The detective said quietly.

Sen Lu's eyes were still slightly red. Li Anxin chuckled with an apologetic look on her face:

"Sorry, sorry, I wasted your time. Let's run now."

Wen Xiaotong then said a few sarcastic words, then took out a capsule from her pocket and threw it on the ground. A classic Ford Mustang from the 1960s appeared out of thin air. The girl opened the door, sat in the driver's seat, and started the antique.

The headlights of the Ford Mustang came on as the roar of the engine echoed through the heavy rain.

"Are you kidding? How can this old car run! It should be parked in my grandfather's abandoned garage!" said the detective.

"Damn, are you kidding me? This car is so classic, you know? And don't you see it's only a few years old? It's good to have a four-wheeler. Howard, you country bumpkin, do you like it?"

The detective looked at the black-clad men rushing towards him from the far end of the city, swallowed his saliva, and hurriedly opened the car door and got in, muttering:

"It's as if you, a person from a new world, know a lot about this."

Wen Xiaotong didn't bother to pay attention to him. After everyone got in the car, he accelerated and drove the antique car towards the edge of the city in the pouring rain...

Chapter 408: Family Marriage

They soon left the men in black far behind, and no one in black caught up with them until late at night. They didn't know how far they had driven, all the way out of the old town, until they arrived in the suburbs dozens of kilometers away from London.

Shadows covered the earth, the moon was hidden in the clouds, and the headlights of the Ford Mustang dispelled the darkness, like a cheetah moving through the wilderness, pursuing its destination.

Empty countryside kept passing by outside the window, with a few lonely houses standing occasionally, forming a sharp contrast with the city on the horizon with skyscrapers everywhere. Even in the virtual world, the "freedom" away from the hustle and bustle of the world still allowed everyone to relax their tense nerves.

Not long after, the vehicle stopped moving and gradually came to a stop.

Wen Xiaotong opened the car door and got out with a puzzled look on her face.

"What's the matter?" asked the detective.

"I don't know, something seems to have happened to this old car, has it broken down?"

The girl lay under the car and muttered.

"Hurry up, I'm going to go out for some fresh air." The detective stretched his body, glanced at the two girls sleeping in the back seat of the car, and knocked on the window.

"Wake up, it's time..."

"Shh, I'm awake. Let my sister sleep a little longer. If there is any emergency, I will wake her up."

"That's okay too."

The detective said this and walked away.

The clouds gradually dispersed, the moonlight shone on the earth, stars appeared on the deep lake, and above the night sky, the stars were shining brightly. A winding river of stars spread across the entire sky. No one knew how long the river was and where it led to.

Looking at this night scene, Sen Lu's eyes moved slightly, and the girl in his arms murmured a few times. She leaned down and kissed her forehead, burying her little face in her arms:

"It's okay, sister, go back to sleep. I'll wake you up if there's any danger."

"Um...ok."

The pink-haired girl was sleepy at the moment, her hair was disheveled on her face, leaving several marks on her tender face. Because of the cold, she kept mumbling and rubbed her face into Senlu's warm arms again.

Looking at the beautiful sleeping girl, Mori Lu smiled.

My sister has always been very timid. She is curious about the outside world but also instinctively wary. She only lets down her guard when others are around her and rely on her.

The night was long, and after who knows how long, Wen Xiaotong kicked the front wheel of the car while cursing:

"No, this metal part seems to be broken. Where can I get this thing now? This is the end. I can't get it away on foot."

"Who on earth spread the news that there is a loophole in Birmingham that can be used to leave here? It will take at least two days to drive from here to Birmingham, and it will take an eternity to walk there..."

"There's a small town nearby, and some houses still have their lights on. We should be able to find a repair shop there." The detective came back at some point and suddenly said.

"Hmm? Brother, we are all wanted by that lunatic, what do you think..."

"I have never been wanted. Don't talk nonsense. Only you and them are wanted, Vanessa. I just accompanied you and them to mess around with those men in black. I guess Gourmet doesn't even know that there is someone with you."

Wen Xiaotong was suddenly speechless.

"Should I praise you again?"

"That's not necessary. Chinese people value favors the most. You are also half Chinese. If I really encounter danger, I will run faster than anyone else. Don't worry."

"Oh, it seems there is no other way." Wen Xiaotong sighed.

Sen Lu glanced at the two of them:

"You guys look a lot more familiar than last time?"

Wen Xiaotong and the detective suddenly made a sound of "tsk tsk" at the same time.

Mori Lu: “???”

"This is what I told you last time before you came in here that I had something to take care of."

"You speak first and I speak first? Howard."

The detective sighed helplessly:

"Family marriage is complicated. Where do I start?"

"Actually, Howard is not my real name. The original owner of this body was an extremely bad and dissolute guy. He did all kinds of shameless things. I am just an ordinary person. I met him in a dungeon. To make a long story short, he tried to kill me, but I awakened my talent when I was on the verge of death, and I killed him and transferred my soul to occupy his body."

"The Brown family is a famous giant family in the entire horror world. It was originally formed by the merger of three large groups: Pangu Technology, Northern Heavy Industries, and Western European Freight. The actual person in power became the head of the Brown family during the long years of internal struggle."

"This giant family business covers a wide range, from military heavy industry, medical research to cargo consignment. It is present in almost any field you can think of. Maybe you have never heard of its name before, but I want to tell you that your clothes and almost all your daily necessities are inseparable from its shadow."

"To put it in a more impressive way, the fact that any corner of the horror world can be connected using communication tools is all thanks to their independently developed 'Polaris' satellite network."

"This giant family has almost monopolized everything in the Thorn Layer. It has only extended its hands to the Mechanical Layer in recent years. After establishing a branch in Mirror City, it set its sights on District 13 and sent this guy here."

"The eldest son of the Brown family has been replaced without anyone noticing, and the family members are completely unaware of this. It is impossible to get rid of this behemoth. I can only play along with them."

"so?"

"That damn old guy is so old that he doesn't even have the keen ability to judge things anymore, yet he actually wants to rely on the Brown family to soar to the sky. Haha, if such a guy is really on the list, it's only a matter of time before he is controlled and becomes their puppet." Wen Xiaotong snorted coldly.

"I can't watch the Black Rose Society's efforts in District 13 become someone else's dowry, but my current strength is far from enough."

“Only when you are strong enough will you not be manipulated by others.”

The detective spread his hands helplessly:

"My father taught me how to be a gentleman since I was a child. It is ungentlemanly to force a lady to do something she doesn't want to do."

"I will find a way to end this family marriage, provided that I become the head of the family."

"Haha, it's easy to talk when you're standing. How many people in the family are eyeing your position? Once you openly express your intention to terminate this marriage, they will frantically impeach you for hindering the development of the family. In a place like that, stepping down is no different from death."

"So this has made me more determined to participate in this competition and make those guys shut up."

"Not only do I want to win, I want to win beautifully, using my status as the first heir of the Brown family to win!"

"I want to get the clues about the sequence and prove my worth to my family and the world!"

"I'll let everyone know my name."

Chapter 409 "The Age of Stall" New Crisis!

"Okay, okay, Howard, keep going. I believe you can do it." Wen Xiaotong gave a thumbs up.

"Don't worry about the family's affairs. At least they won't make any moves before the All-Star Sequence Competition is over," said the detective.

"That would be best." Wen Xiaotong looked at the two girls snuggling together with a slightly indifferent look.

"so good."

"Ok?"

"I think it's great for them to be like this. In this world full of dangers, they can keep each other company. No matter what they do, they have someone to look after them. They can always have someone to lean on for support."

"You can bet everything on another person, leaving no room for compromise..."

"Even if you lose the bet, there will be someone to fall into the abyss with you."

"Well, it's pretty good."

"Once upon a time, I also envied such pure feelings."

"And now, with such a pure example of love in front of me, I can hardly believe it. I can't believe it's real."

"People change so quickly. In a flash, they are no longer the children who were fascinated by the story of Snow White and Prince Charming. Instead, they think about the dark background behind it."

The detective had her hair tied up and spread out behind her back, her tone casual yet serious.

Wen Xiaotong nodded ignorantly, pondering the meaning of the young man's words.

After a while, the detective stood up, put on his windbreaker and walked towards the town.

"Okay, if I don't come out in ten minutes, you can go away and leave me alone."

"Howard, are you trying to look cool by pretending to be so rude and saying something like that?"

"Hahahahaha."

Ten minutes passed in the blink of an eye.

The detective showed no sign of coming out.

The town was deathly silent.

Wen Xiaotong, Senlu: "......"

Two girls: “6.”

Of course, they couldn't just abandon their companions here, so after waking up Li Anxin, the group went into the town.

The town was desolate and the atmosphere was extremely strange.

As soon as they entered the town, they felt several unfriendly gazes falling on them.

Senlu instantly locked onto one of the windows, and saw a pale-skinned little girl behind the window with most of her body hidden in the low curtain. Her head was blocked, so her face could not be seen clearly.

"Ok?"

Senlu was confused, but she clearly felt the guy's eyes on her.

There is nothing wrong with this feeling of being stared at.

Sen Lu snorted coldly, ignored the little girl, and continued to walk forward with Li Anxin.

Under the cover of night, the body of the little girl behind the second-floor window followed the girls on the street and turned strangely until the girls were out of her sight. Her whole body twitched twice, countless cracks appeared on the surface of her skin, and her eyeballs suddenly opened...

As the girls went deeper, Li Anxin felt more and more uncomfortable. There was a strange whispering sound echoing in her ears. The feeling was very strange, as if countless invisible tentacles stretched out from the void, constantly wriggling and circling around her ears.

"join in......"

"join in......"

Wow...

Wow...

The sound of waves hitting the rocks is faintly discernible.

That's the sound of the 'wave'.

This era has long been submerged under the wave, and every newborn should have strong resistance to wave pollution, but now this voice has appeared again.

This means that the pollution level of the waves in this town is very high and it is classified as a heavily polluted area.

"Sister, are you okay?"

"My ears feel uncomfortable, my head is buzzing, and I feel dizzy." Li Anxin tried hard to overcome the uncomfortable feeling, but her face was still pale.

"Damn, where is that guy? The situation is getting worse and worse. Should I just knock on the door and ask?" Wen Xiaotong said.

"The lights in this house seem to be still on. Let's go in and take a look. We can't give up the chance to find that guy." Sen Lu sighed and then tightened his weapon in his hand. "Sister, follow me closely later."

"Let's go."

Not far from the three girls, there was a light on the second floor of a house. The aroma of food wafted out of the house, and the warm yellow light made the atmosphere seem particularly ominous.

"Is anyone there?" Wen Xiaotong knocked on the door.

The door was not locked, and it opened automatically after she knocked twice.

The atmosphere in the room was too weird.
