"How long will it take us to get there?" asked Nono in the back seat.
"We... should have arrived already." Lu Mingfei said, "According to the route the navigation just pointed out, we should have arrived a long time ago."
"There are no damaged overpasses here," Nuonuo said confidently. "There were no damaged overpasses on the way here either. I didn't see a single barrier. We were driving on a flat road the whole time, and we only passed two intact overpasses along the way."
"Damn, why is there no signal on my phone?" Finkel fiddled with his iPhone, but there was no signal at all, only a gray cross.
"Lu Mingfei, where are we now?" Nuo Nuo asked in a low voice.
“If you had asked me this question a minute ago, I could have answered you.” Lu Mingfei looked quite serious. He exhaled, “I’m sorry, I don’t recognize this road either. As far as I can remember, there is no such road in this city.”
There are two rows of swaying trees with lush leaves on the roadside. The few road signs are all blocked. Behind the trees are tall buildings that look very similar to those in the CBD area, but few of the houses have lights on. This place does not look remote, but it gives people a lifeless feeling. Every traffic light shows green, but when the silver Porsche 911 sports car crosses the zebra crossing, the green indicator light starts counting down from "10", and the same situation occurs for more than a dozen traffic lights in a row. The amazing coincidence reveals an indescribable sense of weirdness, as if entering a countdown to some kind of danger.
Suddenly, the rustling sound of the stereo stopped. The CD player was turned on without anyone knowing. A low laugh came from the car's expensive Manhattan stereo, which startled everyone.
The laughter was solemn and grand, like an ancient bronze bell echoing in a church.
"Damn it, you scared me!" Finkel patted his chest, "Has the signal been restored?"
He looked at his phone and saw that the signal column was still gray with a cross.
"It seems to be foggy ahead." Nuonuo looked at the dark road ahead, which seemed like night. The end of the road was hazy, as if it was shrouded in thick fog, with no end in sight.
"It shouldn't be foggy in such heavy rain." Finger muttered in his seat, "God damn it, why is my heart beating faster and faster, as if something bad is going to happen. My crow's mouth is always very effective. I'm not cursing us, but I really have a bad feeling. I say, should we turn around?"
"It's too late." Lu Mingfei said softly.
"What did you say? The music is a bit loud!" Finkel yelled and adjusted the volume knob on the center console.
But the strange thing was that no matter whether Finkel twisted clockwise or counterclockwise, the music in the speakers remained the same, as if it was not coming from the car system, but from someone standing in front of them singing.
"We've arrived." Lu Mingfei said in a very low voice, "Our destination!"
Everything was explained. Lu Mingfei had lived in this city for more than ten years. The place where Senior Brother Ye Sheng disappeared, the collapsed overpass, was not far from his home. Even if it was a rainy day today, it was impossible for him to take the wrong road.
But when he arrived at the place he was supposed to be, there was nothing there. Lu Mingfei observed for a long time and found that they had been circling in the same place. The navigation was ineffective and the fog covered the intersection ahead. Lu Mingfei didn't even recognize where they were.
This was quite incredible. How could there be such thick fog on a rainy day? This was the main urban area, but the trees on both sides were so lush that they covered the information on the road signs. How could the Urban Management Bureau not find someone to repair them? There was also a whole road where they encountered only green lights. There were more than a dozen intersections, and they didn't see a red light or a yellow light for a second. How small was the probability to encounter so many green lights?
If all this cannot be explained by science, then they may have entered the realm of... "God".
At some point the car drove onto an elevated road, a road Lu Mingfei had never been on before. Lu Mingfei stared at the rearview mirror. The wind blew through the leaves of the cat's nest, and for a moment the number "0" appeared on the road sign at the intersection.
The number "0" can never appear in the numbering of elevated roads!
Eri in the back seat suddenly tensed up, and the expression on her face changed, the blue veins under her skin beating slowly at her temples. Eri's emotions had remained relatively stable, but she suddenly became serious, like a leopard in the forest smelling the scent of a wild beast.
Nono was surprised by Eri's change. Nono lowered her voice and asked, "Eri, did you notice something?"
"Sakura, something is coming." Eri reminded Lu Mingfei who was sitting in the front seat.
Suddenly, there was a noise coming from the rear of the car, as if someone was knocking on the rear of the car. Lu Mingfei's eyes kept switching between the road ahead and the rearview mirror. He stepped on the accelerator very deeply. The current speed was 140 kilometers per hour. There was no car behind him. Was it an illusion? Otherwise, what could chase a sports car at 140 kilometers per hour and knock on its tailgate?
"Did you hear it! Did you hear it?" Finkel yelled in the co-pilot seat like a frightened monkey.
"We are not deaf!" Nuonuo shouted at the "giant monkey" jumping up and down. Her face did not look good and her expression was solemn, but a closer look revealed a hint of excitement.
It seemed that they had mistakenly entered the city of Nibelung. It came very suddenly and no one was mentally prepared... but this was exactly their purpose. There was no need to investigate or look for any traces.
That "God" came here on his own initiative, with his domain and servants!
"...Red alert for heavy rain. It is expected that the rainfall in the city will reach 100 mm in a short period of time, accompanied by extreme weather such as thunderstorms and hurricanes. Some large-scale natural disasters such as mountain torrents and mudslides may occur on some roads along the mountains. Please pay attention to safety when traveling..."
Before I finished saying the word "safe", the car's weather report came to an abrupt end. I don't know if it was because of the signal problem, but the female voice on the traffic radio sounded low and hoarse.
The heavy and grand music never stopped, not even during the weather report. No one had ever heard of this piece of music before. It sounded like the classical style of the late Middle Ages. The music did not sound like it came from the car stereo at all. It was more like the sound of radio broadcasts playing in all directions when passing through a tunnel. The deep and distant background sound echoed in the ears uncontrollably.
The Porsche sports car took a turn at high speed, splashing a curtain of water taller than a person. The drainage system of the elevated road worked frantically but it was of no avail. The rain was too heavy, and the water was crackling on the roof of the car. Water had already accumulated on the road.
Lu Mingfei suddenly narrowed his eyes because a bright light appeared in the rearview mirror, blinding him.
Everyone saw the light, which was rapidly approaching their car and was very conspicuous in the dark night.
It was a car with its high beams on, and the headlights looked like two giant eyes.
Chapter 982 The Shadow of Maybach
"Damn it, it's raining so hard, there's water all over the place, but he's still driving so fast!" Finkel yelled, "This guy is definitely a lunatic!"
Lu Mingfei didn't say anything. His eyes flickered as he looked at the rearview mirror... It was too dark and the light from behind was too strong. Lu Mingfei seemed to see the logo of that car, but he didn't know if he was seeing things.
Lu Mingfei gently stepped on the brakes and slightly slowed down the car. He turned the steering wheel and changed the car to another lane to make way for the car chasing him from behind.
The car quickly caught up with Lu Mingfei's car without slowing down at all. On the two-way street, it almost brushed past the door of the Porsche. If Lu Mingfei's car control skills were not very stable, the two cars would have been in a serious traffic accident with a heavy rear-end collision due to excessive psychological pressure.
With a "swish", the black car left Lu Mingfei and the others far behind.
"Damn it, is this guy really trying to take his life?" Finkel cursed fiercely, "Speeding, this is serious speeding! If I were a traffic policeman, I would definitely stop him and check for drunk driving!"
Almost at the same moment when he was overtaken, Lu Mingfei stepped on the accelerator fiercely and accelerated suddenly. The V8 engine of the Porsche, which had been modified and tuned by Mr. Shao, burst into an astonishing roar, and the needle on the dashboard jumped like a leap.
A strong feeling of being pushed back almost threw everyone in the car away. If the leather seats were not soft enough, the huge force and inertia would have squeezed people's heads to pieces.
"Brother, brother, don't be impulsive!" Finkel advised loudly, "Who knows who we'll meet in this damn place? If he wants to overtake, just let him. There's no need to argue with a madman, right? If you leave the angry car, you'll be the only one who suffers if something happens in the end, right? No matter what, life is the most important thing!"
Lu Mingfei seemed not to have heard Finkel's advice and accelerated the car faster and faster. The water curtain splashing on both sides of the car was like a waterfall rising from the ground. The double-layer laminated glass could not withstand the huge wind pressure. The tire noise and wind noise made people's eardrums hurt.
Nuonuo in the back seat also had a serious look on his face, not because Lu Mingfei was driving too fast, but because of the car in front... If they had already entered Nibelungen, where did this car come from? Was it also a car that entered Nibelungen by mistake?
But even if the car had mistakenly entered this hellhole, when it saw someone in front of it, why didn't it stop to call for help, but instead passed without slowing down at all... Even if this wasn't Nibelungen, who would drive a car at such a high speed on such a heavy rainy day? Speed racing gangs aren't that crazy, right?
Lu Mingfei's speed of 140 kilometers per hour was exceeded in an instant. Judging from the opponent's speed, the minimum must be over 200 kilometers!
Several black shadows passed by the two sides of the Porsche like ghosts. No one could see clearly what these things looked like, only that they looked vaguely like human figures.
"What the hell!" Finkel screamed. He was too shocked today. He glanced at the dashboard of the Porsche. At this moment, the speed of the car had exceeded 200 kilometers per hour. What kind of creature could run at this speed?
Cheetahs? Putting aside the fact that cheetahs have poor endurance, these things are in human form. Could it be that a group of cheetahs stood up and ran wildly on the elevated road in the city during a rainstorm?
This scene is too weird!
Lu Mingfei stared at the dashboard. The speed had been adjusted to 220 kilometers per hour. This meant that the car in front was also going at least 260 kilometers per hour. Lu Mingfei made up his mind and ignored Finkel's shouting. He stepped on the accelerator and the power pump without leaving any gap... With more than 600 horsepower, the speed of this Porsche had reached its limit. Maybe it was 280? Or 290? Lu Mingfei didn't know. At this moment, the numbers had lost their meaning. The speedometer had been pushed to the far right of the dashboard. The dark red area indicated that their speed was very dangerous and the fuel level was rapidly decreasing. At this speed, if the steering wheel was not held firmly, the whole car would be out of control, and the car would be destroyed and people would die.
"Madman, you are also a madman!" Finger shouted loudly, "I don't have any ID with me. If the car crashes and explodes, I will be burned into a pile of charcoal and no one will recognize me. Who will transport my body back to my hometown!"
“Stop making noise!” Lu Mingfei also shouted, using his voice to drown out the noise from the wind and tires, “Look, the rear end of the car in front!”
At this moment, they might have caught up with the car in front, which was probably a few hundred meters ahead of them. Hearing Lu Mingfei's words, Finkel craned his neck to look, and Nono also put his head to the front seat.
After seeing the rear of the car clearly, they both gasped at the same time.
The silver logo, with two "M"s stacked up to form a mountain-like mark, is recognized by everyone and represents a top-level luxury car.
"Maybach!" Finkel pointed at the car in front and shouted, "That's actually a Maybach!"
"Maybach 62S is one of the world's top luxury cars. There is only one in this city." Lu Mingfei whispered, "It's the car of the Media Asia Group's boss. Chu Zihang's father used to be the driver of the Media Asia Group's boss. Seven years ago, on the night they met with the accident, they were driving this Maybach!"
Rainy night, elevated road, Maybach...the man forgotten by everyone and the missing father, the night that troubled Chu Zihang for seven years, reappeared in front of everyone's eyes!
Sure enough, this road is the non-existent No. 0 elevated road in this city. It opens at irregular intervals, and every time it opens, someone disappears from this world. Seven years ago, Chu Zihang’s father drove him here to meet Odin. His father disappeared and there has been no news of him since... Seven years have passed, and that Maybach is still running wildly on this road, like an illusory ghost!
"Those things!" Nono pointed at the dark shadows surrounding the Maybach. "Are those things the monsters we encountered at the Sacred Heart Hospital? Are they Deadpool?"
"Maybe it's more powerful than what we encountered in the hospital... This is the batch from seven years ago." Lu Mingfei suddenly paused after saying this.
If these things were phantoms from seven years ago, then who was knocking on the trunk of their car just now?
Those things that followed the Maybach were tearing at the car doors and glass. Even from the distance and the huge noise, Lu Mingfei and the others seemed to be able to hear the horrifying friction sounds.
"Chu Zihang..." Nuo Nuo stared at the taillights of the Maybach and shouted to the front seat, "Lu Mingfei, tell me what happened to Chu Zihang and his father seven years ago. The more details you know, the better!"
While driving, Lu Mingfei told Nuo Nuo what happened seven years ago, including what he heard from Chu Zihang and the clues he collected. He spoke very quickly. Apart from Chu Zihang and Chu Tianjiao himself, there was probably no one in the world who understood this matter more completely than he did.
Nuo Nuo's eyes were blank and he entered a state of deep profiling.
She imagined herself as a fifteen-year-old boy, sitting in the back seat of her father's car. Their relationship was not very good. Most of the time, the man in the front seat kept chattering on about irrelevant nonsense, while the boy kept his mouth shut, looking tiredly at the scenery outside the window.
In fact, there was no scenery to speak of, just heavy rain, endless heavy rain that seemed to be submerging the entire city.
At some point, they must have had an argument. The boy was fifteen years old and in his rebellious period. He didn't understand men, and he resented men for abandoning him and his mother. The resentment he had accumulated in his daily life completely erupted in this bad weather and this small, enclosed space... Raindrops hit the roof of the car, crackling like steel balls falling on the glass. The man driving gradually stopped chattering, his expression changed, and his lazy and loose face suddenly tensed up. He stared at the darkness ahead, and the shadows of the trees on both sides of the overpass swayed constantly, like dancing demons.
"Sizzle"... A sharp sound passed by, and the boy's expression was surprised and frightened. He wanted to stretch his head to see what hit the car, but the roar of the man in front stopped him in his seat.
They encountered something, a terrifying black shadow, which followed the vehicle closely. At this time, the speed of the vehicle should have soared to more than 200. At such a speed, no creature could follow the vehicle... unless it was a real monster!
There are indeed monsters in this world. Chu Zihang saw the true meaning of this world when he was fifteen years old!
The man spoke to the boy in a way that sounded like an explanation or a last will. The boy was confused, but he would later understand that they had met "God" on that day. It was also on that day that he lost the man who he hated and was nagging, whom he thought was his cowardly father.
Regret... Why did he regret it? Because he ran away alone? He left his father there, or because he didn't realize earlier that his father was not an ordinary person, and he had his own reasons for divorcing his mother?
Such an extremely contradictory and awkward person must be living a very tiring life, right?
Nuo Nuo woke up from the profile. She didn't know when Lu Mingfei had slowed down the car. The silver Porsche slowly stopped by the roadside.
"I remember now." Nuonuo said in a low voice.
"What?" Lu Mingfei asked after looking through the rearview mirror.
"I said, I remembered Chu Zihang." Nono said seriously, "He really exists. When the profile was completed, I suddenly remembered that the president of the Lionheart Society, his spirit is 'Jun Yan', he has a very arrogant personality, and is a rival of Caesar."
"Ah, I remember it too, Ye Sheng!" At the same time, Finkel also showed an expression of sudden enlightenment, "Shude Aki's boyfriend, the elite specialist of the executive department. He is actually two years younger than me. I remember that his original mentor was Professor Mans?"
"Yes, Ye Sheng is my direct senior brother." Nuonuo nodded.
Lu Mingfei showed a surprised expression. Nuonuo and Finkel remembered Chu Zihang and Ye Sheng. Maybe it was because they were in Nibelungen and Ye Sheng and Chu Zihang were also here, or maybe it was because Nuonuo used profiling to crack Odin's ability... In any case, it at least showed that Chu Zihang and Ye Sheng were not really wiped out from this world. If they were not dead, there would be a chance to rescue them.
The only pity is that no one here knows Chu Tianjiao.
"Why did the car stop?" Nuonuo asked.
"Because we lost them." Finkel said, pointing to the road ahead. It was dark ahead, hidden in the thick fog. No light source could be seen, and there was no sound of cars.
The only sounds between heaven and earth were the sound of rain and wind blowing the leaves, as if the Maybach had never appeared and what they had just seen was just an illusion.
"Maybach is a Maybach after all, a car worth nearly 10 million." Lu Mingfei shook his head and said, "The chassis of this Porsche is too low. It has been running on the flooded road. Sooner or later, the car's motor will have problems."
"It should not be far away." Nuonuo looked at the darkness ahead and said softly.
"What's not far away?" Lu Mingfei asked.
"Seven years ago, Chu Tianjiao fought there." Nuo Nuo said, "I saw it using the profiler. Although the Maybach ran fast, it was also at its maximum speed. They couldn't run endlessly. After comforting his son, Chu Tianjiao was about to start fighting."
"What exactly is that Maybach..." Lu Mingfei also followed Nuo Nuo's gaze. In the endless wind and rain, reason told him that the car was just an illusion left behind seven years ago.
But when the Maybach passed by him just now, he seemed to feel the real wind pressure. The whole Porsche sports car was slightly affected. He also heard the sound of the car and the water curtain splashed by the car on the road... Can an illusory shadow do all this?
Or was it that what I just saw and felt were just illusions, the result of my own psychological effects?
"You guys sit in the car first." After Lu Mingfei gave the instructions, he opened the car door and got out.
He went around to the back of the car and indeed found a scratch of neither deep nor shallow on the rear cover, as if it was caused by something sharp... The strange feeling he had just felt was indeed not an illusion. Those shadows chasing the Maybach were probably the real Deadpool.
So, the Maybach is real too?
Before Lu Mingfei could think about this bold guess, Eiry in the car suddenly turned her head and looked at him through the glass.
Lu Mingfei came to the back seat and asked through the glass: "Eri, what's wrong?"
"Sakura, those things are coming." Eri said.
Lu Mingfei was stunned. He knew what Eiry was referring to as “those things”.
Lu Mingfei looked towards the darkness on the roadside. The leaves were shaking violently, as if they were blown by the wind, or as if there were some man-eating beasts hiding inside.
"Brother, sister, those things are coming, get ready..." Lu Mingfei lowered his voice and said, "The battle is about to begin!"
Just as Lu Mingfei finished his words, a dark shadow climbed up from the edge of the viaduct and pounced on him fiercely. Lu Mingfei leaned back slightly, and the sharp claws brushed past the bangs on his forehead.
The next moment, Lu Mingfei grabbed the thing's body and pressed it to death on the hood of the car.
Chapter 983 Breaking through the siege
"It's Deadpool, the one we met in the hospital!" Lu Mingfei saw the appearance of the black shadow clearly and shouted to Nuo Nuo and the others.
The humanoid monster was struggling frantically on the back cover of the Porsche sports car with incredible strength. Its body was covered with iron-gray scales, and the expensive silver paint was rubbed off when it twisted. Its pair of golden pupils were looking at Lu Mingfei with bloodthirsty murderous intent.
A knife was handed out from the car. Lu Mingfei reached out to take it and cut the Deadpool's neck cleanly and neatly.
Black blood was about to spill, and Lu Mingfei threw the corpse away. It must be said that the vitality of this thing was really abnormal. Its throat was cut and its limbs were still twitching on the ground.
"We can't stay here forever." Lu Mingfei whispered, "More and more of these things will gather, and the elevated road will be blocked, making it difficult for the car to break through."
The shadows of the trees around were swaying, as if there were countless demons hiding behind them, frightened by Lu Mingfei's decisive killing methods and the strong smell of blood, and were just waiting for the moment when their prey showed a flaw so that they could swarm over it.
