The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 83 Speed ​​of Life and Death (6)

Under the gaze of others, the two walked into the tunnel. They originally thought that the atmosphere in the tunnel should be very scary. After all, it was an old and abandoned tunnel where several accidents had happened, and monsters from urban legends lurked there.

But I didn't expect it to be so beautiful inside. A series of LED light strips with soft lights were hung on the walls of the tunnel, extending all the way to the tunnel, acting as street lights to illuminate the dark tunnel. Fluorescent sticks of different colors were placed at regular intervals on the boundaries of both sides of the road as signposts to guide riders forward. The tunnel was not spotless, but at least there was no debris on the road surface and the garbage had been cleaned up. It was obvious that the people of Yeguiniku cared deeply about the environment here, and even felt a little warm.

The energy for the light strip is provided by a gasoline generator nearby, which is placed in the corner of the road and is making some noise.

Although there was little wind in the tunnel, it was very cool, in stark contrast to the hot weather outside. Inuyama Heita looked at the faded graffiti on the wall. These messy graffiti proved that this was once the territory of the bikers. All kinds of cool and meaningless Chinese characters were written in bold on the wall. Words such as "strongest", "number one in the world" and "life-threatening" were everywhere. They were all the favorite words of the bikers in their second year of high school. One can imagine what it was like when the bikers were popular.

Ah Jian suddenly appeared, and peered into the depths of the tunnel, saying, "How strange! This place is just like an ordinary tunnel, without any ghostly aura at all. Are you sure this is where the accident happened? I can't sense anything."

Qian Xiaoyi took out the compass and said, "It's not surprising. The people of Yegui Niku now obviously regard this place as their own nest. They are more attached to this place than afraid of it. Once a place becomes popular, it is not easy to form a ghost area."

Inuyama Heita asked: "There is no connection, no ghost realm, so why did Mr. Kuroda get into trouble?"

"Let's go inside first, we'll find out." Qian Xiaoyi walked into the tunnel.

They walked deeper along the light strip. The tunnel was only 500 meters long and they reached the end in a moment. On the innermost concrete wall were written four huge characters "Ye Gui Ni Ku", covering all other words and declaring their territorial sovereignty. The four characters were very clear and should have been written this year. The end of the light strip was also here, surrounding the four characters.

If you look closely, you can see a lot of photos on the wall. They are group photos of the members of Yakiniku. There are old photos and recent ones. Everyone seems to be smiling happily, adding a touch of warmth to the place. In the middle is an old photo, which should have been taken before Yakiniku disbanded. It is full of strange-looking biker boys, and finally Qian Xiaoyi sees the stereotyped image. Kuroda is also in it, and next to him stands a guy with a yellow-haired crew cut, with his arms folded majestically. The others surround him like stars surrounding the moon, making all kinds of funny movements.

"The interweaving of old and new memories? You're quite good at creating an atmosphere." Qian Xiaoyi nodded as he looked at the wall, praising it, "As his experience increased, his aesthetic sense gradually got rid of the frenzy of his middle school years and became more stable. It seems that some people in Yegui Niku are now in the decoration industry."

"Yeah, it's really good." Ah Jian also commented while stroking his chin, "If those four words weren't funny and scary Chinese characters like 夜鬼尼苦, but were love words like 'I love you', based on my years of experience playing dating games, I would definitely be able to get a girl if I brought her here to confess my love."

"I love you...'I love you to death'~" Qian Xiaoyi teased, "You are obviously a virgin fat guy who has never been in a relationship, so please don't pretend to be some emotional master, okay?"

Ajian felt painful and said something difficult to understand in an exasperated manner such as "Platonic love is also love", "True love is pure", "I have already conquered many girls in the game", and then continued to suffer Qian Xiaoyi's ruthless ridicule.

Inuyama Heita was a little annoyed by the noise and reminded: "What are we here for? Don't forget our commission. Please get it done quickly. I have to go to school tomorrow." "Yes, yes, yes~" Qian Xiaoyi glanced at the compass. The compass needle turned suddenly from time to time, and then returned to a dazed state, as if it had intermittent seizures, so he asked: "Ajian, is it still the same over there? Do you feel anything?"

Ajian scratched his head: "It's a bit strange, I felt something for a moment, but it was gone the next second."

"Well, I roughly know that there are conditions for entering the ghostland here, and a special environment is required." Qian Xiaoyi said: "The eyewitness intelligence said that they all saw the old lady while driving. In other words, one of the necessary conditions for entering the ghostland here is 'high speed'. It is impossible to enter by other means."

"What about taking a taxi?" Inuyama Heita asked.

Qian Xiaoyi knew he was talking about the ghost taxi, so he shook his head and said, "It's different. Although the taxi can connect to Granny Turbine's ghost domain, it shouldn't be possible to get in from the outside."

"Why?" Ajian asked.

Qian Xiaoyi explained: "Turbine Granny is a very widespread urban legend. She may appear in any tunnel ghost domain that meets the conditions. This tunnel is just one of the places where she can appear. The location of the ghost domain is different from reality, and taxis may not be able to find it accurately. In addition, Night Ghost Niku has increased the popularity of this place, resulting in the fact that under normal circumstances, the ghost domain cannot be generated here. People can only enter it after the surrounding aura changes in a high-speed environment."

Inuyama Heita asked, "What should we do then? Let Uncle Gumi find someone to help us and have him take us into the ghost realm?"

"No need to go through so much trouble." Qian Xiaoyi said with a smile: "Since the ghost domain cannot be generated under normal circumstances, let's make it abnormal. Let's go back a little."

The three of them walked back and stopped in the middle of the tunnel where they could neither see the exit nor the end. The road here was slightly curved, and they could only see the light strips extending forward and backward, then disappearing at the end of the field of vision.

Qian Xiaoyi nodded: "This is it. The repetitive scene will make people feel inexplicably scared. This is the least popular place in the tunnel."

As he spoke, he pulled out his cigarette box from his pocket, took out three cigarettes from it, placed them neatly on the side of the road, and then lit them.

There were three cigarettes, two long and one short, with blue smoke rising up, which brought a strange atmosphere to the tunnel.
