They drove forward at a speed of 180 miles for about ten minutes. Including the distance traveled before encountering the ice fog, they had traveled at least 60 kilometers. Why were they still spinning around at the same point?
"What on earth is this woman...?" Luo Xia asked tremblingly.
"I don't know, get off the car."
The muscular Viper looked like a child's toy under Lu Li's control. The brake pads made a screeching sound as its speed dropped sharply.
"Are you going to kill her?"
"It always feels like it won't work. After all, even a high-speed sports car couldn't crush this woman to death."
When the time came to take action, the nameless rage in Rorschach's heart was instantly extinguished, and he began to hesitate again.
"Let's take a look first and then talk."
Lu Li spoke concisely, then opened the door and walked out of the driver's seat.
Not far away, after seeing the exaggerated sports car, the woman in a nightgown had her face deformed by the overwhelming emotional impact.
Surprise, relief, excitement…
The light beam emitted by the snake-eye lamp was particularly warm in her eyes, dispelling the coldness of early spring and making her feel extremely at ease.
"Hello, ma'am."
"may I help you?"
Lu Li walked over with a smile.
Wearing a long black trench coat, a red bow tie, trousers of the same color, and a wolf-head cane in his hand, he looks like an old-fashioned gentleman from the last century.
"There is a rest stop twenty kilometers ahead. You can send me there..."
"Sorry, the sports car can only seat two people." Lu Li looked apologetic.
Rorschach, who was standing aside, had a look of horror on his face. He clearly remembered that during the last conversation, the woman was also dressed like this and said the same thing.
At this time, Lu Li took off his windbreaker, handed it over, and said enthusiastically, "By the way, how did you get here, and where are your fellow travelers?"
"He ran away and I was left alone."
Sobs arose.
The woman in the pajamas put on a windbreaker. After her body warmed up, she slowly said: "My name is Darlene, a publishing editor..."
Hearing this, the smile on Lu Li's face froze and he said calmly: "Wait a minute, what's your name?"
"Darlene, you work for Arcane Press. You should have heard of Sutter Kane. I am his editor."
Having said this, a smile appeared on the woman's face, as if she was proud of her work.
Hearing this, Luo Xia, who had been silent all this time, couldn't hold it back. First he turned his head and glanced at Lu Li, and then blurted out: "That guy who writes horror trash?"
While eating at Burger King, Lu Li asked him many times if he had seen The Terror of Sat Kane, so Rorschach was quite impressed by this name.
Out of politeness and the current situation, Darlene, whose faith was tainted, just responded: "Maybe he's too esoteric for you."
"really."
Lu Li nodded, the smile on his face became more sincere, and echoed: "I have heard of him. He is a great writer of this century and has many book fans."
Then, under Ms. Darling's astonished eyes, he kindly pulled out the Sword of Sadhu.
In silence.
A flash of bright color flashed across the air.
Immediately afterwards, a headless corpse knelt on the ground, and scarlet blood flowed along the gap to the roadside.
Due to the cold weather, you can even see heat rising from the body.
"Let's go, she's dead, let's continue on our way."
Lu Li picked up the blood-stained windbreaker, wiped the blade of his sword, then turned around and walked towards the sports car with the lights on.
"Oh...oh, here it comes!"
Luo Xia was restrained and followed him belatedly. During the whole process, he didn't even dare to look back, for fear that he wouldn't be able to bear it and would vomit his dinner.
After a while.
The Viper whizzed by, even jolting a bit as it passed through a certain area.
In the driver's seat, Lu Li was puffing away at a cigarette with a cigarette in his mouth. His expression was calm, as if he had done something trivial not long ago.
This scene, in Rorschach's eyes, seemed extremely weird——
It would be a pity for a man with such superb acting skills not to become an actor. One moment he is smiling, and the next moment he is drawing a knife to kill someone without any sense of disobedience.
"Help!"
"it's here!"
A familiar voice came from the front.
The blond woman appeared again. She seemed to be frozen. When she saw a car passing by, she immediately raised her hands and waved wildly, her figure becoming more and more uneven.
Seeing this, Lu Li put out his cigarette butt, slowed down the car, and slowly approached.
"Hello, you look like you need help."
The windows are down.
Lu Li handed over a cheese and bacon Whopper that was packed away from the restaurant, with a sincere smile on his face.
"Thanks."
Darlene took the burger and looked inside the car. When she saw someone sitting in the passenger seat, she instantly became disappointed.
"Sir, can you take me to the nearest rest stop? My companion left alone..."
The words were pleading.
Uncharacteristically, Lu Li readily agreed to the other party's request: "If you don't mind, you can squeeze in with my friends."
Rorschach's expression was frozen.
After a few seconds, he finally reacted and said instinctively: "I refuse."
His eyes met Darlene who was about to cry, her resolve not diminishing at all.
Are you kidding me?
It's already scary to sit in the same car with an evil-looking woman, let alone sit in the same seat. I'm afraid I don't want to live long!
"He's joking, come on up, it's cold outside."
Lu Li ignored Luo Xia's sad and frightened eyes and extended the invitation again.
One minute later.
The two-seater sports car set off smoothly.
Fortunately, there have been no strange incidents since then.
The reason is probably because they brought the source of the mystery, a female editor who called herself Darlene.
At this moment, she was sitting on Rorschach's lap, with an embarrassed expression and slightly red cheeks.
As for Rorschach, his face was pale and he was so frightened that he had nowhere to put his hands. It was not until he touched the pistol with the slide removed that he breathed a sigh of relief.
However, I still didn’t dare to move.
"Since there are no extra seat belts, let's make do with the simplicity."
At this time, Lu Li's demon-like voice came:
"First hold on to Ms. Darlene's waist to prevent her from speeding up and slowing down and flying out through the windshield."
"When the time comes, we'll have to go back to square one and do it all over again."
Hearing this, Darlene's eyes were full of innocence and she seemed not to understand what the last sentence meant.
"..."
Seeing that there was no way to escape, Rorschach took a long breath and murmured for a while, as if he was performing self-hypnosis.
Then, a pair of hands gently placed on the waist of the female devil. If you observe carefully, it is not difficult to find that they are shaking crazily.
There is no charm, no beauty. Faced with a nightgown girl who can be resurrected indefinitely and keeps appearing on the midnight highway, who dares to think wrong.
at the same time.
A guess emerged in Lu Li's mind. He held the steering wheel and said calmly:
"Ma'am, have you ever learned acrobatics?"
"It's the kind of acrobatics where the head and limbs can be turned over at weird angles."
"To be honest, I have a friend named Sam Neill who once said that he saw this kind of thing with his own eyes, and by the way, it was also on the road late at night."
