Chapter 5: The Disappearing Mask
“No matter what, this kid must die today.”
Just based on everything this kid has shown, he cannot live.
Some things cannot be exposed.
They in Taiping Ancient Town cannot fall because of one ordinary person.
One of He Liansheng’s eyes flickered with eerie green light, and soon inside the Ghost Domain, mist drifted, and a thick stench of corpses appeared.
A illusory figure quickly appeared beside He Liansheng.
The Faceless Person was startled in his heart, “No way.”
Text appeared, He Liansheng did not speak, but ahead the taxi’s taillights at the bus tail were almost invisible.
Relying on the Ghost Domain already couldn’t catch up.
If no other means were used, then this kid couldn’t be killed today.
At this moment, inside the bus, Lin Qian’s heart suddenly throbbed, he instinctively turned back to look, behind was empty, but looking carefully, he could see the streetlights along the way flickering strangely once.
Then it returned to calm.
Seeing this scene, Lin Qian’s face darkened.
Something really was chasing after them!
The other party was obviously anxious, not even bothering to fully hide the supernatural.
The thing coming definitely possessed a Ghost Domain.
Lin Qian turned back and glanced at the driver’s meter.
Three hundred twenty.
But even this speed wasn’t safe.
How to survive?
Lin Qian’s mind raced.
In the current situation, to escape from Taiping Ancient Town’s grasp, either possess a Ghost Domain, or hide in a place the other party dared not go, or quickly leave Dayuan City before the other party could catch up.
“Driver, how long until the highway?”
Lin Qian suddenly asked.
“Three minutes.”
The driver focused intently on the front, as the speed increased, the driver didn’t dare to be careless anymore.
Three minutes.
Lin Qian glanced behind, that ominous premonition was getting closer, and as time passed, the ghost dormant in his body began to stir slightly.
Clearly, a similar one nearby was approaching.
“Driver, do you trust me?”
Lin Qian reached out and directly hung up the driver’s mobile phone call.
“What?”
The driver was focused on driving and didn’t notice Lin Qian’s action.
“If possible, you can speed up a bit more.”
Lin Qian looked at the driver with a firm expression.
“What? What joke are you making!”
The driver was immediately shocked, a bit dazed, but at this moment he didn’t dare to be distracted.
“Not joking, driver, at this speed now, it’s hard to stop.”
“But as long as you hold steady, we won’t die right now.”
“But if you don’t speed up, we might die soon!”
That ominous premonition was getting closer.
That thing was about to catch up to them.
“What do you mean?”
The driver was somewhat confused.
What did he mean by might die soon?
Lin Qian glanced behind, the driver hadn’t noticed, of course he had no time to notice.
The streetlights behind them were starting to go out one by one.
Lin Qian took the driver’s mobile phone and turned it off.
“I don’t know if you’ll believe me, but what I said is true.”
“Right now, there’s a ghost chasing us from behind!”
The moment Lin Qian said this, the speed increased sharply.
“Damn, you young man, there’s a ghost chasing us and you didn’t say so earlier!”
Lin Qian was stunned, “You… believe me?”
Lin Qian was very surprised, the other party just believed so straightforwardly?
“Don’t be surprised, I’ve dominated the Taiyuan taxi market for over twenty years, what things haven’t I seen?”
“Ghosts, I’ve seen them too!”
The driver’s expression was grave, staring dead ahead, the airport rapidly passing behind.
Now they were heading straight for the toll station.
The speed was too fast.
The surrounding environment flashed by in the blink of an eye.
Vehicle speed: three hundred forty-five.
Magical speed, twenty higher than the driver’s estimated max, hard to believe this was a speed a taxi could reach.
From the side, the driver was truly talented, this guy’s modification technology was absolutely top-notch.
“Driver, once on the highway, keep going unless out of gas, don’t stop.”
Lin Qian said with a grave expression, he no longer cared if the driver had seen ghosts before.
“Young man, you’re testing my skills.”
The driver licked his dry lips.
Lin Qian gripped the seatbelt tightly, “Driver, it’s all on you, if not caught by the ghost, we might live, but if caught by the ghost, we’re dead for sure.”
Although now death was just a matter of time, it was still better than being killed by a ghost.
The driver swallowed, now it wasn’t about worrying about crashing anymore.
But about whether the ghost would catch up.
He now fully believed Lin Qian, not because Lin Qian was trustworthy, but no idiot would joke in this situation to make him go faster!
Even a mentally ill person wouldn’t.
Mentally ill people are called that because of mental issues, not because they’re stupid.
“I know.”
The driver was sweating profusely, but at this moment he didn’t even think of wiping it.
Under the night in Dayuan City, red and blue flashes sped through the streets.
On the road to the highway, all vehicles and pedestrians were cleared.
“Vehicle approaching rapidly, estimated two minutes to toll station, speed three hundred sixty and still increasing.”
The taxi flashed by, a police officer holding the walkie-talkie, looking at the numbers on the speed gun, shocked in his heart.
“Received.”
“Captain, speed three hundred sixty, can it pass the toll station?”
That opening at the toll station wasn’t that wide.
Inside the police car, a middle-aged man had a grave expression.
“No way, that driver was right, at this speed, if the curve is too sharp, it can’t pass.”
“And, the road to the city has two or three gas stations along the way, the nearest right at the intersection.”
“In this situation, unless entering the city, but at this speed into the city, if something happens, the losses would be greater.”
“Now we can only hope the driver’s skills are that good.”
“Driver’s identity investigated clearly?”
“Still investigating.”
“Speed up.”
“Yes!”
……
“What did that kid do to run so fast?”
Beside He Liansheng, an old man frowned watching the still accelerating taxi.
“It’s not what the kid did, it’s that the car lost control.”
He Liansheng said somewhat painfully.
“Lost control?” The old man frowned, “Are cars this era all this fast? Can’t catch up even with Ghost Domain?”
He Liansheng didn’t know what to say.
This old senior’s Ghost Domain range was extremely large, almost covering half the city, and his control of Ghost Domain was far superior to his.
But even so, still hadn’t caught that kid.
“So you’re planning to save the person, right?” The old man suddenly asked again.
Save him?
He Liansheng’s mouth twitched slightly, “That’s right.”
Could he say he summoned this old senior to kill the other party?
Joking, if he said that, it was over.
“Then no need to save.” The old man stopped.
“No need to save.”
The taxi disappeared at the end, the Ghost Domain stopped spreading.
He Liansheng’s face immediately darkened.
“Must save!” He Liansheng hurriedly said.
“How to save? The other party didn’t even trigger my killing pattern, I want to stop him too but can’t catch up.”
“Just one person, dead is dead, no need to waste your supernatural.”
After speaking, the old man’s figure quickly disappeared.
With the old man’s disappearance, the Ghost Domain also vanished at this moment, He Liansheng and the Faceless Person abruptly appeared on the street.
The extinguished streetlights flickered twice and lit up again.
He Liansheng’s face was gloomy, “I can confirm, that kid will be our major threat in the future.”
“No need to confirm, he is, results from the old lady’s side.”
He Liansheng looked at the text above the Faceless Person’s head, stunned for a moment then hurriedly asked:
“What result?”
The Faceless Person looked at the taxi disappearing ahead, “The mask on the Ghost Performer’s face is gone, it should be on that kid, that kid might have controlled the Ghost Performer’s mask!”
