"I'm warning you!"
Selena, who was wearing sunglasses and a baseball cap, glared fiercely at Saber, who was sitting in the passenger seat with his eyes closed. "Don't look at me with your obscene eyes! Otherwise, I'll gouge them out! I swear! "
Saber waved his hand and put on his sunglasses. However, when he opened his eyes, the pressure appeared again. Selena slammed on the brakes and pulled Saber's ear.
"Close your eyes! Close them! I'm ordering you! "
"Hey! Drive properly. We're on the road, you crazy girl! "
Saber slapped her fingers away and rubbed his forehead helplessly. "Besides, your body is very good. It's good for a girl to be praised. Do you understand?"
"F * ck!"
Selena gave Saber the middle finger. It was very rude, but to be honest, when Saber said that, Miss Thief did feel a little happy. Even she did not know why she felt that way. Then, she saw Saber with a strange smile on his face reach out his finger and point at his forehead.
"I feel it."
"Damn it!"
Selena pulled down her baseball cap and started the car angrily. The car's engine, which was ruined by the sandstorm, roared for a while and emitted two puffs of black smoke. Then, it continued on the road.
Ten minutes later, Saber's eyelids moved. He reached out his hand and said, "Stop by the roadside …"
"What's wrong?"
Although Selena was very confused, she still stopped the car by the roadside. She looked at Saber, who shook his head at her.
"Wait a moment. You'll see your idol soon."
"What?"
Selena was even more confused. A few minutes later, a battered figure pushed an equally battered motorcycle out of the wilderness. He looked around and saw the off-road vehicle parked by the roadside. He waved at Selena and Saber happily.
"Hey, buddy! Wait for me! "
When the guy came closer, Selena took off her sunglasses and shook Saber's shoulder as she shouted excitedly.
"Look! It's Johnny! Hot Johnny! You're amazing, buddy! How did you sense him? "
Saber shrugged and did not say anything. He let Selena, who looked like a fanatic, rush out to talk to Johnny. After ten seconds, they reached a consensus. Johnny, who had an embarrassed look on his face, took the paper and pen from Selena and wrote his name. Then, he put his battered motorcycle on top of the off-road vehicle.
When they opened the door, Saber was already sitting in the back seat. Johnny was stunned for a moment. He gave him a friendly smile and sat in the front passenger seat.
The car started, and Selina chatted with her idol. Seber closed his eyes and "sized up" Johnny Blaze, who was not very talkative. Yes, even with his eyes closed, he could clearly feel Johnny's emotions and his voice, as well as his slightly cold manner.
He looked like an otaku who was not good at interacting with others, but Saber knew that he was not!
After Johnny sat in the car, Saber's strange feeling became clearer. Johnny Blaze, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, could not help but look back a few times. Obviously, he felt a special connection between the two of them.
"Johnny, are you not used to sitting in the front?"
Saber suddenly said, "Why don't you sit in the back? I'm also a big fan of yours."
Johnny looked at Selena awkwardly. In the end, he did not say a word and sat beside Saber. Selena curiously looked at the two of them from the rearview mirror. Her woman's instinct made her feel that there was some unspeakable secret between Saber and Johnny. But how was this possible? It was their first time being so close.
"Is the car broken?"
Syber took out two cigars and shared them with Johnny. Johnny wanted to reject the offer, but the moment he touched Syber's arm, he retracted his hand abruptly as though he was burned by a piece of charcoal. After he recovered from his shock, he quickly took the cigars from Syber as a clumsy cover. Facing Syber's question, he clumsily smoked the cigars and replied dryly, "Sir, I'm sorry, but I'm sorry.
"Hmm … The new show is about to start. I wanted to find the feeling here, but the sandstorm just now was too sudden. Motorcycles are very delicate machines. In this situation, I can only admit that I was unlucky."
Selena, who was driving, could not help but stick out her tongue. She knew the details of the sandstorm, but she did not expose it. Saber rubbed his forehead and smoked the cigar to relieve his headache. He said softly,
"Actually, there was a period of time when I really liked motorcycles. Have you been to Gotham? Johnny? I have a modified Tomahawk there, but I can only drive it up to 450 … That feeling, it's like there's an invisible hand pushing you into the sky, it's amazing! "
When it came to motorcycles, Johnny's interest was obviously piqued. After all, motorcycles were his field of expertise. He followed Saber's example, exhaling the smoke from his mouth and shaking his head.
"Impossible, Mr. Saber, it's impossible to reach 450 km/h. That speed is too crazy. Normal people can't even drive a heavy motorcycle at that speed. You must be mistaken. However, if it's Gotham, my team might have a national tour tomorrow. If it's possible, I can set the first stop at Gotham. A Tomahawk … I have one too, but I can't drive it out."
Johnny the Death Racer shrugged, his eyes full of disdain. "Those cowards actually banned their perfect baby from the road because it's too fast. That's ridiculous!"
"Normal people can't reach 450 km/h?"
Saber waved his hand at Selena. The girl understood and raised the glass on both sides of the car. This special glass could block out most of the sound and was very suitable for discussing matters. The light in the car dimmed. Saber took off his sunglasses and closed his eyes.
"What if it's not a normal person?"
Johnny's body trembled. He held the cigar in his mouth and mumbled, "What are you talking about? Mr. Saber, I don't understand. "
"You can feel it too, right?"
Saber stretched out his finger and gently placed it on Johnny Blaze's arm. The moment the two touched, Johnny's skin felt like it was touching a piece of scorching steel. It started to crack and smoke rapidly. However, Johnny didn't look like he was in pain. He just looked at everything that happened with a hint of confusion. Saber's voice rang in the car.
"When we were in Las Vegas, I was very sure that you felt the connection between us. Now, I'm even more sure of it. Johnny, there's something that you can't see or touch, but it really exists. It's connecting the two of us. If I'm not wrong, that bastard Mephisto has also invested something in you, right?"
"Mephisto?"
Johnny took a deep breath. His eyes turned serious. "Who is that?"
Saber opened his eyes. His burning eyes and dark red pupils reflected in Johnny's vision. The latter's body stiffened at that moment. Saber pointed at his eyes.
"Mephisto is the bastard who gave me this pair of eyes … I'm curious, did he give you anything? Oh yeah, did he give you this? "
Saber took out the golden scroll wrapped in black sheepskin. It looked like it was only two fingers thick. The moment Johnny saw this thing, the cigar in his hand fell to the ground. He seemed to have seen something that made him feel terrified. He frantically slammed the car door and shouted.
"Stop the car! Stop the car! "
Selena did not know what happened. She hurriedly stepped on the brakes. Johnny opened the car door and rushed out into the wilderness. As if he had smelled something disgusting or seen something terrifying, he rushed into the wilderness and knelt there, retching. Selena opened the car door and jumped out. She leaned against the side of the car helplessly and looked at Johnny's pained expression.
Saber slowly opened the car door and leaned on the wooden box. He gestured to Selena with his fingers. The girl obediently returned to the car. Saber leaned on the wooden box like he was leaning on a cane. He looked around. Under the sunglasses, the sky was so clear and vast that it could almost contain everyone's pain and unbearable memories.
He slowly stepped into the desert beside the road and walked step by step to the side of Johnny who was kneeling there. The young man's eyes stared blankly ahead. There was not a trace of focus in his pupils. At this moment, when the desert wind blew his black hair up, it also completely tore apart the layer of emotionless face on his outer appearance.
He revealed his true self, a lost soul that lived in pain, regret, and anticipation for the future. That look in his eyes meant that Johnny Blaze was a man with a story. Seiber's guess was right. He wasn't a normal person in the traditional sense.
"I can feel it … Yes, I can feel your pain, your resistance to everything in the past, some bad things have happened to you …"
Saber's voice mixed with the hot desert wind and blew into Johnny's ears.
"Don't you mind telling me?"
Johnny shook his head and looked at Saber. The latter was wearing sunglasses and leaning on the wooden box. He looked like a blind man. "For what reason? On what grounds should I tell my story to a stranger? "
"If you want to escape the sun, you can't use the frost to warm yourself. We are all like that. The more we want to forget something and start afresh …"
Saber sat cross-legged beside Johnny and shared the last two cigars with him. "We realize that the past is like a poison that flows in the deepest part of our blood. It cannot be removed. One day, we will wish that those memories never existed. We will wish that those loved ones who brought us pain never existed … Only then can we completely forget the pain and become a coward."
"Fufu …"
Saber blew out a mouthful of smoke. "Are you a coward? Johnny? "
"I'd rather be a coward."
Johnny broke his own rule for the first time and began to enjoy the relaxation brought by the tobacco. He looked at Saber. "You haven't signed the contract, right?"
"I'm considering …"
Saber wasn't lying. He had already seen the contract. He used two wooden sticks to press down on both sides of the contract. Saber wouldn't easily touch the contract. He was already tired of hearing stories about falling into the devil's trap if he wasn't careful.
The contract was written in a very formal tone. As long as he signed his name in the blank space of the contract, Mephisto would immediately appear and heal him of the pain in the deepest part of his body and take away his soul.
It sounded like a fantasy, but after witnessing Mephisto's power, Seiber didn't think that a great demon like him wouldn't be able to do such a simple thing. In all the legends about demons, toying with souls was their forte.
"Don't sign it!"
Johnny said to Saber sternly. "No matter what he promises you, don't sign it! He will only bring you despair. He is toying with your soul, he is toying with your will. He is a madman, a sadist! Don't sign it! "
"Oh …"
Saber opened his eyes and looked at Johnny. He tried to look at his memories, just like how he looked at Selena's memories. But he couldn't see … It was a blank space. The burning flame blocked everything. The power that Mephisto left on Johnny prevented Saber from looking. He could only shrug.
"Now I'm more curious. What did he promise you, and what did you get?"
"I begged him for the lives of my loved ones …"
Johnny lowered his head, his voice seemed to be squeezed out from his chest. "What did I get? Hehe … "
"I got what I wanted, and everything I didn't want …"
"Regret, despair, pain … heartbreak … Want to hear my story? The story of Johnny and the devil … "
Saber shrugged and patted him on the shoulder.
"You have a story, I have wine … Come, if we're lucky, we can still have dinner in Houston tonight."
