Chapter 1523: Dream Broken in Qiming (2)
About ten minutes later.
Mutt looked at the steel monster in front of him in a daze. The cat man's eyes sparkled, and he was fascinated by this handsome steel monster full of metallic texture.
Knock knock. Albert patted the Iron Rider's engine, "Meow, really, this thing almost burned down last night." Just rest for a night and it will fix itself?"
However, when the key of the Tiger Bar was inserted into the keyhole of the Iron Rider, the Iron Rider let out the steady roar it deserved, as always. Everything is working fine.
"Human technology is really advanced. Albert exclaimed.
Then he saw that Mut was still in a daze, so he frowned and asked, "You kid are still grinding meows?" "
"Hmm...... At this time, Muter's kitten's face flushed: "I want to sit in the front row and try it...... "
"Hey, I didn't look interested in the iron rider just now, but now I want to sit in the front row and watch the scenery?"
"Long-winded...... "The cat man boy turned his face away and ignored Albert.
"Okay. The tiger smirked: "You're just a little bit." Having you sit in the front doesn't affect my driving in the slightest. Come on. "
Mutt sat on the iron horse with a helpless expression. Then, Albert jumped on the gravity-defying airship and wrapped his arms around Mutter's back from behind the cat-man boy, pressing his hands on the two joysticks of the Iron Rider.
"Tsk, it's still a bit of a way. When Albert sat down like this, he found that Mutter's height was just near his neck, and that the tiger's neck was tickled by Mutter's hair, so he urged: "Bow down and shrink as far down as you can." I don't want to cause us to crash because of you. "
"Got it...... The cat-man boy hunched over, his chest almost pressed against the dashboard of the Iron Rider: "But what do you think of the dashboard?"
"Don't look at it. That thing is just a flight recorder, and it doesn't matter if you don't look at it while driving. Albert is learning and selling, copying what Hall taught him yesterday: "The most important thing about driving a horse is the driver's personal judgment, and it has nothing to do with the data on the dashboard. "
Unexpectedly, Mutter instantly debunked Albert: "My intuition tells me that this sentence is definitely not your own creation." "
"Oh hahaha-" Albert chuckled as he stepped on the accelerator of the Iron Rider.
Boom! The giant steel monster sped out at once - even though they were still in the underground parking lot. The Tiger's Iron Rider almost crashed into the nearby car, but fortunately Albert was quick to turn, and the Iron Rider drifted and slid before it could hit the other car, and its tail only scratched a slight scratch on the wall of the nearby parking lot!
"Slow down, slow down!!" Mutter panicked: "Do you want to crash all the cars in the parking lot?!"
"Meow ha, it's okay!" Albert continued to drive the iron horse out despite Mutter's protests. Fortunately, it is now more than four o'clock in the morning, close to five o'clock, and there are no cars in and out of the parking lot at this time, so letting the iron horse driven by the tiger go on a rampage, it will not cause much safety accident.
Whoosh—— a silver shadow roared out of the parking lot, blowing away the hat of the guard at the parking lot gate.
"Wow...... Gustalei ran over a little awkwardly to pick up his hat, and Albert's slightly arrogant laugh could be heard in the distance: "That's ...... Mr. Albert?...... And Mutt?"
A drop of cold sweat broke out on the forehead of Tiger Man Gusta: "Forget it...... I didn't see anything...... "
"Whoa, whoa, a
"It's so noisy, you can't be quiet. Albert felt that all the interest in driving the Iron Knights had been swept away by the imp.
"Can't you drive slower?!" said Mutter angrily. The howling wind swept in his face, distorting the face of the cat-man boy a little. He was even a little worried that the whiskers on his face would be torn off by the gust of wind......
"No! just keep it up!" Albert said stubbornly, "I said it was my morning exercise, and you insisted on coming along, and now you have an opinion?" Believe it or not, I'll kick you off here!"
Mutt glanced at the ground below. As soon as the Iron Rider flew out of the underground parking lot, he quickly climbed up, and was now at least five hundred feet in the air, and the mere sight of this height made the cat man dizzy.
"Uhh......h I think I'm going to throw up...... "
"Okay, good, good!!" Albert was really afraid that Mutt would vomit on the iron horse, so he quickly slowed down his speed and let the iron horse levitate in the air at a slow speed: "I'm afraid of you, take a rest first!"
"Oh-" Mutter swallowed back the urge to vomit that almost reached his throat, and after a sigh of relief, he continued, "It's not good for your health to do this kind of strenuous exercise just after breakfast. "
"You've come here to teach me a lesson. The tiger pinched the face of the cat man boy: "Okay, stinky boy." Turn around and take a look at this. "
"What?"
Mutter followed Albert's pinching of his face and turned his head to look. Just by this glance, the cat man boy froze.
The time was 5:10 a.m.
Although they had not yet reached the true time of sunrise, they were able to see the sunrise at this height, under the refraction of the wall of the world that had changed to transparency in the distance to the east.
In the distant sky, on the eastern part of the Red Sea, in the haze, a golden fireball rose up. Its dazzling red glow dyed the surrounding sky crimson, drawing countless layers of glow on the clouds, and casting countless sparkling dots on the surface of the sea. All this is so beautiful, but also so poignant, the sunrise in the east should represent infinite hope, but it is projected an inexplicable emotion in Mutter's heart at this moment.
"When was the last time you watched the sunrise like this?" asked Albert casually.
"...... Never. The cat-man boy replied in a low voice, "Let's not say that I used to live in a slum, and my vision is not so good...... Even when I can, I will be busy making breakfast and exercising in the morning...... Never looked up at a sunrise like this. "
"Then you should relax a little more. Albert advised: "Do you really want to dedicate all your life to working for the Sphinx?" You're missing out on a lot of good things like this, know meow. "
The cat-man boy was silent. At this time, a cold wind blew in the sky, as if it was precisely because the heat of the sun accelerated the convection of the air after sunrise, forming this inexplicable cold current. Mutt subconsciously shrank and bowed lower.
"Huh...... Albert also took advantage of the situation to hold the kitten with one hand to keep warm, "fluffy and soft, like a pillow~"
"Let go of me, you pervert. "
"Just a little while. Albert said lazily.
Mutt blushed, but didn't resist. After all, no one wants to shiver alone in this cold wind. Albert's body temperature came through the hug, like a tiger skin coat draped over the cat-man boy's body, warm and comfortable.
It didn't seem too bad to him.
"Listen. Albert whispered, almost blowing softly into the cat boy's ear, "Whether it's the trials of the Knights of the Round Table or the Super Bowl of Dark American soccer, I don't know where I can go." But I'll keep trying. It doesn't have to be for yourself, it could be for you. When it's all over, please, can you stop playing on this kind of team? This kind of life is not for you. This kind of sport of fighting and killing every day, using your own body to fight against your opponent, will one day kill you. "
"So what do you want me to do?" Mutter snorted in a low voice, "I have no place but here." I don't know how to do anything other than American football. Do I have to starve to death alone in a foreign land?"
"Come with me. Albert advised, "I can take you back to Melson Stone, the settlement of the Cat People." It's your kind there, and no one will discriminate against you or trouble you. You're a good cook and you've worked as a handboy in a hotel, so it's not hard to find a job there that makes ends meet, right? It's better than you doing chores for the Sphinx for free in a place like this. He has no reason and no right to keep you as his spiritual slave. "
"Did you lie to me just to tell me this?" said Mutt, a little upset.
"I didn't lie to you. You said you were going for a ride. Albert said, "You already knew I was going to tell you such a thing." If you don't want to hear it, you won't give me any chance to mention this kind of thing in the first place, right?"
The cat-man boy was silent. Although emotionally full of resistance, he could not deny in his heart that Albert's statement was correct to some extent.
Perhaps Mutter himself longed for freedom, or perhaps he was tired of it all and wanted to leave.
Maybe it's really worth a try, and when it's all over, he should go with Albert......
Whoosh—— a violent gust of wind interrupted Mutter's thoughts. When he looked up to see the situation, he realized that it was an anti-gravity airship whizzing by, and it was so close to Albert's iron rider that he almost collided with them.
"Hey!How do you all meow!!" Albert was also shocked into a cold sweat, and cursed loudly, "You guys who don't have long eyes, do you really want to die?!"
The whistling airship pilot certainly wouldn't respond to Albert. It's been a long way since the airship flew out.
"Damn bastard!" Albert continued to curse with a big grin, "Driving the turtle grandson who doesn't even have eyes, I really want you to crash right away!"
"Stop arguing!" Mutter interrupted, "Look, what's that?"
"That's—" Albert narrowed his eyes and saw a point of light in the distance. Is it a star? The sun is not too bright yet, and it is indeed possible that the distant stars have not been overshadowed......
"No! it's an attack!!" Mutter pushed the lever with all his might, and the Iron Rider twisted a thirty-degree sharp turn!
Whoosh! The light bullets have been flying overhead Albert's head!
