"Your food delivery order...has timed out..."
The sudden voice made the phone's notification sound gradually freeze.

And when I picked up the phone to look,I didn't know when there were thousands of new orders.
"I said you would soon be just like me..."
I didn't know when,but I turned back to that alley entrance again.
That voice was extremely familiar,exactly the voice of the young man who was hit to death.
"Why won't you let me go..."
I subconsciously clenched the talisman in my pocket,and the other hand also picked up the scooter lock.

"Let you go?You took my tip.Isn't it the rule that you take someone's money and do things for them?"
He gradually"walked"towards me.His disguise gradually fell off.Half of his head was caved in,and blood was gushing out.He was on tiptoe,as terrifying as a zombie in a Hong Kong movie.
"Now,what's going on?Why,my food delivery order would..."
I even spoke weakly,but I had to get to the truth.And...

I wanted to die with him.
The hand holding the talisman gradually clenched tightly,and a hint of viciousness appeared in my eyes.
"You think I was hit to death because I was drunk?I was driven crazy by them a long time ago.Now you can't keep up with their orders.You'll soon replace me,and I'll soon be reincarnated.Thank you so much..."
The truth was right in front of me.
And the person who harmed me was also right in front of me!
At this moment,I really didn't care about anything.I rushed up and swung the scooter lock hard!
"Die for me!!"
I'm a poor person,but I don't want to die of poverty.
I unleashed my last bit of strength and smashed out my resentment.Just for a five-dollar tip,why did he have to make me a scapegoat!
The big lock easily passed through the young man's body.
People are still extremely difficult to hurt ghosts.
Until now,the young man still had that playful and ferocious expression.
It was as if he was watching an ant struggling.
"Is that all..."
The young man didn't finish his words.At this moment,I had already stuck the talisman given by the middle-aged man on the young man's forehead.
His body froze slightly,and then he couldn't move at all.
I sat on the ground panting heavily.With a thud,my electric scooter also fell to the ground.
Tears of frustration streamed down my face,but they disappeared after just a few drops.
The shock reaction after being overly frightened was constantly stimulating my nerves.And just then,my phone in my pocket was still vibrating continuously.
"After you harmed me,other ghosts still want to harm me,right?You deserve not to be reincarnated!"
Just as I finished scolding,suddenly,a gust of overwhelming sinister wind blew past both sides of me.From the darkness at the end of the street,there came...
The sound of suona,the beating of drums,and the sound of opera...
A thick fog filled the surroundings.I scrambled to get up from the ground,picked up the electric scooter,looked at the remaining battery power,and gritted my teeth.
"As long as I can get through tonight,just tonight!"
The surrounding scenery changed.Those charred bodies started wriggling again,and this time,they all crawled out from the walls.
More and more figures approached,and more and more fog came.
Run!Run quickly!
Since I was a child,after watching so many horror movies,I've always summed up one truth.
Don't be curious,don't pay attention.If you don't seek death,you won't die!
Even though the streetlights on the road ahead had all disappeared,I didn't even know if I was still in the alley.
I suddenly twisted the handle and rushed forward!
What I saw wasn't real.I must still be in the alley.
Looking at the surroundings gradually becoming desolate,with one by one the uneven tombs revealed in the thick fog.
And the outline reflected in the rearview mirror.
I remembered the route in my mind and gradually drove towards the exit of District C.
"Your order has timed out,your order has timed out..."
The phone kept emitting a distorted mechanical sound.It even became a bit hot.
"Who the hell bought a Xiaomi phone!"
I cursed and directly threw the phone into the food delivery box and ignored it.
Without the light of the phone,there was only the white high beam left,but it couldn't illuminate the way I came.
The front was unknown,but the continuous sounds from behind made me have to rush forward.
Until I seemed to recognize the road in front of me.It was the place that the company employee took me to see.
When I turned my head to search around,I saw the broken chessboard was shaking.
Tap,tap,tap...
There were no chess pieces on the chessboard where the two old men were playing chess,but there was the sound of playing chess.
I suddenly turned the scooter around,and the headlight shone on the chessboard.Suddenly,two gaunt figures were constantly making moves.
"Do you want to play chess with us,young man?"
The two old men simultaneously twisted their necks 180 degrees.Their eyes were pitch black,looking at me,and their faces were ashen.
There were ghosts everywhere?!
I quickly twisted the handle.If it weren't for the employee who told me the fastest way out,now that I was here,it wouldn't be far!
But at this moment,from all directions,the sound of crawling gradually came.
In the thick fog,there were more and more shadows.When I turned around and prepared to rush out of District C,
The ground somehow became extremely hot,and even the wheels were almost burned through.
With a hiss,the front and rear tires burst one after another.
And with the continuous bumping of the electric scooter,I finally couldn't control it.I was directly thrown out.
When blood flowed down from my forehead and I looked at the overwhelming ghosts,the talisman in my hand was already useless.
Death isn't scary.The scariest thing is to die of poverty here and still have to serve these ghosts.
I limped up and wanted to move forward even more,to get out faster.It seemed that getting out meant surviving.
A burned hand had already grabbed my pant leg.I didn't dare to look down at all,but used all my strength to move forward a little more.
I really...couldn't hold on anymore.
More ghosts stretched out their claws,ready to pull me into the thick fog.
"Oooh—"
A rooster crowed.At the moment when my consciousness was blurring,I finally saw the dawn.
