Chapter 80: Childhood Habits Are Hard to Break
The foggy capital was huge, rivers, factories, slums, rich areas, and it was already evening when Lawrence took the first circle.
Perhaps it should be said that they were lucky, and they did not see anything other than the man who robbed the law in a whole day.
Today's foggy capital seems to be unusually quiet to welcome the arrival of the two police officers.
But it's clear that the City of Fog can't be so quiet forever, and Lawrence knows that.
In the evening, he parked the police car by the river.
It's a river that runs through the city, with boats running between the ferries, the waves undulating.
It's a pity that the sunset can't penetrate the mist of the foggy city, and you can only see a little pale yellow color on the horizon.
Lawrence was going to treat him to a first meal, and at the convenience store by the river, he could only afford that. As a police officer, he lives on government handouts, and there is no way, who wants the police station not to pay his salary.
"Two burgers, a bag of fries, and two glasses of Coke. โ
Lawrence stood at the bar, ordering food from the convenience store clerk.
The salesperson looked at Lawrence blankly for a moment before reacting.
"Ah, good. โ
When he turned around to prepare the food, he would still sneak a peek at Lawrence from time to time.
It was the first time he had seen a police officer in this hellish place.
Standing at the door, looking at the seemingly familiar but very unfamiliar store, looking left and right for a while, her eyes were attracted by the row of small objects on the shelves.
It was a row of sunglasses, and Chu picked one up and put it on his face.
I have to say that she looks more like a female police officer in this way, and the sunglasses just cover the scar on her face, making her look no longer so special, although a female police officer in the fog is already very special.
The moment I put on my sunglasses, my vision darkened, but my vision was not affected.
She just felt that this thing had a magical effect that could change her vision, and curiously repeated the action of putting it on and taking it off.
It's easy to be attracted to some strange objects, which is a bad habit brought to her by B3068.
Lawrence looked at the appearance of the first sunglasses, raised his eyebrows, and then shook his head and smiled, should this so-called messenger he summoned be said to be childlike.
The salesman walked up to him with a bag of hamburgers and fries, gave him a strange look, and asked Lawrence.
"Do you want the sunglasses?"
"Let's do it together. โ
Lawrence shrugged his shoulders and pulled his wallet out of his pocket.
The wind by the river was a little strong, and the collar of the shirt was blown from time to time.
Lawrence sat on the hood of the police car, munching on a burger in his hand, looking at the city across the river.
At first, she had never eaten this kind of food called hamburger, maybe she had eaten it when she was a human being, but now she forgot about it.
She carefully opened the paper bag wrapped around the burger and took a tentative bite.
"Hmm. โ
Almost subconsciously, he whispered, and his eyes were fixed on the hamburger in his hand.
She loves this food.
Although to be exact, she loves every kind of food.
She really should try more, though, at least until her sense of taste is as gone as her sense of touch.
Blowing in the river breeze, Lawrence finished his burger, crumpled the wrapper in his hand, and threw it into the trash can by the railing.
Picking up a french fry and eating one, Lawrence looked deeply at the river.
After today, there should be no time to eat with peace of mind.
The undercurrent of the city will sweep towards the two of them, and if they can't resist it, they will be swept into pieces and there will be no room for anything.
But that's what he could have predicted in his plan, which is why he's so high-profile today.
He must let everyone know that the City of Fog is no longer the city without order it once was.
No one can kill people casually, there will be no more drugs that are openly sold, and no more criminals can go unpunished.
For this, he can do anything.
He is a man who insists on justice, and in his opinion even distorted justice is justice.
Lawrence stared into the distance, fries in his hand, but never ate them again.
"Lawrence. โ
Hatsu's voice rang out from the side, bringing Lawrence back to his senses.
"What's wrong?" Lawrence asked, looking back.
"This. Chu pointed to the fries in his hand: "Do you still eat them?"
Lawrence looked at the fries suspiciously, reacting to what he had meant, and smiled helplessly and handed the fries to her.
"You eat. โ
"Well, thank you. "Chu took the fries and started to try this new food, and by looking at her mouth that she couldn't stop, she knew that she would probably like anything she could eat.
"Chu. As he ate his fries, Lawrence put his hands in his pockets and leaned against the side of the police car.
"If only I could have your abilities. โ
The contract allowed Lawrence to know some of Haku's abilities, but unfortunately, he didn't know what the price would be for them.
Chu's mouth paused, raised his head and said seriously.
"My ability is the summoner, your ability, you can use it as you please. I'll do what you ask, Summoner. โ
Lawrence looked at it for a moment.
How to say it, if there was no grease stain on the side of her mouth when she first said this sentence just now, she still looks a little hard-handed.
"Huh. Lawrence looked down and smiled, "Okay, I hope you can do it." โ
As he spoke, he turned his head to look into the mist of the city.
"Otherwise, I'll both die ugly, and of course, it's not a big deal. โ
What is the point of dying one or two people in this city?
By the river, two people in police uniforms stood together, and the river wind seemed to blow their shadows.
The wind blew the sound of their talking.
"At first, did you think I was stupid to insist on such an illusory thing as justice. โ
"No, it won't. "The first time I saw someone who was stupider, and she wasn't smart herself.
"That's it. Lawrence said.
"Also, since they have already insisted, what can be done. โ
That's something he's been yearning for since he was a child, and he can't change it now if he wants to.

At that time, he always liked to run around with his father's hat, pretending to be a policeman, maybe it was from that time that he called persistence.
