This is not how you drive a machine!

Chapter 19 The Jackdaw's Dilemma

"Competition..."

The jackdaw's eyes were blank and he began to mutter to himself.

"Last round... fourth talent released... module malfunction..."

Zhou Yun looked puzzled: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Jackdaw's eyes flickered, and her color changed slightly. She quickly pushed Zhou Yun away.

"Yeah, I'm sorry... the game isn't over yet, I haven't lost yet!"

"No, I've already lost..."

"Don't come near me, you'll die..."

After saying that, she quickly unfolded into a racing car. After the rear wheels scraped the ground, she suddenly exerted force and disappeared at the end of the street like a rocket.

It came suddenly and left suddenly.

"..."

Looking at the direction where the jackdaw disappeared, Zhou Yun scratched his head.

The night wind suddenly swept across the empty instant noodle bucket on the ground. Listening to the sporadic cat meows on the roadside, he thought about this weird logic and the secretive girl. After thinking for a long time, he finally understood.

"I can't figure it out, go to sleep!"

……

The piercing sound waves swept across the city streets, causing the lights in the residential buildings on both sides to light up. Everyone wondered whose ghost fire machine was howling.

After the jackdaw had rushed across half the city, a sharp pain from the soul filled its entire body.

The red and white stripes on both sides gradually merged with the curb, and she realized that what she saw was not a racetrack, but a street.

"So...I lost a long time ago?"

Hearing the sirens blaring, Jackdaw quickly found an alley entrance, parked his car inside, and then quickly folded up the car body.

"Hiss~ It hurts!"

Jackdaw, tears in his eyes, picked up the clothes and was about to put them on when he heard a voice coming from the alley.

"Jackdaw, look at how much pain you're in!"

"Without a contractor replenishing the 'heart vessel', would you dare to unfold it like this?"

Hearing the sound, Jackdaw was startled at first, then happy, and then rushed forward quickly and hugged a girl in a police uniform.

"Sister Ruoyue!"

Jackdaw buried his head in Ruoyue's chest and rubbed it, then looked at the alley entrance cautiously.

Lin Ye Ruoyue pulled Jackdaw away, her tone somewhat helpless: "I have already led the mounted police away, don't worry, no one will take you away."

"Thank you, thank you sister."

"But I'm always covering for you. One day, it'll be exposed." Ruoyue said, "What if the RCMP finds out and fires me? What will you do?"

"I……"

The jackdaw was at a loss.

Looking at the cute face of the jackdaw, Ruoyue reached out and gently combed the ends of the jackdaw's hair.

She knew in her heart that Jackdaw had suffered too much over the years and that none of that should have happened to her.

"With what you've done, you'll definitely be deported. Hurry and find a racer to sign a deep contract with, or you won't be able to escape the WMC's laws."

After finishing her hair, Ruoyue couldn't help but pinch Jackdaw's face: "Last time, I had already found someone to talk to, but you ran away halfway and insisted on finding someone yourself. Where is that person?"

The jackdaw remained silent.

Anything she said about finding it herself was a lie. She just... didn't want to kill another driver.

"Look at you, your heart vessel is broken into pieces!" Ruoyue scratched her hair in annoyance: "If you don't sign the contract, I... I don't want to see you gone one day!"

"Yes, I'm sorry, sister." Jackdaw said, "Can you give me a little more time?"

"follow me."

"no, do not want!"

Jackdaw shook her head. Her mental state was becoming increasingly unstable, and she was afraid of causing trouble for her sister. Besides, going back would mean finding the driver... how troublesome.

Ruoyue knew that Jackdaw would not obey, so she sighed helplessly: "Our Linye tribe has not received survival resources for a long time. If you don't go to the competition, the tribe will starve to death."

If the tribe didn't need her, she actually hoped that Jackdaw would be sent back. Although that world wasn't as good as this one, at least he could save his life.

"Can't you just consider the Linye tribe?"

"I……"

Jackdaw was silent for a long time, then hesitantly said, "Isn't Sister Wuying running a race?"

"Wuying is not as good as you." Ruoyue sighed: "Now is the era of system. Old mecha girls are no longer good. New mecha girls are pursuing balance. She can't win the game."

"Sister Wuying and I are from the same group. I can't do this either."

"But you have speed, extreme speed." Ruoyue said, "You were built with all the resources of the tribe..."

"It's a speed that will kill people. I... really don't want it."

The moonlight shone obliquely into the alley, drawing a diagonal line on the wall, separating the two people. The air suddenly became heavy, and both of them were speechless.

After a while, Jackdaw whispered, "Sister, I...I will do my best to help the tribe!"

Ruoyue turned her face to the side.

She knew that it was unfair to put the heavy fate of the tribe on the jackdaw.

We also know that Jackdaw came to this world to participate in the competition as soon as she was born. She was raised by humans and she cares about humans very much.

I also know that Jackdaw's heart is severely damaged, and his spirit...

Ruoyue was in a state of confusion for a moment, and after a long time, she sighed.

"Have you eaten yet? If not, I'll take you out for a meal."

Hearing about eating, Jackdaw suddenly thought of something and asked, "Sister Ruoyue, do you have money?"

Ruoyue was a little surprised. Doesn’t it usually need to be eaten?

"How much do you want?"

"Hmm..." Jackdaw counted on his hands for a long time, then said seriously, "To the extent that he could be captured by King Jiji!"

……

In the morning, the sun is just right.

Zhou Yun rubbed his eyes. After working hard for more than two months, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and got a seat as an official driver.

With his body and mind relaxed, he wanted to stay in the dreamland for a while longer, but suddenly remembered that he had to report to the club today, so he opened his eyes.

Horrible upright ape, start!
At this time, the sound of clanging and banging was heard downstairs. The old guy in the repair shop was already at work. After having breakfast together, he hurried on the road.

On the bus, he looked at the shops, residential buildings, vehicles, and pedestrians on both sides of the street... The morning mist was dispersed by the wind, leaving behind a thick smell of human fireworks.

After crossing over, he suffered almost all kinds of grievances. This was the first time he felt... that this world was so real.

Then it’s not real.

After a two-hour drive, Zhou Yun's leg bones felt numb.

It would be fine if he was just numb, but the closed environment, the terrifying flow of people, and the extremely high carbon dioxide content made him drowsy even when he was standing.

I feel numb and sleepy, and my stomach is also getting angry. I complain that my breakfast is not to my liking and I can't digest it...

By the time he arrived at the Taling Deer Club, he didn't even have the energy to talk to the girl at the front desk. He lay on the counter like a caterpillar.

"Sir, what are you doing in our club?"

The girl at the front desk was a little confused. Who is this guy? He looks good... but why are you so sleepy? Did you drink all night?

This is not a hotel counter!

Zhou Yun took out the contract from his arms and threw it to the receptionist. After taking a look at it, the receptionist yelled.

"Manager Ye! Our team's new driver is here!"

　I worked hard, wrote more drafts, and then drew the jackdaw.
