It was a long distance from Nevada to Texas. It was almost a quarter of America's territory. Naturally, it was impossible to drive there. However, just as the private jet was about to land at Houston's airport, Seber was still thinking about Johnny's problem.
It was obvious that the guy was not normal. It was a special feeling. Saber felt that he would definitely meet him again this time, without a doubt.
However, when he saw Remi Leber sitting across from him, fawning over the helpless Yuriko, no matter how calm Saber was, he could not help but ask.
"I came to Texas for business. Why are you following me?"
Remy leaned comfortably on the plane and shrugged. The two playing cards jumped around in his hands as if they had a life of their own. The purple light on the surface of the playing cards looked very strange. This seemed to be one of his ways of having fun.
When he heard Saber's question, he reached out and flicked his brown cowboy hat.
"I'm here to relax … Some b * stard messed up Las Vegas. Only a ghost would want to stay in that place."
"Hey, tell me the truth. I can see you lying."
Saber pursed his lips. "How about I throw you down from here?! Hmm... 200 meters in the air. "
"Okay, I'm here for Johnny. I heard that in three days, he's going to hold a huge charity show here in Houston. He'll donate 40% of the proceeds to local development. Most importantly, Johnny said that he wants to challenge his own record this time!"
Remi waved his fist in the air like a child. He even whistled. "This is a new record! I don't want to miss it. "
"If you ask me, your idol is not normal, Remi Leber!"
Saber held the gauze in one hand and opened the shiny silver revolver with the other. He spoke as he wiped it.
"I don't think a person who would give up a peaceful life and challenge some damn record every day has a normal brain. Believe me, there are only two reasons why a person would be so persistent in seeking death. Either he's extremely confident in himself and desires to mock death, or he's avoiding something and wishes to die in something that he likes."
Ka!
The magazine filled with silver bullets was loaded into the gun, and Seiber had a malicious smile on his face.
"Guess, what kind of idol does your idol belong to?"
Needless to say, the plane landed and they found a hotel to rest. Later that day, Seiber and Selina embarked on their journey to the strange bar, Beyond the Boundary. Johnny's hidden fans, Yuriko and Remy, stayed in Houston to wait for the show to begin.
It took Saber 30 minutes to get onto the road to the desert through the crowd of people in Houston. There was no doubt that this was a remote road, with desolate deserts on both sides. It was difficult to see any oases. There were a few small towns in the depths of the desert that were popular with tourism, but the place itself was definitely deserted.
"They said that this area is haunted!"
Selena was wearing sunglasses and a baseball cap. She was curled up in the passenger seat, chattering like a tour guide. She introduced the place to Saber.
"The last time I came here, I was tricked by the same excuse. Something about a wheat field demon. The locals said that a terrible massacre happened here more than 100 years ago. Several villages were wiped out. If you go deeper into the desert, you will find the ruins of a small town called 'Hell on Earth' …"
Miss Thief seemed to recall an unpleasant experience. She shuddered. "That place is called San Venganza. I've been there once. It's creepy even in broad daylight. You know, it's like there's something strange hidden in those dilapidated houses. Something sick, something dark. No one would want to go there a second time."
"Anyway, it's a godforsaken place!"
Selena concluded. "If it weren't for your request, I wouldn't have come here a second time."
Seiber nodded. He was also wearing a pair of sunglasses that covered half of his face. He turned his head to look at the scenery outside the car window from time to time. Strangely enough, as they drove towards the Crossover Bar under Selina's guidance, the sky outside the car window kept changing. The light was getting darker and darker, and there were more and more dark clouds above. Most importantly, the wind was blowing.
Most of the wind in the desert during the day should be hot, but when Saber opened the car window, he felt the cold wind. It was like the cold wind in winter. In this climate, which was not cold, it made people feel cold all over. If you listened carefully, you could even hear the low, hoarse whispers in the wind.
"What the hell?"
Sensing that something was amiss, he turned to look at Selena and asked, "What's wrong?
"Was it like this the last time you were here?"
Miss Thief's expression was a little strange. She seemed to be a little scared. She shook her head.
"How is that possible? If there was such a change last time, I would have left long ago. How should I put it? This place doesn't look right. Why don't we go back? Saber, I don't think we can go any further! "
"Phew …"
Saber patted her shoulder, indicating that she should calm down. He looked out the window and whispered.
"Tell me about the Beyond Line Bar."
Selena looked at him and tightened the seatbelt on her body. She rubbed her forehead and recalled.
"That place is in the desert. It's one of those old western bars from the previous era, no, hundreds of years ago. It looks like a tourist attraction, but that place is open for business. Many bikers will stop there, but not every day. The last time I stayed there for two days, the business of that damn place was very bad, and the bartender and the waitress there felt weird, like …"
She thought hard for a few minutes before she could think of a suitable adjective.
"Just like the cultists! Yes! It's a very strange feeling. "
Selena continued to talk about her trip. About ten minutes later, Lin Sanjiu stopped talking.
"Boom!"
A muffled thunder sounded in the dusky sky, but it did not illuminate everything. Instead, it made the surrounding atmosphere even more strange. Selena grabbed Saber's arm tightly. Her voice was trembling.
"Let's go back, please. This place doesn't feel right!"
"No, we can't … We can't go back!"
The red glow in Seiber's eyes was so intense that it almost turned into flames. Even through the sunglasses, Seiber could see the two strange red lights. He suddenly stepped on the brakes and let out a sigh of relief.
"We're here …"
"What? There's still a distance … "
Selena turned her head in confusion. The next moment, the strange wind in front of the window dispersed. Less than 500 meters in front of them, a black building appeared in front of their eyes. The red, shining neon lights formed two strange words in the dark.
"Crossing the line."
The darkness was even gloomier than the darkness itself. Saber reached out and lit a cigar. He patted Selena's shoulder. The Master Thief had never experienced such a magical scene in her 19 years of life. She knew very little about the mutants, let alone this kind of story that only existed in myths.
"Stay here and don't move. I'll be back soon!"
After that, Saber opened the door and walked out. The moment he stepped on the ground, the gloomy wind wrapped around him, trying to get into his clothes and take away all the warmth from his body. But this little bit of wind had no effect on Saber. He laughed, holding the alloy knife in his left hand and putting his right hand in his pocket, where the pistol was loaded with adamantium bullets.
He strode forward, but before he could take a few steps, Selena jumped out of the car and ran forward, grabbing Saber's arm tightly.
"I … I'll go with you."
Saber turned his head and looked at the car parked in the wind. He thought about it and nodded. With Selena's strength, if she really left him, he didn't know what would happen to her in this strange place.
The Master Thief's body was almost curled up in Saber's arm. She wrapped her clothes tightly. She looked at the strange bar in front of her and felt more and more that she was involved in something terrible. Besides fear, there was also a kind of unexpected excitement.
Just as Selina had said, this bar was a classic example of the Wild West from hundreds of years ago. The business sign was fixed to the door by an iron hook, and it rattled in the wind. The wooden railings were so old that they were somewhat rotten, and the walls were full of all kinds of scratches. Beside the bar, there were wooden posts and water troughs that were specially used to tie horses. Every step on the wooden stairs would make creaking sounds.
In front of them was a wooden door that was rustling in the wind. It was a classic shutter structure. Two lanterns hung outside the door, and a warm orange light seeped out from the wooden door. If not for the gloomy clouds and the howling wind, this would be a good tourist attraction.
Seiber glanced at Selena and said softly, "Don't worry.
"Don't be afraid …"
With that, he pushed open the wooden door in front of him. It wasn't as heavy as he had imagined, and he easily pushed it open. As he walked in, the coldness and darkness seemed to have disappeared at this moment. Instead, it was replaced by a refreshing warmth. It was hard to imagine that he was only one step away.
"Ding!"
The wooden door was pushed open, and the bell at the top made a crisp sound. Saber looked up and saw the lazy bartender take off the smoking pipe at the corner of his mouth, and greet them while wiping the shiny bar counter.
"Yo … Customers, do you need anything?"
Saber did not answer immediately. Instead, he looked around. There were no customers in the bar, only this strange-looking bartender. The only source of sound was the burning fireplace, and that was the source of warmth.
He walked forward with Selena, who was a little reserved, and sat on a chair at the bar counter.
"My name is Saber Hawk. A" big shot "sent me a message, and asked me to come to" Beyond the Boundary "Bar to find him."
The bartender glanced at him and said lazily, "There are a lot of big shots here.
"There are many big shots here. Who exactly are you looking for?"
Saber did not answer. Instead, he reached out and took off his sunglasses. When he looked up again, the red light in his eyes was like two burning flames.
"I'm looking for the person who gave me this pair of eyes … Can you help me contact him?"
"Wow!"
The bartender let out a cry of surprise. Then, he changed his position and leaned on the bar counter. He said with interest, "Interesting, a special human … But you know the rules, right? Looking for people costs money. "
Saber shrugged and took out his wallet.
"How much?"
"No, we don't need your fancy paper here. What we want here is …"
The bartender chuckled. "The one and only beautiful currency in this world. We want the purest, most beautiful, most delicious … soul!"
Saber and Selena froze at the same time. The bartender seemed to be satisfied with the effect of his words. He turned his head and looked at Selena, who was standing beside Saber. He looked at Selena with a strange gaze, as if he was inspecting an item, until the Master Thief had goosebumps all over her body.
"Is this the sacrifice you've brought? Not bad. Looks like you're quite smart! "
The bartender chuckled and reached out his hand. His five fingers had a special black shadow, and he reached out towards Selena, who was standing there in a daze. The Master Thief did not care about the bartender's hand. Instead, she turned her head and looked at Saber in disbelief. She could not believe that Saber brought her here just to use her soul to pay for the damn fee.
"Bang!"
The curled fingers slammed hard on Selena's head. Saber's cold and helpless voice was heard.
"Don't think too much!"
After saying that, he stretched out his other hand, grabbed the bartender's arm, and then pulled him out fiercely. Caught off guard, the pretentious bartender was pressed against the bar counter. He raised his head and saw a shiny silver pistol against his head.
The red light in Saber's eyes flickered.
"The fee is one soul, right?"
"Very well, I'll pay now!"
"Bang!"
