Chapter 17: The Nerves That Go Crazy
I walked to the company in a daze. It was already past six o'clock, but it was still bright outside. In summer, the days are long and the nights are short, so it would probably be around seven o'clock before it gets dark.
"Ye Yun, why are you here again? Let me tell you, that thing was left to you by Zheng Feng. It has nothing to do with me. Don't use it to harm me."
As soon as I entered the company, I heard Zhang Datou's voice from a distance. I was already in a bad mood, and after hearing this, I was even more furious. I couldn't help but curse: "Zhang Datou, bullshit. Do you think I'm like you, a coward without loyalty? Be careful, Zheng Feng will come to you tonight."
When the others saw me arguing with Zhang Datou and mentioning Zheng Feng, they were so scared that they hid away.
" Ye Yun, you are not a good person either. You are a money-grubber (dialect, greedy as life), greedy for money and lustful, narrow-minded, stingy, and you solicit customers without paying the meter."
Zhang Datou also seemed to be angry and yelled at me. This bastard, he cursed vigorously and walked towards me angrily. I couldn't help but be shocked. This guy is big and strong, and I am no match for him in a fight. I stepped back quickly, but as soon as I took a step back, I felt a sudden pain in my temple, and the nerves on it suddenly jumped rapidly.
"ah!"
I cried out in pain and instinctively reached out to press the nerve tightly, but it was impossible to stop the nerve from beating faster. I felt dizzy, staggered, and fell to the ground.
"Hey, Ye Yun, what's wrong with you? What are you doing?"
Zhang Datou yelled, but I was in no mood to pay attention to him. The nerves in my temples were beating faster and faster, and bulging outwards, feeling like they were about to burst. My forehead was hurting as if it was about to explode. I gritted my teeth and continued to increase the strength of my hand pressing on the nerves in my temples, but the pain was still unbearable.
I can’t take it anymore. I’m going to die. I can’t take it anymore. I’m finished!
"When the pain in your temple becomes unbearable, swallow this thing while reciting the soul-sucking technique I taught you before."
The old man's words suddenly rang in my ears, and my mind suddenly lit up. Without thinking too much, I took out the light ball from the shoulder bag I was carrying, opened my mouth and threw it into my mouth. Then I said:
"The taste of Dharma is immeasurable, and the darkness is not a hindrance. I will save you from the sufferings of the three evil realms and grant you the blessings of the nine mysteries. All of you will be saved, and you will turn your head to pay homage to the Yuanhuang. With one thought, you will ascend to the Taiqing, and be born in Ziwei. Collect!"
Before the voice fell, I felt a sudden gust of wind blowing around me, and at the same time, my stomach felt cold, as if I had taken a gulp of ice water, it really chilled me to the bone.
The nerves in my temples slowly calmed down and eventually returned to normal. I pressed my hands to the ground, breathing heavily, feeling like I had been through the gates of hell and back again.
"Ye Yun, what's wrong with you?"
Zhang Datou ran over and asked me with a glare. I glanced at him. Although he was being rude, I could see that he was still a little worried.
A feeling of surviving a disaster rose in my heart. I didn't expect that the light ball given by the stinky old man was really effective. I couldn't help but laugh and said, "What the hell is wrong with you? It's your nerves that are acting crazy."
"What the hell?"
Zhang Datou was stunned.
I sat down on the floor, took a long breath, glared at Zhang Datou, and said, "Nothing weird. Just a headache."
Zhang Datou frowned suddenly, obviously not believing it, and said: "You call it pain. I think you almost died. If you want to die, don't die here, otherwise I will be in big trouble."
I couldn't help but get angry and said, "Hey Zhang Datou, can you please say something nice? If I die, I promise to come to you every night."
He was frightened for a moment, obviously frightened by last night's nightmare and today's Leatherface.
I waved my hand, climbed up, patted my butt, and said, "How is my car? I have to go out tonight, otherwise I will have no money for food."
"Your car can't be driven yet. I've arranged another car for you. Come over and register."
He said this and turned to walk towards the office.
I rubbed my head and followed him. After completing the formalities, I was not in the mood to stay in the company, so I drove out of the company in a taxi. There were a lot of cars on the street at this time, so I simply parked the car at a less crowded intersection and waited until dark to pick up people.
Maybe I was tossed around a lot today, I leaned on the seat and fell asleep. In a trance, I drove the car with the pale female ghost, and she suddenly jumped on me and bit my neck. Then I saw the stinky old man again. He walked forward, and I ran towards him desperately, but I couldn't catch up with him. I hurriedly shouted: "Master, help me!"
But no matter how I shouted, the old man didn't even turn his head. As he walked further and further away, I saw the ghost girl again. She screamed strangely and rushed towards me. I turned around and ran away in fear, but after running only two steps, I felt pain all over my body.
In a daze, I got on the bus again. The little girl licking the ice cream stood next to me, looking at me with a smile. Suddenly, her mouth split open, and her whole head split in two, like a big mouth, biting my head.
“Bang, bang, bang!”
Suddenly, there was a knocking sound beside my ears, and the scene in front of me suddenly shattered. I shuddered all over and suddenly opened my eyes. I was still in the car. It turned out to be just a nightmare.
"Master, take a taxi."
A voice came from outside the car window. I wiped my sweat and turned to look. There was a little girl in sportswear standing outside the window. She was about fifteen or sixteen years old and carrying a schoolbag. She must be a student.
I opened the back door and said, "Come on in."
After the little girl got in the car, I took a few tissues to wipe the sweat off my face, then closed the window and turned on the air conditioner. Then I turned around and asked, "Where are you going?"
"Go to Fengpi Lane."
Fengpi Lane, I said the name of the destination, turned on the meter, started the car, but then I was stunned. The street where the bus crashed that day seemed to be called Fengpi Lane. What was this girl doing there? Did she live there?
"You live in Fengpi Lane?"
I asked, turning my head away.
"Hey, uncle, why are you asking so many questions? Just drive. Are you afraid that I won't pay?"
The little girl glared at me and yelled.
Damn, how could this kid be so rude? I was about to fight back when the little girl suddenly took out a Mao Zedong note and handed it to me, saying, "For the fare, no need to give me the change."
I was stunned. The girl didn't look like she was joking. I didn't want to go to that place. Thinking of the little girl licking ice cream made me feel creepy. But for this Mao Zedong, I risked my life. I'll send the girl there and then I'll leave. It shouldn't be a problem.
I took the Mao Zedong note and said with a smile, "Boss, sit down. We'll be leaving soon."
