12 midnight.
Inunsong Highway.
"The Inuning Highway is really quiet today."
Kamiyagawa was driving a rented small box car on the road, with no other vehicles around him.
Only the shadows of the mountains and trees on the side of the road and the twisted lake flew past the car window, leaving strange dark masses in the field of vision.
Kamiyagawa has been circling the Inunaki Highway for two hours.
However, he is not tired.
In the afternoon, Kamiya passed by Miyaka City, Fukuoka, and slept in a private room of an Internet cafe in order to recharge his batteries and save his energy to deal with ghost stories at night.
Kamiyagawa is currently the only person in the small box car.
After almost a day of driving, he had become somewhat accustomed to the right-hand drive position.
Holding the steering wheel with one hand, he played with a melted and deformed 10 yen coin between the index and middle fingers of his left hand.
"I've been driving for so long and I still haven't seen my mother-in-law on the expressway... Obviously I'm the only car I can see on the road."
Driving all night alone for a long time made Kamiyakawa feel a little bored.
Why hasn’t this high-speed mother-in-law shown up yet?
Did you agree to catch shrimp with the two men walking alone at night?
Are my driving skills not enough to attract her?
Kamiyachuan began to think randomly, and as he thought about it, he suddenly wanted to do something cool.
"If I ring the bell now and ask Zashiki to put a good luck buff on me, and then wait for the good luck to turn into bad luck, will it increase the chance of meeting the high-speed mother-in-law?"
This idea seems feasible, and hitting spirits when you are unlucky sounds quite reasonable.
"But let's forget it first."
Kamiyagawa quickly rejected this sexy idea himself.
According to the information given by the little old man, the two ghosts who came here from the outside said that the high-speed Granny was wandering on the Quanming Highway, while the Earthbound Spirit was staying near the old Quanming Tunnel.
The two are quite far apart.
"But if you get unlucky and attract two weird stories from different places, you'll be in trouble."
According to Kamiyagawa's self-judgment, with his strength, it is very feasible to defeat and treat the two aliens separately.
But if you face two of them at once, it's hard to say.
"There is no need to make it more difficult for yourself. If you can't meet my mother-in-law tonight, I will continue tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Anyway, I rented a car for three days."
The small box car continued to drive slowly on the Inuning Highway, which was dark and no other vehicles could be seen.
The high beam on the front of the car is the only clear source of light visible on the road.
We drove for a while.
"There is a sharp turn ahead, and you will enter the Inunming Tunnel after three hundred meters."
The mobile phone is attached to the magnetic holder and broadcasts traffic conditions in real time.
The Quanming Tunnel shown on the electronic map is the new one and is still open to traffic.
The place where the Earthbound Spirit is located is the old Inunming Tunnel that has been blocked.
Regarding this point, Kamiyagawa has repeatedly confirmed with the little old man before.
"This is the second time I've driven into this tunnel tonight."
Kamiya thought like this, and drove into the tunnel entrance without slowing down.
The New Inunaki Tunnel is very empty.
There are plenty of lights inside, and red and green lights are flashing at the top of the tunnel.
But because it was late at night, this section of the road was open and closed, and no second living person could be seen. Even if it was brightly lit, it still had a different kind of weird feeling.
After driving halfway through the new tunnel.
rustle--
The car stereo suddenly sounded on its own.
"oh?"
Kamiyakawa turned his head slightly and glanced at the car display. He had never driven this thing tonight.
After a strange sound of electricity, someone's voice came from the speaker: "Come on. Come on, hurry up."
It was the voice of an old woman with a hoarse voice, but there seemed to be a strange sense of expectation and excitement in her words.
Kamiyagawa immediately focused his somewhat distracted attention.
He glanced at the passenger seat.
Leaning there was a hatchet with a bloody tip.
At the same time, Kamiya clenched the half-melted 10 yen coin in his left hand, took out a neatly folded small yellow talisman paper package from his pocket, and casually placed it in the storage groove next to the handbrake.
Wrapped in yellow paper, this is longevity-extending purple gold frost.
Zijinshuang is not a lump of elixir, but a powder, which is actually a bit troublesome to eat.
However, after learning the Five Thunders of Yin, Kamitani had a little more knowledge of Waidan Dao in his mind. According to his judgment, in an emergency, it was okay to just chew the yellow talisman paper together and swallow it.
It will not affect the efficacy of the medicine.
Buzzing.
The phone on the stand vibrated at this time.
A notification from "Kaitan Monogatari" popped up——
[Story of strange encounters with strangers, high-speed mother-in-law.]
[The foreign visit catalog has been updated.]
[Ghost story name: High Speed ​​Granny]
[Classification: E-Class]
[Status: Visiting]
[Interview progress: 100%]
(When the progress reaches 100%, the ghost story can freely travel between the real world and the ghost story world according to its own wishes.)
"E-class?" Kamiyagawa glanced at the phone screen first, then felt something and looked up at the rearview mirror.
Through the reflective mirror, I could see a red dot twisting closer behind the small box.
high speed!
In the empty tunnel, apart from the sound of Kamiyagawa's car, you can hear the sound of "pat-ta-ta-ta-ta" and strange, loud and fast footsteps echoing!
Within a few seconds, the red dot in the rearview mirror got much closer, revealing a human-shaped figure.
Kamiyagawa could see clearly this time.
What caught up from behind the car was a "person", a strange old woman with gray hair wearing a red dress, running and sprinting through the tunnel at an inhuman speed!
"coming soon."
Kamiyakawa became inexplicably excited.
He originally thought that when he bumped into a foreign visitor in reality, he would be more nervous and scared than in the game world.
But in fact it doesn't.
At least not when facing this high-speed mother-in-law.
Perhaps due to the effect of adrenaline, Kamiya only felt a strange sense of excitement at this moment, which was a bit more exciting than when he was fighting monsters and monsters in the world of ghost stories.
Snapped!
At this time, a withered and old hand slapped hard on the car window.
To be continued...
