Chapter 382 Let It Get What It Wants
When he returned to the city, Milo's entire lower body felt as if he had just been pulled out of the quagmire.
The cat Marshall was not much better, because he was carried under his arm and dropped several times along the way, and the little black cat turned into a little clay cat.
However, even in such a mess, Milo still did not return directly to the law enforcement office.
Because when entering Nanwei City, Marshall woke up.
In fact, its injuries didn't seem serious.
In Milo's understanding, Imnar's ability to imitate is not just about transforming into the same appearance as the person being imitated. It seems that from the moment it displays this ability, the rules of deception and the will to replace It's already in operation.
If the world is regarded as a machine, each soul has its own special location, and the imitator Imnar directly or indirectly replaces the location of the imitated soul. position, and the soul that is elevated will fall into some kind of unexplainable chaotic sleep.
Marshall was in such a state just now, and the coma caused by the injury was just a triggering condition.
Of course this is just Milo's preliminary judgment on Imnar's ability.
This is different from the kind of substitution on the spiritual and will level that David Derby encountered. Imnar replaced it from its origin and became its chosen target. After this deep-seated substitution occurs countless times, it will even Causing it to lose itself.
“This is the first time I have seen an old ruler like this with the ability to have side effects.”
Milo sat on the steps in front of a house on the roadside and poked him with a branch. He poked Marshall who was lying dying on the steps.
Marshall slowly used his paws to pull away the branch from Milo's hand. After noticing the wet mud all over his body, he raised his head and glanced at Milo resentfully:
" What did you do to me?”
"Saved your life." Milo threw away the branch in his hand.
Marshall stood up slowly, put his front paws on the ground, raised his buttocks, stretched his waist in a unique feline posture, yawned hard, and then said:
"It turned into you and attacked me, otherwise I wouldn't be so easily injured."
"Oh, who wouldn't be."
Milo tugged. The torn shirt on his chest.
Who would have thought that one day they would have to take care of their cat’s pride.
......
Marshall began to groom his hair seriously and licked his paws clean bit by bit. He seemed a little depressed.
It said:
“This is a very special old ruler. In the dreamland, its power is also unparalleled. It is the most powerful warrior in our tribe. Nor is it its opponent.”
"Let me tell you another bad news. It is now more powerful than when you encountered it before." Milo added with a shrug.
"Uh, why?" Marshall stopped licking his paws.
"Because it became like you." Milo started to talk nonsense.
"Ah~ That makes sense. I am the second-ranked warrior in our tribe." Marshall nodded and continued to lick his paws.
……
"I'm going to see someone in a while. If you have no problem, just go back to the law enforcement office to find Rebecca."
Milo ordered Marshall.
"Why, doesn't the person you want to meet like cats?" Marshall asked.
"No, she likes it very much, especially a cat with such a talent like you. She likes it so much and likes to eat." Milo shook his head.
"Okay, I won't go." Marshall is not a clingy cat to begin with. His attitude toward most humans is repulsive. This point refers to Enid's hand. Just the scratches will tell.
…
After the rain, the sky clears up.
Finally a faint ray of sunshine squeezed out of the clouds and fell onto the street.
Milo put his windbreaker away and when he was about to get up and leave, he found Marshall at his feet winking at him.
He turned his head in the direction of Marshall's gaze and found a child squatting inside the railing of the closed door of a residential building on the steps where they were.
The child looked at Milo and Marshall with a blank expression, his eyes dull.
Milo turned to Marshall angrily and asked, "Has he been squatting there all this time?"
"It seems so. Anyway, he was there when I woke up." Marshall licked his hair.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier...forget it."
Milo rubbed his temples. There's not much he can do about it. The kid doesn't look very smart anyway, so he probably won't find anything wrong with the kitten talking.
Just like a point expressed by C, the ones with the strongest sanity in this world are not the psychics, but those born fools and fools, because to a certain extent, in ordinary people, All the strange things that are unimaginable in the concept are no problem for fools.
The same is true for children who have not yet established a sense of time. They do not yet have the concept of reasonable and unreasonable.
This is also a conclusion that Milo has repeatedly verified over the past year. The most obvious example is that it is very difficult for dream induction skills to work on children, because you can hardly judge what is happening in the child's world. What is the most fearful thing?
Sometimes a child's inner world is more magical than the memories of the old rulers.
...
After making a face at the kid inside the door and successfully making him laugh, Milo left the neighborhood.
I found my guide, the Scarlet Witch, in the abandoned monastery in the north of the city.
As soon as Milo saw the familiar tattered red robe, he began to sigh:
"I'm here to confess, my brother did a very stupid thing today."
< br>
After all, the contrast between before and after is very obvious. When he was in the Prayer Square, Milo was still able to hurt Imnar.
But on the way back, when Imnar successfully learned his true name, Milo's bullets could no longer touch it.
However, the Red Witch was talking about another thing. She raised her neck and looked at the ceiling of the shabby monastery where she was:
"In the confessional room of this monastery There have been two cases of sexual assault. "
"Okay, I feel better after hearing what you said." Milo was used to the red witch's unreasonable answers. He put on his wet windbreaker. He took it off and hung it on the iron wall, found a dry place to sit down, and said a name seriously:
"Imnar."
The Scarlet Witch was silent for a long time and then asked: "The little girl from the church is helping you monitor everything in Nanwei City. What else do you want to know from me?"
Milo raised his eyebrows. He did not expect that the Scarlet Witch would say such a strange thing, so he said with great interest:
"Look at what you said, I am not here. I want your opinion.”
“My opinion?” The witch raised her head.
Milo spread his hands: "Didn't this guy named Imnar arouse your appetite at all?"
However, for the first time, the Scarlet Witch teased Milo in a weird tone: "I Didn't smell holy He smelled the aroma of food, but smelled someone's nervousness."
"Where to start?" Milo rolled up the sleeves of his shirt and pulled out a metal wine bottle from his waist. , raised his head and took two small sips.
Milo's habit of drinking has long been cured, but he has been operating in cold and humid nights for a long time this year, especially when it rained for most of the day like today. It is good to have a mouthful to warm his stomach once in a while.
The Red Witch moved her stooped body forward two steps, probed her neck, and said in a hoarse voice: "You are not sure whether you are still its opponent, you feel suppressed , and even found that you couldn’t find any trace of the other party, so you panicked.”
She pressed the broken nails on the dead branch-like fingers against Milo's chest and said in a sinister tone:
"Fear is a good thing. When you completely lose this ability one day, you I will miss this feeling."
Milo savored the meaning of the Red Witch's words carefully, and then said after a long time:
"It said... I am destined to become one of them. "Commander, let me join their sequence."
The Scarlet Witch's hooded head shook slightly from side to side and asked lightly:
"What else does it say?"
"It also says that my name can become taboo in a certain era after a long time..." Milo thought for a moment and added:
"It also mentioned chaos."
"So, you are trying to follow the mind of an Old One and understand its will?" Scarlet Witch asked.
"As a fraudster, the words it speaks are definitely not true, but it may not be completely false. After all, the best deception is to tell the truth, isn't it?" Milo spread his hands.
"Chaos is an eternal truth. The most romantic thing in this universe is that there will always be irrational creatures who break the rules and want to do something whimsical." The Scarlet Witch turned to look at Milo:
< br>"From the moment you become a visionary, you are already in chaos and become a member of the disruptive order."
Milo thought thoughtfully, and then nodded heavily:
"I probably understand what you mean."
"Imnar's true identity cannot be found in the existing books, but you don't need to worry about this. All the people it belongs to The system of laws is actually the simplest and most basic origin, and it doesn’t even require ancient classics. It’s so simple that you can find its traces in children’s books,” the Scarlet Witch said calmly.
"I just thought you were comforting me." Milo shrugged.
The Scarlet Witch just continued to ask calmly:
“What else are you talking about?”
“It also said that it desires a battle between rulers. Confrontation between "
......
The Scarlet Witch's response was surprisingly concise:
"Then let it get what it wants."
