After Tangning saw Mo Yunchu's latest circle of friends, he became greedy.
I am craving for the food made by Mo Yunchu.
Almost at the same time, Lu Kaiyang in the group also sent a picture of instant noodles. When the two photos appeared at the same time, the instant noodles lost particularly badly in comparison.
I want to eat the food that Mo Yunchu made. If I can have a bite at night, all the fatigue of the whole day will be digested along with the delicious food...
As Tangning was imagining the taste of Mo Yunchu's dish, the driver suddenly slowed down the car and said to Tangning, "Brother, there seems to be a pregnant woman blocking the car ahead."
Pregnant woman, stop a car, these two key words immediately irritated Tang Ning's nerves.
He suddenly raised his head and looked forward, but what he saw was not the white shadow he had imagined.
That is a red skirt.
As red as blood.
She stood on the deserted street, the cold night wind blowing her red skirt, outlining her bulging belly. She covered her belly with one hand and stretched out the other to stop a car.
The time now is exactly twelve o'clock midnight!
A chilling air rushed down from the top of Tang Ning's head.
What's going on?! Why did the 22nd female ghost who had always been wearing white suddenly change into a red one?!
Tang Ning remembered that in folklore, the grudges of red-clothed ghosts were generally greater than those of white-clothed ghosts. Could it be that the white-clothed female ghost suddenly became stronger at 12 o'clock in the evening and turned into the red-clothed one now?!
"Brother, you are almost at your school. Can I pick up the pregnant woman in front of you? There are no buses here at night, and it would be inconvenient for her to stand alone." The driver discussed with Tang Ning.
Tangning did not answer the driver. He was now texting Mo Yunchu at lightning speed, "I'm taking a taxi back to school. I saw a pregnant woman in red trying to stop a taxi on the side of the road!"
What to do? Mo Yunchu must see this news!
Tang Ning was now a little panicked and wanted to call Mo Yunchu directly.
But perhaps Mo Yunchu was playing with his phone. Tangning had just sent the message when he received a reply from Mo Yunchu the next second: "Let her get in the car."
Tang Ning was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Mo Yunchu to give this method. He also thought Mo Yunchu would tell him how to escape from here.
If the person who said these words was someone else, including Lu Yingxing, Tangning would definitely be angry and helpless. But if the person who said these words was Mo Yunchu...
Wait, if the person in red is a ghost, there should be a signal now!
Was it the ghost who created the illusion? Impersonating Mo Yunchu to trick him into putting the ghost on the car
Before Tangning could figure out whether it was true or not, a video call invitation suddenly appeared.
Mo Yunchu: "It's not safe for you to be alone late at night. Video chat with your friends so that bad guys can be more cautious when seeing you."
Tangning subconsciously clicked "Agree". The screen of the phone connected to the video call lit up. In the large video call window, Mo Yunchu appeared in his home clothes. He had taken off his formal suit and changed into a white shirt with silver streaks. The first three buttons were undone, and his collarbone could be vaguely seen. Looking at the chopsticks in Mo Yunchu's hand, Mo Yunchu was still eating at the table.
The window belonging to Tang Ning was pitch black, even Tang Ning himself could not see clearly.
In the video, Mo Yunchu smiled at Tangning. His straight nose, high brow ridges, and calm smile were all made particularly beautiful by the light from the kitchen, and filled with a reassuring feeling.
Tang Ning's panicked heart due to the appearance of the pregnant woman in red suddenly calmed down.
It was really strange. Mo Yunchu was born with a unique aura, powerful, dangerous, and gentle. Even with a video call, Tang Ning seemed to feel at ease.
He felt that this was Mo Yunchu, not a fantasy made up by a ghost.
If it was Mo Yunchu, Tang Ning believed that even if a ghost interfered with the signal, Mo Yunchu would still be able to call in, because Mo Yunchu was such an unscientifically powerful existence.
"Brother, can I let her get on the bus?" the driver asked. He was being polite because Tangning had given him some extra money before they got on the bus and told him that no matter what happened, he must not let anyone else get on the bus.
"Let her come up." Tang Ning chose to trust Mo Yunchu.
The driver stopped the car.
The pregnant woman walked towards the taxi step by step. Her black hair fell on her face, making her entire face indistinguishable. The driver was too far away to see clearly. When he saw the pregnant woman's hair covering her face, the driver, who had been asking Tangning if she could get in the car, changed his tone and said, "Brother... why don't we just drive away?"
The driver wanted to stop the car before, one reason was that he saw that this was a pregnant woman, which was not easy, and another reason was that he wanted to pick up a customer and make some money.
But this customer looked really strange, and all kinds of urban legends came to the driver's mind. When he said he wanted to run away, the pregnant woman who had been walking with her head down suddenly turned her head and turned her head towards the driver's position in an instant.
The driver was frozen, his heartbeat quickened, and the color on his face disappeared without a trace.
Tang Ning also held his breath at this moment. He held the phone in one hand and grabbed the two talismans on the table with the other.
The chill in the carriage seemed to condense into water droplets, and a faint smell of blood came in with the cold wind.
"Has she gotten on the bus?" Mo Yunchu's voice sounded a little unreal through the phone.
The eerie silence was broken at this moment.
The pregnant woman in red, who had been staring at the driver, turned her head slightly and looked at Tangning who was sitting in the back seat. Tangning's Adam's apple rolled up and down, "... still."
"Let her come up and sit down." Mo Yunchu said considerately.
The driver's teeth began to chatter. Tang Ning felt that if he let a pregnant woman sit in the passenger seat, the driver might faint. After hesitating for a moment, he took the initiative to open the door and moved a few seats inside.
The car door opened, and the cold wind rushed in from outside, with a strong smell of blood and a damp and smelly breath hitting my face. On this empty street, a vague and eerie singing sounded from afar, vaguely audible and indistinguishable.
The pregnant woman in red bent down, her black hair fell on her bulging belly, and her bluish-white hands stretched straight in. This posture was actually a little difficult to maintain balance, and it was easy for her to lean forward, but the pregnant woman in red sat steadily on the seat, and the hem of her red skirt fluttered in the wind.
The temperature in the carriage dropped several degrees in an instant because of the entry of the pregnant woman in red.
The driver sitting in the front had shaking hands as he held the steering wheel.
Tang Ning looked at the pregnant woman in red who was standing nearby. She saw the cold wind blowing her long black hair up, just like the scene in a horror movie where a ghost suddenly raised its hair to scare people.
Tangning's hand holding the phone could not help but tremble slightly. He fearfully turned the side of his video call with Mo Yunchu towards the pregnant woman.
"Why didn't you close the car door?" Mo Yunchu's tone was very gentle, but Tangning could hear a hint of condemnation in it, as if he was euphemistically saying that the pregnant woman was being polite.
A pale hand suddenly rose up, the nails on the hand were as black as ink. As Tang Ning stared at it with wide eyes, the hand grabbed the car door, and with a click, the door closed.
The door cut off the outside world and the carriage suddenly became crowded.
The driver also reached out and pressed the door handle. Unlike the pregnant woman who closed the door, he seemed to want to open the door and go out.
"Fasten your seat belts." Mo Yunchu reminded. He paid great attention to traffic safety.
The hand that closed the car door was rubbing in the dark, and her fingertips scratched the seat cover, making a teeth-aching sound. It seemed a bit difficult for the pregnant woman to find the seat belt. She fumbled for a long time before grabbing one end of the seat belt, but couldn't find where the plug was.
"She looks like she needs help." Mo Yunchu said enthusiastically.
Tang Ning didn't know what Mo Yunchu was up to, but he knew he needed help too. Since he had chosen to trust Mo Yunchu, Tang Ning gritted his teeth and grabbed the talisman with Mo Yunchu's signature, then extended his hand to the moving pregnant woman in red.
When the talisman was close to the pregnant woman in red, she suddenly became quiet.
Tangning took the seatbelt from the woman's hand and deliberately placed it around her pregnant belly. However, as Tangning was doing this, he heard Mo Yunchu's voice, "The child needs to wear a seatbelt, too."
… Varied
A crack appeared on the skirt that was stretched to the extreme by the pregnant belly, and a pair of hands stretched out from inside. Tang Ning was struck by lightning. He saw a familiar pale face peeking out from inside. The ghost baby with cold and cruel eyes looked at Tang Ning, but it did not pounce on him directly like before. It took the initiative to be tied to the seat with its mother with a seat belt.
"Drive." A deep and gentle male voice sounded in the silent car, and the panic-stricken driver couldn't help but obey Mo Yunchu's order.
The rental was back in operation.
Tang Ning's school was not far away. The taxi stopped soon. When Tang Ning was about to leave, the driver almost pleaded, "Brother, if you leave, what should I do?"
Yes, the title has changed from brother at the beginning to big brother.
Tang Ning didn't know what to do, so he subconsciously looked at Mo Yunchu on his phone.
Mo Yunchu had finished his meal and was wiping the corners of his lips with a tissue. He heard the driver's words and said calmly, "Take your guest to its destination."
The driver trembled: "Big sister, where are you going?"
"Peng... Nawan... Fengyang... District..." A hoarse and eerie female voice sounded one after another.
Does this look like the area where Lao Liu lives
It's not a 22-way question.
Tangning got out of the car and the pale driver comforted her, "Be careful on the way. I'll double the fare for you."
The driver's expression slightly changed, and he continued on his way tremblingly. The taxi carrying the strange pregnant woman in red shuttled through the night. When the car drove away completely, Tang Ning finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He held up his phone and said to Mo Yunchu who was on a video call, "Thank you so much this time, but why did you let it get in the car?"
"It's not convenient to take a car so late at night, not to mention she has a child with her." Mo Yunchu.
Tang Ning could sense that Mo Yunchu didn't seem to want to mention the fact that the other person was a ghost, and was still playing dumb with him. Since Mo Yunchu didn't want to mention it, Tang Ning also pursued it.
He walked in the empty campus, the scattered light of street lamps shone on Tang Ning, there were a few cold stars in the sky, and the shadows of trees were cast on the ground, like fallen dead bodies.
If Tang Ning was sitting alone in a place like this, even if he didn't show anything on the surface, he would be panicking inside. Even now, he was still on the phone with Mo Yunchu so that he could hear Mo Yunchu's movements from the other end of the phone.
In the video call, Mo Yunchu walked to the sink with plates in his hand. He put the dirty dishes into the dishwasher, rolled up his sleeves and started washing the pot.
The lights in the world outside were bright, and clear water was washing away the dirt. Tang Ning wanted to take a look at Mo Yunchu on his phone, and he was instantly filled with courage.
When Tangning was about to reach the dormitory, he said goodbye to Mo Yunchu. Mo Yunchu had already washed the pot and wiped the table. He picked up the phone that had been placed on the table, curved his eyes at Tangning, and smiled gently, "Good night."
This ends the video call.
Tang Ning was reluctant to let the call end for a moment. He still wanted to video chat with Mo Yunchu all night. When Mo Yunchu was around, Tang Ning could sleep more peacefully.
"Knock, knock, knock." Tangning knocked on the dormitory door, "It's me. I'm back."
The bedroom door opens.
It was lights out now. The flashlights were blinding in the darkness. Tang Ning pushed the door open and saw three flashlights. The air was filled with the aroma of instant noodles. "Dad, you're back." "You're finally here." "Boss, come and eat some noodles."
Tang Ning was indeed hungry. He saw his three teammates moving a table and sitting on the floor. Si Tai and Lu Kaiyang were wearing the same robe. Li Haoyuan opened the lid of the instant noodles and showed Tang Ning his portion. There were two sausages and a braised egg on the top. Next to the noodles was a bag of spicy noodles and a cup of Le. It was almost like a deluxe version of instant noodles in the dormitory.
When Tang Ning sat down to eat his noodles, the other three teammates also happily picked up the instant noodles in front of them and started eating.
"Boss, we sorted out the chat records of this dormitory group today and found that this group of people went to the haunted house to commit suicide today. They also ordered a special car to pick us up. It was that crappy bus. The bus took a long detour and took us to Route 22." Lu Kaiyang slurped a mouthful of noodles, "Ah, it smells so good."
"Yes, we searched for information about the haunted house today. There were rumors online that many people who had been to the haunted house died in various mysterious ways after returning. However, we summarized it at the time and found that it seemed that only those who had enjoyed the haunted house's special car transportation would get into trouble." said Li Haoyuan.
"Based on my years of writing experience, the haunted house is a gimmick. Maybe some evil villain will use the haunted house to trick innocent people into getting on the bus." Si Tai commented.
"Let's go to the haunted house today." Tang Ning said.
Lu Kaiyang was a little timid: "This is too fast, Boss, should we prepare for a few days? Wait until we are fully prepared before going to the boss?"
Tangning looked at Lu Kaiyang, "Don't be afraid, I've found a great person."
"What thigh?" The players all looked over in curiosity.
"Mo Yunchu." Tang Ning said this name, and because she realized that the three players were all newcomers, she didn't react too much.
For a moment, Tang Ning felt a little lonely.
How should I put it? He actually hoped that everyone would praise Mo Yunchu.
"He is a very powerful Heavenly Master." Since someone was praising Mo Yunchu, Tangning took it upon herself to praise him. "Today, I was blocked by two ghosts in the elevator. One was the female ghost in white that was chasing the car, and the other was a ghost baby."
Lu Kaiyang hugged Si Tai in fear. Si Tai flattered Tang Ning with a dull face, "You're still able to come back unscathed. You're worthy of being my father."
"No, it has nothing to do with me. Mo Yunchu was just getting on the elevator, and those two guys saw Mo Yunchu coming out, so they ran away very quickly."
"Wow~" The three players exclaimed in admiration when they heard this.
When Tang Ning talked about how he had a video call with Mo Yunchu, how he traveled with the ghost under Mo Yunchu's guidance, and even helped the ghost fasten his seat belt, everyone exclaimed in amazement.
"Do such tough guys really exist?" Lu Kaiyang sighed, "It sounds very safe."
After Tangning praised Mo Yunchu's fighting ability, she couldn't help but praise his acting skills, cooking skills, personality, and appearance.
Amidst the flattery, Si Tai touched his chin and suddenly asked, "Does Mo Yunchu like you?"
Lu Kaiyang: “?”
Li Haoyuan: “?”
Tangning: “?”
Si Tai: "He gave you special talismans, took the initiative to invite you to the haunted house, and video-called you when you encountered a ghost in your rental car late at night, and didn't hang up until you got to the dormitory. He treats you too well."
Li Haoyuan nodded.
Lu Kaiyang said weakly: "Aren't they all men?"
Si Tai calmly said: "Don't you know the crispy duck article?"
Although Lu Kaiyang looked confused, he subconsciously moved away from Si Tai, "What do you usually write?"
Si Tai: “?”
Si Tai: "What are you thinking about? I am just learning from the ocean of online literature and observing a few external sites. Don't look at me with such eyes that you are worried that your virginity will be taken away. I also look at the face."
After disdaining Lu Kaiyang, Si Tai looked at Tangning. He said confidently, "Dad, with my years of surfing experience, it's obvious that he is attracted to your beauty."
Tang Ning didn't know how to react for a moment. He remembered that Si Tai's romantic plots were all poorly written, and readers once asked him to make the male protagonist a eunuch like the author. This kind of Si Tai would be even more unreliable in analyzing same-sex romantic relationships.
The series of things that Mo Yunchu did today seemed more like an attempt to get rid of the haunted house and bus No. 22, and to protect an ordinary person like him in the process.
"Practice makes perfect." Si Tai snapped his fingers. "Dad, didn't you say he's a great cook? Now post a message on your Moments saying you really want to eat something."
Tangning: "And then?"
Si Tai finished the instant noodles in his mouth and looked forward to it: "Then the next day our whole family can have delicious food."
Tangning: "You want to eat it yourself, right?"
However, Tangning somehow managed to post a message on her Moments, "I want to eat red velvet cake..."
Three seconds later.
"Mo Yunchu" liked your post.
