If that guy were here, I would never need to worry about transportation costs.
When I went to Cuiping Mountain before, Luo Tianhe hired a car for me.
Even though the old master craftsman charged us again later, it didn't cause us any major danger.
Moreover, that master craftsman was just like Lao Liu now; they were both highly skilled.
I think paying for the technology was worthwhile, especially since the pendant he gave me came in very handy later on.
Just like the flashlight and gloves that Lao Liu gave us.
In particular, this pocket watch plays a huge role inside the body. Without Lao Liu's thing, we probably would never have discovered that the flow of time inside is different from that outside.
I felt around in my backpack again, and now I clearly saw the flashlight and pocket watch—the items Lao Liu had given us before.
The only thing I don't quite understand is this glove. It doesn't look special, except that it's a bit old.
The only time I used this thing was when I first entered Fatty Zhou's place, when I wanted to use this glove to wipe off the dust.
Aside from that, the gloves serve no other purpose.
But I always felt that there was still a trace of energy left in that worn-out glove, which was the unique energy of Old Liu.
I glanced at him, and realized that Lao Liu had already started driving before I even agreed to the price.
In other words, it seemed as if he had some uncanny ability to guess that I would definitely ride in his car.
Since this Lao Liu doesn't have any malicious intent, he can definitely be my partner.
Or rather, he is now one of the most familiar living people to us in this shallow layer.
It seems that Boss He and Fatty Zhou have already become ghosts.
Boss He relied on that unwavering determination, which lingered for a long time, transforming into a thick fog that would sometimes gather and sometimes disperse.
As for Fatty Zhou, although I don't know how he died, I guess it was something similar. But at least Fatty Zhou can still do business here, which means that his hotel is also involved in this kind of shady business.
Old Liu was a driver who had connections to both the legal and illegal worlds, having transported both living and dead people.
In places like the lower classes, especially for drivers or mail carriers who come into contact with many people from both sides of society, building good relationships with them will generally lead to good fortune.
The energy emanating from Lao Liu, to be precise, couldn't really be called energy; it was more like a kind of virtue that slowly emanated from him, which made me feel that he was quite extraordinary.
I think that a normal driver, if we were on land or in a young girl's manor, would never come to accompany us on this adventure.
Or rather, it was a death sentence, but Lao Liu went with us, which was undoubtedly due to financial reasons.
But if it was just for money, why would he rush over to pick us up after seeing the information about our flashlight, when we already had no money left?
"80 it is!"
I agreed, but told him I would pay later, since we didn't have any cash on hand right now.
Old Liu readily agreed, perhaps because he didn't think we were short of money at all.
With a hum, the engine roared to life, and Lao Liu's speed remained the same, as fast as ever.
Just like the speed at which he walked away back then.
After walking for nearly ten minutes, we entered a very winding and twisting path.
It was during those ten minutes that I truly understood what a seasoned driver is.
That 200 yuan was well spent.
For a normal driver, this route would probably take more than an hour, but with Lao Liu's speed and skill, he arrived in just over ten minutes.
"Brother, I feel like this driver, Mr. Liu, has some kind of magic about his car, especially the changes in the scenery outside, look!"
The girl tugged at my clothes and said it in a low voice.
I looked out the window as she suggested, and indeed, the road outside was winding and twisting, but the speed of change was quite rapid!
It felt like the speed of a car when you're usually riding in a car, at a speed that's about the same as the speed in a square.
I was about to roll down the window, but Lao Liu stopped me immediately.
"Put your hand down!"
"how?"
"I have the air conditioning on!"
Old Liu spoke very quickly, but something felt off to me.
I looked in the direction he was pointing, and the air conditioner was indeed on, but I didn't feel particularly cool.
But just as I looked at the speedometer on his car, I discovered that it showed an "x"!
Holy crap?
What the heck is X?
"Master, this car is definitely going over 100 miles per hour!"
The lightning sword was shouting in my head.
I felt a chill run down my spine. This lightning sword user's perception was even stronger than mine; he was very sensitive to these kinds of changes.
In other words, he said it was 100 miles per hour, and the fluctuation would basically not exceed ten miles per hour.
We're on a path now, and as I look ahead, the sky is clear and the sun has already risen a little.
As the sun rose, we sped up, and the surrounding scenery changed rapidly.
This old Liu, his car is really something!
Looking at him now, this Old Liu is a completely different person from the one we met before, who was timid and hesitant in the thick fog!
As for his mention of turning on the air conditioner, I suspect it was just because he didn't want us to open the windows.
Opening the window at this time will cause the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the car to increase suddenly.
I guess Old Liu was probably thinking about our safety.
"Master Liu, your skills are excellent!"
"Hmph, you don't need to flatter me. I've been around here a lot, and everyone around me has seen it. Let me tell you the truth, if you open the window right now, we'll be sucked out! Our heads will be smashed to pieces!"
Hearing what Lao Liu said, I broke out in a cold sweat.
Holy crap, is it that serious?
Looking at the girl next to him, he saw that she had also wanted to open the window, but she immediately withdrew her finger that had been pressing on the window.
"Master is alright. We listened to Old Liu just now, otherwise we would be finished."
Lei Jijian also felt a great sense of relief at this moment.
I couldn't help but admire Old Liu; he was quite frank and didn't beat around the bush with us.
Indeed, he's been running around in these shallow areas for a long time, and he must have seen all sorts of monsters and demons.
It's even possible that they've experienced threats to their personal safety, just like Fatty Zhou.
However, Old Liu is still alive and well.
I'm genuinely amazed that they're still alive and well, driving a taxi here!
