Chapter 44: The Poor Scavenger
"Very useful, Miss Misty."
“…… Probably. ”
Of course, the second half of the sentence was just spoken in Shirahoshi's heart, and after chatting with Misty, he had a strange feeling that he couldn't put it into words.
"Huh? Shirahoshi, you're still there. ”
At this time, Rebecca, who had just finished talking to Victor, came out of the basement.
"I'm also idle, so why don't you do a divination here, are you done talking to Lao Wei?" Shirahoshi said as he looked at Rebecca.
"When we're done talking, are you going back?"
"It just so happens that I'm done here, so let's go back."
The two of them left Misty's divination shop together and came out on the main road.
"Now, Shirahoshi—"
Rebecca was about to say something when Shirahoshi's gaze was drawn to her call, and he turned his head to look at Rebecca.
Just then, Rebecca saw a car rushing towards her.
Looking like that, I didn't want to brake at all.
So the words that came to Rebecca's lips became a careful sentence.
In the blink of an eye, before she could finish her reminder, the white star disappeared in front of her eyes in an instant.
"Huh? White Star? What about Shirahoshi!? ”
Rebecca hurriedly looked left and right, and she saw the crashing car gradually moving away from the other direction.
"That's ......"
Her electronic eyes clearly saw that there seemed to be a figure lying on the roof of the car.
"Hmm, I'm so full......"
A man slowly walked out of a nearby restaurant, groping his stomach, walked to a motorcycle parked on the side of the road, straddled it, and started to leave.
"I'm sorry."
"What-"
The man only felt that there was suddenly a little girl in front of him, and then he was hit the face.
Rebecca put away the pistol she had used to smash the man, then jumped onto the bike with both hands on her hands.
Once seated, she put both hands on the front grips.
"Hmm...... I remember using it that way......"
Buzz~
After turning, the sound of the engine suddenly sounded from the inside of the motorcycle under her.
After a few simple laps of rubbing between the two tires and the ground, Rebecca and the motorcycle turned into an arrow off the string.
The man who was knocked to the ground also reacted at this time, but by the time he got up, Rebecca had already fled more than ten meters away.
He could only pull his throat and say incompetently and angrily: "Mud Male, don't let Lao Tzu catch you!" Otherwise, I'll eat you alive!" ”
"There's a chance to pay you back—"
Rebecca said a casual nonsense, and the motorcycle she was driving was getting faster and faster, and the whirring wind blew her little face out of shape.
"Wait, this thing...... It's a little too fast, isn't it?"
"Phew, scared me to death, but luckily I reacted fast enough, oh no, fortunately my "Platinum Star" reacted quickly enough......"
At this time, Shirahoshi climbed on the roof of the car and just took a breath when he heard a shout from behind.
Turning her head to glance, she saw that a certain irascible Lori was chasing after her side on a motorcycle that clearly did not match her size.
"This guy, I'm so impulsive all the time, I'm really afraid that something will happen......" Bai Xing couldn't help but cover his head and complain.
And in the next second, Rebecca's motorcycle seemed to have hit something, and the pebble-like object on the ground made Rebecca's motorcycle tremble violently.
Coupled with the high speed, Rebecca suddenly lost control of the car, and the tail of the motorcycle cocked, throwing Rebecca's small body directly away.
"I should have shut up......"
Shirahoshi watched this scene a little speechlessly, and he sighed slightly, using his stand-in ability.
"Platinum Star! Stop the time! ”
As soon as the time stopped, Shirahoshi struggled with both hands, and his body suddenly bounced off the car cover.
After reaching out to catch Rebecca with both hands, Shirahoshi returned to the car cover.
He looked at the time around him that was still stopped, and couldn't help but be stunned.
"Two seconds, isn't it already there......?"
"Could it be that time......" Shirahoshi remembered the desperate situation in the Badlands, when after he made a wish in his heart, his mind went blank, and what happened later was only some fragments of images that could not be connected.
If he hadn't woken up from the hospital and been told by everyone that he had saved everyone, he would have thought that some third party had intervened.
Just as Shirahoshi was thinking, the time stop really ended.
"About two seconds more......?"
Observing the world that has resumed its activities, Shirahoshi silently recalls the seconds just now in his heart.
"Eh-"
Rebecca looked at the suddenly changed scene in front of her, and suddenly exclaimed, she had just been flying in the air with a car and a person, and she was about to make intimate contact with the ground with her face.
"Shhhh
A soft voice sounded as Rebecca looked to the side, and Shirahoshi was putting her finger in front of her pursed mouth, making a silent gesture to her.
That's fine.
Rebecca suddenly settled down, now that she saw Shirahoshi, everything was easy to explain, although she still couldn't figure out what Shirahoshi's abilities were.
But judging from this performance, there is no doubt that Bai Xing saved her just now.
"We'll have to be quiet and use the communication channel." After seeing Rebecca calm down for a while, Shirahoshi sent her a communication request.
"Hey, Shirahoshi, do we know what this guy is about? Why did you come to trouble? ”
"Well, if I'm not mistaken, they're supposed to be scavengers."
Regarding this issue, Shirahoshi had already carefully looked at the people in the car with a stand-in, and he was ninety-five percent sure that the other party was a person from the scavenger forces.
"Scavengers? Do you still have a grudge against the scavengers? As for their daylight on the streets, do they do it to you? ”
"Well, it's a bit ......."
Bai Xing explained with some embarrassment when he heard this.
"When I was working alone before, I received some injuries, and I wanted to be greedy for a little cheap, so I went to a less formal hospital."
"I didn't expect that as soon as I lay down on the bed board, the gang tied my hands and feet and prepared to slap my waist!"
"I'll go, won't I get any anesthetics?"
Shirahoshi glanced at Rebecca, wondering how strange your focus is.
"Who knows, anyway, I broke free from the straps and escaped."
"That's all?"
"Well, I also smashed their hospital by the way."
"Ever since then, I've sometimes been attacked by scavengers on the street, and in a fit of rage, I pretended to be caught, and followed them back to their stronghold, another black hospital."
"And then I smashed that black hospital too."
"Huh? Then they dare to come to you for trouble? I've lost two hospitals, it's really a fool, take it. ”
"I also don't know what kind of magical brain circuitry they are, anyway, since then, whenever I am attacked by the scavengers, I will follow the touch and kill one of their strongholds."
"Oh~ then we are now?"
Rebecca realized that they were still crawling on the car and moving, looking at Shirahoshi with bad intentions.
"That's what you think."
"Hey......
