Ke-style law enforcement officers

Chapter 551 You'll Need This Time
"Stop, I don't have time to listen to your nonsense right now."

Milo put away his pistol, interrupting the Scarlet Witch's rambling spiel.

He knew that all this old witch had on her mind was preaching and plundering faith. Even if what she was saying seemed to make sense right now, Milo was too lazy to study the Age of Fear.

“I’m going to find Emma, ​​bring her back, and then find and kill whoever took her, understand? No matter what they are.”

“That might be a bit difficult, I mean the latter,” the Scarlet Witch said in a low voice.

But before Milo could continue, she added:
"But I think you could start with the person who has mastered forbidden knowledge. After all, he's the only one so far who has the ability to drag you into the abyss, isn't he?"

"Tutis Crow?"

In fact, Milo had already thought of this.

In fact, he had originally suspected that this guy was responsible for Emma's disappearance.

However, there is no evidence.

"Where is he right now?"

"You'll have to ask the Eye of Thinking about that."

The Scarlet Witch turned to look in the direction of the Milo house, where Daisy was also looking in that direction from the second-floor window.

For some reason, Milo always felt that there was something inexplicable between Daisy and the Scarlet Witch. It wasn't exactly hostility, but there was definitely a clear... how to put it, they were watching each other, or perhaps they were deliberately keeping their distance.

...

For the Eye of Thinking, perhaps not everything in the abyss and dream realm can be seen, but in the conscious world, it is very difficult for anything to be hidden from her.

Perhaps Crow has some means to avoid the gaze of the Eye of Thinking, but he is unlikely to misjudge his approximate location as long as he remains in the conscious world.

...

"colony?"

"Yes."

"Those islands in the eastern seas that are controlled by the Solomon Islands?"

"Yes, brother, that's the place."

"The first place Klaue went after his resurrection was Raven's territory? It seems these two really want to kill each other."

God knows how long this "I'm killing myself" drama will last.

No one knows how this person, who claims to possess forbidden knowledge, managed to create another version of himself, and now they have become mortal enemies.

Judging from Raven's past words, Crow was his former "teacher," the one who guided him onto the path of the Monsis faction. This explains why his psychic abilities were later confirmed, and why the Hunter organization emerged shortly afterward.

Then something went wrong, and the Hunters turned around and hunted down Klaue.

It was as if he was shooting himself in the foot.

This makes absolutely no sense for someone who is supposed to be someone who knows taboos.

...

"How long does it take to get from Nanwei City to the Colonial Islands?" Milo asked the group.

“That depends on what kind of ship you’re on,” C said. As an investigator who frequently travels around the world, he had quite a bit of insight into long-distance travel.

"What kind of boat is the fastest? Can the coastal law enforcement patrol boats go that way?" Milo asked Rebecca.

Rebecca shook her head: "No, those are all trash. They can only circle around inshore, and a big wave can smash them to pieces."

"So?" Milo shrugged.

Rebecca replied, "The fastest ships are smuggling vessels."

“That sounds reasonable,” Milo muttered.

Investigator C interjected, "It's true. While major shipping routes were still using wooden paddle wheels, the smuggling ships operated by the nobility were already using steam-powered iron propellers. If you're looking for speed, I hope you know some noble friends who have enough wealth." "No wonder hunters always use the nobility's transport routes when they travel in and out of the continent," Milo shrugged.

He then announced to the crowd:

"So, for the next few days, I'll leave everything here to you all, because I'm going on a long trip."

The room is now filled with law enforcement teams, church members, investigators from the University of Michigan, and even a half-baked city guard (of course, this identity is not very important; what is important is the power of the Night Demon).

It's a miracle that this group of people could even get together in one room.

A closer look at the beliefs, academic philosophies, personal moral codes, and behavioral styles of the various factions reveals that they are almost entirely contradictory, to the point where chaos could erupt at any moment.

The current peaceful coexistence is truly a miracle.

...

As for travel and transportation, as C said, if you want to pursue speed and efficiency, the best thing to do is to find a wealthy noble friend. Such a person will definitely have one or two top-of-the-line cargo ships and sea routes.

That's not a problem. Even with the help of Dream Inspiration, they can still assemble a top-notch HNA team.

However, Milo went along with it and sent someone to deliver the old marriage certificate that he had "treasured" for a long time to Sherman Manor.

Milo felt that if he kept the thing that the castor bean lady had been longing for for a while, he might forget about it himself.

Just now, Jonathan was very helpful in investigating Emma's whereabouts at the surrounding ports, even though it was unlikely to yield any results. But since he was so eager to help, right?

……

Less than three hours later, the Sherman family sent Jonathan a message—they were ready to leave at any time.

Milo, on the other hand, didn't need to prepare anything at all.

Come to think of it, this seems to be only the second time he has traveled far from home in the conscious world. If we don't count "cross-world activities" like going to the Dreamland or the Abyss, the last time he left Nanwei City was during his trip to Galid.

Milo doesn't even need to carry a suitcase; he can just put a full jug of whiskey in his pocket and head out the door.

If I remember correctly, Galid brought a whole case of weapons and ammunition that time, plus liquid bombs that Emma "thoughtfully" prepared...

...

Milo thought he was fast enough.

But when he arrived at the private port surrounded by reefs, he found that someone was already waiting there.

Coincidentally, this person was the same companion from the last long journey, and it seemed that he had been waiting on the shore for quite some time.

It's Rebecca.

She removed all her law enforcement uniforms and weapon accessories, changed into a leather voyage suit, and carried a heavy suitcase. Judging from its weight alone, it wasn't hard to guess what was inside.

...

"No, what are you doing here?" Milo had no idea that Rebecca had found out about this place beforehand. He stepped forward and asked:

“I remember clearly that I said, ‘Everything here is in your hands now,’ so you’re the only one who didn’t understand what I meant?”

At this point, the sailors on the smuggling ship, seeing that everyone had arrived, laid a plank across the ship and the shore to signal that they could board.

“I didn’t include myself in ‘everyone’,” Rebecca said, picking up her box and walking onto the wooden plank.

“Hey, you know that’s very unprofessional, Chief Inspector.” Milo shrugged.

The Rebecca I remember was someone with a strong sense of belonging, mission, and honor towards the law enforcement system, especially after Nero's death.

Such dereliction of duty is quite unusual for her.

However, the redhead who had already stepped onto the cargo ship's deck clearly hadn't considered all that. She turned to Milo and said:
"Don't worry, I'm a native of the colony islands, and you'll definitely need me this time."
