Volume 3: Nightmare Attacks Chapter 0077 Torture
This gas station looks the same as the real one. If there is a difference, it is just that it is smaller in size.
"I originally thought we would have to buy two barrels of gasoline, but now we have saved ourselves the trouble."
Li Shuai was somewhat curious about this "thing" that suddenly appeared. Not only him, but Xiao Mo and the Decaying Mage were also curious. Because this gas station was not empty, there was a staff member inside it.
It was a man in his forties, wearing a signature blue work suit and a red cap. Since they approached here, the staff member's eyes have been on them, making Xiao Mo and the others feel a chill on their backs.
"I never thought there were still people working in this damn place. The world is really full of wonders!"
As soon as Li Shuai made a complaint, Xiao Mo asked Lao Gao and the other two:
"This gas station appeared out of nowhere, right? Then why are there staff here? Could it be that..."
"Oh, what else?"
Hearing this, Xiao Mo swallowed hard and quickly retracted his curious gaze.
After determining the location of the bus, the group did not rush to refuel and leave, but went to nearby shops in pairs, each buying some things they needed. As for the money for the purchase, it was Zhang Tianyi who paid. Xiao Mo wanted to refuse at first, after all, he had some money on him, but Li Shuai, who was with him, did not give in and happily accepted this favor.
"Money is a good thing, and it's given to you for free. When dealing with such a rich person, remember one thing: don't try to control him! If you don't want it, he will think you are hypocritical. If you ask for less, he will think you look down on him. This is what rich people do!
But then again, I used to be very rich, and I was much more generous than him. Otherwise, do you think I would want his little money? I would throw a bunch of money in his face, and then I would have to tell him, kid, I have no character or morality, but I have a lot of money. Do you feel uncomfortable if I throw you away? Well, if you have the ability, you can also use money to throw me away..."
"Yes, you are awesome!"
Xiao Mo had already heard this and felt he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Seeing that Li Shuai had no intention of shutting up, he had no choice but to say this. However, this sentence was very effective, and Li Shuai's mouth really shut.
"You are such a person with evil taste!"
After glaring at Xiao Mo fiercely, Li Shuai left these words and walked away quickly.
When they came back after getting ready, it was almost dark. Zhang Tianyi probably had no plans to stay overnight, so they were called into the car as soon as they came back.
When getting on the bus, Xiao Mo saw the staff member refueling the bus, inserting a fuel pipe into the fuel tank of the bus just like in real life. He walked past the "person", and the "person" turned around and looked at him straight. Just this one look made Xiao Mo feel cold all over, and his body shuddered uncontrollably. He quickly quickened his pace and got on the bus in two steps.
As soon as the "man" turned his head back, Li Shuai, who was following Xiao Mo, patted "his" shoulder vigorously. Instantly, an extremely pale face was aimed at Li Shuai's face, and his two bulging eyeballs suddenly widened a little at this time.
Looking at this bloodless face, Li Shuai's expression froze a little, but he still forced a smile and said:
"Don't get me wrong, I saw that you didn't look well, so I reminded you to put on more clothes."
After saying this reluctantly, Li Shuai hurriedly ran into the car.
"That idiot!"
Zhang Tianyi cursed in a low voice with a dark face, while Xiao Mo and the Corruption Mage sighed.
Soon, Lao Gao started the car. With a slight vibration under his feet, the gas station behind him gradually became blurred and finally disappeared from everyone's sight.
After leaving the town, the car was once again shrouded in endless darkness. The road ahead, which stretched to an unknown place, was pale and shining under the bus lights. This made Xiao Mo, who was always looking out the window, even have an illusion that the road lying quietly under their feet was really a road.
The car was surprisingly quiet, everyone just leaned back in their seats, looking out the window with their own thoughts. The one who was in charge of driving today was the Decay Mage. Originally, Lao Gao was supposed to drive, but Lao Gao seemed to have not gotten over the incident yet. He had been silent for the past few days since he woke up from the hospital. I don't know what he experienced in his dream that made this old bird who had experienced two reincarnations become so distracted.
As Xiao Mo was thinking, Li Shuai's head quietly poked over from behind. Regardless of his malicious gaze, he heard him whisper:
"You said that after a person dies, he will turn into a ghost and continue to stay with his relatives and loved ones?"
This question stumped Xiao Mo. He was stunned for a moment, and then answered uncertainly:
"Maybe. After all, even those evil spirits and ghosts exist, so this situation is not impossible."
Xiao Mo suddenly thought of Aunt Wang and other residents in the haunted house. It is undeniable that those residents had no ill intentions. Not only that, they even blocked the evil ghosts for him when they came. It can be seen that not all ghosts in this world are inhumane, there are also sincere and kind ones.
After hearing his reply, Li Shuai was silent for a few seconds, and then he asked again:
"So, do you think we can be reunited with our families after we die?"
"this……"
Xiao Mo didn't know how to answer for a moment. After thinking for a while, he replied:
"I don't know whether we will be together after death, but what is certain is that if they love you, they will definitely want you to live. Because only when you are alive can you enjoy all this."
“But what if the living lost everything?”
"I think it would be worse than death..."
Xiao Mo answered in a voice that only he could hear.
Although the two of them kept their voices low, someone still heard it all. This person was Lao Gao, who was only one seat away from them.
Just as Xiao Mo guessed, Lao Gao was greatly stimulated by this incident, enough to make him collapse.
As far as human beings are concerned, everyone will make mistakes in their life. Some are trivial mistakes, which may be forgotten after a good night's sleep. Some are big mistakes, which may hurt yourself or someone else. In short, every time you think of these mistakes, you will regret it secretly, but they will fade away with the passage of time, or even be completely forgotten.
However, there is another mistake that lies in between these two. For some people, time is their antidote, which will make them forget any unpleasant experience. But for others, time is a heartbreaking poison. As they grow older and mature in mind, those unpleasant experiences will become more and more fresh in their memory.
Unfortunately, Lao Gao is one of the latter. Over the years, especially after he became an escapee and learned that there really is revenge from evil spirits in the world, his nerves have been tortured. This torture comes from the regret for his mistakes and the fear of revenge.
He didn't want to die, and didn't want to be disturbed by these things, so for a long time, he tried his best to forget this experience. In fact, he was very successful. This incident had not appeared in his mind for a long time. He even forgot that he was a murderer!
However... that nightmare made him recall everything. Even though he knew it was just a dream, he just couldn't wake up. That person had been wandering behind him, telling him the stories of that time.
Now, many days have passed since that nightmare, but the voice of that person has not disappeared. The experience at that time also appears in his mind again and again, like a single song replaying. Whether he closes his eyes or opens them, the scenes at that time are in front of him, everything is so clear.
