The speeding taxi hurtled along the nighttime road.
Its speed was still rising.
Seven minutes to the airport.
It probably wasn’t a joke after all.
At this speed, anyone who couldn’t turn their Ghost Domain into a rainbow definitely wouldn’t be able to keep up.
In his memory, almost everyone in Taiping Ancient Town possessed a Ghost Domain.
But as for the ability to turn a Ghost Domain into a rainbow, he really wasn’t sure whether they could do it.
However, judging from the situation, the other party clearly hadn’t caught up to them.
Only now did they gradually begin to relax.
At this moment, the taxi’s engine roared, its speed shooting straight past two hundred and fifty. Though the taxi itself was already trembling somewhat, Lin Qian still had great faith in the driver.
The driver was no longer chatting with Lin Qian.
He stared fixedly ahead, fine beads of sweat seeping from his forehead.
Lin Qian did not notice anything strange about the driver.
Right now, his mind was filled with many thoughts.
If the people from Taiping Ancient Town truly refused to let him go, then even if he boarded a plane, he would still die.
As long as he was still in Dayuan City, they could find him at any time.
The speed of traveling by Ghost Domain was extremely fast.
Suppose the people of Taiping Ancient Town were chasing him, but had not caught up for the time being.
Then even if he reached the airport now, he still wouldn’t be able to leave Dayuan City.
Question: while being hunted by ghost controllers who possessed Ghost Domains, how could he leave Dayuan City alive?
Fight?
Lin Qian sensed the dormant ghost within his body.
Fight with what, his head?
He could be certain that as long as he used the power of a malevolent ghost, the other party would absolutely risk their lives to kill him.
No matter who came from Taiping Ancient Town, he wouldn’t be able to beat them.
Lin Qian’s brows knitted tightly together. How could he break out of this situation?
With his current strength, it would be very hard to run.
Lin Qian pondered.
“Um, young man, do you think your girlfriend will regret breaking up with you?”
The driver suddenly spoke, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.
Lin Qian was stunned. “What do you mean?”
Lin Qian turned his head to look at the driver, then his expression changed slightly.
The speedometer was advancing toward three hundred.
“Three hundred? Master, didn’t you say two hundred was enough?”
At this speed, if something went wrong, whether he could survive would be a question.
It wasn’t that he didn’t believe in the power of the malevolent ghost; rather, he didn’t believe in himself.
The driver wiped away his cold sweat.
“Originally, two hundred was enough, but I couldn’t help it—the brakes failed.”
The driver swallowed, even stammering a little as he spoke.
“Huh?”
Lin Qian’s pupils constricted sharply. “Fuck, what kind of joke is this!”
“Well, hurry up and call your girlfriend. Make your final arrangements.”
As he spoke, the driver took out his phone and quickly dialed a number.
“Hello, honey? It’s me. I might not be able to come home today. Listen to me. In the toilet tank in the bathroom, there’s a bank card from ICBC. The password is your birthday. There’s two hundred thousand in it.”
“Take it and live well.”
“If you get too lonely, find someone else. But remember, he has to treat our daughter well.”
“All right, that’s it.”
The call was hung up directly.
Lin Qian stared, dumbfounded.
“Shouldn’t you be calling the police right now? Why the hell are you making final arrangements!”
Hearing this, the driver suddenly reacted. Right, shouldn’t he be calling the police?
“Ahem, I forgot. I’ll call right away!”
The emergency call was quickly connected.
“This is the 110 emergency center. How may we assist you?”
“Officer, my brakes have failed. I can’t brake.”
“My license plate number is Jin AA 74965. I’m currently heading toward the airport. My speed is about to break three hundred, and I’m expected to arrive near the airport in five minutes.”
The driver quickly explained his situation.
“We will immediately arrange rescue. Please do not panic. Keep a firm grip on the steering wheel and try to head toward the suburbs or the expressway.”
“Don’t worry, I’m not panicking. I plan to take the expressway. Notify the toll station and have them raise the barrier.”
“All right, we will notify the toll station immediately.”
“Please try to keep the call connected on your end.”
“Oh, right. I also have a passenger here.”
Hearing this, the person on the other end of the line fell silent for a brief moment. “All right, we understand. We will arrange rescue as soon as possible.”
Lin Qian watched, utterly stunned.
“Young man, relax. We have to trust them. Of course, you also have to trust my driving skills.”
The driver wiped his cold sweat as he spoke.
Lin Qian was somewhat silent.
Traffic lights flashed past one after another. Their speed had already broken three hundred and was advancing toward three hundred and thirty.
“Why take the expressway?”
The suburbs were basically all broad roads, and there weren’t many people.
By contrast, the expressway required passing through a toll station, and the lanes at the toll station were very narrow.
At this speed, one slight mistake and they would crash straight into it.
“You think I don’t want to? To go to the suburbs from here, I’d have to turn. Otherwise, we’d be going straight into the city.”
“At our speed, if we go into the city, an accident is one hundred percent guaranteed.”
“The expressway from here is straight. The only difficulty is passing the toll station.”
“But I’m the one driving. Passing the toll station won’t be a problem.”
The corner of Lin Qian’s mouth twitched.
What a perfectly logical statement.
“Then is there any chance we can drive into a nearby lake?”
When the driver heard this, he sighed and spoke faintly, “There’s no lake nearby.”
Lin Qian: “…”
“Young man, hurry up and call your girlfriend. We might not survive.”
Lin Qian went numb. What bullshit phone call?
He didn’t even have a phone. What was he supposed to use to call?
“I didn’t bring my phone when I went out.”
“Oh-ho, then it’s over. You won’t even get one last chance to speak to your girlfriend.”
The driver said this with pity.
Lin Qian raised a hand to his forehead.
This uncle of a driver was truly optimistic.
It wasn’t only Lin Qian who thought he was optimistic; even the operator on the other end of the line thought so.
Actually, Lin Qian did have a way to make the car stop right now.
He only needed to use the supernatural.
But he didn’t dare gamble.
He didn’t dare gamble on whether he would still be alive once the car stopped.
The palpitating, uneasy feeling he had felt in the car before was still vivid in his mind.
There was definitely something following him from behind!
Definitely!
Taking the expressway might actually be a good method.
Lin Qian glanced at the fuel gauge on the dashboard.
Full tank?
Lin Qian’s gaze shifted slightly. “Master, how many kilometers can your car run on a full tank?”
“One thousand,” the driver said without hesitation.
“???” Lin Qian’s face was full of question marks.
“To tell you the truth, I modified the fuel tank too. Did it myself. It can run one thousand kilometers for sure. If the speed is stable, twelve or thirteen hundred is possible too.”
The driver spoke with extreme pride.
Lin Qian fell silent. Fuel tanks could be modified too?
At this moment, the operator on the other end of the line had a face full of dark lines.
Good grief, he even dared to modify the damn fuel tank. This driver was truly ignorant of the law!
But at this moment, he didn’t dare say anything, for fear of affecting the driver’s driving.
A full tank, at a speed of three hundred—if there was a collision, it would explode one hundred percent.
This was no joke!
Under the night sky.
Two people who did not manifest in reality stared dumbfounded at the taxi growing farther and farther away ahead of them.
“Do you think we ran into a ghost taxi today?”
“Is that speed really something a taxi can reach?”
He Liansheng went numb. After living for so long, this was the first time he had ever seen a car that could outrun a Ghost Domain.
‘That car is out of control.’
He Liansheng glanced at the words above the faceless man’s head.
Only after seeing that sentence did he feel some comfort in his heart.
“And that car has been modified.”
The words above the faceless man’s head changed once more.
The corner of He Liansheng’s mouth twitched.
He didn’t know much about cars, but it wasn’t as if he knew nothing at all.
What kind of car, after being modified, could run that fast?
