Ke-style law enforcement officers

Chapter 547 Disappearance
another world.

Or rather, in the real, sober world.

"Are you saying that older women have nothing to do with beauty?"

"of course not!"

"what is that?"

"That's... well, I have some business to attend to at my law enforcement office..."

"Ok?"

"Whoosh!"

...

"Oh right, Enid said she's coming over for dinner tonight... Hmm? Where is she?"

Milo, who had just left the room, turned around, pushed the door open, and came back.

To his surprise, Emma, ​​who had been within a few meters of him just two seconds earlier, had vanished.

I could even feel her voice still ringing in my ears.

But only Finn and Kang remained in the large living room; the front door was completely empty.

Sensing something was wrong, Milo immediately frowned.

With his Shadow's senses, he could instantly determine that Emma was not in this house, or even on this nearby street.

A strange sense of unease crept into my heart.

Nevertheless, Milo instinctively asked Finn:

Where is your sister?

"Huh? Wasn't she over there? Hey?" Finn and Kang were even slower to react. They thought Emma was still standing where she used to be at the bottom of the stairs, but they only realized she had disappeared when they turned around.

"They probably went upstairs."

After all, everyone in her family knows Emma's habits well; her movements are hard to detect but easy to judge.

……

Milo shook his head, subconsciously took two steps back, glanced at the footprints on the floor, and then turned to look outside.

What troubled him was that he had now amplified his psychic senses to cover the entire parish, but he still couldn't find Emma.

Komilo was certain that Emma had been standing in front of him and speaking a minute earlier.

She was wearing a long black dress, her hair was tied up, she was barefoot, and she was holding a book in her hand…

He could even clearly remember the fine red blood vessels in Emma's eyes.

Milo was certain that what he had just witnessed was not an illusion.

So his first reaction was that he might have inexplicably fallen into an abyss or entered some kind of illusion again.

But when Milo came to his senses, he realized that apart from Emma's sudden disappearance, everything around him seemed normal.

The weather outside was sunny.

No rules of mutation lead to changes in interpersonal relationships or biological forms.

At least not yet.

...

"I'll go upstairs and take a look."

In the living room, the three men of the Valrocan family exchanged glances and then immediately got to work.

Finn scurried upstairs in a flash.

Then came a series of clanging and banging sounds of doors opening and closing, followed by his anxious shouts from the stair railing downstairs: "There's no one upstairs!"

"That girl is really something, she doesn't even say a word before leaving the house."

Kang decided to go out and look for it.

He had just put on his coat when he realized that Milo, who had been standing at the door, was gone.

There was absolutely no sound, it was as if it had suddenly evaporated.

……

...

"It's not an illusion, it's not an abyss..."

Milo wandered the streets.

Everything around us is real, and there are no loopholes.

But Milo, who had entered and exited the Abyss twice, knew that the world imitated by the Abyss Chaos was so realistic that it was impossible to distinguish it from the real thing with the naked eye.

So Milo went to the law enforcement office first.

After walking straight through the office lobby and going upstairs, I ran into Rebecca in the hallway.

"You've come at the right time, there's something I need to tell you..." Rebecca was holding a stack of documents when she looked up and saw Milo walking towards her. She was about to say something when Milo picked her up and threw her into the office with one hand before she could finish her sentence.

Then the door slammed shut.

...

Rebecca was completely bewildered throughout the entire process.

Without even a conditioned reflex, he was pressed against the wall with almost no resistance.

At that moment, her mind went blank.

Rebecca had seen Milo display his strength before, but the oppressive feeling of seeing him treat others roughly was completely different from the feeling of him treating her roughly.

The crucial point is that she doesn't know what Milo is planning to do.

……

The documents were scattered on the office floor.

Meanwhile, Rebecca, who was considered the strongest in the law enforcement agency on paper by outsiders, was being held against the wall by the neck like a kitten, her expression full of astonishment and confusion.

She even glanced subconsciously at the closed but unlocked door.

...

And what did Milo do?
His eyes were instantly covered by some kind of black, including the whites of his eyes.

With his completely black eyes, he stared at Rebecca at close range for about a minute.

He was using the power of fear and his spiritual vision to scrutinize Rebecca in every aspect, including the strength of her spiritual vision, her sanity, and her power. The reason was that if he were currently in the Abyss World, everything around him would be illusory, and ordinary creatures evolved from chaos would be unable to distinguish between reality and illusion. In comparison, the spiritual beings he was familiar with would be the easiest to judge.

……

What Milo didn't realize was...

Rebecca was unusually cooperative with him. Even when they were close together, she still stared wide-eyed at Milo's dark, scrutinizing eyes.

She even secretly took off the brass ring on her finger that connected with the Shadow of Exile.

...

Finally, Milo sighed, concealing the darkness in his eyes, and released Rebecca's neck.

He clearly felt that he hadn't pinched her very hard, but Rebecca's face turned bright red.

...

As for why he sighed...

It was because he finally confirmed that this was the world of lucidity.

He did not fall into the abyss again.

But this was precisely the situation Milo didn't want to see, because it was better for him to fall into the abyss than for Emma to mysteriously disappear.

……

Rebecca clearly noticed the distinct anxiety in Milo's expression.

So he put aside the strange thoughts in his mind and asked seriously, "What happened?"

"I'm not sure of the specifics yet, but Emma has suddenly disappeared."

Milo shook his head and walked out.

But then he suddenly turned back to Rebecca and asked:

"Help me look for it?"

“Of course,” Rebecca answered readily.

Milo rubbed his temples, and after thinking for a moment, he tried to explain his rough behavior: "I was trying to verify something."

"understandable."

Rebecca's demeanor and overall appearance have quickly returned to normal.

Except for the brass ring I was clutching in my hand, which I forgot to put back on.

Unfortunately, Milo noticed them and asked:

Why did you take off your ring?

Rebecca didn't answer the question. Instead, she quickly picked up the documents from the floor, pushed open the door, and left, saying only, "I'll find out about your sister as soon as possible."

"Okay, I'll think of another way."

Milo didn't waste any more time with unnecessary words and turned to leave the law enforcement office.

He searched the entire city of Nanwei almost at top speed.

It's almost certain that Emma isn't in this city at all.

Unless there is some means to hide it from the Old Ones at the Shadow level.
