Chapter 274
At the same time, Liu Ye returned to Rose Apartment. At the entrance, the driver hummed while polishing a vehicle with a rag.
“We common folk are so happy today~ We common folk are so happy today~”
“Brother!”
“Oh, you’re back!”
For once, the driver welcomed Liu Ye with a smile.
Liu Ye nearly thought he had seen a ghost. Then he noticed the vehicle by the entrance. It was a van whose exterior the driver had polished until it gleamed brightly enough to blind someone.
But was it his imagination, or was the van trembling?
“Brother, did you buy this?”
“Yep. Thanks to you, the bank forgave my loan. A dealership has also been selling used vehicles lately. A van originally worth a hundred thousand could be bought for fifty thousand.”
“Wow, Brother! You had fifty thousand?” Liu Ye exclaimed.
“No. I got this one for fifty.”
He could not help it. In the Fiendish World, he was broke too.
Liu Ye: “…”
“Brother, are you sure this is secondhand and not twentieth-hand?”
“Who cares how many owners it’s had? It runs.”
The driver grew stern.
“I’m warning you. Stay away from my beloved van. It wasn’t easy to get. If you break it, I… I can’t do anything to you, but I can strongly condemn, denounce, and despise you!”
Liu Ye: “…”
“I understand, Brother. Don’t you trust me? By the way, it’s so chaotic outside. Are you all right?”
“Why wouldn’t we be? But you’d better check on your little friends. They’re in bad shape.”
The man called Liu Sibo was truly formidable. His Fiend Domain could directly stir the darkness in human hearts and breed Fiends from within their bodies!
Those Fiends differed from ordinary Chang Ghosts. Every one could grow. They hunted humans across the city, accumulating immense Yin energy. The dense fog had formed from the Yin energy they released.
Huicheng was now a gigantic prison. No one inside could leave, and no one outside could enter. Of course, there probably were not many living people left inside anyway.
Liu Ye immediately became worried.
“Brother, can you drive me there?”
“Drive you? Forget it. You’ll never ride in my vehicle again.”
The earlier disaster remained vivid in his mind. He swore never to let Liu Ye into his vehicle again.
The driver turned inside to fetch polish. When he came back out carrying the bottle, something seemed to be missing from the courtyard.
What was missing?
“My van!”
He rushed outside and saw Liu Ye driving away in his beloved vehicle.
“When did that little bastard learn to drive? Wait! Liu Ye, come back! I’ll take you! Come back! My van! How can I live without you? My van!”
The driver chased frantically behind him.
Inside the van, Liu Ye was deeply moved. Brother Driver often spoke harshly, but he had a soft heart. He might have said he would not lend it, but to Liu Ye, his actions clearly said otherwise. Liu Ye had seen elders act like that in the movies Ah Biao gave him.
As for how he drove away, the van had started moving by itself the moment he climbed in.
For some reason, its steering wheel looked familiar.
The van: “…”
Of course it looked familiar. The vehicle never imagined that even after changing its appearance, it would meet Liu Ye again!
Back then, it had been a bus that roamed freely, traveling the roads with its owner every day. Then Liu Ye boarded it…
After that journey, only its chassis remained. The Fiendish Item Repair Shop used what was left to build this van. It had expected a new life, only to discover that its damn new life still involved Liu Ye!
But what else could it do? Run.
Liu Ye felt his driving had improved. The ride was much smoother than when he drove the bus. Perhaps he could become a taxi driver.
On the street ahead stood an ugly female Fiend. She saw a vehicle approaching from afar.
An ugly smile appeared on her face.
She was the Crash-Scam Fiend. Every vehicle that encountered her had to stop and pay, or it would be wrecked and its occupants killed.
Several private cars lay overturned beside her, with blood everywhere. Clearly, their occupants had refused to pay and died.
“Another one!”
She expertly lay down and waited. She did not fear being struck. How could a mighty Fiend be hurt by a human vehicle…
Bang!
The Crash-Scam Fiend rolled several times over the van, then landed with a splat.
Liu Ye climbed out, looked around, and said in terror,
“Did I hit someone?”
“Obviously! There’s a huge Fiend right here! Are you blind?!”
The Crash-Scam Fiend painfully used the van to pull herself up, only to see Liu Ye turn and climb back inside.
“You’re fleeing the scene!”
The van immediately reversed.
“Damn it! You’re not just fleeing; you want to kill the witness… Aah!”
Splat! Rumble, tumble.
Liu Ye stuck his head from the window and rapidly scanned the area.
“Strange. I clearly heard someone. Why is nobody here?”
The Crash-Scam Fiend lay beneath the van, painfully pounding the chassis.
Hearing the noise, Liu Ye grew more confused and drove in circles. He was a responsible good person and would never evade responsibility.
The van circled while the Fiend screamed beneath it. Most infuriatingly, Liu Ye kept shouting,
“Where are you?”
“Don’t be afraid! I’m a good person!”
“Say something so I can save you!”
Bullshit!
The Crash-Scam Fiend began crying. A vicious criminal! This man was definitely ruthless!
Her crying made Liu Ye even more frantic. The van swung around and drifted away.
“You’re even drifting! Damn you… ****”
At last, the van could bear no more. Two components extended beneath its chassis and flung the Crash-Scam Fiend out.
Only then did Liu Ye see her. He hurried over.
“Ma’am! Good heavens, why did you crawl under the van? You’re far too mischievous.”
The Crash-Scam Fiend was stunned. Was he saying she had crawled under there seeking death?
On second thought, she truly had courted death by targeting this monster.
Then her body shifted, and she discovered Liu Ye trying to carry her like a princess.
She became terrified. Had he not had enough? Did he want to take her home and continue playing?
And why carry her like a princess? What kind of depraved taste was this? She looked like this after being run over, and he still wanted her?
“Ma’am, you’re too old to cause this much worry. Lying in the road in broad daylight! You’re lucky you met me. I’m kindhearted. Anyone else would have hit you and fled.”
The Crash-Scam Fiend: “…”
She would rather he had fled.
