Urban Legend: 'Midnight Taxi'

On a rainy night, taxi driver Old Ke was driving on a highway on the outskirts of the city. At 2:44 AM, a drenched female passenger stood by the roadside, waving at him. Old Ke hit the brakes, the woman got into the back seat, and gave the address of an old, long-demolished community in a cold, flat tone. Old Ke glanced at her through the rearview mirror—the car's interior lights were off, but the woman's face in the mirror was unnaturally clear, as pale as paper, and muddy rainwater was constantly dripping from her clothes. "Master, can I pay the fare via transfer?" The woman's voice seemed to vibrate directly in the car's air. Old Ke felt a chill down his spine, just wanting to get her out of the car quickly. He casually replied, "Sure, sure. There's a QR code on the dashboard, just scan it yourself." A few seconds later, Old Ke's phone, placed next to the handbrake, lit up with a faint notification sound. Old Ke stole a glance at his phone screen. A bank transfer notification was displayed: Notification: You have received a transfer of $0.00 Memo: Purchased 'The Gaze in the Rearview Mirror' Old Ke froze. Before he could even process the meaning of the memo, his gaze accidentally swept across the rearview mirror— No one was in the rearview mirror. But through the reflection in the central rearview mirror, he suddenly saw the back of his own head. The 'self' in the rearview mirror was slowly turning its head, revealing a bizarre and stiff smile towards Old Ke in the driver's seat.

Lao Ke's blood instantly froze. He tried to pull out the car key and escape, but found his body completely out of control. A woman's whisper came from the back seat, right by his ear: "Thanks for the trade, your eyes... they're mine now." Urban Legend Rule: When riding or driving a taxi late at night, if a passenger in the back seat requests digital payment, never look at the transaction notes. The moment you make eye contact with 'It' in a mirror, that visual memory and control will no longer belong to you. The woman's damp, cold breath brushed his ear as she whispered the forbidden truth: the world mistakenly believes that zero-dollar transfers are taboo, but the real curse lies in reading the notes. The mirror is the boundary between yin and yang. The instant Lao Ke glimpsed her through the mirror, their gazes met, and control over their sight was exchanged. The transfer was free, but the price was his right to observe the world. An alien consciousness slowly encroached upon his vision. Lao Ke's soul was trapped deep within his body, helplessly watching as the fake him in the mirror took over this vessel. The next morning, road maintenance workers found the taxi parked by the roadside. Lao Ke sat in the driver's seat, his vital signs normal, but he was unresponsive to the outside world, his eyes wide and vacant, staring straight ahead. From then on, this wandering taxi is often seen on suburban roads late at night. The driver stares ahead and drives, never making eye contact with anyone. If you take a taxi on a rainy night and it's him driving and a passenger making a transfer, absolutely do not look at the phone's transaction notes, or your gaze will become an invisible sacrificial offering in the trade.

So this is the continuation of that urban legend… Just the thought of the 'me' in the mirror smiling at me already has me speechless with fear. This sense of dread… it's suffocating.
