As they got closer, almost close enough to see her outline clearly, despite the blur, the headlights illuminated the figure of the woman.
However, she did not move away from the center of the road; it seemed she wanted Xu Qian to stop the car!
Yet, just when they were nearly within reach, a flash of menace flickered in Xu Qian's eyes. Instead of stopping, he slammed down on the accelerator.
...Vroom...
The engine's roar propelled the car forward suddenly, followed by a chilling scream.
That scream made Xia Xiaoyu fully understand what a wailing ghost sounded like.
"Who was that just now?"
Xia Xiaoyu turned back to glance at the woman dressed in Qing Dynasty attire lying in the middle of the road and couldn't help but ask.
"We've come this far without encountering anyone. Does she look human to you?"
Xu Qian felt a tremor inside; if he hadn't heard similar stories from Zifeng before, he wouldn't have dared to drive straight into her.
Because Zifeng had mentioned that encountering strange people at night, especially within a designated barrier, meant you should never stop. Otherwise, they would come up and kill you!
"It seems we've hit the jackpot! Out of billions of people in China who haven't encountered such bizarre events, we stumbled upon one. If I had known this would happen, I should have bought a lottery ticket!" Xu Qian's grip on the steering wheel trembled uncontrollably. The sensation of crashing into that eerie woman felt so real that he had an illusion of actually killing a real person.
Regardless, he was a psychologist, not a cold-blooded killer; he couldn't be as indifferent and composed as Zifeng.
"This is a deadly place!" He looked around at the still pitch-black surroundings, feeling even more terrified by the hazy darkness.
This made Xia Xiaoyu feel as if she were walking alone in a dark alley.
Now, inside the car, this cramped space was the only thing giving her a sense of safety.
“Xia Xiaoyu, look!”
Lin Xi, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly shouted again.
Following the sound, Xia Xiaoyu turned to see something that made her break out in a cold sweat. In the glow of the headlights, she saw a woman dressed in Qing Dynasty attire lying in the middle of the road.
Had they returned to where they started?
“Is it another ghost wall?”
Xu Qian felt a surge of frustration as the car did not stop and sped forward again.
“What is going on?” Lin Xi swallowed hard, completely stunned by this bizarre scene.
“We need to find a way out; otherwise, that thing can keep playing tricks on us…”
Xu Qian was becoming increasingly anxious. The severity of the situation had exceeded his expectations.
He didn’t have Zifeng’s twisted abilities or magical powers to deal with this; he could only rely on his wits and confront the entity head-on.
This time, Xu Qian didn’t drive straight ahead because he knew that if he did, they would end up back at that same spot again!
As he approached, he saw a fork in the road and chose another path, thinking of ways to escape while speaking.
"What should we do now?"
Lin Xi and Xia Xiaoyu had lost their ability to think clearly and could only look at Xu Qian.
"Wait!"
Xu Qian softly uttered a single word.
"Wait!" Lin Xi and Xia Xiaoyu both looked at Xu Qian in confusion.
Xu Qian suddenly stopped the car, turned around to face the two of them, and said seriously, "We don't have much gas left. If we keep driving like this, the car will run out of fuel in less than half an hour! All we can do now is wait! Wait for my friend to come rescue us!"
"But are we just going to sit here and do nothing? What if your friend doesn't come? We'll be stuck here forever!"
Xia Xiaoyu didn't want to stay in this place for even a moment longer; the silence was maddening and suffocating.
"I'm sorry, I'm a useless man!"
Xu Qian said with frustration.
If he had some ability, perhaps he could have safely taken them out. If he had the capability, maybe Nana wouldn't have died back then.
