Ke-style law enforcement officers

Chapter 689 The Original Guidance

Upon arriving in the World of Awakening, the group didn't wander around aimlessly, nor did they have the mind to take another look at Nanwei City. After being ravaged by the Old Ones for several years, there was nothing or no one left to cherish in this world. The few familiar faces who remained as survivors had all "unhesitatingly" entered the World of Tombstones to provide guidance to Milo within.

Yes, actually, it was Emma who guided them to do that.

“You’re not as good at fighting as you used to be, are you?” Old Theon asked Milo.

“Well, there’s still you, Old Deng, the best fighter in town.” Milo shrugged. “Right now, I probably can’t even beat a rotting stray dog ​​on the roadside.”

"Speaking of which, I quite liked that kid. It's a shame he's dead," old Theon remarked.

The "kid" he was referring to was the originator of the phrase "Old Deng is the best fighter".

“The Night Demon Power of the unorthodox trioctahedron possesses a very strong regenerative ability,” Emma reminded her.

“But now you are the Night Demon, aren’t you?” Milo asked.

“Yan was once like that too,” Emma said. “In the dream of the tombstone, Yan was burned to ashes, but in the waking world…”

Emma didn't continue speaking the second half of her sentence.

In the timeline of the conscious world, several years have passed since the Blood Moon descended. Is it really possible to find Yan's remains? Even if they are found, those who resented the Night Demon in the old era may have all died. What would be the source of the rotting remains to regenerate?
Seeing that Milo seemed somewhat silent, Emma quickly changed the subject:

"By the way, that red-haired woman from your law enforcement office, I originally planned to take her back to the Aldebaran star cluster, but she insisted on staying in the Tombstone Dream."

“That’s how she is.” Milo wasn’t surprised by this.

“And that child from the church, when I found her… she was already dying.” Emma’s tone was very complicated.

She stopped there and didn't continue.

Emma felt that if she kept nagging like this, Milo might change his mind and play the self-destruct game with the gods.

...

……

The dream of tombstones is a very strange phenomenon.

It is an incomplete world.

Despite the two wars having completely different outcomes, the participants in the wars were actually unique from beginning to end.

What does this mean? There has only ever been one Blood Moon, as have the Old Ones and the gods.

In these two superimposed worlds, only Milo is divided into multiple parts. The dream created by Azati and his consciousness together endowed Milo with this ability, which indirectly provides everyone with a second possibility.

The most regrettable thing is that even with two chances, many people still don't survive.

...

“I have to give you a heads-up. You said it yourself, nowadays any fire-breathing dog on the street could take your life. So once you enter the Tombstone World, you should know that that small world is crammed with all the Old Gods of the Dreamlands. How are you going to avoid their gaze? And if you can’t avoid them, how are you going to escape their pursuit?” Old Theon asked leisurely, puffing on his cigarette.

“I have no intention of having a rematch…” Milo shrugged.

In the dream of the tombstone, the moment he died was the strongest form Milo had ever been in. He even controlled a part of the order from Azadi, but even so, he still had no chance of survival when facing a huge line of gods.

“What you can’t get on the battlefield, you can hardly get at the negotiating table either, you know what I mean,” old Theon said.

“Of course.” Milo nodded, but his pace did not slow down at all as he walked straight toward the so-called “tombstone.”

Entering the tombstone dream is very simple: just place your palm on it, and the dream begins. It's not merely a conscious "entry," but also involves physical transmission.

...

Theon was unaware of Milo's full plan.

Strictly speaking, Milo in the preceding time periods was also unaware of his overall plan.

Now Milo is just a slightly stronger mortal, and how to protect himself after entering the dangerous Tombstone Dream with this frail body is a very troublesome problem.

As the dark "tombstone" rippled, old Theon and Emma didn't stop Milo's actions, but they were both prepared for a fight, drawing their Nightmare's black mist and the legendary old Deng's sniper rifle. ...

"Look how anxious you all are."

As the dreamlike ripples blurred the three figures, Milo glanced back at them and gave the order:
"Once we go in, there's no need for a big fuss. In the memories of the gods, I am a person who is already dead, so it will take some time for them to find me. During this time, you two should each sit on the Byakki and take all the survivors out of this dream. Do you understand what I mean? Yes, that's right, don't worry about me."

With a flash of black light, the three figures and the Byakkis swarm circling behind them vanished completely.

……

Tombstone Dream.

They finally returned to the battlefield where the fiercest fighting had once taken place.

The bloody battle between the Old Ones, the Dream Gods, the Crimson Familiars, the Four Horsemen of Favor, and the Chaos Visionaries still seemed vivid in my mind. However, most of the flames had now been extinguished. If the stench of decay and burning in the air could be blocked out, the scene before me would be quite dreamlike, possessing a kind of Galid beauty.

...

The madness of the old days is no longer visible in the Tombstone Dream, nor is the afterglow of the divine light. All the dark inhabitants, such as the ghouls and the Deep Ones, have vanished, but their presence can still be smelled in the air.

On the rugged and desolate land, one can see the worshippers of the Blood Moon wandering aimlessly like living corpses. Perhaps because of the various bloody events that had occurred on this land, the desolate and eerie scene in front of one's eyes gave one a strange sense of peace.

...

Milo descended in a valley on the outskirts of Nanwei City.

This is the asylum for patients during the Great Plague, the place where Meggo later truly descended, and the location where Greed, one of the Four Horsemen, was crippled by Theon.

This place is quite an accident hotspot; all sorts of weird things have happened here.

As for old Theon and Emma, ​​they went to find people without stopping. After roughly understanding Milo's next plan, they dared not delay for a moment.

……

Theon's concerns were not unfounded.

It would be too easy for the gods to crush Miloko now; the difficulty lies in using their imagination to torment this weak ant.

But Milo wasn't worried at all.

Actually, someone had already provided guidance a long time ago, telling him how to deal with things here.

Those fragmented and incomplete messages only became complete and clear at this moment.

...

The crimson clouds in the sky gradually accelerated their movement, transforming from their initial bloated form into a boiling mass.

Some eyes from distant regions began to notice Milo's sudden visit.

Those gazes were filled with astonishment and horror.

...

However, Milo did not engage in any affectionate eye contact with them.

Before the storm was about to break, he went ahead and found a clearing in the valley to sit down.

Then he took out a worn-out notebook from his pocket, spread it out, and placed it on the ground.

There were no other combat preparations.

He began reciting the strange incantations in the little book to himself.

...

Soon, a floating object resembling a steel wool ball appeared out of thin air directly in front of Milo...
