Chapter 251 A Wuling Hongguang with a truckload of bread vans just found it hilarious.

Bai Ge suddenly remembered the parallel world transfer incident the girl had mentioned earlier, and couldn't help but frown deeply. Could it be like a cursed jinx, that she had been transferred here from another world? He tried to call out to the girl who existed in his consciousness, but after leaving the dungeon, the girl seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep and no longer responded.

Bai Ge shifted his attention from the girl and stared at the paper effigy with a gloomy gaze. "Stop making a fuss, everyone calm down. What happened?"

Bai Ge deliberately put on a stern face, pointed at the paper effigy, and said, "Tell me what exactly happened?"

The paper effigy had no choice but to report everything it knew to Bai Ge in detail. It turned out that they had previously created Ghost Didi, which specifically recruited a group of female ghosts as experienced drivers to pick up passengers. A few days ago, there was an incident where a female passenger tried to attack the female ghost driver, but she was dragged to a cemetery and beaten up by a group of ghosts. After the beating, they even stole her phone and forced her to give a thumbs up and a positive review, otherwise they would send vengeful ghosts to watch her window every day, causing her to suffer from neurasthenia and insomnia.

However, in the past few days, the driver has been reporting that when he takes passengers home late at night, he always encounters a strange ghostly figure sitting in a wheelchair with his back to the car in the middle of the main road. He can only barely tell from the person's long black hair that the person is not Ryo Marufuji, the electronic dragon player who played cards and ended up in a wheelchair.

Moreover, once the driver passes by the strange, wheelchair-bound ghost, the passengers behind him will mysteriously disappear without a trace. Some experienced drivers have tried to move away from the ghost by reversing, but no matter how far the car reverses, the eerie shadow in the middle of the road always maintains a distance that is neither too close nor too far, until it slowly disappears after the passengers behind it have vanished.

Although they are also vengeful ghosts, the gang of cowards raised by Bai Ge's family usually only bully and intimidate unarmed ordinary people. Once they encounter a powerful peer, they immediately pretend to be blind, deaf, or amnesiac and flee the scene without looking back.

"Isn't this just an urban legend?"

Bai Ge curled his lip in disdain and retorted, "So what do you guys do all day when you have nothing better to do?"

The paper effigy felt wronged, explaining that it usually just watched cute pet videos that tough guys loved when it was quiet. Although it was a vengeful ghost, it claimed to be a law-abiding citizen and would never commit any illegal or criminal acts. Compared to Bai Ge, a living person even more terrifying than a ghost, the other vengeful ghosts actually managed to act like barely human beings.

"..."

The more they talked, the more outrageous it became, so Bai Ge quickly interrupted the group of ghosts' descriptions, because he was afraid that if they continued talking like this, he would become a strange figure standing in the middle of the road.

Just then, a slow knocking sounded on the door, the thumping sounds pounding against Bai Ge's heart.

Bai Ge walked quickly towards the door, and when she was still a few meters away from it, she asked softly, "Who is it?"

"It's me, Section Chief Xing from the Special Affairs Bureau."

Upon hearing Section Chief Xing's name, Bai Ge breathed a sigh of relief, waved for the other vengeful ghosts to leave, and opened the door himself.

Looking at Bai Ge with a haggard expression, Section Chief Xing looked like a middle-aged corporate slave who had been working overtime for several days without getting a good night's sleep. Upon seeing Bai Ge, his gloomy expression instantly brightened, and he tried to come in and tightly grasp Bai Ge's hands.

"Oh, Mr. Bai, you're finally home! Our Special Affairs Bureau has been so busy these past few days it's almost been a mess. By the way, are you alright now that you had a major hemorrhage during your circumcision and were rushed to the emergency room? And how's your hemorrhoid surgery going? I heard from that fortune teller that it was so bad that he was practically hanging a bunch of grapes from his hemorrhoids."

Bai Ge took a deep breath and jotted down a page in her inner notebook: she would force the paper effigy to be folded into a thousand paper cranes when she got back.

Bai Ge subtly inquired and learned that Section Chief Xing was currently investigating two matters: one was the illegal operation of paranormal taxis, and the other was reports from numerous victims who encountered a strange figure in a wheelchair with its back to them. Regarding the former, aside from some minor effects caused by premature infantile dementia, there were no records of harm. In fact, these spirits were more human-like than some of the infantile dementia. Since there was no threat, the case was quickly closed after a report was submitted.

However, it was the strange figure of the disappearing people that caught Section Chief Xing's attention. According to the descriptions of the surviving victims, it was a strange figure sitting in a wheelchair. Apart from the fact that the person was playing a high-speed riding duel while sitting in a wheelchair, it could be basically determined that this person was not a human being.

The strange occurrences persisted, yet the players in the Special Affairs Bureau had not received or triggered any daily quest prompts related to eliminating the wheelchair-background monster. This, in turn, made Section Chief Xing uneasy, sending a troubling signal.

"This is footage from a victim's dashcam. By the time we finally arrived at the scene, this was all that was left."

Section Chief Xing placed the phone in front of Bai Ge and explained, "We had the technical team examine this video and confirmed that there were no segments related to memetic infection before playing it for you."

Bai Ge took the phone from Section Chief Xing with some skepticism, scanned it with his mental skills, and only after confirming that there was no memetic infection inside did he open the video.

The dashcam footage showed a dark, unlit highway, with an eerie atmosphere all around. Suddenly, a blurry figure appeared at the end of the headlights, and the driver's voice was clearly distorted with tension.

As they drew closer, the car suddenly braked to a stop. Seeing white paper money fluttering in the air, the driver, frightened, began to reverse. However, just as he turned the car around, he saw that eerie figure had reappeared behind him, still with its back to him.

"how is this possible?"

In the video, the driver's voice was distorted with terror. He was reversing while staring intently at the ghostly thing in front of him. However, even after reversing hundreds of meters, the distance between the wheelchair and the car remained unchanged. Finally, the car seemed to suddenly hit something, jolting violently. The driver let out a bloodcurdling scream before falling silent.

"That's all the terror you've got?"

After reading it, Bai Ge wasn't scared at all. Instead, he showed a disdainful sneer and said, "Sorry, I would only find a Wuling Hongguang full of bread-like people funny."

Chapter 252 Are you all in such a hurry to be reincarnated?

Section Chief Xing's brows furrowed with joy, sensing a glimmer of hope. He quickly asked, "Wait, can you take care of this guy?"

"Hard to say."

Bai Ge stared at the ghostly figure on the screen, shook his head, and said, "I need to see this guy before I can make a decision. By the way, is there only this one vengeful ghost?"

"Actually, there are others."

Section Chief Xing scratched his nose and explained, "However, the other vengeful ghosts are not under my jurisdiction. What? Mr. Bai, do you think this vengeful ghost is too simple and not challenging enough?"

"No no no."

Bai Ge shook his head, his gaze fixed on the strange figure in the video. He gently rested his chin on his hand and whispered, "I was just wondering if we could catch these ghosts and send them all to work illegally in an electronics factory."

"Send them to work illegally in an electronics factory?"

Section Chief Xing's smile froze on his face as he suddenly realized that Bai Ge's thought process couldn't be understood in a normal way. He coughed lightly and said in a low voice, "Can we solve the problem at hand first?"

"can."

Bai Ge also wanted to investigate the parallel world travel technology by solving the recent large-scale outbreak of strange events. Presumably, it wouldn't be long before the Special Affairs Bureau would investigate the dangerous parallel world travel technology crisis and begin a large-scale investigation into the sudden strange events.

"Based on our previous investigation and rigorous analysis, all the incidents mainly occurred in the western suburbs of Xu City. Therefore, we need Mr. Bai to drive a car to lure out the long-haired woman in the wheelchair. As for the choice of car, the Special Affairs Bureau will provide a Porsche Panamera, a Land Cruiser, and a Maserati."

"no need."

Bai Ge immediately refused their offer, saying, "Just get me a Wuling Hongguang."

"Wuling Hongguang?"

Section Chief Xing looked at the other person with a puzzled expression. After confirming that the other person was not joking, he asked seriously, "Are you serious? You're going to drive a Wuling Hongguang to catch ghosts?"

"Yes."

Bai Ge nodded and said seriously, "Who would go to catch a ghost all by themselves? I said before that I would bring a whole van full of people this time. I want to see if we ghosts are more powerful or if she is the only ghost who is powerful."

Upon hearing that they were going to capture a new person, the other vengeful ghosts cheered and jumped for joy, all saying "Yay!"

They've been tormented long enough and are just waiting for someone new to share the burden. They wish they could inflict all the suffering and pain they've endured on this vengeful ghost.

The little fox and the paper figure ran into the storeroom and brought out a whole bunch of torture instruments, from handcuffs, whips, tight leather suits, pepper spray to stun guns, sedatives, and stun guns.

Upon witnessing this scene, Section Chief Xing awkwardly scratched his nose, looked down at his nose, and muttered, "Mr. Bai's ghost-catching skills are unprecedented, and they have not only... opened my eyes."

Bai Ge's lips twitched. He wished he could send the paper effigy, which was being manipulated by the purple toy that was wriggling and spinning back and forth, to the world of anime on the spot.

"In short, please have the Special Affairs Bureau prepare the vehicle, and we will take care of the rest. However, in exchange, I need Section Chief Xing to grant me one request."

Section Chief Xing was caught off guard by Bai Ge's sudden suggestion. After hesitating for a while, he replied hesitantly, "I can't do something as illegal as kidnapping an eighteen-year-old girl for you. But if it's an eighteen-year-old female ghost, then it's no problem."

"..."

Bai Ge felt that the other person was becoming more and more able to keep up with his thought process, but he still corrected him, saying, "I want to know more information about the strange invasion."

After a moment's thought, Section Chief Xing nodded. The Special Affairs Bureau doesn't deliberately conceal strange events; for the sake of social stability and security, they disclose all intelligence details to bounty hunters. Players who want to accumulate experience through daily tasks can use the information provided by the Special Affairs Bureau to solo or even multi-kill strange events.

The case provided by Section Chief Xing contained many chilling details, such as the strange white paper money that would always float in the sky when the female ghost in the wheelchair appeared, and the inexplicable graves that would appear on both sides of the road, with the unburnt paper candles emitting a ghostly green light in the darkness.

Before nightfall, Bai Ge still received a Wuling Hongguang van from the Special Affairs Bureau. Although it was a bit damaged, it didn't affect its use. Bai Ge stuffed all the vengeful ghosts into the van in one go, preparing to give the guy in the wheelchair a surprise.

Bai Ge started the car and drove along the quiet streets at midnight. The streets of Xu City were deathly silent after nightfall, with not a single person in sight. After the previous disasters, the big city began to evacuate its population.

A swaying figure appeared on the quiet street, frantically waving its hands toward Bai Ge.

Bai Ge frowned, stopped the car, rolled down the window, and leaned out. A strong smell of alcohol hit him. A drunkard, his eyes glazed over, was leaning against the edge of the window, shouting loudly.

"Master, how much will it cost to build the bridge?"

Bai Ge said impatiently, "Two hundred."

"What? Two hundred is so expensive?"

Upon hearing the price, the drunkard nearly widened his eyes. He glanced inside the Wuling Hongguang van and saw a woman in a red wedding dress and a red veil sitting properly in the back seat with her hands folded. He pointed at her and asked, "So, is the bride's ride also two hundred?"

Bai Ge explained, "No, the bride is fifty."

"That's not fair!"

The drunkard shouted, "Why is there such a big price difference between the bride and me?"

Bai Ge pointed at him impatiently and said, "Do you dare to eat shit?"

The drunkard paused for a moment, then hurriedly shook his head.

Bai Ge curled his lip in disdain, "Isn't that settled then?"

Feeling slighted, the drunkard's blood boiled. He stammered for a long time before finally mustering his courage and roaring, "What if I dare to eat shit?"

After a moment of silence, Bai Ge said softly, "Alright, charge the bride sitting in the back two hundred as well."

"……Grass!"

Faced with such impeccable logic, the drunkard was momentarily stunned. In the end, he muttered "What a heartless person!" before getting into the car.

The bride, who had been wearing a red veil, seemed to slowly turn her head and look at the drunkard in front of her through the veil.

Upon entering the Wuling Hongguang, the drunk man felt as if he had been plunged into an ice cave, chilled to the bone. Especially the passengers inside the Wuling Hongguang; every single one of them was a unique character. Some looked like bloated corpses, dripping with water after swimming; others resembled dead bodies ready for burial; and there was even a strange paper effigy in the last row, exuding an eerie and sinister aura.

The carriage was deathly silent, with the occasional bump causing the car to sway from side to side.

It's as if only the driver is a living person.

The drunkard remained in a dazed state. He saw the scenery outside the window gradually dimming, as if the streetlights were slowly disappearing, until finally the surroundings turned into a gloomy and eerie darkness.

The chirping of autumn insects had ceased, and the only sound in the desolate wilderness was the clatter of tires. Occasionally, a solitary tombstone could be seen along the roadside outside the window, and the still-burning white candles emitted an unusual glow. Perhaps it was due to the alcohol clouding his senses, but he felt that the fleeting candlelight was... eerily green.

Who cares?

The drunkard, whose blood was rushing to his head after drinking, was completely unaware of what was happening, while the driver seemed oblivious to the outside world, silently staring ahead.

This doesn't look like a robbed unlicensed taxi. There are so many people crammed in here; it's hard to say who's robbing whom. Perhaps emboldened by the sheer number of people, the previously silent atmosphere emboldened him, and he shouted, "Sir, where are you going? What kind of road is this?"

As Bai Ge stared ahead, he casually remarked, "The Road to the Underworld."

"What? This isn't the car to the spa?"

The drunkard was startled and looked at the passengers in the car, saying in surprise, "So all of you are in a hurry to be reincarnated?"

Chapter 253 Little brother, what's wrong with you?

The atmosphere inside the car was already extremely eerie, but what made it even more terrifying was that the radio in the Wuling Hongguang was playing a message saying "Today is an auspicious day," which immediately made the drunk man's scalp tingle. His hands nervously groped around, and suddenly he felt something very rough. He pulled it out and, in the dim light of the car, saw that it was a mace-shaped stun rod. Although he kept telling himself that it was actually a Vajra pestle, the feeling of it spinning and vibrating after he pressed the switch clearly told him that this was definitely not a normal thing.

Could it be that the unlicensed taxi driver in front of us is actually a deranged killer who enjoys torturing his victims?

Torture yourself with such a long, grainy thing; even the tightest mouth can't withstand this kind of torture!
