Chapter 15 Memories and Reality

On the streets of New York half a year ago, the lights in the old city were still dim at night.

With nothing to do, Chief Stacey parked the police car under the street light and was about to take a rest and eat the dinner brought by his wife Helen in the evening as a midnight snack.

But before he could open the lid of the lunch box, he saw an Asian young man walking out of the alley around the corner, holding a strange book and looking a little lost.

Sheriff Stacey looked at the little guy who was about the same age as his daughter and sighed silently in his heart.

In the many years he has been a policeman, he has seen a lot of this kind of little guy. Either he had a quarrel with his family and then ran away from home, or he had a major accident at home that led to an unacceptable mental breakdown, or he was I took some small pills at night, which caused me to lose consciousness.

Sheriff Stacy has always seen people very accurately. He could tell that the little guy who appeared in front of him was definitely not in the last situation.

If it were in an uptown area with good public security conditions, Sheriff Stacey would not care about this little guy, but this is an old city where thieves, robbers, drug dealers and even gangs are mixed.

"Hey, kid!" Sheriff Stacey reminded the young man: "Staying out so late is not a good habit."

The young man hugged the thick and strange book with his hands, his green face full of confusion and helplessness.

Sheriff Stacey noticed the expression on the young man's face. He held up the lunch box and gestured towards the young man: "Want something to eat?"

"No." The young man shook his head. He wanted to reject Sheriff Stacey's kindness, but his suddenly growling stomach made him somewhat embarrassed.

"Don't worry, kid, I'm a police officer." Chief Stacey opened the lunch box, placed the sumptuous dishes in the lunch box on the front hood of the police car, and greeted Su Heng again: "Come here quickly. "

In the end, the young man could not resist his hunger and walked to the police car to share the late-night snack that was supposed to be dinner with Chief Stacey.

"How about it? It's delicious." Sheriff Stacey drank the thick soup and couldn't help but laugh when he saw the young man eating the food happily.

"Yes." The young man nodded repeatedly, swallowed the fish in his mouth, and asked Sergeant Stacey curiously: "Sir, what is the name of this dish?"

"Lemon seabass, this is my wife's specialty!" Sheriff Stacey was also happy that someone could appreciate the dishes his wife cooked.

After all, this was not the first time Helen had brought dinner to Sheriff Stacey, but none of Sheriff Stacey’s colleagues were used to eating lemon seabass.

Of course, there are also reasons why Americans don’t like to eat fish.

After eating the late-night snack, Sheriff Stacey leaned against the car door and looked at the blank look in the eyes of the young man who was holding the strange book again.

"Take it, kid." Sheriff Stacey took out a few bills from his wallet and handed them to the young man.

"Although I don't know what happened to you, being confused can't solve the problem. Although the money is not much, it can also allow you to find a hotel to have a good rest and reset your mood."

The young man looked at the banknotes handed over by Sheriff Stacey, with a trace of hesitation on his face.

"Why are you hesitating? Take it!" Sheriff Stacey looked at the young man's indecisive look and forcefully pushed the money into the young man's hand.

The young man held the money in his hands and showed a hint of gratitude in his eyes.

"I will definitely repay this money to your husband!" The young man bowed towards Sheriff Stacey and looked at him firmly: "My name is Su Heng, please don't forget me!"

——

The memories gradually faded, and Su Heng's eyes gradually returned to clarity while sitting in the taxi.

Six months ago, Su Heng just traveled through time. Because the Clow Card did not recognize Su Heng as the new "Crow Card Magician", they ran away from home collectively and dispersed from the Clow Magic Book in Su Heng's hand. .

Poor Su Heng was holding the empty Clow's Magic Book and walking alone on the streets of New York.

If it hadn't been for meeting the enthusiastic Sheriff Stacey that night, eating that not-so-warm meal of lemon seabass, and getting the small amount of money he supported Su Heng, Su Heng wouldn't have cheered up so quickly. He got up, recovered the Clow card from scratch alone, and opened a dessert shop with a good reputation outside Zhongcheng Middle School.

"Sir, the New York Hospital for Special Surgery has arrived." The taxi slowly stopped on the side of the road, and the driver turned to Su Heng and reminded Su Heng with a smile.

"Thank you." Su Heng looked at the price on the meter, took out two bills from his pocket and handed them to the driver: "No need to look for them."

Amid the driver's compliments, Su Heng opened the car door and walked towards the hospital.

Outside the emergency room, Su Heng found Gwen, who was already squatting against the wall with her knees in her arms, frustrated.

"Gwen." Su Heng touched Gwen's head.

"Store Manager" The sad Gwen hugged Su Heng, and the tears that had stopped suddenly flowed down again: "I failed to protect my father! If, if I didn't have so many scruples at that time, , Dad, he won’t be so seriously injured.”

"Okay, okay." Su Heng patted Gwen on the back and comforted her in a low voice: "At least the situation is not as bad as it is, right? Calm down first, and then tell me what happened. ,Okay."

"Um."

Amidst Gwen's choking sounds, Su Heng gradually understood the cause of the matter.

It can only be said that as a New York police officer, Sheriff Stacy is too righteous.

When he and Gwen just drove to the hospital, Professor Connors, who had transformed into a lizard man, jumped down from the hospital's inpatient department, screaming madly at the passers-by, shouting "Norman! Norman!".

Sheriff Stacy, who was on vacation today, first reacted by stopping Professor Connors and telling Gwen to evacuate the surrounding people.

But how could Professor Connors, who had already fallen into a state of madness, be stopped by Sheriff Stacy? He just swung the thick tail behind him and knocked Sheriff Stacy out.

Gwen, who was hesitant and failed to stop him, saw this scene and hurried over to check on Sheriff Stacy's injuries.

Before she fell into a coma, Sheriff Stacy was still shouting for Gwen to leave quickly.

It was also because of this sentence that Gwen's mentality almost collapsed. She took off her coat, revealing her spider suit and started fighting with Professor Connors.

Gwen's crazy attack also made Professor Connors somewhat overwhelmed at the time. He quickly fled the hospital, but still shouted "Norman" in his mouth.

"Norman?" Su Heng noticed the name that Professor Connors was shouting in Gwen's mouth, and Professor Connors was originally an employee of the Osborn Group.

"If that's the case," Su Heng said to Gwen, whose mood had almost recovered, "I roughly know the next target of the lizard man."
