Taboo Master

Chapter 181 The Wilderness Inn
I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, someone finally dared to take me this time.

The ferryman from Huangquan parked next to me, with the window rolled down, Conan asked me, "Where are you going, do you want a car?"

Unexpectedly, the ferryman in Huangquan would still solicit customers, so I smiled and went up to him and said, "Do you accept RMB?"

He shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I don't accept it, but for regular customers, you can pay on credit."

I laughed too: "Next time I'll pay double."

Then I got in the car, sat down and was about to tell where I was going, when someone beside me suddenly grinned at me.

I was startled, and then I realized that there was someone sitting next to him. He was a 40-year-old uncle with a haggard appearance, disheveled hair, pale face, and was dressed in black. He was not conspicuous at all sitting there.

I saw him smile at me, and he also squeezed out a smile, but I was muttering in my heart, is this a human or a ghost?
But it doesn't matter, since they are all hitchhikers, humans and ghosts are the same, besides, I have blood on my hands and my hair and clothes are messed up, I guess I don't look much better than this uncle, maybe they will take me too Think of it as a ghost.

So I didn't care, and told the ferryman in Huangquan that I was going back to school.He didn't care, just told me, I can go anywhere, but I have to wait a while, because he has already picked up the hitchhiker, so I have to send him to the place first.

I was a little funny, I didn't expect him to take a car ride, but I looked at the uncle next to me, and couldn't help but ask Conan where he was going.

Conan shrugged at me and said, "Secret, but don't worry, it won't take long."

I stole a glance at the uncle next to me, feeling a little uneasy, he wouldn't go underground, would he?
Neither of these two people spoke, the car drove slowly in the night, the scenery outside the car window was illusory and misty, hazy, and the neon lights reflected various colors on the car window, strange and bizarre, for a moment, I felt as if I was in Dreaming, my mind gradually became a little confused.

Time passed little by little, it seemed like only a moment passed, and it seemed like a long time later, the car stopped slowly, and Conan said lightly: "It's here."

Before I could react, the uncle had already got off the car, stood by the side of the road and looked around, seemed to confirm something, then took out a handful of colorful money from his pocket, and handed it to Conan.

I glanced at it, good guy, the smallest denomination is 500 million, local tyrants.

Conan took the money without saying anything, and the man walked along the side of the road. Only then did I notice that this place was already in the outskirts, a desolate dirt road with wilderness and mounds on both sides. But in front, there is a house standing alone in the darkness. A red lantern hangs at the door, swaying slightly in the wind. It looks gloomy and weird, just like the wilderness inn in the movie.

At the same time, I was also surprised to find that there was no moonlight here, and the sky was full of dark clouds. It was completely different from the scene just now, as if it was a different world.

The man walked forward slowly, in the direction of the house. He walked slowly but resolutely, without turning his head, as if the eerie looking house in front of him was his destination.

I stared at the front curiously, and was about to ask Conan, where is this place, but he seemed to know that I was going to ask, and said in a low voice: "Shut up, don't ask anything, this has nothing to do with you."

When I got to the point of my mouth, I swallowed again. Conan watched nervously as the man approached the house, but the man suddenly turned his head and waved to Conan. Conan seemed to be relieved, as if he himself The language seemed to be speaking to me, and he said in a low voice: "Let's go, another person has set foot on the road of no return."

I didn't speak, and fog slowly gushed out from both sides of Conan's car, the car started slowly, turned around, and drove back and forth.

The whole journey was silent, neither Conan nor I spoke, and there was hazy fog on both sides. After a while, lights gradually appeared in front of us. I knew that we were back in the city again.

Outside the car window, the hazy and illusory feeling came back again, and the grotesque neon still reflected colorful colors on the car window. At this moment, Conan suddenly said to me: "You seem to be very busy."

This was the first sentence he said to me after I got in the car, and it was inquiring. I thought for a while and replied: "Actually, it's not that I'm busy, it's that the world is too busy."

He smiled: "Yes, the world keeps spinning, and we keep spinning, and no one can stop."

There seemed to be some other meaning in his words. My heart moved, and I asked him tentatively: "Can't you stop?"

He was silent for a moment, and said: "Once the shackles of fate are locked, no one can escape. Everyone in this world is like a donkey blindfolded by their master, walking dully. Many journeys, many hardships, but in the end, he stayed where he was, and the only one who made it was his master."

I am even more puzzled, why did he suddenly say these words to me today, what does it mean?

However, he remained silent again, leaning his head slowly on the seat and closing his eyes.

I felt strange, and the surrounding scenery gradually changed again. Before I could understand all this, the car stopped. Conan opened his eyes and said lightly: "Here we are."

There seemed to be deep fatigue in this voice. I looked out the car window and saw that I had already reached the school gate.

I got out of the car and said to him: "By the way, if I want to find you in the future, what should I do?"

"It's easy, you can call me," he said.

As he said that, he casually threw me a business card. I picked it up and looked at it, and saw a mobile phone number written on it, and the following two lines: willing to provide all convenience for your travel, 24-hour pick-up and drop-off service.

I couldn't help laughing, and said to him: "Is there any other way besides the phone?"

"Look at the back. However, I will be busy at night recently, so try to find me during the day if you have anything to do."

After finishing speaking, the window of the car slowly rolled up, and this lonely ferryman left alone again.

What a strange person, I shook my head, turned the business card upside down, and saw a pattern printed in the middle of the back, which was exactly the one Shao Peiyi drew last time.

I looked up again, only to find that the ferryman had disappeared. Under the moonlight in the distance, there was only a cloud of hazy mist floating between the sky and the earth.

I put away my business card, stood at the gate of the school, looked at it, walked to a relatively hidden wall next to it, jumped up, my legs floated, and landed firmly on the ground, I couldn't help feeling proud, my bounce His strength is getting better and better. Judging from this level, it is estimated that he will be able to jump to the fifth floor in one breath soon without any effort.

Back in the dormitory, as expected, Shao Peiyi was not there, Aaron fell asleep, opened his mouth, snoring, and mustache was lying on the bed, looking preoccupied, even if I suddenly entered the room, it didn’t matter Too big a reaction.

I quickly took off my coat to avoid letting him see the blood, and then asked him: "Why do you still suffer from insomnia, kid?"

"Oh, why did she ignore me all of a sudden..." Mustache seemed to be talking to himself, but also seemed to be answering my words, and said with a sigh.

"Who, who ignored you?" I threw my coat under the bed, grabbed the soap, and prepared to wash my hands.

"She, Keke..." Mustache had a melancholy expression on his face, and his voice was resentful, which made people feel uncomfortable for a while.

"Coco?" I had already reached the door, when I heard this name suddenly, I turned around and said, "You mean, is that your new girlfriend?"

Mustache nodded, hummed through his nose, and continued to talk to himself: "I made an appointment to go out to watch a movie with her tonight, and I waited at the gate for a long time, but no one was seen, and the phone was turned off. As a result, when I asked her roommate, they said that she had already left the house and didn't even bring her mobile phone..."

He was babbling on there, like a complaining woman, I didn't listen much, I turned around and went to the bathroom, I really don't understand their dating partners, thinking about that all day long, are you tired? ah?

Turning on the faucet, I tried my best to wash the blood on my hands, but after a long time, the blood had solidified and it was not easy to wash. I soaped my hands over and over again, staring at the water flowing out of the faucet, and With the blood on his hands, an illusion suddenly popped up in his mind, wouldn't blood suddenly flow from the faucet?

Thinking of this, I felt an inexplicable chill. It was already midnight, and the bathroom was quiet except for the sound of rushing water, and a small dim light above my head. I looked up and saw the mirror above the sink. The self in the book, with a haggard face, disheveled hair, and bloodshot eyes, looks like a midnight ghost.

I was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered the taboo of not looking in the mirror late at night, especially this is the mirror of the toilet, which is one of the three sinister ways. Pulled the corner of my clothes.

As soon as I lowered my head, I saw a head popping up next to me.
