A ghost storyteller can lose his life but cannot lose his job

Chapter 138 Disaster is always one step behind me

There is no strange summoning of national war in this world, nor is there any setting in which China has forgotten all local myths and strange legends. Therefore, the Eastern Theater Command has collected and summarized some strange stories from the local area and even all over the world.

In the daily courses of the training base, the study and analysis of ghost stories from ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad, is also an important part, but there are no compulsory learning tasks or exams.

Actual cases show that a large number of real ghost creatures have the shadow of these ghost legends, and the more deeply rooted the ghost stories are in people's hearts, the stronger they are when they appear in reality, which is suspected to be directly proportional to their "popularity".

The current case of Grandma Highway is a classic modern ghost story case, but it is not a local ghost story, but a ghost story legend from Eastern Japan.

Its most notable feature is the image of an old woman, who can reach speeds of 100 kilometers per hour and likes to race with cars.

The old woman in front of him was exactly the same as the "High-speed Grandma" in the ghost story legend in several aspects, so the captain, who had studied the relevant content, quickly made a judgment.

After being reminded by the captain, Lin Youlan and others in the car also remembered the ghost story about the highway grandma. After all, the characteristics are so similar that they can make associations as long as they have read the relevant information.

"Is she the core ghost story in the tunnel? Judging from the spread, the intensity of the ghost story should be more appropriate." The unlucky guy stared straight at the high-speed grandma, and when he was serious, a special aura emanated from him, as if influencing something in the dark.

Hearing the words of the unlucky guy, the captain immediately shook his head: "No, she should be just a strange story refreshed by this wrong fork in the road. It is impossible to be the most original strange story in the tunnel. This highway mother-in-law should be more of a bloody strange story, while the tunnel strange story is more of a rule-based strange story."

Actually, if you think about this carefully, you will understand.

But everyone present except Zhong Xie hoped that the High Speed Granny was the Tunnel Ghost Story, because the High Speed Granny was at least a currently visible ghost story, and its strength was at a level that could barely be fought against.

Rule-based weird stories always mean mystery. Except for people like Zhong Xie, few people are willing to deal with rule-based weird stories every day.

However, this seemingly strange and powerful high-speed grandma is only a derivative product of the tunnel ghost story. So how terrifying is the original body of the tunnel ghost story?
"The highway grandma in the ghost story basically has no record of hurting people, but the guy in front of us is obviously more ferocious and brutal. Let's quickly go to the other side of the road." The captain continued, watching the highway grandma's next move.

After catching up with and tearing apart the coolie in front, the highway grandma did not continue to chase the next coolie, but returned to the starting line at the fork in the road and made a classic sprint start.

In just a few seconds, she started again and caught up with the second-to-last coolie, and ran parallel to his rickshaw for a while, but the speed of the rickshaw was obviously not satisfactory to her, so she soon felt bored, reached out her hand, pressed the coolie's head, and then crushed it with great force.

These hands were old and skinny, but they displayed a strong sense of power. Just by looking at them, one could tell that Granny Gaosu was definitely an extremely difficult type to deal with in the bloody ghost stories, and her ghost story level was at least above level 40.

Normally, when there are ghost stories, they may be able to rely on them to deal with Grandma Gaosu, but now in order to remove the negative effects of the disease, they have no ghost stories on them. When facing a ghost story like Grandma Gaosu that is difficult to defeat by human strength, the only choice is to stay away from it as soon as possible.

"The maximum speed of this car can exceed 100 kilometers per hour, but it is not clear where the limit of the highway is." Lin Youlan increased the speed and drove into the correct fork in the road.

According to the setting of the East Japanese ghost story, this car should be able to outrun the mother-in-law. After all, the mother-in-law is a product of modern times. The speed of 100 kilometers per hour at that time is really not enough today, but the mother-in-law in the story was not as cruel as the one in front of him. Lin Youlan did not want to have anything to do with this high-speed mother-in-law.

At this time, Grandma Highway had just killed the third coolie, turned back and ran to the starting point of the fork in the road, and inadvertently turned her head to look at Lin Youlan on another fork in the road.

Lin Youlan noticed the gaze of the highway grandma out of the corner of her eye, and a bad idea suddenly emerged in her mind. She instinctively wanted to step on the accelerator to speed up, but she was afraid that this "provocative" behavior would irritate the highway grandma who enjoyed racing, so she could only move forward at a snail's pace.

On the other side, Zhong Xie also realized the identity of the Highway Grandma, so he followed Lin Youlan's car into the fork in the road. The speed of his recording number could not compare with that of a car, and if he was targeted by the Highway Grandma, he would definitely be in trouble.

Fortunately, the highway grandma seemed to have no interest in them and started chasing the coolies in another fork in the road. There were still five coolies left there. Under the threat posed by the highway grandma, they wanted to use their hands and feet to move the rickshaw just to go faster. As long as they entered the next fork in the road, they could get rid of the highway grandma's pursuit.

On the other side, Zhong Xie’s recording number had followed Lin Youlan’s car halfway to the fork in the road, and the next fork in the road had appeared ahead.

There were two coolies moving forward in front of their car. They were the lucky ones who had chosen the right fork in the road in the last round.

Zhong Xie looked at the empty back and felt something was wrong, so he said to the new coolie who had just spawned behind the car: "Want to rent a car, brother? We provide car loan services."

At the same time, he had already begun to quickly remove steel pipes and wires from the recording number, striving to make the rickshaw as quickly as possible.

About five minutes later, Zhong Xie had completed two rickshaws. The coolies who got the rickshaws were naturally overjoyed, but Zhong Xie did not put them in front to show the way, but followed behind his convoy.

The fork in the road was not wide enough, and with Zhong Xie standing in front, the two rickshaws carrying coolies could only follow behind.

The tunnel was unusually quiet at this time, with only the sound of wheels rolling on the rough road surface. Occasionally, gravel would be crushed, making a crisp "crunching" sound, which made the scene in the tunnel even more eerie.

Lin Youlan silently increased the speed of the car to provide Zhong Xie's recording number with an opportunity to accelerate. Zhong Xie pushed his two ponytails forward together, causing Zhang Kai on the hanging chair to hang right in front of the tape compartment, allowing the recording number to maintain the highest speed and move forward.

What Zhong Xie is more focused on now is hand-making the vehicle, while constantly looking back to see what is happening at the fork in the road behind him.

"Hurry, drive faster."

In the depressing atmosphere, anyone could sense the strange invasion. Xiao Yuan in the back seat couldn't help but urge Lin Youlan to leave the current section of the road as soon as possible.

"We have to wait until the two coolies in front of us have chosen the fork in the road, otherwise we won't be able to pass the next level." Lin Youlan frowned, her eyes fixed on the rearview mirror.

She also wanted to leave the fork in the road quickly, but unfortunately the rickshaw of the coolie in front was too slow, and they needed the rickshaw in front to explore the way.

Two minutes later, the ominous figure appeared in the rearview mirror.

The high-speed grandma hunched forward, and her figure at this moment was more like some four-legged beast.

After eight speeding trips to chase the coolie, a large amount of blood-colored steam emerged from the body of the highway mother-in-law. She seemed to have been physically released and was filled with a sense of satisfaction.

"go!"

What Zhong Xie was most worried about happened. After dealing with the eight coolies on another fork in the road, the highway old woman set her hunting sights on this fork in the road.

Fortunately, Zhong Xie had just hurriedly made three rickshaws and placed them behind his own car, which could delay the pace of the highway mother-in-law for a little while.

First.

The speeding of the highway drove the sand and gravel in the tunnel, rushing forward with unstoppable force, and it pounced on the last rickshaw like a hungry tiger, swallowed it whole, and then spit out the twisted remains of steel pipes and iron wires.

As for the coolie, he had already been digested by her, and as her body continued to vibrate, it turned into blood-colored steam that evaporated through the pores of her skin.

The pungent smell of blood immediately filled the tunnel.

While turning back to the starting point, Grandma Highway's gaze stayed on Zhong Xie for a long time. It was obvious that she felt bored with such a target as the coolie, and she wanted to chase a faster vehicle.

Zhong Xie's recording number and Lin Youlan's new energy vehicle are the two she is looking forward to competing with.

The figure of Grandma Gaosu shot into the blood-red steam behind like an arrow and quickly moved away from Zhong Xie.

However, this distance does not mean safety, just like when you draw a bow, the arrow will be temporarily away from the target, and then shoot through the enemy at a speed that is difficult to see with the naked eye. The next target...

Coming for me!

Zhong Xie was awakened by the look back of Grandma Gao when she rushed into the blood mist. Her horribly distorted face was full of excitement of finding a new opponent.

This guy can definitely skip other coolies and choose a new target. Her next target is definitely the recording number.

Shu Shu sensed this quickly, and Zhong Xie did not hesitate at all. He pulled out two pieces of wire from the recording number, tied up the steel pipe, and then threw it towards Lin Youlan's car from a distance.

"Catch it! Pull it into my car and drive at top speed!"

Zhong Xie threw out the steel pipe tied with wire with all his strength. The captain and the unlucky guy leaned out of the car window on the left and right to catch the steel pipe and held it tightly in their arms.

Lin Youlan stepped on the accelerator and increased the horsepower, instantly increasing the speed of the car to 100 kilometers per hour, and began to run wildly inside the tunnel with the recording number behind her.

The road conditions in the tunnel are average and extremely narrow. Lin Youlan needs to concentrate on controlling the vehicle and avoid being squeezed or collided by the ledges on both sides of the tunnel. If the vehicle is damaged in such a place, there will be basically no hope of leaving the tunnel smoothly.

Zhong Xie at the back was also carefully controlling the progress of the Recording Number, trying his best not to collide with the edge of the tunnel. Otherwise, moving at such an ultra-high speed, the roller skates would inevitably hit the concrete curb and be smashed to pieces.

Without roller skates, with just the steel tube on Recording Number's body, there was no way Lin Youlan's car could have pulled him over a hundred kilometers.

Lin Youlan's car directly knocked the two coolies in front of it away, but she certainly didn't have time to care about this now, because she could clearly see from the rearview mirror that the highway woman rushed out of the blood mist.

High-temperature blood vapor continued to emanate from her body. Due to her high speed, the blood vapor followed the old lady like a comet's tail, drawing a brilliant beam of blood light.

"The speed is not enough, this is already the maximum speed." Lin Youlan shouted loudly. This is the limit of this new energy vehicle, not to mention that it is carrying such a burden as a recording number.

However, her words could only drift in the wind, and Zhong Xie at the back could not hear them clearly. But from the gradually approaching figure of Gao Suo Po Po, he could tell that he would soon be caught up.

So Zhong Xie began to pull out the steel pipes from the recording number and threw them at the high-speed woman behind, turning the speed race into a prop race.

At the beginning, Grandma Gaosu was indeed affected by the steel pipe thrown by Zhong Xie. After all, Zhong Xie had a unique talent in throwing objects, and he threw out the iron wire at the second and third steel pipes, trying to wrap the thin iron wire into the old woman's fast-moving feet.

If I could trip, I would definitely be able to buy time to reach the next fork in the road.

Unfortunately, after being hit twice, Highway Grandma learned her lesson and started running in circles up, down, left and right along the tunnel, running randomly and not giving Zhong Xie a chance to predict.

The distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, and it seemed that there was only about ten meters left. But at this time, Zhang Kai reminded Zhong Xie loudly: "We're here, we're at the next fork in the road. Should we choose left or right?"

However, the high-speed woman did not show any sign of slowing down. The ferocity in her eyes deepened, and a bloodthirsty smile appeared at the corners of her mouth.

At this distance, Zhong Xie also noticed that there was a very obvious knife wound on half of the old lady's body, extending from the left shoulder to the thigh, deep enough to see the bone, and festering and rotten.

Under the influence of the knife wound, every step that Grandma Gaosu took would involve the wound, so her body balance was always affected, which undoubtedly slowed down her speed.

Is this guy injured?

This injury has absolutely no effect on the regenerative ability that is common in bloody ghost stories, right?

No, the knife that cut her was no ordinary one. It suppressed the regenerative power of the blood system.

Suddenly, Grandma Gao opened her red lips and uttered a half-baked bird language.

Zhong Xie was stunned when he heard this. He didn't understand what this highway old lady was saying, but he was sure that the tone was not Chinese, but rather a bit like some dialect.

However, compared to a dialect, Zhong Xie felt that this was more like Eastern Japanese.

Eastern Japanese?

No, could this highway grandma really have come from that island country?

Zhong Xie recalled the indulgence he had given his brother when he "thanked" him before. He was aware that there were islands overseas and that ghost stories were also revived on the islands.

The super-large ghost story incident known as the "Sin Zone" is just outside the East China Sea.

If we go further north, we might reach East Wo Island, or perhaps the entire East Wo Island has turned into a "sin zone".

It can't be possible that this highway lady really ran all the way from East Wo Island, right?

Light Kung Fu Floating on Water?
Could it be that she was stabbed by something, ran all the way here across the sea overnight, and hid in this tunnel to recuperate?

A question mark popped up in Zhong Xie's mind, but he soon realized that something was wrong.

The fork in the road had already been passed, and Lin Youlan hurriedly chose a random fork in the road, while the highway granny was still chasing her closely behind.

This ghost thing really has little to do with the tunnel legend. She really came from somewhere else and is not controlled by the tunnel.

Zhong Xie looked at the slowly increasing speed of the highway grandma and realized that he would be caught up by her soon, so he made up his mind and spit out a lot of fat pigs from his three bloody mouths to block the back of the car.

The highway mother-in-law hit the fat pig head-on, pushing the fat pig to continue running forward, even running faster and faster, and pushing the fat pig - recording number - new energy vehicle to run wildly in the tunnel.

She kept biting the fat pig's flesh and blood, and then this large amount of fat pig's flesh and blood blocked her throat, and continued to grow by absorbing water and air in her throat, completely filling her big cherry mouth.

At the moment, Grandma Gaosu could only push Zhong Xie, and there was always a distance of a fat pig between the two, and she could not catch up.

Zhong Xie's eyes suddenly lit up and a new idea popped into his mind.

Oh, disaster is always one step behind me.

Grandma-in-law, you can't resist me now, right?

Hey.
