Chapter 4 The Three Laws of Taxi
"THE·CHE" is in the dark void, and there is no reference object around it. You can only feel forward through the slightly shaking speedometer and the slight bumps from the seat. The navigation software still shows "Please keep going straight", because of this, Zhao Mai can calm down and listen to the old man.
"I serve an organization with the purpose of opening up channels between the world and promoting peaceful exchanges. Your identity is a driver. Only when you meet a few conditions can you enter this transition plane and travel safely."
"First, this car can only be started by you as a driver, and you can only drive this car to cross."
"Second, you also need navigation on your phone, otherwise you won't see the entrance and exit."
"Third, tolls can only be paid with Fate Gold Coins, and nothing else can do. Different worlds have different prices, and this is not included in the fare."
Zhao Mai immediately had a problem in his mind: "Will I not even go back without gold coins? How can I find gold coins?"
The old man had long anticipated that he had this question, so he took out a gold coin from the iron box and threw it on the front seat again. "When you hold the gold coin, you can feel the existence of other gold coins. Other times, these gold coins appear in various forms of currency. A free reminder to you that there are very few gold coins on earth, and it is not cost-effective to find them."
"Why?"
After sighing heavily, the old man said helplessly: "In the Dharma-Ending Age, things that belong to magic cannot be created, and they will only become less and less."
Another reason is that more and more people traveling through time, right? Zhao Mai changed this idea, but only a fool would say it.
"As long as you still have the gold coins of fate, your mobile phone and car are indestructible. I mean that entities, energy and mortal rules cannot destroy cars and mobile phones. But you are still as fragile as before."
Zhao Mai rolled his eyes, it seemed that there might be no more time traveling to become superhuman.
"Your mobile phone will save driving records and you can add destinations with voice." The old man loosened the buttons of the seat belt and placed the metal box on his knees.
Through the reflector, Zhao Mai saw the old man take off his handcuffs, open the box, and search through it. Then he heard a bang, as thick as "Cihai·Shrink Print Version", which could be used as an enlarged brick to knock people to the point of bleeding.
"This book will teach you the common language, which is considered a cheaper price for you."
"How long will it take for me to learn this!" Zhao Mai immediately felt that he had no hope. To be honest, when he arrived in a strange place, it would be hard to move forward if he didn't speak the local language. Even if he used body language, he didn't understand the local customs. Who knew whether to reach out to express his hand to shake hands friendly or to cast a terrible necromancer?
"It depends on your understanding, but having is better than not." The old man did not feel responsible in his tone at all, but just said to himself: "How many people don't want this opportunity yet. You are much luckier than those who need to go to work (when I talk about it, the old man's tone is quite stiff, and I don't know why)."
"Don't you have to pay the money?"
"No need." The old man hesitated for a moment and said, "You can only be considered part-time, so it is much more difficult to go out of your own path than others, but the advantage is that no matter what you get, it belongs to you."
"Then the benefits outweigh the disadvantages." Zhao Mai was about to ask how the car fee should be calculated when he heard the prompt from the navigation software.
"Go to the destination, please drive down."
Zhao Mai pushed the steering wheel, and the car shook slightly, and a slight sense of weightlessness suddenly appeared. "Isn't it not affected by the outside world? Why do you feel this way?"
As soon as I asked this sentence, the scenery in front of me changed drastically. The black void suddenly disappeared, and what appeared in front of me was a country formed by white clouds, covering the entire field of view. There were tall golden and blue buildings, with walls and castles on the tops, and some blurred glowing bodies were flying around the building. Light orange rivers were intertwined, and what flowed inside might be honey. Green orchards were dotted around the building, and a group of black and red...
Black and red? Zhao Mai was about to see clearly, but he found himself falling head-on toward the clouds, and his speed was constantly accelerating. This was much more exciting than a roller coaster. At least the roller coaster had tracks, and he was absolutely unrestrained! The car kept spinning in the air, and Zhao Mai was tightly tied to the seat belt. He had long known what was up, down, left and right. The phone navigation kept ringing: "Please stop when you arrive near the destination."
With a brake, the car stopped turning in the air. Although the scenery of heaven and earth no longer rotated, the falling speed did not slow down at all. It was not easy to lose weight simply, but Zhao Mai no longer cared about it. Now his mind was filled with scenes that often appear in cartoons: something fell down, hit the ground, and turned into two-dimensional wreckage with a snap.
"Don't worry, indestructible is not a lie to you." The old man seemed to know what Zhao Mai was worried about, so he reached out from the back row and patted his shoulder.
"Ahhhh! Why are your hands glowing? Ah! My shoulders are so hot!" Zhao Mai trembled and shouted.
"This is the fare I paid for. If I have the chance in the future, I hope we can meet again."
When the car was freely falling in the air, Zhao Mai couldn't say anything tough. The white clouds were getting closer and closer to him, and he could already see what those luminous and black and red dots were.
The angels would shine. They slapped their wings and held up their light scepters, competing with the invading devil. Their speed was too fast, and afterimages appeared in sight. With Zhao Mai's eyes, they could only take a few glances at the moment they stopped. But even so, he could not distinguish the appearance of the angel and the devil.
The hazy light curtain was like a veil, covering the face of the angel, and the appearance of the devil was surrounded by black smoke. Under the heads that were invisible, they were all the same without armor, and their toned and exposed bodies were covered with scars. However, one of them was golden light flowing out of the wound, and the other was black mud.
The taxi fell from the sky and hit a building equipped with a spire. As they approached, Zhao Mai clearly saw the rainbow-colored light curtain shield appear and then was directly shattered. Although he didn't know what material this tower was made of, it was guaranteed to build to a height of about 40 meters, which was guaranteed in terms of solidity. But such a tower was shattered like glass after being hit by a taxi.
The speed of the car is decreasing, which means that the impact has an impact on the car, but through the window, there is no scar on the body of the car. This is not the most magical. Zhao Mai was so nervous that he thought he would die of the impact, at least he would be knocked by the airbag. But in the driver's seat, he could not feel any impact from the outside.
He only has the feeling of normal brake slowing down.
The main tower was cut off in half, and the car drew a straight diagonal line like a meteor to continue moving forward. As it approached the ground, the front of the car was slightly raised, and the four wheels were gently tapped on the clouds at the same time, and the car stopped smoothly.
A red devil who had just slaughtered the four-winged angel was not far from the car. He pulled out a machete from the angel's chest, and the flames "sky" enveloped its entire body.
