Chapter 12: Strange Things in the Rain
After enjoying a big meal in the restaurant, we went to the Internet café to play online games. Although I don't have much of a hobby for these games on a daily basis, I also had to force myself to learn one or two online games in order to fit in. But after such a long time, I still haven't found the excitement exuded by Liu Daring and Xu Kun in the game.
After the game, we drove in the direction of Phoenix Manor. It's half past eleven o'clock in the evening, and even at twelve o'clock in the evening in the big cities, the street lights on both sides of the highway are not going out. Even in the suburbs, there are no exceptions.
However, when we drove onto the road leading to Phoenix Manor, the street lights on both sides of the road turned off as if they were against us.
Suddenly, the road that was clearly visible was shrouded in a thick layer of darkness. In desperation, we had to rely on the weak headlights and move forward slowly.
Not long after walking, a drizzle began to fall in the sky, and although the rain was not heavy, it did not take long to wet the gray ground. In addition, now we can't see the road clearly because the windshield is covered by a layer of water droplets, so I turned on the windshield wipers of the car.
Strangely, the wipers didn't last a few times before they stopped on their own. After that, no matter how I drove it, it didn't move, and I thought it should have been used for a long time, and it burned out when I used it.
"This car rental company is really shady enough, no wonder we told us that the car rental price is discounted, it turns out that the cars rented to us are all defective cars, and there are problems on them." Looking at the scene in front of me, Liu Daring beside me suddenly became angry and scolded sharply.
Although I feel the same way as him, I am not as irritable as him, but now the windshield is completely blocked by rain, and if I continue to drive, there is a high risk of a traffic accident. So, we decided to pull over to the side of the road and wait for the rain to light up while we continued on our way.
After agreeing, I pulled the car over to the side of the road in a dozen directions. After the fire was turned off, I turned on the stereo. Now we need some soft music to soothe our irritable emotions.
Sure enough, after hearing a burst of pleasant soft music, the anger in our hearts did lessen a little.
The current season, although it is not particularly cold, is not warm either, and it is raining outside the car at the moment. Therefore, the three of us couldn't help but feel a little cold. I turned on the warm air of the car to a low position, and immediately, a warm warm air blew out of the fan and hit the three of us in the face.
As the warm wind continued to increase, the three of us couldn't help but feel a little sleepy, and at this moment, there was a burst of soft music in our ears, so that the three of us couldn't help but fall asleep after a few minutes.
In my sleep, I couldn't help but think of the picture scroll hanging in the lobby, only to see the woman on the scroll, slowly walking out of the painting like a ghost, and the rose held on the palm of the hand is still dripping blood downward.
As for the black cat that followed him, it also swallowed it precisely in the moment of blood dripping. And the satisfied expression on its face made me feel a little creepy.
Just then, a dull sound of the door opening suddenly woke me from my sleep. When my eyes opened, I instinctively hit a spirit, I turned around to look, only to see Xu Kun get out of the car and run all the way to the grass in the distance. While running, Xu Kun could still be heard whispering to himself: "Suffocated, suffocated, you shouldn't drink so much beer at night." ”
With a wry smile, I opened the window next to me, only to feel that the moment the window opened, a cold wind mixed with humidity suddenly rushed into the car, making me shiver up and down. A moment later, drops of cold rain splashed down my face through the cracks, which made me sober up a lot.
After a while, Xu Kun climbed into the car and saw that I had woken up, Xu Kun complained: "Ouyang, not only has the rain not stopped, it is getting heavier and heavier, I think we still take advantage of the rain to drive slowly, and hurry back to Phoenix Manor to say, I always have a bad premonition when I stay in the car." ”
Listening to him, I couldn't help but feel that there seemed to be a strange aura in the air. So, I whispered a word and reached out with the towel from the car to wipe the windshield that had long been covered by the rain.
I don't know why, after I wiped the rain away, the raindrops that fell from the sky involuntarily bypassed the area I had wiped. This was a bit of a surprise to me.
Taking advantage of the fact that I could see the road clearly, I hurriedly started the car and rushed towards the Phoenix Manor at a relatively gentle speed. There are still less than ten kilometers from this road to Phoenix Manor, and as long as we drive steadily, we should be able to rush back soon.
At first, there were no problems with the ride, and the road was fairly smooth. But when I passed through a tree-lined avenue, some of the rainwater accumulated on the branches and leaves was splashed on the car. I saw that in the moment of rain, a black figure suddenly appeared in front of the car. And if you look closely, isn't that person the beautiful woman I saw on the scroll before?
It's just that at this moment, she looks completely different from the one on the picture scroll. Not only was the white palm covered by pieces of black corpse spots, but even the beautiful face had been soaked in a layer of bright red blood at the moment, and a pair of already blue eyes stared at us in the car tightly, as for the bright rose in her hand, it had withered and withered at the moment.
Seeing this, I couldn't help but feel a little panicked, and the soles of my feet involuntarily stepped on the brakes to the bottom. I only felt that at the moment when the soles of my feet were forced, the car stopped in place violently, and on the other hand, at this moment, there was a sudden forward momentum on the bodies of the three of us, making the bodies of the three of us fall forward uncontrollably, if we were not wearing seat belts at this moment, I am afraid it would be time to go to the hospital.
This change made Xu and Liu, who were already asleep, wake up from their dreams, staring at me in front of them with a panicked expression.
"Ouyang, you usually look very steady, why are you driving so recklessly today, eh, it hurts me to death." Rubbing his nose with his palm, which had been hit with soreness, Liu Daring's eyes were squeezed with tears, and he asked helplessly.
"That woman, I saw the woman on the scroll, just now, she suddenly appeared in front of our car." I thought back to what had just happened in a matter of seconds. After a few moments, my words trembled. Although I am a priest by profession, I should be the youngest in the entire industry.
After all, my master only taught me self-cultivation since I was a child, but he didn't teach me any way to increase my courage. So much so that every time I see something supernatural, I will behave so embarrassed.
"Ouyang, you can't be serious, this thing is not a joke, we both know that you can see dirty things, if you really brake urgently because you saw that kind of thing just now, then a few of us will be in danger." Xu Kun seemed to hear the timidity in my words, so he patted me on the shoulder in the back seat and asked in a low voice.
Both of them know very well what I can channel, and they both are beneficiaries. So, if I say I saw something dirty near us, then the two of them would be convinced.
Not long after Xu Kun's words fell, my head nodded affirmatively, and both of them began to panic when they saw my serious expression. Although there is a sacrificial road sitting in the car, it is the weakest one in the entire industry, and now I don't have a magic weapon in my hand, except for the gourd left by my master, there is nothing else.
After all, in my impression, the treasure gourd is not aggressive except for being able to collect souls. Therefore, if we encounter something dirty at this time, we can only be beaten passively.
As the minutes passed, the rain in the sky stopped, but the atmosphere inside the car became extremely heavy. The three of us, you look at me, I look at you, we don't know what to do.
At this moment, the small lights in the car suddenly turned on, enveloping us in a layer of dim light. At this time, the three of us looked at each other, and we couldn't help but be a little puzzled.
"Liu Daring, you have nothing to do with the lights, turn on the lights now, aren't you just telling that thing that we are in the car?" His eyes swept over the light not far away, and a complaint came out of Xu Kun's mouth.
And Liu Daring, when he heard this, he was also aggrieved, and explained: "I didn't turn it on, I don't believe you asked Ouyang, the switch is at the top, if I turn it on, then Ouyang can definitely see it." ”
"It's true that it hasn't been opened, just now Liu Daring's hands have been in the pockets of his clothes, and he has never left." I replied affirmatively, and my eyes couldn't help but move to the inner lights overhead, only to see that the display button of the interior lights at this moment was staying at the door. In other words, the sudden opening of the headlights is all due to the door being opened.
Under my inquiry, Liu Daring and Xu Kun both unanimously affirmed that they had never touched the door of the car. In this way, the reason why the lights turned on just now should be because someone quietly opened the door. And none of the three of us sitting in the car touched the door, right?
Thinking of this, my head couldn't help but tighten a little, goosebumps fell to the ground, and I turned my head to look at the two people behind me with a nervous look. But just as I was about to speak, the lights in the car suddenly went out.
When we fell into the horror and darkness again, we couldn't help but feel a little frightened in our hearts, and we always felt as if there were a pair of eyes staring at us behind us.
"Ouyang, you didn't want to say just now that the reason why the lights are on is because someone quietly opened the door outside the car. And the person who opened the car door was the woman in the picture scroll you just saw? As if he understood my intentions in an instant, Xu Kun swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva on the back seat, and then timidly analyzed.
As soon as Xu Kun's words fell, an arm covered by black corpse spots suddenly appeared in the car, and drops of red blood slowly dripped from the black palm. And from the long withered rose in his hand, it can be inferred that this arm should be the female ghost I saw just now, the woman in the picture scroll of Phoenix Manor.
