Chapter 9 Small Fish
Chapter 9 Small Fish
Once inside the car, the driver, Chu Tianjiao, was even wilder than Su An had imagined.
"The drivers on this road are all cowards; they can't even cut in line properly..."
Chu Tianjiao gripped the steering wheel of the Maybach, driving this multi-million dollar toy recklessly through the rain-soaked traffic.
Su An thought of a phrase, "like a fish in water." On the highway in the pouring rain, Chu Tianjiao, who was driving this Maybach, was the most agile fish, easily dragging his tail and splashing the water, leaving all other cars behind and eating his car's tail.
Su An sat in the back seat, silently observing the strange atmosphere between the father and son. The complicated family relationship, the father's superb driving skills and slightly rough-and-tumble,江湖 (jianghu, a term referring to the world of martial arts and chivalry) air—Su An felt that Chu Tianjiao was a bizarre combination of Stephen Chow, Lu Zhishen, and Vincent Chiao.
What's even stranger is that he is the lion that Gojo Satoru mentioned?
But besides his beer belly and big physique, what about this uncle does he have to do with a lion?
Since boarding the bus, Chu Tianjiao's mouth hadn't stopped, talking about everything under the sun, from choosing a university to the braised pork intestines on Central Street, while Chu Zihang remained completely silent, stubbornly sticking to his guns. If Chu Tianjiao was a talkative lion, then Chu Zihang was undoubtedly a silent lion, Su An thought to himself.
For some reason, Gojo Satoru also disappeared.
He's usually always talking non-stop at this time, so why has he disappeared?
The rain outside the window grew wider and wider, with a dense curtain of water cascading down from the car's side window mirrors.
An unfamiliar, chilly aura seeped in from the cracks in the car door, causing Su An to shiver involuntarily.
His intuition told him—something seemed off about the weather.
"Knock knock"
A series of knocking sounds came from the roof of the car, the rhythmic knocking seemingly directed at Su An.
Su An looked up and saw that Gojo Satoru had reappeared at some point. He was hanging upside down from the sunroof of the car. Despite being in the sunroof of a steel flying car traveling at hundreds of kilometers per hour, he still looked as relaxed as if he were on vacation!
"There are two pieces of news, one good and one bad. Which would you like to hear first?"
"Bad news."
"The bad news is, you're surrounded by an extremely powerful monster and his minions."
Su An swallowed subconsciously, then asked blankly, "And the good news?"
Gojo Satoru's lips curled into a smile, and he crossed his arms: "I'll kill them all for you."
Just as Su An was about to press for more information, he suddenly turned his head and pricked up his ears.
He thought he heard a knocking sound, right beside him?
"Bang bang"
Once, twice.
"Bang, bang"
The dull knocking on the car window continued in a peculiar rhythm, but this was a Maybach speeding at over 100 miles per hour, so fast that even the fine rain couldn't keep up with its rear end. What could possibly be knocking on the car window at this time?
Su An looked around and finally saw what was knocking on the door!
Those were streaks of black, bat-like shadows, running parallel to the car at speeds exceeding 100 miles per hour.
There were more than a dozen illusory figures, staring at their prey inside the car with bloodthirsty smiles.
Through the reflection in the car window, Su An noticed that her pupils had unknowingly turned blue again.
Bluer than the sky, more dazzling than the stars, what brilliant sky-blue eyes they were.
The world had never been so clear to him. He saw the friction of the tires, the falling rain, the splashing water. He saw the black shadows outside the window, their intent to attack!
They intend to smash the car windows!
We must speed things up!
"Uncle Chu, speed up, speed up!"
Su An roared.
Without hesitation, Chu Tianjiao shifted gears and stepped on the gas. The Maybach's engine power began to surge as the clutch was redistributed, propelling it forward with terrifying force.
Su An and Chu Zihang were pressed firmly against their seats by a powerful shoving force. Su An struggled to turn his head and saw the resentful scratch marks left by the dark shadows on the rear edge of the car window. If the car had been any slower, the people inside would have been in trouble.
Suddenly, Chu Zihang curled up in pain.
His eyes turned into a golden hue, like candlelight.
Chu Tianjiao drove at a crazy speed to escape the pursuit of what was behind him, and even had the leisure to light a cigarette for himself.
Su An followed Chu Tianjiao's expression closely and asked, "Uncle Chu, you don't seem surprised at all."
With a casual drift, Chu Tianjiao knocked away the pursuing black phantom. After exhaling a smoke ring, he said, "This should be your first time using Spirit Vision. Did you see any illusions? Incomprehensible lines, the sound of ancient bronze bells, cities piercing the clouds... In short, if you saw anything like that, it means one important thing—you are hybrids, and you're on a pirate ship with no way out."
phantom?
Su An thought of the white-haired man named Gojo Satoru. Angers and Tasia had also mentioned the illusion of spiritual vision, but Su An felt that Gojo Satoru was not an illusion at all, but rather a real monster. Subconsciously, Su An concealed the existence of Gojo Satoru.
"Zihang truly lives up to his reputation as my son. His golden eyes shine brighter than the spotlights at Kassel College, and his bloodline is undeniably awesome, enough to shock those old fogies. As for you... Zihang's friend, Su..."
"Su An"
Su An repeated his name. Damn it, this uncle had been chatting with him for so long and didn't even know his name.
"Su An, yes, Su An, your bloodline is very strange."
Chu Tianjiao looked at the pair of bright blue eyes in the rearview mirror, pondering with puzzlement.
"Generally speaking, they should be golden. A color like gold, as dazzling as the sun, I've never seen a mixed-race person with such bright blue eyes before..."
Suddenly, Su An's pupils dilated as he saw a blurry figure hundreds of meters away rushing towards him at an extremely fast speed outside the window.
They were whispering, and the whispers grew louder and louder until they burst into unrestrained laughter.
Su An spotted their attack direction again!
It's the left rear tire; they're going to attack the tire!
"Watch out for the left rear tire!"
Chu Tianjiao didn't hesitate at all. Under his control, the Maybach was as agile as a dog, making one smooth and continuous turn after another that was terrifying enough to shock F1 drivers. The left rear tire was saved.
Chu Tianjiao looked at Su An's eyes again in surprise, as if his understanding of him had been completely refreshed.
"What kind of bloodline is this? A-rank? S-rank? Above S-rank?"
The phantoms multiplied, and Su An sensed their deep hatred for him from their whispers. They repeatedly pounded on the car window, the dim reflection on the water distorting the light through the window, making the shadows outside look like demons from ancient mythology from inside the car.
"They are all very weak."
Gojo Satoru had remained silent until now, and only then did he say something in a cheeky tone:
"Those shadows are just lowly fry who trade corruption for power; kill them all when we get out."
Kill them all?
Su An looked up in confusion and found that Gojo Satoru's blue eyes were staring at him, meaning that "Go out and kill them all" was directed at him.
—A soft pop.
The car window shattered, and a foul-smelling wind rushed into the cabin. Accompanied by a shrill roar, blood-red and ink-black shadows broke through the window and crashed into the Maybach!
