Cursed Vehicle Hood (100%)

Note: Derived from a cursed vehicle, it once appeared inside the Yonghui Tunnel on Highway X102. It was collected by the strange creature "Coolie Weng" and possesses some kind of mysterious curse power.

Curse the vehicle's doors (98%)

Remark:……

Zhong Xie combined the information of several vehicle parts that he currently had, and the information provided by these parts was basically the same.

Highway X102 refers to the road with a tunnel, and Yonghui Tunnel is the name of this tunnel.

When they entered the tunnel, they didn't pay much attention to the name of the tunnel above, nor did they know what mountain it was.

There were percentage numbers behind these parts. Zhong Xie initially thought that this might hint at the ownership of the parts, but when he saw that the rearview mirror on Lin Youlan's vehicle only showed "3%", he made a judgment.

This number probably refers to the degree of curse of the part.

After the car parts are obtained by the coolie, they will be placed behind him, which should be the source of the coolie's curse. The parts are of a certain size and can all be accommodated by the back.

The longer a part is stored in the back, the more deeply it is affected by the curse and the larger the percentage number.

But apart from this judgment, Zhong Xie did not know what the different degrees of curse power on vehicle parts meant.

Intuitively, the bigger the number, the better, but after all, it is the power of a curse, so in reality the stronger the better may not necessarily be the case.

But no matter what, Zhong Xie himself will definitely try to collect more.

Regardless of whether it is beneficial or harmful, it is still a very special ghost story prop, isn't it?
Under the influence of the hoarding mentality that is extremely common among rodents, Zhong Xie almost instinctively began to search for similar cursed vehicle parts from the coolies.

Maybe we can actually piece together a car?
The way to obtain parts is very civilized, and Zhong Xie will naturally implement the style of behavior he has just established.

The violent means have been forcibly stopped by the tunnel ghost story, so the next step is to try civilized methods.

Through the "loan and car rental" routine, Zhong Xie obtained more accurate information from the two coolies behind the recording number.

For vehicles entering the tunnel, the first few forks in the road are almost harmless. They are just to allow the creatures in the car to understand the connection behind "coolie", "driving at a constant speed" and "choosing a fork in the road".

Starting from the next fork in the road, the wrong choice will lead to the torture of fear and the crisis of life.

Not only does it require extremely high driving skills from the driver and frequent racing to pass smoothly, but it also requires the people in the car to have courage and luck to pass successfully.

The coolie who was just deceived by Zhong Xie was only at the "three (zero) pieces realm", an absolute novice among the coolies, and didn't know much about the specific situation in the tunnel. The two coolies behind the recording number were more willing to learn about the "loan car rental" service mentioned by Zhong Xie.

So ten minutes later.

"Is this... a car?"

Zhang Kai sat on a hanging chair in mid-air, looking at the strange "human-shaped" object in front of him made of seven steel pipes, several iron wires and steel wool, and couldn't help but question it from the bottom of his heart.

“This is the car.”

Zhong Xie answered without any psychological burden: "Although it looks like a stick figure with hands and feet, don't you see that it also has wheels?"

He nudged the coolie next to him with his elbow and asked directly, "Is this a car?"

"Yes." The coolie nodded sharply and made a sound of assent.

At this moment, Zhong Xie made two similar "rickshaws" by dismantling the recording number, and sold them to the two coolies following the recording number.

Tunnel Ghost Story believes that this is a "car" because it is assembled from disassembled parts of another "car". What else can be assembled from car parts and look like a car?
Isn’t it still a car?
The coolies naturally thought that this was a car. After all, they had been following Zhong Xie's car for so long, how could they not tell whether it was a car or not?

Besides...

These two rickshaws can be driven, can move, can be driven and can control the direction, so there is evidence to support the suspicion.

Zhong Xie didn't know what the exact principle was, probably it had something to do with the "cognition" of tunnel ghost stories. Anyway, he successfully sold the car he had just made to the two coolies.

All are happy.

Of course, these two coolies definitely couldn’t afford to buy the car outright, so they could only purchase it from Zhong Xie by taking out a loan.

The advance payment is the other vehicle parts on them, such as the front and rear lights and hoods, and the subsequent interest repayment...

Zhong Xie originally wanted to use some leverage, targeted acquisitions, technology brand licensing, etc., which were all reasonable and legal ways of harvesting, but after just two minutes of communicating with the coolies, he realized that this would not work.

Just let them take out car loans.

These guys have to use up all their brain cells just to deal with the car loan problem, and all the other messy financial methods are useless.

In other words, this group of Xiangzi is easier to deal with than imagined.

Previously, when he was using the recording number wire to tie up the coolie, he discovered that the recording number had copied the "hyperplasia" property from the fat pig, which can also be called "regenerative power", so steel pipes and iron wires extracted from its body could be regrown in a short time.

You just need to continue feeding the fat pigs' flesh and blood to complete the transformation. To a certain extent, the fat pigs in Zhong Xie's stomach can also be regenerated continuously, as long as they are provided with some water and air.

It’s a pity that Zhong Xie was born in an era when ghost stories were revived, otherwise he could easily become the steel king with his magical alchemy to make steel from water and air.

For Zhong Xie, making this kind of "rickshaw" for the camel guys cost almost nothing, but for Xiangzi and others, this is what they have been pursuing all their lives.

After providing the vehicles, Zhong Xie could let these coolies explore the way for him in a very reasonable way.

Anyway, don’t these coolies just want to piece together their own car, then brave the tunnel and find a chance to leave this nightmare place?
Are there any more suitable explorers than them?

Since we know that the subsequent forks in the road will be dangerous, such a pathfinder is indispensable.

We can't really compete in driving skills, right?
Is this recording number a car?

Zhong Xie was able to judge from the coolie's words that if he encountered a strange thing at the wrong fork in the road, he would most likely need to show off his driving skills and race at the speed of life and death to escape successfully.

The speed of the recording number...

Basically, it has nothing to do with racing. Once you choose the wrong road, the ending is bound to be entangled in ghost stories and die.

The pathfinder coolies can avoid this problem very well. In addition, after obtaining the vehicle, they are no longer coolies pushing carts, but coolies who own the means of production and can enter the tunnels to explore by themselves.

Therefore, the Coolie behind the car will "refresh", and more cursed vehicle parts can be taken out from the newly appeared Coolie.

Normally, if you provide Xiangzi with vehicles and let them explore the way ahead, they may wait for a better price and seek more conditions. But as long as you sell the vehicles to them in return and ask for a high price, Xiangzi will be grateful instead.

Working for us, it should thank us. In fact, the "adventure" requested by Zhong Xie is the same as the "adventure" they took after getting the car. The end result is to hit the wall anyway.

However, the "freedom" between "forced exploration" and "voluntary exploration" can take away all their savings and future income.

Freedom is indeed expensive.

Soon, the next fork in the road appeared in front of Zhong Xie and his companions. When they were still dozens of meters away from the fork in the road, Zhong Xie called out the six coolies behind him and distributed the six vehicles he had made to them.

At the same time as the six coolies boarded the rickshaw, a similar coolie pushing a cart appeared behind the rickshaw.

In this tunnel, even if a coolie is driving the car, there will still be coolies pushing the cart behind it.

The coolie pushing the cart is the necessary guarantee to restrict the vehicle from moving forward, and there will be no exceptions in most cases.

Therefore, the six rickshaws moved forward slowly under the gaze of Zhong Xie, Lin Youlan and others.

There were no coolies behind Lin Youlan's car and the recording number for the time being, so Lin Youlan and Zhong Xie stopped their cars at the same time.

It was very easy for Lin Youlan to park the car, she just had to brake, but Zhong Xie had to open the tape compartment and use his bloody mouth to clean out the fat pig blood and flesh inside.

However, once you get familiar with it, this process won’t take much time and can be completed in a dozen seconds.

At this moment, it will take some time before the next coolie refreshes behind their car. During this time, they can park their car safely without worrying about being punished by the rules, because there is no coolie pushing the car behind them.

This is the meaning of Zhong Xie’s hard work until now.

They could stop the car, but the six coolies couldn't. They could only choose to explore the way ahead. Unfortunately, by the time they thought of this, it was too late.

The rickshaws have already set off, and they have actually become scouts working for Zhong Xie and others.

Four coolies chose the left fork, while the remaining two coolies chose the right fork.

At the end of the fork in the road, six coolies moved forward one by one. The journey was smooth. Just when Zhong Xie suspected that the choice of the fork in the road this time was still not dangerous, a huge mouth suddenly appeared at the end of the fork on the right.

The huge mouth supported the entire tunnel, with the upper jaw reaching the sky and the lower chin standing on the ground, completely swallowing the end of the fork in the road.

There are countless tiny teeth densely packed in a spiral in its mouth. As the huge mouth rotates, these teeth are like the sharp blade of a pencil sharpener, grinding and cutting everything that enters it and swallowing it up.

The two coolies who chose the right fork were panicked when they saw the huge mouth with dense teeth at the end of the tunnel that had not moved. Their shrill cries shook the tunnel. They hurriedly tried to brake to stop the rickshaw and avoid crashing into the huge mouth.

However, the coolies following behind suddenly took action when they noticed that the rickshaws had stopped, pushing the vehicles one by one, forcing them to move forward towards the giant mouth with dense teeth little by little.

The coolie at the front could only watch himself being sent into the huge mouth, his body cut into pieces by thousands of knives, and eventually being cut into countless pieces.

At the same time, the cart pusher disappeared abruptly, as if he had completed his "funeral" mission.

The coolie on the rickshaw at the back wanted to jump out and escape, but at the moment it left the rickshaw, a long thin tongue suddenly stretched out from its huge mouth with dense teeth, hit the coolie's body, and then sucked it into the abyss-like mouth, disappearing completely.

"left."

Zhong Xie at the back was able to determine the correct fork in the road when he saw this, so he fed the tape warehouse with fat pig meat and blood and restarted the recording number.

The two cars started after the four coolies who had made the correct choice at the end of the field of vision and followed them.

At this time, new coolies appeared behind their car, a total of six. Through the lens, they could see that they all had a look of confusion in their eyes as if they had just entered society, and they didn't know what kind of prospects they were about to face.

It’s nothing actually. It’s just that I had to take on a mortgage right after I started working because of Zhong Xie’s deception. That’s all.

So Zhong Xie used the same rhetoric again and gave guidance to the six new coolies, showing them the four coolies in front of them who were excellent car slaves and passed the level.

The guide to freedom was right before their eyes, so the six coolies agreed to the "car rental loan" contract without hesitation.

They have become like this, their brains work more slowly, but they are not completely stupid.

What are the parts behind it for?
To assemble the car.

What is the purpose of assembling a car?
To get out.

Now that someone is offering car leasing loans, is there any reason to hesitate?
Of course it’s all in.

If I can successfully leave the tunnel alive...

You may not have the chance to repay your car loan.

If I die in the tunnel, there is no need to pay off the car loan.

When a person dies, the loan is cancelled. This should also be applicable in the world of ghost stories, right?

In short, these coolies felt that they had discovered a loophole in the loan car rental service, so they agreed to Zhong Xie's conditions without hesitation.

Zhong Xie was naturally happy about their behavior. What he feared the most was that these laborers didn't even have the courage to take on a car loan, which would be a disaster.

Fortunately, Zhong Xie has not met such coolies yet, and it seems that these coolies are very happy to work for him.

Probably……

This is probably the social atmosphere in the tunnel.

If a person is unwilling to get his own car and start a new life, what is the difference between him and a salted fish?
Zhong Xie was the first one to look down on it.

Soon, the second wave of forks in the road arrived, and with Zhong Xie's skillful control of time, he just managed to complete six rickshaws.

So it was distributed to the six coolies again, waiting for them to go and explore the way.

This time, eight coolies (including the four who survived the last time) chose the left side, and only two coolies chose the right side.

Three minutes later, the left fork in the road was filled with negative energy.

An old woman with a hunched body and wrinkled face appeared at the entrance of the fork in the road.

After waiting for three seconds, the old woman ran at an extremely high speed in the tunnel, directly caught up with the coolie at the end, and tore it to pieces with just one bite.

"High-speed mother-in-law?"

The captain in Lin Youlan's car was stunned for a moment, and called out the source of this tunnel legend in disbelief.
