"Are you serious? Is this the 'sincerity' you want? "
Seiber looked at the ticket in his hand a few times awkwardly before looking up at the "serious" Selina. It had already been three days, and Miss Master Thief had finally gotten rid of her daily IV drip. She still had a few funny bandages on her face, and she wore pajamas with black cats printed all over them. She sat cross-legged on the sofa, watching a boring soap opera while eating fruits from the plate on her lap.
Hearing Saber's question, Selena laughed proudly.
"This is the ticket for Hot Johnny's performance. I bought it ten days in advance and it's sold out now. If you accompany me to his performance, I'll take you to the Crossing Lines Bar."
Seber scratched his chin with a pained expression.
"Hot Johnny? What kind of name is that? It sounds like a coquettish stripper. "
"Wow, are you serious? You don't even know Hot Johnny? "
Selena widened her eyes as if she was looking at an alien. With two nuts in her mouth, she looked like a squirrel. "Are you still living in the last century?"
"I say, Selena, your sense of beauty is a big problem!"
Saber put the ticket on the table in disdain. He crossed his legs and raised his hands. "I think you should cherish this' exchange 'and let me help you get a gem instead of wasting it on a stupid performance."
"I'll get the gem myself. But right now, I feel like I'm watching an acrobatic performance with someone. Say it, Saber, a man should be straightforward."
Selina put the fruit platter aside with some effort. She stuck out two fingers and waved them in front of her eyes. "Are you going or not?"
"Can't Yuriko go with you?"
Seber felt that his reputation was in danger of being ruined. He immediately betrayed his "good friend" Remi. "Or you can ask Remi to go with you. Look, he's a handsome guy, isn't he? Don't you girls like handsome guys? It'll be great to bring him out! "
"Hmph."
Selena had an "I knew you would say that" expression on her face. Under Seber's despairing gaze, she took out two more tickets from behind her back and swung them around in her hand smugly.
"Are you stupid? I bought a total of four tickets. Everyone is going! Don't even think about leaving! "
"Alright, to hell with the acrobatic performance …"
Seiber leaned against the chair in despair and covered his face with one hand. "Oh my god, what have I done?"
"Hey, hey, what's with that expression?"
Selina stood up from the sofa with her hands on her slender waist and stood beside Seiber like an old woman. "Johnny's performance isn't as simple as you think. Don't worry, it's definitely worth it, I promise!"
Alright, regardless of whether Selena promised or not, regardless of whether the performance was exciting or not, the four of them arrived at the largest open-air stadium in Las Vegas on time that night. When they entered the stadium and saw the packed seats and the screams of the fanatical fans, Saber, who was carrying Selena on his back, realized that the damned "Hot Johnny" was quite the character.
"Oh, hell, look at the people around him, they're all crazy."
Seiber sat in his seat and complained to Yuriko beside him, "It's like they're crazy about giving birth to Johnny's child …"
As he spoke, a deep voice sounded in the stadium.
"Ladies and gentlemen! Let us welcome the death stunt driver who has toyed with the Grim Reaper, the holder of seven world records! The hero in the hearts of 99% of the racers, and of course our hero, the one and only … "Hot Johnny"! "
"Ohhhh!"
The people around him all stood up and screamed. Even the usually quiet Yuriko stood up and cheered with her hands raised, looking like a fanatical fan.
"Johnny! Johnny! "
The sound of the cheers surged over. Saber looked like he had seen a ghost. He looked around at everyone, and it seemed like he was the only one still sitting in his seat. He couldn't help but pull down the brim of his hat and pull down the cheering Remi. He asked in a low voice.
"Hey, buddy, who is this Johnny?"
"Johnny! He's Johnny! The superstar of the entire western region! "
Remi's handsome face was full of excitement as he said to Saber, "Johnny Blaze. He was born in an acrobatic family. When they didn't have a car, their family performed acrobatics. When they got a car, they became the best death stunt drivers on the planet. His father, Hot Barton, was the best acrobat of the previous era, and Johnny has surpassed his father. Now, of the ten most difficult racing challenges in the world, seven of them were created by him! Apart from him, no one else can complete them! "
Remy looked at the noisy stadium, intoxicated, and screamed.
"He's a god sitting on a race car!"
"Johnny! Johnny! "
These words that only a die-hard fan could say surprised Saber. He couldn't help but stand up. Relying on his excellent eyesight, he could see the young man wearing a red and white racing uniform on a professional racing motorcycle. Even though he was wearing a helmet, he could still see his brown eyes clearly.
Johnny wasn't a very handsome guy, but it had to be said that when he rode on the motorcycle, he had a contradictory aura of madness and calmness. Especially his eyes, which carried a trace of indescribable sadness. His cheeks were moving, as if he was talking.
"Wait …"
Saber's eyes narrowed at this moment, the red light in his eyes almost burning solid. "This person … why do I feel like …"
Johnny, who was mumbling to himself, also seemed to feel a special aura. He turned his head and glanced in Saber's direction, but there were at least four thousand people in the stands in this direction. He couldn't tell Saber apart.
"Vroom! Vroom!
Vroom! "The gates of the stadium were pulled open at this moment. A series of heavy trucks quickly drove into the stadium and circled around everyone. The trucks had the words" Explosive Johnny "printed on them. Within five minutes, they lined up neatly in the middle of the two racing tracks. The host's passionate voice rang out again.
"Tonight, we will witness the birth of a new record! A total of 50 trucks! With a distance of 300 feet, Johnny will challenge the Death Flying Car stunt that no one on this planet can complete! Tell me, are you willing to believe in him? "
At this moment, the voices in the entire stadium converged together, almost breaking through the clouds.
"Johnny! Johnny! "
Frankly speaking, even someone as crazy as Seiber was stunned by the scene before him. 300 feet, 91 meters, and he relied on a motorcycle to cover that distance? Even if it was a modified motorcycle, it wouldn't be able to stay in the air for so long! Unless it was a super motorcycle with the same engine as his previous Tomahawk with the lightest modification, it would be slightly possible.
But if he were to crash into any of the cars at the fastest speed, if he made a single mistake, the only outcome waiting for this young man would be … death!
"This … This is simply courting death!"
Saber couldn't help but whisper, "He can't succeed … With that car, it won't work!"
"Hey, what are you talking about? Hurry up and carry me! "
Selena unhappily squeezed beside Saber. She stretched out her arms and legs and hugged Saber like a koala. Her curvaceous body made Saber turn his head and ask.
"What are you doing?"
"Hurry up and carry me, I can't see him! They all stood up, d * mn it, hurry up and carry me! "
Seber gritted his teeth in anger at this request. However, when he thought about the fact that he still needed this girl to bring him to the "Beyond the Boundaries" bar, he had no choice but to swallow his anger and carry Selena. The girl wrapped her legs around Seber's neck, supported herself up, and waved her arms high.
Oh, my God, this action is too exciting.
Seiber bit his tongue to calm himself down. At the same time, Johnny made a special hand gesture to the audience. He turned the handle, revved the engine to the highest level, and dived down from an L-shaped curve. His speed reached the highest level in a few seconds, and he rose up from the edge of the pedals that were tilted up to 40 degrees.
At this moment, everyone's breathing stopped. All the screams stopped as if the key had been pressed. Even Saber's eyes couldn't help but fall on the car that drew a beautiful curve in the air. Everyone could see that the car's speed in the air was gradually decreasing. When it leaped past the 40 cars, it was already showing signs of falling.
Saber narrowed his eyes. According to this trend, Johnny would eventually fall between the last two cars. But at the same time, a white gas spewed out from the back of the car. It was very weak, but it caused the falling car to surge forward by 5 meters. Finally, the front wheel slammed into the other side of the barrier.
"So that's how it is …"
Seiber shook his head. Johnny's car must have been modified with a device similar to a nitrogen jet to increase the car's power. There was also a secondary jet to prevent the car from falling. If that was the case, it wouldn't be impossible for the car to leap 300 feet.
However, just as everyone heaved a sigh of relief, something unexpected happened. When Johnny landed on the ground, he seemed to be in a trance for a moment, and the handle of the car clearly turned. Seiber's eyes immediately widened, because in the next moment, Johnny fell out of the car. Not only did his head hit the ground hard, but he was also crushed by the wheels twice. The glass of his helmet shattered, and Johnny slid on the ground. Red slammed heavily into the guardrail at the edge of the field, causing the audience to scream on the other side.
Based on the speed at which he landed, Seiber could even hear the sound of his skull and spine breaking. Johnny wasn't a mutant, and a normal person's body wouldn't be able to withstand such a terrifying impact.
"He's finished!"
Saber said softly. "This is a brave guy, but it looks like his luck isn't too good. He didn't manage to hide from the Grim Reaper …"
"Hey, you, what are you talking about!"
A strong man who weighed at least 200 pounds punched Saber's chest and shouted excitedly, "Johnny won't die! He's the best racer, you bastard! "
Before Saber could react, Selena who was riding on his neck was like an angry kitten. She raised her fist and punched the strong man's face twice.
"B * tch! Son of a b * tch! How dare you hit him! F * ck off! "
"Hey, little b * tch, what did you say?"
The strong man clenched his fist. In the end, he was kicked out of his seat by Saber. He struggled to get up but was kicked in the face by Saber. He spat out blood and fainted on the spot. Saber looked at him coldly as if he was looking at a bug.
"How dare you scold him?"
Then, he patted Selena's calf and signaled her to calm down. Just as Saber turned his gaze back to the spectator stand, something that he could not understand happened.
The fiery Johnny that he had judged to be "dead" actually stood up again with the help of a few staff members. He wore sunglasses and waved to the audience around him. The next moment, the entire square was filled with the fanatical shouts of the fans.
"Johnny! You're the best! We love you! "
"Johnny!"
Selena was also shouting Johnny's name like a crazy woman. She patted Seiber's head and said, "Look, Seiber! He's still alive! See, I told you! He's the best! The best racer! Johnny! "
Selena did not see Saber's gaze. It was a mix of curiosity, doubt, and shock. Saber was very confident in his judgment. He was sure that when Johnny landed, he definitely broke his skull and spine. But now, he was swaying there as if nothing had happened.
Did Saber make a mistake?
Could it be that Johnny was not a normal human?
Or could it be that … he was already dead, but he came back to life …
Saber took a deep breath. He remembered that when he first saw Johnny's face, he had a special feeling in his heart. It was as if … as if there was a special connection between the two of them … His mind was in a mess. The only thing he could be sure of was that Johnny was definitely not a normal racer. He had some special secrets on him.
The so-called "deceiving the Grim Reaper" was more like some unknown power protecting him … Could it be that he had the same experience as Saber?
He looked in the direction where Johnny had disappeared, and conveniently pulled Selena, who had jumped off his body, into his arms. This action stunned Selena, but she didn't resist. Instead, she quietly looked to her left and right with a guilty conscience. The latter kissed her fragrant hair and muttered to himself, "I'm sorry, but I'm sorry, but I'm sorry.
"Wow, Selena, you're right. This performance … is really, really different."
