Shadow Slave novel Chapter 2510

Sunny could see three cars rushing through traffic to catch up to them — which did not mean that there weren't more. All three were nondescript and unassuming, but at the moment, they looked quite menacing.

He sighed.

"Doesn't make much sense, does it?"

The Other Mordret, who seemed oddly relaxed despite the threat to his life, lingered for a few moments and asked in a curious tone:

"What doesn't make sense, exactly?"

Sunny frowned.

"None of it makes any damn sense…"

By now, they knew that there was a larger conspiracy hiding behind the seemingly random Nihilist killings. Still, the first seven victims had been killed by the same lunatic — their missing eyes hinted at that, at least. However, there was also the driver of the truck who had pushed Mordret's car into the river, as well as all the assailants from last night.

And now, there seemed to be a large coordinated force trying to finish the job.

Sunny grimaced.

"Hold on tight. This… might be a bumpy ride."

Pressing the pedal to the floor, he threw the PTV forward.

"Ack!"

Saint grabbed the assist grip and looked at him darkly.

"Detective Sunless, where did you learn to drive?"

Sunny grinned.

"The wartorn reaches of Antarctica!"

Spinning the wheel, he managed to just barely squeeze the PTV between two speeding vehicles and change lanes. With a bit of free road in front of him,

he accelerated even more.

The rain was pelting the cracked windshield, and the wipers were drowning as they fruitlessly tried to clear it. It was practically impossible to see what was ahead, and the headlights of the vehicles around them fused into red and white blurs. His black PTV raced across the freeway at a speed that would have usually been negligible to Sunny, but was now terrifying.

The black vehicles roared, as if welcoming the mad race. It was met with outraged horns of surrounding PTVs, which fell behind in a matter of moments.

Sunny weaved between lanes, taking over one vehicle after another with risky maneuvers. Their pursuers, sadly, were doing the same.

He glanced into the rearview mirror briefly.

"Do you know, guys…"

He threw the PTV in front of a heavy truck, managing to swerve onto an exit ramp at the last moment. The curve of the ramp was too steep, however, and

the left side of the black vehicles was stripped bare of a layer of paint as it slid along the concrete barrier with an ear-piercing screech.

Recovering from being jostled, Sunny sent the PTV onto the streets of Mirage City and smiled."This one time, my APC drove through a horde of Nightmare

Creatures on a coastal highway, maneuvering between carriages of a derailed train… while a sinking battleship bombarded the mountains above us with artillery fire…"

There was the sound of something crashing behind them, and a car shattered the concrete barrier, falling from a height in a rain of debris. A moment later, it hit the asphalt and rolled, crashing into the wall of a nearby building as a pile of bent metal.

But another car was already rushing down the ramp, eager to catch up with them.

The Other Mordret forced out a pale smile.

"I… don't really understand half of what you said, Detective. But you must be an incredible driver!"
