Qin Xiangdong was obviously following w.a.n.g's lead. w.a.n.g asked him to keep driving, and he immediately accelerated the car, without taking another look at the woman in red.

　　At the same time, I was relieved to know w.a.n.g was far more experienced than Qin Xiangdong in driving at night.

　　But it's not over yet.

　　At the very moment when the car was pa.s.sing by the woman in red, she stopped waving and b.u.mped against the police car with a run-up.

　　"Ah..."

　　Qin Xiangdong felt a chill running down his spine, and his face turned ashen. He, without recovering from the fright yet, looked at w.a.n.g for further instructions.

　　w.a.n.g was also a bit undecided at this time, because the hit felt too real. Even I had the feeling that we crashed against a human.

　　"Don't stop. Keep driving."

　　But I knew woman was definitely not a human. So, when Qin Xiangdong was hesitating about stopping the car, I said at once.

　　But by this time the car had slowed down.

　　Apparently, Qin Xiangdong didn't listen to me. I was a little anxious, "Please don't stop. That woman is no human, and you will get us all killed if you stop."

　　w.a.n.g took a look at me.

　　"Ah..."

　　Qin Xiangdong screamed, because he saw a grinning ashen face on the dark car gla.s.s. It was exactly the woman in red, and she was muttering.

　　"Why don't you give me a ride?

　　Why...

　　I want to go home..."

　　Separated with a ghost by only a layer of gla.s.s, the young police officer did not pa.s.s out. I was quite impressed by his psychological quality.

　　I hastily took out a piece of spell from the satchel, applied it onto the winds.h.i.+eld, and shouted loudly at the same time, "Go back to where you are from. Scram!"

　　The spell instantly ignited itself without fire, and the face lying on the gla.s.s fell down, with a cry of surprise.

　　"Drive!"

　　w.a.n.g made a prompt decision.

　　Although Qin Xiangdong was frightened, his hands and feet were agile. He stepped on the gas, and the car whizzed by the ghost.

　　w.a.n.g, who seemed to be shuddering in retrospect, and wanted to look back. I quickly covered his curious eyes and said with a smile, "w.a.n.g, do you know you should never turn back when you meet a ghost?"

　　For an ordinary ghost, the human had to look back three times, so that the ghost could have the opportunity to ingest the human's soul. Normally, there were three soul lights on the shoulders of a human, and it would be difficult to ignite when they were extinguished.

　　Then, the energy of the living human body would be weak, and the ghost would take advantage of this moment to break through.

　　For a powerful ghost, he could take your life, if you looked back even once.

　　w.a.n.g was also under an obsession of the ghost just now. As soon as I reminded him, he pulled himself together almost instantly. He nodded his head in shame and dared not look back. Then, he asked, "Little girl, you really have a thing or two up your sleeve, huh?"

　　I forced a smile, "I just know a little."

　　"No wonder you dared to go out in the middle of the night."w.a.n.g said with a smile, which eased the tension.

　　However, Qin Xiangdong's face was still whitish. Just three minutes after the car started, his face was even whiter. He saw the figure of a woman in red on the roadside ahead again, who was holding an umbrella and waving at the car.

　　The scene and the section of the road were exactly the same as before.

　　"What should I do?"

　　Qin Xiangdong's voice was a little trembling.

　　On the contrary, w.a.n.g was very calm. He lit a cigarette and said, "Don't stop, just keep driving."

　　The police car whistled past the ghost in red, and this time, she didn't crash against the car. Nonetheless, it did not mean that the crisis was solved once again.

　　"If I'm not mistaken, this is probably the legendary death cycle?"

　　I said calmly.

　　The so-called death cycle was a process started from entering the environment of the ghosts, and then gradually misguided by ghost tactics, until death.

　　This kind of circ.u.mstance was a little bit like walking in circles in the countryside. Taking a pee would solve the problem perfectly. However, the death cycle was way more troublesome. If it was not cracked as soon as possible, I was afraid that tomorrow morning, news about a police car falling into a deep ditch or b.u.mping into a big truck and no one survived would make the headlines.

　　As expected, a few minutes later, we met the same female ghost in red, holding the same umbrella at the same crossing. This time I saw a malicious smile on her ashen face.

　　"Don't look at her. Keep driving! Miss..."

　　w.a.n.g looked at me, hoping that I could figure out a way. After all, he had seen my tricks just now.

　　We were all in the same boat now, and if I couldn't break this death cycle, no one could escape. Thus, I took a small bag out of my satchel.

　　Since learning this trade from my uncle, I had been carrying this waterproof bag almost all the time, especially at night.

　　w.a.n.g looked at my movements in bewilderment.

　　"This bag,"I explained, "is filled with grains which are good things for expelling the evil and pry for blessings. Besides, they had been offerings in the temple to deal with evil spirits especially."

　　As I said, I rolled down the window of the car and scattered the grains along the road. I did it in a very slow and careful manner, just like a solemn ritual.

　　Finally, when I arrived at the deserted crossing where the female ghost in red always appeared, I took out a handful of beans refined in dog blood from my satchel.

　　With a crackling sound, the mixture of grains and beans were cast to the ghost in a blink.

　　My sneak attack worked out, and the figure of the female ghost shadow quivered heavily in the night wind.

　　"Move, now..."

　　Qin Xiangdong stepped on the gas forcefully, and the car was accelerated again to an even higher speed. Until we got far away from the crossing, he asked nervously, "How is it?"

　　"Just keep going if you want to know."I was not sure at that moment either.
