Chen Ge had already prepared himself mentally, and no matter what happened, he would not open his eyes.

His body was submerged in darkness and the noisy sounds in his ears gradually disappeared. He felt like he was walking alone in the depths of the ocean.

Away from the loneliness of the world, facing the fear of the unknown, with confusion about the end.

All kinds of emotions surged into my heart, as if the tentacles of a sea monster were slowly strangling my body.

"I have experienced this feeling of loneliness many times. In order to prevent this kind of loneliness from happening again in the future, I must go on this time."

Chen Ge muttered to himself, not knowing whether he was speaking to others or to encourage himself.

After walking more than ten meters, Chen Ge touched nothing with his palm. When he tried for the third time, the fork in the road finally appeared again.

He did not hesitate and entered the fork in the road.

The temperature dropped suddenly, and Chen Ge didn't know if his choice was right. He had never been a particularly smart person. The reason he could get to where he is today was because of his extraordinary insight, courageous character, and the courage he had cultivated since childhood.

Touching the slippery wall, Chen Ge emptied his mind and thought of nothing.

He could only hear his own footsteps, but slowly, the footsteps that originally had a specific rhythm were disrupted, and something was following behind Chen Ge.

"Don't look, don't think."

If you can’t see it, it doesn’t exist. If you can’t think of it, it doesn’t exist.

Chen Ge comforted himself that he was not disturbed.

More footsteps gradually began to be heard in the quiet tunnel, and it seemed that Chen Ge was not the only one in this place.

The footsteps started out only behind Chen Ge, but gradually, except for the side of the wall, the footsteps were heard everywhere.

Chen Ge felt like he was being scratched by a cat. He was very curious, but he still did not take off his simple "eye mask".

After going through so much, Chen Ge had a strong ability to adapt. He quickly controlled himself and got used to the sound of footsteps.

He kept reminding himself that the things making the footsteps had no intention of hurting him. At least from the current situation, it seemed that they were just traveling with Chen Ge.

"Have I walked into a passage that only ghosts can find?" After only a few seconds, Chen Ge discovered another problem.

In addition to the sound of footsteps in the tunnel, there was also the sound of wheels rolling over obstacles.

"Did a car pass by me?" At this moment, there was only one car in the tunnel, and that was the taxi whose driver drove in: "Who started the car? Didn't the driver disappear?"

The driver who brought Chen Ge to Dongjiao was just someone Chen Ge found randomly on the street. If he said there was light between him and the Dongjiao Tunnel, it was too far-fetched and the probability was so small that it could be ignored.

"It shouldn't be the driver. Something else is driving?" Chen Ge was about to continue thinking along this line of thought when something even more incredible happened.

He could clearly hear the roar of engines, and more than one car passed by him.

"what is going on?"

With his eyes blindfolded, Chen Ge had no idea what was happening around him. He could only rely on his hearing to make judgments.

The footsteps around me gradually quickened, and those things seemed to start running in a certain direction.

"Is there something more terrifying chasing them? Or has the thing in front that attracted them finally appeared?" Chen Ge didn't know whether he should run forward with them. He was blindfolded and had difficulty moving.

After hesitating for a moment, he maintained his original speed, stretched out his hand and remained highly alert, careful at all times, using all the senses he could still use to understand this "world".

"The slippery feeling on the wall disappeared, leaving only the coldness. It also felt much smoother, as if someone had repaired it." Chen Ge wanted to take off his "blindfold" to see. He found that the world had changed since he entered the fork in the road.

The tunnel on this side of the fork in the road and the tunnel on the other side of the fork in the road lead to two different worlds.

As he continued walking forward, the tunnel became more lively. He could vaguely hear the sound of people talking. The further he walked, the louder the sound became.

But what made Chen Ge feel strange was that those people spoke very loudly and harshly, but he still couldn't understand what they wanted to express. He could only feel the emotions contained in the voice at this time - anxiety, anger, and a hint of fear.

"What happened outside?"

Chen Ge did not stop. Although he was still in the tunnel, the situation outside was completely different from before.

There were footsteps, screams, car horns, and the sounds of tires and engines. It seemed that the tunnel was still in use.

"If the tunnel hadn't been blocked, it would have been just as busy inside, right?"

Chen Ge didn't know where he was now, but there was one thing he was sure of. Everything he was going through should be related to the real owner of the Baidonglong Tunnel. There was a high probability that the other party had brought him to this place on purpose.

The surroundings became increasingly noisy, and all kinds of noises flooded into Chen Ge's mind, making it impossible for him to determine what was happening here.

All I know is that the owners of all the footsteps are moving somewhere, and all the vehicles are driving somewhere.

"Why are they going forward?" Questions came to his mind. When Chen Ge was thinking, a different voice came into his left ear.

It was too noisy around him and he couldn't hear clearly. He only knew it was a child's voice, crisp and intermittent, as if the child was injured.

Chen Ge followed the "crowd" and walked a few steps forward. The child's voice appeared again.

"wrong……"

Chen Ge stopped this time and discovered something very strange. The child's voice came from the left rear.

While all the "people" and cars were running forward, the owner of the voice stayed where he was and did not move.

If someone else came here, they might not realize this at all, but Chen Ge was different. In order to break the impasse, he kept his nerves tense and kept an eye on his surroundings.

He didn't dare speak, for fear of exposing his differences from the "people" around him.

"Save me, save my mother..."

After a few seconds, the sound appeared again, still in the same place.

"Strange, I can hear so many voices, but I can hear this faint voice most clearly." He could feel the despair contained in the other party's words. The feeling was hard to describe and made people very uncomfortable. Just hearing it made him feel heartbroken.

Turning around, Chen Ge didn't know what dangerous thing was coming from the back of the tunnel, so he instinctively moved closer to the sound.

Chen Ge moved his feet little by little, groping slowly like a blind man.

He was getting closer and closer to the child's voice, but at this moment, his shoulder was touched and someone shouted at him anxiously.

The sound was so loud that he had to leave quickly, as it seemed his life would be in danger if he stayed here.

"These people might be the souls who entered the tunnel with me just now. They are running for their lives now, so the one chasing after them might be the owner of the tunnel!" Chen Ge's train of thought was completely different from those "people" in the tunnel. He was very clear about his identity. He was just a bait, waiting for the owner of the tunnel to show up.

This is very risky, but this is the simplest way Chen Ge can think of to break the impasse. He has always been straightforward in doing things, and this is also his style.

The "people" in the tunnel obviously misunderstood what he meant. The voices around him became clearer. Those people urged him to leave and told him that if he stayed any longer, he would really die!

Facing those people's persuasion, Chen Ge remained unmoved. Soon, his ears caught a new sound, as if something was leaking, ticking, very close to him.

Seeing that Chen Ge was unwilling to leave, those who tried to persuade him left him alone and the tunnel became quiet again.

The messy footsteps disappeared, the sound of tires crushing debris disappeared, and the car horns gradually faded away. It seemed as if this tunnel had been completely abandoned by "people".

"Save me, save my mother..."

The child's voice came again from near the wall. Chen Ge groped over and slowly squatted down.

He blindfolded himself and couldn't see, and he didn't dare to speak now, for fear of unknown changes.

After pausing for a few seconds, Chen Ge stretched out his unprotected hand towards the place where the sound came from.

His fingertips touched the cold flesh, a feeling Chen Ge was very familiar with.

"It looks like blood."

He slowly exerted force and grabbed a slender arm with his five fingers.

"I'm stuck in the car window. Go save my mom first. She's in the driver's seat!"

The child's voice reached Chen Ge's ears. He did not immediately do what the child said, but suddenly thought of another thing.

The voice first sounded beside his left ear. Chen Ge heard it clearly. Now he turned around. Although the voice was still close to the wall, what he said was very strange.

"I'm stuck in the car window. How come you were talking to me from the side close to the wall? I was walking close to the wall the whole time!"

What is even more thought-provoking is that the driver left a message before he disappeared. He said that there was something very scary on Chen Ge’s left cheek.

"Coincidentally, the ghost thing the driver was talking about was on my left cheek, and the child's voice also came from that position. If the driver is not lying, the terrifying monster that frightened him should be the 'child' who is talking to me at this moment."

Chen Ge gradually realized that the driver disappeared because he saw the monster's true face and ruined his plan.

"My mother is in front, please save her, please save her?" The voice was so sad that it was hard to refuse.

"Okay, I'll help you." Chen Ge didn't know what kind of horrible face was hidden under this child-like voice. He chose to save the child's mother as requested by the other party, just because he felt it was the right thing to do.

Under the guidance of the child, Chen Ge bent over and slowly moved forward.

The ticking sound in his ears never stopped, and there was a strange smell in the air. The further Chen Ge walked, the more dangerous he felt.

With his eyes blindfolded and unable to see anything, Chen Ge could only grope his way around slowly.

His hands quickly felt the outline of a car, and bending down, his hands touched the woman's hair.

Without saying a word, Chen Ge moved his hands little by little, grabbed the woman's shoulders, and pulled her out of the overturned car.

"Take her away! Quickly! Hurry!" The child's voice became sharp after seeing Chen Ge rescue the woman. He was not like other children who cried when they were hurt. There was a maturity in his voice that his peers did not have at all.

Chen Ge had no idea what the other party was up to. He dragged the woman a few steps away and suddenly stopped.

"Go! Don't stay here!"

Chen Ge ignored the child's cries, carried the woman on his back, and returned to the child.

He couldn't see, and his hands kept groping around the car window, and he had a rough idea of ​​the child's situation.

The child's lower body was stuck in the car window, and the broken glass pierced his lower abdomen. If he was dragged forcibly, it would easily cause secondary injuries to him.

Using both hands, Chen Ge tried to lift the vehicle, but he couldn't do it by himself.

"Don't worry about me, take her away!"

I don’t know if it was because of the pain or some other reason, but the child was screaming at the top of his lungs with a crying tone.

"If I leave you here, even if your mother survives, she will suffer and blame herself for the rest of her life." Chen Ge couldn't help but speak out what was in his heart.

After he said this, the surroundings suddenly became much quieter, but soon returned to normal.

"My body is stuck and I can't get out. Hurry up and leave! Otherwise everyone will die!"

After making sure that speaking would not affect the world, Chen Ge became bolder: "I have a way that may be able to save you, but it will be very painful, and I can't guarantee that you can survive."

"What method?" As long as there is a glimmer of chance of survival, most people would try to do it.

"Your hips are stuck by the deformed car window. I can force you out, but your lower body will be crippled and your wounds may worsen." Chen Ge made a rough judgment based on his hands. It was precisely because he did not see those overly bloody scenes that he dared to come up with such a bold method: "As you said, stay here and die. Give it a try, maybe there is still hope of survival."

"But if I die during the dragging process, wouldn't you be my murderer?" the child suddenly said.

If it were in reality, perhaps Chen Ge would really hesitate, but here, he was not panicked at all: "As long as I can increase your chances of survival by 1%, what does it matter if I bear the infamy for the rest of my life?"

He lay on the ground on his side, with his feet on the deformed car window and his hands holding the child's upper body: "It will hurt a lot later, but as long as you get through it, life will start again."

The body began to exert force, and the boy's body was deformed by the pulling. The sound of bones being dislocated was extremely harsh. The child's skin was scratched and blood kept oozing out, but Chen Ge had no intention of stopping.

He used all his strength and finally pulled the child out of the deformed car window.

"Success! Are you okay?" No one answered Chen Ge, and the tunnel seemed to have suddenly become much quieter.

Chen Ge didn’t know what was going on. He vaguely felt that something was wrong—was the terrifying monster chasing him coming over?

Even at this time, Chen Ge still did not forget the woman on the ground and the child next to her, although he knew clearly that those two guys were not human.

"Something might be coming, be careful." Chen Ge carried the woman on his back and picked up the deformed child on the ground. To his surprise, the child in his arms was much heavier than the woman behind him. The two were not on the same level at all.

At this moment, he didn't bother with these things anymore and just trotted forward.

With his eyes blindfolded, Chen Ge couldn't see the road and he tripped before he ran far.

Without saying a word, he stood up, picked up the child, and continued forward with the woman on his back.

He stumbled and bumped into other people in the tunnel, and he didn't know how many times he fell. When Chen Ge stood up and was about to pick up the child, a voice sounded beside him.

"Are you a fool?" The voice was exactly the same as the child's voice just now, but the voice was no longer painful. Instead, it contained a hint of indifference and inexplicable resentment.

Chen Ge did not reply and wanted to hug the other person, but he touched nothing.

"There really are people like this in the world." The voice sounded again, this time coming from above Chen Ge's head.

Standing there in a daze, when Chen Ge didn't know what to do, his shoulder was gently patted, and a pair of ice-cold hands wrapped around his neck and untied the sleeves that were covering his eyes.

After opening his eyes, Chen Ge turned his head and found that the person standing behind him was the female ghost from the tunnel.

But compared to the last time, she looked much better. At least her skull was not cracked, and her facial features were all in the right places.

"It's you?" Chen Ge smiled and was about to go over to get closer when a huge spider shadow enveloped him.

Looking up, the smile on Chen Ge's face froze. Even though he had seen so many ghosts, he still felt a little scared at this moment.

Right above Chen Ge's head, there was a huge red spider hanging upside down, made up of countless obsessions and evil spirits.

The red color was even more eye-catching than the red clothes worn by the female ghost in the tunnel, as if blood was flowing in it and was about to drip down.

"Why aren't you talking?" The voice came from the spider's head.

Following the sound, Chen Ge discovered that the spider's head was replaced by a boy. He only had the upper body, and the lower body was the giant spider.

The boy hung upside down behind Chen Ge, his legs grasping the wall, his eyes filled with hatred and cruelty.

"It wasn't you I was hugging just now, was it?" Chen Ge's words made the boy not know how to continue the conversation. In fact, he didn't expect Chen Ge to hug him and run away together. Both the man and the ghost felt uncomfortable.

"It's okay. Ignorance is not a crime. I didn't mean it." Chen Ge made an excuse for himself with a clear conscience. Without waiting for the boy to respond, he changed the subject: "I came to discuss something with your mother. I didn't expect this to happen. I know your heart is full of hatred. I won't try to persuade you. I just think that if you need anything, I can help you achieve it, even if it's revenge."

What Chen Ge said was completely different from what the boy had imagined. He had never expected that the other party would say these to him under such circumstances.

It’s hard to speak, so I can only remain silent for the time being.

"It's okay if you don't tell me, but can you tell me why this tunnel looks like this?" Chen Ge asked the question in his mind. The White Dragon Cave Tunnel even made Shadow feel frustrated. There must be a big secret hidden here.

The boy opened his mouth. He felt that he shouldn't talk about his past so easily, but after thinking about it carefully, he couldn't find any reason to refute it. Finally, with the cooperation of the female ghost in the tunnel, the boy roughly told Chen Ge about his past.

He is the child of the tunnel ghost. A few years ago, the tunnel ghost divorced her husband and drove the child back to the countryside.

There was a car accident when passing through the Bailongdong Tunnel, a series of collisions, including a tanker truck.

It was unknown which vehicle the fire started from, but it was getting closer and closer to the tanker truck. The vehicles and people in the tunnel fled in all directions.

At that time, the child was stuck in the car window. The woman was covered in injuries and climbed out of the car, but she was unable to rescue her child by her own strength.

She cried and shouted for help from the people around her, chasing after passing vehicles, asking them to stop for a moment. If only one person would agree to help her, she would be able to pull the child out.

But when their own lives are threatened, no one is willing to take action.

The final outcome was that the woman who could have escaped did not choose to leave, but returned to the car and stayed with her children until the fire spread to the tanker.

Since then, the Bailongdong Tunnel has no longer been peaceful.

Many drivers have seen a woman in red standing somewhere in the tunnel, waving at them, hoping they would stop. Some have also witnessed a monster constantly splicing something onto its lower body...
