Chapter 18 The Gate of Hell
Lin Jie walked out of Samadhi Bookstore in a daze. Tonight was really bizarre for him, and it subverted his three views that he had been persisting in for more than 20 years.
"By the way, Xiaobai."
Walking on the road, Lin Jie suddenly thought of Luo Xiaobai, panda, glasses, and beautiful girls.
Just as he was about to turn around, his phone rang.
Lin Jie opened WeChat and found that it was sent by Master Dao, with only a simple sentence.
“It’s done.”
There are four other photos, namely Luo Xiaobai, Panda, Glasses, and Meiniu. They are all at home, and they seem to be asleep.
Lin Jie was amazed and didn't know how Dao did it, so he replied thank you.
Master Dao did not reply either.
It was already past three o'clock in the morning when he was almost home. Lin Jie lived in Guaizi Street in the south of the city and rented the house. This expense was the majority of his monthly expenses.
Fortunately, the landlord is pretty good and he is a beautiful woman. He is not a few years older than Lin Jie. But I heard that there are several houses in the city, and it is enough to just eat houses every month.
Therefore, every time Lin Jie's rent was delayed for a few days, she would not urge him.
"I'm going to leave the gate of hell again." Lin Jie's steps suddenly slowed down.
Before entering Guaizi Street, you will pass a three-way intersection. This is a famous accident-prone area in the south of the city. There are car accidents every year and people will die.
People joke that this place is called the Gate of Hell, and there are little ghosts next to you. Every year, they will recruit people down there.
Lin Jie also suffered a fall. A year ago, when he was riding his small electric donkey across the road, he was hit by a car for more than five meters away, and he had multiple fractures on his body. He lay in the hospital for more than a month.
For this reason, Luo Xiaobai even scolded him for a while.
However, Lin Jie himself was also surprised. He had just passed by when he saw no vehicles passing by that day, but the car seemed to have rushed out of thin air.
Later, Lin Jie learned that the owner of the car had an accident three days after the accident and was run over by a large truck and could not see it.
Some people say that the man was infected with unclean things outside and was targeted, and sooner or later he would be dragged down as a substitute.
In short, Lin Jie was very resistant to these three forks of roads, and he rarely came back so late.
After all, this place is famous, and many vehicles are unwilling to leave even if they choose to detour after nine o'clock in the evening.
Lin Jie walked slowly, and there were no vehicles and pedestrians on the road, and he was the only one on the huge road.
Woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo w
At this moment, a cry came, and it was whimpering, as if it was a little girl.
Lin Jie paused and looked in the sound. Sure enough, a little girl was squatting on the side of the road not far away. Her forehead was covered with blood, and her arms seemed to be injured. She hung in the air, looking weak.
Lin Jie's eyelids pounded suddenly and his heart raked.
Three months ago, an accident happened here. A little girl from school was hit by a big truck while crossing the road. She heard that she died on the spot and could not find her arm.
"Damn it, I'm so lucky, why are you so unlucky?" Lin Jie gritted his teeth.
After experiencing the red-skinned lantern, he seemed to be able to see these things, but now he is alone and does not have any sympathy for the Taoist master, so he is naturally even more afraid.
"It is pure if you don't see it!"
Lin Jie clenched his fists tightly, looked around without squinting, speeding up his pace and hurriedly passing by.
"Big brother, big brother..." the little girl suddenly screamed.
Lin Jie gritted his teeth and pretended not to hear it. He quickly walked away. Fortunately, the little girl did not chase after him.
"Damn it, it's so exciting. Should I consider moving?" Lin Jie breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
In fact, Luo Xiaobai had already advised Lin Jie to move to her community so that the two of them would take care of him.
But although the community where Luo Xiaobai lives is not high-end, it is also relatively high. The price is naturally much more expensive, which is an unbearable burden for Lin Jie.
Although Luo Xiaobai also suggested that he could free up a room and share the rent for the two, Lin Jie still refused.
"I found a part-time job, but I didn't have a salary yet. Oh, let's take a look." Lin Jie shook his head.
Soon, he walked to your fork in the road.
Still far away, Lin Jie vaguely saw a dazzling fire in front of him, and he frowned and looked over. With just one glance, half of his body became cold.
A bus fell on the side of the road, and the surging flames swallowed the entire car, and heart-wrenching wailing sounds came from it.
The bus was surrounded by "people", including elderly people, children, and women...
Their bodies were charred and stained with blood, and they were wandering around the intersection.
Lin Jie's eyelids were twitching. As the newspaper editor, he soon thought of an old news.
There was a major accident during the road renovation here. A tourist bus full of passengers passed by, but it accidentally overturned. Because the rescue was not timely, the vehicle exploded and none of the passengers inside escaped alive.
But this incident has been more than ten years since then.
Rumble...
At this moment, the sound of the engine roaring came not far away.
Lin Jie's expression suddenly changed. How dare he leave the "gate of hell" at this point?
He looked up and saw that a black car was driving over not far away, looking at the license plate from another place.
Next to the burning bus, the "people" also became turbulent, and seemed to have noticed the black car.
"Don't come over." Lin Jie couldn't help but roar.
However, it was too late. The black car quickly passed by the three-way intersection. At this moment, the "people" jumped into the car and slapped on the body of the car.
Suddenly, the car swayed slightly and the direction deviated a little.
There are even some "people" lying directly on the road, allowing black cars to crush them.
The car also bumped slightly, and the center of gravity deviated even further.
The car slowed down, the window rolled open, and the driver inside poked his head out and looked outside.
"What's going on?"
"Don't stop, go quickly." Lin Jie roared, his voice echoing on the empty streets.
The driver was a middle-aged man and immediately noticed Lin Jie. When he heard this, his expression changed slightly. He probably was an old driver who often ran away. He might have thought of something. Without saying a word, he stepped on the accelerator and whizzed past.
Those "people" were thrown out of the car and did not catch up. It seemed that their range of movement was limited to the three-way intersection.
Lin Jie breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this. He finally knew how those accidents in the past happened. These "people" were wandering here and could not leave, and were constantly looking for substitutes.
But soon, Lin Jie felt something was wrong. All the "people" next to the bus in the distance looked at him, and there was a trace of light in his originally numb eyes.
They seemed to have realized that the person in front of them seemed a little different and could actually see them.
"Oh no." Lin Jie's heart skipped a beat, and the "people" rushed towards him.
