Lin Ao and his party spent almost all their money before passing the security check in Chicago. As soon as the three of them entered the city, they saw armored vehicles and a black Hummer with the "Mr. Lucas" logo patrolling the city. The citizens couldn't avoid it. Someone might get out of the Humvee at any time and arrest ordinary citizens. As for where they would be taken, no one dared to ask.
Young men like Lin Ao and Edward were likely to be dragged by patrolling convoys to work as coolies or mercenaries, so the three of them had to shuttle through the market like thieves to avoid Humvees. Dmitri asked impatiently: "Edward, originally we could just take you away. But now we have ventured in to help you find friends. Do you know where your friends are?"
Edward ran and said, "Well...hehehe, to be honest, I don't know."
"What??" Dmitri stopped suddenly and grabbed Edward's back collar.
"Don't worry. Although I don't know, he has sneaked into Mr. Lucas's side. As long as we find a way to get close to Mr. Lucas, I can find him!"
"Damn! I'm so stupid! I should have asked you before entering the city!" Dmitri roared.
"Hey, since you are here, just be good and do it to the end. I will treat you to a good meal when you get back."
While Dmitry was still bargaining with Edward, Lin Ao was taken away by a street solicitor. Edward was startled: "Brother Lin! We can't go there, we have no money!"
But Lin Ao had already been taken into a basement. Edward didn't have time to think about it. He shouted "Get out of the way!", knocked away the bodyguard blocking the door, and rushed into Lin's room.
Fortunately, Lin Ao was not taken far away. Edward flattened him, and Edward cursed: "Are you stupid? This kind of place is very expensive!"
Lin Ao asked innocently: "Huh? They don't want money?"
"You are really stupid! They want to trick you into borrowing loan sharks! And I don't even have a place like this..."
Before Edward could finish, he heard loud music playing in the basement, and then there was a roar of people, cheers and insults. A man with strong penetration held a microphone and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, today is our competition. It's about to start. Let me first introduce the player in blue. He is a HER soldier. His wife on Earth owes Mr. Lucas a lot of money. If he can't go back standing now, his wife will...! The player in red opposite him is a member of the North American Rescue Alliance. Today he is very lucky. After being a slave for a long time, he finally has the opportunity to face off against the HER devils. Come on, come on, everyone bet on the player you support. !!”
The crowd became more noisy. Both Edward and Lin Ao were confused by what they had just heard. At this time, Dmitri grabbed them and ran away before other security guards dared to come.
Lin Ao was obviously frightened by what he just heard. He ran: "This, this is their wonderful show?? It's so inhumane!!"
Dmitri: "Now are you sure what kind of person Mr. Lucas is? He is a vampire disguised as a philanthropist, Edward!"
"Mad!" Edward cursed: "I must find my friend quickly!"
The security guards were chasing after them, and the three of them were not familiar with Chicago. They ran around like headless flies and even ran into the street.
"These people won't chase them into the street, right?" Edward was lucky.
After running for a while, the security guard was nowhere to be seen. The three of them panted and slowed down. But just as they stopped, several Humvees ran out of nowhere and surrounded them. Without a word, they knocked the three of them down with stun guns...
An hour later, Lin Ao slowly got up and found himself in a cell, with the area where he was electrocuted still aching. Edward and Dmitri, who were in better health, had already woken up. He could hear Edward teasing: "I, Mr. Dmitri, have you been cursed? You can't do the job as the original investigation captain. Last time we volunteered to investigate and caused such a big mess, and now we are locked up again. Are you, are we all going to be unlucky as long as you are around?"
Like a deflated ball, Dmitri first retorted: "I started memorizing words only after meeting you!" Then he lowered his head and muttered to himself: "I'm not really cursed, am I? Could it be..."
Lin Ao: "Stop bickering, you two. Where are we now? Is there any way to get out?"
Edward spread his hands: "I would have escaped if I had a way out! We were captured by the black Hummer convoy, and it must be in Mr. Lucas's dungeon."
Lin Ao scratched his head: "Why are you arresting us? Do you recognize us?"
Dmitri still lowered his head and said, "Who asked you two to be watched? Now you know it's not easy to be a celebrity."
Edward, who was still in his formal form, pointed at Lin Ao: "I don't think so. Look at Brother Lin's portraits of boys and girls. Mr. Lucas must have fallen in love with his beauty, and that's how he got in trouble for both of us!"
Lin Ao raised his fist to hit Edward, but heard footsteps coming from the deep corridor outside the iron stack. After a while, a young man in a suit and leather shoes with a dignified appearance but only one ear walked outside the iron fence. Edward recognized the person at a glance and ran over excitedly and grabbed the railing: "Brown! You are Brown! What's wrong with your ears? I came to Chicago just to see you!"
When they heard that this was the person Edward was looking for, Lin Ao and Demetri also trembled. Since Edward's friends can come and go from prison as they please, maybe they can be let out?
Edward also thought of this and reached out to ask Brown for the key, but Brown said coldly: "Edward, you are so stupid, why did you come to Chicago?"
Edward was stunned: "Huh? I want to persuade you to leave Mr. Lucas, he is a bad person!"
Brown touched the left side of his face without ears and said, "Looking at me like this, don't you have a deeper understanding than you?"
"Mr. Lucas cut off your ear? Let me out and I will avenge you!"
Brown shook his head: "I cut it myself to get closer to Mr. Lucas, even though it was his request... I don't have time to chat with you, Edward. For my wealth, I can only sacrifice you."
"What do you mean?"
"I can't now, but you will know. Here you go, if there are people you know outside, just say goodbye to them."
Brown threw down an old-fashioned mobile phone and left. Edward shouted his name loudly and knocked on the railing hard, but received no response.
"Brown, why..."
Edward rarely shed tears. Lin Ao didn't know how to comfort him, so he could only put his hand on his shoulder.
"Give me your phone."
Dmitri suddenly spoke, his tone different from his previous depressed state.
Edward wiped his tears and asked, "Huh? Are you going to say goodbye to someone?"
Dmitri shook his head and asked, "We are still in Chicago, right?"
"Were you stunned by the electric shock?"
"I asked you if you were."
"Nonsense, are we in New York?"
Dmitri stood up and picked up the phone: "Maybe I can call someone to save us..."
