Chapter 37: Isn’t it just a ghost?
Translator: 549690339
“Xu Yang, what should we do?”
Officer Wang saw this and asked, “Your friend got in that taxi… Should we notify him to find a chance to get off?”
“No need.”
“My friend is easily scared, and if we tell him now that the driver is a ghost, who knows what he might do!”
“Will he be in danger?”
“He should be… fine, right?”
Xu Yang wasn’t too sure either.
That ghost didn’t have any evil aura, proving it wasn’t a “vicious ghost.”
Its strength was weak.
According to Xu Yang’s Ghost King elder sister, Ma Long had an Extrely Yin Body, which had a suppressing and immune effect on Yin energy. Ordinary ghosts couldn’t harm him, even the Water Ghost from the Yellow River couldn’t get him when he dragged it to the shore.
But what if?
Considering unexpected factors, Xu Yang decided to warn Ma Long.
He took out his phone, editing a text ssage while saying, “Officer Wang, follow closely and be careful not to lose them!”
“Don’t worry!”
Officer Wang skillfully maneuvered his car into the lane and closely followed the taxi, confidently saying, “You can trust my driving skills. When I was working on the frontlines, 1 participated in several large-scale arrests, and high-speed street chases were a common occurrence!”
Ahead.
In the taxi.
As soon as Ma Long got in the car, he recognized the taxi driver.
He couldn’t help but think of the bizarre happenings from last night.
This taxi driver didn’t ask the destination but drove him ho, and then in a blink of an eye… the car disappeared!
Ma Long was usually unobservant.
If it were in the past, he definitely wouldn’t notice these details.
But after experiencing ghost encounters twice last night, he beca very neurotic, sitting in the passenger seat, carefully observing the taxi driver, and tentatively asked, “Mister, do you know ?”
“Of course I know you, didn’t I just drive you yesterday?”
The taxi driver focused on driving.
The car was still very steady, and there was absolutely no noise.
Despite it being sumr, the car windows were closed, yet the interior was cool and even made Ma Long feel a bit cold.
He tried to feel the air conditioning vent with his hand.
No cold wind was blowing.
Ma Long swallowed and asked, “Mister, do you know where I’m going?”
“Yes, aren’t you going to your family’s construction site?”
Ma Long confird that he didn’t tell the taxi driver his destination, just like yesterday.
His mouth felt dry, and his throat was parched.
He secretly took out his phone, intending to ask Xu Yang for help.
However, as soon as he took out his phone, he found a ssage from Xu Yang-
“Ma Long, I’m going to tell you sothing, you have to stay calm and not be afraid.”
Ma Long quickly typed a response: Xu Yang, I also have sothing to tell you. I suspect there’s sothing wrong with this taxi driver!
But before his ssage was sent, his phone vibrated, and Xu Yang sent several more ssages.
“The driver of the taxi you’re in is not human!”
“But don’t worry, it’s not an evil ghost, and it shouldn’t hurt you!”
Ma Long’s pupils shrank.
He deleted the ssage he had just typed and quickly wrote a new one: Xu Yang, save !
“Don’t worry, we’re following behind, nothing will happen to you!”
Seeing Xu Yang’s reply, Ma Long felt much more reassured.
He sat in the passenger seat, not moving, his body trembling slightly.
Soon.
They arrived at his family’s construction site.
This was a partly completed comrcial and residential complex, located in the west of Wu City. After the taxi stopped at the entrance, Ma Long paid the fare, rolled and stumbled out of the car, and quickly ran into the complex.
Seeing this scene from behind, Xu Yang couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief.
“It seems like my judgnt was correct; it wasn’t an evil ghost and didn’t harm people.”
Xu Yang spoke, puzzled, “But…why is it like this?”
A ghost.
It didn’t enter the Underworld Palace but stayed in the human world without harming people. It spent half of the night secretly driving taxis for passengers. Was it doing this to make money?
Officer Wang was also very curious, closely following the taxi.
Then they saw…
The taxi kept stopping and picking up and dropping off passengers throughout Wu City, and no one suffered any harm from the taxi driver.
anwhile.
At the construction site.
Ma Long found his parents in a temporary project departnt set up in a steel structure room.
His father had a bandage wrapped around his head, seemingly injured.
Ma Long approached and asked about the situation. His mother hesitated and said, “Sothing happened on the construction site today. Your father ca to deal with it, but accidentally fell and hit his head.”
She seed to be hiding sothing as she spoke.
At this mont.
There were more than a dozen workers gathered outside the project departnt.
They represented all the workers on the construction site. They knocked on the door, and after seeing Ma Long’s father, a middle-aged man smiled bitterly and said, “Mr. Ma, you know the current situation… We brothers really can’t continue to work here!”
Ma Long’s father held his head and stood up, saying, “Gentlen, soone must be up to no good behind the scenes, not wanting us to hand in the project on ti according to the contract, and deliberately creating fear. Don’t leave yet, appease the workers below, and I’ll try to find soone to solve this problem as soon as possible.”
Ma Long was bewildered.
What…
What’s going on?
It seed that the issue on the construction site wasn’t as simple as he thought.
He was about to ask when suddenly a scream ca from outside-
“Ahhhh!!!
“Ghost… ghost… there’s really a ghost!”
A young worker holding his pants ran into the project departnt, his face full of fear. The entire person was pale, and his body was trembling as he stuttered, “Mr. Ma, there’s really a ghost on the construction site. Just now when 1 was peeing… wahhh!”
A man in his mid-twenties couldn’t help but start to cry: “Mr. Ma, please, have so compassion. Settle our wages and let us go. I just got engaged to my girlfriend, and I only want to work to earn so dowry money. 1 don’t want to lose my life here!”
The workers who had just been appeased by Ma Long’s father also panicked inexplicably and spoke one after another.
Ma Long’s parents were as anxious as ants on a hot pan.
The construction period for the comrcial and residential complex was tight, and it was now at the most critical ti. If the workers all left now and news of the haunted construction site spread, the project would be ruined!
Failure to deliver the project as promised in the contract would render the Ma family bankrupt just based on the liquidated damages!
Ma Long finally understood the ins and outs.
He shivered.
Damn!
Why were there ghosts everywhere?
But he also understood that it was ti for him to step forward and try to save the situation. He slamd on the table violently and shouted, “Everyone, don’t be afraid! Isn’t it just a ghost?”
“If we catch it, everything will be fine!”
