Chapter 162: Paying Debts
After Mista shyly took out his loaded revolver at Li Qing's urging, Mr. Fabio immediately agreed to their request to borrow the car and gun.
Mista, who was just a gangster yesterday, was somewhat resistant to this kind of armed robbery, especially since the person he was pointing the gun at was an elderly man.
But Li Qing didn't waver at all.
For Li Qing, who once dominated Los Santos, borrowing a car from a passerby in the "game" is as natural as eating and drinking.
So, in order to get the pistol and car keys, Li Qing took the lead and stepped into Fabio's house.
The room was spacious, but also deserted.
The fireplace was clean but there was no firewood. The floor and furniture were covered with a thin layer of ash. The cold air in the room always carried the smell of old wood, as if it had not been cleaned for a long time.
"Do you really live here?"
A trace of suspicion flashed across Li Qing's eyes. He could sense the large amount of dust flying in the air. "This room seems to have not been ventilated for a long time. It doesn't look like someone lives here permanently."
"how!"
Fabio muttered unhappily:
"I usually work in the city, and occasionally go back to live in my old house in the countryside. Is there anything wrong with that?"
He had a bad temper. Even when someone pointed a gun at him, he couldn't help but get angry at the talkative Li Qing:
"If you want to rob , just rob. Why are you talking so much nonsense?!"
"What you said..."
Li Qing said innocently:
"I've already said it, we're borrowing, not robbing."
"When the trouble is over, we will naturally pay it back."
Once the trouble is over, this Passion organization will probably be in their pocket.
There must be money to compensate for the car, but I don’t know if this old man dares to ask the new mafia boss for the money.
"Pooh!"
Fabio's cheeks turned purple from holding back his anger. Then, he cursed and fumbled for his car keys, then slammed them on the table:
"The car keys are here, and the pistol is in the cabinet over there."
" Take the things and get out of here!"
"Thank you very much."
Li Qing carefully put the pistol and car keys into his pocket while observing Fabio's every move with caution.
From beginning to end, Fabio has not made any unusual moves.
He just stared at the group of robbers who were breaking into the house in front of him, as if he wanted to kill these misbehaving thugs with the anger and resentment in his eyes.
In this way, Li Qing successfully borrowed a car and a gun.
Although he still had some doubts, since Fabio didn't make any threatening moves, he didn't want to create any more trouble.
"Goodbye, Mr. Fabio."
Li Qing waved enthusiastically to Fabio, then got into the newly borrowed car with his companions.
"roll!"
Fabio's face looked very sour, as if he had eaten a bowl of stinky tofu and boiled durian that had been fermented for 779 days.
Finally, under his lustful gaze, Li Qing and others drove away.
And just at this moment…
The anger and frustration on Fabio's face disappeared instantly.
Instead, there was a sinister smile on the corner :
"Haha... I told you guys, Fabio's things are not that easy to take."
"If you borrow something from me, expect to pay it back with interest!"
He raised his hand calmly, looked at his watch and counted the time with a smile:
"One, two, three... seven, eight... fifteen, sixteen..."
"Twenty-eight, twenty-nine, thirty—it's time to pay back."
※※※
Driving a borrowed car, Li Qing and others set out on their journey again.
The five-seater sedan was a bit crowded for the seven of them, but compared to the previous "No. 11 bus", it was more than ten times more comfortable to have a car.
"How lucky..."
"If it weren't for this uncle, we would have to walk through this valley for seven or eight hours."
The car hadn't driven far when Fu Ge couldn't help but let out such an exclamation.
His sigh aroused everyone's approval.
It is indeed a lucky thing to meet a living person in this desolate mountain and wilderness who can lend them a car.
"but…"
Giorno frowned slightly:
"Is it really lucky? I always feel that there is something wrong with that old man's identity."
"Just think about it... without a car, it would take seven or eight hours to walk out of this valley."
"That's true for us, and it's true for Sam Sang as well."
"So, when he decisively detonated the car to attack us, didn't he think about how to leave after killing us?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes wavered slightly.
"you mean…"
Fugo quickly woke up from the joy of meeting a noble person on the road:
"Sem-Sang does not act alone."
"It is very likely that there is a companion behind him who is waiting for him in the distance and will drive him away from this valley as soon as he completes his mission."
"And this companion... is that old man?"
"Very likely."
Li Qing nodded in agreement while driving:
"In this way, the house may not be his, and the dust that has been accumulating in the house for a long time can be perfectly explained."
"However, although I have some doubts, I don't think he has any intention of attacking us..."
He shrugged, his tone somewhat disapproving:
"Look, didn't we drive the car away smoothly?"
"We've been driving out for almost half a minute, and the old man has remained where he is without making any move. We're a mile away from him now, so even if he's really an enemy, it won't have any impact."
"Too."
Fugo nodded and relaxed.
"Even if he is really an enemy, seeing that we dealt with Sam Sang without any harm, he would probably be too scared to take action, right?"
"Otherwise, he wouldn't have handed over the car and the gun to us so obediently."
The car was borrowed and they went far away. At this point it didn't matter whether the old man was an enemy or not.
It is a good thing to avoid a meaningless battle. Saving time and directly attacking the base camp is their main task now.
Everyone thinks so.
They drove farther and farther away, and the villa in the forest was gradually left behind.
However, at this moment...
"Pay back the money, pay back the money, pay back the money , pay back the money..."
"Pay back, pay back, pay back, pay back..."
Suddenly, a strange mechanical sound rang in everyone's ears.
The sound seemed to be synthesized using some electronic software and then played from an old, voice-changed electric speaker. It was mechanical, cold, unpleasant, and devoid of emotion.
"Pay back, pay back, pay back, pay back..."
"Pay back, pay back, pay back, pay back..."
The sound of noise pollution keeps ringing in everyone's ears.
Then, the next second, Li Qing saw something strange in the rearview mirror:
"substitute!"
"There's a double chasing us from behind the car!"
It was a strange and weird looking humanoid substitute.
Its limbs and torso do not look much different from those of humans. It has muscular body, a sturdy build, and skin that is almost clean and clean like a human's. There are even large patches of blue tattoos on its shoulders, chest and abdomen.
But this guy's head is not a human brain, but a bulky and old-fashioned computer monitor. (Old-fashioned for Li Qing)
The brightly lit computer screen is its face, and the two big "$" symbols displayed on the screen are its eyes.
"Pay back, pay back, pay back, pay back..."
"Pay back, pay back, pay back, pay back..."
The strange "computer man" caught up.
Its pace was getting faster and faster, gradually even surpassing the speeding car.
Noise pollution is getting worse and worse, and it's like a nightmare that you will never give up chasing.
No matter how panicked Li Qing was, it could keep up with him:
"Pay back the money—"
The content of the shouting changes from time to time:
"It is only natural to pay back debts."
"If you don't have money to pay, you can pay with your life."
