Chapter 340 The Ripper
......
Milo went to the south of the city to search for law enforcement.
The main purpose is to change into a clean windbreaker without body odor.
Then he slipped out again.
He first went to the abandoned monastery in the north of the city to meet the Scarlet Witch and briefly explained some things.
Including what he gained last night when he reviewed the memory fragments of Glaki.
"Have you found the whereabouts of Idhela?"
That is a strange, twisted alien god that the Scarlet Witch once showed to Milo. She is like a huge fleshy The plant is connected with countless winding tentacles, and in the flower-shaped tissue blooming at the top, stands the shadow of a woman exuding pure white holy light.
That was the way the Scarlet Witch provided Milo to get rid of the Hound.
As long as Milo can find the lost god Idhela and provide her information to some ancient beings, such as her former lover, he can redeem the method to cut off the curse of the hound.
The fact is that Milo's spiritual vision has improved a lot in the past six months.
The main method is to constantly ask for copies of ancient classics from Investigator C of Miskatonic University and recite them.
As for plundering.
After the hunter incident was over, those black shadows faded out of sight, Munguia also disappeared from the world, and Milo never saw another psychic again.
There is no prey, so there is no hunting.
So in the final analysis, we have to rely on the crystallization of wisdom of those predecessors - the evil classics.
This seems to confirm the widely circulated saying: Knowledge is power.
"No, Glachi is a coward. It has never witnessed the battle in the universe. All the pictures are too fragmentary."
Milo shook his head: "I'm a little bit I’m curious, if I was confirmed to be dead, would this news still be valuable?”
"Then you may have to find out who killed her."
The Scarlet Witch responded lightly:
"But you are probably overthinking. The Outer God is immortal in the narrow sense. There is even no such thing as death for them. This is a cognition that only humans have."
"I understand."
Milo nodded.
The Scarlet Witch changed the topic: "Some sneaky things have been around recently. I suggest you keep an eye on that kitten. If it travels between the dreamland and the real world too frequently, there will always be something you can't help but I want to do something here through the gaps in those spaces."
"I will tell Rebecca to take an interest in Marshall."
Milo has already known about Marshall's existence. Got it figured out.
This cat that suddenly appeared was confirmed by the Scarlet Witch to be a creature from the dreamland.
It was to protect Rebecca that he jumped out and devoured two living corpses in the hospital.
Traveling between two worlds with different concepts is the innate ability of their species, just like Grasso's invisibility.
Just the gaps opened by Marshall will attract the attention of other creatures in the dreamland.
Although Milo doesn't know much about the so-called dreamland now, neither the evil books nor the Scarlet Witch rarely mention things in the dreamland.
Milo only knew that cats were a very powerful race in that world.
They are organized, have armies, and have leaders, and they are all over the dreamland. They can even tear certain mythical creatures with their claws. If you provoke these cats in some special places, you will die miserably. Because of the curse, legend has it that the place was named Uzzah.
Anyway, the main reason why so many descendants of strange religions were awakened in Nanwei City overnight six months ago was the arrival of Marshall.
It tears the barrier between two worlds.
Let some people in the dreamland finally get a glimpse of the real world hidden deep in the chaos.
So there are so many, what the church calls the Apostles of Disaster, those guys on the list of the hunter organization.
But Milo always felt that it was just a coincidence. The disaster predicted by the Monsis School of the Church was most likely different from the looks from the dreamland, because this matter had nothing to do with blood therapy. relation.
It all started because a cat who was eager to protect its owner made a mistake.
But this cannot be entirely blamed on Marshall, because traveling through the dreamland is just a simple bounce for him, just like a cat in the real world climbing over the railing on the roadside.
……
Hey~
What else can I say.
Who would have the heart to blame a cute cat, right?
......
"There is one more thing."
The Scarlet Witch suddenly mentioned:
"The thing about the nobles of Cainhurst Castle Have you heard about it? ”
"What do those old freaks want to do again?" Milo shook his head.
Cainhurst Castle is located in the west of the country. It is the most complete ancient castle preserved in historical records and the only one with bloodline successors.
The nobles living in that castle have the most noble status of Duke. Of course, this is not a group of creatures interested in ZZ.
They prefer the night and blood.
The reason why Milo calls them "old-fashioned freaks" is because these guys are not human beings, but vampires that have been written badly in traditional horror literature.
They have a more popular nickname, vampires.
In the era of Milo's hometown, vampires were a subject that had been eliminated by horror films and television works.
......
As we all know, Milo has been dealing with cases similar to the hunter incident in the past six months. When he first came into contact with the vampires, he was quite surprised.
Because these guys are exactly the same as the settings in another world.
They are afraid of the sun, holy water, and silverware. They cannot see their own shadow in the mirror. They have fangs, and the entire group is very good-looking.
The only difference is that the history of vampires in this world is not that long ago.
They evolved into vampires only in the recent era. Historically, their family was still a real human being.
When Milo first caught a Cainhurst man wandering around Nanwei City, he sent him directly to the Scarlet Witch and asked if this thing could be used as a sacrament.
The answer was no.
Because the vampire race has essentially nothing to do with the ancient creatures with divinity. They are a new race that is much younger than humans. They are not qualified to be used as side dishes, let alone the holy sacrament. No.
......
"What bad things did those vampires do?"
Milo raised his eyebrows.
He was very sure that after being punished by him, the descendants of the vampires had become extremely honest, and they would even buy human blood as rations from some private hospitals at very expensive prices through formal channels. This was what Milo gave him. The rules they set.
Although the Vampires do possess strength and speed beyond ordinary humans, their power is not worth mentioning in front of Milo.
After all, they only drank human blood, while Milo drank the divine blood after the Holy Communion sacrifice. The two were not comparable at all.
"It's not that the vampires did something bad, but someone tattooed a male genital pattern on the face of Duke Cainhurst's daughter. She didn't notice it until she wore it for a week." The Scarlet Witch was calm. said.
"Ah... this is a whole week?" Milo narrowed his eyes: "It's because the vampires can't see their own shadow in the mirror, right? Who could do this?"
However, it is not difficult to guess that although Nanwei City can be regarded as a tough people, there are not many people who can treat the vampire daughter like a dog.
And the immoral thing of getting a tattoo on someone's face, and the tattoo is on the genitals, can only be done by the guy who caused a lot of trouble recently.
A mysterious man who calls himself "The Ripper".
This is a freak that just appeared in the past two months.
Nanwei City is full of freaks and villains, but freaks with weird behavior like him are relatively rare.
The Ripper is not as bloody as his nickname describes him. At least so far he has not actually committed any murders. This is also the main reason why he can run around Nanwei City for more than two months. Otherwise, Milo He had already been taken care of.
The so-called "Ripper" is also the name given to him by the newspaper. To some extent, it forms a magical coincidence with another world that Milo is familiar with.
Although this Ripper did not have many murders on his hands, some of the things he did were very hateful.
He does not kill people, but he will report J girls who disrupt market rules, and even tie up J girls with X diseases and send them to medical institutions.
He doesn't rob, but he will always appear on the nobles' smuggling ships at the right time to cause some damage.
Milo initially thought of this guy as a clown trying to attract attention, and didn't take him too seriously.
However, it must be admitted that what the Ripper did is moving step by step from the initial small prank to the direction of crime.
He seems to be in a process of learning and growing.
......
If he dares to provoke even the vampires, then Milo will have to re-examine this guy.
After all, the daughter of a vampire duke could easily crush an adult human male to death, so Milo was curious about how the penis on her face was stabbed.
You know, tattooing is a very long process.
…
"If that female vampire goes crazy and hurts people because of this, it will be another story."
Milo raised his hand and rubbed the temples on both sides of his head. .
This is his life. This city can never calm down. New troubles always arise after a case is solved. The key is that they are still troubles that can only be dealt with by Milo.
"I'm just reminding you that the vampires may launch private revenge. You definitely don't want any big trouble in the city." The Scarlet Witch added lightly.
"I understand~I understand~I will keep an eye on those vampires." Milo stretched and asked instead:
"Oh, by the way, I asked you to help Is there anything you're asking about? "The King in Yellow."
"Give it up, no one will ever be able to find it unless Hasta shows up."
The Scarlet Witch shook her head.
