Chapter 124 The disappearing fly


Chapter 124 The Disappearing Fly

“Wait a minute, what’s going on now?”

Milo stared at Kai standing next to Rebecca with a puzzled look.

Kay's face was still so haggard. I don't know how much she remembered what happened that night, but she seemed a little absent-minded.

"Gelide cannot accommodate this child, you should understand what I mean, and...this is also what Nero means. He wants us to take Kai back." Rebecca explained cryptically.

Walker and the other children died.

And the local law enforcement officers found Freya’s body in the underground cave, which means that there will no longer be anyone willing to take care of Kai, and the town of Ikem will be in the process for a long time. It will be in a state of lockdown for a period of time, and there is no place for Kai in Galeed City.

"Is that so?" Milo thought thoughtfully.

But he didn’t ask any more questions.

He could tell that something was not right about Kai. Normally she was very cheerful and talkative, but now she remained silent with dull eyes, indicating that she probably knew what happened that night. Maybe he has already cried, maybe he has not recovered from the grief.

"Then let's go."

Milo is not good at comforting people, and he doesn't think that verbal comfort can have any effect at this time.

The three of them remained relatively silent, and no one touched on that painful topic.

Milo didn't know how things in Ikem Town would end up, but he knew very well that he and Rebecca should not stay here any longer.

The Galid people have an understanding of the town of Ikem based on their traditional concepts, and that attitude is incomprehensible to outsiders.

Now that things have developed to this point, at least there will be no more innocent people missing in the barren mountains in the south.

But the real murderer was not caught.

All the Solomon gang members left.

To be more precise, the real murderer never showed up at all.

The person who dug out that underground cave was Raven, and he left Ikem three years ago, leaving behind this mess...

In other words, with the death of Walker and the other three children, there is no way to settle this account.

“By the way, where is Mogot?”

Milo suddenly remembered the old madman.

"He left after giving this thing to me, saying it was left for you. He said you should be able to understand what he meant." Rebecca took out an old and crude one from her arms. The family crest was thrown to Milo.

The badge was made of pressed brass and was covered with patina, but the totem of the copper grass flower could still be barely seen.

“The coat of arms of the Delamain family,” Rebecca added.

Milo looked at the badge in his hand and thought for a moment, then put the badge away and asked:

"Is your injury okay?"

Although Rebecca was wearing a black windbreaker, Milo could tell from her inconsistent steps that Rebecca was injured.

"Small problem."

Although the fight in front of the town's law enforcement office that night was very dangerous, Rebecca didn't mention much about it and just talked about it lightly.

......

The Galeed Law Enforcement Office sent people to take Milo and the three to the train station in a carriage.

Just when they boarded the train back to Nanwei City, a heavy rain fell from the sky without warning.

The huge raindrops hit the metal skin of the train like bullets, making a harsh and noisy roar.

Passengers on the train quickly closed their windows.

Only Milo and Rebecca looked at the clouds and heavy rain outside in a daze. When the two of them first arrived in Galede City, the sky was clear and the surrounding scenery was pleasant. Who would have thought that they would encounter such bad weather before leaving.

Just like their mission...

"Things aren't getting much better, are they?" Milo muttered expressionlessly.

On the whole train, Rebecca was the only one who could understand what Milo said.

She sighed and didn't respond.

He just stretched out his hand to close the glass window and cover the curtains, then took out a blanket and draped it on Kai next to him.

The three of them sat in the same booth.

This was Kai's first time riding a train, and it was also her first time seeing a train, but she didn't show any surprise or curiosity. After entering the compartment, she was like a wounded animal. He hugged his legs and curled up to the corner of the seat, staring at the cup on the table in a daze without saying a word, with a sad look that made people feel sad.

Milo inexplicably felt a sudden craving for cigarettes.

It had been a long time since he had felt this way, but he knew very well that neither nicotine nor alcohol could change anything. The return trip of more than ten hours would be much longer than the time he came here.

When you are feeling very depressed, taking a nap is actually the best way to heal, at least it can provide temporary escape.

But Milo couldn’t sleep anyway.

He had been sleeping for more than thirty years and disappeared. In addition to being completely tired now, the wounds on his body were constantly sending pain signals to his brain, making it impossible to sleep.

Moreover, none of the three of them can be considered truly safe until they completely arrive at Nanwei City.

Nero's urgent request for their immediate return must have his concerns.

Don’t forget what happened on this train last time.

This mission in Ikem Town can be said to have destroyed a good thing of the Solomon Gang. At least their mining industry in Galede has been cut off. If they want revenge, If so, repeating the same old tricks is a very good choice.

So even though Milo is very sleepy now, he can't fall asleep.

Especially now that there is a child in the team who lacks the ability to protect himself, he and Rebecca have to be even more vigilant.

At this point, Milo and Rebecca have a tacit understanding.

Both of them were sitting on the side of the cubicle near the door.

Just sitting quietly.

The picture that can be imagined is that if there are any blind assassins or killers looking for trouble at this moment, how miserable they will die.

However, the fact is that after the train started, there was silence on the car.

The bad weather seemed to have the power of hypnosis. The passengers in the carriage began to feel drowsy, and there were very few sounds of smoking and chatting.

Milo took out his pistol with some boredom and began to clean the blood and sand on the frame of the gun.

He suddenly found a fly sitting on the back of his hand.

The little guy must have been driven into the carriage by the heavy rain, and he was shaking his blue scaly wings.

Milo gently placed the pistol on the table, curled the fingers of his other hand and slowly approached the fly, preparing to kill this annoying thing that would buzz when it flew. Bounce away.

But just when his stretched fingernails were about to throw out at the fly, the fly that was parked on the back of his hand quietly faded from Milo's perspective.

It disappeared...

Milo felt a chill in his heart.

He looked up suddenly to say something to Rebecca, but found that he was no longer in the train car.
