Chapter 6: The Faceless Person That Catches Up
Da Jiang City, Tian Kai Residential Area.
“Gravedigger, you’d better give me an explanation.”
The old woman with an aged face stared coldly at the old man holding the shovel.
The old man’s face flickered with uncertainty as he recalled the scene he had seen before.
They had followed the medium to this place.
They had seen the ghost.
But they had only seen the Ghost Performer.
And the Ghost Performer had no mask on its face!
The mask had disappeared.
Even the Ghost Performer had only shown its face to them before vanishing strangely.
Even they couldn’t tell where the Ghost Performer had gone.
“The mask is gone, and that Ghost Performer doesn’t know where it went either.”
The old woman stared at the old man, “If you hadn’t let that young man go, I would have detained that Ghost Performer again by now.”
“That’s your compassion, that young man clearly has a problem, staying with a ghost for so many days and nothing happened to him.”
“And I just recovered the mask, and he just touched the medium, do you think that’s possible?”
The old man fell silent; he now understood that he had made a mistake.
The medium for detaining the Ghost Performer was on that young man.
The other party might have even learned to control that mask.
“I was wrong about this.” The old man sighed.
Now thinking back on that young man, everything seemed off no matter how he looked at it.
How could an ordinary person stay alive with a ghost for so long?
“Faceless and He Liansheng have already gone after him, you’d better pray that young man doesn’t have some heaven-defying means to escape from them, or else…”
The old woman sneered coldly, turned around, and left without looking back.
The old man let out a deep breath and glanced at Tian Kai Residential Area; at this moment, the residential community was enveloped in darkness.
One horrifying corpse after another hung outside the anti-theft windows, emitting a thick, pungent corpse stench.
Pitch-black corpse water dripped onto the ground.
The old man sighed inwardly and jogged to catch up with the old woman.
At this moment.
The out-of-control, speeding taxi was approaching the toll station.
“We’re almost there, you must steady the steering wheel, and once we’re on the highway, it’ll be fine!” Lin Qian swallowed, his face somewhat pale.
The driver’s face was no better than Lin Qian’s at this moment.
At this speed, it was already his limit, but clearly not the taxi’s limit.
Three hundred sixty!
He didn’t even know his modification technology was this advanced.
He had just felt this was good and installed it, and that could keep it stable, so he installed that too.
Bit by bit over time, the modifications probably cost less than a few million in total.
Some parts, he had gotten for free from his friend.
He heard they were things only race cars had.
He hadn’t thought too much about it at the time and just took them to modify his car.
But he never expected that after modifying, it would turn out so extreme.
“Don’t talk, I need to concentrate.” The driver was drenched in cold sweat, eyes fixed unblinkingly ahead.
The toll station was right in front of them, arriving in the blink of an eye.
Near the toll station were police cars.
The moment the taxi appeared, people immediately started shouting.
The toll station barrier had already been raised.
But getting through was not simple.
The toll station passage was not a flat road!
“Here it comes!” The driver stared at the narrow passage; in one blink, the vehicle shot through.
Bang!
Lin Qian’s heart sank as he quickly looked toward the source of the sound.
The car was still moving.
But the rearview mirror next to the driver had disappeared.
Not only that, after the loud bang, the driver’s bus window was covered in cracks but hadn’t shattered.
Bang bang bang.
The driver’s heart pounded wildly, but he soon shouted excitedly, “We made it! I made it!”
Lin Qian gasped heavily; that loud bang had made him think he was going to meet his great-grandma.
In the end, the driver made it through!
“Once on the highway, we’ll be much safer.” Lin Qian said, panting heavily.
That scene had happened extremely fast; any slight mistake would have meant the car destroyed and people dead.
Lin Qian felt scared just thinking about it now.
Not just him, the driver felt the same, and so did the police officers around the toll station.
On the highway, the driver’s mentality relaxed a bit; he could drive steadily on regular roads, let alone the highway.
Moreover, the highway was being cleared now.
The highway now had basically no vehicles visible.
As long as the taxi drove steadily, nothing would happen.
“Young man, which way?”
Far ahead, a road sign appeared.
Lin Qian looked carefully; it was the sign for Da Jiang City, Da Chang City, and Mountain Market.
“Go to Da Chang City.”
Without hesitation, Lin Qian chose Da Chang City.
The taxi sped past in an instant.
Behind them, police cars quickly followed but were soon left behind.
“Captain, we’ve investigated it clearly.”
“The driver is called Liu Qidong, a local from Taiyuan, retired professional race car driver, expert in vehicle modification.”
“…”
The captain looked at the driver’s information and fell silent.
Why would someone like this drive a taxi?
“Still unable to contact the driver?” the captain asked.
The police officer shook his head, “His mobile phone is off.”
“Keep trying to contact him.” The captain felt an immense headache.
Although they were on the highway now, the danger still existed.
When they passed the toll station earlier, everyone had been on edge.
Afraid they wouldn’t make it.
But unexpectedly, they did, with only a minor scrape.
“Captain, they’re heading to Da Chang City.”
“Got it, arrange for people to prepare an interception to slow them down.”
The captain said.
…………
On the highway.
The vehicle sped along; at this speed, it was like a plane flying on the ground.
Lin Qian was no longer as panicked now.
Since getting on the highway, the things chasing from behind seemed to have fallen behind and stopped pursuing.
The palpitation in his heart had lessened considerably.
At this speed, even Ghost Domain Rainbow Transformation would need some effort to catch up.
Besides, in his memory, the people from Taiping Ancient Town didn’t specialize in developing Ghost Domain.
But he had to guard against it.
Going to Da Chang City, if not intercepted midway, he had a chance to survive.
But if intercepted midway, it would be a toss-up whether he lived or died.
“Young man, something’s wrong.”
Suddenly, the driver spoke, his expression grave.
The pale-faced driver glanced at the speedometer: three hundred seventy.
At this speed, the taxi was starting to shake.
Lin Qian also noticed; the car body was trembling, but the engine was still working hard.
“At this speed, it’ll fall apart at most at four hundred forty.”
“When I modified it back then, I only focused on the internals and ignored the exterior.”
As the speed increased, the taxi’s shaking grew more intense.
Bang~!
Suddenly, the window next to the driver fell out.
Wind poured directly into the vehicle, howling.
Instantly, Lin Qian felt a roar in his ears.
The driver’s face changed immediately.
“Young man, we must find a way to stop!”
The driver shouted loudly.
“The speed is too fast!”
“How far is it to Da Chang City now!”
Lin Qian strained to hear the driver’s words and shouted back loudly.
“At most a hundred kilometers!”
A hundred kilometers?
In this situation, they might not make it before the car fell apart.
Lin Qian tried to calm himself.
Da Chang City was out of reach; they simply couldn’t get there.
To evade the pursuit, he could only use ghost to drive out ghost.
Lin Qian suddenly remembered something.
But he didn’t know if it was real.
“Master! Not far from Da Chang City, is there any place haunted?”
Lin Qian asked loudly.
“Yes! There’s a rice paddy dozens of kilometers from Da Chang City; some say it’s haunted, but I don’t know if it’s true!”
“Why are you asking this!”
Rice paddy!
Right!
Straw ghost!
Lin Qian’s pupils contracted slightly; he instantly had a plan.
“Master, head there; I’ll find a way to stop the car when we arrive!”
Hearing this, the driver’s heart skipped a beat, but thinking it over, he was almost certainly dead now anyway.
At this speed, stopping was impossible.
“Okay!”
Now he could only treat a dead horse as a live one.
Whether he lived or died was up to fate; he’d already settled his affairs anyway.
Lin Qian looked back; the nighttime highway was quiet and empty, this stretch very spacious.
About ten minutes had passed, and the taxi’s shaking suddenly intensified.
Suddenly, a muffled sound appeared.
From the rear; Lin Qian quickly turned to look.
His face changed abruptly.
The trunk had opened at some point, and a Faceless person looked up at Lin Qian from the trunk.
The moment he saw the Faceless, Lin Qian’s last hope shattered.
The other party had caught up!
