Ke-style law enforcement officers

Chapter 591 Teacher
Monquia didn't know why the Snails and the Star Families had stopped their siege, nor how long this stalemate would last, but he had no other choice.

If the battle resumes before he finishes his funeral, then it's simply fate.

As for his actions...

The hunters who were buried were not all near death; some of them were still able to fight, but it was all in vain.

He killed, buried, and erected monuments to his companions one by one.

Then, right before everyone's eyes, they began to peer into and absorb these still-warm spiritual visions.

……

If one had even a slight understanding of the survival rules of human psychics, one would know just how chilling this scene was.

Especially noteworthy is He Fang's cold indifference and Raven's tacit approval.

Perhaps the expanded vision and elevated life level brought about by spiritual vision are accompanied by indifference that no one can avoid, just like the laws of nature.

...

High above the floating structure, the Star Familia had long since ceased their siege of Rebecca.

It seemed that something deep within Narleya had issued a command, causing the Familia and the Snails to stop and observe quietly.

Meanwhile, on the floating structure, Rebecca's revolver barrel was already red-hot, and she had entered a strange state, with white smoke billowing from her body.

She had tried to counterattack dozens of times, each time trying to get close to the critical point on the verge of being disintegrated. In terms of combat, Rebecca was indeed a genius, after all, she was a ruthless person who dared to fight against zombies when she was still an ordinary human.

Even Milo didn't know that after making dozens of gun parry attempts, the Visionary would enter this "overheated" state.

"Let's take a break, I mean, let the gun rest for a while."

He waved to Rebecca, indicating that she could take a break.

The latter nodded and sat down next to Milo, enveloped in billowing smoke.

At this moment, even when Rebecca opened her mouth to speak, she was exhaling smoke. She asked Milo, "What's going on down there?"

Milo craned his neck downwards and muttered, "They should be mostly dead by now."

If you think about it, he's been sitting here for quite a while now, and his butt is almost numb from sitting so long.

Around that time, the person I had been longing for finally appeared.

...

The streets of R'lyeh are filled with countless snail-like figures piled on top of each other and squeezed together.

As a shout, the source of which was difficult to pinpoint, rang out, the soft tissues on the street seemed to "flow" to both sides, making way for someone.

A figure slowly emerged from behind the crowd of snails.

……

On the upper level of the floating structure, even Milo himself frowned and looked puzzled when he saw the person's face clearly.

"There is still such a thing."

...

Emerging from the throng of snails was a semi-illusory figure, whose body emitted a visual effect resembling white flames as he passed through the shadows of certain buildings.

Judging from his appearance, the guy who slowly walked out was actually the Dream Realm Spirit Visionist who had been torn apart by the hybrids on the Pohnpei Peninsula, and also the original planner of this operation to steal the "Snail Annihilation City Text"—Chandler.

Of course, the guy who appears at this point is almost certainly just someone who looks like Chandler, or even someone who never existed at all.

The actor who flawlessly portrayed Chandler was actually Tutis Crowe.

……

Boom!
Almost at the same time that "Chandler" appeared and stood firm among the snails.

A terrifying whooshing sound immediately came from the floating structure.

Immediately afterwards, a terrifying beam of light, carrying endless black matter, crashed down, crushing Crow, who was disguised as Chandler, to the ground with perfect precision.

As the churning air dissipated, everyone could clearly see that the one that crashed down from the sky was Milo, who had broken free from the shadows. At that moment, he had stomped the head of the Visionary's projection into the ruins.

...

"Ahahaha..."

The "Chandler" crushed in the rubble raised his head. This time, his face was completely different from before. The features that belonged to "Chandler" had completely disappeared, replaced by a face that was extremely similar to Raven's, but in his youth.

It was just like when it was "born" in the cemetery on the outskirts of Nanwei City not long ago.

He was handsome and refined, with deep blue-green eyes that seemed to hold countless secrets buried in the past. He exuded a strange and captivating aura, even as he was being trampled on in the ruins.

"You still found out, no... well, it wasn't you who found out, I exposed myself, right? Heh."

Crow chuckled, his manner and tone suggesting a playful banter between friends.

He tried to move the boot that Camelot was stepping on the side of his face, but failed.

……

Sure enough, Crow appeared just as Raven was about to be isolated and helpless.

Just as Milo had initially predicted.

The only thing he didn't guess was that Crow was "Chandler".

Perhaps Milo should have guessed it long ago, but he overlooked it.

The whole incident was caused by the so-called Dream Vision Seer plotting to create a teaching manual in the Sea, and it was this incident that dragged Raven, He Fang, and even Rebecca and Milo into it.

The so-called incantation to communicate with R'lyeh cannot actually compel the natives to discover the "Book of the Annihilation City." Its true function is to use the power of Cthulhu to draw everyone out of the waking world and into this frozen point in time and space by employing the Star Familiars who are in their dreams.

All the changes can be attributed to that so-called "spell".

The reason Milo didn't think in that direction was because he was confident enough in his dream-inducing abilities. Chandler was indeed once swayed by his dream and told the "story" in detail.

No one knows exactly how he managed to fool Milo.

It can be said that Crowe put on another show for everyone, a show even more spectacular than The Night of the Black Goat.

……

Currently, amidst the encirclement of the Snails and the Star Families, Raven and Crow appear in the same shot for the first time (this is the case for Milo).

At least up to this point, Milo could be 100% certain that Raven and Crow were not the same person, at least not in a physical sense.

The master and apprentice, who had been separated for many days, reunited in such a strange way, and both of them remained unusually calm.

The raven even quite logically called out to its younger self, who was lying on the ground, "Teacher."

All the complex emotions I experienced on this path—confusion, helplessness, sudden realization, astonishment, and fear—have now coalesced into the simple title of "teacher."

The former student is now an old man, while the teacher who was his guide and mentor has become a young boy, being trampled under someone's feet in a very comical manner.

Moreover, if I told you that the purpose of both sides going through all this trouble was to kill each other, would you believe me?

...

"We've finally met again."

A strange smile appeared on the half of Klauna's face that was crushed in the rubble. Every expression and gesture of his was a mixture of the naivety of a boy and the ancient vicissitudes and profundity.

……

It was a long-awaited reunion. Both sides had uncovered many unknown secrets in various corners of the world, including each other's secrets.

Regardless of why these two are so determined to kill each other, the situation today is probably because both of them feel they have enough confidence and strength to kill the other.

However, Milorad, who had endured all the way from Pohnpei Peninsula to Ralleya, didn't have time to sit by and wait for the master and apprentice to exchange pleasantries and reminisce.

Just as Crow was about to say something...

"Hey, in a way you're like a father to me, how come you're stepping on my head the moment we meet? That's not right... Ah!!!"

He started howling wildly before he could finish his sentence.

Because Milo stepped on Crow's head, tearing one of his projection's complete right arms off his torso.

...

He squeezed the illusory image of the severed arm tightly, and the image shattered into dust in an instant.

After completing the series of actions with a blank expression, Milo bent down slightly and said to Crow:
"Let me make it clear beforehand, no matter where you were projected from, I can kill your real body by following the network cable."
