Bansey was startled and instinctively tried to start the car.
Chug, sputter.
Chug, sputter.
After several attempts, the car failed to restart.
Cold sweat streamed down Bansey's face once again.
"I was just joking."
As he said this, he turned his head with an awkward yet polite smile, hoping to lighten the mood.
But when he turned his head, he realized that Jason and Edward, who should have been sitting in the backseat, had vanished without a trace, leaving only the open car doors on both sides.
Whoosh!
The cold wind blew, and Bansey shrank his neck.
He shouted in horror:
"Captain?"
"Your Excellency Jason?"
Sadly, aside from the wind, there was no response at all.
Moreover, this was a dark crossroads with no lights, pitch black outside.
The only car light too dimmed as the vehicle died.
"Stay calm!"
"Stay calm!"
"I need to stay calm!"
Bansey kept telling himself this silently while he recalled the words Edward had told him.
