Old Liu's car drove for nearly 15 minutes, and less than five minutes later, another message popped up on his phone.
I was also looking around at the scenery. Although there was still a gloomy white fog pressing down outside, the road seemed to be a bit wider than before.
Have we already come out?
"Hey, Master, have we already passed that little path? You're being so unreliable!"
Didn't we agree that you'd be more familiar with things on the side streets? How could we still run into this situation?
If we had known earlier that there were such disgusting things, or even some kind of female ghost, lurking in the alley, we would have taken the main road!
I kept complaining and didn't give Lao Liu a friendly look.
At this moment, the driver, Mr. Liu, was scratching his head somewhat embarrassedly.
"Hehe, young man, you can't say that. If I had turned just now, that right-angle bend would have gone straight across the main road, and we might all be dead there!"
I could hardly believe my ears when I heard that I had died there.
We're being tormented by this woman, who we don't know if she's human or a ghost. We're terrified and annoyed. We're about to be driven crazy and scared to death by this bastard.
In comparison, I even feel that leaving this world peacefully is more serene.
That way, at least we won't have to live in fear on this path, constantly encountering such evil spirits!
When I relayed my thoughts to Lao Liu, his expression changed.
"Hmph, you little rascal, although you talk a big game, you should have felt it too. The road we just walked on was much more peaceful than before!"
In my opinion, we're almost out!
Old Liu's voice had gained some confidence, no longer sounding timid and hesitant as before.
Even without Lao Liu saying it, I could feel it.
For a full 15 minutes, the journey was quite smooth, without even any haphazardly placed roadblocks, and the strange person never reappeared.
"Hey, Mr. Liu, if this road leads out, the main road should too! Look in your driver group chat, isn't there someone saying that?"
Before, there was absolutely no signal in this godforsaken place.
I turned to the side, so my eyes could just see into Lao Liu's phone.
I could see it very clearly, but Old Liu's signal seemed to have grown by one or two bars, appearing faintly.
This thing was like a ray of light in the darkness; although it was only two bars, it seemed to be illuminating my way.
This scene was meant for me to see, and I was quite excited.
Finally, we have a signal!
Having a signal means being able to make contact with the outside world.
At this point, it wouldn't be unreasonable for me to call a tow truck!
It means that we are about to escape from this area.
This is our lifeline! If we were still inside the main house, we would never have received this signal.
Thinking about this, I couldn't help but slightly raise the corners of my mouth.
I quickly told Yiyi the news, and we both took out our phones almost at the same time, turned on the screens, and refreshed the network.
However, this sudden turn of events has once again plunged us back to the very bottom.
The signal disappeared again.
I couldn't help but swear.
When I checked Lao Liu's phone signal again, it started flickering.
"Master Liu, what happened to you?"
I quickly asked Lao Liu, but Liu Guopeng also seemed to know nothing about it.
I peered over to his driver's seat, wondering if he was up to something we didn't know about.
However, I could see very clearly that there was only one pinned message on his screen.
When Lao Liu felt me moving closer to him, he involuntarily shrank back.
He looked very reserved.
This is definitely a secret!
Throughout the entire journey, it seemed that Lao Liu never showed us his phone. The only time he showed it to us was after he had already swiped it out, and I only saw it in the drivers' group chat.
It could very well be in that pinned message!
Thinking of this, I was about to lean against Master Liu again, but Old Liu gave me a rather strange look, as if he was wary of me.
Without hesitation, I blatantly looked over. If this old Liu really had something fishy going on, then I wouldn't let him stay!
I've been skewed for almost the entire first half of my life before I could see things clearly.
The only message that Lao Liu pinned to the top of his chat list was a text message he sent to his wife to let her know he was safe.
This immediately shocked me.
His message is still scrolling on his phone screen, which means his cell phone signal isn't very good either.
I was the one who misunderstood them.
For a moment I felt a little embarrassed, and that's when I realized that Yiyi was pulling me back slightly from behind.
I turned to look at the girl, and she also looked like she was refusing, indicating that I shouldn't do that.
I've matured. In one breath, I slumped into the passenger seat, and now Lao Liu is definitely under even more pressure.
Forget it, as long as I keep the car under control and ensure its safety, that's enough. All that other nonsense is secondary; the priority is to get out of this thick fog!
The atmosphere in the car became a little awkward for a moment.
"Master Liu, I thought you had some secret..."
As I looked out the window at the patches of white mist, these words slipped out of my mouth without my noticing.
"Oh, it's nothing. I just wanted to talk to my wife. I was worried she would be anxious because I usually go home by this time."
I didn't say anything more, but I took out my phone again to check it. My phone was still constantly switching signals.
Regardless, that message just now definitely came from Lao Liu's phone. The fact that the drivers' messages could get through means that this place is no longer completely sealed off.
If this is truly a closed trap, even if he manages to swallow us up, we're probably on the edge of it now.
Otherwise, this signal would never have appeared.
And so, the car drove on silently for a while, and throughout the journey, I kept a close eye on the road ahead.
Apart from that, I was almost constantly refreshing my phone's signal strength, hoping to find a chance.
Suddenly, Lao Liu's hands trembled violently, and he lurched forward.
"What's going on?!"
I quickly spoke, but at that moment, I felt the car shake violently...
