Xie Ying had never driven a car before, he didn't know how to drive at all because at that time he said he didn't like driving because it was stuffy and uncomfortable so he didn't learn to drive. He affirmed that he liked driving large displacement motorcycles, comfortable when driving like blending in with the natural wind and easily observing the scenery around him. So every time his father reminded him to learn to drive a car, he was extremely uncomfortable.
So why could Xie Ying drive a car so smoothly now? Without a single awkward movement.
"Ying, did you secretly learn to drive a car?".
His lips opened to say something but stopped, he shook his head and focused on driving.
Xie Cheng: "...".
What a brat with multiple personalities! Unusual temperament!
Suddenly remembering yesterday when he promised to take him to see a psychologist tomorrow, but people in this world seemed to have disappeared, so where the hell would a psychologist come from? Xie Cheng supported him and sighed.
"Have you had dinner yet?"
Xie Cheng: "Huh? Oh, you haven't. You haven't eaten yet."
Xie Ying: "Yes."
Xie Cheng: "Then I'll cook something delicious for you when I get back."
Xie Ying: "Yes."
After that, no one said anything more, focusing on driving home. On the deserted road, there was not a single person, the lights were dark, the world seemed to be swallowed by darkness. The road was only illuminated by headlights, looking back in the distance, you would see a moving light, it was his and his car.
Xie Cheng propped his chin up and looked out the window, he couldn't see anything, it was as dark as coal. He stopped looking, closed his eyes.
"SCREAM!".
The car suddenly stopped, he was startled and fell forward, scolding: "How the hell are you driving? Do you want to kill us both?".
Xie Ying panicked and opened the car door, got out: "Hey kid, are you okay?".
Xie Ying supported the little girl, about six years old, wearing a cute red dress. Tears welled up in the corners of her eyes, and she said, "I'm fine, thank you."
Xie Cheng got out of the car and went out to see: "What happened? Did you hit someone?".
Xie Ying: "Where do you live? Get in the car, we'll take you home. It's dangerous right now."
Just now, he almost hit the little girl with his car, but luckily Xie Ying stopped the car in time.
The little girl shook her head, and when she saw Xie Cheng coming, she looked scared and jumped into Xie Ying's arms, pointing at Xie Cheng and shouting: "Ghost! There's a ghost, huhu."
Xie Cheng pointed at himself, raising his eyebrows: "Ghost?".
Suddenly, a strange little girl pointed at his face and said he was a ghost, he couldn't believe it. Xie Cheng walked over to the little girl, trying not to get angry with the child. One leg knelt down and softly said: "Little girl, why did you say I'm a ghost? I'm so cute, look at this".
He raised two fingers and smiled friendly, a fake smile that was scary. The little girl cried out: "No huhu ghost!".
Xie Cheng's face was covered, speechless. Xie Anh beside him laughed at his face.
"Chuan Chuan, where are you?".
Xie Cheng and Xie Anh simultaneously looked up. A woman wearing a white dress, long flowing black hair, a beautiful face was bewildered and worried.
"Mom!".
The little girl left Xie Ying's arms and ran to the woman. He and he stood up, the woman hugged the little girl and turned around, saying: "Thank you two very much, my Chuan Chuan is still naughty and running around even though it's dark".
Xie Ying smiled politely: "It's okay, just now we were driving the little girl and almost hit her. Remember to be careful."
The woman panicked: "Oh, really? Luckily it's okay, I'll watch the baby carefully."
After saying that, the woman held the little girl's hand and turned to leave. Xie Cheng suddenly grabbed the woman's arm: "Sister."
The woman turned around: "What's wrong?"
Suddenly Xie Cheng's face changed color, the hand holding the woman's arm shook like a leaf and dropped down. Everything seemed to stop, he was frozen in fear of what was in front of him. On the other side, the woman's beautiful face was crushed and decomposing, several maggots were crawling out, crawling down to her neck, some of them crawling into her nostrils and ears. His eyes suddenly moved down to the hand holding the little girl's hand, his pupils constricted. The girl lost half of her left body, fresh flesh was exposed, bones were sticking out, blood flowed down the road into a puddle.
The girl acted cute and smiled friendly at him then bared her teeth, her face was devilish: "Hehe, you devil".
"AAA!".
"CLACK!".
Xie Ying pulled him into the car at the same time, he quickly stepped on the brakes. The car sped straight into the mother and child demons in front. The two demons were sent flying several meters, Xie Ying immediately ran over them.
"Fuck!".
In the car, Xie Cheng held his head and trembled. This was the first time he had come face to face with a disgusting demon. The first psychological shock in his life for a weak and cowardly person like him.
"Are you okay?".
Not hearing his question, he could not calm down, Xie Cheng punched his own head and shouted: "I WANT TO WAKE UP! I DON'T WANT TO HAVE THIS DREAM!!".
The wheel stopped, Xie Ying grabbed his hand to prevent him from hitting his own head, and hugged him. Her voice contained coaxing: "This is not a dream, it's real, and it's okay, don't be afraid. I'm still by your side."
The warm embrace and warmth spread throughout the car, he felt comforted, the fear gradually buried. Finally, he regained his composure, took a deep breath, closed his eyes and opened them again. He was at peace again.
"I'm fine."
Leaning back on the chair, his face suddenly became serious: "Okay, after this time, I will definitely become really strong. If I keep being weak, I won't be able to survive in this world."
Suddenly, Xie Cheng was full of energy as if possessed by a demon, he stroked his long, messy hair. From his expression to his overly colorful demeanor, he looked cool. Xie Cheng beat his chest and said: "You have to trust me, Ying. We will overcome...".
"WA WA WA!!!".
"Ah ah ah". A flock of black crows flew past the car window from somewhere, the creepy cry made Xie Cheng jump up in surprise.
Xie Ying: "...".
Xie Cheng: "...".
Just now, he patted his chest, and the next second, he returned to his cowardly appearance. He's really good at putting on airs. Will he be weak all his life like this?
"No, no, I have to overcome my fear."
Clenching his fists, Xie Cheng calmed down. Xie Ying had been watching his performance all this time and was smiling.
Xie Cheng: "What are you laughing at? Let's drive home."
Xie Ying: "Yes, yes~."
The wheels rolled, the lonely car drove on the dark road with no exit in sight. There was no moonlight, no street lights. It started to rain in drops, and there was a drizzle in the night sky. There was a red light in front, the red light shining on the wet road created an effect that made the surroundings also fall into a red color, and the cold air in the rain created a scary, ghostly look.
The car gradually slowed down and stopped, Xie Cheng raised his eyebrows: "Hey, there are no cars left now, why are you stopping at the red light?".
Not hearing Xie Ying's reply, he turned his face and saw him staring at something in front of him.
"Huh?".
He immediately followed his gaze, squinting to see clearly. Looking closely, he couldn't see anything, only the raindrops falling.
"What are you looking at?".
As soon as he finished asking, Xie Ying stepped on the brakes and sped away, he fell backwards, cursing: "Hey you! Do you want to kill us both again?!".
Breaking out in a cold sweat, his hands gripped the steering wheel so tightly that a few veins appeared. Suddenly, the wheel stopped unconsciously, he angrily hit the steering wheel, cursing: "Fuck! Why can't I drive anymore?".
He opened the car door: "Why don't you let me check the car, something must be stuck in the wheel".
He immediately grabbed his hand: "It's dangerous! Let me go with you".
Just now, what Xie Ying saw at the red light was the figure of a mother demon staggering and swaying slowly. Following the red light, he saw it suddenly rush towards the car with a ferocious and disgusting face. Xie Ying didn't dare tell him because he was afraid he would be scared.
The two of them got off. Xie Ying went up first and went to the back wheel. He bent down and looked down, his face stern: "What the hell?!".
Xie Cheng went over and looked over and was shocked. Under the wheel, there was a kitten that had been crushed and wrapped around the wheel. Its intestines were hanging out, blood and green and yellow liquid were flowing out, the smell was foul. He covered his mouth and pulled Xie Ying out. "Let me go to the car and find something to take it out."
Without waiting for him to get it, he used his bare hands to pull out the kitten's body. Xie Cheng stood there, mouth wide open. He brought it up in front of him, blood was dripping down his hand, and a few pieces of fresh flesh fell out.
Xie Ying was annoyed: "Damn it! Suddenly there was a cat stuck in the wheel and I didn't see anything hit it."
The fishy smell went straight into his nose, Xie Cheng covered his nose and avoided it, saying: "You even used your hands to pick it out, throw it out and wipe your hands. It's so dirty!".
He threw the cat's body into the nearby trash can, using the rainwater to wash his hands. In the car, Xie Cheng frowned and covered his nose, looking at him, saying: "Hey, are your hands clean?".
Xie Ying leaned back in the chair and stroked his hands: "I've washed my hands clean."
Xie Cheng waved his hands: "Then why is there still a faint fishy smell in the car?".
"Meow meow.. Meow meow."
Suddenly hearing the sound of a cat meowing on the ceiling of the car, Xie Cheng raised his head and listened carefully.
"Meow meow.. Meow meow."
He frowned, asking: "Hey, little Ying, did you hear the sound of a cat meowing?".
Xie Ying also raised his head to look at the ceiling of the car.
"Meow meow... Meow meow".
Xie Ying: "There's definitely a cat meowing, could it be that the kitten died and the mother cat came looking for us?".
"Clank clack clack".
"GIVE ME BACK MY CHILD!!!".
"Fuck!!". Xie Cheng and Xie Ying shouted at the same time.
The mother demon crawled onto the hood of the car, stuck her disgusting face on the glass, and fiercely clapped her hands. Xie Ying immediately stepped on the brakes, quickly turned the steering wheel and sped away. The demon on the hood of the car fell to the ground, rolled a few times, and then lay motionless. This time the car was extremely fast, Xie Cheng slightly peeked out to look behind to see if the demon was chasing after him. As soon as he looked up, he saw that the demon chasing after him was about to catch up with the car, its bloody mouth opened and it laughed loudly.
"HAHAHA!! YOU GIVE ME BACK MY CHILD!".
"Sob!".
Xie Cheng's face turned pale, he put his head back in, and pressed the button to roll up the window. Turning around, he urged Xie Ying: "Run faster, it's chasing behind!".
Cold sweat poured down his hands, he didn't say anything and focused on running.
"HAHAHA!!!".
Xie Ying glanced over and saw the demon sticking its head out and pressing its face against the glass. He pretended not to see it. The demon was now on the roof of the car, its hands pounding on the roof and then burst out laughing: "HAHAHA!! YOU DARE TO RUN MY SON TO DIE AND THROW HER BODY IN THE TRASH! TODAY, I'LL LET YOU DIE! HAHA!".
Xie Cheng's face turned from green to white, changing color repeatedly. He closed his eyes, clasped his hands and chanted Buddha: "Om mani padme hum!".
