Ke-style law enforcement officers

Chapter 314 Each with their own purpose
As for why not just take the weapons from the law enforcement office?
Because the weapons they brought are going to be used, and a quick search at the scene will reveal that they are bullets from the law enforcement agency, which would add another charge to Milo's record.

……

As night fell, Milo drove around the city and soon found Grasso hiding in the bustling city.

The connection that Dream Link established between the two never ceased. Milo kept track of Grasso's movements from beginning to end, and no matter where Grasso was attacked in the city, Milo was able to react immediately.

However, 24 hours have passed since Fishing Operation 2.0, and Grasso is still alive and well.

...

On a bustling street, the woman was dressed in long sleeves and trousers, with her long hair piled up and covered by a men's baseball cap, making her a purely masculine figure from head to toe.

Ever since she was used as bait by Milo, she has been hiding from XZ.

Grasso felt completely unsafe no matter where he was.

After separating from Milo, she became increasingly nervous, but the real sense of crisis didn't come from the hunters lurking in the shadows; rather, it came from another indescribable, strange feeling.

Sometimes she would feel palpitations for no reason.

Perhaps it's because in her current mindset, the ability to become invisible can no longer guarantee her safety 100%.

Another possibility is that Grasso developed some degree of dependence on Milo.

She herself couldn't quite explain what kind of feeling it was, but now Grasso no longer had the resistance and disgust she used to have towards Milo. On the contrary, after leaving Milo, she often had some abnormal physiological reactions, such as inexplicable scalp tingling, heart palpitations, and even occasionally feeling like she was falling from a great height, which would startle her and make her break out in a cold sweat.

In short, Grasso is now extremely nervous.

……

She was unaware that these symptoms were caused by the combined effect of low sanity and dream-induced states.

That inexplicable feeling of dependence can also be attributed to the dream.

But she herself wouldn't be aware of this.

So much so that whenever Milo met Grasso's gaze, he always felt like a pervert who exerted mental control over others.

It seems that, to some extent, it is indeed mind control.

"Oh no, I've really become a pervert."

Milo's face twitched twice.

He noticed that Grasso's symptoms were getting worse; her eyes were filled with a jumble of emotions: joy, fear, pleading, adoration, and even hunger...

"I think it's necessary to confirm that you're an adult, right?"

Grasso smiled and nodded obediently at Milo.

After receiving a positive answer, Milo felt his guilt lessen slightly.

He knew that, given Grasso's current state, she would obey any order, no matter how outrageous it was.

But Milo didn't think about this in detail, because he knew that his control over the dream was almost zero, and any imagined scene that appeared in his mind could be transformed into a real scene and imposed on Grasso.

what--

Milo took a deep breath, trying to control the wicked thoughts in his mind to prevent someone from sprinkling water in the street.

"I'm a fucking, absolutely pure, upright person, too upright."

"What are you talking about?" Grasso blinked and asked Milo.

"It's alright, I have a task for you, come with me."

Milo said in a low voice, then led Grasso away from the downtown area.

If it were Grasso a few days ago, upon hearing Milo say, "I have a task for you," he would probably have fled for his life at full speed.

But now, Grasso's reaction was to nod and obediently follow Milo.

"Although I promised to provide you with the location of the noble manor's vault, the crisis is not over yet, and the case is still under investigation, so I have to postpone what I promised you."

Milo muttered to himself.

Grasso very understandingly replied, "It's okay."

“We’re going to check out the York family’s docks tonight. Given the current shortage of manpower, I think you could be of help.” Milo glanced back at Grasso.

The latter smiled and said, "Of course I can help. I'll listen to whatever you say."

“You’re not afraid of me anymore, huh?” Milo narrowed his eyes.

"Why should I be afraid of you?" Grasso suddenly curled his lips and subconsciously licked his teeth with his tongue. "You saved my life, twice."

She particularly emphasized the number "twice".

Milo knew what she was implying, but still pretended to be serious and said, "You're welcome. I'll give you a chance to repay my kindness in the future."

……

They should have gone straight to meet up with old Theon right now.

However, when passing through the 10th parish in the city center, I found the streets crowded with countless citizens.

Under the watchful eyes of the city guards, everyone remained silent, as a man in his thirties was giving a passionate speech in front of the fountain in the center of the street.

Milo remembered the face: slightly wrinkled, with barely noticeable eye bags and thin lips. It was County Councilman Max Johnson, who was in charge of the inspection team.

...

The crowd held candles in their hands, as did the government officials standing behind the county councilors on the stage. In addition, there seemed to be some ordinary people in the procession.

“The people standing with me today represent the families of all the victims of that night, no, they represent all the unprotected people in the city at night. Why must it be like this?”

"Over the past decade, the benefits that the county government has brought to Nanwei City are far less than those of previous governors. It is clear that the county governor has reduced the security budget in recent years and spent the funds on some dispensable county projects. The remaining so-called security network is already dilapidated."

"More and more of our fellow citizens only realize they are on the verge of collapse when they are already in crisis. To me, this is not only tragic, it is unforgivable! Their nobles can lie comfortably in their manors guarded by private armies, while we have to live in fear at night. Why should we!"

"I am here to say that we must not allow this situation to continue to deteriorate. It is regrettable that a heinous massacre is needed to remind us to reflect on this, but we can withstand the test, and all our citizens should enjoy the protection of the law!"

"I'm warning those cold-blooded killers lurking in the shadows: don't even think about making a move tonight, not tomorrow, never! We will protect this city! Brothers and sisters, we will protect you!"

……

It has to be said that anyone who can reach the position of county councilor, regardless of their background, must at least have a very sharp tongue.

On the crowded streets, citizens loudly echoed County Councilor Max.

The sound of shouting came in waves.

...

His brief yet impassioned words made Nanwei remember him.

More notably, while he appears to be criticizing the aristocracy, his true target is actually the current county government leader.

Milo stood on the outer edge of the crowd, hands in his pockets, gazing at the not-so-tall figure on the platform in the center of the street, and muttered to himself:
"Hmm—they all came to Nanwei City with different purposes."
