C1

It was July and the sun was shining down on the streets. There were only a few pedestrians, so the asphalt was so hot that it could be used to fry eggs. Even though the weather was like this, the passersby could not help but feel a chill whenever they talked about what had happened in the past few days.

In the streets and alleys of the city, there were notices pasted everywhere by the Public Security Bureau saying that a village near the city was involved in a series of horrible deaths. In the past few days, a series of brutal crimes had occurred, and the corpses of the dead were exposed as if they had been peeled off by someone, as if they were extremely terrifying.

When they saw the notice, they felt their scalps go numb. As they discussed, one of them said: "This killer must be a psychopath. Why must he choose such a cruel method? How much hatred must he have?"

Another person whispered to that person, "Be quiet, you're not afraid that the next one to be targeted is you. I heard that this killer still hasn't been caught, and because of this, the police chief has been replaced. The newly appointed police chief has already lost two or three cups, but now there's no clue at all!"

This matter had been the talk of the town for days. The night market was usually bustling with activity, but in the past few days, it had just become dark and there were barely any signs of people on the streets.

Late at night, the street lamps were very dim and yellow. On the road leading into the city, not to mention people, even cars, only passed by for a long time.

At this moment, a red taxi came from the direction of the village.

The driver turned on the radio while he was driving. The content of the radio was the most shocking news that had spread around the small town in the past few days.

The driver didn't seem to be interested in the contents of the broadcast. He turned off the broadcast and continued driving. At that moment, the driver suddenly saw a figure beckoning towards him from the front of the car …

The driver slowed down and looked ahead carefully. There was indeed a person waving at him, indicating him to stop the car. Thinking of the horrible murder on the radio, the driver couldn't help but break out in cold sweat.

When the driver drove closer, by the light from the front of the car, the driver could see that the person who was blocking his path was a woman. Although this wasn't too far from the city, it was still a few dozen miles away, and although the driver was curious about why this woman would appear here so late at night, he was too lazy to ask; after all, a weak woman like her was not a threat to him.

The driver rolled down the window, and before the driver could open his mouth, the woman lowered her head and said to the driver, "Master, can I have a ride with you?"

The woman's voice was very low, causing those who heard to feel a chill in their heart.

The driver looked at the woman and saw that she had long hair, but because she had lowered her head, the driver couldn't see her face.

"You, where are you going?" The driver's face was full of surprise. He kept feeling like there was something wrong with the woman, but he didn't know what was wrong.

After the driver finished asking, the woman slowly replied, "Longevity Lane, clinic No. 13."

The driver looked conflicted. From the expression on the driver's face, the driver did not want to take over the business, but since he was the one eating, it was hard to refuse.

The driver hesitated for a moment before reluctantly nodding his head and said to the woman, "Get on!"

After the woman got on, she sat behind the driver and said in a low voice, "Thank you, master."

For some reason, the driver always felt a chill down his spine when he heard the woman's voice.

The driver turned around and looked at the woman in the back, and saw that she was also staring at him, causing the driver to immediately regret his decision. The woman's eyes were blank, and her face was bloodless, as if it had been painted white.

Looking at the stunned expression of the driver, the woman said, "Master, what are you looking at? You can drive away, I have urgent matters to attend to."

The driver suddenly realized something. He suppressed the fear in his heart and smiled bitterly. "It's nothing, it's nothing. I just noticed that your clothes are pretty good. It's okay now, let's go …"
