However, the accelerator was stuck, so if Chu Jiang wanted to force it, he could only use his fist to press the accelerator.

After hesitating for a moment, Chu Jiang still didn't do it. He wasn't confident that he could wait for a third car on this road.

Just then, Chu Jiang's vision blurred for a moment, and he felt that everything he saw was upside down, as if the whole world had turned upside down.

It was a very peculiar feeling. The pitch-black sky was below, and the silent highway was above. Chu Jiang sat in an old-fashioned taxi hanging upside down on the highway. What he saw seemed real, yet it was all an illusion.

Immersed in this special state, after a few seconds, Chu Jiang suddenly realized something was wrong.

In this upside-down state, he moved somewhat stiffly as he backed up into the back of the taxi.

Once Chu Jiang was fully seated, the world instantly reversed again. The sky was still above, the highway was still below, and he was sitting comfortably in the taxi, everything was normal.

However, Chu Jiang was already covered in a cold sweat. He looked at the female ghost in the passenger seat, but she didn't move and just stared ahead, showing no sign of attacking Chu Jiang.

Thank goodness, it shouldn't be that I triggered the other party's killing pattern. It's just that just now, Chu Jiang was too close to the other party, and unconsciously he was affected by the other party.

This ghost... is very special. Chu Jiang felt that it really had the ability to turn the whole world upside down.

This reminded Chu Jiang of the distinguishing characteristics of S-class ghosts. They often possess at least one almost insurmountable abnormal ability, including the ability to manipulate space.

Of course, this doesn't mean that the female ghost is an S-class vengeful ghost; it's just that Chu Jiang suddenly made that connection.

All I can say is that this female ghost is terrifying. Even if she's not an S-class vengeful ghost, but just an A-class or even a B-class one, you shouldn't mess with her.

Do your best to stay as far away from the female ghost as possible, and position yourself diagonally opposite her, so that Chu Jiang can then observe the situation behind him.

Looking again with his left eye, Chu Jiang could no longer see the ghosts; it seemed those guys hadn't caught up.

This is a rare piece of good news.

So next, we need to figure out where to get off. Speaking of which, it seems there's more than one taxi, and it carries not only people, but also ghosts.

What mysterious force is controlling all of this?

Chu Jiang tried dialing the satellite phone again to call his operator, but he still couldn't get through.

Left with no other option, he could only sit patiently in the car, watching out the window for any changes in the scenery and for any new dangers lurking inside...

After the taxi had been driving for about an hour, a thick fog suddenly appeared ahead, and everything was covered in white, making it impossible to see anything.

Chu Jiang, unusually, perked up; were they finally approaching their destination?

The taxi continued its journey into the fog at a constant speed. Inside the fog, Chu Jiang suddenly heard a strange sound, "Clang clang clang~~!" He even saw some flashing red lights in the distance.

The sound gave Chu Jiang a strange sense of familiarity; he was sure he had heard it before, but where exactly? For a moment, he couldn't remember.

As the fog in front of the car gradually dissipated, Chu Jiang discovered that the taxi was actually driving on a railway track!

That's right, it's the kind of railway track where trains run.

In that instant, Chu Jiang remembered! He had heard this kind of voice in some anime from Japan.

Although the island nation is small in area, it has tens of thousands of railway crossings throughout the country, which are called "railway crossings".

Because there are many level crossings, when a train is about to pass, the railway crossing will sound an alarm, light up an indicator light, and lower the crossing barriers to remind pedestrians to wait at the crossing.

Pedestrians can cross the level crossing only after the train has passed.

What Chu Jiang just heard was the sirens blaring from the island nation.

Hey, did he actually go abroad this time?? Is that even possible...?

Chapter 234 The Final Stop

After getting onto the railway tracks, the taxi gradually slowed down, passed two deserted railway crossings, and finally stopped at a train platform.

Chu Jiang glanced at it and saw that the station name was 【きさらぎ駅】. Goodness, it was Japanese. He didn't recognize the word, but he really might have ended up in Japan.

Of course, it could also be located in a haunted area of ​​an island nation.

Because Chu Jiang clearly hadn't returned to normal reality yet. For one thing, the railway and the platform area were still shrouded in fog, beyond which lay the boundless, deep night.

Another thing is that the station was empty and dark, without a single light on, and there wasn't a single person in sight...

Just as Chu Jiang was about to say that there was no one there, he realized he was wrong; there was "someone".

The other person remained motionless, as if she were just a background figure at the station, sitting on the waiting chair, so much so that Chu Jiang didn't even notice her at first glance.

She was a young and beautiful woman dressed in a kimono. She had pale skin and her hair was tied up with an exquisite flower-shaped hair ornament. Her expression was indifferent, and her clothes were mainly dark red, interspersed with purple, cyan, and white.

She wore a wide, high silk belt around her waist, her hands folded and placed flat on her knees, looking at the old-fashioned taxi parked on the tracks with an indifferent, emotionless expression.

Just as Chu Jiang was wondering whether this person was a human or a ghost, the passenger door opened by itself.

Then the white-clad female ghost, whose head was upside down, slowly rose and floated away, as if it was meant to get off the bus here.

What about Chu Jiang? Will he go down?

Chu Jiang was unsure whether this was a temporary stop or the final destination.

But regardless of which station, the most important thing for Chu Jiang is whether he can safely return to reality.

If we land here, the situation doesn't seem very optimistic...

Moreover, Chu Jiang had already confirmed that it was more dangerous outside the car than inside. If he got out of the car, and the woman in the kimono turned out to be a terrifying ghost, he might be attacked by both ghosts.

At that point, let alone returning to reality, you might even lose your life here.

Last but not least, the car door on Chu Jiang's side didn't open automatically. Does this mean the taxi driver didn't intend for him to get off at this stop?

Just as Chu Jiang was pondering, the passenger door closed by itself, and then the taxi started up again.

Clearly, this is not the final destination; there is still a road ahead, but we don't know where it leads...

Chu Jiang thought it over and over, but finally decided not to get out of the car. He wanted to see where this ghost taxi was going to take him.

During this time, the woman in the kimono kept staring at the taxi, or more precisely, at Chu Jiang inside the car.

Even when the white-clad female ghost floated onto the platform, she ignored her completely.

Chu Jiang observed, "Eyes focused on the nose, nose focused on the heart." When encountering a ghost, if you don't want to trigger its murderous patterns, the best approach is to do nothing, not even look at it.

As the taxi started moving again and gradually drove away from the station, Chu Jiang suddenly remembered something. He took out his phone and dialed the operator's number with one click.

To his surprise, the call actually went through this time.

"Hello," Chu Jiang immediately picked up his phone to answer.

"Hello, is this Captain Chu? Your company's employees say you're missing. Where are you now...?"

Chen Yuting had only spoken halfway when Chu Jiang could no longer hear her clearly; all he could hear was a noisy rustling sound.

Moreover, the call was interrupted just as the taxi was driving back into the white fog.

Not long after, the call was abruptly ended.

Chu Jiang shook his head, realizing he had been careless; it seemed that not all places were completely cut off from contact with the outside world.

However, having learned from this experience, Chu Jiang is now prepared to immediately start making a call the next time the taxi stops.

After driving for a while, the fog ahead completely dissipated, and Chu Jiang found himself back on that endless highway.

This was giving him a real headache. Was he just going to keep driving like this forever?

......

Half an hour later, Chu Jiang's eyes lit up because he saw a tall building appear in the distance on the right side of the road.

The taxi gradually slowed down and eventually stopped in front of the building with its passengers.

Moreover, this time, the car door next to Chu Jiang opened automatically.

The building looks like a gloomy Western castle; the entire castle is surrounded by a black iron fence, which is covered with withered vines.

Chu Jiang dialed the phone while not getting out of the car in a hurry.

But now, it's clear that he can't just refuse to get off; the moment the call connected, the taxi drove off on its own.

Chu Jiang was, of course, "thrown off" from the car at the same time, or rather, passed through it.

Before falling, Chu Jiang stretched out his legs and forced himself to stand firmly on the ground.

Then, while talking to Chen Yuting, he looked at the eerie ancient castle.

Behind a double, openwork iron gate, in front of the castle, stood six people. They were dressed differently, men and women, and all of them were looking at themselves in the doorway.

Counting from left to right, the first one is a male student carrying a shoulder bag, wearing glasses, and looking very nervous. He should be a high school student or a college student.

The second one was a woman wearing a white shirt and a black suit with a bow tie around her neck. She looked like a hotel or shopping mall employee, or a real estate agent.

She frowned slightly, looking quite worried about the current situation.

The third was a strong, bald man wearing a gray coat, his eyes scanning the surroundings like a wolf.

The fourth was a man who was so thin he was practically skin and bones. Although he was wearing a thick coat, his abnormally gaunt face still frightened people at first glance.

The fifth was a brown-haired white man wearing a firefighter's uniform, looking dejected.

The sixth was a petite woman wearing a police uniform, but the style didn't look like that of China; it seemed more like that of an island nation. Her uniform even had the words "Police Office" on it.

After a brief observation, Chu Jiang was able to determine that they were mostly human, and that there were even two ghost masters among them...

Standing at the entrance of the ancient castle, Chu Jiang did not rush to enter through the iron gate, but continued to communicate with Chen Yuting.

Soon, Chu Jiang learned what had happened after he "disappeared".

When Chen Ke'er first saw the phone call end midway through the conversation, she thought the boss was impatient, so she waited anxiously in the apartment for a while.

But seeing that Chu Jiang hadn't arrived for a long time, she assumed he was angry. However, she couldn't get through to him on the phone, so she drove to the company that very night...

Chapter 235 The Participants

Chen Ke'er couldn't find Chu Jiang at the company, and then she started to panic. With her excellent ability to fill in the blanks, she immediately realized that something had happened to Chu Jiang.

As for what happened, there are too many possibilities, such as a car accident, being abducted by aliens, overloading of the emotional circuits, etc.

Of course, Chen Ke'er also realized that she might have encountered a ghost, after all, her boss had told her about it.

So Chen Ke'er contacted her secretary, Li Xiaolang, who in turn notified headquarters, and an investigation began from all sides...
