As soon as the hothead got into the passenger seat, the door behind him slammed shut, silencing the others who tried to dissuade him.

The naive young man felt a sudden panic, an ominous premonition surged into his heart, and he couldn't help but shiver.

"I feel like I'm missing something? Never mind, if I control the midnight taxis, all the problems will be solved!"

Thinking this, the naive young man reached for the steering wheel, preparing to force the midnight taxi to a stop.

But just as he reached out his hand, a drop of sticky liquid dripped from the roof of the car and landed on the back of his hand.

Feeling the dampness on the back of his hand, the naive young man's mind exploded; he knew what he had overlooked.

I'd completely forgotten about my ability to rent a taxi at midnight!

wow——

Corrosive sap flowed down in streams, instantly submerging nearly half of the carriage.

Upon seeing this, the hothead exclaimed in surprise, recalling what Captain Lei had said earlier, and felt deep regret.

The team members who had previously echoed the hothead felt a sense of relief upon seeing what was happening inside the carriage.

Just now, he had forgotten his ability to operate a midnight taxi and tried to enter the car to dismantle it from the inside. If the naive young man hadn't been one step ahead of him, he would be the one suffering now!

The two men now realized the power of the midnight taxi service, and their initial contempt for Chen Zhuo was replaced by shock.

"Damn it, all he does is cause me trouble!"

Lei cursed angrily, leaped onto the roof of the midnight taxi, and plunged the dagger he had drawn from his waist into it.

The midnight taxi suddenly let out a scream, causing the car door to loosen slightly.

Upon seeing this, the young man immediately took action, using a strange object to pry open the car door and quickly pull out the nearly unconscious idiot.

After rescuing him, Lei gave an order, and everyone acted simultaneously, successfully forcing the midnight taxi to stop.

Lei jumped off the roof of the car, walked straight up to the hothead, punched him, and then looked at the young man.

"You now have two choices: erase your memories and live a normal life, or be transferred to another department. In short, you are forbidden from participating in any bizarre events in the future!"

"Team Leader Lei, I..." The hothead wanted to argue a bit more, but he saw the young man next to Team Leader Lei shaking his head at him.

Lei ignored him and turned to the midnight taxi: "Run! Why did you stop? If I hadn't been on the verge of losing control, would you have been able to run this long?"

"Team Leader Lei, what's our next move? Kill it or seal it?"

Lei pondered for a moment, then patted the engine hood: "Take it back to the branch for now. As for what to do next, that's not our concern."

Since this matter involved Chen Zhuo, he dared not make a decision easily, so he simply passed the problem on to others.

"Let's go, we've been up all night, let's go back and get some rest."

With a wave of his hand, Lei led the group away in the midnight taxi.

Looking at the Green Sea Villa, which had completely disappeared in the rearview mirror, Lei asked the young man beside him.

"How many days have Team Leader Lin and the others been gone? Any new updates?"

"It's been four days, and there's still no news."

Lei's expression turned serious upon hearing this: "I hope they're safe and sound, but with that person around, there shouldn't be any problems."

Inside the Green Sea Villa District, Chen Zhuo was holding the pocket watch he treasured.

"Mirror Ghost, have you had enough? I have something to ask you, come out now."

"How can you be this strong all by yourself? It's not as fun as it used to be."

A dark shadow appeared on the glass of the watch face, looking at the black satin in Chen Zhuo's eyes, and couldn't help but ask.

"What happened to your eyes? They were fine the last time I saw you."

"This is a long story, I'll tell you about it later. First, answer a few questions for me."

Since the midnight taxi incident, he has had many questions in his mind. Now that the Mirror Ghost has appeared, these questions may be answered.

"Mirror Ghost, weren't you in a dungeon of the bizarre game? How did you end up in the real world?!"

The Mirror Ghost, or simply Mirror Ghost, is a bizarre phenomenon in a bizarre game instance, and it is also one of the few bizarre phenomena that is relatively friendly to humans.

He is also one of Chen Zhuo's closer old friends in the game.

Therefore, Mirror Ghost did not hide anything from Chen Zhuo regarding his question.

"I only have a vague understanding of this matter." The Mirror Ghost detached from the pocket watch and came to Chen Zhuo's phone.

About a year ago, Weird Games announced that it would gradually close all Weird game instances.

I originally thought that with the closure of the bizarre dungeons, our group of strange dungeons would disappear along with the game.

However, when the instance I was in closed, a door suddenly appeared in front of me.

That door had a strange attraction for me, and I opened it as if possessed.

Immediately afterwards, a strange pulling force pulled me into the doorway.

When I woke up again, a week earlier, I was in this villa.

"A door?" Chen Zhuo put a piece of milk candy in his mouth, looking puzzled. He had never heard of a door before.

The Mirror Ghost nodded and pointed to the third floor with his phone.

"My door is in the master bathroom. The mirror by the sink can be opened; it used to be a small cabinet, but now it's my door."

Upon hearing this, Chen Zhuo immediately went to the master bedroom on the third floor and ripped open the broken mirror frame.

As the "door" was opened, a dense, eerie atmosphere rushed into the bathroom.

If an ordinary person were standing here, they would probably have been corrupted and killed by the eerie energy long ago, but Chen Zhuo was unharmed. He even moved closer and reached out to put his hand inside.

But as he approached the door, an invisible force of repulsion blocked his hand from entering.

"This door seems to be one-way, and I can't go through it to the other side of the world right now."

There was a hint of regret in Mirror Ghost's tone.

Chen Zhuo withdrew his hand, closed the picture frame, and returned to the bed in the master bedroom.

The appearance of the door reminded him of the right rear door of the midnight taxi that had been blocked.

"Could that be the door for midnight rentals?"

"What?" Hearing Chen Zhuo's words, Mirror Ghost suddenly remembered a detail: "Right, there's something else that feels very strange to me."

"What is it?" Chen Zhuo really hoped that the Mirror Ghost could say more. The more he knew, the closer he would be to the truth.

The Mirror Ghost looked towards the master bedroom: "For some reason, I have a strange sense of familiarity with this place, as if I've been here before."

"Familiarity?" This was a question Chen Zhuo hadn't expected.

Why do the eeriness in bizarre games feel familiar to the real world?

Chen Zhuo pondered the matter for a long time but couldn't come up with an answer, so he simply put it aside for the time being, thinking that there should be an answer when the time was right.

"There's one more question." Chen Zhuo stopped dwelling on it and asked about other things.

"The landlord of this villa recently went insane and was hospitalized. The eerie howls the previous tenant heard these past few days, and the disappearances of people in the villa area—were they your doing?"
