Ke-style law enforcement officers

Chapter 289 Meeting an opponent

However, in terms of pure physical strength, Milo has the upper hand.

The man in black had clearly noticed this. Even though his weapon posed a greater threat to Milo, in a pure contest of strength, the tip of the scythe could not penetrate further into Milo's back.

The blood of the Scarlet Witch that Milo drank twice finally took effect, and the increased power from the previous undead sightings allowed him to suppress the man in black.

"Ah……"

The man in black, who was standing close by, let out a cold laugh.

Milo didn't understand the meaning behind that cold laugh.

But the next second he heard the familiar sound of the mechanical structure starting up.

Click...

Gululu…

Milo's hair stood on end instantly.

Just a split second before the metal mesh that suddenly opened up on the man in black's back and enveloped him, Milo knocked away the scythe and pulled away!

Swish!
However, this time the metal net didn't bind the man in black himself; instead, it shattered the wall behind him with its violent impact.

In an instant, rubble flew everywhere.

……

Inside the house, the civilians who had been hiding in the corner, disturbed by the gunfire, began to scream.

The figure in black burst into the room, his trench coat brushing against a kerosene lamp stand and spilling something.

The next second, the flames spread rapidly throughout the house.

He immediately rushed through the flames, smashed through the wooden door at the front of the house, and ran out.

"Damn it!"

Bang bang bang! !

From a distant rooftop, sniper Lao Luo fired several shots.

But it's estimated that they weren't able to stop the man in black.

Without thinking, Milo rushed into the fire to follow, but in the firelight he saw a woman trapped in the corner of the house by the flames and a child who looked no more than seven or eight years old in her arms.

Milo had no time to think.

The man in black must have left some flammable material inside the house, causing the fire to spread rapidly.

Milo shielded the woman and child with his body, safely escorting them out of the burning room.

But by the time he rushed to the front door of the house again, the man in black was nowhere to be seen.

……

The rain intensified and showed no signs of abating.

Large raindrops lashed against Milo's face, yet his blood was churning, and he was still reeling from the terrifying battle.

Milo gasped for breath, glancing back at the houses engulfed in flames behind him, then at the end of the dark alley.

"The old man is right, the winner is always the one with the lower bottom line."

He muttered to himself as he walked around the house back into the alley behind it, first returning to the spot where Jones had been injured, and freed Jones from the wall where he had been impaled by the five-sided pyramid.

The latter's shadow has clearly begun to fade, but it seems they are not in any danger, even though, strictly speaking, they have both died once.

Milo glanced down at the simple, dark red spiked club in his hand and put it away. By the time he reached the other end of the alley, the sniper, Old Luo, and several other uninjured men had already surrounded Eric, Henry, and Will.

The bullet wounds that had pierced their bodies had stopped burning, but everyone was completely unconscious.

Luo gestured to Milo in broken sign language, saying, "It will take some time to rest and recover."

“The manuscript translated by Ethan Field didn’t mention anything about the Exiled Shadow being injured,” Milo said, shaking his burned hand.

"It looks like we've met our match this time."

The only explanation is that the psychic possessed ancient magic from the Finich Manuscript or other evil tomes, most likely the Finich Manuscript, or even the original Necronomicon.

Moreover, the man in black even mentioned Milo's surname. The previous men in black had also mentioned that Milo was on their kill list. Clearly, these guys came prepared.

"Oh right, and those corpses too."

As Milo spoke, he suddenly remembered that there were still several corpses on the main street.

But when he returned to the scene, he found only a few puddles of mud on the ground, as if they had been corroded by some high-strength substance. Even the corpse's clothes were tattered and torn by the rain, slowly flowing down into the sewer.

"They really left no trace at all."

Milo noticed that a small piece of the bottom of his boots, which were standing on the mud, had been corroded, and he slowly took half a step back.

Not only the corpses of the men in black, but even David Derby's mutated monster body was rotting.

Milo shook his head and instructed the still-mobile Lao Luo and the others:
"Look for the bullets left at the scene, and try to preserve any other valuable clues. I need to go back to the city center to take a look."

The sirens that had been blaring had stopped.

But this did not mean the crisis was over. In fact, the sirens stopped, and Milo had an even worse feeling.

Because the men in black he encountered were definitely not all of their group, and while his side was engaged in fierce fighting, something must have gone wrong in the city center.

Especially now that Rebecca and old Theon, the mainstays of the South City Enforcement Office, have both temporarily fallen, the others in the office may not be able to easily handle some emergencies. Moreover, the parish where the Valrocan family lives is just south of the city, so Milo can only pray that the bad things that happen will not affect Emma and the others.

……

After rushing back to the city without stopping.

Milo saw countless city guards and law enforcement officers on the streets.

At this point, martial law had been declared.

Inquiries revealed that more than seven murders had occurred in the city in the past hour.

And this number is still increasing because some incidents happen quietly, and it is estimated that no one has yet discovered the victims.

Almost all the cases occurred at the same time.

"We have already deployed more personnel to seal off all crime scenes and are striving to complete the evidence collection for all cases before dawn. We have heard that similar incidents have occurred in other law enforcement jurisdictions, but we are too busy right now to communicate with each other."

The law enforcement officers on the street who recognized Milo quickly reported to him.

The other person noticed bloodstains on Milo's body and face and asked in a low voice, "Are you... alright?"

"I am fine."

Milo untied his tie and wrapped it around the palm of his hand, which was burned and bleeding, then said:
"Search all crime scenes as soon as possible, and first compile a report on all cases that have occurred in our jurisdiction for me."

"clear."

Milo rushed back to the law enforcement office.

Along the way, he saw charred houses where the fire had been extinguished, unidentified corpses lying on the streets, and the air was filled with a faint smell of burning and blood.
