"Enter the deepest part of the tunnel before midnight. Does this deep part refer to the innermost part of the tunnel?" The mission requirement was very vague, and Chen Ge was a little undecided.
If the trial mission fails, the corresponding scene will never be unlocked, so Chen Ge doesn't dare to take the risk: "I can only try to walk into the tunnel as far as I can."
Chen Ge had already looked for information about the Bailongdong Tunnel. Most of the information that could be found on the Internet was related to the female ghost in the car accident.
In other words, people only know that there is a female ghost in Bailong Cave who rides on passing vehicles. Other things like spider shadows and strange breathing sounds cannot be found on the Internet.
"Let's go and take a look before it gets completely dark." Because the Bailongdong Tunnel had experienced many traffic accidents, city experts had studied it and had closed it for reconstruction many times. But the strange thing was that no matter what modifications the experts made, accidents would still occur as long as the tunnel was open to traffic. In the end, there was nothing they could do but to close the entire tunnel.
It is said on the Internet that the tunnel has been modified three times and countless minor changes. Some people also suggested mixing black dog blood in the walls and burying black donkey hooves in the corners, but unfortunately it was useless.
The situation inside the tunnel was quite complicated, so Chen Ge did not dare to be careless.
Carrying his bag and locking the door of the haunted house, Chen Ge hurriedly left New Century Park and took a taxi to the Bailongdong Tunnel in the eastern suburbs.
With previous experience, Chen Ge did not dare to tell the driver directly that he wanted to go to Bailong Cave this time. Instead, he tactfully asked him to drive to a fork in the road near Bailong Cave.
The original purpose of building Bailong Cave was to connect Jiujiang and Xinhai City and become a new transportation hub.
The eastern suburbs are surrounded by rivers and mountains. If one wants to boost the economy of the eastern suburbs, a road must be opened, but this road often has problems.
An old man from Jiujiang said that Jiujiang is a land of outstanding people and beautiful scenery, with nine major rivers forming a Feng Shui situation of nine dragons playing with a pearl. Digging a road through the mountains in the eastern suburbs might leak the spiritual energy of Jiujiang, so strange things keep happening on that road.
No one believed this statement at first, but after so many strange things happened, the authorities changed their minds and closed the Bailong Cave.
Night enveloped Jiujiang. The further we drove to the eastern suburbs, the fewer vehicles there were on the road. There were also fewer high-rise buildings around, and the houses looked a little shabby.
Crossing the old city, the driver was very enthusiastic and chatted with Chen Ge all the way.
The Bailongdong Tunnel is on the edge of the suburbs. Before the driver arrived, there was no car to be seen on the road.
On the narrower road, you can only see a street lamp at intervals. Perhaps because this road is sparsely populated, the road maintenance is not in place. You can often see some debris on the road surface, and many street lamps on the roadside are damaged.
"I just hate driving towards the eastern suburbs. The locals are very xenophobic and often throw things on the road. It's not so bad for an experienced driver like me, but if a young person comes here, it's easy for an accident to happen." The driver complained casually.
"Those things may not have been thrown away by the locals." Chen Ge has been to the edge of the eastern suburbs many times. This place gives him a strange feeling that refuses living people to approach.
The taxi was getting closer and closer to the Bailongdong Tunnel, and the scenery on both sides became more and more desolate. The buildings were replaced by endless trees, with only one or two houses occasionally.
"Just stop here." Chen Ge didn't want to make things difficult for the taxi driver, so he decided to take some time to walk there. It was still early anyway.
"Are you sure? There's no village or shop in this place, and there's not even a single person." The driver tried to persuade Chen Ge, but he handed the WeChat scan code sign to Chen Ge.
Chen Ge also knew that the other party might just be being polite and scanning the code to pay, but just as he was about to get off the car, the driver sitting in the main driver's seat suddenly said: "Why is there a woman here?"
Following the driver's gaze, Chen Ge spotted a woman squatting in front of a dilapidated house on the left side of the road.
She had only one shoe on, and the hem of her skirt was torn. She was squatting in front of a house with her head lowered, as if looking for something.
The driver opened the window and stuck his head out of the car.
The woman had a thin body, slender arms, and her yellow and white skirt was wrinkled, as if it had been rubbed hard by someone.
"Hey! Why are you here alone?" The driver spoke directly without asking Chen Ge's opinion.
When the woman on the roadside heard the driver's words, she slowly raised her head, her black hair fell down, revealing a pale face.
She has an average appearance, but as the saying goes, a fair complexion can conceal a hundred flaws; she gives people a special sense of beauty.
The woman didn't say anything. She slowly stood up and walked straight towards the taxi without saying a word.
The bottom of her skirt was torn and covered with dust and dead leaves. She only had one shoe and there were wounds on her calves. But what was strange was that there was no blood oozing from any of the wounds on her body.
"Is this girl mentally ill?" When normal people encounter such a situation on the roadside, they rarely associate it with ghosts, and the driver is no exception.
“Bang!”
The car window was tapped, and before I could react, the woman had already walked to the side of the taxi. She stared at the driver expressionlessly, tapping on the car window continuously with her hands.
If a person was walking on the road at night and someone tapped on the car window like this, he would definitely be scared, but the driver's behavior was a little abnormal. He smiled at the woman outside the car window and said as if talking to himself: "It's okay, don't be afraid, I'll take you home."
As he said that, he opened the car door and the woman sat in the passenger seat.
"What's going on?" Chen Ge sat in the back seat and looked towards the front of the taxi.
After getting in the car, the woman lowered her head and didn't say a word, but the driver kept talking to himself, as if he was talking to the air, which looked very strange.
"You're married?"
"I have zero tolerance for domestic violence. If it happens once, there will be a second time. I will never tolerate it."
"I can understand you running away from home. It's so pitiful."
"Are you going to your parents' house? Yeah, no problem."
Finally, Chen Ge couldn't bear it any longer. He took out a ballpoint pen from his backpack and wrote a sentence on the back of the card with the QR code printed on it: There is something wrong with that woman.
After writing, he handed the sign to the driver: "Master, this QR code can't be scanned! Can you check if there is any damage on the sign?"
"No problem?" The driver looked at the sign for a long time without looking behind it: "How about Alipay?"
After saying that, he took out another sign and handed it to Chen Ge.
Without picking up the sign, Chen Ge glanced at the co-pilot: "Are you going to take this girl home? Where is her home? Maybe we are going the same way. It would be free if you take her alone. If you take me along, I will pay you for the ride."
The driver thought about it and realized, "She lives in a nearby village. We have to go further. It's even more desolate over there. I guess it's not on your way, right?"
"What a coincidence. I'm going that way too. Just drive and let her and I get off together." Chen Ge unzipped his backpack and reached his hand inside.
