"Here it comes, where is it?"
Upon hearing the news that a ghost was coming, Tan Xuan was not surprised but happy. He looked around immediately and even unbuckled his seat belt because it was inconvenient to move.
"She's at the intersection behind." Jiang Yingyue said in a low voice. Although they had finally waited for their prey, he was not as excited as Tan Xuan. Even though he said he was not afraid, his heart was beating fast and he couldn't calm down just by saying so.
Tan Xuan turned his head and saw the female ghost in white at the intersection. Although it was hiding far away and very hidden, there were only a few people on the street, and its white dress stood out under the street lights. When Tan Xuan looked at it, it was also looking in the direction of the car. After their eyes met, the female ghost in white shuddered, then turned and left.
"You want to leave? There's no way."
Tan Xuan turned the car around on the spot and stepped on the accelerator to chase after the female ghost.
The female ghost walked very fast, and you couldn't see her legs moving, but her speed was much faster than that of ordinary people. However, her feet still couldn't outrun the four wheels, and Tan Xuan quickly closed the distance with the female ghost.
"Run! I'll see where you can run to. It would be best if you could take me to your new lair. I'll kill you all."
Tan Xuan said so and thought so, rolling down the car window with a smug smile on his face. He was in no hurry to catch up with the ghost girl, and with the girl he liked sitting next to him, he was more inclined to play with her.
Suddenly, a red light flashed in front of him, and Tan Xuan hurriedly braked the car. It turned out that he was so happy that he didn't notice that he had reached the intersection, and there were police stopping cars one by one at the intersection for inspection.
"What's going on?" Looking at the female ghost's figure getting farther and farther away, Tan Xuan cursed in his heart.
A policeman walked up to the car and saluted Tan Xuan, "Hello, please show me your driver's license and vehicle registration."
"Here." Tan Xuan quickly handed his ID to the police. The other party was just doing their job, so he could only cooperate and hope that they would let him go as soon as possible.
Unfortunately, the policeman did not let him think immediately. Seeing the drunk driving detector was handed to Tan Xuan, he said, "Please blow it."
Tan Xuan was very obedient, so he was so anxious that he was about to smoke, but he still blew hard at the device in the police's hand.
"Okay, thank you for your cooperation."
The police saluted again, indicating that Tan Xuan could pass.
Tan Xuan was not polite either. The female ghost was about to be out of sight, so after getting permission, he started the car and was about to leave.
"etc!"
Before Tan Xuan could step on the accelerator, the policeman reached out and stopped him.
Tan Xuan let out a long breath, and asked patiently, "What's wrong again, officer?"
The police pointed at Tan Xuan and asked, "Where is your seat belt?"
"ah!"
Tan Xuan looked down and found that his seat belt was not fastened. He quickly buckled it and said to the police with an apologetic look: "I'm sorry, I was in a hurry and forgot to fasten it."
"There's nothing to be embarrassed about. You should take care of your own safety. Not wearing a seat belt will result in a fine of 50 yuan, but no points will be deducted." The policeman said as he tore off a ticket and threw it into the car.
"I know, I know." Seeing that the police no longer stopped him, he hurriedly drove across the intersection.
After passing the intersection, Tan Xuan was even more angry because the figure of the female ghost in white had disappeared without a trace. The street was clean and there were few people, let alone ghosts.
"Damn it!" Tan Xuan couldn't help but curse and slammed the steering wheel hard . It felt like he had been busy for half the night in vain. He finally made a discovery and was about to gain something, but in the end all his efforts were wasted.
Jiang Yingyue looked at Tan Xuan. She was also a little bit unable to accept this sudden change of reality, but she was not as angry as Tan Xuan. She whispered: "How about we go forward along this road and look for her? We haven't wasted too much time. Maybe she hasn't gone far."
"This is the only way. If we let it soak again today, it will probably not dare to approach our car when it sees it in the future."
Tan Xuan continued to shine the light forward, but before he knew it, the speed of the car gradually increased. There was no way, the duck in his mouth flew away, Tan Xuan's heart could no longer be as calm as before, he wanted to catch the female ghost immediately and ask her the mastermind behind it, and then kill her on the spot.
Unfortunately, God didn't seem to want Tan Xuan to succeed so easily. After chasing to several intersections, he still couldn't find the white-clothed female ghost. In addition, fog had formed by the river at this time. The fog spread from the river to the roads on both sides, making the visibility on the road even worse.
The fog was getting heavier, and even the street lights were becoming increasingly blurry. Jiang Yingyue looked outside the car for a while, and said worriedly, "It's foggy, and it's even harder to find it. How about we go back first?"
Tan Xuan did not continue to insist, although he did not want to give up, but that was the fact. After all, safety was the most important thing. If something else happened because of this, it would not be worth it.
"Well, it looks like the fog will go away soon. I'll turn around when I get to the next intersection and we'll go out again tomorrow night. I don't believe we'll never see it again."
After Tan Xuan expressed his attitude, he slowed down the car.
"Hey!" Jiang Yingyue suddenly exclaimed, then pointed to the road ahead and said, "Look, is that her?"
Tan Xuan looked in the direction of Jiang Yingyue's finger and saw a figure in the fog ahead. After turning on the high beam, Tan Xuan immediately confirmed the identity of the figure.
"Yes, that's it!"
The one not far ahead was the female ghost they had been looking for. Her white dress and black hair were the best signs of her. But no one knew when she had run to this side of the road, and no one knew if she was tired. She was now sitting on the railing by the road to rest. Her hair was disheveled, covering her face. She seemed to be constantly paying attention to her surroundings, appearing very careful.
The female ghost in white also discovered Tan Xuan and the others, and immediately jumped down from the railing, turned around and ran into the fog. Her speed was so fast that it was at least twice as fast as before she lost them, and she disappeared in an instant.
"So you are here. Let's see where you can run this time. I don't believe there are people checking cars ahead." Tan Xuan stepped on the accelerator and the car rushed forward.
"Ah, be careful!" Jiang Yingyue in the car was already frightened by the strong push on her back without the police stopping the car.
"Tan Xuan, slow down. The road conditions are bad now. It's too dangerous to drive too fast..."
Tan Xuan didn't listen to Jiang Yingyue's shouting. The target was right in front of him, so why would he care so much?
"It's okay. Don't worry about my driving skills. I have to get rid of it today, so it won't hurt people again and again."
"No, it's too dangerous, brake quickly..."
After chasing for a few minutes, Tan Xuan stopped the car. Not only did he fail to catch up, but the key point was that he saw Jiang Yingyue's face turned pale due to fright and she was about to cry. His heart was instantly filled with guilt.
"I'm sorry, I was too anxious to catch up with the female ghost and didn't pay attention to your feelings, so I scared you." Tan Xuan looked at Jiang Yingyue and said very remorsefully, "I thought that as long as I got rid of them, you would be safe, but I didn't expect to scare you and put you in danger. It's my fault..."
"It's okay, I don't blame you..." Jiang Yingyue, who hadn't completely recovered from the shock, was still a little scared, but she didn't blame Tan Xuan at all . She said with a comforting and pleading tone: "I know you are doing this for me, but I don't want you to be so reckless, okay? Don't be impulsive."
As she spoke, Jiang Yingyue stretched out her left hand and pressed on Tan Xuan's right hand which was holding the gear lever.
Tan Xuan's body trembled, then he nodded solemnly, "Okay, don't worry, I will definitely protect your safety."
Jiang Yingyue took back her hand that was pressing on Tan Xuan's hand, and reminded him with a red face: "Then let's chase her quickly, otherwise the female ghost will run away again."
"Yeah." Tan Xuan nodded, and the car started again, and the speed was much slower. Just now, the speed of the car was not enough to catch up with the female ghost, and now it was so slow, it would be really strange if it could catch up with her. Tan Xuan knew that he was suffering, but he could only know it in his heart.
The fog covered the entire street, and it was getting thicker. Even with the high beam on, I could only see less than 20 meters in front of the car. At this time, I could not see any other vehicles in any direction, front, back, left, or right.
Jiang Yingyue suddenly pointed to the side and shouted, "Hey! That female ghost is over there. She looks exhausted."
Tan Xuan looked up and saw that the female ghost was indeed squatting on the side of the road, but when it was dazzled by the car lights, it stood up and ran away again.
Tan Xuan gently stepped on the accelerator and chased after the female ghost, honking the horn twice in an annoying way. "Run, it's best to kill you directly, because you are the only one in the world."
Cats only kill mice when they are tired of playing with them. Tan Xuan is not in a hurry to catch up with the female ghost. The night is long, and it would be boring if it ends too early. What's more, the fog is thick. What if it panics and runs along the street? It will be even harder to find it.
"No!" Tan Xuan's heart trembled and he slammed on the brakes.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Yingyue looked at Tan Xuan in confusion, not knowing what he was doing so startled.
"You're taking the wrong path." Tan Xuan frowned and said with a gloomy face.
Seeing that Jiang Yingyue didn't understand , Tan Xuan continued, "We haven't encountered any traffic lights since we were stopped by the police for drunk driving. Don't you think it's strange? I was just thinking about chasing that female ghost, and now I realize that we have been chasing for a while. According to common sense, there are many traffic lights on this road, and we can't completely block the light of the traffic lights in this fog."
Once reminded, Jiang Yingyue also discovered the problem and looked at Tan Xuan in panic, "That's right, then what's going on?"
Tan Xuan laughed dryly twice and said, "It's very simple. We have been tricked by that female ghost. It's really hard to guard against."
After saying that, Tan Xuan rolled down the car window and shouted at the thick fog on the roadside: "Am I right? You painstakingly led us here. Isn't it time to show up now? The fog is bright but there is not much moisture. This is too fake. It's better to remove these tricks to avoid being laughed at."
"Ha ha……"
A triumphant laugh came from the thick fog, and then the fog gradually dissipated, revealing the half-full moon in the sky, and also revealing the real scenery around. It was still by the river, but no longer in the city. On one side of the road was the river, with a light mist on the river surface, and on the other side of the street lamp was a series of not very high mountains. At this time, there were more than a dozen shadowy figures surrounding the roadside.
Jiang Yingyue looked at the figures around her and knew they were not real people. She murmured in panic, "How come our identities have been switched all of a sudden? I didn't expect that we would become their prey all of a sudden."
