Family heirloom, then turned into a demon girl

Chapter 267 Mission: 05-4 Angels Arrive
Theoretically, the train should be arriving soon, but unfortunately Lu Mingfei had to wait for a whole day. Nero and Finger actually knew some of the inside story, but they didn't tell Lu Mingfei.

As a once-in-a-century S-rank hybrid, Lu Mingfei had been under intense scrutiny since someone in Cassel had leaked the news. The few days he'd been at Chicago Station had been a period of observation created by Finger and the "someone" behind him, so it was unlikely anything would change.

The next day, Su Xiaoqiang actually showed up with some food. Lu Mingfei, looking a bit slovenly after barely wiping his face last night and in the morning, took the bag from Su Xiaoqiang with a rather embarrassed expression, saying thank you so much.

"I definitely keep my word." Su Xiaoqiang tossed his slightly curly hair—it was a natural look—and looked at Finger, who had come closer, with a disdainful gaze, and asked, "Who is this?"

"Fingal von Frings, a fourth-year student at Kassel Academy."

He didn't mention the fact that he'd been held back four years at a time like this. Finger, who was even slouchier than Lu Mingfei, straightened his hunched back and actually looked quite impressive. He didn't look like a beggar, but rather a well-known elder of the Beggars' Sect. "She even came all the way here to give me something. My sister-in-law really treats Xiaolu very well!"

He gave a thumbs up and gave a typical eight-toothed smile.

Have you already called your brother and sister-in-law? Lu Mingfei scratched his head in confusion and looked at the bag in his hand. It was mostly filled with braised dishes like chicken feet and duck wings, which was a bit unexpected for him.

But think about it, there are only a few foods suitable for takeout, and they can buy hamburgers and cola and the like at the station. It is really these side dishes that are more cost-effective.

"I didn't let you run too far, did I?" Lu Mingfei asked with concern.

"It's just a short walk from subway to subway." Su Xiaoqiang waved calmly and sat down next to Lu Mingfei: "I don't have anything else to do anyway, so I came to accompany him for a while."

The latter part of her words were said to Fenger. From the corner of her mouth that raised, it was clear that she was quite pleased with Fenger's flattery. She kept hinting at Lu Mingfei with her eyes, as if to say: Look, your senior brother knows that I am good to you, why don't you bow down and kowtow?

However, Lu Mingfei pretended not to understand at first, and took out a bottle of water from his suitcase and handed it to Su Xiaoqiang: "It's so boring here, I can only stay in the waiting room, I might as well go shopping. You're new here too, shouldn't you buy some daily necessities?"

"Tsk, you ungrateful guy."

Su Xiaoqiang looked at Lu Mingfei with disdain and immediately pulled out something from his pocket that Lu Mingfei absolutely could not refuse: "You can think of something, how could I not think of it? Look at this."

Lu Mingfei's eyes widened immediately, and he yelled "Oh my god!", practically jumping out of his seat. Finger, who was already nibbling on chicken feet with cold water and gasping for air from the spiciness, sighed, "Oh!" He was quite impolite.

Not German at all.

The thing that made the two grown men unable to control themselves and exclaim was a PSP handheld game console. At this moment, Su Xiaoqiang, who was holding this thing, was truly an angel to Lu Mingfei.

"Call me sister so I can hear it?" Su Xiaoqiang shook the PSP in his hand proudly.

"Sister!" Lu Mingfei called out with such deep affection, "You are my real sister!"

"Oh, that won't do. Siblings can't be in love." Su Xiaoqiang pretended to put away the game console, then burst out laughing at Lu Mingfei's stiff expression. "I'm not teasing you anymore. Here."

Then she took out another one, obviously having come ready to play games together.

Lu Mingfei's heart moved, and he took the initiative to hold Su Xiaoqiang's hand.

This wasn't their first handshake, but Su Xiaoqiang had always been the one to initiate it, usually to assert ownership. This time, Lu Mingfei's initiation seemed to have a different meaning. This actually startled Su Xiaoqiang. "What? So sudden?"

She glared at Lu Mingfei, her cheeks flushed slightly.

"...Nothing." Lu Mingfei awkwardly put down his PSP and scratched his head, intending to pull his hand back. However, just as he loosened his grip, Su Xiaoqiang grabbed him again.

"Why be so scared?" she said with a chuckle.

Finkel on the side shook his head, sighed, took out a textbook from his backpack, and stood between himself and them.

"People these days." His sigh came through the book. "If you're like this, why don't you just give me the game console? I can operate it with one hand."

Su Xiaoqiang immediately pulled his hand back.

"Then uh, let's play games."

She seemed to bite her tongue while speaking, her face flushed, and a gleam appeared in the corners of her eyes.

"Oh, oh." Lu Mingfei nodded repeatedly.

When it comes to online games on the PSP, Monster Hunter is undoubtedly the top choice. Looking at Lu Mingfei, who was teaching Su Xiaoqiang how to play the game while translating the Japanese content for her, Finger sighed, shook his head, and continued to gnaw on his chicken feet alone.

Maybe if Lu Mingfei and Su Xiaoqiang played for a while longer, he would have eaten all the chicken feet.

But occasionally, they would chat briefly with Finger in the middle of the game, mainly about some issues related to Kassel College, such as where the campus is located, when can they go out freely, and what social activities are there with the University of Chicago... and so on.

Su Xiaoqiang regretted that, as a school for mixed-race students, the dangerous environment meant that Kassel Academy was completely closed off. Located within a nature reserve, access to the campus was limited to train or helicopter, and students were not allowed to enter or leave the campus independently during the semester. During this time, she could only communicate with Lu Mingfei remotely.

Su Xiaoqiang stayed at the station all day, leaving only when it began to darken. The PSP remained in Lu Mingfei's hands, while the chicken feet and duck wings had all turned to bones.

Fingle probably ate at least half of it.

Then came the third day that Lu Mingfei was stranded at the Chicago train station. Su Xiaoqiang wouldn't be coming today, but Lu Mingfei still welcomed a new guest: Nero, who had finally arrived in Chicago.

"You've been waiting here for two days?" Nero looked surprised, but it was mostly an act.

"Yeah." Lu Mingfei replied with a bitter face, "Didn't we say the higher the level, the faster it would come?"

"S-rank is something that only happens once every century, so it's normal for some bugs to appear." Finkel burped, his eyes lighting up when he saw Nero. "Hey, junior! You're a big hit among the freshmen this year!"

"Hello, senior brother." Nero tilted his head with a smile.
