Chapter 258 Letter
After Rebecca regained consciousness, Milo no longer needed to stay in the intensive care unit.
Part of the reason for insisting on single-person guarding these days is to guard against possible living corpses, and part of the deeper reason is that Milo is worried about Rebecca's condition.
It’s not that I’m worried about her injuries.
What he was worried about was Rebecca's brain.
Investigator C’s popular science is still very valuable.
San value, after an ordinary person with a normal worldview has experienced too many abnormal events, as the san value weakens, his brain will gradually fall into the abyss of madness, and he may be lost forever. Own.
In Milo's view, whether Rebecca can wake up does not depend on the recovery of her injuries, but on whether she can withstand those things that subvert her cognition but that no one can give her. Something she explained perfectly.
Facts proved that Rebecca was able to hold on.
In other words, her san value has not been completely cleared.
...
"Maybe kittens really have the ability to heal the soul."
This is a relatively reasonable explanation that Milo has found so far.
However, Milo was very satisfied to see the smiles on the faces of the other two people who came back alive from Ikem.
Perhaps human beings are not as fragile and vulnerable as C said.
...
As Rebecca wakes up, there will definitely be a large group of "enthusiastic" people coming to express condolences, and the law enforcement team will naturally need to send additional manpower for care.
And it was time for Milo to leave the intensive care unit and do his own business.
He first went to the top floor of the hospital building to check on the "sunbathing" of the living corpses.
Fortunately, God was kind enough to give us an hour of scorching sunshine today, so that the rotting meat that should not continue to move completely turned into dust.
Milo did not go back to the intensive care unit to glare at the unfamiliar leaders.
After confirming that none of his belongings were missing, he returned directly to the law enforcement station.
......
The news of Rebecca's awakening has been sent back to the law enforcement agency first.
The law enforcement office, which had seemed lifeless under the heavy pressure from its superiors for several days, finally had some vitality. This should be regarded as the biggest piece of good news in these unfortunate days.
No one wanted anything to happen to Rebecca.
“Cheer up, brothers.”
“The boss is here, you can hear her scolding in a few days.”
……< br>
Criminal Investigation Team Office.
It's 7 o'clock in the morning.
Milo thought that at this time, old Xion would still be lying among a group of women and had not woken up, but when he opened the office door, he found that this guy was already smoking there.
"The smog in Nanwei City is caused by you guys."
Milo walked into the office with his hands waving, and pushed open the window glass.
"I heard that you worked as a nanny in the hospital for a few days." Old Xion puffed away while reading the morning newspaper.
"Well, since I came to your world, there has never been a woman who can make me do my best like this." Milo muttered jokingly.
"I don't know anything else. As for Rebecca..." Old Xion turned around and looked Milo up and down: "With your body, I guess you will be a pain at best."< br>
“Tch~” Milo snorted loudly.
Too lazy to continue dwelling on this topic.
The virility of a real man is never proved by his words.
Oh, of course, the mouth can also be proved under special circumstances...
... Milo walked back to his office. On the desktop, in addition to the trip report of the past few days and the forms that need to be filled in for weapons records, Milo walked back to his office. , and a tan envelope.
Stamped above is the seal of "Miskatonic University".
The signature is a single letter - C.
"Huh?"
Milo was a little confused.
Why did this guy go to such trouble to write a letter when he was clearly in Nanwei City? Is there something he couldn't say in person?
You didn’t realize that I took away his old seal, did you?
……
Milo sat down, opened the envelope and took out the letter inside.
"Dear Mr. Varrocan..."
C's handwriting is very beautiful.
Every stroke is in the style of classical calligraphy respected by academics. However, it is not difficult to see that the wounds left by the cuts he made on his hands at the Penitentiary Pier had a profound impact on him. The writing caused certain difficulties, and some subtle handwriting was inconsistent.
——"It's a pity that I didn't have enough time to stay in Nanwei City. I like this ancient city from the bottom of my heart, and there are still many things that I haven't had time to communicate with you..."
"Why does it sound so gross?" Milo muttered secretly.
——"The fact is that some unfortunate news came from the Severn Valley in the far northwest. The old rulers who returned to their habitat did not choose to hide. New turmoil has occurred, and that land is in urgent need of With the help of the investigators, I can only leave without saying goodbye..."
"I hope sir can help me with the unfinished business. The three old seals are just one of them. If you really can't find them, just treat them as... Their fate is destined to stay in Nanwei City..."
"What this letter wants to convey is the will of the professors of the University of Michigan. The following is the professor's warning to me. I will convey the original words to You, Mr. Varrokan, the trouble will not stop here, other families will imitate this matter, and the shadow will come quietly in the long night, please be careful."
"Fortunately, in Nanwei City. With people like you in charge, I hope the people here will not be disturbed by the shadows.”
——C.
…
Milo fiddled with the short but nonsense letter in his hand and slowly frowned.
What does it mean that dark shadows will come quietly in the long night.
Can’t you speak human language?
Even a talkative guy like the Scarlet Witch has begun to learn to speak human language after communicating with Milo several times. A guy like Investigator C who usually speaks normally, why does his tone change when he writes letters? Woolen cloth.
"Hey..."
Milo sighed.
However, although the letter was very confusing, he could still understand the general meaning.
According to what he meant, this would not be the only unrest caused by the family members.
In short, Nanwei City should be the lucky one selected, and there may be Old Dominators or other weird things appearing here in the future.
The specific reason is unknown.
Milo has no doubts about the authenticity of what Investigator C said in this letter.
He had started to encounter strange things after all.
Like Rebecca’s cat.
Can anyone explain where the kitten that can only kill two living zombies comes from?
No.
It would be much easier if the cat could talk by itself, but unfortunately it can only meow.
......
Just when Milo's thoughts were confused.
Old Xion suddenly stood up and walked to the corridor, shouting towards the law enforcement hall downstairs:
"Is there anyone with nothing to do? Butch! It's just you, go and give it to our law enforcement officer." Give me a fruit basket! You really don’t know any etiquette.”
