Chapter 537 Regional Restrictions
[Longteng Used Cars]

"You two look quite young. Are you really going to buy this car? It's a 15-year-old model, which might be a bit outdated for you, and the fuel consumption is quite high."

"How about we take a look at another one? These are the cars we recycled last week, the most popular model right now, a hybrid, and the price isn't too high."

"We have limited funds, so let's just go with this old car, as long as it works."

Roddy brought Meijia out early in the morning. Since they were going to officially start dealing with the movie incident, a car was essential.

Luo Di immediately took a liking to this Mazda, which was over ten years old, and the price was only 7000 yuan.

The formalities were completed quickly, and we drove off.

“Roddy, our family actually has some savings, enough to buy a better car. Isn’t this car a bit too shabby? If we need to chase enemies like in the movies, will its performance be insufficient?”

"Don't worry, I'll modify it."

After last night's experience, Roddy suddenly became extremely interested in "modification." If houses and even living people like Mika could be modified, then cars should be no exception.

During his drive, Roddy also noticed that news of the serial killer had spread throughout the county, and there were far fewer pedestrians out and about. He could often see patrol cars and temporary checkpoints set up in densely populated areas.

Following the map navigation, Roddy drove to an abandoned factory.

I don't know if it's because "Miss Tian" was busy all night and didn't show up this morning, which gave Roddy enough time to make changes.

The morning passed in the blink of an eye.

The entire factory was filled with heat and ash.
Due to the heat, Roddy took off his shirt, rolled up his trouser legs, and sweat flowed between his muscles. He was completely immersed in this hellish forging process.

Meijia was completely absorbed in the view and only managed to pull herself away from the beautiful scenery. She checked the time and said, "Luo Di, I'll go buy some food. It's already noon."

To everyone's surprise, a pair of burning red eyes lashed out at me.

"I told you, don't stray from me."

"Oh, sorry, I forgot. Shall I order takeout?"

"It should be ready in about half an hour, no rush."

"Ok."

Perhaps due to the body modification, Meijia ate breakfast the same amount she used to eat, but she got hungry very quickly, and now her stomach is growling non-stop.

"It's done!"

It was exactly half an hour when I said it would be half an hour.

The car's exterior hasn't changed much, since it's still meant to be driven on the road. However, some strange metal wires can be seen inside the wheel rims, and the entire chassis is wrapped with barbed wire.

The windows and front and rear windshields are coated with an opaque film to ensure that the interior environment is not exposed.

click!
The car door opened, and waves of intense heat emanated outwards; one could even hear the sounds of flesh writhing. The interior had long been transformed into a hellish space.

1. The gear shifter in the spinal structure is inserted between the ribs to achieve gear changing.
2. The accelerator, a component of the heart, can instantly increase blood pressure by pressing it, thus rapidly boosting overall power.

3. The steering wheel structure is retained, but a brain-like structure is placed in the center, with nerves directly connected to the interior of the car body.

Every time the steering wheel is turned, especially when turning at extremely high speeds, the brain automatically corrects the turning amplitude and adjusts the kinetic energy transmission to ensure that the vehicle can achieve the best turning effect without losing too much speed.

4. The windshield wipers have built-in traps; a special setting can pop out sharp blades to tear apart anything clinging to the windshield.

5. The vehicle's internal frame is double-reinforced with metal chains and a spine structure, ensuring its integrity even in the event of a severe impact, and it passes quality inspection at Chaos Nest City without incident.

6. The seats are constructed with flesh and blood, and adopt two modes: "semi-embedded" and "fully embedded" to ensure that passenger injuries are minimized in the event of a major car accident.

7. A special button is located at the deepest part of the steering wheel.

Once activated, the vehicle will undergo a torture chamber transformation, with its external structure completely altered. To ensure the plausibility of the film's plot, it will not be activated unless absolutely necessary.

Roddy was quite satisfied with the overall renovation results.

Meijia wasn't afraid at all looking at the fleshy creatures inside the car. She seemed to have completely accepted the hellish nature of the place and was a qualified torture chamber regenerator.

"Wow! I remember a movie called Ghost Rider! Can our car also switch to a wheel-on-fire mode?"

"Theory is possible, but unnecessary."

We need to appear normal on the outside to avoid unnecessary trouble... We'll buy some fried chicken and burgers to eat in the car later, so we don't waste time going to a restaurant.

"Okay! Are we going to catch that bad guy next?"

"almost."

As the vehicle drove along city roads, Meijia, in the passenger seat, would feed Roddy whenever she had a spare moment: a hamburger, a chicken nugget, a few fries, and some iced cola.

The two didn't seem to be fleeing or chasing a murderer at all; they looked more like a young couple taking a drive during their vacation.

Looking at the dwindling number of vehicles and pedestrians outside the window, Meijia asked with a puzzled expression, "Luo Di, are you planning to leave the city?"

"Ah."

The car had already entered the national highway, and the boundary sign for the county town was standing a hundred meters ahead.

As Roddy drove past the sign at a normal speed, he could clearly feel a spatial disturbance; his field of vision seemed to be frozen in time, changing in an instant.

In the blink of an eye, the vehicle had turned around and entered the opposite lane.

"really……"

Luo Di turned the steering wheel again, made another U-turn, and drove away from the county town.

*Whoosh!* Spatial teleportation. The result is the same: the vehicle instantly moves to the opposite lane, never able to cross the boundary.

Roddy immediately pulled the vehicle over to the side of the road and tried to cross the county boundary on foot. The result was the same; his body instantly completed a 180° turn.

Meijia, being a local, is no exception.

Moreover, during their time on the national highway, no other vehicles entered or exited the area.

"Meijia, have you ever gone out with your boyfriend before?"

“Going out... Our universities are all in other places. I have memories of studying away from home. We even went to the beach for a trip last year.”

But I can't recall the specifics of leaving the county town; something seems off.

Meijia's mood instantly plummeted; she seemed to have figured something out.

“Roddy, you’re not here to investigate the killer’s trail, but to explore the world I live in.”

Roddy didn't respond, but silently waved for Meijia to get back into the car.

Meijia continued, "The county I live in is all I know... It's a bit like the movie I once watched, 'The Truman Show.' I might not even be considered a real person, since my memories are very likely formed temporarily."

"I don't know either. If you want it, once things are over here, I'll help you erase this memory so you can go back to a normal life like before."

Meijia gently touched the metal structure on her arm. "Not necessarily... Perhaps it was because of your arrival that this county started to 'operate'. Once you leave, everything will disappear."

But it's okay, I probably won't feel anything.

I'm already very content to know all this, let alone now that I have superpowers.

Roddy didn't know what to say for a moment, but after a brief pause, he offered a suggestion: "If you survive, I'll try to see if I can get you out of here."

You have successfully embraced the characteristics of the Hell's Torture Chamber. Your talent is exceptional, and you have a wonderful place to go.

Meijia, however, seemed quite composed, flicking the blade from between her elbows and waving it up and down.
Am I really that talented?
In my memory, I was a very ordinary person, but now I seem to be quite amazing. Let's talk about that later; anyway, I will definitely try my best to survive.

I still really miss my little Di. If this county town could stay indefinitely, I'd be willing to spend my whole life with him.

"Row."

"Roddy, is there anything else you want to try? I'll go with you."

"Knowing the county boundary is enough... We'll wait in the car for a bit. That guy was really angry with me last night, he'll definitely show up today."

Just as Roddy was about to lie down on one of the chairs to rest, a beam of high beams shone from the front.

The national highway, which had been deserted, was now suddenly teeming with heavy trucks traveling at speeds exceeding 100 km/h.

Ms. Tian was in the driver's seat, and she had obvious dark circles under her eyes, indicating that she hadn't had much rest.

"Roddy, step on the gas! That car is going to crash into us."

"It's alright, my modified car isn't that fragile."

Not only did Roddy remain seated, but he also put his arm around Meijia and gave her the international hand gesture again.

The impact was imminent.

boom!
The heavy truck, hailed as the king of trucks, overturned directly. The enormous inertia generated by the high speed caused the cab to separate, and the truck flipped and fell into the aisle, severely deformed.

The Mazda I bought for over 7,000 yuan was almost undamaged, with only a small dent on the front and one of the headlights broken.

"Luo Di, why are you hugging me..."

"A necessary step."

"Oh."

It didn't take long.

Snapped!
Two bloody handprints landed on the car window, rubbing back and forth.

Immediately afterwards, Miss Tian's blackened face came close.

He pulled out a knife from somewhere and tried to break down the door, then took out sulfuric acid and splashed it, but neither had any effect.

No matter how the other party provokes, shouts, or curses.

Luo Dijun ignored him and instead looked at the time on his watch, seemingly calculating something.

About twelve minutes passed.

A sinister smile crept across Roddy's face.

"It's an eight-minute drive from the police station here, and no police cars have come yet, which means no one knows about what happened here."

Meijia, you need to stay in the car now and don't get out no matter what happens. Just treat it like watching a movie.

I need to take care of things here; if I'm lucky, it should be finished today.

"okay."

Ms. Tian is currently smashing her head against the driver's side window.

Luo Di decisively pried open the door lock and unleashed a powerful palm strike!
The force is transmitted outward through the door.
Miss Tian, ​​who was leaning against the door, was blasted away and fell face-first into the dirt, her face becoming a bloody mess.

But she quickly stood up.

Seeing Luo Di deliberately exposing himself, she immediately ran over like a madwoman!
