Chapter 76: Credit goes to the head
This is the first time Milo has lost himself in a hallucination.
If he didn't wake up in time, he might just cut off his forearm...
In the room, Milo gasped and stared at Emma in confusion. After a long time, after confirming that he was really no longer in that dark underground cave, the bowie knife in his hand fell to the ground.
“I’m sorry...I don’t know either...”
He held Emma's frail body in his arms.
But the horrifying scenes in the cave still flashed back uncontrollably in my mind, and the mumblings of the mummy-like worshipers continued to ring in my ears.
"I...don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it's okay."
Milo felt the slight tremor coming from Emma's body.
He could only try his best not to think about those weird scenes, and patted Emma to gradually stabilize her mood.
...
"What on earth are you..." Emma was still a little shocked.
Milo forced to swallow the dried blood in his throat, reached out and took Emma's legs to pick her up.
"I'm fine, it was just a nightmare."
He knew that what he saw during his coma were all real scenes that had appeared from the perspective of the undead. The real experiences of Anna, Robben and Karl.
This was the first time that Milo fell into the perspective of the undead without using a totem, and he almost seriously injured himself.
But he had no way to explain to Emma.
In fact, he himself also had too many puzzles and confusions...
Milo kicked the bowie knife away from the ground, hugged Emma, and sent her upstairs. Room.
Find medical alcohol, medicine and bandages to disinfect and bandage her hands.
...
"Are you really okay?"
Emma sat on the corner of the bed and looked at Milo seriously, as if she wanted to find some clues from his face.
"It's okay~ It's okay."
After Milo wrapped the bandage, he gently put Emma's hand back on her knee.
"I'll wash up and then go back to the law enforcement office to see how far they've investigated Edward's case. If you're not too tired, clean up the mess next door. You know what I mean."
"The remaining raw materials have been disposed of before, don't worry." Emma knew very well what Milo was talking about. Although she saw Milo looking lively, she still felt uneasy: "Are you really Don’t you want to tell me?”
“Actually, I don’t know where to start. I will tell you everything after I figure it out.”
“ OK." Emma nodded obediently.
"Little Finn and Kang should have been shouted away. He will send them back later. Whatever you want to eat tonight, I will buy it when I come back." Milo rubbed himself Aching temples.
"Just come back early." Emma looked at Milo quietly.
"Okay, you have a good rest."
......
After briefly washing up and cleaning all the remaining blood on his body, Milo changed into Another law enforcement officer uniformed and rushed directly to the law enforcement office.
The matter with the Sherman family is not completely over yet. Although Anna and Edward’s other half certificates are now in their hands, Grace is temporarily under control, but after all, Edward is such a The murder case of the Great Earl is before us. If this matter is not handled well, it will still be very troublesome.
He did not blame Emma for her private actions at all, and of course, it was even less likely that he would sell Emma.
Killing one's relatives for justice is one of the most stupid behaviors in Milo's thinking. The level of stupidity is on the same level as eating shit. It is disgusting and he can't get any benefits.
Even if Milo now retains all the legal knowledge reserves belonging to Karl in his mind, these things can only be reduced to tools in his cognition and will not be affected by those values.
His original intention of putting on the law enforcement officer's black windbreaker was to protect himself, not to uphold justice, so it was impossible for him to hand Emma over to the court for the purpose of this outfit.
Rebecca said that Milo is the kind of person who has no awe at all.
What she said was right, but she only knew that Milo had no respect for the theory of ghosts and gods. What she didn't know was that Milo had no respect for the laws and rules of this world.
Because Milo is not from this world.
To put it in his tone - none of my business.
He just wants to protect the people he wants to protect, and puts aside other issues of principle.
To put it another way, Edward's death was a necessary condition for the negotiation this morning. If Edward had not died, it is estimated that the Varrocan family would have joined hands in heaven by now.
So now there are two major problems before Milo.
The first is how Edward's case will end.
Second, is what to do about your physical condition.
When excessive mobilization of body strength will inexplicably trigger sequelae, this is a rule Milo has discovered now, and the symptoms of this sequelae will become more and more serious as the number of triggers increases.
This made Milo have to reconsider what the red robe witch had said before.
She said that after seeing enough undead, Milo would completely forget his real life and fall into madness.
Milo didn’t really understand the meaning of this sentence at first.
But after what happened just now, where he was holding a bowie knife to remove the flesh and blood from his body, Milo knew that the witch's words were not alarmist.
At a certain moment, Milo truly regarded the experience that belonged to Karl as his own. When he was in the underground cave, Milo completely forgot that he had returned home, and there was Emma guarding him. With. Of course, it could also be that the extremely real and horrifying scenes kept him from thinking about these things. In short, he really couldn't distinguish between reality and fantasy, so much so that he cut himself and accidentally injured the people around him.
If you don’t wake up at the last moment, wouldn’t it be what the red-robed witch said: “falling into madness”?
This must be the "disaster" she has been talking about.
In short, Milo doesn't dare to use that totem anymore no matter what. He didn't want to really "fall into the abyss forever" as the witch said.
If he wants to save all this, he may really need the guidance of a witch.
The other party had made a clear request. She wanted Milo to offer the "Holy Communion".
As for what the so-called "Holy Communion" is, she didn't say it clearly, she only mentioned blood and flesh...
...
Milo had never missed that crazy woman so much.
On the way to the law enforcement station, he was always paying attention to every corner of the surrounding streets, trying to find the red-robed figure.
What is strange is that the witch who usually seems to be everywhere has been missing for many days in a row. Until Milo arrived at the law enforcement office, she was not found.
He was eager to find the witch and find out what the so-called "Holy Communion" was.
Judging from his current physical condition, this matter is already considered urgent, and has even surpassed the priority of Edward's case.
Milo didn't want to suddenly go crazy again one day and turn into a killing machine like Robben...
...
When Milo arrived at the law enforcement station, the hall Everyone in the room looked at him very strangely.
When he passed the gate, the guard brother who had been calling him "Brother Manhole Cover" excitedly punched his shoulder twice. His expression seemed to be congratulating him, which shocked Milo. Stunned for a moment.
In the hall, the busy law enforcement officers stopped what they were doing after seeing Milo. A few seconds later, the audience burst into applause.
Milo glanced back in confusion to see if there was any big shot behind him.
But he was the only one at the entrance of the hall.
“What’s going on?”
Milo looked at the black windbreaker in the room who looked sick, and walked around the hall into the office area suspiciously.
Here, he saw several familiar faces.
It's Jonathan.
And Grace sitting dignifiedly on a chair in front of him.
……
Why are these two plague gods again?
Milo frowned.
At this time, Rebecca, who was present, introduced to everyone: "This is the law enforcement officer we are talking about, Mr. Varrocan."
Hearing Rebecca's introduction, Ge There was a natural smile on Lace's face, as if she had met some great benefactor. She stood up, held Milo's hands, and said with great tenderness and gratitude:
"On behalf of the Sherman family, I My sincerest gratitude to you for finding my father’s murderer!”
"Huh?"
Milo raised his eyebrows.
He hasn't reacted yet.
After speaking the previous sentence loudly, Grace, who was very close, lowered her voice and said meaningfully:
"This is the first gift I give to you. A gift.”
There was sparse applause again.
......
Then there are all kinds of pleasantries between the Sherman family represented by Grace and the law enforcement system.
It wasn’t until the gang was sent away that Milo understood clearly. It turned out that during the few hours he was unconscious, a “murderer” had already surrendered to the law enforcement office and made it clear that it was Milo... Varrokan found and "influenced" his...
The whole process of the matter was very simple and outrageous.
This "murderer" is a descendant of Edward's hostile forces. His family lost to Sherman in the struggle, and finally chose to die together.
Not only that, he also possesses a small amount of liquid explosives. After identification, it is indeed similar to the explosives remaining at the explosion site. It is said that they were obtained from the Solomon Gang.
In short, it is a series of stories that sound very reasonable.
And it is reasonable to put this credit on Milo's head.
Milo doesn't even know the name and appearance of this "murderer"...
I don’t even know where Grace found such a scapegoat.
But according to her, this was the first gift she gave Milo.
Attention, it is the first one.
……
In the office of the Chief of Law Enforcement.
Rebecca stared at Milo suspiciously.
Milo looked at Rebecca calmly.
After the scene was frozen for almost a minute, Rebecca suddenly said: "You know that old woman."
Milo blinked: "This is the sixth sense of a young woman. "
"The credibility of this method of closing the case is a problem." Rebecca flipped through the documents on the table and then looked at Milo: "Do you have anything to add?"< br>
"Well...it's hard to say what I know."
