In the vast arid grassland, the straight road extends to the end of the sky, giving a feeling of desolation and loneliness.
There were neither tall shade trees nor rolling mountains on the grassland. The hot wind blew and the grass balls rolled over the road.
The rough beauty of the overgrown weeds, the cracked road, and the setting sun gradually gives people a different kind of spiritual impact. It is a kind of doomsday-like desolation and loneliness.
When Russell opened his eyes, he found himself on the side of the road, alone.
The good news is that he still has a car. The bad news is that his gray N-hand car broke down.
Russell did not rush to repair the car, opened the suitcase he carried with him, and searched for clues to confirm his identity. Two daily changes of clothes, nothing special, but he found a black priest's robe.
(一`??一)
Russell didn't say much. The identity assigned by the system suited his compassionate temperament. Without thinking, he immediately put on the priest's robe.
From now on he was a clergyman.
Not to mention, after putting on the clergyman's clothes, Russell felt that he looked more handsome in the mirror, and even his temperament had been sublimated.
Next, he found a driver's license with a handsome photo and a transfer order.
In this world, he is indeed a priest, following the arrangements of the church and being transferred from a small town church to the Los Angeles headquarters.
With an identity but no matching memory, Russell didn't understand what the Los Angeles headquarters represented and decided to go to the destination first.
Having been through so many worlds, he is considered an experienced veteran and knows that the most likely location to trigger world missions is in Los Angeles.
Pulling out maps, newspapers and other objects in the car, he sorted out clues and gradually determined the time and place of his world.
In 2000, the United States was located roughly at the border of Texas and New Mexico.
The road in front of him is the famous Route 66, the mother highway of the American imperialists!
During the period when car culture was rising and becoming more popular, the US imperialist government built many highways, and Route 66 was just a 'nobody'.
Compared with the picturesque Route 1 and the loneliest Route 50, Route 66 is characterized by its length. It traverses from Chicago to Los Angeles, spanning eight states, three time zones, and a total length of more than 3,900 kilometers.
It became great because of the times. During the Great Depression of the American Empire, as the main channel for east-west communication, this highway provided countless jobs and greatly helped the economic recovery of many areas along the way. Many people relied on the road. Business survived the Great Depression.
Later, as closed and more efficient interstate highways were rolled out across the United States, the original highway system represented by Route 66 gradually lost its value as a highway itself. The towns along the way were eclipsed, and the once-famous businesses disappeared one after another. The closure has left Route 66 desolate.
As a transportation artery, Route 66 is no longer useful, but its sentiments have always been there, and its remaining heat is still being used as a tourist route.
Countless tourists travel along this road every year to enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way. At the same time, it is a favorite among motorcyclists and many truck drivers also miss it.
Russell estimated that the reason for his appearance here was that besides reporting to the headquarters, the other reason was to travel.
"Single self-driving travel, either single, or having fun along the way..."
Russell joked, put on the cross necklace, and opened the hood to check why the car broke down.
The oil pump is broken!
Whether the problem was big or small, Russell took out a hammer from the trunk and started banging on it.
"Didi————"
In the same lane, a white RV stopped. A white-bearded man wearing glasses patted the window: "Hi, Father, do you need help?"
【Ding】
[The host contacts the plot character Jacob Fuller and triggers the lottery. Do you want to draw now? 】
Russell raised his brows and looked at Jacob, who had a professor's face: "I'm in a bit of trouble. My car is totaled. Can you give me a ride?"
"Where are you going?"
"I'm going to Los Angeles!"
"Oh, you're in luck, I'm going to Las Vegas." Jacob glanced at Russell's priest's robe: "Get in the car, I can take you to Las Vegas, and the rest of the journey is It’s on your own.”
Russell held the cross and blessed with a serious face: "The Lord will bless you!"
"Come on, since my wife died, I no longer believe in God." Jacob said angrily.
“Lost man, you have a misunderstanding about the Lord.”
"Haha, don't do this with me. I used to be a priest. I have been doing this for more than 20 years. I am better at deceiving people than you!"
Russell: "..."
You are the boss and everything you say is right!
Less than 20 minutes after becoming a priest, Russell decisively shut up in front of the elders, carried his suitcase and got into the car, and found that there was a man and a woman in the car, both about seventeen or eighteen years old.
The girl has blond hair and a lot of freckles on her face. She is not very beautiful, but she can be considered youthful and lively.
As for the boy... he had black hair, black eyes, yellow skin, and was still a little chubby. This made Russell very surprised. Don't say that this is a family, otherwise Jacob would be in too much trouble.
After several people introduced each other and got to know each other, Russell learned that they were indeed a family, but Jacob was not a tragedy. As a white man, he had a yellow son because his deceased wife was Chinese.
Father Jacob Fuller, daughter Kate, and son Scott traveled to Las Vegas as a family of three.
"Russell, are you really a priest?"
Perhaps because of his skin color, Scott had a good first impression of Russell and pulled him to ask various questions.
"Why do you ask, don't I look the same?"
Scott and Kate shook their heads together, and Scott said: "My father is a priest, and most of his friends are also priests. You really are nothing like that."
"It's just different!"
Russell turned on the deception mode: "You two have good vision, so I will tell the truth. I am a special combatant affiliated with the church's secret department. I am responsible for exorcising demons and exorcising spirits. I am fighting on the front line against the devil."
Kate rolled her eyes and didn't want to speak, but Scott was very interested. Boys at this age like to fantasize, so even though he knew Russell was fooling him, his interest remained undiminished.
"Russell, do you have mysterious powers? How does your secret department usually eliminate demons? Do you use the Bible and the cross, or do you use superpowers?"
Russell thought for a moment and said bluntly: "Under normal circumstances, we would call 911!"
Scott:￣△￣
"Hahaha, just kidding, how could I call 911? I'm a clergyman, God's walker on earth."
"Then...how do you get rid of the devil?"
"Use the power of science!"
