The driver stopped the car in front of the man. He rolled down the window and said, “Brother, you come here daily to stop cars. I’m getting damn annoyed.” “Can you please let me go? Don’t stop my car every night.”
“Take me to the capital.” A man in a suit walked to the window and said it expressionlessly.
Hearing this, the taxi driver suppressed the urge to curse.
It was at least a thousand kilometers from here to Beijing.
For such a long journey, passengers had to pay a deposit.
The first time he met the man in the suit, the driver thought he had encountered a big deal and asked the other party to pay a deposit of 1,000 yuan.
Unexpectedly.
Not only did the man in the suit not pay, but he kept nagging about sending him to the capital.
In the past, there would occasionally be car robbers who would trick the driver into a secluded place to rob them, so the driver stepped on the accelerator and left.
Two or three days later, he drove along the same road and met this man again.
The man still wanted to go to the capital but could not afford it.
The driver continued to drive away.
Several times in a row, the driver thought he had encountered a lunatic.
Every time they met, he would scold him.
“You’ve reached the destination,” Chen Yu told the man outside the taxi.
“This is clearly still in Hangzhou City.”
The man in the suit looked unhappy and pointed at the sign not far away.
The driver turned around and smiled bitterly. “He’s different from other lunatics. He won’t be fooled.”
“I didn’t fool him.” Chen Yu’s smile didn’t change. “He has indeed reached his destination.”
“Did you hear that?” The driver shouted out after hearing Chen Yu’s words.
“You’ve already arrived in Beijing. Don’t bother me anymore!”
“Otherwise, I won’t let you off easily next time.”
“I’m going to the capital,” the man in the suit said coldly. “Send me there immediately.”
“Dr. Chen, you saw it. This guy is asking for a scolding.”
The driver had a lot of questions for Chen Yu.
It was already disappointing enough to encounter this lunatic, one that acted like a broken recorder.
He kept repeating that he wanted to go to the capital.
Glancing at the suited man outside the car, Chen Yu extended his right index finger and drew a few lines in the air.
“Let’s go.”
The taxi driver nodded, closed the door, and drove away.
“Heavens! What’s going on?”
After driving for about ten meters, the driver glanced at the rearview mirror from the corner of his eye.
An unbelievable scene appeared.
The man in the suit standing at the back was wrapped in red flames.
The driver slammed on the brakes and opened the door to look for a fire extinguisher.
“Dr. Chen, please help! That person seems to be on fire!”
“I have two fire extinguishers in my car. Let’s each take one!”
The driver shouted in a hurry.
“Don’t worry about him. Let’s continue our journey.”
“Ignore him?”
“Can’t you see the fire on his body?” The driver asked in disbelief.
Smiling, Chen Yu closed his eyes and began resting.
Seeing that Chen Yu didn’t want to interfere, the driver had no choice but to search for his fire extinguisher to save the man.
“Oh my god! What’s going on?”
Just as he found the fire extinguisher in the trunk, the driver lost his balance and collapsed on the ground.
The figure of the man wrapped in red flames gradually became blurry.
In the blink of an eye, he disappeared before his eyes.
Chen Yu opened the car door and helped the driver up from the ground.
“Why did he disappear?” The driver asked, clenching Chen Yu’s arm tightly as his teeth chattered. “No…It can’t be that kind of thing, right?”
“You’ve been in a bad mental state ever since you met him, haven’t you?” Chen Yu asked, patting the driver’s back.
“I think so,” the driver hesitated.
“Ever since 1 met him, I’ve become dispirited. I can’t bring myself to do anything.”
“Think about it carefully. Why is his suit always brand new?” Chen Yu asked as he helped the driver back into the car.
“You’ve met him more than ten times. Has his suit and hairstyle changed?”
The driver was dumbfounded.
Memories of the past few months flooded into his mind.
Three months ago, after meeting the man in the suit for the first time, the driver would encounter him every three to five days.
He wore the same black suit every time, and his hair was combed meticulously. “He’s a ghost!”
The driver blurted out.
“You can understand it that way.”
“When I said that he had reached his destination, 1 didn’t mean that he had reached the capital. I meant that he had reached the end of his life.”
“He was the sales manager of a company.”
“He had a drink with a local client the day before he died.”
“He received a call from his company in the middle of the night. There’s a problem with a client in Beijing, and he needs to go over.”
“He assumed that after a nap, he wasn’t too drunk to not drive. So, he drove to Beijing overnight.”
“After that, there was an accident on this road. He collided against a large truck.”
“Every time you meet him, as long as you open your mouth to speak, a portion of your essence, energy, and spirit will be reduced.”
“Didn’t you curse every time you met him?”
“The longer you curse, the more essence, energy, and spirit will be absorbed.”
“Do you understand what I’m saying?”
The driver shivered.
There were so many cars coming and going at night.
Why was he so unlucky?
“Why you?” Chen Yu smiled bitterly. “Well, you offended him, that’s why.”
“I don’t even know him. How could 1 offend him?”
The driver tossed and turned, unable to recall where he had seen this person before.
He did not remember when she had offended him.
“When there was a car accident on this road, did you stop to watch the show?”
“You even laughed with another driver who was watching the show, saying that he deserved to die from drunk driving.”
“All!”
The driver suddenly remembered.
He was indeed there that day.
He had also said such words.
“Unfortunately, this person is petty. He was petty when he was alive, and even more so after he died.”
“The other drivers advise you to keep your mouth shut, as you should respect the dead.”
“But you didn’t care. Not only did you not stop, but you even cursed more fiercely.”
“After that, he bore a grudge against you,” Chen Yu reminded him.
“As he just died, he doesn’t have any abilities.”
“He thought of waiting for you to take the bait, slowly sucking your life away.”
After understanding the cause and effect of the matter, the driver’s face turned green with anger.
To take revenge on him, the suited man was persistent in waiting here every day for the driver to pass by.
Chen Yu smiled bitterly at this.
He had seen so many ghosts.
This was the smartest one.
He knew how to wait patiently for his prey.
Every time they met, he would deliberately annoy the taxi driver with words and force him to take the initiative to curse him.
The more he cursed, the more essence, energy, and spirit he could absorb.
As expected of a salesman.
All the intelligence and wisdom he had when he was alive were utilized to exhaust the taxi driver of his essence, energy, and spirit.
The suited man did not go to the underworld to reincarnate but stayed back to harass other passing drivers.
Step by step, he increased his strength.
Soon, he would turn from an ordinary wandering ghost into a malicious ghost..
