Ke-style law enforcement officers

Chapter 234 The Poop is Gone
The rain had stopped and the sky had cleared.

The vast majority of those who were unconscious on the street have regained consciousness and have been taken to the hospital for examination and treatment by law enforcement officers and medical teams.

Milo called over two colleagues and asked them to escort his family home.

He stayed behind to help clean up the mess.

Geraqui escaped, leaving behind a broken bridge and a list of missing persons that was about to be compiled.

Milo could imagine Rebecca frantically writing the report over the next few days.

Fortunately, at the time of the incident, almost all the people in the vicinity were affected by the dream, because they did not know what was happening on the canal. Many people woke up in a daze and found themselves lying in the puddles by the roadside, soaking wet, feeling nothing but cold.

So it's not entirely impossible to come up with a convincing story from a different angle, but that's not something Milo needs to worry about.

What he's unsure of now is whether or not Geragi has left Nanwei City.

The key question is whether the mastermind who summoned it here has been caught.

……

Law enforcement officers have brought the entire crime scene under control.

The good news is that the crowd did not panic, because virtually no bodies were found at the scene.

Milo walked back to the riverside street of the Confession Pier and saw only some viscous green liquid by the roadside.

"Green corruption".

Investigator C seemed to notice Milo's confusion. He followed Milo, wiping his glasses and pointing to the sun overhead, explaining:
"Geraci's servants fear strong light, which strips them of the active factors it has given them, forcibly returning the dead to dust. We call this the iron law of nature."

Milo glanced at the silver metal badge on Investigator C's chest:

"Miskatonic".

“University,” Investigator C nodded and added.

“I’ve heard this name several times,” Milo muttered.

The first president of the Gus Society went to this university and became extremely obsessed with the occult after returning.

"Really? You're quite knowledgeable then. Very few people know about our university." Investigator C didn't seem to mind others mentioning his background.

"What brings you here?" Milo looked at the unfamiliar yet somewhat familiar man in front of him.

“For the sake of Geraki.” Investigator C made no attempt to hide anything and stated frankly, “After news of the hanging corpse case reached the university, I was immediately dispatched with the mission of preventing… preventing something like this from happening.”

When talking about the mess at the Confession Pier, Investigator C showed a hint of shame.

"Is this the kind of thing your university does?" Milo didn't think it had anything to do with Investigator C, even though he had indeed destroyed a bridge.

“Not entirely. We’re only responsible for research. Dealing with emergencies like today’s isn’t our specialty. We just know a little more than the average person. Most of the time, we have to rely on people like you,” Investigator C said, offering a compliment that didn’t feel awkward.

"That time in Seven Valley..." Milo didn't mince words and asked directly about the past events that Charles had mentioned.

“I am that consultant,” Investigator C admitted frankly.

He was not surprised by Milo's knowledge of the facts.

He would find it strange if Milo knew nothing about all this.

“We have always kept the details of the past in mind. It is very likely that some of the families from that village fled to Nanwei City back then, so the school has been paying attention to Nanwei City all these years.” “I see.” Milo nodded.

Investigator C continued, "In the Seven Valley incident, the law enforcement system's approach might have been somewhat extreme, but it was the most efficient solution at the time..."

“I don’t care about that.” Milo waved his hand. “What did you use to break that bridge?”

"Old seal".

Investigator C's answer was straightforward:

"It's a runic vessel containing ancient power that we salvaged from some ancient ruins. It has a certain dispelling effect on the Great Old Ones. My mentor called it the Old Gods' excrement because its purpose is to make these rulers feel disgusted. Most of the time it works quite well, but today is an exception."

“Poop.” Milo raised an eyebrow. “That’s a very apt description.”

Just as Milo was about to ask more questions, Investigator C suddenly let out a strange cry:
"Oh no, three old seals have fallen into the river! Oh my god, the professor will kill me!"

His reaction time seemed a bit ridiculously long, because the old seal had fallen into the river a long time ago, and he had been leisurely chatting with Milo for a while before he remembered it.

Milo ended up thinking that the old seal was really like "poop," a disposable item that was useless once it was thrown away.

"So you have to pick up the poop afterward, huh?"

Milo muttered something under his breath.

He flicked his finger, and the seven dark figures beside him plunged headfirst into the canal…

……

"Please! Mr. Valrocan, please help me find those three old seals! I will reward you handsomely! Handsomely!" Investigator C grabbed Milo's hand and refused to let go.

Perfect timing! Milo wasn't planning on letting this guy jump into the water to look for it anyway, so he casually hooked his arm around the other's shoulder and said, "Hey bro, don't worry, the South District is my territory. As long as those pieces of poop are still in the canal, I'll definitely find them for you. Don't worry~~"

But what I was really thinking was—it's quite reasonable for it to be washed away by the river after such heavy rain.

……

The incident at Confession Pier came to an abrupt end there.

Law enforcement officers from various departments assembled to carry out a search and rescue operation, but only Milo, C, Yan, and Emma knew the truth.

The truth is, those who survive will be fine, and those who unfortunately die will never have their bodies found.

As expected, this will be another shocking unsolved case; it all depends on how the higher-ups in the law enforcement agency fabricate their story.

What Milo needs to worry about is the mastermind behind it all and other undead that may be hiding in the city.

After all, Milo couldn't guarantee that all 20 crew members who initially went missing had turned into green decay.

"And that damned church, we see those damned gray-robed men every day when things are peaceful, but now that something so big has happened, we can't even see a ghost of them. Have they all gone into hiding?"

Milo was secretly cursing as he watched the busy law enforcement officers on the scene, but when he turned around, he found that the clerk, Dillah Shaw, was standing right behind him.

"I think we probably have a lot of things to talk about in detail."

Dillah Shaw's face was as always, with the same unchanging polite smile.
