Chapter 595 Boy
An extra thing appears out of nowhere, which is actually not surprising in the abyss.
It is worth noting that this bounty list looks cleaner than everything around it. Yes, it is too clean, as if it does not belong to this city and is a foreign object.
Moreover, the densely packed reward orders posted one after another on the wooden list turned out to be all about the same wanted criminal.
Etta Doyle.
A woman with hideous scars on her face.
......
Milo tore off one of the reward orders and looked at it carefully with the cold and weak light from behind.
However, there is very little valuable information in the reward order. Apart from blurry photos and meaningless slogans, it only briefly describes her physical characteristics. The most puzzling thing is that the reward is not even included. The amount was obscured by random graffiti.
…
In the past few years he spent in Nanwei City, Milo had never heard of the existence of such a wanted criminal.
Of course, in the final analysis, it was just a pile of useless paper. Milo didn't take it seriously at first.
It wasn't until he stepped straight into the lobby of the law enforcement headquarters that the scene in the dark hall made him raise his eyebrows slightly.
With just one glance, he recognized the face as "Etta Doyle" on the wanted poster.
The middle of a huge law enforcement hall is criss-crossed, with countless slender and sharp emerald green crystals supporting each other, densely packed, like a complex flower made of countless gems.
And hanging between the gaps between these sharp petals is Etta Doyle.
And there is more than one.
There are at least hundreds of corpses pierced by crystals and hanging on it. Their postures are twisted and weird, and some have even been folded and compressed into lumps, but without exception, they are all carrying a Zhang's face was exactly the same as the one in the photo on the wanted poster, and they all stared at Milo with wide eyes as he pushed in the door.
......
The only ones who can be stared at by hundreds of corpses without changing their expressions are probably the superiors who have continued the rule of indifference.
What makes people particularly uncomfortable is that although "these" Ettas are all dead, and judging from the different degrees of decay on their bodies, the death time is inconsistent, but almost without exception, all Ettas look at Milo. There is vivid resentment in his eyes, which is the effect that only extreme hatred can be expressed through his eyes.
"It's a pity that I don't have a hatred transformation mechanism like Yan."
Milo tilted his neck and turned his gaze to the dark area behind where countless emerald green crystal columns were intertwined.
Refer to the countless wanted notices that were superimposed and posted, as well as the reward amounts that were crossed out on the wanted notices, and the ETAs who died at different points in time.
The order of time is indeed in chaos.
The green crystal matter all over the room seemed to remind Milo of something, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
But he was sure that the strange force was hiding deep in the law enforcement headquarters at this moment.
As for why not choose Imnar?
Because that guy's aura is everywhere, all over Nanwei City, but there is no way to start.
On the contrary, this guy huddled in the law enforcement headquarters attracted Milo's attention.
…
Those emerald green crystals always make Milo flash back some short scenes in his mind. Compared with the more than a hundred pairs of Etta’s eyes that stare straight into his eyes, the crystals are more likely to make Milo Feel confused.
However, before Milo had time to step into the depths of the law enforcement headquarters, the harsh neighing of horses came from the street outside.
And a female voice continued to curse something.
…
Milo stood quietly, waiting for the visitor to enter.
When he stepped into the hall with hurried steps, Milo couldn't help but reveal an intriguing smile on his face.
What appeared in front of him was a living corpse.
The living corpse is not Etta, the person it carries on its shoulders with its hands tied behind its back is Etta.
The visual effect is somewhat similar - the bounty hunter catches the wanted criminal and returns him to the law enforcement agency for money. That's pretty much what it means.
And after seeing the countless selves hanging and folded above the hall, the curses coming from the living Etta's mouth carried on the shoulders of the living corpse finally stopped.
Of course, dead Etta, alive Etta, these are not too important.
The key is, the guy who kidnapped Etta.
His physique, clothing, weapons and accessories are all very familiar to Milo. Basically, he could see this man in black in the mirror every morning when he was in Nanwei City.
…
Except for the ferocious zombie head with ulcerated skin, this guy has almost no difference from Milo's usual appearance as a law enforcement officer.
It also has a black trench coat, bowie knife and revolver gun, and even the crowbar carried on the waist are perfectly reproduced.
But as a product of the evolution of chaotic order, it is naturally impossible for it to reach the life level of Shadow. It cannot even see Milo until Milo himself steps out of the shadows.
And what it did next has probably been repeated countless times. It dropped the Etta on its shoulders to the ground, dragged it deep into the hall, and randomly selected one. Crystal, picked up Etta with one hand, and hung her up regardless of the other party's screams and roars.
……
Milo didn't react at all.
He has noticed some twisted rules of reincarnation in this world. Countless Etta corpses and wanted posters have already explained the problem. A strange woman evolved from the chaos of the abyss is not enough to cause His empathy.
In most cases, strong spiritual vision can provide humans with improvements in various sensory abilities. But when it reaches the old level, it is no longer limited to capturing the moment when a gun is fired. At the death node, some subtle "omens" often appear in a short period of time and can be easily captured, thereby judging what is about to happen in the next second or minute.
At this moment, Milo probably caught the hint of weirdness.
Realizing what was about to happen, Milo suddenly had a heartfelt smile on his face.
…
The next second.
Boom! ! ! !
Just when Etta was about to be pierced through the torso by the emerald green crystal, a violent vibration suddenly came from the upper floor of the hall of the law enforcement headquarters.
The air wave overturned the crystals, walls and floor tiles in the hall, and crushed down large areas of broken floor slabs.
In addition to the rolling dust, there is also a "refreshing" smell of gunpowder smoke in the air.
This degree of destruction, this scale of explosion, in Milo's memory, with the current world's technological level, only she can create it.
However, the slender figure after the smoke cleared in his imagination did not appear, which made Milo feel a little disappointed.
......
After the explosion, the figures who walked through the smoke were all women. They were fully armed with guns and ammunition, and they broke into the hall and saw the countless crystals. When countless broken Ettas were hung on the crystal pillars, everyone was stunned for a few seconds.
Until the only one alive, Etta, called for help.
And the living corpse covered by the collapsed floor stood up on the floor.
"Escape quickly! Bring Etta, we don't have much time!"
In the dark and broken building, the living corpse Milo standing up in the ruins has extremely terrifying oppression Even though it seemed to move very slowly when it raised its hand to take the gun from its waist, one-third of the team that broke into the hall to rescue people was still shredded by bullets in an instant.
The screams sounded immediately.
But it all came to an abrupt end soon.
The blood stains from the broken limbs almost splashed onto Milo's face, but he remained unmoved and stood in the shadows quietly watching all this.
ETA's rescue team carried thermal weapons, but those poor lead bullets had no effect on the living corpses.
It is not difficult to see that this is not a simple rescue operation, because when others pulled Etta to retreat, the woman almost collapsed and shouted towards the depths of the law enforcement headquarters: "Child ...The child is still inside...No..."
…
Milo blinked and turned to look at the dark, seemingly endless corridor deep in the law enforcement headquarters.
Children?
Where are the children? Why didn't I see it?
As the first person to arrive here, Milo was very sure that except for the lively lobby on the first floor, there were no living things in the rest of the building.
The drama before him was a little too mindless, even though he knew that this was the norm in the abyss.
......
In the end, the wanted criminal named Etta was dragged out of the law enforcement headquarters by her team members.
After they left, almost half of the living corpses in the city surged up and chased after them.
The streets of Nanwei City can be said to be filled with waves composed of countless corpses.
And that living zombie Milo, probably the leader of this zombie team, guided the living zombies in the city to frantically contain the fleeing Etta.
That scene can easily give people goosebumps.
But as a calm bystander, Milo had already smelled a strong smell in this drama called "Tiaohu Lishan".
So he didn't catch up to watch the fun. To be honest, the life and death of those people didn't have much to do with him.
So Milo found a stool that was relatively stable and sat down in the lobby of the law enforcement headquarters, waiting for the next visitor.
...
Time passes minute by minute.
The city streets outside seemed to have become very quiet.
Nearly half of the living corpses in the city were lured away by Eta and the others.
In the ruined law enforcement hall, the ticking sound of the big clock hanging in the atrium became particularly harsh.
Even Milo couldn't help falling into a trance for a while.
It was as if the series of farce just now had never happened at all.
The peace and silence in the hall at this moment is real.
Even the calmness of this moment is mixed with a little confusion and sadness, which is revealed from the deepest corridor of the law enforcement headquarters...
…
In a daze, Milo saw a familiar figure in his field of vision.
She climbed over the window and walked straight into the depths of the law enforcement headquarters.
When she passed in front of Milo, Milo could even clearly smell the fresh smell of blood, as well as more familiar aromas.
Milo held his chin and sighed, then stood up and walked out of the shadows in the corner.
Almost at the same moment, a boy with a strange green light appeared at the end of the corridor of the law enforcement headquarters.
So there really is a boy?
Milo frowned.
At a certain moment, he did see the boy in the corner. The confusion and sadness in the previous moment seemed to come from the boy.
Everything seems to make sense. The wanted criminal named Etta lured away all the living corpses around the law enforcement headquarters by throwing himself into a trap. The real purpose was to win this moment. space to rescue "the boy".
Kemalo believed in his eyes more.
There is no such thing as a boy there.
......
However, the rescuer who did not know the truth also "saw" the child in the corner. She quickened her pace and shouted happily to the corner: "Mei Gao! Come with me quickly..."
Mei Gao...
Mei Gao?
…
The one who came to save people was naturally Emma, it was Emma herself.
But Meigao?
Haha.
…
The poor boy in the corner was about ten years old. He had helpless tears on his face and stretched out his hands as if asking for help.
But just when Emma ran quickly towards the boy and was still five or six meters away.
The face of the boy called "Mei Gao" suddenly split in half!
Accompanied by the weird noise that was not produced by human vocal cords, the cracked head was densely covered with countless emerald green crystal barbs, which almost instantly grew, amplified and occupied the entire path. At the end of the corridor, this place turned into a huge mouth.
…
The horrifying scene has not yet fully unfolded.
A guy carrying a crowbar bumped into him at a faster speed.
He grasped the edge of the split head with his bare hands, and forcefully stuffed the open head back in like a curtain or a rag, and finally nailed the crowbar directly to the opponent's skull. It was a loose repair operation on the boy's split skull.
The whole process is extremely abstract and very fast.
After doing this, Milo turned around and looked at the only person he wanted to see on this trip.
…
Emma has not yet recovered from the shock just now.
She maintained the action of holding the gun with both hands at this moment.
And white smoke was still coming out of the gun.
It means she has already fired a shot.
…
Emma looked paler and more haggard than ever.
She had her long hair tied up, and the bruises and scrapes on her face were clearly visible.
Her arms, neck, and legs were covered with bloody bandages, and the rain and mud soaked her coat, making her look miserable.
This is the worst Emma Milo has ever seen, but it is also the most powerful Emma he has ever seen. This is probably judged by his eyes (in fact, Milo himself is not sure ).
...
Emma has always maintained the posture of holding the gun.
At this moment, she was extremely calm.
The muzzle of the gun was locked on Milo's head, and the previous shot also hit Milo in the back.
Of course, her calmness and coldness did not last long.
As Milo slowly turned his hands, two beating blue symbols appeared on his palm.
The girl's heartbreaking cry of grievance finally sounded in the corridor.
