At that moment, my mind went blank.
When the driver first took out his heart, it definitely wasn't like this now.
Although the car was a bit old, I could clearly see that the driver taking out his heart had some restorative effect on the car.
Or rather, from that moment on, the car was already brand new.
It absolutely could not be in this dilapidated state now.
It looks like this is the result of someone deliberately coming here to cause damage.
Although this car doesn't have tires, the area beneath our feet, where the energy field should be, is now covered with tiny scratches.
It looked as if it had experienced some kind of impact or friction.
The entire exterior of the car was almost completely devoid of luster, as if it had undergone a tremendous ordeal.
Not only that, the place that used to look brand new now looks completely dilapidated, like it has been open for many years.
I was stunned for a moment, my eyes wide open, staring at the scene before me.
Yi Yi was almost the same.
Surely we didn't go through something else along the way?
The probability of this is almost zero!
The flashbacks I experienced at that riverside hotel all involved Boss He appearing and taking us to a certain place.
But we didn't have any warning signs; we just passed through a patch of weeds. I don't think this will have any impact on us...
Moreover, all those feelings were absolutely real.
I have never experienced memory confusion.
But I clearly remember that when that fat guy used the essence of his heart to nourish the car body at the very beginning, all the old marks disappeared instantly...
Even when the girl and I were standing next to each other, the car was so new that it practically reflected our figures.
It's like a brand new car; apart from its appearance being different from a regular taxi, it's comparable to some luxury cars.
How come the area has turned back into this dilapidated state after only walking such a short distance, less than 20 kilometers in total?
It's even worse than the old, worn-out kind.
Looking at it like this, it looks like it's about to fall apart.
I couldn't help but ask the driver.
"This car... why does it look old again?"
As I spoke, I reached out and touched the car door. The texture was very rough, and it was even a little slippery.
Although the fishy smell was indeed gone after I opened the door and the air returned to normal, I never expected the car to turn out like this.
Yi Yi was just as puzzled.
At that moment, the driver was looking down and adjusting the tag hanging on his little finger. After hearing what I said, he didn't even raise his head, only twitching his eyebrows slightly.
"You should have seen clearly what's supporting my car..."
He nodded as he spoke to me.
Of course I understand this.
It's not just that electricity burns oil, but that the driver's vital energy is what matters!
Otherwise, this guy wouldn't have needed to sacrifice himself and silently harvest his organs from the entire car.
And I can pretty much guess that the organs he just removed were basically where he stored energy.
Nothing was fatal; in fact, his heart was almost irrelevant to him.
Either he has another heart, not on the left side of his chest, or the driver isn't a living person at all, but is just using some unique magic to cover up his scent.
Regardless of his situation—whether it's like this or he's not even alive—at least he doesn't mean me any harm, and that's enough.
All I need is for him to take us to Lan Jia's house; that's enough.
I nodded, and then the driver continued to speak.
"Once his energy is also depleted, he will return to his original state, getting a little better and a little older after walking a short distance. That's why the navigation system in my car is also worn out, because that's the original state of the car!"
The driver spoke softly, then moved his lips slightly before closing them again.
I immediately understood after hearing it.
Not only me, but the girl stood there, equally shocked at that moment.
No wonder this guy has been relying on those things for power the whole way. It seems that the car itself constantly dilutes energy, as well as the energy around it and the driver's own energy.
Looking at the car in front of us, the slight friction sound we had heard while sitting inside was gone. After we got out, the hovercar still slowly moved forward two steps.
It seemed to be consuming the driver's energy.
I noticed that although the driver's beard had been pulled off, a light stubble had grown back on his chin as he faced us.
This guy seems to recover his energy very quickly!
As it grew a little longer, some of it was sucked away by the hovercar. I saw that the smooth blue surface of the car's base remained unchanged.
However, once we all got out of the car, and after the driver pressed the switch, the hovercar finally stopped like a powerless ox.
The car has come to a complete stop.
If I hadn't just sat on it, I wouldn't have believed that this was the vehicle that had carried us this far.
Looking at the car lying on the rocky beach, it looked like a pile of scrap metal.
After the engine inside went silent, only the sound of flowing water remained in the surrounding area.
I know that even if the scenery in the distance is not the same as the one at Lan Jia's house, the speed of the water flow, the altitude, and the location should be about the same.
It wasn't just the flowing water; as the three of us stood there, I also felt an indescribable tranquility.
Previously, to avoid those sea scabies mites, Yiyi and I swam here entirely by brute force, but even when there was no one around, it was never as quiet as it is now.
The place feels eerily quiet right now, almost unsettlingly so.
I looked at the front of the car, and it landed completely on the ground. I even wondered if it was because there was some kind of life-devouring energy in this place that made us like this.
It couldn't possibly be as simple as just stopping. I looked into the driver's eyes, and he seemed worried, as if he had lost track of time and space.
