Chapter 252 - Not Human (2/2)

The breeze had blown the black cloth away, so the passenger sat in the back, completely unmoving, holding his own urn in his lap.

“What is he thinking‽”

There were no other cars on the road, and Ol’ Zhang’s heart was burning. He had an illusion that he was driving the wrong way. This was not the road heading to the city but deeper into the countryside.

“What should I do‽” He had called the police and sent out a SOS message in the chatgroup, but there was no one around to help him. Whenever he raised his eyes to the mirror, Ol’ Zhang felt as if the eyes had gotten closer to him.

He gripped the steering wheel tightly as the temperature in the car dropped. He was leaning against the chair, but it did not feel soft at all.

His phone that he had dropped to the side started to vibrate. Someone was calling him, but Ol’ Zhang did not dare answer.

“Hey.” The passenger suddenly spoke, and it caused Ol’ Zhang to shiver.

Two seconds later, he said, “Y… Yes?”

“Someone is calling you.”

Ol’ Zhang looked at his phone. The app to call the police with one touch had disappeared, and in its place was an unknown number calling in. The call was hung up soon enough, like the person on the other end of the phone also realized that something was wrong.

“Just ignore it. We can’t talk on the phone while driving anyway.” Ol’ Zhang laughed drily.

Then he glanced at the phone again—a message had come in.

“Quickly stop your car! Run down the road as fast as you can! It’s not a human being sitting at the back of your car!”

The message showed on the screen for several seconds. Ol’ Zhang saw it, and the passenger at the back also saw it. “My friend, always a joker.”

Ol’ Zhang picked up the phone to place it beside the steering wheel. He was about to say something, but when he raised his head to the rear-view mirror, he was shocked to realize the passenger had his face stuck to the partition between them!

There was an inexplicable smile on the passenger’s face.

“There’s no need to deny it. I’m sure you’ve noticed it already.” The hood of the jacket fell off. The passenger’s neck slowly moved, and there was another face growing on the back of his head.

“Technically, he is still human, but I’m not.” This sentence was said by the face on the back.

Ol’ Zhang had forgotten what he should do. His mind was blank. He remembered stepping on the brake. The taxi stopped several meters later. He ran out of the taxi, screaming.

The passenger also got out. He turned away from Ol’ Zhang, and an ugly smile appeared on the face behind his head.

“There’s nowhere to run. This body has been targeted by a madman, so I need a new partner.”

The passenger faced away from Ol’ Zhang, and like a puppet pulled along by a string, he chased after Ol’ Zhang, running backwards.
