The sports car also came to a stop, and a man in a stylish tracksuit jumped out, holding a golf club in his hand. He pointed it at her angrily as he strode over.

The short-haired girl tidied her hair, then bent down and pulled a huge metal wrench from a bag by her bike, weighing it in her hand as she walked toward him.

As they got closer, the man with the golf club started to panic a little. He was the first to stop, hiding the club behind his back, and suddenly seemed a bit more refined and cultured.

They chatted for a while, surprisingly getting along quite well, even exchanging phone numbers. The sports car driver left with a happy face.

Only then did the short-haired girl return, stuffed the metal wrench back into the bag on her motorcycle, then took out her phone, tapped a few times, and looked up at her surroundings.

Henry Bennett's phone rang. When he opened it, he saw a message from the designer lady: "I got held up for a bit, Brother Henry where are you?"

"It really is her..."

Henry Bennett was dumbfounded, quickly stood up and waved to her, "Over here!"

Seeing the short-haired girl lock eyes with him, she happily waved back, then leapt over a railing and walked toward him. Henry Bennett hurried over to greet her.

"Hello, hello, Sophie... Miss Designer."

"..."

How is this Sophie the cute little girl? She looks more like a tough guy who needs a size 42 bag of concrete just to eat spaghetti.

"Aiya, you're Brother Henry?"

The pretty little girl who had greeted someone with a wrench bounced over to Henry Bennett, her eyes lighting up as she reached out her soft little hand and giggled:

"Miss Grace didn't lie to me, you really are a handsome guy..."

"..."

"No, no..."

Henry Bennett quickly reached out to shake her hand, afraid she'd be upset if he was too slow.

He sized up the short-haired girl and saw her sweet, adorable smile—the kind that could melt your heart with just one grin.

Although, in reality, she might be better at cracking open someone's skull...

"Don't blame me, okay? I wasn't late on purpose. I almost got hit by someone just now, scared me to death..."

The little designer Sophie smiled sweetly, making excuses for herself.

"It's fine, I just got here too..."

Henry Bennett explained, but secretly thought: You're obviously very good at handling disputes with people...

But he didn't dare say that, keeping a slightly stiff smile on his face as he let go of her hand. "What would you like to drink? My treat."

Even though he only had two hundred yuan on him, he still wanted to be polite and buy her a drink.

"You can order for me, I like it a bit sweet."

The girl was very considerate, just said that casually, then obediently sat down to wait.

"Are you sure you don't want a splash of Erguotou in it?"

Henry Bennett thought to himself, but still went to the counter. Soon, he came back with an iced Americano and a caramel drink, spending a full seventy yuan.

He hadn't gone out much in four years—prices had gone up so fast...

But he still kept a polite smile on his face. "Grace Cooper said I can ask you about anything I don't understand?"

"..."

"Of course!"

Sophie held her coffee in both hands and said, "I'm already a very experienced enhancement designer, Brother Henry, you can totally trust me in this area."

"Enhancement design?"

Henry Bennett had heard Grace Cooper mention this term before, but he was still a bit confused.

"That's right."

Sophie put down her coffee cup, took out a tablet from her fluffy pink backpack, and nodded her little head as she spoke:

"You know, we're already in such a creepy place, and we have to deal with so many creepy things."

"Of course, we need to find something to protect ourselves."

"..."

Henry Bennett listened, a little moved. "What kind of thing?"

Sophie smiled and said, "Dangerous things—the more dangerous, the more useful."

As she spoke, she laid the tablet flat and reached out her hand to Henry Bennett, beckoning, "Give me your info card."

"?"

Henry Bennett was stunned for a moment before realizing she meant the dark red card Grace Cooper had taken him to get yesterday. He took it out of his pocket and handed it to her.

Sophie pressed the card to the back of the tablet. A strange scene appeared: the tablet, which had just been displaying an ordinary shopping website, suddenly trembled slightly, as if it had gained a mysterious and eerie aura.

The text and images on the screen were being broken apart and reorganized, forming new content.

What finally appeared was a dark red, bizarre page that seemed to be stained with endless blood, with various options visible on it.

Henry Bennett looked at it and felt a crawling discomfort, as if ants were running all over his body. "What is this?"

"A way to communicate with the city..."

Sophie glanced at him with a smile and said, "This card lets us communicate with the city's will through all kinds of environments and electronic devices. You'll understand in time."

"Now, look..."

She smiled and handed the tablet to Henry Bennett. As he looked down, his heart suddenly gave a little tremor, and all sorts of strange names and exaggerated descriptions jumped into his view:
