy, its little paws tightly grasping Chen Ge's clothes.
"It seems that the white cat has noticed something." Chen Ge gently rubbed the white cat's head: "You guys, you used to be so fierce, why are you so cowardly now when you encounter a little danger?"
The white cat looked at Chen Ge pitifully. The little guy's mood at this moment might be a little complicated, and it couldn't be explained in a few words.
"You can't bring ghosts or items from haunted houses into nightmare-level missions, but the white cat has perfectly avoided these restrictions. It's not a ghost, and it dares to chase ghosts when it gets angry. It seems like I need to focus on training it in the future."
Chen Ge had an idea for the white cat: "The blood of the Ghost Story Association was originally prepared for the red-clothed person. After the white cat ate it, no changes can be seen for the time being. After I deal with the president, I will take over the 24th floor of Fanghuayuan Community. I hope I can gain something from it."
Holding the white cat, Chen Ge was glad that he had saved it. "I will encounter nightmare missions again in the future, and the white cat will definitely come in handy then."
The white cat held onto Chen Ge's clothes tightly. It was obvious that it was very dependent on Chen Ge and had a lot of affection for him: "This is considered good deeds being rewarded."
A man and a cat were walking on an abandoned road late at night. Looking at them from afar, it actually felt very warm.
The night wind blew the treetops, and the shadows of the trees on both sides of the road swayed. After walking for about twenty minutes, the temperature dropped suddenly.
There was a whistling sound in my ears, and a strange airflow rushed from the front.
"arrive."
Chen Ge slowly raised his head and looked at the tunnel that had been bored through the mountain a few dozen meters away. His pupils gradually shrank.
It was dark and deep, with no end in sight.
The corner of his clothes was blown, and Chen Ge suddenly felt very cold. It was not the coldness felt on the skin, but the chill that emanated from the depths of his mind. Every nerve seemed to be trembling.
“I haven’t felt this way in a long time.”
Chen Ge slowly approached. In front of the tunnel that was six meters high and more than ten meters wide, he looked very small.
Looking inside, it seemed that there were also terrifying monsters staring at Chen Ge in the darkness.
Without the company of his staff, Chen Ge seemed to have returned to the first time he had a nightmare mission. He stood in front of the tunnel and took a deep breath.
"A nightmare-level mission. It's really a nightmare!"
The length of the tunnel in front of him was definitely more than 44 meters. Chen Ge took out his mobile phone and shone it into the tunnel.
There were various scratches and some strange fonts on the wall. The road surface was relatively flat, but there were some animal carcasses on it.
"There is still some time before the mission begins." Chen Ge stamped his numb feet and gently patted his cheeks: "Don't panic, stay calm."
He logged into the short video platform on his mobile phone, took a few photos, and then posted a status.
The general idea is that a short video will be updated tonight, so stay tuned.
The various replies from netizens dispelled the fear in Chen Ge's heart. He leaned against the stone next to the tunnel entrance and took the opportunity to play the victim to increase the popularity of his horror house.
At around two o'clock in the morning, a person ran to the haunted tunnel to post a status, which is rare on short video platforms.
The comments section quickly became popular, until the platform administrator sent a private message to Chen Ge, begging him not to play so big in the future, as they were very worried about Chen Ge's safety.
Chen Ge replied casually, but he didn't take their words to heart. He came here just for the mission.
At 2:43 in the morning, Chen Ge exited the short video platform and stood at the entrance of the tunnel again.
“It’s about to begin.”
Chen Ge opened the video recording software on his phone, put the white cat on his shoulder, and when the time on his phone changed from forty-three to forty-four, he stepped into the tunnel.
It is much darker here than outside, like a pitch-black sea.
Once inside, the whole body was enveloped by a chilly feeling and breathing gradually became difficult.
"Chen Ge, Chen Ge..."
With each step, Chen Ge would say his own name, so that when he completed forty-four steps, the mission would be completed.
The tunnel entrance was getting farther and farther away from Chen Ge, and the light behind him became blurry until everything was submerged in darkness.
The light from the phone was like a small lamp, and Chen Ge himself was like a lost ship. All he could do now was to complete these forty-four steps.
The further he went in, the greater the pressure he felt, and his brain instinctively sent out a warning, telling him to leave immediately.
Cold sweat soaked his forehead, and his own voice echoed in the tunnel. Gradually, he could not tell who was speaking those words.
After taking the fifteenth step, the white cat in Chen Ge's arms suddenly pricked up its ears, and its heterochromatic eyes stared at the side of the tunnel.
There was a faint sound coming from deep in the tunnel, like footsteps, mixed with cries for help.
"Something is coming."
In the darkness, it seemed as if a huge spider was crawling above his head. Tiny gravel fell on Chen Ge, and his back was soaked. He resisted the urge to look and continued forward.
The thing above his head did not leave, and what was worse was that there seemed to be the footsteps of a second person behind him.
He walked unsteadily, as if his body was twisted and crooked and he couldn't walk normally.
Chen Ge maintained his speed, and the footsteps slowly approached, following less than a meter behind him.
"Chen Ge..."
He whispered his own name, and blue veins appeared on Chen Ge's back. He did not look back.
When taking the twenty-sixth step, the white cat seemed to finally see the thing in the darkness clearly and hugged Chen Ge's arm tightly.
Not far from Chen Ge, stood a woman in red.
She lowered her head, like a lunatic who had run away from a nearby village.
Her hair was disheveled, covering her face. She stood at the side of the tunnel, a few meters away from Chen Ge.
Chen Ge remained unmoved even though his clothes were scratched by the white cat. He also saw the woman, the woman that according to the legend, must not be met in the tunnel.
His calves felt numb and his palms were covered in sweat. Chen Ge tried his best not to look in the direction of the woman.
He kept staring at the darkness deeper into the tunnel. When he passed by the woman, he caught a glimpse of the woman, who had her head lowered, suddenly moving.
As if asking for help, she raised her arm and waved at Chen Ge!
A chill ran down his spine and into his brain, and Chen Ge recalled the strange stories about this woman.
Drivers who don't save her will be haunted by her until they leave the tunnel, while drivers who save her will most likely have accidents in the tunnel.
Thinking about it this way, it’s better to ignore her.
