Chapter 588: Taxi (3)

Zhuang Baoli rolled on the ground, trying to get away from the man and the taxi. But when he looked up, he found that although the taxi was parked in the middle of the road and the rear door was open, there was no fire in the front seat.

The driver got out of the taxi and scolded angrily: "What kind of nerves are you! Jump out of the car and find death! He scolded loudly, blushed and thick-necked, and looked angry, but in fact he was frightened.

Zhuang Baoli and the driver looked at each other.

He was shocked to find that the driver had changed.

It's not that the driver looks so impressive, just turning around, makes him remember this person's appearance in horror, but the person in front of him is dressed differently than before.

A white-washed shirt and a bells and whistles printed T-shirt, he can still easily tell the difference.

As for the face...... It seems that one has a square face and the other has a round face. The hairstyle is also different, the driver's hair is a little long, and the driver in front of him is a standard round size.

The driver was furious by Zhuang Baoli. He took a step back, his previous anger gone, and asked in horror, "Are you alright?" ”

He wondered if he had a nervous breakdown, maybe he was still a licensed ......

The vehicles blocked by them honked their horns, and the drivers came out to shout and curse.

It's the morning rush hour, and no one is in the mood to watch the excitement, just thinking that they can get out of the way quickly.

The driver looked around, and then at Zhuang Baoli, "Count me unlucky...... If you're okay, I'll go. I won't charge you any more for this order. ”

He hesitated, wanted to leave, and was afraid that Zhuang Baoli would make something happen again.

Zhuang Baoli's focused, confused gaze had already taken away from the driver and looked at the taxi.

The passenger seat of the taxi is empty.

There was no one there.

There may have been no one there from the beginning.

Zhuang Baoli broke out in a cold sweat again.

When the hell did he fall asleep?

A hand suddenly grabbed his arm.

Zhuang Baoli was startled and almost jumped up from the ground. He reflexively flicked his arm, but he couldn't break free of the other's hand.

"It doesn't matter to you, does it? Can you stand up? A kind voice came from beside him.

Zhuang Baoli turned his head to look and saw a strange young man preparing to help him up.

He relaxed all at once.

Maybe it's because the other party looks very kind and talks very kindly......

While helping himself up, the other party also greeted the taxi driver and apologized to him.

Everyone is on their way to work, and they don't want to do much. Seeing that Zhuang Baoli was in charge of someone here, they dispersed one after another.

Zhuang Baoli was pulled to the side of the road by the other party in a bit of confusion.

"Would you like to drink some water and sit down for a while?"

Zhuang Baoli shook his head, still unable to give up.

"Can you tell me what's going on?"

Zhuang Baoli swallowed. Before he knew it, he told what had just happened.

“…… I was probably too tired and nervous...... My daughter has been in a tantrum lately and is also under a lot of pressure to study...... It may be that I did too well in the last exam, and I am afraid that I will not be able to do well in the next exam...... She went above and beyond last time...... Just because of the reward for her, our family went on a cruise to play...... When I was a child, I was very afraid of water, and I was sick in the rain, so I was afraid of water. I thought it was all right, after so many years...... Maybe it's because of the little imp I met on the boat - ah, it's a boy, the same age as my daughter. Boys are mischievous and love to tell ghost stories. When I listened to it, I didn't think that it might be that I had a lot of stamina......" Zhuang Baoli became more and more divergent the more he spoke, and said some of the thoughts in his heart these days.

It's not like he didn't think about why he had nightmares all the time. There are only a few reasons for this. Or it could be that these reasons are stacked together.

He'd heard some stories before, too. Children are most likely to learn badly when they are in junior high school. And when a family encounters this kind of thing, it will collapse with it. There are also parents who have problems that cause their children to have problems. The latter is a bit more common. But in their family, he and Luo Lanjun haven't encountered any changes recently. There is only Zhuang Xuexia, who has performed exceptionally well in exams, met new friends on rewarding trips, changed hormones in her body during puberty, and her personality has become a little eccentric......

Zhuang Baoli thought about it, and felt that the problem was still Zhuang Xuexia. He is concerned and chaotic. Because he was worried about his daughter, he became suspicious and mentally weakened.

The first time he had a nightmare, he dreamed of that man because Zhuang Xuexia ran away without saying a word......

After he said this, it was as if he had completed a self-enlightenment, and he raised his head in relief.

He looked at the young man who had suddenly appeared.

"Thank you. Delayed your work, right? Zhuang Baoli said politely and embarrassedly.

"It's fine. It's fine if you're okay. The other party looked at him, and his thoughtful eyes made Zhuang Baoli a little uncomfortable.

Zhuang Baoli asked, "What's your name?" Oh, my name is Zhuang Baoli. Add a friend. Thank you so much for today. I still have to go to work. Let's have dinner when you get off work. ”

He wasn't such an enthusiastic and outgoing person, but the youth in front of him made him involuntarily feel close and wanted to get to know each other.

"My name is Li Yun." Li Yun is as good as a stream, and he and Zhuang Baoli are friends.

Zhuang Baoli smiled again. He was still in a hurry to go to work. He was still a little frightened in his heart, taking a taxi or taking the subway...... It's uncomfortable to think about.

Li Yun saw his hesitation and offered to send him to the company.

This is really strange advice for strangers who are new to each other.

However, Zhuang Baoli gladly accepted.

Along the way, he said a lot to Li Yun.

He didn't have anyone to talk to before. Even for Luo Lanjun, he was reluctant to say this. When I met such a stranger, I was willing to speak.

Zhuang Baoli did not have doubts about his abnormality. Under the influence of Li Yun's ability, he was unguarded against Li Yun, like a confidant and friend for many years, and he had nothing to talk about.

Li Yun was kind and inquiring about Zhuang Baoli's family's previous cruise trip.

That's where the first strange thing happened.

Is there something wrong with that cruise ship, or does that Xiao Ming have special abilities?

Li Yun pondered.

He asked Zhuang Baoli for Xiao Ming's contact information.

Zhuang Baoli naturally did not have the contact information of the boy, but he had been friends with his father, but after the trip, he did not contact again.

Li Yun sent Zhuang Baoli to his company and broke up with him to say goodbye.

He looked at the unread messages on his phone.

Zhuang Xuexia sent several.

It took him a little time to get off the bus, stop the car, and catch up with Zhuang Baoli. If Zhuang Baoli hadn't jumped out of the car halfway, he would have had to spend more time catching up with the other party. ωω

He reported his safety to Zhuang Xuexia at that time, but he didn't elaborate on what happened.

Zhuang Xuexia should have started class at this time.

Li Yun only briefly said what happened, and then asked about the cruise ship.

He took a taxi and went back to the hotel.

Zhuang Xuexia probably remembered this matter, and she didn't pay attention to it in class, and quickly replied to Li Yun with a long content.

She hadn't thought about it on the cruise. Listening to Li Yun's inquiry, I was shocked to realize that the first person in the house to have a nightmare was Zhuang Baoli, and it was on the cruise ship, after listening to the ghost story she relayed.

Zhuang Xuexia became nervous.

Li Yun replied soothingly:

Zhuang Xuexia did not reply. I don't know if I listened to Li Yun's words, or if there was something else.

Li Yun didn't feel that she was in danger, so he put the matter aside.

He first searched the Internet for information about the cruise ship.

In the ghost story told by Zhuang Xuexia, the Ocean Superstar is an old ship refitted by the ghost ship, formerly known as the Ocean Titan, which used to be a passenger ship operating on European and American routes. Li Yun only searched for the tour introduction of this cruise ship on the Chinese website, and tried to search on the foreign language website, but found the information of the Ocean Giant.

It's just that the matter has nothing to do with the ghost story that Zhuang Xuexia said.

The Ocean Titan sailed for five years, and because of the change in the equity of the shipping company that operated it, it was followed by a business restructuring and the closure of all passenger projects, and the Ocean Giant was also sold cheaply. The big ship stayed quietly in the dockyard for more than four years, and then it was sold and sent to a small port, converted into a special hotel restaurant, and operated until more than a decade ago, when it was shut down and abandoned because of poor performance.

As for the Ocean Superstar, as the introduction of the travel agency said, it is a "new ship" that was built and delivered only ten years ago.

On the contrary, the parent companies of the two have some connections, "500 years ago they were the same": equity splits, transfers, relatives to open affiliated enterprises, mergers, acceptance of venture capital, listing, new subsidiaries......

In this way, it is difficult to say whether there is any "supernatural" connection between the two ships.

But Li Yun searched for a long time, but he didn't find any related ghost stories.

Li Yun thought about it, and still sent a message to Bai Wuchang.

If there is another "Yu Star", it can be big or small.

He looked at the screen of his phone, his expression a little dark.

If it is really another "Yu Star", it makes sense for the boss to push this matter in front of him.

After Li Yun returned to the hotel, he thought for a long time and sent a message to Kong Dongmei.

Compared with him, Kong Dongmei, an insider, must know more information.

Some things aren't going to be posted on the internet, but people like them may have heard of it.

To Li Yun's surprise, Kong Dongmei did know about the cruise ship. What surprised Li Yun even more was that Kong Dongmei's source was Meng Sinan. She directly asked Li Yun to contact Meng Sinan.

Meng Sinan was a passenger on the inaugural voyage of the Ocean Superstar.

Ten years ago, Peng Yun and Meng Sinan were both about to graduate from college and had already started internships. The first month's internship salary was not high, but Peng Yun got a scholarship that year, which is not a small amount of money. He intended to honor his parents, and when he thought of sending a little Meng Sinan, he invited him to join their family trip.

Meng Sinan's mother had died at the time, and his father was accustomed to disappearing. Peng Yun's parents have always sympathized and pitied him, treating him as half a son, and they have no objection at all to taking Meng Sinan on the trip, and they are very much in favor.

For Peng Yun's family of three, the trip was very pleasant, and there were no waves.

For Meng Sinan, the trip was pleasant, just a little wave.

He saw a ghost on that ship.

The ghost wanders around the deck at night, not attacking people, and not sane. Looking at the dress, I can't see the clues.

Meng Sinan often encountered such ghosts, but he chose to turn a blind eye and pretend that nothing had happened.

Nothing really happened.

But to be careful, he still said hello to Kong Dongmei.

After all, ghosts are not set in stone. No one knows when they will disappear silently or suddenly become murderous demons.

Kong Dongmei also boarded the ship to investigate afterwards and overtook the ghost, but she still didn't know the origin of the ghost.

Such things are not uncommon.

There are always such ignorant and unconscious ghosts wandering around. The ghost may have just accidentally floated onto the boat and stayed on the ship.

Li Yun asked, "Are there any rumors of haunting on that ship?" ”

Meng Sinan recalled and replied, "It's quite a lot...... There was an old crew member on that ship, who had been a crew member all his life, who had worked on many ships, who liked to tell ghost stories, and told us many stories about ghost ships, ghost ships, and so on. I don't know if it's true or not......" he paused, "Peng Yun is just a listener. At least, I didn't hear him relay those stories to anyone. ”

Even if there were, with Peng Yun's death, the ghosts born from it should have disappeared.

"Which ones do you remember?" Li Yun asked.

Meng Sinan still took some time to reminisce.

Because of Peng Yun's ability, Meng Sinan's memory of the past is a little confused. Although he already knew the "truth" that had been tampered with by Peng Yun's ability, he had been with Peng Yun for so long, and he had been in close contact with him for almost two-thirds of his life, and he had said so many things and talked about so many things every day...... There are so many trivial things that it is difficult to distinguish them all.

Normally, he wouldn't have cared about that. But he knew what Li Yun was going to do, so he could only recall it carefully and try to distinguish it.

"What impressed me the most was the story of a dolphin. Presumably, there are pods of dolphins swimming with the cruise ship. One of them was a dolphin that jumped up and sank into the sea, never to be seen again. Red blood appeared in the waves. The dolphin must have been injured by the oars and died. Meng Sinan said indifferently, "The other dolphins let out a mournful roar, unwilling to leave the cruise ship, and even crashed into the hull of the ship, knocking themselves all over the body. After that, there was always some red ...... in the water."

Before the story was finished, the crew was reprimanded by their foreman and called to work. The foreman smiled and comforted Peng Yun and Meng Sinan, who were watching dolphins, saying that this kind of thing often happened on sea voyages, but their ship had never encountered such a thing.

Peng Yun said at the time: "If you follow the routine of horror movies, this ship should be cursed after that, and the captain, crew, and passengers will die mysteriously." ”

Meng Sinan recalled, "...... But on that trip, I only saw that one ghost, and nothing happened. ”

Peng Yun's words did not come true.

Li Yun frowned.

"There are other common ghost stories, ghost ships, krakens, Bermuda triangle and the like...... Meng Sinan continued.

Li Yun was suspicious of the crew member who told the ghost story.

According to Zhuang Xuexia, Xiao Ming also heard the story from the crew.

But if this were the case, the Ocean Superstar would have suffered countless casualties and was forced to stop sailing, right?

Meng Sinan and they took the Ocean Superstar ten years ago, and nothing strange happened. Xiao Ming's family, who took the Ocean Superstar with Zhuang Xuexia and their family, didn't seem to have encountered anything strange.

Only Zhuang Xuexia's family had problems.

Was it something their family did on the ship?

Li Yun thought about it and sent messages to both Zhuang Xuexia and Zhuang Baoli.
