Ke-style law enforcement officers

Chapter 454 I Have to Go
Later, something terrible seemed to happen in the worship pit.

But nobody knows exactly what happened.

That night, everyone in the church heard strange moaning sounds, and no one dared to investigate what was happening underground.

The only person who could "see" the bottom of the depression stood calmly on the edge and waited the whole time.

At first, the entrance to the entire worship pit was shrouded in a pale mist that blocked everything out, including the vision of the Eye of Thinking.

A look of worry appeared on Daisy's face.

However, the mist completely dissipated only after the commotion in the worship pit had completely ceased.

The last to appear at the edge of the worship pit was Milo, carrying a crowbar in one hand and Dillashaw in the other.

He had only a few slight traces of ash on his body, and no other signs of injury.

Upon seeing this, Daisy finally smiled.

……

Milo placed Dillash on the flat ground to the side.

The man was dressed in rags, but the festering flesh on his limbs had already scabbed over. Perhaps after a while, when the scabs completely dried and fell off his body, he would be considered healed. At the moment, he looked rather gruesome, even grotesque, his whole body pitted and scarred like a rotting corpse that had been soaking in a swamp for a month.

Milo hung the crowbar, stained with fluorescent blood and glowing red-hot, on his waist, squatted down to examine Dirasha's condition, then seemed to remember something, walked over to Daisy, took out a metal flask from the trench coat draped over her, unscrewed the cap, pried open Dirasha's mouth with his fingers, and poured half a flask of strong liquor into his mouth.

"This is the water of life; drink it and you will remember what it feels like to be alive."

Milo poured the last few drops of wine from the empty jug into his own mouth, calmly shoved the jug back into Daisy's arms, and continued:

“That woodworm down there has devoured all the remaining roots and stems of the Golden Tree. Although it sounds a bit far-fetched, it has absorbed all the nutrients of the Golden Tree, which is equivalent to receiving all the blessings of the Golden Tree... Diracho's life was bought with those people's money. He and the woodworm in the worship pit have formed a kind of fate bond. If I kill it, Diracho will be beyond saving.”

Milo knew what it felt like to lose a believer.

His followers were killed by vampire spirit seers.

For Daisy, it was even more cruel; she had to personally send her followers into the worship pit, using their lives to save De La Shaw's life.

Milo didn't know if this was a law or rule that those in power would develop an extremely strong desire to settle accounts for the deaths of their followers, just like the feeling he had when he desperately wanted to find the vampire spirit seer.

Perhaps Daisy is one of them.

However, Milo cannot kill the creatures in the worship pit, and he has already made the reasons very clear.

This means that this torment will forever remain in Daisy's heart.

……

"I understand."

However, Daisy did not show any disappointment. She nodded sensibly and told Milo that he did not need to worry about her condition.

...

There is a peculiar relationship between Daisy and De La Shaw.

It all started in the very cabin where her parents were brutally murdered. On that morning, Milo was there, De La Shaw was there, and Daisy was hiding in the cabin's cramped storage room.

In order to eliminate any trace of the Apostles of Calamity, Dirac had planned to burn down the hut.

But Milo saved Daisy.

However, he also indirectly led to something even more terrible that happened later: Daisy had her eyes gouged out.

Afterwards, it was Dillah who brought Daisy back to the church. He knew that Daisy possessed some kind of strange power, but in order to protect the child, he chose to keep it a secret from the contract organization and his superiors in the deacon department.

But on the night of the hunt, he witnessed the threatening power of the dark forces.

In the end, he handed Daisy over to the contract organization. He had hesitated for a while before that, but in the end he made what he believed to be the right choice.

But Daisy was not "purified" like the other apostles of tribulation; instead, she became the vessel of the Eye of Thinking and the Eye Saint of the Church.

From then on, it was Daisy who guided Dirac.

...

This convoluted whole thing seems to be full of coincidences.

But if we look at it from another angle, weren't their fates intertwined from the very beginning?

Just like the timeless dialogue between Milo and Raven, it seemed as if it had all been preordained, and they were simply putting it into practice.

Perhaps, perhaps the Eye of Thinking had already foreseen all of this, which is why it brought Milo, Dirac, and others into this chaotic situation.

Who can say for sure...?

...

Thinking this, Milo suddenly remembered something: that strange figure he still couldn't understand.

“I recently set up a hunt for the Spirit Visors in the city, but instead of finding a target, I attracted something... well, a very strange thing. It exuded the aura of the Golden Tree. I initially thought it was someone from within the church, but now you say that the Golden Tree in the real world is dead, its roots and stems burned and devoured. So what exactly did I encounter…”

The shadow that briefly met Milo in the graveyard and then vanished completely emanated a power of the Golden Tree that was even more concentrated and pure than that of Diracho and the creature in the worship pit.

But this doesn't make sense, because according to Daisy, the remaining power of the Golden Tree is basically all in Dillashow and the Worship Pit.

When Milo mentioned this detail, Daisy's face showed a brief moment of confusion, but it was only fleeting. She didn't explain to Milo, but simply lowered her head calmly and used her thin, fair hands to pull Milo's trench coat tighter around herself.

There seemed to be a hint of regret in his tone.

She said, "So, they've already arrived..."

“Them?” Milo frowned. “What are they?”

But Daisy shook her head:

"It's alright, brother. Let's get down to business. Aren't you eager to know who's pulling the strings behind all this? I know you still have many unanswered questions. I think, while we still have time, I'll tell you everything I know."

"First of all, Mr. Raven, I can tell you definitively that his real name is Tutis Crow, but I still can't see his figure clearly, just like I can't see your origins. You and he, neither of you belong to this era, this age. What I see in him is struggle and confusion. Perhaps he is also searching for his true self. I can only tell you that Raven is Tutis Crow, but Crow is not necessarily Raven."

"Also, that shadow that attacked Dirasha thought it was well hidden... Brother, do you remember Raven mentioning that he had a teacher? That shadow, and all the dark inhabitants who might appear in Nanwei City, as well as that vampire spirit seer with mixed beliefs, they were all recruited by the Monsis School in various ways, not necessarily by Raven. This time, I see more clues indicating that this was a plan orchestrated by his teacher."

"He is a contract scholar who has been missing for many years. No one knows his origins. Legend has it that he was one of the first scholars to set foot in this unseen land. I saw him. His will is more resolute and clear than Raven's. He knows and possesses far more secrets than Raven. The Monsis School's belief in the eye totem and the moon originated from this person. Please be careful, because this person does not have Raven's kindness and reason..."

"Do you remember the three things I mentioned before? The Eye of Thinking, the Son of Death, Mego, and the Enlightenment of the Moon. The madmen of the Monsis School came for these things. Through years of research, their understanding of the fallen civilization has surpassed that of the cautious contract scholars. Before the Church could understand the truth of the fall of the Sumerian civilization, they may have already mastered much of the knowledge of the gods."

"We still don't know what these three things mean, but the Monsis school already has their understanding and knowledge, and even knows the uses of these three things. Now they have taken action."

"The attack on Dillah was just the first step."

"That vampire spirit seer with mixed beliefs comes from Cainhurst City. He is a descendant of the scholars who left the contract organization the first time. He is now also a member of the Monsis School. They are plotting a conspiracy, a conspiracy to plunder the world's faith power."

“Remember my words, war is the only opportunity to cause disaster, and disaster is the best time for the superiors to plunder faith. What they want to create is a war between the old ones. Imnar and Shab Nicholas are the two that have already shown their signs, but there will be more later, depending on how many superiors that vampire seer serves.”

……

"These are all the clues I can provide you."

Daisy's tone began to become urgent.

She seemed so eager to finish her sentence that her words were disorganized.

"I'm sorry, brother. I haven't fully mastered the power of the Eye of Thinking. I'm still a long way from omniscience, but I don't have that much time left. I really, really want to tell you all the truth."

"it's okay no problem."

Milo crouched down and pulled Daisy, who was only half his height, into his arms.

"You know, that's pretty impressive. Let me tell you, everyone around me is either an idiot or a damn riddle teller. It's so great to have someone like you who can explain things from the inside out. It's really great to have you, really."

People are often like this: when no one cares about them, they are able to maintain their strength to the greatest extent to face various anxieties and crises. But once someone treats them gently, the grievances that have been bottled up for a long time will burst out like a river that has broken its banks, finding an outlet and becoming uncontrollable.

Daisy leaned on Milo's shoulder and burst into tears.

She was trembling all over and crying like a child.

But in the church today, no one really treats her like a child. She is the vessel of the Eye of Thinking, the ruler of the Star Clock Tower, and the all-knowing Saintess.

No one knew that just over a year ago, this was just a poor child who had lost both parents.

Only Milo, who had once dreamt of Daisy, knew what her deepest fears were.

……

Milo had read many ancient texts, some of which even contained spells to resurrect the dead, but none of them had taught him how to comfort people.

Moreover, given the current situation, it seems that verbal comfort is no longer of any use.

"There's no need to rush, I can handle it, trust me."

Milo cupped Daisy's slightly gaunt face and wiped away the tear stains on her cheeks.

Daisy simply shook her head, rubbing her small hands together anxiously, as if deep in thought:
"It's okay. I've thought about it carefully, and I've told you about all the secrets I know. Oh, right, there's one more, but I'm not sure if you want to know... Maybe I should just tell you now, because it might be too late..."

"What do you mean it's too late?" Milo was taken aback.

The next second, some figures vaguely emerged from the dark space above the altar ruins in the unseen land.

They were enveloped in the holy light of the golden tree, yet their true forms were a chaotic void, seemingly incompatible with all other tangible things around them.

The moment these figures appeared, they exuded a strong sense of oppression.

Even the pebbles on the ground trembled.

……

Milo's brows furrowed instantly.

When they appeared, Milo could clearly feel Daisy's hands trembling even more violently.

But instead of asking for help, she leaned close to Milo's ear and said as quickly as possible:

"In the law enforcement office, in the law enforcement office, there are people there whose hearts are filled with your name, hehe."

"Okay, okay, I've told you everything, I..."

"I have to go, brother..."
