Ke-style law enforcement officers

Chapter 127 Paradox
Vision.

Three years later, Raven is pursuing to improve his spiritual vision, while three years ago he was racking his brains to find an opportunity to reshape the Old Gods. The conversation at the underground distillery was a major reason for his change of thinking.

Milo doesn't understand it yet.

Because in his mind, when he falls into the memories of the dead, he feels from a subjective perspective that he is experiencing those things. In reality, he is just lost in the memories. What he says and does is just Karl's behavior in the past. He has just forgotten that he is Milo and is playing someone else's role.

But this time, all his conversations with the raven were based on the premise that he knew his own identity, and were spoken primarily by Milo's mind.

This is why the raven was able to tell from just a few words that the person it was talking to was not Karl.

But this is unreasonable.

Originally, regardless of anything else, all of that only happened in Milo's mind.

But now his hallucinations seem to be affecting the real world.

This is like a traditional time paradox. It was this conversation that led the Raven to start researching vision. It was the Raven's research into vision that led to the Robben murder three years later, which allowed Milo to obtain the totem by chance, thus giving him the opportunity to peek into Carl's psychic perspective and leading to this conversation at the underground brewery.

Everything in this story has a cause-and-effect relationship, yet it's a cycle with no beginning and no end.

Just like the chicken-or-egg dilemma, there will never be an answer.

……

Milo even has a conjecture.

According to the Red Witch, the stage before his current "voyeur" stage was "nightmare," which was the period when he kept dreaming about the scene of a murder. At that time, he had not yet encountered any strange events, nor had he obtained a totem.

If all of this was caused by his spiritual vision, then it means that his spiritual vision had already begun to fluctuate back then.

What is the reason?
Could it be blood therapy?

Because Milo had also received healing through the church's blood therapy.

……

The raven said that the Blood Healing Technique ended the Great Plague Era, but the real calamity it brought was many times more terrifying than the plague itself.

Could this so-called calamity be clairvoyance...?

Milo was completely baffled.

He felt that these mysterious systems of knowledge might only be understood by the Red Witch.

……

After Karl's undead perspective completely dimmed.

Milo confirmed that all of Karl's memories that he hadn't been able to see clearly before had been fully revealed after the mission in Icam town.

The underground distillery was the last thing Carl saw before he died.

But in fact, he had lost his ability to think independently during this period, and the person who spoke on his behalf was Milo.

After the view faded into darkness, Milo could still hear the raven's maniacal laughter from the dimly lit basement.

The raven's call only gradually faded away as the real view began to brighten.

Milo suddenly raised his head.

Everything has returned to normal.

In the compartment, Milo looked up and saw Rebecca's face full of confusion.

As for Kai, who was to her right, he had already curled up in the corner and fallen asleep.

Rebecca stared at Milo suspiciously for a long time.

It took him a long time to finally manage to utter a sentence:
"Have you always had this problem?"

"What's wrong?" Milo calmly rubbed his eyes.

He casually flicked the fly away from the back of his hand, then picked up the revolver on the table and continued the cleaning work he hadn't finished, pretending nothing had happened. "You don't know what you just did?" Rebecca's eyes narrowed slightly.

The last time Milo saw that look in someone's eyes was when Rebecca dragged him back to the law enforcement office for interrogation.

"Talking in your sleep?" Milo shrugged and said calmly, "Everyone has their little quirks, you know. You scream and yell in your sleep too, we're alike."

"what are you saying?"

This time, Rebecca couldn't understand what Milo was saying at all.

After all, she really didn't know what she would do in her sleep.

However, Milo wasn't in a hurry to expose her.

"Get a good rest tonight, and ask Kai again tomorrow. You'll then know what I meant."

Milo grinned mischievously and nodded at Rebecca.

The latter glanced suspiciously at Kai beside him, looking completely bewildered.

Milo added:
"This is a secret between us. I won't tell anyone, and you shouldn't tell anyone about mine either."

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Rebecca shook her head.

She changed the subject, saying:

"After we get back, we need to submit a report as detailed as possible, explaining what happened in the town of Icam. According to Nero, Icam was assigned to him as a separate case a long time ago, and he was in charge of it alone. The specific reasons are not clear."

"Mmm." Milo had already guessed the specific reason, but all of this could only be confirmed after meeting Nero, and he couldn't mention too much now.

“Don’t you feel that there are many things that can’t be clearly expressed in words, like curses?” Milo asked Rebecca.

“And that strange creature, those crazy weirdos…” Rebecca paused, her throat bobbing slightly, before continuing, “I have no idea what they are. I’ve never seen anything like them before.”

Milo noticed Rebecca's hesitation and unease.

This is normal. Any ordinary person would doubt their own understanding and feel confused and fearful after seeing so many things that overturn their previous worldview in just a few days.

Because the sense of security built up over decades, based on existing knowledge, has been completely shattered.

From then on, she might begin to doubt all the strange phenomena she sees, or even have darker associations.

If you know what's hidden in the darkness, you've cut off the source of your fear; but if you don't...

"Just tell the truth."

Milo shrugged.

He clearly remembered seeing Rebecca's terrified expression for the first time in the underground cave.

But he couldn't seem to explain anything either, and if nothing unexpected happened, Rebecca would encounter things beyond her comprehension as she worked with her partner to solve cases. Her later career would be very "rich and exciting," and this was just the beginning.

Of course, this is all predicated on her being able to live.

For some reason, Milo couldn't help but smile smugly whenever he thought of this.

"What are you laughing at?" Rebecca frowned.

“I’m thinking of something happy,” Milo said, shrugging.

“You’re lying, your heart is beating fast.” Rebecca stared coldly at Milo.

You must have misheard.

As Milo spoke, he used his heel to push the briefcase tucked under the seat further in.

Because he knew very well that the rapid heartbeat Rebecca heard did not come from him.
