"Is... who is singing?" Huai Yi shuddered. Jiang Cheng's words gave him a very bad feeling.

The fatty looked at Huai Yi in confusion, and after a few seconds, tentatively continued, "Warming... warming the loneliness?"

Huai Yi: "???"

Jiang Cheng: "Or should I leave? You two can stay here and sing until you're satisfied, then go home?"

The fatty was about to cry when he heard this. "Doctor, don't be angry. It was all Huai Yi's idea. Just leave him behind."

"I'm saying, what time is it? Let's run. I always feel like something is following us around here." Huai Yi said with a bitter face, pointing vaguely at the lake. "It might be in the lake."

It seemed only Jiang Cheng heard the singing, but he couldn't be sure.

The singing was very strange. He had inadvertently heard a faint, ethereal singing, but now that he calmed down and listened carefully, the singing seemed to have disappeared.

But one thing was certain: he and Huai Yi felt the same way, that the dark lake not far away was not right. The singing had come from that direction.

A similar feeling instantly reminded him of the Huang Manor in the ancient mission, the one standing in the lake singing opera, but this was obviously more sinister.

After a few seconds, Jiang Cheng chose a direction, and the group quickly left.

Soon, they left the residential area. Strangely, the further away they got, the faster the unease in their hearts faded.

The feeling of being watched didn't disappear until they were completely out of the residential area.

"Hoo—" Huai Yi breathed a sigh of relief, turned to look at the darkness behind him, and his heart was still filled with fear.

If he had reacted slower this time, he would have been done for.

"Brother Fugui." Squatting on the ground, Huai Yi pounded his leg and said, "Your phone should be working. Call a car to pick us up."

This area was relatively remote, and who knew how long they would have to wait for a car here.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Cheng shook his head and said, "It's too late. We're already inside." He looked at the road, and after a moment, said, "We've been walking for so long, and not a single car has come."

Hearing this, the fatty blinked at Jiang Cheng, as if doubting that the doctor had a problem with his brain. "Doctor, what are you talking about?"

After they left the residential area, cars had been passing by from time to time, which was why they were sure they had left the influence of that thing.

As if to confirm the fatty's statement, as soon as he finished speaking, a car came from a distance, the snow-white lights piercing the night and slightly dispelling the gloom in people's hearts.

"Look, Doctor, isn't that a car?" the fatty said quickly.

"White, sedan, ending in 419." Jiang Cheng said calmly, watching the approaching car.

Hearing Jiang Cheng say this, both the fatty and Huai Yi were a little surprised, because from this distance, they couldn't even see the color of the car, let alone the license plate number.

About half a minute later, the car finally drove up to them. "White, sedan, license plate number..." Huai Yi's lips were trembling. "LD0419."

The fatty immediately looked at the doctor, but before he could speak, he saw Jiang Cheng looking in the direction the car had come from, which was pitch black. "There will be a black SUV coming soon, ending in 808."

As if to verify the doctor's words, another car drove out of the darkness in the distance, as if out of thin air. Judging by the outline alone, it was obviously larger and more impressive than the previous white sedan.

The black, upright body of the car sped past them, and the faces of Huai Yi and the fatty turned pale. Jiang Cheng was right again.

Black, SUV, ending in... 808.

And what was even more terrifying was that through the car window, the driver's seat seemed to be empty. There was no one!

"We're trapped. It's just these few cars going back and forth. They're just driving in circles here. The order and time of appearance are fixed." Jiang Cheng said, "This is a new paranormal event. We've been dragged into it again."

Amidst the astonished gazes of Huai Yi and the fatty, Jiang Cheng picked up a stone from the ground, weighed it a few times, and then suddenly threw it at a lighted window on the second floor of a house on the side.

The glass shattered in response, the sound of breaking glass traveling far in the night, along with the sound of the stone falling.

Afterwards, the breathing of Huai Yi and the fatty gradually became rapid. Not only did the family whose glass had been broken have no reaction, but the other families in the neighborhood were also very quiet.

Now they completely believed it, that they hadn't left at all.

At the same time, Huai Yi thought of something else. If they had let the fatty call for a car just now, the taxi that would have come... who knows what might have been inside.

"Don't panic." Jiang Cheng clapped the dust off his hands and said calmly, "We're already here."

The fatty couldn't change his habit of talking nonsense when he was nervous, especially in this situation. "Doctor, please don't talk like that. If you want to show off, just show off your own part. Don't include us, or the ghost might misunderstand."

Huai Yi behaved a little better. Although he was also very flustered, he pleaded in a trembling voice, "Brother Jiang, please show us a way out."

"Walk along this road, wherever it leads. There will definitely be clues." Jiang Cheng continued to walk, the other two cautiously following behind him.

The two of them didn't even look at the cars that passed by from time to time.

As they walked to an intersection, they finally found something different.

Looking to the right from where they were standing, about a few dozen meters away, there was a bus stop with a shelter.

Most importantly, there were a few people standing nearby, apparently waiting for a bus.

"Are they people or ghosts?" the fatty asked in a low voice.

Huai Yi looked around and told the fatty in a low voice some bad news. "Whether they're people or ghosts, we have to go over there. Otherwise... take a look around."

The fatty looked up and looked around. This was an intersection, but strangely, the streetlights only extended along the road for about 100 meters. Beyond that, it was pitch black.

Like a giant mouth of darkness, it swallowed the other end of the road.

They had nowhere else to go.

Except for this bus stop with "people."

"Let's go take a look." Jiang Cheng, as usual, walked in the first position, the fatty second, and Huai Yi at the end. The three of them walked towards the bus stop in a single line.

Because there were streetlights, their shadows were on the ground. If the fatty had been more careful, he would have seen that Jiang Cheng's shadow was different from his and Huai Yi's.

Although they were all black, Jiang Cheng's shadow was obviously more textured, with strange ripples similar to those in the lake.

More importantly, Jiang Cheng's shadow didn't even match his walking frequency. It was obviously half a beat slower, as if intentionally distancing itself from the bus stop.

A pair of deep red eyes, flashing with doubt and fear, disappeared in a flash.
