Seeing how Lao Liu was making excuses, I felt that he was a little scared.
If that's the case, then his relaxed demeanor just now was definitely an act.
How could he be so relaxed after experiencing such a nightmare-like island tour?
Objectively speaking, I think that part of Lao Liu's composure was feigned; he was mainly in a state of panic.
"But it's really not safe for you to walk alone..."
Not only is it unsafe, but you could also be blocked by the thick fog and even swallowed up.
And if I'm not mistaken, there should still be that fake corpse inside the fog.
There is definitely more than one; there could even be many.
If someone wanted to tear Old Liu apart with this fake corpse, I reckon it would only take a few minutes.
If we were to intervene, we might be able to hold our own for a while. But Lao Liu is just an ordinary person. Even if he has all those rare treasures, he probably wouldn't be able to withstand that guy.
What effect can he possibly have by simply worshipping the Buddha statue at the very beginning?
Not only will it not work, but it is also very likely to attract other evil spirits.
After all, talking about ghosts will only invite ghosts.
We slowly got out of the car, while Lao Liu leaned against the door, looking somewhat hesitant.
"I'll be perfectly safe if I go back, but you're actually less safe here!"
Old Liu's eyes were filled with longing for the road back, almost shining with anticipation.
I watched as he glanced at the three-story building again, seemingly with a look of utter disgust.
Indeed, there are hardly any people on floors like this, and the light that just came on was eerie enough that it made us want to back out. How could someone like Lao Liu stay here for long?
"I'll give you all the money in my pocket. Mr. Liu, please, even if you don't care about our relationship, take a look at this and help us out!"
I quickly put on a smile and then reached into my pocket.
At this moment, however, Lao Liu seemed somewhat panicked.
He waved his hands repeatedly, as if he didn't want to accept my things, and there was a faint sense of embarrassment about him.
At times like this, I don't really know what to say.
They just kept digging inside.
But then I suddenly realized that I didn't have much money left in my pocket.
"Master, please stop taking out more food. We're running low on supplies!"
Lei Jijian quickly told me about it, in a very teasing tone.
I cursed Lei Jijian in my heart; he was still mocking me at a time like this.
Lei Jijian immediately fell silent.
"Master, if I had money, I would definitely give it all to support you!"
I just smiled to myself and didn't say anything.
He quickly took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it for Master Liu.
Liu Guopeng's reaction just now definitely showed strong resistance.
After all, waiting for us here is basically tantamount to suicide.
Although I have no way to change it, I still have to try.
At this moment, Old Liu waved his hands repeatedly, as if he wanted to push me away.
"Young man, what are you doing? I have it, I have this..."
Old Liu quickly leaned back, then took out his last cigarette and lit it.
Even if he gave me those cigarettes for free, I wouldn't smoke them.
However, at this moment, Lao Liu seemed to be very engrossed in inhaling.
Take a puff, then exhale a tiny smoke ring.
He seemed very comfortable and relaxed.
At this point, it seemed he had made up his mind and was determined to leave.
In that case, there will be no one to pick us up when we come back.
I watched as the smoke and flame flickered in the white light, and then Old Liu turned on the light above again.
"I have to go."
Old Liu had just finished taking a drag of his cigarette, and his throat was a little hoarse.
"If we don't leave now, my passengers will start to increase as it gets light."
You guys need to hurry up too, didn't you say your deadline is very close?
If I'm not mistaken, this deadline will be reminded again.
It will be constantly adjusted according to your actual situation…
Old Liu's words were full of meaning, and for a moment I couldn't tell whether he was telling the truth or not.
However, upon hearing this, my heart tightened again.
This means that, in addition to the deadline of this day, we may be able to bring it even earlier!
Holy crap.
How come this thing has changed so much? If what the person at the post office said at the beginning was true, I think we were determined to get it this time.
But listening to Lao Liu's repeated statements about the uncertainties, I became very uneasy.
But it seems unlikely that we can keep this person now.
I can't very well pull out the lightning sword again to threaten him.
Old Liu has at least helped us get through this fog and delivered us to the hotel, so we have no reason to harm him further.
That's not how things are done.
Moreover, this is a shallow area, where everyone should be very respectful of the rules.
I nodded, but I still felt a little uneasy. No matter what, Old Liu was indeed greedy and somewhat greedy for small gains.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have followed us to this place after I kept increasing the price he offered.
From this point alone, I can tell that this Lao Liu is absolutely driven by money, not by love.
If I were the kind of person who values relationships, he probably would have taken action the moment I first asked him to tell me about my situation.
But if it's someone like Lao Liu, no matter how much I talk to him, he definitely won't leave unless I get the money.
To be honest, we didn't overpay for the car at all.
This old Liu is not only greedy, but he's also a bit of a coward. At the beginning, when the female ghost was poking at his face, he was completely terrified.
But regardless, at least they brought us out and successfully rescued us from that white fog.
He not only saved us, but also himself, and he told us many secrets that were not explicitly stated on a superficial level.
Yiyi then took out a few bills from her pocket and handed them over.
"Mr. Liu, this is the agreed fare, plus..."
"No need to add more." Old Liu waved his hand slightly, not taking the money, but instead turning around, getting out of the car, and opening the trunk.
He then pulled out a cloth bag from inside and threw it to us.
"Take it. Although I don't know for sure, it's definitely not safe inside."
There's a pair of gloves and a small flashlight here.
