Chapter 262 Token
Nevron Ka is like a person who has never appeared before.
His arrival was sudden and his departure was hasty.
If it weren’t for the bottle of diatomaceous earth and trinoctahedron in her hand, Emma even felt that she might forget the conversation at any time.
What made her even more confused was that she found that she could no longer remember Nephron's appearance in her mind.
...
In Milos' office, Emma stared at the two things in her hands and pondered for a long time.
When Nephron first told the story about nitroglycerin, she thought she would have to pay for all her previous sins.
But until Nephron left, she still didn't come back to her senses.
A strange feeling of loss lingers in my heart.
…
She was a little surprised why Milos hadn’t come back yet.
And when she got up to go out, she found some strange marks on the carpet.
Where Nephron walked, she saw some smaller, almost circular stains, as if they were made with the legs of a larger chair or table, except they were larger. Most round stains are split in half.
These stains are like footprints, moving forward alternately from left to right.
It looked nothing like the marks that human boots could make.
More like the marks left by some kind of...
an animal's hooves.
But Emma, who discovered the footprints at this time, could not remember at all whether she had seen Nefron's boots just now, and she had even forgotten his long coat that did not reach his feet... …
……
She met Professor Milos in the hallway.
Fang Zheng was having a good chat with Jason, the mathematics professor.
What made Emma feel chilling was that Professor Milos seemed to have completely forgotten about the meeting. He even acted very surprised when he saw Emma and asked her if she was ill. After getting better, she can go back to the college to attend classes...
Not only that, the entire college and everyone she knew had never heard of a visit from a professor from the University of Brightchester.
They have not seen any northerners wearing long clothes.
Emma rushed home as if she was running away, locked herself in the room, and curled up under the quilt.
She did not mention today’s events to anyone, including Enid, her best friend, and Milo.
…
Just in time, Milo, who had not changed his clothes for several days, returned home and was about to change his smelly uniform.
On the way back, he bought some bacon that little Finn liked to eat.
This will be his first dinner at home this week.
Of course, Kang will inevitably give him a scolding, but the whole city knows that dozens of people have disappeared inexplicably. It is said that they were all washed away by the canal water. The law enforcement office must be very busy. I believe Kang is completely understandable.
As for Emma.
“Knock knock knock.”
Milo knocked on Emma’s door.
He knew Emma was in the room.
While he was still downstairs, he could already hear Emma's heartbeat. What made him feel weird was that Emma's heartbeat rate was much faster today than before.
In order to make sure that this girl was okay, he decided to come up and confirm.
"Don't make any noise, I'm going to rest."
Emma's cold response came from the room.
Milo was used to this. Just making sure the guy still has the strength to squeak is enough.
"Okay, remember to come down and eat later."
In fact, Emma's attitude towards him is much better now than before. In the past few years, when Milo was hungover with Yan and his gang every day, Emma was extremely unkind to him.
I don’t know when it started, probably after the Sherman family’s incident, the originally pure cold attitude began to gradually change into hot and cold.
But overall, the relationship has eased, which is enough for Milo.
......
"I know, I know."
Emma's impatient response came from the room.
Milo shrugged and went downstairs.
He was completely unaware that in the room at this time, Emma was staring at the three-eight-sided crystal in a daze.
Her impression of Nephron Ka was so vague that she could not even remember the specific conversations they had.
I have even forgotten the fear I felt when I first saw those footprints in Milos' office.
Now all her attention is attracted by the trinoctahedron.
The crystal itself has nothing special. It is just a hard object. The strange brilliance it emits is just the refraction of outdoor light, and it looks ordinary in a dark room.
But the more it was in a dark environment, the more Emma felt that this thing... seemed to have something to say to her.
A strange, but not terrifying feeling surrounded her heart.
......
And Milo had no idea about all this.
His crisis perception did not respond at all.
At this moment, he had put on new clothes, packed his revolver and other equipment, put on his hat after confirming that everything was correct, and returned to the law enforcement station again.
......
Without anyone knowing, Dark Shadow has quietly passed through Nanwei City, and selected the assistant it favored, leaving behind his own token.
Unlike other ghosts from foreign lands, Nephron did not show his fangs here. He was not hostile to this land. He only enjoyed this moment of participation.
When everything turns to scorched earth, he will not refuse to be an elegant spectator.
...
Even the church does not know the purpose of his visit.
Just when he was about to bid farewell to this city, he took one last look at the high walls and 97 parishes here, as if he wanted to completely remember the appearance of this city in his heart.
He knew that he was not the first shadow to come, and he would never be the last.
The real sneaky things are still on the way.
He is looking forward to everything that is about to be performed here. Whether it is killing or annihilation, they are the most beautiful parts of the evolution of civilization, and they are destined to become one of his many repertoires.
“This land is not as barren as it seems on the surface, and it is not completely without resistance.”
He looked back towards the direction of the high church bridge on the outskirts of the city, and then turned And set his sights on the old ancient building of the Law Enforcement Station in the south of the city.
“But it is still too weak, and it cannot evolve after all. This will be the beginning of a new round of slaughter, hide away, Scarlet Shadow, you and your apostle, pray to everything, don’t meet My other thousand faces..."
Finally, Nefren Ka's eyes fell on the location of the law enforcement headquarters in the center of the city.
Facing there, he whispered softly:
"Yog-Sothoth, I look forward to seeing your heir again, but please remember, never hurt the assistant I like..."
