Ke-style law enforcement officers

Chapter 627 Dog
Her parents were murdered, and she herself had her eyes gouged out in the law enforcement office.

Too many injustices have happened to her.

The world was too cruel to her, but she silently endured it all while remaining so gentle.

Perhaps only those with unique qualities are chosen by the discerning eye.

...

Milo told Daisy everything he had been thinking about. This included the mysterious man and the yellow mark he left behind, the Keim of Byakki, the hallucination of Yan's brutal murder, and the blood moon image from the nightmare that troubled child Marty saw.

Daisy, however, simply tilted her head slightly, revealing an expectant expression, as if Milo had left something unsaid.

Seeing Daisy showing this rarely seen side of herself, Milo narrowed his eyes slightly and said:
"So you've seen it all, right? While it's your natural talent, it's a bit... unsuitable for children at your age."

“I didn’t see it. The scene in the abyss is impossible to see clearly even if I wanted to.” Daisy shook her head.

“And what about the world of the conscious?” Milo moved some of the books piled up in front of him to make room and sat down in front of Daisy.

The cool moonlight streamed through the glass of the Starry Clock Tower, illuminating the entire floor. In this hue and atmosphere, lighting candles would be superfluous and disturb the tranquility.

“Daisy is a polite child.” She smiled sweetly and said, “You must protect Emma.”

Milo didn't think too deeply about whether Daisy's words had any special meaning. Most of the time, he just treated Daisy as a child, and in fact, Daisy was also trying her best to play the role of a child in front of him.

Milo looked at the bandage wrapped around Daisy's eyes and asked her:

"When the temple tried to take you away, you already knew all about what was to come, didn't you?"

“I couldn’t see it clearly at the time, it only became clear after we came back from the temple,” Daisy confessed honestly. “Brother, I really didn’t see who sent Emma into the abyss.”

"No, no, no, that's not what I meant." Milo waved his hands repeatedly, clearly Daisy had misunderstood him. He corrected her, "I mean, the path to the Dreamland is now blocked... Will you regret your decision? Or do you think our choice was right?"

"Actually, when I first gained the Eye of Thinking's approval, I also thought I could become that key person. Do you understand what I mean, brother? To become the person who can turn things around and salvage some things, because I can foresee things in advance. But... but in reality, the universe's operating order is not like that. Just as the deceased Joan Byrne said, in most cases, we are neither creators nor modifiers, but merely witnesses to tragedy. Even if I can see things that others cannot see, even if I know more, only after experiencing enough helplessness can I understand that the Eye of Thinking's special power is not a blessing, but a curse."

Daisy sat in the moonlight, hugging her knees, and spoke these words in a relatively calm tone.

“When the Knights Templar descended, I could only be sure of one thing: that in the far future, you, brother, would not feel any regret. So I thought I should become as brave as you.”

“The absence of remorse could also mean that all human emotions have been severed and erased,” Milo shrugged, stating a rather unpleasant possibility.

Rather than calling it a possibility, it's more accurate to say that Milo has already discovered some signs.

Think back to that day when I listened to prayers by the fire...

...

Daisy simply shook her head and uttered a statement that made no sense yet was remarkably nonchalant:

"It's okay."

This doesn't sound like something the Eye of Thinking would say; it sounds more like something someone like Enid would say.

“So, what about what I mentioned earlier?” Milo gestured with his fingers, indicating to Daisy to talk about the strange phenomena he had mentioned at the beginning.

"Hmm..." She gently adjusted her skirt to cover her feet and said:

"The mysterious man with the yellow seal comes from the Aldebaran star cluster, a distant star system. Its servants used the KEIM domain to send it here. As for this person, he will not be our enemy in the present or in the near future, so you can rest assured about that, brother. However, there are some things I am not sure about yet. I believe that he himself is currently in a state of confusion and needs time to find his former self."

"The fight between Byakki and Mi Go is simple; they are inherently hostile races."

"As for the hallucinations my brother saw and Marty's nightmares..."

...

Daisy paused for a long time after saying this.

Milo didn't rush to ask any more questions. He simply sat down quietly beside Daisy until she was ready.

But in the end, Daisy simply put her finger to her lips as a shushing gesture.

This move really stumped Milo.

Does it mean to keep quiet?
But why should we be quiet? Milo thought for a moment, then gestured with his hands shrugs in a "???" manner.

Daisy, on the other hand, slowly pointed her finger, which was held up to her lips, towards a corner of the attic.

Following Daisy's gaze, Milo suddenly frowned.

How could I not have been alerted at all?
Because at this moment, some eerie smoke was slowly billowing in the dark corner of the attic, which was not covered by moonlight, and behind the smoke, one could vaguely see some limb structures that were constantly changing shape, as well as eyes that craved flesh and blood.

Those bloodthirsty eyes were all too familiar to Milo; they were incredibly familiar.

"It's a dog."

Milo stood up and pulled a crowbar from his waist. The next second, the entire crowbar shone with a molten lava-like heat, and waves of heat rolled through the surrounding air.

However, just as Milo stood up, he felt someone tug at his trench coat. It was Daisy who had pinched the corner of his trench coat.

She said:

"They're just looking, it's fine."

However, Milo remained vigilant, keeping his eyes fixed on the plume of smoke in the corner until the outline of the Tindaros Hound completely disappeared from his sight.

He had once witnessed firsthand the fallen projection of the Outer God being dragged into the Angular Space by a pack of dogs, torn apart and chewed up. The shock he felt was profound, so even now, as an Outer God of the Shadow level, he dared not underestimate the dogs.

Back under the moonlight.

This time, Daisy didn't need to explain anything; rather, Milo was afraid she would say the wrong thing.

The reason is simple: the Tindarros Hounds only target those who transgress the order of time, and if Daisy answers the questions Milo just asked truthfully, she will become the hounds' target.

"It's been a long time since I've run into these guys."

Milo set the cooled-down crowbar aside.

Logically speaking, he should still be on Tindaros's "list," but the hounds have just forgotten about him for the time being.

If the Scarlet Witch's words are true, once the time is up and the corrupted incarnation of Sothos has been completely digested, the hounds will realize what's happening and come to visit again.

However, Milo hadn't noticed the hound's gaze.

This shows that the dogs weren't after him at all; their real target was Daisy.

So the current situation is that Daisy must know some truths that transcend time, but she cannot say them outright.

“Actually, I think I should be able to handle those dogs,” Milo said to Daisy.

“But my brother has a lot of things to do, and he can’t stay by Daisy’s side all the time,” Daisy said, shaking her head.

“Well—” Milo wanted to say something more, but he had to admit that Daisy was right.

“But you can do it this way.” Daisy suddenly reached out her little hand to Milo: “Brother knows what my deepest fears look like, so…”

She wanted to actively accept Milo's dream.

In a dream-inducing state, Milo can capture the feelings and emotions of the person being dream-inducing in certain special situations with relatively clear and delicate details, and if he is lucky, he may even obtain some fragmented information.

but……

Milo only used dream manipulation on Daisy once, when she was severely injured by Imnar. For the person being dream-manipulated, it's akin to reliving their most feared experience.

Just like Milo suddenly encountering that seaside town when facing Grazie.

...

Looking at Daisy's hand hovering in mid-air, Milo hesitated.

Daisy, on the contrary, said in a very relaxed tone, "Oh—you dislike me?"
