Chapter 234: The stool is gone
At this time, the rain has stopped and the sky is clear.
Most of the comatose people on the street have woken up and have been taken to the hospital one by one by law enforcement officers and medical teams for examination and treatment.
Milo called two colleagues and asked them to escort his family home.
I stayed to help clean up the mess.
Glaki slipped away, leaving behind a broken bridge and a list of missing persons that was about to be compiled.
Milo could imagine Rebecca writing reports anxiously in the next few days.
Thankfully, when the incident happened, basically all the people nearby were affected by Mengyin, because they didn’t know what happened on the canal, and many people were in a daze. When I woke up, I found myself lying in the puddles on the roadside, soaked to the skin, and feeling nothing but cold.
So it’s not that there is no angle at all to create a convincing story, but this is not something Milo needs to worry about.
What he is not sure about now is whether Grachi has left Nanwei City.
And whether the mastermind behind summoning it here has been caught or not is the key point.
......
The law enforcement officers have taken control of the entire crime scene.
The good news is that the crowd did not panic because basically no bodies were found at the scene.
Milo walked back to the riverside streets of Penitentiary Pier and only saw some thick green liquid on the roadside.
"Green corruption."
Investigator C seemed to see Milo's confusion. He followed Milo's pace, wiped the lenses of his glasses, pointed to the sun hanging above his head and explained:< br>
“The servants of Glaaki are afraid of strong light. Strong light will deprive the servants of the active factors it gives them, forcing the dead to return to dust and return to dust. We call this the iron law of nature.”
Milo glanced at the silver metal badge on Investigator C's chest:
"Miskatonic."
"University." Investigator C nodded and added.
“I’ve heard this name several times.” Milo muttered.
The first president of the Gus Association went to this university. After returning, he became extremely obsessed with the occult.
"Really? Then you are well-informed. Very few people know the existence of our university." Investigator C does not seem to be shy about others mentioning his origins.
"What are you here for?" Milo looked at the strange but somewhat familiar man in front of him.
"For Glachi." Investigator C had no intention of hiding anything. He said frankly: "After the news of the hanging corpse case reached the university, I received the dispatch order immediately. The task was to prevent... To prevent things like this from happening.”
When talking about the mess on the confession dock, Investigator C showed a slightly ashamed expression.
"Is this what your university does?" Milo didn't think this had any direct relationship with Investigator C, although he did destroy a bridge.
“Not exactly, we are only responsible for research. Dealing with emergencies like today is not our expertise. We just know more than ordinary people, and we have to rely on you more often. Such a person." Investigator C said something that was complimentary but not awkward.
"That time in the Severn Valley..." Milo didn't hide it, and asked directly about the past events that Charles had said.
"I am that consultant." Investigator C admitted frankly.
He was not surprised that Milo knew the truth.
If Milo knew nothing about all this, he would feel strange.
“We have always kept in mind the details of the past. It was very likely that there were family members in that village who fled to Nanwei City, so the school has been paying attention to Nanwei City these years.” “It turns out that So." Milo nodded.
Investigator C continued to explain: "Perhaps the law enforcement system's approach to the Severn Valley matter was a bit extreme, but it was the most efficient solution at the time..."
"I don't care about this." Milo waved his hand. : "What did you use to destroy that bridge?"
"Old seal."
Investigator C's answer was simple:
"It's us The rune carriers containing ancient power collected from some ancient ruins have a certain effect on dispelling the old rulers. My mentor called it the stool of the old gods, because its function is to make these rulers feel sick. It works well most of the time, except today.”
"Poop." Milo moved his eyebrows: "It's a very appropriate description."
When Milo wanted to ask more questions, Investigator C suddenly screamed strangely:
< br>"Oh no, three old seals fell into the river! Oh my god, the professor will kill me!"
His reaction arc seemed a bit ridiculous, because the old seals fell into the river. It happened a long time ago. He was sitting here leisurely and playing with Milo for a long time before he remembered this.
This made Milo think that the Jiuyin thing was really a disposable consumable like "poop", and it would be useless if thrown away.
"It turns out that I have to pick up this shit."
Milo muttered calmly.
He moved his fingers, and the seven black figures beside him plunged into the canal...
...
"Please! Varrokan Sir, please help me find those three old seals! Thank you very much!" Investigator C grabbed Milo's hand and didn't intend to let go.
Just in time, Milo didn't intend to let this guy jump into the water to look for it, so he hooked his shoulder and said, "Hey, brother, don't worry, don't worry, the South District is my territory, as long as those few pieces of shit It’s still in the canal, I will definitely find it for you, don’t worry~~”
But in fact, the line in my heart is - it rained so heavily, it is reasonable for it to be washed away by the river.
......
The incident at the Confession Pier has come to an abrupt end here.
Law enforcement officers from various ministries gathered to conduct search and rescue operations. Only Milo, C, Yan and Emma knew the truth.
The truth is that those who survive will be fine, and those who unfortunately die will not be able to find their bodies.
As expected, this will be another shocking unsolved case. It depends on how the senior officials of the law enforcement agency make up the story.
What Milo needs to worry about is the mastermind behind the scenes and other living corpses that may be hiding in the city.
After all, Milo could not guarantee that all of the 20 crew members who disappeared in the first place would turn into green corruption.
“And that damn church, you can see those goddamn gray-robed men every day when you have nothing to do. Now that such a big thing has happened, why can’t you even see a ghost? What the hell? Hiding, right?”
Milo looked at the busy law enforcement officers at the scene, who were secretly cursing, but when he turned around, he found that the official Dillashaw was standing behind him.
"I think we may have a lot of things to talk about in detail."
Dillashaw's face was as usual, with an unchanging polite smile.
