Chapter 37 - 37: Isn’t it just a ghost?



“Xu Yang, what should we do?”

Officer Wang saw this and asked, “Your friend got in that taxi… Should we notify him to find a chance to get off?”

“No need.”

“My friend is easily scared, and if we tell him now that the driver is a ghost, who knows what he might do!”

“Will he be in danger?”

“He should be… fine, right?”

Xu Yang wasn’t too sure either.

That ghost didn’t have any evil aura, proving it wasn’t a “vicious ghost.”

Its strength was weak.

According to Xu Yang’s Ghost King elder sister, Ma Long had an Extremely Yin Body, which had a suppressing and immune effect on Yin energy. Ordinary ghosts couldn’t harm him, even the Water Ghost from the Yellow River couldn’t get him when he dragged it to the shore.

But what if?

Considering unexpected factors, Xu Yang decided to warn Ma Long.

He took out his phone, editing a text message while saying, “Officer Wang, follow closely and be careful not to lose them!”

“Don’t worry!”

Officer Wang skillfully maneuvered his car into the lane and closely followed the taxi, confidently saying, “You can trust my driving skills. When I was working on the frontlines, 1 participated in several large-scale arrests, and high-speed street chases were a common occurrence!”

Ahead.

In the taxi.

As soon as Ma Long got in the car, he recognized the taxi driver.

He couldn’t help but think of the bizarre happenings from last night.

This taxi driver didn’t ask the destination but drove him home, and then in a blink of an eye… the car disappeared!

Ma Long was usually unobservant.

If it were in the past, he definitely wouldn’t notice these details.

But after experiencing ghost encounters twice last night, he became very neurotic, sitting in the passenger seat, carefully observing the taxi driver, and tentatively asked, “Mister, do you know me?”

“Of course I know you, didn’t I just drive you yesterday?”

The taxi driver focused on driving.

The car was still very steady, and there was absolutely no noise.

Despite it being summer, the car windows were closed, yet the interior was cool and even made Ma Long feel a bit cold.

He tried to feel the air conditioning vent with his hand.

No cold wind was blowing.

Ma Long swallowed and asked, “Mister, do you know where I’m going?”

“Yes, aren’t you going to your family’s construction site?”

Ma Long confirmed that he didn’t tell the taxi driver his destination, just like yesterday.

His mouth felt dry, and his throat was parched.

He secretly took out his phone, intending to ask Xu Yang for help.

However, as soon as he took out his phone, he found a message from Xu Yang-

“Ma Long, I’m going to tell you something, you have to stay calm and not be afraid.”

Ma Long quickly typed a response: Xu Yang, I also have something to tell you. I suspect there’s something wrong with this taxi driver!

But before his message was sent, his phone vibrated, and Xu Yang sent several more messages.

“The driver of the taxi you’re in is not human!”

“But don’t worry, it’s not an evil ghost, and it shouldn’t hurt you!”

Ma Long’s pupils shrank.

He deleted the message he had just typed and quickly wrote a new one: Xu Yang, save me!

“Don’t worry, we’re following behind, nothing will happen to you!”

Seeing Xu Yang’s reply, Ma Long felt much more reassured.

He sat in the passenger seat, not moving, his body trembling slightly.

Soon.

They arrived at his family’s construction site.

This was a partly completed commercial and residential complex, located in the west of Wu City. After the taxi stopped at the entrance, Ma Long paid the fare, rolled and stumbled out of the car, and quickly ran into the complex.

Seeing this scene from behind, Xu Yang couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief.

“It seems like my judgment was correct; it wasn’t an evil ghost and didn’t harm people.”

Xu Yang spoke, puzzled, “But…why is it like this?”

A ghost.

It didn’t enter the Underworld Palace but stayed in the human world without harming people. It spent half of the night secretly driving taxis for passengers. Was it doing this to make money?

Officer Wang was also very curious, closely following the taxi.

Then they saw…

The taxi kept stopping and picking up and dropping off passengers throughout Wu City, and no one suffered any harm from the taxi driver.

Meanwhile.

At the construction site.

Ma Long found his parents in a temporary project department set up in a steel structure room.

His father had a bandage wrapped around his head, seemingly injured.

Ma Long approached and asked about the situation. His mother hesitated and said, “Something happened on the construction site today. Your father came to deal with it, but accidentally fell and hit his head.”

She seemed to be hiding something as she spoke.

At this moment.

There were more than a dozen workers gathered outside the project department.

They represented all the workers on the construction site. They knocked on the door, and after seeing Ma Long’s father, a middle-aged man smiled bitterly and said, “Mr. Ma, you know the current situation… We brothers really can’t continue to work here!”

Ma Long’s father held his head and stood up, saying, “Gentlemen, someone must be up to no good behind the scenes, not wanting us to hand in the project on time according to the contract, and deliberately creating fear. Don’t leave yet, appease the workers below, and I’ll try to find someone to solve this problem as soon as possible.”

Ma Long was bewildered.

What…

What’s going on?

It seemed that the issue on the construction site wasn’t as simple as he thought.

He was about to ask when suddenly a scream came from outside-

“Ahhhh!!!

“Ghost… ghost… there’s really a ghost!”

A young worker holding his pants ran into the project department, his face full of fear. The entire person was pale, and his body was trembling as he stuttered, “Mr. Ma, there’s really a ghost on the construction site. Just now when 1 was peeing… wahhh!”

A man in his mid-twenties couldn’t help but start to cry: “Mr. Ma, please, have some compassion. Settle our wages and let us go. I just got engaged to my girlfriend, and I only want to work to earn some dowry money. 1 don’t want to lose my life here!”

The workers who had just been appeased by Ma Long’s father also panicked inexplicably and spoke one after another.

Ma Long’s parents were as anxious as ants on a hot pan.

The construction period for the commercial and residential complex was tight, and it was now at the most critical time. If the workers all left now and news of the haunted construction site spread, the project would be ruined!

Failure to deliver the project as promised in the contract would render the Ma family bankrupt just based on the liquidated damages!

Ma Long finally understood the ins and outs.

He shivered.

Damn!

Why were there ghosts everywhere?

But he also understood that it was time for him to step forward and try to save the situation. He slammed on the table violently and shouted, “Everyone, don’t be afraid! Isn’t it just a ghost?”

“If we catch it, everything will be fine!”
