Conan: Begins to collaborate with Miss Bayonetta and become famous

Chapter 886 So are we going to escape on Old Man Le’s grand ride?

"Um..." Grace nudged Baijiu with her elbow, lowered her voice, and glanced vigilantly at the rear window, "Why do I feel like... someone is staring at us?"

"No need to 'feel'." Baijiu replied coldly, his eyes fixed on the narrow alley ahead, his body slightly avoiding her touch, "He's just chasing us."

"Also, stay away from me."

He glanced at her sharply, his tone unquestionable: "This is the second time I remind you that I don't like unnecessary physical contact."

"Now, we have to change cars immediately."

Before he finished speaking, his toes had already stepped on the brakes precisely.

"squeak--!"

The tires rubbed violently against the ground, making a low roar like a trapped beast.

"boom!"

The rear end of the car inevitably hit a car parked nearby.

"What a damn motorcycle... and these damn cars!" Grace irritably ran her hands through her long hair, looking at all the vehicles around her, her face full of disgust and impatience. "Now I think anything with wheels is a big trouble, really..."

Baijiu ignored her complaints.

He quickly moved through the maze of narrow alleys, turning corners, his wheels almost scraping the walls.

He himself didn't know exactly which corner of Rome he had driven to.

This ancient city was a completely unfamiliar blank sheet of paper to him.

"squeak!"

Finally, he came to a stop under a huge, heavy arch that looked quite old.

It was relatively secluded here, and the shadow cast by the huge stone arch served as a natural barrier, perfectly concealing their car.

Baijiu pulled Grace's wrist roughly and almost dragged her out of the car.

"Follow me closely." His eyes radiated an icy chill, and his tone carried an absolute command. "If you still want to leave here alive, don't have any evil thoughts, and don't run away at all."

"Let me warn you first," Baijiu's eyes flashed with a cold, almost bloodthirsty light, "I've never known how to spell the word 'fear of death'. I've been through the most dangerous situations."

"Whatever you can imagine or even cannot imagine, it's all commonplace in this rather eventful life of mine." He stated it with remarkable calmness, as if he was telling someone else's story.

"So, don't play any tricks on me." After saying that, he turned around and began to move quickly in the shadows to lead the way.

Baijiu pulled out his phone, raised his arm, and aimed the front-facing camera at his face. The pitch-black screen instantly lit up, and countless green dots of light, like living particles, rapidly scanned and constructed a three-dimensional model of his face.

Grace instantly turned into a curious baby. She couldn't help but lean over and stare at the magical screen, asking in confusion, "What are you doing? What kind of high-tech is this?"

Her face was filled with the wonder and bewilderment of someone who had grown up in the countryside and was seeing skyscrapers in the city for the first time: "It looks... so impressive!"

Baijiu didn't explain, but just quickly clicked on the three encrypted instructions that popped up on the screen with an expressionless face.

Before Grace could read any of the content clearly, his thumb decisively pressed the option at the bottom.

“Safety Car.”

The screen instantly switched to a two-dimensional electronic map. A striking red dot began to flash, and then, an optimal and shortest route automatically marked by a green dot of light appeared, winding like an intelligent little snake swimming quickly on the digital map.

"Get us a new car." Baijiu's tone was filled with a hint of barely perceptible pride. "It has to be at least a few levels faster than that crappy thing we just had."

"You're lucky," he said calmly, turning off the screen and gazing in the direction of the green route. "Today you get to experience the extreme speed of a true luxury race car."

Following the navigation, after descending a flight of stairs that seemed endless, they finally reached their destination.

A streamlined, futuristic gray-white Lamborghini supercar was parked there quietly. Its cool shape formed a tragic and funny contrast with the rusty "Laotoule" mini scooter next to it, which seemed to be from the last century.

When Baijiu caught a glimpse of Grace's expression, stunned by extreme shock and unable to find any words to describe it, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.

Grace had to admit that this was definitely the most luxurious and dreamy vehicle she had ever seen in her life!

Baijiu remained indifferent on the surface. To him, luxury cars were already commonplace. He shrugged, "I never lie."

As he spoke, he confidently pressed the start button on his phone screen, ready to unlock this dream car.

"Drip!"

A crisp unlocking sound was heard.

Baijiu looked calm and was about to walk towards the Lamborghini——

At this moment, the pitifully small old Le next to it suddenly made two weak, coughing engine responses! "Tutu..."

Baijiu was stunned and subconsciously pressed the unlock button again.

"Drip!"

"chug…"

The old man's car once again gave a low and playful response, and the headlights even flashed playfully twice.

Liquor:"……"

He pursed his lips, his expression became extremely complicated, and finally he reluctantly accepted this cruel and ironic reality.

He looked at Grace and said dryly, "Well...as you can see."

He looked at this extremely mini car, which was designed entirely for the elderly to travel, and couldn't help feeling a headache.

"Honestly," Grace shrugged, imitating his example, her tone filled with absurdity, "This kind of car... this is the first time I've been 'assigned' to ride. When I was 'working' before, I wouldn't even give this kind of car a second glance."

"Because you can tell with your toes that there is at most a pair of dentures and a smelly sock that has been there for who knows how long."

"Let's hope there aren't any of these 'surprises' in our 'car.'"

Baijiu smiled bitterly and opened the car door that felt so light that it seemed like it would fall apart if he exerted any force.
