Chapter 14
Shi Buxi originally did not plan to change the car, but when he finished the ritual and took his clothes to wash up, he felt that the car was tainted with a rotten smell that made him uncomfortable, so he changed for a new one and put all the food, water and other things in the trunk.
Do you also dislike this car?
"It smells like a vampire." Shi Buyi replied.
[Haha, tomorrow the vampire will be the driver, won't you sit next to him?]
[Yeah, do you change it every day? ]
"You will know tomorrow." Shi Buxi said.
"Xiao Xi, I'm done washing." Zong Ziyu came out holding the clothes, looked at the blue night sky, and sighed softly. It would definitely rain heavily again tonight.
"Okay." Shi Buxi responded, took out clothes from the trunk, and went to the bathroom. He came out after about ten minutes. Because of the low temperature and the cold shower, his face was pale when he came out.
"Xiao Shi, is your water cold? Why don't you heat it up?"
"I'm not a god." Shi Buyi was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
[Little friend, can't you light fire in the void? ]
Shi Buxi: ..., even if he burned all the talisman papers, he still couldn’t heat a bottle of water.
[Wow, the production team is rubbish. When will the clothes be arranged?]
[We still have to find that man in white.]
"Yeah!" Shi Buxi nodded seriously, deciding that the next time he saw him, he would never let him go. Besides the clothes, he mainly wanted him to drive. The rotten smell of the vampire was too pungent for him, even though others couldn't smell it.
"If you don't mind, put it on first!" Zong Ziyu handed a black jacket to Shi Buxi and said, "This is new and has never been worn."
"Then I won't be polite." Shi Buyi's eyes lit up, and then he smiled, like the crescent moon in the sky, pure and beautiful.
Zong Ziyu was struck by his cute appearance and thought he looked a bit like the lucky doll in the New Year picture hanging on the head of his cousin's bed, but that lucky doll looked only three or four years old, wearing a bellyband and chubby.
Now that he had his coat, his body temperature had returned and his movements had become more flexible. He put away his toiletries first, then took out the sandalwood box, found a place facing east, set up the incense burner, and lit some sandalwood.
【Ahhh, are you going to draw a talisman? 】
[Holy crap, is this the talisman that blew up the zombies in the viral video?]
[Now it's a vampire. But today, the trending searches have been arguing all day about whether it's a zombie or a vampire.]
[Some people are saying this was contestant Shi Xiao's shill. Please, anyone who saw the scene wouldn't have any doubts, okay?]
Can I just say this is the first time I've seen so many big names arguing? Zombie research experts, biologists, physicists, historians, archaeologists, and so on. It's truly eye-opening.
"Children, be prepared. Mr. Ouyang, Professor Terrence, and Academician Liang are rare to see today. Those who question you are searching for information today. Tomorrow they may come and attack you."
[Hahaha, there were quite a few people attacking with barrages today, it's just that Shi Xiao didn't look at the holographic screen.]
This is completely different. Comments from ordinary people are filtered by the system, and excessive comments won't be read out at all. Over 90% of comments from those "golden-standard" professors will be read out.
Shi Buxi listened and nodded while putting things in place. He understood that someone might come and scold him tomorrow.
After setting up the simple altar, incense was burned to announce and apologize. The usefulness of the talisman told Shi Buxi that even after thousands of years, the ancestor was still in charge of this place.
Shi Bushi didn't have to draw many talismans today. One was to make up for the loss from last night, and the other was to add a cleansing talisman.
Many people in the live broadcast room came here just because of Shi Bushi's talismans. Seeing this, they also took up pens and tried to draw, wanting to see if they could draw it themselves.
Shi Buxi spent about an hour on this painting, yawning continuously. He had been sitting in the car all day and had not slept well the previous two nights, so he was extremely sleepy.
"Xiao Xi, it's going to rain." Zong Ziyu reminded.
"Okay." Shi Buyi responded, put down the last piece of writing, and put the things back into the sandalwood box. He found that Zong Ziyu's car had driven up next to his car at some point.
"It's safe to follow you." Zong Ziyu didn't feel embarrassed. It had only been two nights, and he had a psychological trauma from seeing vampires every night.
Shi Buyi didn't laugh at him. Instead, he took out a talisman, folded it, and handed it to him. "Put it in your car. If a vampire attacks your car, just don't get out and you'll be fine."
Zong Ziyu had witnessed what happened to Jian Xiaonan with his own eyes, so he naturally knew how useful the talisman was. He immediately took it to express his gratitude and taught Shi Buxi how to turn on the heater in the car.
Only then did Shi Buxi realize that this car had heating.
The appearance of the heater made Shi Buxi sleep more comfortably, and without any non-human creatures disturbing him all night, he slept very well.
The two got up before dawn, filled the bottles that had been used up with tap water, washed up, had breakfast, and then prepared to set off.
This departure attracted a lot of attention. As soon as the holographic screen was released, one golden name after another appeared, followed by various barrages.
[I'd like to see how to make zombies drive.]
[A piece of paper holding a zombie still? Humph, it's obviously a scam. The production team needs to explain.]
[Vampires are just material from ancient fiction and are not real. If this is a program effect and you don't disclose it in advance, you will be held legally responsible.]
"Little boy, I see you're not that old. Why bother trying to get involved with the production team and create some gimmicks that will ruin your reputation?"
Shi Buxi felt a little uncomfortable in his eyes due to the golden barrage. He blinked twice before adapting, turned his head slightly, and then ignored it and turned away.
【……】
【Hahaha, Xiaoxi, well done.】
Shi Buxi first opened the car door, then walked towards the vampire and stuffed a talisman on him.
What? What is this?
"Purification Talisman," Shi Buyi replied. The rotting corpse odor of a vampire was unscentable to ordinary people, but it was unbearable to him.
After giving the talisman to the vampire, Shi Buxi returned to the car and took out the talisman.
When the audience saw this, their eyes lit up and they stared at his movements closely.
[Here it comes again, the vampire has to teleport over again. ]
[Hmph, wait until I expose him.]
【……】
[What happened? Whoosh, whoosh, it flew over?]
The bigwigs in various fields who said that Shi Buxi was just a trick and a show effect stared at the vampire sitting in the driver's seat with wide eyes. They rubbed their eyes hard, but they were still there.
[Hahahaha, every time I stare at it, my eyes hurt, but I still can't see what's happening.]
[This kid is amazing! This speed is no slower than the speed of light.]
[Impossible, impossible. It doesn't conform to physics.]
【Was it recorded early? 】
【This is a live broadcast.】
How is this possible? How is this possible?
[I'm not kidding, I'm not kidding. Then, then this is all about the mind. Yes, maybe quantum principles can explain it. I'll go back and do some experiments.]
[This is good. I'll go back and study it. Maybe I can develop it using my mental power.]
[I, I'll go back and study ancient history.]
In the glittering barrage of comments, the bigwigs in various fields who wanted to use science to question Shi Buxi were dumbfounded. The videos on the previous hot searches could be said to have been speed-adjusted or post-produced, but now it is live broadcast, live broadcast.
Many scientists are beginning to doubt their lives. They are in a daze and don’t know how to question Shi Buxi, or even question the science they have learned all their lives?
Shi Buyi let the vampire sit in the driver's seat and fasten his seat belt, then smiled at the vampire and said, "I'll remove your talisman, you drive carefully, and when I don't need you anymore, I'll let you go, otherwise..."
As soon as he finished speaking, he tore off the yellow talisman on his forehead.
The vampire, who had regained some of his humanity, shuddered at the thought of his terrifying talisman and immediately put his hands on the steering wheel.
【……】
【Do you really understand?】
[Ahhh, tell me quickly, this vampire is a human in disguise.]
[I've seen the chain on your clothes, please untie it.]
[This blue face is still so scary to me! ]
[It was still a day of surprise for the kid. I decided that from today on, I would believe him. He really could catch ghosts.]
[Hahaha, another day of scientists doubting science.]
Upon hearing this, Shi Buxi glanced at the holographic screen and saw rows of golden question marks.
"Let's go." Shi Buyi gave an order, the car started, and followed Zong Ziyu.
Although the car is driven by a vampire, it is the automatic driving function that is used. The driver is required because he can take back control of the vehicle in the event of an accident. The audience also knows this, so there are still many people who do not believe that vampires can drive.
[Haha, the vampire is just a decoration, Xiao Xixi is just looking for peace of mind.]
[I think so too, haha, but as long as the kids are happy.]
[No matter what, I will definitely open it. It's so cool. I want it too.]
The two of them continued on their journey without stopping.
Zong Ziyu has high mental strength and his five senses and physical functions are also better than ordinary people. Driving for a whole day is nothing for him. However, when he saw Shi Buyi open the car window and sleeping soundly without knowing what time it was, he was very envious and he also wanted a vampire to drive for him.
The audience disagreed with Shi Buxi's behavior of sleeping soundly in a car side by side with a vampire. Those who were still questioning Shi Buxi even thought that he must be a setup, otherwise who could fall asleep in the same space with a vampire? Some viewers were also very curious about vampires and kept asking questions.
[Mr. Vampire, what's your name? Do you really like sucking blood?]
[Mr. Vampire, can you speak? ]
[Mr. Vampire, why are you being held captive by the talisman? ]
Vampire: I also want to know why something so unreasonable would appear?
[Don't be silly, there are no vampires in this world. ]
[Yes, I looked it up. Vampires are a product of the Three Districts Province. The earliest vampire was called Dracula. However, this is a fictional character and doesn't exist. So I'm more inclined to believe that he's an evolved form of zombies.]
[Hehe, before zombies appeared, who thought there were zombies in this world? ]
[Wait, look at the vampire, isn't he always peeking at the child and swallowing his saliva?]
Someone noticed the vampire's movements while driving and exclaimed.
"Ah, I remember reading that vampires drink blood when they smell it."
The fragrance of human blood kept entering his nose, making him restless. He wanted to drink blood, wanted to drink blood, but -
[Ahhhhh, his fangs are exposed.]
The vampire looked panicked, and his lips trembled, trying to hide his fangs, but they were too long and there was no way.
At this time, Shi Buxi, who was leaning against the window, yawned slightly, and his long eyelashes trembled a few times.
This little action made the vampire even thirstier. Eat him, eat him...
The desire for blood, which hadn't been touched for thousands of years, was building up. While he...
"Put the tooth back, or I'll pull it out." Shi Buyi said lazily, sitting up and stretching. He realized that he had set out early. It was only around three in the afternoon, and he was almost at yesterday's camp.
“Beep, beep, beep!”
The terminal rang, and a holographic screen popped up. Shi Buxi picked up the phone, and Zong Ziyu's words rang out: "Don't stop the car, go straight to the armory."
【Pfft, hahahaha.】
"Okay." Shi Buyi responded amid the audience's laughter, and then looked at the vampire and found that in order to cover his fangs, his mouth was puffed up, like a small watermelon about to explode.
[Oh my god, kid, you've become a bully.]
[I inexplicably feel that vampires are so pitiful.]
Shi Buxi: ...
