Chapter 349: They are all trying to live
“What’s going on with this dick cat? His expression is so angry?”
Rick was holding several pieces of the beast’s corpse in his hand. Marshall on the ground.
Milo pressed his hand: "I suggest you be more polite to this cat in the future."
"What can you say?" Rick asked curiously.
"It can eat two living corpses like you in one meal." Milo paused and added: "I am not an ordinary cat in this world."
"Strictly speaking, I can only be considered a semi- A living corpse," Rick corrected.
"Then it can eat four of you." Milo made a simple conversion.
"Wait a minute, you just said, there are other worlds?" Rick's focus was not on the issue of eating a few living corpses in one meal. He grasped Milo's words very keenly. Another key point mentioned in .
He put the messy corpses he was holding back on the ground, walked towards Marshall with a curious look on his face, stretched his gloves stained with various sticky bloodstains to Marshall's head, and mouthed He also made some strange sounds: "Meow meow meow~~"
Milo on the side shook his head. He didn't even need to look, he knew what Rick would end up with. This guy's behavior was clearly seeking death.
As expected, the cat’s claws flashed past.
Rick squatted on the ground with his hands in his hands and screamed in pain: "Oh, it hurts, it hurts!"
......
"Stop it, do it!" After collecting the things we collected, we will go back to the law enforcement office to plan the next step. We must find out where this guy came from.”
Milo pulled two handfuls of hay from the ground and rubbed it on his palms.
Then he did not forget to say:
“Remember to bring the kitten with you, otherwise Rebecca will go crazy.”
Rick looked sad.
Marshall, who was sitting in the grass, continued to lick his little black paws leisurely.
...
When I came to Glen Town, there was one person, one living corpse and one dog. When I returned, there was an extra cat.
Marshall can be said to be a maverick cat. He didn't even bother to sit in the carriage carriage with the sheepdog. Instead, he sat on the back of the horse pulling the carriage. How majestic.
After all, they are from the Dreamland. According to the Scarlet Witch, their race can be said to be all-powerful there, and they even control the army.
……
After returning to Nanwei City, Milo did not direct the subordinates of the law enforcement station to deal with the broken corpses in the jungle of Glenn Town.
However, the collection of other information still needs to continue.
Milo sent his subordinates to sort out all the information about the deceased old man. At the same time, he systematically counted the permanent residents in Glenn Town, including the surrounding areas, to see if there was any information about missing persons.
In the information obtained from the previous investigation, this old guy is considered an empty nester. Many of his relatives and juniors are basically distant relatives that are beyond reach. Not only are they rarely in contact with each other on weekdays, but their actual blood sources are The relationship was also so estranged that it had been a month since the old man's death and the law enforcement team still couldn't contact any of his relatives.
"Compile your findings in Glen Town and give me a detailed report."
Milo gave Rick a task, then ran upstairs and invited Marshall back to Rebecca.
The whole morning was wasted like this.
……
“It’s not easy to see you lately.”
Rebecca rubbed Marshall’s head lying in her arms and narrowed her eyes. Milo glanced.
Milo walked around Rebecca's office, plundered some uneaten snacks, and put them all into his mouth. While chewing, he said vaguely: "Did you miss me?"
< br>"Huh..."
The corners of Rebecca's mouth curved. This time it was not a sneer, but a smile in the true sense.
Actually, Milo was also wondering. Ever since Rebecca suffered a big disaster during the Glachi incident, the temperament of this tiger girl has changed a lot. Maybe she didn’t even realize that she A few subtle changes to your daily routine.
But Milo, who has always been paying attention to the sanity of people around him, is very sensitive to this.
With Nero gone, Rebecca took on the responsibility of taking care of Kai.
Oh, by the way, as for Kai, the little girl is barely okay now, at least there is no physical problem, because the source of the problem has been dragged into angle time and space by the hounds and dogs.
After the hunting night, Rebecca felt depressed for a long time.
The two most important people to her in Nanwei City, Nero and Carl, both passed away in unexplained ways. Together with the series of messy managers, Rebecca Milo would not be surprised if his will was crushed.
But the actual situation is that after living with Kai for a period of time, she gradually recovered. Milo could only attribute this miraculous healing effect to the little angel's sister Kai.
As the last remaining bloodline in the cursed clan, it was countless times more difficult for her to survive than others. But after experiencing so many adversities, she not only survived, but also comforted Li in turn. Beca's scars.
Human beings are really not as weak as Raven said, at least not the people Milo met.
......
"I know you have dealings with the current county chief, and the newly appointed law enforcement inspector is also his, but after all, I am your immediate boss. See you all day long. What’s the point of not being a human being?”
Rebecca habitually crossed her two long legs on the corner of the desk, leaning against the back of the chair, stroking Marshall's head with one hand, and supporting her chin with the other.
There was a strong tone of voice that suggested that the army should be called upon to investigate.
Milo crunched the biscuits and asked absently: "What are your orders, old man?"
Just when he thought Rebecca would criticize him like before When he suddenly set down a series of rules for law enforcement actions, Rebecca said something that surprised him:
"Can you come over and see Kai sometime?"
Moreover, this sentence was not said in a commanding tone. The last word provoked an upward tone, and there was a hint of soliciting opinions in it.
Milo blinked: "Hey, this is easy to say~"
Speaking of which, after the hunting night, Milo met Kai very few times, although he was always busy with work He used the name as a reason to convince himself, but to put it bluntly, it was because he was busy with work or he had not thought about how to face Kai. He was the only one who had the secret in mind.
But in fact, Kay didn’t know anything. She didn’t know that Nero only regained consciousness after the dream and chose to kill himself. So the problem still lies with Milo himself, something bad If the explanation couldn't explain something clearly, Milo would subconsciously ignore it.
It's like he kept talking about going to the church to see Daisy, but he hasn't stepped into the Star Clock Tower for half a year.
...
"It's the weekend, then it's the weekend." Milo was familiar with Rebecca's character, and he knew that he couldn't leave the office without giving a clear answer.
"You know the truth." Rebecca nodded, and then suddenly changed the subject:
"Still looking for Xion's whereabouts?"
After the hunting night, Old Theon completely disappeared from the world.
The key point is that this person was not married, had no heirs, and his parents were both dead. He seemed to have left no trace in Nanwei City after disappearing.
Milo was indeed searching. Not only did he look for clues about the King in Yellow through the Scarlet Witch, he even went through all the series of missing persons incidents that Old Theon had investigated before.
It sounds a bit dramatic.
In the past, it was Old Theon who frantically disobeyed orders to search for the whereabouts of the Seven. Now it is the Seven who, in turn, are searching for clues about Old Theon like headless flies.
“Looking~ I’ve been looking for it all along.” Milo did not deny it.
Old Xion was naturally on the hunting list provided by Munguia.
But on the night of the hunting, Milo only found the bodies of several hunters with crushed skulls in the urban alleys. He entrusted Dillashaw to be the undertaker to bury those hunters one by one, and then A peek into their memories before they died.
In their undead perspective, Milo saw the shadow of the ragged king...
But unlike Sotos, Huang Yi did not appear in Nanwei after his arrival. If he caused any unrest in the city, the corpses of the hunters were the last traces he left behind.
“Do you know what the guys downstairs said about you?” Rebecca looked at Milo calmly as he gnawed on snacks.
"What did you say?" Milo raised his eyebrows.
"They say you are becoming more and more like Theon." Rebecca said.
"Oh, slander, pure slander, I haven't stepped into the pleasure room for two months." Milo clarified, shaking his head.
"It's been two months, so you must be holding it back, right?" Rebecca gave Milo a meaningful look.
Milo grinned: "That's not the case, thank you for your concern."
He rubbed the crumbs of biscuits on his hands, wrapped the uneaten pieces in oil paper again, and put them blatantly into the inner pocket of his windbreaker.
"Then I'm going to work first."
He pushed open the office door, and as soon as he stepped out, he turned around and put his head back and said to Rebecca:
"Oh, by the way, the new hair style is pretty good, and the curvature of the sideburns matches your eyebrows very well."
Probably because of the few fights with the mutated living corpses, Rebecca had a thorough understanding of them. Having long wavy hair is so fatal, so now I always maintain the image of dry and neat short hair. I get trimmed every once in a while, and my haircut frequency is much more diligent than that of Milo.
In the past, Milo would start to feel uncomfortable even if she stared at Rebecca's face for a little while. After all, subconsciously, she would still care about the scar on her face.
But now she no longer wears a mask all the time like before, and she happily accepts Milo's generous praise:
"Thank you for your concern, please eat less snacks. That thing is not nutritious. Remember to go to the hearing to get the little girl back after lunch."
Milo slapped his forehead:
"Yes, I almost forgot."
