Extraordinary North America: Where are the magical partners?

Chapter 172 "Well, let's add a few more seats to the car."

At home, it was late at night and everyone was asleep.

There was only a small lamp in the living room emitting a dim glow. Rango and Teddy sat side by side on the sofa, drawing on a piece of paper on the coffee table.

"Clare, well, she's quite obedient. You can take her with you."

"What about her parents?"

"We'll discuss this later"

"Quigma and Old Joe?"

"We don't need to worry about them. I guess they will escape to a timeline of more than a hundred years ago the night before the next sacrifice and enjoy the rest of their lives."

"curator?"

"Of course I have to take them all away."

"Well," Teddy pondered over the curator's name for a while, "He's so old, and he's married to a woman in her twenties. Do you think he can live until next year?"

"."

That's right, Rango and Teddy are discussing which people to take with them to live on other worlds before the earth is destroyed.

Teddy had written a lot of names densely on the paper, but most of them were crossed out by Rango.

"I understand that you want to take those one hundred minions with you, but who is this Manny? I've never heard of him." Rango asked puzzledly, pointing at a name above.

"It's the old Mexican guy who sells tacos at the entrance of the community."

Teddy said confidently: "The tacos he makes are the best in New York."

"Fuck you, we're on the run and you have to bring an old Mexican guy selling burritos with you?!"

"Hey, what if we go to the Middle Ages or ancient times? I don't want to be a wild bear that eats raw meat and drinks blood."

"Anyway, this Manny is no good. And who the hell is this Dick?"

"He's the bartender at the strip club I frequent. He always gives me a Long Island Iced Tea every time I go there, and..."

"Get out of my way!"

When Rango heard this, he was so angry that he grabbed Teddy's neck and threw the guy aside. The list in his hand was more valuable than the ticket for Noah's Ark, and this bastard actually wrote a bunch of strangers' names on it casually.

He picked up the list and crossed out all the names he had never heard of. According to Teddy's character, these people were probably either street vendors or Yue Duiyi dancers.

"Hey buddy?"

Teddy got up from the floor, spread his hands and asked him, "I was just joking with you, why are you so angry with me?"

"I didn't even plan to take Dom and his sister, as well as the Smith family, away with me, but you want to move the entire New York to another world!"

"That's your problem, buddy. The Grimoire doesn't say there's a limit on the number of people. Can't we save more people and leave? Can we only bring our family and friends?"

"."

Rango was speechless for a moment. This seemed to make some sense. He had indeed never heard Yumi mention the issue of a limit on the number of people.

"Besides, this is just a draft list, isn't it?" Teddy continued, "Aren't you planning to use the magic book to find helpers in other worlds and absorb energy at the same time? If your plan succeeds, you may not have to flee with everyone."

"yeah."

Rango responded nonchalantly, folded his hands behind his head, leaned against the sofa, and stared blankly at the swaying light and shadow under the dim light.

Teddy curled his lips in dissatisfaction when he saw this. This guy put on that expression that said, "I have something on my mind and you'd better not ask me, but I will definitely tell you if you ask me."

Having lived with Rango for so many years, he had already seen through this guy. In the past, he might have pretended to be a close friend and asked a few questions, but now Teddy was in no mood to listen to his chatter.

So he gently lifted his foot and took a few steps back calmly, trying to quickly leave Rango's sight before he could express his desire to talk.

However, before he put his raised foot down, the man on the sofa spoke.

"Yeah, you guessed it right buddy, I do have some troubles."

Fake!

Teddy cursed inwardly, he clearly didn't say anything!

He quickly adjusted his expression, put on his signature smile of "best brother", walked up to Rango, and said with pretended concern: "Hey, what can't be said between brothers? Don't forget that we are the best thunder brothers!"

After hearing this, Rango smiled helplessly, then tilted his head towards Teddy and said, "Well, since you insist on asking, I have no choice but to tell you."

"I..." He hesitated for a moment and then spoke slowly, "I was thinking whether I should go back to the past with Quagma to see Pete and the others. Although they have done a lot of ridiculous things, they have been really nice to me."

"Waterfa?"

Teddy was speechless after hearing this: "You just rejected the request to go with me in front of Quigmar not long ago, and even said in a low voice like a Hollywood tough guy, 'I want to save the world in my own way', but after drinking a cup of coffee, you changed your mind again?!"

Rango smiled awkwardly, his eyes flickering.

Seeing this, Teddy was even more furious. "Fuck you, if I hadn't grown up with you, I would really want to beat you up sometimes."

"Tell me, why did you change the plan?"

Rango's eyes softened and he began to recall the past: "Actually, it has little to do with Pete and the others. I just want to see my sister again. You know, she was the one who took care of me in those days."

“Megan?”

Teddy thought of the girl who always had a warm smile in her mind and nodded to show her understanding: "You are right. Pete and Louise don't seem like serious people, but Megan is worth meeting."

"Right?" Rango recalled the past with an expectant smile on his face, "I think I should go there, of course."

He changed the subject and said in a serious tone: "Don't worry, no matter what the result is on Pete's side, after returning from the past, we will continue to use the magic book to explore other worlds and make full preparations."

Teddy's curiosity was aroused: "Have you decided which world you want to go to?"

Rango shrugged, looking relaxed: "I haven't decided yet, but I plan to find a place suitable for people with super powers to live first."

After saying that, he grabbed his coat from the sofa, picked up Teddy, and prepared to go out. Since he decided to take the shuttle back to the future, he had a better choice than the doctor's hand-assembled car.

"Hey, be gentle, be gentle man Fuck! I told you to be gentle old bastard!"

Click!

——With a crisp sound of metal tearing, the tail of McQueen became empty in an instant, and the exhaust pipe was skillfully removed by Doc Brown.

This scene made Rango and Teddy, who were standing nearby, clamp their legs together at the same time, with their facial features distorted, as if they had also undergone an "operation."

McQueen, who was suspended in the air, suddenly found that his "important parts" were missing. In horror, he wailed loudly: "Rango! This old bastard removed my exhaust pipe! Damn it, this damn old pervert! Rango! Come and save me!"

"Be quiet, young man. I'm upgrading you." Doc Brown explained without turning his head. "I'm going to install a nuclear engine on you. Your current exhaust pipe is too small to withstand the strong pressure of the new engine."

As he spoke, he picked up a gigantic exhaust pipe as black as night from the workbench. The diameter of the pipe was several times larger than the previous one and could be used as a cannon barrel.

"Oh this looks pretty cool."

McQueen saw this and his anger instantly disappeared. He scratched the car body with his front wheel and shyly suggested, "Can you change it to silver? Black will make me feel like I don't belong to myself when I'm doing things."

".OK."

Although Doc Brown looked confused, he respected McQueen's opinion and picked up the spray paint to start painting the new exhaust pipe.

Not long ago, he was ready to pack up and take a special plane back to the cabin base in Texas with Quigmar, but then Rango drove in in this burgundy Viper supercar.

Not only did he announce his decision to follow them back in time to several decades ago, he also generously donated his beloved car as a modification object.

Doc Brown doesn't understand why a car can talk, but according to Rango, McQueen, like Teddy, was blessed by God and therefore has the ability to speak.

But none of this mattered to him. After practicing for a while, he found that McQueen's body structure was surprisingly compatible with the nuclear engine he developed, so he readily agreed.

Of course, the modification is not limited to the engine. You know, traveling through time and space requires not only speed, but also a series of complex technical support and safety protection measures.

On the other side, Rango looked at the thick exhaust pipe that McQueen had reinstalled and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

With this huge model, if this kid wants to play with it again, he can only go to the airport tarmac.
"Rango."

In a corner not far away, Quigmar, who had been staring at his phone, suddenly said, "Since you have decided to go back to the past, I won't go."

"Why?" Rango asked in confusion: "Although the McQueen is a sports car, it is not difficult to add two more seats in the car, so it is no problem for more people to sit in it."

"Um, how should I explain this to you?"

Quagma scratched his head, looking a little embarrassed. "In those days, the homes of the Four Horsemen were very close to each other. Once I meet your parents, I will inevitably meet myself at that time. To be honest, I don't really want to face my younger self."

"Live together?"

Rango was even more confused. "But I never saw you guys when I was a kid in Queens, New York?"

"That's because the place where you lived when you were a child was specially chosen by Pete and his family later on." Quigmar explained, "and your real hometown is not there."

He went on to explain: "At that time, we lived together in a small town called Clam. The people there were simple and honest, and they were all kind-hearted. There was also a Clam Bar in the town, and every night the four of us would hang out there and drink all night long."

He told a lot of stories about how they lived a carefree life in Clam Town when they were young, then suddenly changed the subject and frowned, saying, "But, strangely, not long after you were born, Pete and Louise suddenly decided to leave town and moved to New York, the home you are familiar with."

"."

After hearing this, Rango nodded speechlessly. "Well, I'm really not interested in delving into these old stories. So, the main reason you don't want to go back is that you're afraid of seeing your younger self, right?"

"Haha, of course there are other reasons."

Quagma laughed dryly a few times, and suddenly showed his cell phone screen to Rango and Teddy.

"Fuck?! You just sat in the corner for an hour watching porn?"

Teddy's eyes widened as the screen showed a scene of more than a dozen naked women entangled in each other, which looked particularly unbearable under the dim light.

"Watching movies? NONONO!" Quigmar waved his hands quickly, looking righteous, "Do you think I'd be the kind of man who watches movies in public? Even though I'm lustful, I still have some basic moral integrity."

He pointed at the phone screen and explained seriously: "These are the dozen girls I kidnapped and locked in the cellar. If I leave, no one will bring them food. Sigh, it's hard to be a good person, so this mission has to be handed over to you, Rango!"

After saying that, without giving them any chance to refute, Quigmar waved his hand hastily, turned around and left the warehouse, leaving Rango and Teddy with stunned looks on their faces.

"Lan Lango, did he just say he was a good person?"

"Yeah, and he said he was very moral."

"Fuck, I feel like a rookie in front of him."

"."

three days later.

The doctor lived up to everyone's expectations and successfully developed the time-space shuttle again. Compared with the last time, this time the shuttle not only achieved a qualitative leap in safety, but also built a solid guarantee for the success rate.

Of course, all of this was just Dr. Brown's own boasting. Rango had no idea what the details were until he sat on it.

At this time, on a blocked road outside New York, a group of people were seeing them off.

Rango hugged Gloria, Clare and others one by one. When it was Emma's turn, he hugged her gently and whispered in her ear: "I like you now, Emma, ​​so I hope you don't do anything stupid when I'm not around."

Hearing his words, Emma's eyes swept across Gloria, Clare and Mavis on the other side, then a sweet smile appeared on her face and she nodded heavily.

Rango patted and rubbed her head and smiled at the others. If nothing unexpected happened during this time travel, they would not stay there for too long, so he did not bring anyone else except Teddy and Yumi.

He brought Teddy because of habit, and Yumi because, in case the old man, the Professor, was not good enough and could not come back after the time travel, he could use the coordinates located by the magic book to return to the present world.

Without further ado, Rango waved goodbye to everyone and resolutely opened the door of the shuttle. McQueen's interior, which used to be like an ornament, has been completely renewed. The newly added radio frequency-like device is exactly the time-space shuttle coordinate mentioned by Dr. Brown, which will lead him and others to travel through different time dimensions.

Rango fastened his seat belts, held Yumi and Teddy tightly in his arms, and nodded to the excited doctor beside him.

As the doctor hit the steering wheel hard, the modified McQueen made a deafening roar, and the air cylinder at the tail sprayed out a rocket-like flame, instantly ejecting the vehicle.

Under the reluctant gaze of Gloria and others, McQueen turned into a flash of lightning, cutting through the sky with dazzling electric light.

The lightning suddenly exploded, and the car disappeared without a trace, leaving only two hot flame tracks on the ground left by high-speed friction, witnessing everything.
