Midnight Evil

Midnight Evil

It was a gloomy night. Driver Jiangnan was speeding along a quiet highway, the streetlights casting dim light on both sides.

It emitted a faint, reddish glow, making him feel a strange aura permeating it.

For some reason, the roads were unusually quiet today, with very few cars on the road, which gave me a strange sense of unease. The woods on both sides...

Under the eerie red light, it flashed a blood-red halo.

Suddenly, Jiang Nan saw a white figure waving at him from the woods ahead. He involuntarily stopped the car, but strangely...

Strangely, when he calmed down and looked around, the white figure that had been waving at him had vanished without a trace, but he was certain that he had just...

What I saw was definitely not an illusion.

A gust of cold wind blew down, and Jiang Nan felt a chill run through his body. He instinctively felt...

Something felt off; he sensed something was watching him. He quickly stepped back on the gas, intending to drive away.

Just then, a strange voice called out, "Jiangnan... Jiangnan..." Good heavens, it was coming from the darkness behind the car.

The sound came from somewhere, and through the rearview mirror, he could vaguely see a thick, eerie mist, shimmering with white light, emerging from the woods behind him.

It broke apart.

"No!" Jiang Nan instinctively sensed something was wrong and quickly turned around. Without looking in the rearview mirror, he sped away, as if he were going crazy.

He sped forward at high speed, the trees on both sides rushing past in the darkness of the road. In an instant, he was already driving forward at breakneck speed.

After driving for more than ten kilometers, he finally calmed down and slowed down. A terrible thought rose in his mind.

I must have seen a ghost, no, maybe something even more terrifying, a demon.

Just as he was pondering this, suddenly, he could vaguely see large swaths of thin fog spreading across the mountain road ahead, which abruptly made him think again.

A nameless fear gripped him, and before he could ponder it further, he drove straight into the thick fog, which billowed like giant ocean waves.

The car was quickly submerged, and Jiangnan saw the scenery in all directions outside the window become a blur in an instant. He involuntarily slowed down.

At the same time, he sensed that the milky white fog in front of the windshield was strange and eerie.

"Could it be that thing catching up with us?" he thought in alarm. Just then, a "thud" sounded from the thick fog ahead.

With a "thud," the engine roared, and two dim headlights appeared in the fog ahead. Before he could react, he saw...

A black van with its headlights flashing brightly emerged from the fog and rushed towards him.

He quickly swung the steering wheel, turning the car sharply to swerve away from the speeding black van. With a "whoosh," the van...

The car sped past his window, and he couldn't help but glance down. Good heavens! He wouldn't have been so terrified if he hadn't looked; what he saw made his soul leap from his body.

The terrifying black van was completely empty. The interior, though brightly lit, was utterly deserted.

The unusually bright light sent chills down his spine. Before he could even regain his senses, the driverless black car had already sped up behind his vehicle in an instant.

They had disappeared into the thick fog behind his car.

"What exactly did I just see?!" Jiang Nan wondered to himself, while a strange sense of foreboding rose within him.

It touched his heart.

"Ah---ah---ah---ah," a series of eerie, echoing baby songs resounded from the trees lining the roadside outside his car.

The singing, faint and eerie, suddenly surged from the surrounding fog and air towards him and the car, instantly engulfing them.

He was enveloped in a strange fog. At the same time, his car, as if out of control, inexplicably slowed down on its own.

With a sudden "thud---clatter," the truck from Jiangnan came to an automatic stop on the fog-shrouded mountain road.

"What's going on?" Jiang Nan felt a sudden, inexplicable fear; he instinctively sensed that something was wrong with the car.

The question stopped only after it was found to be flawed. At the same time, the faint, eerie infantic singing from all around grew even more terrifying in the thick fog, the sound...

The singing transformed into something resembling the cries of a baby, echoing in the thick fog outside the car, sending a chill down Jiangnan's spine.

A chill instantly washed over my entire body.

Before he could react, a series of urgent and forceful bangings on the car door sounded to his right, startling him instantly.

His heart nearly exploded; he involuntarily screamed, jumped up abruptly, and looked back—oh my god!

There was no one outside the right-hand window! All he could see was an empty, misty clearing.

"Knock---knock---knock," at that moment, another sharp knocking sounded from outside the car on the left. He couldn't help but turn his head to the left.

Looking out the car window, he was shocked to see an elderly woman with white hair, dressed in black village clothes, appear on his left side.

Grandma stood motionless on the fog-shrouded open space by the road, carrying him on her back, with a bonfire that had appeared out of nowher
