Chapter 102 Small Gift
“Why don’t you just take the whole notebook away?”
Rebecca asked.
“Wouldn’t that be considered burglary?” Milo shook his head: “We are law enforcement officers. Knowing the law and breaking the law will result in an additional penalty.”
Milo put on his hat and walked out. Freya's room.
"Let's go and have a look at Walker."
Rebecca glanced at the broken lock on the door panel of the room, too lazy to say anything more.
It turns out that Freya does know some unknown information. She has lived in Ikem for ten years and is a senior scholar herself. Perhaps she also has some knowledge about what is hidden deep in the barren mountains. Maybe there is some understanding...
Of course, this is just Milo's speculation. He has never seen this old woman in person yet.
“I’ll go back and change my clothes.”
Milo pointed to his wet shirt.
He planned to go back to the room and change a shirt.
But when I returned to the room and opened my suitcase, I was surprised to find that besides the spare clothes, there were a few more things in my broken suitcase.
A few tan glass bottles containing a special viscous liquid, and a note.
The note has Emma's handwriting on it:
"I'll give you a few small gifts to defend yourself and protect yourself—sister."
......
Milo felt that the hairs all over his body were standing on end, and his sleepiness was instantly swept away. .
Damn!
This is not a small gift.
This thing can send me away if I'm not careful!
I am so lucky to have such a big sister in the stall.
…
Milo never dreamed that Emma would leave such a big surprise for him.
He held his forehead with a painful look on his face, wondering how to deal with this hot potato.
However, he soon discovered that there was also a line of words written on the back of the note, and he took a closer look:
"Don't be too nervous. The bottle this time is reinforced and will not explode as long as it is not exposed to an open flame." "
Milo looked at the note for a long time.
But then I thought about it, I had lived in the same house with an explosive guy for so long, and if I were to die, I would have died long ago.
When I think about it, I feel relieved.
To be on the safe side, Milo still brought those small bottles with him.
After all, this hotel has been targeted, and it is not safe to leave Emma's little gift here.
......
Hang up the weapons and windbreaker again, and return to Rebecca.
“What did you do at night?”
Rebecca could smell Milo's sweat from afar.
"There was movement around the hotel yesterday. I suspected someone was watching us, so I chased us out."
There is no need to hide this kind of thing from Rebecca. It is still useful for each other to be vigilant. Necessary.
“You chased him out by yourself?” Rebecca looked solemnly: “I don’t want to kill you!”
The decibel she raised in vain made Milo stunned for several seconds.
"No, it's an emergency. If I had gone over to wake you up first, they would have disappeared long ago. I must have caught up with them as soon as possible." Milo spread his hands, expressing that he was being scolded. It doesn't make sense.
"So you were out chasing people all night? Did you catch them?" Rebecca looked at Milo seriously.
“Look at you, you said I was angry when I got up.” Milo half-squinted his eyes and took a step back subconsciously.
"Didn't I tell you? After arriving at Ikem, you must be cautious and cautious in all your actions. This is not Nanwei City! We have no backup team!" Rebecca yelled at Mai. Luo: "Karl died here in an unknown way. I don't want to bring another body back with me!"
"..."
This time, Milo didn't try to lighten the mood by changing the subject or joking.
Because he could feel that Rebecca was really angry. Of course, her anger was not entirely due to Milo's unauthorized actions. She was just afraid that Milo would kill her.
So Milo doesn't have the slightest objection to this kind of anger.
He knew very well that Rebecca came with emotions.
He also knew why Carl had been dead for so long and Nero allowed Rebecca to come here to investigate for the first time.
...
"Okay, I'll call you next time and I'll go over and wake you up."
Malora said with a long tail voice, trying not to get into Rebecca's troubles.
But he suddenly realized a problem.
If Nero has not allowed Rebecca to come to Ikem to investigate in order to protect her, then why doesn’t he come himself?
Of course, this question only flashed through Milo's mind.
There are still many mysteries that have not yet been solved, and Milo does not intend to complicate things.
Especially after last night, Milo had more questions.
The man who calls himself "Raven", he said that he was late, what he said, the body of the god buried in the ground has decayed, can it be understood that he just stopped the small town of Ikem? Someone whose disappearances over twenty years have begun to repeat themselves?
Did he dig out those things Karl saw before he died?
This man was chanting the prayers of the Golden Rule Church, but why was he sitting in the office building of a mining company? That's the territory of the Solomon Gang.
Could it be that there is some kind of connection between Solomon and the church? This is unheard of.
What do the fallen leaves that bring messages refer to?
What is Monsis?
...
If you put aside those confusing sentences for the time being, the only key information point that Milo can capture is "blood and flesh".
Raven hopes to find blood and flesh that can save all people.
And also with a similar desire, there is the red witch in Nanwei City.
She also made such a condition to Milo.
In her mouth, "Holy Communion" means blood and flesh.
With Milo's superficial understanding of religious doctrines, he only knew that the so-called Holy Communion did indeed refer to the flesh and blood of gods, but that was a statement from another world.
But coincidentally, it was also mentioned in the Raven's Notes - he dug out the decayed body of the god.
If all of this can be connected in series, it means that the Holy Communion that the Scarlet Witch needs is in the barren mountains south of Ikem.
Thinking of this, Milo suddenly felt motivated.
After not sleeping all night, his head became more and more groggy, but at the same time, the thoughts in his head were much clearer than yesterday.
Milo jumped twice on the spot and cheered up again.
Rebecca on the side looked at Milo with a strange expression:
“Does being scolded make you excited?”
“Yes, I am a pervert. I also like it when rich ladies step on me with high heels.”
Milo nodded seriously, earning a blank look from Rebecca.
The two of them talked without saying a word, and soon walked to Walker's residence next to the main road of the town.
Here, Walker's "family of five" have gotten up, and Kai is cleaning the plates used for breakfast.
The mess in the house yesterday has been restored to its original state, with only the door panel broken in two still standing outside the door.
Walker was currently reinstalling the door frame.
This guy is very proficient in using tape measures, saws and other carpentry tools, and works very neatly.
It seems that apart from being a law enforcement officer, he looks like nothing else.
......
"You are here, have you seen Freya?"
Walker saw Milo and Rebecca again, with a smile on his face meaning.
"I've seen it."
"Not yet."
Milo and Rebecca each answered their own questions.
At this time, Kai walked out of the house, holding the two teacups from yesterday in her hands, and handed the cups to Milo and Milo with a smile.
Kay is a little different today. She tied up her long hair and tied a long ponytail on the back of her head. She looks more energetic than yesterday. What remains unchanged is her The slightly haggard face is still so cute.
Just looking at her current appearance, there is no way to connect her with the person who was tied to the pillar late last night.
When Milo took the cup from Kai's hand, he noticed the new marks on her hand.
But Kai had no intention of hiding the wound.
She only whispered:
"Walker said that he told you all about my situation."
"Yeah." Milo raised his head, drank all the tea in the cup in two or three sips, and even chewed up the tea leaves and swallowed them.
Because he heard that tea has a refreshing effect. Considering that he has not slept all night, he should really increase the dose, otherwise today will be very difficult.
"We would like to ask about your curse... disease. Can you tell us?"
Milo swallowed the word "curse" that he almost blurted out. Went back.
He originally thought that Kai would resist talking about this topic, but unexpectedly she nodded naturally, took the empty cup from Milo's hand, and said to Milo:
"I'm going to make a cup of tea for my brother first, and we'll talk about it later when we get back!"
After saying that, she jumped back into the house with the empty cup.
Milo and Rebecca were left looking at each other.
On the way here, they even discussed how to do ideological work for Kai and let her express all her feelings. After all, she is one of the few remaining Ikemu Aboriginal people. , and the other three children are still young, and they probably can’t understand what they are going through every night.
But Walker didn’t expect that Kai seemed to be used to it.
...
When a new cup of tea was handed over to Milo, Kai had even pulled up a few small stools and set them up on the ground, waiting for Milo and Rebecca's "interrogation".
"Brother and sister, what do you want to ask?"
Kai asked them with his big eyes blinking.
“I’ve never seen anyone so cooperative.” Milo muttered and sat down on the stool.
Yesterday, I spent the money of two bottles of spirits just to pry open the mouth of the old madman Mogot.
“Do you know that you do that every night?” Rebecca didn’t want to waste time, so she went straight to the topic.
Kay nodded heavily and said:
"Yeah, I know, Grandma Freya told me a long time ago. She said that after dark, I will become another person. People can run around everywhere. Grandma Freya beat me several times when I was a child. Since then, I have never gone out in the dark. Because of this, I also learned to tie a rope to myself. It’s amazing, hehe... ”
