Ke-style law enforcement officers

Chapter 6 You Look Really Bad
To Milo's slight surprise, Rebecca, despite her small stature, managed to put up a fierce fight with the strange man outside the house.

"I should have renewed my membership with the boxing association."

At this moment, Milo could clearly feel the weakness in his limbs caused by his poor sleep during this period. Not to mention that strange man who was more than two meters tall outside, even the hound could probably fight Milo to a standstill right now.

He staggered out of the wooden house and shook his head vigorously.

Directly in front of her, Rebecca was locked in a fierce battle with the monster, her hands gripping two blades, each about thirty centimeters long, in reverse.

The strange creature seemed to have no sense of pain and was much stronger than an ordinary human, but Rebecca had the advantage of speed. In addition, there were various debris piled up in the valley, so as long as she was not tightly controlled, she had plenty of room to maneuver.

This was the first time Milo had witnessed the chief of staff's level of force.

Before this, he didn't think these guys in black trench coats were much different from ordinary people; perhaps their only advantage was that they had sophisticated weapons and equipment.

But after taking a solid kick from the monster, Milo realized just how big the difference was between the physical abilities of ordinary people and law enforcement officers.

Rebecca suffered just as much as Milo, but she was still able to move swiftly through the valley and even occasionally clash with the monsters.

Her slender waist, arms, and legs were as stiff as if they were made of steel bars.

He was blasted away several times during the incident, but he got up and fought back almost immediately.

Normally, when a normal person encounters a monster that doesn't even feel pain after being shot, their first thought should be to run away immediately. But Milo clearly saw that Rebecca's ruthlessness meant she was prepared to kill the monster right there.

"Who gave you the courage..."

The young female law enforcement officer's tricorn hat had long since been knocked off and was nowhere to be seen. Some of the messy strands of Rebecca's tied-up red hair fell across her face. She had bruises of varying degrees on her forehead, shoulders, and arms, and it was believed that her torso under the trench coat must have suffered even more severe impact injuries. However, the look in Rebecca's eyes remained unwavering, the kind of expression that only appears on the face of a wolf on the hunt.

"His head is really made of iron."

Milo rolled his eyes.

Then they spotted Rebecca's pistol lying in the bushes nearby.

Apart from the metal barrel and striking mechanism, the wooden components of this long-handled, straight-barreled musket are quite fragile. Even though it has been loaded a second time, the gun was hit hard by the monster earlier, and some parts have cracked. Milo can't be sure whether this shot will blow up the monster's head or his own five fingers.

Rebecca's previous approach was correct.

She didn't intend to capture the murderer alive. Knowing the danger level of the perpetrator beforehand, her judgment was that shooting the torso and the head was the most conservative and safest way to kill him.

But no one could have predicted that the strange man would withstand a musket bullet with his torso and then be completely unharmed.

……

Milo realized that this woman had no intention of escaping at all; she was determined to fight to the death with the other party here.

"Hey! Lead them to an open area!"

Milo yelled in Rebecca's direction.

He then bent down to pick up the pistol and began to check the extent of the damage. As he walked toward an open area in the valley, he casually pulled vines from the surrounding bushes.

"Fortunately, it's been well-maintained. With some reinforcement, it should be able to withstand one or two more shots... I guess." Milo found the key crack on the gun and quickly wrapped vines around it.

Not far away, Rebecca, who was in the midst of a bloody battle, heard Milo's shouts.

……

...

at the same time.

Law enforcement office.

It was 02:35 a.m.

The crime scene has been cleared.

Nero led a group of people back to the Enforcement Office with the body of the fallen Enforcer, accompanied by Diracho and other church members.

The team of law enforcement officers sent out earlier to track the scent of horse blood searched for more than two hours but found nothing.

This result made Inspector Nero's face turn terrifyingly dark.

He sat in the lobby of the law enforcement office, leaning on his cane, waiting for news.

However, all the search teams came up empty-handed after circling the wilderness. Some of the hunting dogs led by the officers got so hungry that they simply lay down and didn't move, so they had to return home disappointed.

At this point, the most direct and effective clues were completely cut off.

And they also failed to find the missing groom.

Nero was so embarrassed he could hardly save face.

Of course, the most crucial point is that, given the embarrassing situation that occurred during the handling of the case by the law enforcement system, the church members were also present.

Every time Nero met Dirac's gaze, he felt as if the other was mocking him.

"Whoever is in charge of this case, bring all the relevant documents to see me!"

……

After Nero finished shouting, the hall of the law enforcement office fell completely silent.

After about 10 seconds of silence, one of the enforcers leaned close to Nero and whispered something:
“Rebecca, this case is under the jurisdiction of Chief Rebecca.”

"What about her?"

"Uh... I don't know, they're probably still tracking them out there and haven't come back yet."

At this moment, Dillashau, who had been standing aside watching the show, spoke up:
“Inspector, nearly five hours have passed. I’m afraid that poor child has probably met with some misfortune. I’ll have my men go back to the church and inform them that the baptism ceremony can be cancelled, so that the senior bishops won’t have to wait any longer.”

"what ever."

Nero simply got up and walked towards the office area inside the law enforcement office.

He didn't want to continue making a fool of himself here.

Just then, one of the law enforcement officers suddenly remembered something and reported to Nero, "If I remember correctly, Commander Rebecca seemed to have set off with that city guard."

"The city guard? The one who caused trouble at the scene?" Nero raised an eyebrow.

“That’s him.” The law enforcement officer nodded.

Nero pondered for a moment, then walked directly into the office area and ordered, "Bring all the case files in."

……

About ten minutes later, Nero's tirade echoed through the office area:
"What kind of lousy business is this! Bringing a suspect to a crime scene?!"

"Everyone who's still alive, go and find Rebecca and this guy named Milo!!!"

……

...

Deep in the mountains.

Abandoned shelter.

"Go ahead and shoot, you bastard!"

Rebecca was putting all her strength into fighting the monster.

By this time, she had multiple cuts and bruises on her body and face, one of her two knives was missing, and one of her arms was covered in blood, with drops of blood dripping from her fingertips onto the ground.

As Milo had requested, she had lured the monster to a more open area.

But it was precisely because the terrain was open and there were no obstacles to cover that the difficulty of her fight with the monster increased instantly.

The sheer power of the opponent rendered all her fighting techniques useless; she was essentially treated as a punching bag, relentlessly beaten and tossed around.

Rebecca couldn't even remember how many times she had been picked up and thrown around.

When she saw Milo still standing in the distance, intently wrapping the gun barrel with vines, she almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Hey, hang in there a little longer! I don't want to blow my hand off with one shot."

Having worked in the alchemy workshop for several years, Milo had a keen sense of the stability of mechanical parts, and he would never fire a shot rashly without being 100% certain.

Rebecca was frantic. "Fuck you!"

boom! !

Before he could even finish his curse, he was thrown up and slammed into a pile of rotting wooden barrels.

Just as he was about to get up, the strange man's fist, as big as a sandbag, came crashing down on him!

Fortunately, Rebecca rolled over quickly enough, otherwise that punch would have broken at least a few ribs.

The strange man's fist slammed into the ground.

Rebecca then raised her legs and wrapped them around the monster's entire arm, intending to disable his shoulder joint with a joint lock technique.

But the strange man simply straightened his upper body and lifted Rebecca up completely.

Just as it slammed down with all its might, about to smash Rebecca's head into the ground, Rebecca arched her core and quickly adjusted her position to climb onto the monster's back, tightly gripping its neck with both hands.

The whole person was hanging on the strange man's back like a small schoolbag.

The strange man reached out and grabbed Rebecca's long, loose red hair, pulling her forward.

Just as Rebecca felt her scalp about to be ripped off in chunks, she heard Milo's voice:
"Lower your head."

A sense of crisis swept over them instantly.

She suddenly buried her head.

boom! !

A gunshot rang out in the valley.

……

The strange man's head, which was covered by a shroud, was blasted open by a bullet.

Its massive body crashed face down onto the floor.

Rebecca's beautiful hair was thus saved.

She sat on the back of the strange man, panting heavily, still shaken.

At that moment, Milo patted her on the shoulder: "Well done, sir."

After saying that, he floated past her and headed straight for the cabin where Daisy was.

Rebecca felt like she was about to lose half her life. Intense pain was surging through her body. At that moment, she wanted to kowtow to Milo, her savior, and even more so, she wanted to hang him up and beat him up.

After catching her breath for a while, she staggered to her feet and limped to catch up with Milo.

……

Inside the cabin, Milo carefully picked up the unconscious Daisy.

Seeing Rebecca covered in wounds behind him, he handed Daisy to her, then squatted down and rummaged through the grass for a while before finding the key he hadn't had time to use. He then inserted it into the keyhole of the execution lock and unlocked it.

Then he looked Rebecca up and down and said, "You look really bad."

At this moment, Rebecca's hair was disheveled, and the veil that had been covering her mouth and nose fell off during the fight, revealing her true appearance.

Rebecca's appearance didn't quite match Milo's expectations. How should I put it? It seemed that most of the adjectives used to describe women her age didn't quite fit her face; instead, "handsome" would be a better description.

Yes, that kind of handsome with a touch of effeminacy.

Of course, the most striking feature was the long, thin old scar on her cheek, which stretched from her cheek to her fair neck. It was probably a wound left by some kind of very sharp bladed weapon, adding a touch of wildness to her cold and handsome face.

However, Milo immediately realized the problem after saying "You look really bad".

Because he not only read anger in Rebecca's eyes, but also a very subtle... sadness.

Milo immediately understood that she must have taken his words as a mockery of the scar on her face.

But for a moment he couldn't come up with a single proper explanation.

"Uh, I meant hairstyle, um..."

Just as Milo was starting his brainstorming session, Rebecca had already carried Daisy out of the cabin.

……

Just as the duo were getting into a strange atmosphere, the hunting dog's restless barking suddenly broke out.

“Woof woof woof woof!!!!”

The two people who had just stepped out of the wooden house witnessed an extremely bizarre scene.

Right in front of them.

The monster's body, its skull pierced by a musket, was convulsing wildly. Every joint and muscle in its body seemed to have its own thoughts, twisting and shaking incessantly.

Milo and his companion, who witnessed this scene from afar, instantly felt a chill run down their spines.

Rebecca's first reaction was to hand Daisy, whom she was holding, to Milo, and then draw her knife to meet him.

Milo quickly pulled the crazy woman away:

"Don't do anything reckless. Take this child out of here. Your gun is useless; it can't be fired a second time."

Under Rebecca's slightly bewildered gaze, Milo quickly hung the hound's chain on a pillar of the cabin and locked it.

Then, with incredible speed, it rushed up to the back of the convulsing monster trying to stand up and pounced on it, knocking it down.

Rebecca thought that Milo had suddenly had a change of heart and was preparing to die a martyr.

However, they discovered that Milo had set the execution lock he had taken from his own wrist to a double-handed fixation mode, binding the monster's two wrists together from behind.

He then sprinted back like the wind, grabbed Rebecca, and raced towards the mouth of the valley.

"What the hell are you standing there for, running away?!"

……

In the valley, the convulsing, resurrected monster struggled and roared, emitting eerie cries that sent chills down one's spine.

It quickly noticed a poor hound chained up in the direction of the cabin, and struggled over, completely unaware that Milo and Rebecca had already left the valley.

……

...

05:33 am.

All the law enforcement officers in the office stayed up all night.

"The suspect, Milo, has not been found yet?"

"How exactly did he convince Chief Rebecca to take him out?"

"Oh no, how much time has passed? All the search personnel have returned... Could Rebecca have met with some mishap?"

"I heard the inspector has listed him as a first-level suspect? To be honest, I don't really understand what's going on. When he was brought in this morning, I thought he was a witness."

All the law enforcement officers were gathered in the office area. It wasn't that they didn't want to leave work, but Nero was still in his office, and a large group of people were still looking for Milo and Rebecca outside. They figured that no one would get any sleep until they found them.

Today was already a bad day; we lost Daisy, two law enforcement officers died, and now we've lost a chief of staff. If the newspapers find out and spread this news, the entire law enforcement agency will probably suffer for the next six months.

In the common office area, everyone was at a loss, and Nero's cursing could be heard from the back office from time to time.

The entire law enforcement office was in complete chaos.

……

Just then, a dirty figure appeared next to the open office door.

"Someone come and lend a hand, these two women are way too heavy."

This person was none other than Milo, who was holding Daisy in his left arm and supporting Rebecca with his right.
