Melodious singing could be heard in the car. The driver was wearing a pair of sunglasses and an ugly cowboy hat. From time to time, he would look at the desert scenery outside the window. This was Nevada, a terrible place.
This was a trip, but it was not a simple trip. In fact, it was more like an appointment.
It was the 24th day since Saber left Gotham. This time, he was not in a hurry. Instead, he drove across half of the United States and arrived here again. In the desert not far ahead, the shadow of a city could be seen.
Las Vegas, a place he had been to once. There were countless places in the western part of the United States that had deserts. This trip was so exhausting that his brain was about to explode.
"I say, you should go back when we reach Las Vegas. I'm here to do something. You go back and help me take care of Catherine. If I'm not around, who knows what that crazy girl will do. Just thinking about it gives me a headache."
Saber was actually having a headache now. He looked at the woman sitting in the passenger seat. She was wearing a very serious woman's suit. Her black hair was tied up and placed behind her head. Her whole face had a kind of seriousness that was unique to Asians. However, if one looked closely, they would realize that this woman's face was quite beautiful.
However, the cold aura around her made it difficult for people to get close to her. However, in the face of Saber's persuasion, she shook her head in a panic. The cold aura immediately dissipated.
"No, I can't! As my savior, if you want to go to a dangerous place, I have to follow! "
Her strange way of speaking, coupled with her extremely serious eyes, Saber could not bear to look at her directly. He rubbed his forehead.
"I say, Koyama, you don't have to do this. Saving you was just a matter of convenience. I never expected you to repay me. You are free. You can go wherever you want. You don't have to follow me to repay my kindness. This is not popular now."
Yes, sitting next to Saber was Yuriko Koyama, who had the control chip removed from the back of her head and replaced the life-support system in her body. The Japanese girl who once appeared as Stryker's combat weapon. Saber did not know what kind of education Yuriko Koyama received, but he saw the annoying stubbornness of the Japanese in this girl.
"No one forced me, I just wanted to do this … Stryker imprisoned me in a hell, and you saved me from hell. This is a kindness that I can't repay in my life. Please don't refuse my identity as a guard!"
Yuriko's head lowered, "Also, if you can, just call me Yuriko."
"Ahhh!"
Seber was about to go crazy, but in the end, he sighed in resignation.
"Well, then you can also call me Saber, Yuriko, but I really don't need a guard. You see, you are not my opponent yet. Just protect yourself."
"I'm … sorry to disappoint you!"
Yuriko's head hung lower, and it could be seen that the girl's heart was full of frustration.
Yuriko Koyama was not old, 25 years old, one year younger than Saber. The person who could be chosen by Stryker as a combat weapon was naturally not too weak. In fact, after Yuriko was injected with the mutant serum fragment from Logan by her crazy father, she had a strong self-healing ability at the cost of destroying her body. Later, Stryker injected adamantium into her arms.
She wasn't a congenital mutant. She was the same as Wade Wilson, an acquired mutant ability user. As someone who had practiced Japanese ninjutsu, jutsu, and martial arts since young, she had a self-healing ability and Adamantium claws. Her destructive power could be said to be very strong.
She had a fight with Saber. She was far inferior to Saber in strength, but her agility and flexibility almost broke through the sky. It was definitely more than enough to be used as a guard.
But Saber didn't like the feeling of being protected. He didn't need to be protected himself.
"Fasten your seat belt, Yuriko, I'm going to speed up."
After that, Saber slammed on the accelerator, and the off-road vehicle made a beast-like roar, speeding all the way in the direction of Las Vegas. He didn't have to go to Las Vegas, but after entering the western United States, an awkward question was placed in front of Saber. He asked more than 200 people along the way, and no one knew where the damn "Crossing the Border" bar was. He could only go to a particularly crowded casino to try his luck.
At the same time, in the crisscrossed streets of Las Vegas, a beautiful woman in a hurry walked on the street with a pale face. She was carrying a small black bag, and her long chestnut hair with a hint of golden luster swayed behind her. She had big eyes, a high nose, a slender waist, long legs, and wearing high heels. She walked all the way, attracting the attention of men on the street.
But if you look closely, the beautiful woman's hand has been covering her waist, and at the moment of occasional deviation, you can see a small spot on the white shirt she was wearing that was completely soaked in blood.
She was injured, and it was very serious.
Selena walked into the elevator of the hotel she rented with difficulty. After entering the room, she couldn't hold on any longer. Her legs gave way and she knelt on the ground. The small bag in her hand also spun out, and the things inside scattered everywhere.
There was a set of black tights, a mask that covered his eyes, a leather whip with barbs, and an exquisite box. There was no need to look at it to know that there were priceless items inside.
That was the good thing Selena finally got her hands on after staying in Las Vegas for three months. It was a priceless gem, one of the best "trophies" she had obtained in her career.
Miss Thief Master has been living a carefree life for the past few years. She only went to school in New York for half a year before she felt disgusted. So, she went back to her old job and did business without any capital. She planned several successful raids in New York, which made her famous in the industry. She couldn't help but feel a little complacent. But this time, she stumbled in Las Vegas.
The gem was the family heirloom of the local mafia family. In order to get it, she didn't hesitate to join the mafia. But when she finally got it, she was stopped. In the end, she escaped with her life thanks to her good luck and years of training. Even so, the feeling of weakness continued to eat away at her will.
"D * mn it, I don't know if those bastards smeared poison on their daggers … Oh God, why am I getting more and more dizzy?"
She crawled to the bed with difficulty and leaned on it, panting. She reached out and took the black box. She opened it and looked at the diamond that was the size of a baby's fist in the black velvet. Her eyes were narrowed with fascination, and she looked like a greedy cat.
She held the diamond in her hand, and it was as if she was guarding heaven.
But when she took the diamond out, she saw a shiny thing at the bottom of the diamond.
A tracker … Selena's face immediately turned pale.
"It's over … It's over this time."
"Bang!"
The door in front of her was violently smashed open, and a few cold-looking big men walked in. Without saying a word, they put a black hood on Selena's head, who was unable to resist at all. They cleaned up everything around her, and finally carried the unconscious Miss Thief Master out of the room.
If she wasn't lucky enough, or if there were no accidents, she might really be dead.
At this time, Saber's car had just entered the parking lot of Las Vegas. He saw a guy with a strange hat and a cane leaning on the side, waving at him.
The guy's cane had a large gemstone on it. It looked expensive, but Saber knew that it must be fake.
"Hey, I say, are you here to welcome me?"
He rolled down the window and looked at the guy in front of him who had pulled the brim of his hat very low. The hair sticking out of the brim of his hat was curled, and only a chin that would make young girls scream was revealed. After hearing the voice, he looked up and saw a pair of gentle blue eyes.
"No, I'm here to pick up a friend."
The guy waved the cane in his hand and looked at Saber with a smile. Then, he said seriously, "Are you my friend, Saber?"
"Remy Leber, I'm glad to see that you're still alive. This is the only good news in the past half a month!"
Saber opened the car door and gave the guy in front of him a hug.
"How did you know I was coming?"
Remy snapped his fingers, and a silver-white lighter floated out from Saber's inner pocket. It emitted a purple light and jumped in his palm.
"I'm glad you didn't throw it away. Let's go, I'll treat you to a meal … Wow, who is this lady? Aren't you going to introduce her to me? "
When Remy saw Yuriko getting out of the car, his eyes lit up. He walked over and grabbed her hand to give her a gentle kiss. However, the next moment, five cold metal nails clamped down on his neck. The cold threat made Remy raise his hands immediately. Saber's belated warning came.
"Oh, don't get too close to Yuriko. She doesn't like frivolous playboys like you."
"Ah, Yuriko. What a gentle name."
Remy moved his body bit by bit and removed his neck from Yuriko's metal claws. He touched his neck with lingering fear and watched as the long silver nails retracted back into Yuriko's fingers. He glanced at Saber.
"Your date is really hot … Oh, by the way, do you want to go eat? Or do you want me to show you around the Evil City? A friendly reminder: there's a lot of fighting going on in the city over the next few days. There's a lot of drama to watch. "
Saber picked up a large travel bag from the trunk and carried it on his back. He put his arm around Remy's shoulder and lowered his voice.
"Listen to me, I'm not here to have fun. You've been here for a long time. Have you heard of a bar called 'Beyond the Line'? I heard that it's on the edge of the desert, but I couldn't find it even after searching for a few days. Maybe you can help me. "
Remy swung his cane around again.
"I know all the bars in Las Vegas, big and small. But 'Beyond the Line'? What kind of name is that? Are you sure it's here?"
"I'm not sure! But I'm sure it's near the desert in the southwest. "
Seiber sighed helplessly. The saber-toothed tiger had only given him this name, and there was no other information about it. He didn't know what to do now. Remy nodded.
"Then let's go eat first. I'll show you around my friends. They're all locals, so they might know."
"Okay."
Saber could only do so. In this unfamiliar place, he could only rely on Remy to find a bar that no one knew about. In fact, Remy's appearance was a pleasant surprise. It saved Saber a lot of trouble.
But just as they were walking to a restaurant near the parking lot, Saber's phone suddenly rang. He picked it up and saw a group message.
"Ding! Friends, did you miss me?"
Saber raised an eyebrow at this opening.
"If you've received this message, it means that I'm about to die or have already died. But you don't have to feel sad for me. Sacrificing yourself for the things you like to do is a less detestable ending. As a guy who aspires to become a godly thief, I'm really glad to have friends like you. Finally, I won't be lonely like that old man."
"What was I going to say? Oh, right, I'm about to die. I don't know where I'll die, but I modified my phone so you can help me collect my body. I don't want to die in a place too far away from home. Even if I hate Gotham so much, I still hope that I can be buried in the place where I was born.
"But if you're not busy and close to me … Then please don't look at the message!!! Come and save me!!! " Sender: "Little Wild Cat" Selena Kyle. "
"Uh."
Saber silently put away his phone. He looked around at the surrounding buildings and said to Remy, "I might have to delay dinner for a while. I have to save someone."
"Who?"
"A, uh … disobedient little wild cat."
