Sitting in the taxi, Chen Ge talked to Xiao Gu on the phone twice, and only after making sure that the red raincoat did not come back did he breathe a sigh of relief.

"The first task tonight is to bring Xiao Gu back safely, and the matter in the eastern suburbs will be dealt with slowly in the future."

Chen Ge has his own concerns, the taxi driver and Xiao Gu are ordinary people, and Chen Ge doesn't want to implicate them.

The rain hit the car window, blurring the vision, and the clouds were gathering outside the window, and it felt like the whole night sky was falling downward.

"The weather forecast is uncertain, it says it's light rain, how long has it been raining?" The driver was a young man, looking about the same age as Chen Ge, he was staring intently at the road ahead, because of the weather, he didn't dare to be distracted in the slightest.

"When we get to the place in a moment, I'll pick up someone and come back in your car. Don't worry, I won't let you run empty. Chen Ge retracted his gaze.

"I'm not worried about the fare." The driver didn't look back: "Do you think it's very evil in the rain today?" The further I ran to the eastern suburbs, the heavier the rain became, and the road was so flooded that I couldn't even see the curb now. ”

"What's wrong with this? Are you too sensitive? Chen Ge chuckled softly.

"It's better to believe what you have than not to believe in it, and there are some things that can't be said clearly." The driver pointed to the Buddhist beads hanging under the rearview mirror: "I used to carry passengers from the eastern suburbs, and they are very superstitious and have a lot of rules. Like if there is a newborn in the house, a man must first stomp his feet at the door before entering the house when he comes home; If you dream of something bad, you have to turn over the pillow when you wake up; When you receive a call after 12 p.m., don't speak first; At the scene of the car accident, if you see a strange car passing by, don't come close, etc. At first, I didn't believe in these things, but then they told me I was scared. ”

The lights on both sides of the road are getting darker and darker, and the driver looks at the wipers swinging from side to side, a little nervous: "They also have the most scary legend here, walking at night when it rains heavily, it is easy to get lost, and it looks like it is going in the direction of home, but in fact, it goes farther and farther, and finally comes to a completely unfamiliar place." ”

"And this?" Chen Ge came to the spirit, and many urban weird talks are actually produced for a certain reason, most of them are related to reality, and they are not completely made up by people.

"Although there have been no major vicious cases in the eastern suburbs, four-fifths of the disappearances in the entire Jiujiang every year occur in the eastern suburbs, and this place is like eating people."

The driver said very evilly, and Chen Ge also took the driver's words to heart after listening to it: "Drive well, if you really encounter something strange, we will call the police directly." ”

"Call the police?" The driver was a little uncomfortable with Chen Ge's jumping thinking: "It's okay, I'm just kind enough to remind you, it's best not to run to the eastern suburbs alone in the middle of the night in the future, this place is relatively deserted......"

In the middle of speaking, the driver suddenly closed his mouth, he squinted ahead, and suddenly hit the steering wheel!

The taxi changed direction suddenly, Chen Ge's body hit the door, he didn't say a word, his hand reached into his backpack, and decisively pressed the switch of the repeater.

The speed slowed down, and the driver gasped for air, his forehead drenched with sweat.

"What's going on?"

"There seems to be a man standing in the middle of the road just now."

"Are you wrong? It's raining and it's dark, who is going to stand in the middle of the road? Chen Ge fumbled in his backpack with both hands, as if he had grabbed something.

"Impossible." The driver wiped the sweat from his forehead and glanced to the side, and it was pitch black outside the window.

"Can you describe to me what the man looks like? Is she wearing a red raincoat? ”

"If you don't wear a raincoat, it's just a shadow, maybe I'm wrong." The driver rubbed his head, took off the Buddhist beads hanging from the rearview mirror and put them on his wrist, and then continued to drive forward.

"Don't drive too fast, there are more rivers in the eastern suburbs, safety first." Chen Ge is not afraid of the ghost, what he is worried about is that the ghost will attack the driver, if the driver has an accident when the vehicle is driving at high speed, then he will also follow to die.

The rustling of electricity resounded inside the taxi, and the raindrops outside the window seemed to deliberately avoid the taxi.

The two came to the eastern suburbs waterworks without danger, Chen Ge asked the driver to wait at the gate, put on a raincoat and hat, opened the car door, and walked into the rain.

As soon as he got out of the car, Chen Ge felt inexplicably depressed, and he would have a strange feeling when he watched anything.

It was familiar, as if the scene had been experienced before, or had been dreamed of in a dream.

Being in the midst of the torrential rain, the sound of raindrops falling in his ears was slowly stripped away, Chen Ge frowned slightly, and he took out his mobile phone to call Xiao Gu.

The ringtone came into his ears, but no one answered, and the rain became heavier and heavier, but Chen Ge couldn't hear the sound of the rain falling to the ground, and only the busy sound on the mobile phone was left in his ears.

It was as if he was isolated from the world, darkness pouring in from all directions, and all that was left in sight was the dilapidated door of the waterworks.

The wind blows, the iron door shakes, and the laughter and cries of children come from it, a lot, very miscellaneous.

Small footprints began to appear on the puddles, and something rushed out of the waterworks, running and jumping, surrounding Chen Ge in the middle.

The body stiffened, and a buried memory slowly emerged.

When he was very young, Chen Ge's parents had told him not to go to the eastern suburbs, but there was a school outing, and the selected location happened to be in the eastern suburbs.

While playing near a reservoir, he heard his name called, and then he walked through the woods accompanied by his teacher, and at the end of the road he saw a blood-red house, surrounded by many children playing and laughing, and the scene was the same as now.

"It seems that most of the anomalies in the eastern suburbs are related to the red house, could the out-of-control door in Liwan Town also be related to the red house?"

The footprints slowly approached, and Chen Ge's pupils narrowed, but even if he had a yin pupil, he still couldn't see those things clearly.

"These imps seem to blend in completely with their surroundings."

The child's cries and laughter came to his side from far and near, hugged his legs, and slowly climbed up his body.

Chen Ge clenched the skull crusher hammer, and when he was about to summon Xu Yin out, the cold feeling on his body disappeared again.

The children cried and fled from him, and at the same time, a somewhat familiar voice came from a distance.

"Chen Ge ......"

Looking up, Chen Ge found a figure standing inside the waterworks, about the same height and size as himself.

"Who are you?"

"Me?" The figure lifted his hands and slowly stabbed into his chest, pulling another child out of his body.

The child's face was blurred, three or four points similar to Chen Ge's childhood, his neck was crooked, as if someone had broken it by force.

"I'm the kid you killed......"

"Killed by me?" Chen Ge dragged the skull crusher hammer and pondered for a long time: "But why don't I have any impression at all? Why don't you come over and let me take a closer look at your face? ”
