Chapter 90
The Will-O-W-Fire boys, wearing leather jackets and leather pants, took off their cool silver-gray helmets and whistled at Xingnuo and Shen Baizhou who were wearing little yellow duck helmets.
"Brother, how about it? Cool or not?!"
The will-o'-the-wisp boys next to him shouted in agreement, laughed, and stood in front of Shen Baizhou.
Shen Baizhou got out of the car and took off his helmet. His hair mixed with silver-white hair fell on his forehead and he lazily raised his eyelids.
"What are you doing blocking the road?"
Shen Baizhou didn't take these young men seriously at all.
The only thing he cared about was whether he could continue to ride around the river with his brother. It was the little guy's first time experiencing riding an electric car, and he was obviously not satisfied yet.
Xingnuo also jumped out of the car and took off the little yellow duck helmet that was tightly fastened on his head. His hair was messy. He grabbed his brother's clothes and looked at these teenagers.
The will-o'-the-wisp boy came over, looked at Shen Baizhou's silver-white hair, and exclaimed "Fuck".
"Dude! Your hair is amazing! Where did you get the highlights? It's so even!"
Chen Baizhou's single eyelids drooped, and he didn't seem to want to pay attention to him. After a long while, he slowly replied:
“I was born this way.”
The ghost fire boys obviously didn't believe it, so they got out of the car and surrounded Shen Baizhou.
The Ghost Fire boss looked disdainful and provocative, walked over and hit Shen Bai Zhou hard with his shoulder.
"Oh shit!"
Instead of knocking down Shen Baizhou, the ghost-fire boy hurt his own shoulder.
The eldest of the ghost fire boys grinned for a while, pointing at Shen Baizhou, and anger rushed to the top of his head in an instant.
"Why are you so arrogant? I didn't like you outside the school before. You ride a broken electric bike, do you really think you are so cool?!"
Shen Baizhou still had an expression that showed he didn't bother to care. He said "oh" and pulled Xingnuo behind him.
"Look behind you." Shen Baizhou reminded slowly.
The Ghost Fire boss wanted his brothers to gang up on Shen Baizhou, but before he could even open his mouth, the younger brother next to him poked his shoulder in horror.
"Boss! Look behind you!"
The Will-O-W-O boss suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart. He turned his head quickly and his eyes widened.
At the originally quiet and deserted intersection by the river, a bunch of dilapidated cars suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
The cars were covered in dust, and the blood around them had dried into black, emitting a disgusting stench.
This place must have experienced a series of car crashes. In the car in the middle, through the narrow glass window, you can see a human figure that is almost turned into a skeleton.
The Will-O-Wisp boys had never seen such a scene before, and they all took a step back with panic on their faces.
"What's going on?!"
"There was a traffic accident? That shouldn't happen. There aren't many cars at this intersection!"
"We're not traveling through time! Are we in some apocalyptic horror movie?!"
The riverside path, which was originally a peaceful and tranquil place as autumn deepened, has now become a wide road.
The traffic lights were lying crookedly on the ground, and one of them was strangely still showing a red light. The high-rise buildings next to it all looked dilapidated.
The whole city seemed like an empty dead city.
Xingnuo poked his little head out from behind his brother, took a look at the devastated scene around him, and couldn't help scratching his little face.
"Brother, are we going the wrong way?"
Shen Baizhou picked up the little guy and flicked the small curls on his forehead, his tone as lazy and indifferent as ever.
"You're on the right track. Do you want to take the electric car for a spin?"
Xingnuo was holding his little yellow duck helmet, with an obvious look of excitement on his little face.
"Twist around, the wind blows on your face, it's cool and comfortable!"
In autumn, the sun will shine on your face during the day, and it will be very comfortable to feel the cool breeze.
Moreover, Xingnuo always felt that he could fly by opening his hands while sitting on the electric car.
Chen Baizhou ignored the few ghost-fire boys who were still panicking, carried Xingnuo onto the electric bike, straddled it with his long legs, and turned the handlebars.
"Okay, let's go!"
Excitement returned to Xingnuo's little face. He raised his hands high and tried hard to stick half of his head out from in front of the handlebars.
"Set off!"
An adult and a child rode on electric bikes, swaying around a bunch of cars that were in a chain reaction and began to ride around this strange city.
Before the will-o'-the-wisp boy could figure out anything, he saw Shen Baizhou leaving with his brother, and he couldn't help but look up in the direction they disappeared.
"Boss, what should we do?"
"How about we just ride away as well?"
"It's so dangerous here. I always feel like some horrible monster will pop out in the next second!"
The Ghost Fire Boss was still a minor and had never experienced such a scene. He frowned and snorted coldly.
"Follow that brother-obsessed guy? Don't be ridiculous! How powerful can he be!"
He looks quite cool, but isn't he actually just a high school student who only knows how to play with his younger brother?
"You don't even dare to skip class. You'll only die faster if you follow him!"
After the panic of the Ghost Fire Boss was suppressed, an inexplicable excitement gradually emerged.
Maybe, traveling to this kind of world would be his chance to become the king!
Only in troubled times can his strength be highlighted!
Thinking of this, the Ghost Fire Boss waved his hand and walked in the opposite direction with a few of his brothers.
He is now going to look for opportunities in the city!
***
Shen Baizhou took Xing Nuo and found a secluded road with few cars.
Green willows swaying in the wind are planted on the roadside. The river water is clear and sparkling under the golden sunlight.
Shen Baizhou slowed down so that Xingnuo could see the surrounding scene clearly.
Xingnuo’s little eyes were not enough, so he raised his head to look at the beautiful scenery in front of him and kept exclaiming.
"It's so beautiful, brother, let's go home and bring dad to see it too!"
Shen Baizhou simply stopped, picked up Xingnuo from the car, and took him to the river.
Xingnuo jumped to grab the branches of the willow tree. After touching it, he quickly shared it with his brother.
Shen Baizhou walked slowly behind Xingnuo and watched him run in the sunshine. The wind swayed the little curls and willow branches, and tiny halos of light flashed on Xingnuo's fair face.
Shen Baizhou took out his mobile phone and snapped hundreds of photos in a minute.
Feeling that he had taken a good photo, Shen Baizhou saved it and turned around to call Xingnuo back.
"Xingnuo, let's go! We won't be able to catch up for lunch when we get home later!"
Today's lunch was a table of dishes ordered by Chen Yan at a private restaurant. Chen Baizhou liked the poached chicken the most. Sometimes when Xing Nuo was not around, he could swallow a whole chicken by himself.
Xingnuo nodded, picked up the willow branches that fell on the ground, ran up and held his brother's hand.
"Go back and put it in a vase so that Dad and brother can see it!"
Seeing that he brought a souvenir when he went out to play, Shen Baizhou curved his thin lips and hummed.
The two of them got back on the tram and were about to set off when they heard a tired voice behind them.
"Wait! Wait a minute, the person in front!"
A miserable-looking man stumbled over, and seeing Shen Baizhou in school uniform, he ran forward hurriedly as if he saw a savior.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry! Give me a ride. If I can't catch up with the large group ahead, I'll be finished!"
Shen Baizhou looked up at him indifferently, said "oh", and kicked the man's leg as he was about to climb onto the back seat of the electric bike.
"Why should I give you a ride? Who are you?"
The man’s hair was messy, and he was kicked by Shen Baizhou. He was about to get angry, but when he saw Shen Baizhou’s face, he suddenly remembered something and his eyes showed fear.
"You are the man who has a brother complex! Shen Baizhou!"
When Shen Baizhou saw that he knew him, his expression did not improve at all, and he looked a little impatient.
"Is there something wrong? Who are you...Oh, it's you."
The man was wearing a leather jacket that looked like he had never changed, his face and hair were greasy, and his eyes seemed full of disbelief.
"That's not right, why haven't you changed at all?!"
The man scratched his hair, looked at the little curly-haired girl in front of his car seat, and exclaimed "Fuck" again.
"Why?! Hasn't your time changed?! Why is it only ours that has changed?!"
When Xingnuo heard this, the skinny man who looked like a middle-aged man, scratched his face in confusion.
"Uncle, do you know us?"
Then, Xingnuo spoke to him in a soft and reasonable tone:
"We need to go home. My brother has already taken me, so I can't take you with me."
The man seemed to still be in a trance, looking at Shen Baizhou's still youthful face, and his dyed hair was almost exactly the same as in his memory.
At the beginning, when they, a group of ghost fire teenagers, came to the other world, they did not choose to go with Shen Baizhou, but went in the opposite direction.
The boss took them on a ride, but they never left the city.
After encountering a series of dangerous events, they awakened their superpowers one after another and successfully found the people hiding under the clock tower in the city.
But before they had the chance to become the king, they suddenly discovered that time was speeding up strangely.
Especially when standing still, you can clearly feel the time passing by quickly.
He inexplicably aged more than ten years, as if he had entered middle age without doing anything.
Some of the people who had previously hidden under the clock tower have become very old and have been completely abandoned by the passage of time.
The former will-o'-the-wisp boys gradually realized that something was wrong and noticed the weirdness of the city. They got on their motorcycles and tried to find a way to escape from the city.
But no matter how much they kept moving forward, they were unable to get out of the city, so they had to go back and continue walking in the opposite direction.
The man was unlucky. He had not awakened his special powers. After encountering a man-eating monster, he was the first to be abandoned by the team.
He crawled out covered in blood and tried to catch up with the others in the team ahead.
He absolutely cannot be left behind. If he stays where he is, time will speed up and he will soon become a pile of skeletons!
Just like the skeleton they saw in the car window when they first came to this city!
Only by running forward and outrunning time can we perhaps stop time from passing faster!
Sure enough, within just a few words, the man's hair began to turn white.
He was so panicked that he could only drag his legs forward.
Shen Baizhou looked at the man walking forward, lowered his head to help Xingnuo put on the small helmet, and pressed the electric bike to beep twice.
"Okay, forget about him, we're going home."
Xingnuo hummed twice, revealing two round little eyes and looked forward.
The strange uncle who was running also turned around to look at them, and there seemed to be shock in his eyes.
"Why?! How come nothing happened to you?!"
Xingnuo didn't quite understand this strange uncle. After passing him on the tram, he turned his head and said:
"Uncle, you should go home soon! It's time for lunch."
The man who was called uncle was dazed for a moment and wondered how come it was already lunch time?
Haven't they been together for more than ten years?
As time goes by, their memories have also increased by more than ten years.
But if you think about it carefully, you will find that these ten years are so empty and have no content at all.
Shen Baizhou honked the horn of his electric bike twice, passed the ghost fire uncle, turned around, and spoke in a calm tone:
"You can't outrun time."
The uncle’s eyes widened, and his eyeballs seemed to be about to pop out of their sockets!
"You know! You know everything, don't you? Why, don't you leave? Tell me what's going on?!"
Shen Baizhou did not stop. He took his brother to see the scenery of the city and prepared to go back home.
The tram was moving slowly and even though it was not going very fast, it still caught up with the group of people in front.
There were men and women in the crowd in front. The former ghost-fire boy had become an uncle and was running forward without stopping.
The motorcycle had run out of gas long ago, so they could only rely on their own two legs to try to get out of the city.
Seeing Shen Baizhou riding the tram, the former Ghost Fire Boy Boss had the idea of snatching it away, but then he saw his face and couldn't help being shocked.
"Shen Baizhou?! You haven't changed?!"
With a ferocious look on his face, the Will-O-W-O uncle's roar made everyone turn their heads and stare at the small electric car.
