Chapter 344: No Man’s Land
The raindrops fell in a stream, and were washed away by the rain that followed. The girl's beautiful but pale face was reflected in the rainstorm car window.
Nuo Nuo's breathing became a little tighter, and she looked at the face in the window calmly.
Bright almond eyes, a nose as white as jade, plump pink lips, and red hair as bright as a flame.
But she was very sure that she had just seen another face in the falling rain... or to be more precise, she had seen just one eye, the pupil of which was bright and cold, with golden light rising and falling in it.
Lu Mingfei, who had his back to Nuonuo, did not see Nuonuo's pale face. The bus had already left the highway. Lu Mingfei's heart, which had been tense for a long time, finally relaxed a little.
Although the highway in the direction of the zoo and the viaduct where the Maybach got lost on a rainy night are two completely different roads.
But as soon as the car got on the highway, Lu Mingfei felt like he was having PTSD.
This is a bit like once bitten by a snake, you will be afraid of ropes for ten years. Even if you pass by a different well every time, you will want to stay away from the wellhead.
If it weren't for the fact that they had to pass through this section of the city highway when driving back to Shilan Middle School from the zoo, he would have wanted to ask the driver to take another route.
But Odin didn't show up and Xia Mi didn't say a word, which made Lu Mingfei a little scared.
Could it be that this time Odin is just making a lot of noise but doing little?
Or, just as Xia Mi said before, he didn't show up because he was afraid of something.
Just as Lu Mingfei was thinking, the bus that had already entered the city suddenly shook violently, and the kinetic energy behind it instantly made Lu Mingfei fly several centimeters in his seat. Fortunately, everyone had fastened their seat belts, otherwise one or two people might have been thrown out of their seats.
"What happened?" the teacher in front asked the driver.
It was Nuonuo who answered the teacher. She looked back at the shattered glass and said, "It should be our car that was rear-ended."
Heavy rain is always a high-incidence weather for accidents. If you don't keep a safe distance, your tires may slip and you may rear-end the car in front. When the driver heard that his car was rear-ended, he quickly unbuckled his seat belt and opened the driver's door, wanting to get out and argue with the people in the car behind him.
The teacher watched the driver get off the car and wanted to get off to see what was going on, but was held down by Lu Mingfei who had already stood up from his seat.
"Teacher, let me go check it out." Lu Mingfei assigned the task, "You are the only adult on the bus now, and you have to take care of the students on the bus."
The teacher thought about it and felt that what Lu Mingfei said made sense, so he nodded and handed the umbrella to Lu Mingfei, agreeing to let him go down and take a look at the situation.
Lu Mingfei pressed the door-opening button on the steering wheel and got out of the car from the front door. Xia Mi suddenly passed through the sight of the leading teacher like a gust of wind. Before the teacher could react, she had already followed Lu Mingfei out of the car, leaving only a sentence "Teacher, I'll go down with Senior Brother Lu to take a look" and staying in the car.
The teacher was startled, and quickly stood up from his seat, preparing to press the button to close the door. At this time, Nuo Nuo also ran past him in a hurry: "Teacher, I am their senior sister, I will go down and help you watch them."
Three people got off the bus one after another, and the other students on the bus started to make a noise. The teacher in charge immediately pressed the door-closing button and stood at the front of the car, waving loudly: "Quiet! Quiet!"
……
When Nuonuo got off the car, Lu Mingfei and Xia Mi were already standing in the heavy rain with umbrellas. She raised her arms to symbolically cover her head, and hurriedly ran into Lu Mingfei's umbrella with small steps.
"Senior sister?" Lu Mingfei felt the impact on his back and turned around: "Why did you get off the car too?"
"Didn't you guys get off the bus too?" Nuonuo stuck out his tongue. "I was afraid that the guy who rear-ended you might see that you two are students and act helpless, so I came over to help you calm the situation!... Come closer, come closer! I'm all wet!"
Of course it is impossible that he got off the car just to help Lu Mingfei to save the situation.
Unlike Lu Mingfei, she has always been a girl with sharp intuition and trusts her intuition enough. Her intuition tells her that there is a reason why Lu Mingfei and Xia Mi suddenly ran out of the car, and it may be related to the face in the rain just now. That's why she hurriedly followed.
As for why Lu Mingfei and Xia Mi got out of the car... it was because Lu Mingfei was suspicious of this car accident which was too coincidental. He looked at Xia Mi and then got out of the car together.
As Nuonuo spoke, she held Lu Mingfei's umbrella hand and tilted the umbrella a little towards herself. But she stopped just enough, leaving more than two-thirds of the space under the umbrella for Lu Mingfei and Xia Mi.
Warm body temperature and cold temperature are exchanged through the skin of the two people. She has always been such a girl, who will directly and actively crash into your world, but is also domineering and quite reasonable. She wants to give you a little more than half of what she can take.
Lu Mingfei smiled bitterly and stuffed the umbrella directly into Nuo Nuo's hand.
"Senior sister, you and junior sister should hold the umbrella. You two are girls."
And, Senior Sister, you don’t feel well, do you?... Of course, Lu Mingfei didn’t say this.
When he was waiting in line just now, he noticed that Nuo Nuo's hand hidden in his pocket was quietly rubbing his belly. The main reason was that he had also been rubbing Liu Miaomiao and Su Xiaoqiang's belly recently, so he was more sensitive to this action.
Nuonuo was stunned: "What about you?"
Lu Mingfei pulled up the hood of his down jacket: "I have a hat."
……
Several people walked through the rain to the rear of the bus. It was indeed a car accident, and the rear of the car was seriously damaged. The front of the car behind was deformed. The bus was half-sideways in the middle of the road like a tailspin.
It's just a little strange...
"Why can't I see the driver?" Nuonuo asked, his eyes slowly sweeping through the rain.
The bus driver got off the bus before them, but when they walked to the rear of the car they had hit, they could not see the driver. Only the deformed headlights of the car behind them shone coldly in the rain, like a line that distinguished light from darkness.
Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment, as if he suddenly remembered something. He suddenly ran to the door of the car that had rear-ended the car in front of him and looked inside through the door.
There was no one in the cab of the car behind!
Nuo Nuo followed from behind and was about to ask Lu Mingfei why he was running so fast, but when he turned his head, he saw the empty cab.
Nuonuo was startled: "Where are the people in the car?"
It's impossible that they abandoned the car and ran away after the accident, right? There's no need to think so. It was just an ordinary rear-end collision, and there were no casualties.
Lu Mingfei ran past the car, stopped at the door of the car behind, and lay down to look around. He ran again, and lay down to look around again.
“None of the cars were occupied.”
Lu Mingfei turned around, rain dripping down his face, and spoke calmly about a horrifying fact.
At this time, Xia Mi, who had quietly run away before, also got off the bus behind her and shook her head: "The people on the bus are gone too."
No, that's not right.
To be precise, it wasn't the people in the car who were missing. It was actually just the three of them who were missing.
From the moment they got off the car, they were pulled into the Nibelung by Odin.
It turns out that it doesn't matter whether it's a highway or not. As long as Odin wants, even if they are in the crowd, they can be pulled into the mirror world where only Deadpool exists.
The atmosphere suddenly fell into silence, with only the white noise of heavy rain playing in the entire world. The three people's eyes met silently in mid-air.
The reason why Lu Mingfei and Xia Mi didn't look so surprised was because they all knew what had happened and had anticipated it. But it was rare for Nuo Nuo to be so calm.
Perhaps it was because she had seen the Grim Reaper reaping her mother's soul when she was very young, so she remained calm about this situation that seemed to happen only in a horror movie.
"So, can you explain to me now what happened?" Nuo Nuo shrugged, looking at Lu Mingfei with her beautiful eyes without blinking.
Lu Mingfei scratched his head in embarrassment, "This matter is a bit complicated to explain..."
"It's related to dragons anyway, right?" Nono said calmly, "You are all mixed-bloods too?"
Lu Mingfei was stunned and nodded. Nuonuo has always been a smart girl, and Lu Mingfei also knew that Nuonuo's first psychic vision was earlier than all of them, and her bloodline awakened very early.
So Lu Mingfei was not surprised that Nuonuo could infer that this incident was related to dragons. After all, more than 99% of supernatural events in the world are closely related to dragons.
But...even though they knew they were already in Nibelungen, how could they get out?
When Chu Tianjiao and his friends mistakenly entered Nibelungen, it was Chu Zihang who drove the Maybach all the way and found the exit of the viaduct and left Nibelungen.
The same thing happened when they rescued Jude Mai. They walked back along the road and came to the entrance where he and Xia Mi entered Nibelungen, and then left this country of deadpool created by Odin.
But this time there seemed to be no obvious entrance or exit. After they got off the bus, they fell into Nibelungen silently. Lu Mingfei also tried it, and just as he thought, the door of the bus was not the entrance or exit to Nibelungen.
"How about...we drive onto the highway and then go down?" Lu Mingfei looked at Xia Mi and asked.
Xia Mi spread her hands in bewilderment: "Brother, you ask me? You know that I have a deep hatred for that guy, and he has always been wary of me. Didn't I think of observing you because I saw you enter Odin's Nibelung? Brother, if you can't move freely, then what's the value of you being observed?"
"Then let's give it a try. Anyway, there are no other methods, right?"
Nono put one hand on his waist, and as the oldest of the three people present (nominally), he unified the opinions of the three parties.
She raised her hands. "You two are probably underage. I can drive. I already have a driver's license in the United States."
Fortunately, the traffic on the road was not congested, so there was room to squeeze in. Nuonuo walked to a Maserati and was about to open the driver's door.
Suddenly, Lu Mingfei pounced on her and pinned her down.
