From the moment she kidnapped Erii, she became a roadblock.

Chapter 85 Going to the docks to get some fries

As evening fell, the distant horizon swallowed up the last rays of daylight.

Guan Luo and Erii walked out of the subway station.

Erii looked up at the massive structures made of steel and glass in the distance.

Although they were both adults, they were like two children who had slipped out of the adult world.

They looked at everything in the distance with curiosity.

The Chicago River bends between the buildings as Guan Luo and Erii walk toward the naval port dock. The neon lights are not yet fully lit, and the sky has a pale blue hue.

Waiting for night to fall.

The dock was crowded. Erii pointed to a popcorn stall, which she had eaten while watching a movie. She hadn't really tasted it, but she liked sweets.

Whether they'll fix it or not is unknown, but Guan Luo fixed a little bit first; he bought it casually when he bought the cruise ticket.

The cruise ship tickets have blue lettering printed on the stubs, like the color of a lake.

As the cruise ship gradually sailed away from the dock, Guan Luo and Erii went up to the open-air cabin on the top floor and stood near the railing.

The ship left a long white trail behind its stern as it sailed away from the city.

Even though it was already June, Lake Michigan still had a slight chill in the air, and you could even say it was a bit cold.

Guan Luo took off his gray windbreaker and draped it over Erii's shoulders. Erii didn't refuse and put it on, but the sleeves were too long.

It's like a child secretly wearing an adult's clothes.

"Eri looks like a penguin," Guan Luo said in the team chat.

"What's a penguin?" Erii had never seen a penguin before.

Guan Luo didn't know how to explain this, so he took out his phone and searched for a video of a penguin walking.

However, Erii was not angry when she saw it. Instead, she imitated the penguin's movements and took a few steps, which was very cute.

In the distance, cone-shaped skyscrapers blocked most of the setting sun. Not far away, a tour guide was speaking through a loudspeaker, talking about the Great Chicago Fire, the birth of skyscrapers, and the century-long reconstruction of the lakeside—

The sound was intermittent and unclear.

Darkness fell quickly, but the city in the distance lit up. Chicago's skyline was dominated by clusters of skyscrapers, such as the Willis Tower and the Trump Hotel, all brightly lit.

"Beautiful." Erii's voice rang out in the team chat.

Guan Luo could see the deep blue lake water reflected in Erii's eyes.

Erii noticed that Guan Luo was looking at her, so she turned her head to look over as well, and moved closer to Guan Luo.

The cruise ship slowly turned around in the lake, and the Ferris wheel on the pier in the distance began to rotate in the distance, with colorful light spots intertwining and drawing circles in the night sky.

It was almost 11 o'clock when we disembarked.

The crowd at the naval port pier had almost completely dispersed, leaving only a few artists singing and dancing.

Oh, right, and rap too.

Under the streetlights, a Black musician is playing the saxophone.

The two strolled along the street, the gaps between the stone slabs on the ground seeming like abysses. Erii carefully stepped on the exact center of each square, as if afraid of falling in.

The two shadows stretched long and close together under the streetlights.

Suddenly Erii paused, stood on tiptoe next to Guan Luo, and gently touched Guan Luo's cheek with her lips.

Guan Luo was suddenly stunned. It felt like snowflakes falling on his face, so gentle that they melted before he could even feel their warmth.

At this point, Guan Luo's mind went blank. Where did Erii learn this from? When did she become so bold?

After Erii kissed Guan Luo's cheek, she tilted her head and stared into Guan Luo's eyes without any expression. Then, as if she was satisfied with her performance, she nodded.

He continued walking forward as if nothing had happened.

Guan Luo stood there stunned for a moment, pondering the situation, before jogging after him.

Although she didn't know who taught her, Guan Luo thought it was well-taught and beautifully executed.

At this moment, on the screen of Erii's phone in her pocket, there was a communication box with a message that Erii had just sent not long ago.

"Norma, Norma, how can I become best friends with Guan Luo forever?"

"Norma, Norma, how can I make Guan Luo keep liking me?"

"Norma, Norma————"

Norma:

"Give him a kiss."

And that's how the scene just now unfolded.

It can only be said that Erii's execution ability is astonishing; she can do things immediately.

Erii didn't know if Norma's suggestion would work, but she decided to try it anyway, and she thought it was quite effective, making Guan Luo's ears turn red, which was unusual.

Erii, like a victorious general, strode forward with her head held high and chest out.

Guan Luo squinted at the distance, where lights fell like stars into the steel forest.

Just as Guan Luo was preparing to take Erii back by subway.

Suddenly, his phone vibrated; it was an urgent message from Norma.

"Sorry to disturb your holiday."

"But I did you a small favor just now."

"Two teams of interns from the college outside the street are on summer assignments, about 1200 meters away, at the intersection of West Taylor Street and South Morgan Street."

"The target is a high-risk, out-of-control hybrid, but due to a misjudgment, the enemy has gone berserk. According to the assessment, the squad's casualty rate is over 73%."

"Request support from the surrounding specialists."

This is Chicago, not far from Kassel College, practically right under the noses of the capital. What kind of mixed-race people would dare to cause trouble here?

help?

Was that just now—

Besides that, Guan Luo couldn't think of any other way to help himself.

Guan Luo said that there could be more help like this, but the rescue was nothing to brag about.

I opened the map Norma sent; the distance wasn't far, and the target was moving.

Norma didn't even send Guan Luo the specific details of the target, which shows how much confidence she had in Guan Luo.

Guan Luo said to Erii in the team chat, "Let's go, let's save them."

Erii nodded upon hearing this.

She listened to whatever Guan Luo said.

Two figures leaped between the tall buildings, rushing towards that direction in the shortest possible way.

It's a pity this isn't Gotham City, otherwise I could have cosplayed as Batman.

When Guan Luo arrived at the location given by the system, he found that the streets here were very different from the ones he had been to before.

Its age was its least of its problems; the walls were covered in graffiti, the trash cans were empty and had become a huge garbage dump, and the stench in the air made Erii wrinkle her nose.

In the distance, one can see figures flitting about.

The original bloodline rating of their team's target was only B.

However, unexpectedly, the other party had a drug that stimulated the body. In addition, the other party went all out and used the power of words with all their might, and was already being corrupted by the dragon blood and was about to become a dead servant.

Their strength far exceeded what a B-level should be.

Moreover, their initial goal was simply to make an arrest, because the suspect's identity could lead to the uncovering of a smuggling operation.
