I am a full-level celestial master, you let me enter the strange talk of rules?

Her voice echoed through the tunnel, piercing the deathly silence.

After a while, the sightseeing bus rushed out of the tunnel.

Light reappeared, though it was only a dim, gray daylight, but it was enough to put people at ease compared to the darkness in the tunnel.

The woman in the white dress was the first to react, turning to look at the woman in gray: "What happened?! What just happened?!"

The woman in gray was deathly pale, her hands covering her neck.

She stretched out her neck, revealing a shocking pinch mark.

The bluish-purple finger marks were deeply imprinted on her neck, as if she had been pinched hard by something.

Her voice trembled as she said, "Something! Just after entering the tunnel, something choked my neck. I couldn't see it or sense it; I only knew it when it was being choked."

The woman in the white dress gasped.

The old man in the suit looked grave.

The mouthless creature subconsciously touched its neck.

They all seemed to realize that there was something wrong with the tunnel.

The tunnels in the mountains are like a special area with special rules.

In the darkness, some unseen entity attacks the people in the car, specifically targeting their necks.

Looking at the strangulation marks on the gray-clad woman's neck, Zhang Yangqing already had a guess in his mind.

Does this mean that headless drivers are to be "manufactured" in this way?
He recalled Rule 10: "If you need a ride to a strange city, look for headless drivers. Only they can take you to your destination. Once in the car, do not ask any questions and do not look in the rearview mirror."

The scene in the tunnel just now was probably a warning to the Chosen Ones that there are strange "special passengers" in the tunnel who attack people on the train, and specifically target the neck.

The solution is to first figure out why the woman in gray was attacked and what conditions would trigger the "special passenger" to attack her neck.

Then, apply the same conditions to the driver.

The driver was attacked and lost his neck, becoming a headless driver.

Only a headless driver can get them to their real destination.

If we take stock in this way, then the logic makes sense.

Actually, at this stage, if the chosen one can bring that gambler, Wuxin, and Weiwei onto the bus, he will give some hints.

However, the ability of the strange consciousness is very poor; it only has strength. The heartless strange consciousness does not trust him, so it only gave some advice and did not intend to get on the bus.

Moreover, in the previous stage, some passengers could have been 'left behind', but the eerie consciousness didn't leave a single one, resulting in very little information in this stage.

This is why Zhang Yangqing was able to "take over" someone else's account.

The difficulty is increasing, and it's not good for this guy to mess things up.

It would be better for Zhang Yangqing to do it himself, since what was originally a simple process has been made more difficult by the strange consciousness.

It wasn't that Zhang Yangqing looked down on him; he knew his abilities, which was why he didn't want him to take risks.

However, Zhang Yangqing remained calmly seated, as if nothing had happened.

The woman in gray calmed herself down, stood up and walked to Zhang Yangqing's side, her attitude respectful to the point of humility: "Great Master, what should I do?"

She is now completely dependent on this "ticket seller," and in her eyes, Zhang Yangqing is her only hope.

After all, she had no clue about the attack and couldn't get out of the car, as the place might be even more dangerous.

The woman in the white dress and the old man in the suit also looked this way, their eyes filled with the same expectation.

Even the silent, mouthless monster turned its head slightly, paying attention to the conversation.

Zhang Yangqing didn't rush to answer, revealing the demeanor of an informed NPC.

He first examined the strangulation marks on the woman in gray's neck—purple finger marks, clearly defined fingers, indicating deep pressure. Judging from the size of the marks, the attacker's hands were larger than an average person's.

Then, he looked at the three of them and slowly said, "Tell me your destination so I can help you analyze it."

His tone was calm, yet carried an undeniable authority: "If you are hiding anything, do as you please. Don't blame me if something goes wrong."

The three exchanged a glance, knowing that they could no longer hide anything.

The woman in gray spoke first: "I need to arrive in 'Yudu' within twenty-four hours."

She paused for a moment and explained, "I only have 24 hours left to live. Only by getting to Yudu can I extend my life. I heard that there are cars on this road that can take me to Yudu, so I came. I didn't hide anything from you."

The woman in the white dress then said, "My father appeared to me in a dream and told me to give this to him."

She patted the small box in her pocket and continued, "He said he was in danger and had to get this as soon as possible, but I don't know where he is. I only remember that in the dream, there was a huge statue where he was. I couldn't see what the statue was, but the outline looked like a monster with two pairs of bull horns."

The old man in the suit looked distant: "My wife has been missing for decades. I have been searching for her, aimlessly, but I can sense that she is not dead. That is my motivation to live."

After listening, Zhang Yangqing nodded: "I understand."

He looked at the woman in gray: "When we get to Yudu, I will remind you to get off the bus."

He then looked at the other two: "But if you're going to Yudu, you have to listen to me and there can't be any mistakes."

The three nodded repeatedly and agreed without hesitation.

In their view, it was already incredibly lucky that this "expert" was willing to help, so how could they not listen to him?

The woman in the white dress hesitated for a moment, then asked almost involuntarily, "Master, where are you going?"

Because she felt that the ticket seller on the bus must have some ulterior motive, right?
But she regretted asking the question as soon as she did; it was too presumptuous.

But Zhang Yangqing wasn't angry. He leaned back in his seat, looked out at the gray sky, and casually replied, "Give this world a little shock."

The three of them: "."

A brief silence fell over the carriage.

The woman in gray stared wide-eyed, the woman in white's sharp teeth parted slightly, the old man in the suit's lips twitched, and even the mouthless monster raised its head, looking at Zhang Yangqing with a complicated expression.

To give the world a little shock?

That's enough!
This is impressive!

They suddenly realized that their goals of "prolonging life," "saving their father," and "finding their wives" were utterly insignificant in the face of this great deity.

At this very moment, the eerie consciousness is taking notes: So this is how smooth it can be to show off.

The sightseeing bus continued its journey, and the scenery outside the window remained unchanged: a gloomy sky, a barren land, and the occasional passing of dead tree remains.

About twenty minutes later, another mountain appeared in front of them.

It's another tunnel.

But this tunnel was deeper and darker than the last one.

The cave entrance resembled the open mouth of some giant beast, silently waiting for its prey to walk into its trap.

Without the slightest hesitation, the sightseeing bus drove straight in.

Darkness once again engulfed everything.

But this time, things are different.

The car has stopped!

They stopped in the pitch-black tunnel! (End of Chapter)
