After resting in the hotel for a day and replenishing his energy, Lin Yi launched into action.
As it happened to be Saturday, Lin Yi asked Sonoko out alone.
Sonoko happily agreed.
After successfully meeting up and having a cup of coffee to perk up, she eagerly asked, "Where are we going to play today?"
Before going out, Lin Yi had roughly thought about the location.
Shopping was out of the question. If she wanted to shop, Sonoko might as well go with Xiaolan. After all, only girls have the greatest understanding when it comes to shopping.
Gourmet food was also not an option. As a rich girl, Sonoko had tasted all kinds of delicacies.
Therefore, Lin Yi chose the most suitable entertainment for Sonoko—a haunted house.
"Let's go to the largest and most terrifying haunted house in the Guinness World Records—the Super Scary Labyrinth of Fear."
"Go to a haunted house?" Sonoko was stunned for a moment, then happily clapped her hands. She nodded impatiently and said, "Okay, okay!"
"I've wanted to go to this place for a long time, but Xiaolan is too afraid of ghosts and doesn't want to go with me! She gets scared enough by those small haunted houses in amusement parks."
"Alright, let's go."
The Super Scary Labyrinth of Fear is located in Yamanashi Prefecture on Honshu Island, a two-hour drive away.
However, Lin Yi directly used the fake identity that Akemi had obtained for him last time and rented a black Mercedes-Benz.
After buying some snacks and drinks for the road, Lin Yi drove off.
Since Lin Yi was driving himself, he naturally wouldn't dawdle.
He floored the accelerator, directly bringing the car to 130 kilometers per hour, making the car feel like it was about to fly.
The rented Mercedes-Benz suddenly accelerated, and the engine made a desperate sound, as if it was about to break down at any moment.
Seeing the speed so fast, Sonoko couldn't help but lean back. She couldn't help but remind him, "Don't… don't go so fast."
Lin Yi glanced at Sonoko and smiled, "This is already slow… If I were alone, I would go even faster."
In his memory, he had driven cars and raced in Tokyo. The traffic conditions in the city were much more complicated than on the highway, and he could still outsmart the police under such circumstances.
He had a certain understanding of his driving ability.
Now, 130 kilometers per hour on the highway wasn't anything special, only exceeding the speed limit by 10 kilometers per hour.
In addition, the road conditions on the highway were much better than in the city, so there was no need to worry about people changing lanes at will.
Lin Yi drove the BMW quickly, overtaking one car after another. The journey that originally took half an hour was completed by Lin Yi in only fifteen minutes.
There was a red Chevrolet in front.
Seeing this, Lin Yi glanced at the rearview mirror to make sure there were no cars behind, then turned on the turn signal to signal that he was about to overtake.
He changed lanes, then stepped on the accelerator again. The engine roared quite loudly, and the speed increased again.
The red Chevrolet noticed that Lin Yi's black Mercedes-Benz was trying to overtake, and it actually sped up again, not intending to let Lin Yi pass.
Obviously, the other party probably felt that his Mercedes-Benz wasn't qualified to overtake his Chevrolet.
Most of the time driving is relatively boring and easy to get tired.
Even chatting with Sonoko on the side is difficult to relieve mental fatigue.
Therefore, seeing that the other party had no intention of yielding, Lin Yi's spirits immediately lifted!
Without saying a word, he went full throttle, and the speed soared to 150 kilometers per hour.
He quickly caught up with the other party and drove side by side.
Suddenly, the window of the red Chevrolet lowered, and the driver stretched his hand out of the window, making a thumbs-down gesture at Sonoko, representing contempt.
Then, the red Chevrolet sped up again, overtook the black Mercedes-Benz, and continued to lead.
"This guy!"
Sonoko was stunned for a moment. She had been despised for no reason. She called out unhappily, "Yi! Catch up with him! Don't let him be so arrogant!"
Lin Yi said with a smile, "It's a bit difficult to catch up with him."
"Why?" Sonoko said unhappily, "I was despised! Aren't you going to help me get justice?"
Lin Yi said, "His Chevrolet is a sports car, and my Mercedes-Benz is a family car… They are not in the same class, and the horsepower is not as good as his."
"Then what should we do?" Sonoko pouted and said unhappily, "Can we only let it go?"
"Of course not…"
Lin Yi quickly looked at the navigation and said, "There's a bend ahead. Maybe we can overtake it."
If the car isn't as good as the other, you can only rely on skill.
And coincidentally, Lin Yi, who had acquired Intermediate Vehicle Control, couldn't be said to have the strongest driving skills on Earth, but he could still be among the world's best.
— — — —
The red Chevrolet quickly relied on the superior performance of its body and quickly left the black Mercedes-Benz behind.
"Tch, a mere little Mercedes-Benz, trying to overtake my Chevrolet?"
The driver looked at the Mercedes-Benz, which had become a black dot in the rearview mirror, and said disdainfully.
"Brother Yuan, you're so handsome."
The female companion next to him couldn't help but praise him.
"That's for sure. After all, I'm a man who has been on Mount Akina."
Brother Yuan said proudly.
"The car behind can't be seen anymore, so you don't have to drive so fast… There's a bend ahead."
His female companion offered praise, but she valued her own life and urged him to slow down as they approached a turn.
"Relax, it's just a curve."
Yuan-ge spoke dismissively, but his foot obediently eased off the accelerator, slowing down in advance to navigate the small bend.
After passing the curve, Yuan-ge suddenly heard a horn from behind.
He glanced in the rearview mirror and saw the black Mercedes had caught up and was quickly overtaking him.
The passenger-side window rolled down, and a thumb emerged, repeatedly pointing downwards.
A gesture of utter contempt.
"Bastard!"
Yuan-ge couldn't stand it; how dare a mere family car like a Mercedes provoke him?
A Buddha vies for incense, and a man fights for honor!
Especially with a woman beside him, how could he swallow this insult?
"A beat-up car dares to act tough in front of me!"
Yuan-ge sneered and floored the accelerator, the red Chevrolet once again using its superior performance to quickly overtake the Mercedes.
This time, he didn't roll down the window to give them the thumbs-down!
He would leave them so far behind they couldn't even see his taillights!
Let them eat his dust!
The red Chevrolet sped past the black Mercedes, not lingering for a moment!
