Ke-style law enforcement officers

Chapter 174 Exile

Realizing the problem, Milo gripped the notebook tightly, determined that from now on, no matter what Enid said, she would not let her take the notebook back for even a second.

"Are you telling the truth?" Enid rubbed her eyes.

"Hey sis, there are funerals going on all around here, are you trying to say that the coffins are full of shadows?"

Milo patted Enid's head like he was coaxing a child.

"Go back to sleep now. Come to my house after you wake up, and I'll treat you to Lao Kang's stewed mutton. You mean reciprocity, right?"

……

They finally managed to get the drowsy little wildcat onto their family's carriage.

Before leaving, Milo subtly probed to make sure Enid hadn't left any backup files before finally letting her go, satisfied.

What needs to be done now is to help her forget about this as soon as possible.

As long as she stops dwelling on her own interpretations, there won't be any problems.

Milo sat back down on the bench with his laptop in his arms, rubbing his temples.

"It seems that high-intensity investigations do indeed cause problems; there was a lack of consideration."

He muttered.

I was also on edge.

Those without high spiritual insight who attempt to comprehend or understand these products that do not belong to modern civilization will inevitably fall into an abyss of eternal damnation.

Milo needs to think carefully about what he can do to distract Enid during this period.

The first thing to do is to go back and add a "dissociative identity disorder" to Ethan Field's file.

……

Now Milo has a feeling that being a law enforcement officer is not simply about uncovering the truth and finding the real culprit.

Although this job involves wielding cutting-edge technology and being backed by authoritative figures, it often requires compromise and "compromise" when handling matters.

Sometimes, completely revealing the truth isn't the best option; doing so would only cause more people to suffer...

……

Milo shook his head slightly.

He opened Enid's notebook and read word for word the contents she had deciphered and translated.

According to Ethan Field's records, he did indeed perform a spellcasting ritual passed down from an ancient civilization.

He successfully banished all eight people, including Maggie Green and the criminal investigation team, to a compressed world.

"Their souls were purified, their bodies were dissolved, and they reached a transcendent state that was infinitely close to death, yet different from death."

These are Ethan Field's original words.

Apart from what he copied from the fragments of the Finicchi manuscript, this document contains more of his own insights and understanding.

Of course, the patterns that were broken down into various geometric problems came entirely from the original illustrations in the Fenich manuscript. Whether they were created by the compiler Fenich or derived from the illustrations in the original Necronomicon remains unknown.

"Using bronze as a medium?"

When Milo saw the similar words, he immediately thought of the bronze ring and the bronze artifacts in the evidence inventory of the South City Law Enforcement Office.

"That makes perfect sense."

Milo pulled out the ring that corresponded to Maggie Green's from his pocket.

He then took out the ring he had previously found in the corner of the evidence storage room.

"According to Ethan Field, shadows represent exiled humanity, and bronze is the medium... 'a transcendence that is infinitely close to death yet distinct from it'..."

Milo stared at the sentence on his notebook, lost in thought. ...

Just like the eulogy read by De La Chaux on the distant cemetery—"The death of the body is exchanged for infinite bliss on the other side."

Whether the exiled people were in paradise or not, Milo didn't know, but he did know that the physical body had indeed perished.

The only trace of Maggie Green left in this world is a fleeting shadow, and only a very few people can see it.

...

"Whether it's a magical ritual or an incantation, they both exist in reality."

Milo gently stroked the words on the notebook.

If the law enforcement system's declaration of death for missing persons is a last resort, then the texts deciphered by Enid definitively confirm the fact that they can never return.

“Those who are exiled will have no day of reincarnation.”

This is also one of the original texts on the fragments of the Finicchi manuscript.

The main content of Ethan Field's entire work revolves around that final totem.

At first glance, this totem looks very similar to the first totem that Milo obtained. That totem was carved on the wall by Robben's daughter's corpse, and its shape resembled an upside-down golden tree, with all the vines transformed into claw-like tentacles.

The one on the notebook is very similar, except that it has many straight geometric lines around it.

In fact, Milo didn't need to read through all those complicated explanations. He only needed to glance at the totem to understand the meaning of the entire banishment magic.

Because his spiritual vision was advanced enough to allow him to understand the totem of the ancient god civilization before him, without losing his reason.

It's like an ancient script, where every stroke contains corresponding rules and theories. Those rules may not apply to today's world, and the collision and compression of rules from different eras can cause the organism itself, as the carrier, to collapse, unless its spiritual vision is high enough.

“Mine, my second totem.”

Milo didn't feel any sense of self-improvement.

He did not have a clear sensory concept of what is called clairvoyance.

But he did indeed comprehend the totem and understand the working principle of the banishment technique.

……

Milo looked up at the burial site in the distance.

The funeral is not yet fully over; we are currently in the mourning phase.

It will take some time to place and bury the seven coffins one by one.

It was around 10:30 a.m., and perhaps to offer some solace to the bereaved families, the wind dispersed some of the dark clouds high in the sky, allowing the long-awaited sunlight to pierce through the clouds and bring warmth to the shoulders and faces of the mourners at the cemetery...

Milo reached out and caught the sunlight streaming down from above.

He remained seated, maintaining that position, and pondered for a long time.

In the end, he put the copper ring he found in the law enforcement office's evidence storage on the index finger of his right hand.

The moment Milo put the ring on.

The sunlight shone on him.

The shadows cast by the heels of his boots extended backward from where they touched the ground, totaling eight.

Apart from Milo's own shadow, the other seven shadows, spreading out in different directions, were all silently watching the direction of the burial site in the cemetery.

Milo realized that the ground behind him had suddenly become lively.

But he didn't turn around; he just yawned, stretched, and spread his hands, saying:
"Say goodbye to yourselves in the three-dimensional world, exiles."
