Chapter 29: CH 25.3

Everyone understood that when III-9 asked, “who can drive?” it didn’t imply they could choose who would drive. The final decision was still under the control of III-9.

Although it was not a good job to be a driver, if the tour guide was III-9——

It was different if it was III-9.

Miao Fangfei thought so, as did Xu Chen, Hou Feihu, and Lin Xi, who stood up. 

But they didn’t expect that so many people would stand up now for things they would shun away from in the past!

Four people’s gazes locked. Their confused expressions were reflected by the glance in their eyes. It was difficult to put into words how they were feeling, and they were all feeling uncomfortable.

“The ghost has taken possession of me. The chance of ghosts harming humans is low until we embark on the actual attraction. After all, the ghost’s wishes have not been granted yet.”

Miao Fangfei made the initial statement. After all, she was the tour group’s leader. She didn’t think it was a good idea if everyone was stuck at choosing who would be the driver, “Even the ghosts will most likely try to deceive us into believing that they would offer us benefits and be pleasant to us at first. If I drive, I have a good probability of taking a safe path the entire way and even encountering unexpected possibilities.”

Coupled with the rugged mountain roads in Xiangxi, Miao Fangfei, who was born in the mountains, was more familiar with the road conditions and would be able to drive more steadily.

This was precisely what Miao Fangfei had thought, but in the eyes of her teammates, Miao Fangfei, who felt she was in the right and confident in what she said, felt she had been shamefully put in the position. It was as if what she was secretly thinking in the depths of her heart had been revealed, and as if she couldn’t help being biased to herself when she promoted herself as the driver.

The one who could be selected as the driver……Must be the one that Guide III trusts most…ehe.

Miao Fangfei’s wheat-colored cheeks were slightly red, and she felt slight embarrassment. Fortunately, it wasn’t obvious in the dark night. 

III-9 said he trusted her when they were on the Ferocious Bone-made Plank Road. That feeling was really good. She wanted to continue to be trusted by III-9 and become a better leader.

Moreover, as the leader, it was natural to take the initiative to stand up when the tour group met with problems.

As she thought of this, Miao Fangfei became calm again.

“That said, it’s still too risky.” 

Hou Feihu frowned and disagreed, “We should be prepared for the worst. If the resentful spirit attached to Leader Miao’s body is an irrational, ferocious and cruel type, everyone will be in danger.”

Hou Feihu always had a calm and reliable personality.He was accustomed to consciously thinking everything “We’re all aware of how tough a tour for the Intoxicating Xiangxi series would be. We still don’t know what the second main attraction will be like. If we make a risky option, the risk may exceed the loss.”

Although it was true, Hou Feihu always felt that the atmosphere was a little peculiar for some reason. The usual firm look in Hou Feihu’s eyes revealed that Hou Feihu was now slightly at a loss. But Hou Feihu still decided to state seriously.

“I have been serving in the army for five years and have the title of [I Have A Sense Of Foreboding]. It will be the safest if I can be the driver.” 

“And.”

Hou Feihu paused and said tactfully, “I’m in good shape.”

Miao Fangfei, who had abdominal pain and headache, took an arrow in her heart and could only helplessly retreat.

Why did it feel as if everyone was competitively fighting for the role of the driver? 

Xu Chen, an elite in the workplace, felt bewildered by his absurd thoughts. He even felt that they were making matters complicated.

However, if they could establish a positive relationship with III-9 and join his tour group in the future, they would only benefit and not suffer any consequences. They must not waste an opportunity to give their all in front of III-9.

Hou Feihu nodded calmly and agreed with Xu Chen. What he said could happen.

“My strength couldn’t be compared with Leader Miao. My physicality is not as good as Big Brother Hou, but my title is considered quite useful.”

Xu Chen began to publicize himself “The title, [Resentment Perception], allows me to see if there is resentment on the road and whether there will be ghosts blocking the road. I can sense the resentment over which road is heavy and which one is lighter.” 

“Xu Chen, your eyes……”

Hou Feihu worriedly pondered. After all, in the last attraction, Xu Chen used his eyes excessively and collapsed the whole day yesterday.

“I’ve had a good rest.”

Xu Chen smiled. 

“Your title is really more suitable than mine.”

Hou Feihu agreed. Xu Chen’s smile grew more genuine, and his gaze was drawn involuntarily to III-9. Regardless of how much they attempted to pitch themselves, the final choice was to be made by Tour Guide III-9.

And the person III-9 was looking at now was——

Xu Chen kept the smile on his face. 

III-9 was looking at Lin Xi.

Lin Xi, who had been gazed upon by III-9, blushed and felt a little happy and uneasy in his heart.

Although III-9 used to let him drive in the tour every time, III-9 had changed. When he saw Hou Feihu and others stood up, Lin Xi was really very upset.

Until he found that III-9 had been looking at him, his uneasy mood was slightly relieved. 

Sure enough, III-9 still liked him. III-9 forced him to put on an air of cheeriness and consume the pill that would keep him under III-9’s control. Compared to how he felt before, where he felt unreconciled to be III-9’s driver, Lin Xi was a little excited and even felt a sense of urgency to become his driver.

It was as exciting as his first time ascending on the stage.

He was no longer a trash beauty. He wanted to work hard in order to be useful and gain the attention of III-9.

“Brother 9, am I still driving this time?” 

Lin Xi smiled softly and walked closer to III-9. Xu Chen and others instantly understood.

They all understood. It turns out the driver often employed by III-9 was Lin Xi.

Xu Chen pushed his glasses and took the initiative to step back and give up. He had a proper understanding of the state of the affairs now. For suspicious tour guides, it was always best to use someone familiar rather than someone new. He wasn’t going to compete with Lin Xi. If III-9 was dissatisfied, the gain was not worth the loss.

Hou Feihu and the others didn’t speak anymore. Obviously, they acquiesced that III-9 would choose Lin Xi. But in fact, the smile on Lin Xi’s face became stiffer and stiffer. 

Because he found that III-9’s eyes didn’t move to where he was. When Lin Xi walked towards III-9, the tour guide’s eyes still fell at where he stood——he wasn’t looking at Lin Xi, but the man behind Lin Xi.

“Wang Pengpai, I remember you have a title related to being a ‘driver’.”

Indeed, III-9 ignored Lin Xi, who walked towards him, and looked at the fat man behind him. He seemed curious, “Why didn’t you stand up?”

“Do you mean——”

Wei Xun dragged his voice. It was as if he was joking but there was a hint of elusive danger in his tone, “You don’t want to drive?”

“Oh, Guide III, Brother 9, that’s not true. I want to, I really want to. You don’t know how long I’ve been waiting for this opportunity. I’ve wanted to show off to you for a long time!”

In the face of everyone’s puzzled eyes, Wang Pengpai bitterly pointed to the sky and the ground. His fat face was full of regret and chagrin, “Alas, it’s a pity that I, this old fatty, am not blessed to do so! See, I accidently cut on my fingers when I was cooking this noon.”

The fat man unclenched his hand. The thumb and index finger of his right hand were wrapped in a thick circle of gauze, signs of blood could be faintly discerned. 

“Yes, I remember. It was during the meeting at noon.”

Zhao Hongtu suddenly said, “The food provided by Baby Bamboo Miao Village is moldy and rancid. This is why Brother Wang and I went to the kitchen in the back to find some materials and cook our own food. But the kitchen knife was too dull and rusty so Brother Wang went to the stream to grind the knife, and his hand was hurt when he came back.”

“So careless!”

Miao Fangfei also just knew about it. Her face was brimming with anger, “How can you get hurt by doing such a small task!” 

It was necessary to be careful when doing everything in a supernatural tour. Blood, clothes and even hair might become the medium of resentment, curse and even possession. It was unknown what the kitchen knife in this abysmal Miao Village had cut. Miao Fangfei’s scalp felt cold when Wang Pengpai’s finger was wounded with the kitchen knife.

“It’s okay, it’s okay. I, Old Wang, am still a virgin. I have strong Yang Energy in my blood. I’m not afraid of being cut.”

Wang Pengpai jested, patted his chest to guarantee his words, and nodded and bowed to Wei Xun. He was sullen and helpless, “Guide III, look……”

“Then take care of your wound.” 

Wei Xun glanced at him with great interest and found no flaw in his sincere fat face.

From the beginning of the tour, although Wei Xun had a good grasp of the personalities of the tourists in his tour group, he couldn’t see through this sole tourist, Wang Pengpai.

This man knew too much.

Wang Pengpai had the title of [Young Driver]. Wei Xun wanted to probe him, but unexpectedly, Wang Pengpai happened to have his hand hurt……Was it a coincidence? 

“Lin Xi, go drive.”

“Ah!”

Lin Xi, who was nervous and perturbed, immediately responded and smiled brilliantly. Without Wei Xun saying more, he happily took another pill——this pill was used to control him in previous tours. Seeing that Lin Xi was obedient, III-9 simply gave him a bottle and let him swallow it himself.

Although the real III-9 was not on the tour, and the pill had no binding power, his self-discipline was exactly what Wei Xun wanted. 

“Let’s go.”

They sat here for 10 minutes, waiting for the rain to cease outside. The wind blowing in the mountains smelled like cool rain. Without the stench of corpses in Little Dragon Farmstead, everyone felt that the air here was soul-cleansing as if they were staying at a true homestay in the mountains. As if they were in a real tour group, and didn’t have to complete dangerous tasks.

Wu Laoliu, however, arrived silently at the entrance when they turned their heads to look back. Half of his wrinkled face was buried in the shadows, like a dead man, and his black eyes made a chill creep along everyone’s spine.

“At eleven o’clock, the homestay will be locked.” 

Wu Laoliu’s voice sounded harsh and dry, like two pieces of dead tree bark rubbing together. Everyone frowned unconsciously as they heard his voice.

Wei Xun gave him a few extra glances and always felt that the man seemed to have changed, he looked different from how he was when Wei Xun met him at noon. But Wu Laoliu’s eyes were numb and indifferent. It seemed that he just came to tell them the rules, “You must come back before this time.”

Everyone kept Wu Laoliu’s words firmly in mind.

It was now eight o’clock. They had three hours until eleven o’clock to complete their task. They still have to make a return trip within this time frame. 

Outside Baby Bamboo Miao Village, a used military green off-road vehicle was parked. It could barely fit the entire tour group with two rows of seats, the driver’s front seat and the front passenger seat. Wei Xun sat comfortably in the front passenger seat, but the rest of the passengers had to cram in.

Miao Fangfei, Shi Tao, Wang Pengpai, Xu Chen sat in the front row, Hou Feihu, Zhao Hongtu, Yu Hean and Yu Hehui sat in the back row.

Miao Fangfei had them sit in this position on purpose. There was a ghost lingering in the team that she hadn’t identified yet. She was, however, possessed by the ghost and was in a sour mood. Miao Fangfei had to choose the most trusted team member to inform them of the presence of a ghost in the tour group. But time was running out. She passed out for an extended period of time. She needed to go to the Little Dragon Stream scenic area, and she wasn’t done sounding everyone.

She couldn’t beat the grass and frighten the snake. Miao Fangfei could only arrange them to sit in this way, to ensure that each row had ample combat effectiveness against the ghost as much as possible. After experiencing this small scenic spot, she would think about it again. 

Through the rearview mirror, Wei Xun saw Miao Fangfei talking to Shi Tao. Wang Pengpai was chatting with Xu Chen. Hou Feihu and Zhao Hongtu naturally got together. Yu Hean and Yu Hehui talking in a low voice.

Everything looked so normal. The ghost baby he saw perched on someone’s shoulder was gone.

Lin Xi fired the engine and started the car. His whole body was tense. For some reason, even though he had driven III-9 many times, this time he was particularly nervous. From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of III-9’s pale porcelain chin. Lin Xi jerked his eyes back, as if he had been scalded. His heart was racing at an alarming rate.

Had III-9’s skin been so white previously? 

Lin Xi couldn’t remember. The image of III-9 in his mind had completely turned into the person before him. Wei Xun leaned carelessly against the window as if he was tired. The snow-white curly hair cast a shadow on his cheeks, and the headlight casted a light on his porcelain white jaw and neck. The beautiful lines were blocked by his collar.

Elegant, mysterious, noble, and beauty unlike what any human would possess.

Lin Xi’s ears twitched. After he noticed the sound of III-9’s shallow and regular breathing sounding out, he subconsciously drove the car more stably.

He wanted III-9 to have a better rest. 

Wei Xun wearily closed his eyes and thought about the scene he had just seen. Miao Fangfei’s face was a little pale, which seemed to be because of abdominal pain and headache. Wei Xun found that she was quietly observing the people around her.

Miao Fangfei should be aware of what was wrong. In an eight-man tour group, an extra person joined them, and they now had nine people in the tour group. One person squeezed in the SUV was a ghost.

What judgment would Miao Fangfei make?

In the past, Wei Xun’s interests might be perked, and he would participate in the reasoning of who was the extra person, but now, he was indifferent. 

The reduced SAN value was affecting him. The destructive desire and mania aroused when fighting with the zombified flying fox commanders were only suppressed by Wei Xun to the bottom of his heart. But they never disappeared, and they were still expanding.

Wei Xun urgently needed to find something new that was stimulating. Anything would do. Deliberately angering Wu Laoliu, hiding his transaction from the Travel Services and taking the initiative to play with the ghost babies was all signs of it.

A long illness turned the patient into a doctor. Wei Xun had a thorough grasp of his situation. After finding that he was not interested in reasoning and analysing the extra person, he realized that there was a problem——Wei Xun did not reject dangerous stimulation but he did not like to lose control.

After Wei Xun closed his eyes, no one would discover the bloody glimmer floating in his eyes. His dark nails on his pale hands were tapping idly to a beat. 

Something exciting and stimulating, quickly come forth.

Wei Xun thought.

Come quickly, this backlog of emotions……must be released.

“There is no road in front of us!” 

A quarter of an hour later, the car that was originally driving stably was suddenly stopped by Lin Xi. His nervous voice came from the driver’s seat, “Graveyard, graveyard! There is a graveyard ahead!”

The author has something to say:

Wei Xun: Something exciting and stimulating, quickly come forth. I want it——

Graveyard: Here we are, brother!
