The X3 was on a rampage on the road, like a steel behemoth that was out of control.
Not only had Rabbit fastened her seat belt, but she was also holding on to the front handrail of the roof. At the same time, she pressed her back against the seat, feeling like she was riding a roller coaster in an amusement park.
Looking at the walls around her constantly spinning, getting closer and farther away, Rabbit, who had never gotten carsick before, could not help but feel her stomach churning. She had no idea how Zhang Heng could maintain driving in such a state, let alone watch out for the thing that was chasing after them relentlessly.
Even though Zhang Heng had used all his driving skills, the distance between the X3 and the Sphinx was still getting closer.
This was never a fair competition. After the Sphinx entered flight mode, not only did its speed increase significantly, but it also had the advantage in the air. Although Zhang Heng could rely on the nearby buildings to intercept the Sphinx, it was impossible for him to widen the gap between them in this way.
In the end, the distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer.
Rabbit felt that she could hear the sound of the Sphinx's wings flapping.
Although Zhang Heng dodged the Sphinx's first attack with a drift, the Sphinx accelerated horizontally and landed on the passenger's window.
The human face was pressed against the glass, and the beautiful but lifeless eyes stared at Rabbit, making the latter feel like he was in a horror movie.
The Sphinx raised its claws and slapped the glass gently, but the sturdy glass was already full of cracks.
Rabbit let out a scream, trying to unfasten her seat belt and escape to the back of the car. But then she heard Zhang Heng's voice.
"Don't move."
As Zhang Heng spoke, he turned the steering wheel to the right, and the X3 crashed directly into a nearby wall. However, just as the front of the X3 was about to make contact with the wall, Zhang Heng pulled the steering wheel back. In the end, the distance between the Sphinx and the wall was less than two centimeters.
The Sphinx, caught in the middle, suffered the same fate as the rearview mirror. It was about to smash the glass to attack Rabbit inside, but before it could fly away, it was caught by the Sphinx and slammed into the wall. Sparks flew as the Sphinx's wings scraped against the brick wall, confirming Zhang Heng's previous guess.
Rabbit watched the Sphinx's figure roll to the back and finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Did we kill it?" she asked Zhang Heng.
"I don't think so." Zhang Heng replied while holding the steering wheel. The Sphinx reacted quickly at the critical moment, wrapping its body with its wings. Zhang Heng estimated that it should be fine. Not long after, the scene in the rearview mirror proved Zhang Heng's inference right. He saw the Sphinx standing up from the ground, but its left front leg seemed to be injured. It looked like it was limping, but it did not affect its flying ability.
The Sphinx spread its wings again and soon caught up.
To make matters worse, the window of the passenger seat had been completely shattered. The oncoming wind blew up Rabbit's fringe, making her nervous again.
"What should we do?"
"Don't worry, just hold on a little longer, we're almost there." Zhang Heng looked at the watch on his hand. Although he had shortened the preparation time from seven minutes to five minutes, he and Rabbit still came back 20 seconds earlier than scheduled.
Zhang Heng could only pray that Shen Xixi was ready. It didn't take long for the Sphinx to land on the roof of the car again. To prevent the Sphinx from getting in through the broken window, Zhang Heng had to stick close to the wall. So, the Sphinx chose to enter through the driver's window.
Zhang Heng used the same trick and quickly turned around, leaning against the wall on the other side. This time, because the distance was longer, the Sphinx had enough time to react. It dodged in advance and did not turn into a roujiamo again.
After that, the Sphinx decided to break through the rear window, probably thinking that it would be difficult for Zhang Heng to interfere with it again. The next moment, the X3 suddenly swung its tail, and the Sphinx's body came into close contact with the wall again.
Seizing this rare opportunity, Zhang Heng stepped on the accelerator and drove the X3 in the direction where Shen Xixi and the others were. At the same time, he turned on the walkie-talkie. "We're almost there. I hope you're ready."
"Roger that. Do you have a way to reduce that thing's flying altitude?" Shen Xixi asked.
"That's easy." Seeing that they had arrived at their destination, Zhang Heng stepped on the brake and turned the steering wheel to park the X3 on the side of the road.
After that, a black shadow fell from the air and went straight to the driver's window.
Zhang Heng's expression remained unchanged as he watched the Sphinx pounce on him. However, before it could break the window, something hit it. At the same time, a blue electric current pulsed on the surface of its body. It was two electrodes that were pushed out of the barrel by the high-pressure nitrogen in the magazine, accurately hitting the Sphinx's body.
At the same time, the battery in the gun began to release high voltage through the insulated copper wire. Everyone became nervous. Earlier, anesthetics and fishing nets didn't work, and the scalpel couldn't break through the Sphinx's defense. It made them wonder if they could take it down.
Fortunately, the stun gun worked in the end. The Sphinx stopped moving, as if its power had been suddenly cut off. It fell out of the window and lay motionless.
Shen Xixi breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the Sphinx. Although Zhang Heng had not told her about the artificial intelligence robot's conjecture, Shen Xixi immediately thought of this possibility when he suggested using the taser gun.
Rabbit got out of the car and watched 1810 and the others tie up the "unconscious" Sphinx on the ground with a chain. She then announced that tonight's operation was a success.
"So, the recent series of events is not a supernatural event at all?" Rabbit wondered.
"No," Shen Xixi shook her head. "Although its behavior logic is very ordinary, the current level of technology can't make a robot with such a high degree of simulation."
"So, Sister Xixi, do you think there's someone behind it?"
"That's for sure. I just don't know if it's a player or something else." Although the Sphinx was caught, Shen Xixi still frowned.
"Actually, if you think about it carefully, this thing didn't do anything too outrageous other than asking people to play riddles with it in the middle of the night."
"That's what worries me the most. This thing is probably just a work of practice. We don't know if that guy will come up with other works."
