Chapter 425 Abyss
The homeless man running ahead turned around with a horrified look on his face and yelled:
"It's just a pack of cigarettes, Officer! It's really unnecessary! You threw it away yourself!!"

As he turned around and started yelling, Milo saw the other person's face clearly and became even more certain that the spiky guy wrapped in seven or eight tattered coats was Yan!
“You…you stop right there! (Phew, phew…)”

Milo was out of breath.

He did not stop his pursuit.

Yan, as if he had seen a ghost, dared not stop. He too was panting heavily, stumbling and cursing as he went:
"This is unbelievable... How come you guys living in mansions can't even afford a pack of cigarettes! Damn you, you golden tree!"

"Stop it, you son of a bitch! Who the hell wanted that pack of cigarettes? I have questions for you!" Milo was so angry he was about to vomit blood.

He didn't know what was wrong with him, that he couldn't even catch up with a skinny guy.

Yan, who was running ahead, seemed to have completely forgotten who Milo was, and only thought of him as an officer who was going to drag him back to the law enforcement office. He was so scared that he didn't dare to stop for even a moment.

"You're kidding me... You're trying to trick me into going back to the law enforcement office, and the next day I'll be a scapegoat for some case! Do you think I'm stupid!?"

The two of them started pulling and tugging at each other as they chased each other down the street.

Pedestrians on the road heard the commotion from a distance but dared not get involved and kept their distance.

However, it's at the street corner.

Suddenly, a thick arm reached out from inside a butcher shop, grabbed Yan's hood as he passed by, and lifted him off the ground with ease.

The helpful bystander was a burly middle-aged man wearing a shiny apron; he was probably the owner of the butcher shop.

He was only holding on with one hand, and no matter how hard Yan struggled, he couldn't break free.

In a moment of desperation, Yan began punching and kicking the butcher.

But he was so thin that when his fist hit the boss, it was like a small fist punching your chest, and he couldn't even budge the fat of the person.

The boss turned to look at Milo, his voice very rough:
"Sir, did this man steal something from you?"

Exhausted, Milo finally jogged to the butcher's shop, panting heavily as he thanked the man, "Thank you so much, thank you so much... It's nothing, I just had a few questions I wanted to ask him..."

But when he turned his gaze to the butcher's face, Milo's words caught in his throat.

He frowned deeply.

Finally, he took a step back and looked up at the sign hanging on the door of the butcher shop.

Robben's Fresh Meat Shop

The strong, middle-aged man in front of them was Robben, a serial killer whose family had long been destroyed and who had been shot dead by Rebecca in the underground rainwater pipe network.

Milo was stunned.

He looked at Robben with a strange expression, and after a long while, he only managed to utter this one sentence:

"You...you weren't already dead..."

This time it was Robben's turn to be confused.

He scratched his head, looking completely bewildered, and asked, "What are you talking about, sir?"

At that moment, Milo turned his gaze to the glass door of the butcher shop. He saw a lovely girl helping her mother count change. In Milo's memory, Robben's daughter had already turned into a beast and died...

Seemingly noticing Milo's gaze, the girl stopped what she was doing, pressed her face against the glass window, and watched with great interest as her father helped law enforcement officers catch thieves and criminals.

A sweet smile graced her face.

That smile was full of kindness and sunshine.

The first time Milo saw her was in an underground passage on a rainy night. At that time, the girl had turned into a desiccated corpse, with purplish skin, sparse hair, and empty eye sockets, a terrifying sight.

……

Milo stood there, stunned.

His hands and feet were ice cold.

Even his mind felt as if it had fallen into an ice cave, and he stopped thinking.

This series of unbelievable things completely shut down his brain.

……

He didn't understand what had happened.

It seems that he has begun to disregard what exactly went wrong.

From the moment Milo saw the smile on the girl's face, a strange feeling suddenly arose in his heart—"Maybe this is good too?"

There were no horrific stories of girls turning into beasts and tearing their birth mothers apart. Nor was there ever a serial killer in Nanwei City who gouged out people's eyeballs.

He was not troubled by nightmares.

Similarly, they were not involved in that series of bizarre events...

...

Maybe this is actually quite good, isn't it...?

...

……

Milo fell into a daze.

However, just as he was in a daze, Yan suddenly broke free from Robben's arm, shoved Milo aside, and prepared to run away.

Milo instinctively tried to stop him, and the two collided and rolled to the middle of the street in a tug-of-war.

Suddenly, in the struggle, Milo's revolver fell from his waist.

He reached out to pick it up.

But Yan, as if possessed, grabbed the revolver first, pointed it at Milo, and roared with a ferocious expression:

"go to hell!"

boom! ! !
...

...

The bullet merely pierced Milo's outer garment.

He wasn't hit.

But the final landing point was the glass window of the butcher shop behind Milo.

Milo only heard the crisp sound of glass shattering.

Then, what reached his ears was Robben's piercing screams and cries of pain.

……

Milo was no longer able to stop Yan from turning and fleeing.

When he turned around in a daze, what he saw was a shattered glass, stained with scarlet blood.

Inside the butcher shop, Robben is kneeling on the ground, holding a girl, and helplessly pleading for help from the crowd with a sob in his voice.

……

The bullet pierced through the girl's body.

Finally, it smashed a kerosene lamp on the table.

Kerosene spilled on the wall and ignited.

It was broad daylight, and the firelight wasn't dazzling at all.

But in Mirona's empty eyes, everything around him began to fade, and all that could be seen was the raging fire burning on the wall.

The flames looked exactly like the ancient god totems that Milo had lit on the walls in the underground rainwater pipe network.

……

So even in the abyss, some things are unavoidable?
She clearly didn't transform into a beast.

Why do we still have to die?
...

Milo's vision gradually blurred.

All he could hear was Robben's heart-wrenching cries.

Although Milo never stopped trying to convince himself that everything happening before his eyes was fake and had nothing to do with reality, Robben's wailing was so real.

……

Ultimately, Milo collapsed on the street.

He had no idea what happened after that.
