"Actually, that town was quite nice originally."
A small town from the Republic of China era, nowadays it stands as a rare architectural landmark.
"I heard that the industry behind it all belongs to one person." The driver made an exaggerated expression, both envious and jealous, "I bet that guy must have been quite a figure back in the days."
He didn't dare say much, but everyone actually understood.
Owning the property rights to an entire town comes with inconceivable wealth and power.
"If there hadn't been those ghost stories, he could have turned the town into a distinctive scenic spot; that would be a money-making venture!"
The driver shook his hands excitedly, as if he had placed himself into this identity.
But quickly he clicked his tongue again, "But what a pity, because of the ghost stories, hardly anyone dares to go there."
Over time, whether it was psychological or not, it felt that even from a distance, the town looked eerie, as if something monstrous was inside.
