The taxi stopped at the exit of Bailongdong Tunnel, and Chen Ge stared at a page in the comic book in a daze.
After a long time, there was a movement from the driver's seat. Chen Ge gently opened the door and said, "You are finally awake."
He patted the driver's face and then covered his mouth. He had anticipated that the driver would scream as soon as he woke up, so he took precautions in advance.
The driver's eyes were wide open and his face was filled with horror.
"Calm down first and listen to me slowly." After Chen Ge and Spider Boy reached an agreement, they did not leave immediately. In order to waste the mission time, he stayed in the gloomy and terrifying tunnel until dawn.
After a night of exploration, he figured out a lot of things.
This tunnel is home to countless ghosts who died in car accidents. It can be said that the danger level is not much lower than that of an underground morgue. However, Shadow would do a big cleanup every time he came in. All the wronged souls that blocked his way would be taken away or eaten by him. Over time, the number of ghosts in the Bailong Cave Tunnel decreased a lot, which allowed Chen Ge to pick up an advantage.
The reason why they saw so many regrets walking into the tunnel when they first entered the tunnel was that the boy was luring them.
The boy was injured in the battle with the shadow, and the easiest way to recover quickly was to eat.
Through further conversation, Chen Ge also learned that the boy had concealed his special abilities, and his abilities seemed to be related to the giant spider body.
Chen Ge did not talk much with the boy, and for the time being he was not going to take the boy back to the horror house.
After the child pushed open the "door" in the fire, he became completely evil.
He hates everything except his mother. He is selfish and perverse. All the negative emotions that can be found in humans can be found in him. In other words, this child is far more dangerous than he appears.
Retracting his thoughts, Chen Ge looked at the panicked driver and said in a gentle voice: "It seems like we have encountered a ghost today."
Slowly letting go of his hand, Chen Ge calmly sat on the passenger seat with his backpack in hand: "Let's talk while we walk. Let's get out of this damn place first."
The driver immediately started the car, turned around and rushed to the road: "What happened just now? I remember three, no, two strange passengers got in the car, and then drove into Bailong Cave. There were many people in the tunnel banging on the car windows, and there were bloody handprints everywhere. The car broke down and the phone couldn't be reached..."
The driver felt like he was about to cry, so Chen Ge quickly tried to comfort him, "You are possessed. I got on your car from the western suburbs to visit a friend in the eastern suburbs. As a result, when you passed by a building that hadn't been occupied for a long time, you suddenly stopped the car, talked to the air, and opened the car door. Do you know that you scared me at the time?"
"You didn't see anyone?" The driver's face turned pale with fright.
"There was no one there. I just saw you talking to the air. There was something even scarier behind you. You drove a little further ahead and suddenly braked, yelling that you almost hit someone. I was curious about where the person was, but you opened the back door without asking for my opinion, and then started talking to yourself again." Chen Ge seemed to be blaming the driver: "What happened next was even more bizarre. After you finished talking to them, you drove the car directly into the Bailongdong Tunnel, and I couldn't stop you."
"I remember this part." The driver took a deep breath, and his hands and feet felt cold. "Am I really possessed? Are there really ghosts in the world?"
"I don't know if there are ghosts or not, but you scared me to death tonight." Chen Ge looked a little pitiful as he held the backpack that gave off a faint smell of blood in his hands.
"I guess I'm trapped in a maze." The driver looked at the clean car window, without a single bloody handprint on it. He never thought that it took Chen Ge and all the employees an hour to clean it up.
The driver was very nervous and felt something was wrong. He didn't say anything until he drove the car out of the eastern suburbs and then he felt relieved.
At daybreak, the driver took Chen Ge to New Century Park.
"Just stop here. One hundred, no need to give change." Chen Ge was about to get off the car, but the driver grabbed his sleeve and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Brother, are you sure you didn't see anything last night?" The driver looked back at his car and said, "Give me a definite answer, or I won't dare to drive in the future. I always feel like there's something in this car."
"Don't worry, your car is clean now, but you'd better not go to the eastern suburbs again." After saying this, Chen Ge picked up his backpack and entered the New Century Park.
"What on earth happened last night? Oh, and there's also the in-car video... What the hell? Who took the device away? This guy is really too thoughtful, isn't he?"
…
Back at the haunted house, Chen Ge entered the staff lounge and took out a black cell phone.
At dawn, he received the message that the mission was completed.
"Lucky ghost patron! Congratulations on completing the three-star difficulty trial mission Deep in the Tunnel and unlocking a new mission scene."
"Deep in the tunnel: No one knows what lies at the bottom of the tunnel."
"The mission is 20% complete, and no hidden mission reward has been obtained."
The mission completion rate was very low, only slightly higher than that of the Living Coffin Village. Chen Ge sat by the bed and thought silently: "The mission completion rate is only 20%. It seems that the boy in the tunnel is hiding something very important from me. He must have lied last night, but I don't know which of his lies are true."
The child had a heart full of malice, so it was normal for him to distrust Chen Ge. If it weren't for his mother's intervention, the boy would have even planned to hang Chen Ge.
"It seems that I need to discipline him properly in the future."
Putting away his phone, Chen Ge went underground and found the newly unlocked scene inside the Twin Water Ghosts scene.
This is a tunnel with no end in sight. Chen Ge doesn't know where it leads to. Just standing at the entrance of the tunnel makes him feel a deep chill: "The boy can only open the door on his body in the White Dragon Cave Tunnel. If I put him in my haunted house scene, I don't know if he can still open that door."
The boy was very special, he had a movable door. Chen Ge attached great importance to this, he always felt that this boy would be of great use in the near future.
After sealing the entrance to the scene again, Chen Ge planned to complete the three-and-a-half-star mission in Liwan Town, and then build these scenes into a super-large pseudo-four-star horror scene.
He already had a rough idea in his mind: "Once this huge horror scene is built, my haunted house will rise to a new level."
In order to deal with the shadow, Chen Ge hasn't enjoyed the excited and happy faces of tourists for a long time.
"The weather forecast says it will rain tonight. After dark, if I can find a red raincoat, I will go to Liwan Town tonight to try it out."
