Ke-style law enforcement officers

Chapter 340 The Ripper
……

Milo wandered around the south of the city to enforce the law.

The main purpose was to change into a clean trench coat that didn't smell of a corpse.

Then, he slipped out again.

He first met with the Scarlet Witch at the abandoned monastery in the north of the city and briefly explained some things.

Including what he gained last night when he revisited fragments of Gorgie's memory.

"Have you found Idhaila's whereabouts?"

That was a bizarre, twisted Outer God that the Scarlet Witch had once shown to Milo. She was like a giant fleshy plant, connected by countless winding tentacles, and in the flower-shaped tissue blooming at the top stood the shadow of a woman radiating pure white holy light.

That was the way the Scarlet Witch had given Milo to get rid of the hounds.

If Milo can find Idhra, the lost goddess, and provide her information to some ancient being, such as her former lover, he can exchange it for a way to break the Hound's Curse.

In fact, Milo's vision has improved considerably in the past six months.

The main method was to constantly request replicas of ancient texts from investigator C at Miskatonic University and read them aloud.

As for looting...

After the Hunter incident ended, the shadowy figures faded from sight, and Monquia vanished without a trace. Milo never saw another Spirit Visionist again.

Without prey, how can you hunt?

So in the end, we still have to rely on the wisdom of our predecessors—the evil scriptures.

This seems to confirm the widely circulated saying: knowledge is power.

"No, Glagki is a coward. It never even saw the great cosmic war properly; all the footage is too fragmented."

Milo shook his head: "I'm a little curious, if I confirm that Idhaila is dead, will this information still be of any value?"

"Then you might need to find out who killed her."

The Scarlet Witch responded calmly:

"However, you are probably overthinking it. Outer Gods are immortal in the narrow sense, and for them, death is not even a concept. This is a concept that only humans have."

"understood."

Milo nodded.

The Scarlet Witch changed the subject: "Recently, some sinister things have been stirring up trouble again. I suggest you keep a close eye on that kitten. If it travels between the dream world and the real world too frequently, something will eventually try to do something to this place through the gaps in those spaces."

"I will tell Rebecca to keep an eye on Marshall."

Milo had already figured out Marshall's existence.

The cat that suddenly appeared was confirmed by the Scarlet Witch to be a creature from the Dream Realm.

She jumped out to protect Rebecca, devouring two zombies in the hospital.

The ability to travel between two different worlds is an innate ability of their race, much like Grasso's invisibility.

However, the cracks that Marshall tore open would attract the attention of other beings in the dream world.

Although Milo doesn't know much about the so-called Dreamland yet, neither the evil tomes nor the Scarlet Witch mention anything about the Dreamland.

All Milo knew was that cats were an incredibly awesome race in that world.

They are organized, have armies, have leaders, and are found throughout the Dreamland. They can even tear apart certain mythical creatures with their claws. Provoking these cats in certain special places will result in a terrible death, almost like a curse. Legend has it that such a place is called Usa.

In any case, the main trigger for the sudden awakening of so many strange religious descendants in Nanwei City six months ago was the arrival of Marshall.

It tore apart the barrier between the two worlds.

This allowed some people in the dream world to finally glimpse the real world hidden deep within the chaos.

And so there came to be so many so-called apostles of misfortune, as the church called them, who were also the guys on the hunter organization's list.

But Milo always felt that it was just a coincidence. The calamity prophesied by the Church of Monsis was probably something else entirely, since this matter had nothing to do with the Blood Healing Technique.

It all started simply because a cat, out of love for its owner, made a mistake.

But Marshall can't be entirely blamed, because for it, traversing the dream world was just a simple power-gathering leap, as easy as a cat jumping over a roadside railing in the real world.

……

Hey ~
What else can I say?

Who could bear to blame a cute cat, right?

……

"One more thing."

The Scarlet Witch suddenly mentioned:
"Have you heard about what happened with the nobles at Cainhurst Castle?"

"What are those old freaks up to now?" Milo shook his head.

Cainhurst Castle, located in the western part of the country, is the best-preserved ancient castle in historical records and the only one with a bloodline of heirs.

The nobles living in that castle held the highest rank of duke. Of course, they weren't a group of creatures interested in ZZ.

They preferred the night and blood.

Milo calls them "old-fashioned freaks" because these guys aren't human, but rather vampires that have been overused in traditional horror literature.

They have a more common nickname: vampires.

In Milo's hometown, back in those days, vampires were a genre that had already been phased out by horror films and television shows.

……

As is well known, Milo has been dealing with cases like the Hunter incident for the past six months, and he was quite surprised when he first came into contact with the vampires.

Because these guys are exactly the same as the characters in another world.

They fear sunlight, holy water, and silver; they cannot see their own reflection in a mirror; they have fangs; and the entire tribe is very good-looking.

The only difference is that the history of vampires in this world is not very long.

They only recently evolved into vampires; historically, they were originally human.

When Milo first caught a Cainhurst who was wandering around Nanwei City, he sent him directly to the Scarlet Witch and asked if this thing could be used as Holy Communion.

The answer was no.

Because vampires are essentially unrelated to ancient beings with divinity, they are a much younger, newly emerging race than humans. They are not even qualified to be a side dish, let alone a part of communion.

……

"What bad things did those vampires do?"

Milo raised an eyebrow.

He was quite certain that after he had given them a good beating, the vampire descendants had become unusually obedient. They would even buy human blood from certain private hospitals through legitimate channels at very high prices as their sustenance, a rule set by Milo for them.

Although vampires do possess strength and speed beyond that of ordinary humans, their power is insignificant compared to Milo's.

After all, they were only drinking human blood, while Milo was drinking the blood of the gods after the Holy Communion sacrifice; the two were simply incomparable.

"It wasn't the vampires who did anything wrong, but someone tattooed a male genital image on the face of Duke Cainhurst's daughter, and she only noticed it a week later," the Scarlet Witch said calmly.

"Oh... a whole week?" Milo squinted. "Is it because vampires can't see their own reflection in the mirror? Who did this stupid thing?"

However, it's not hard to guess that although Nanwei City is known for its fierce and unruly people, there are ultimately not many who would treat a vampire heiress like a dog.

Moreover, only that guy who's been making headlines lately could do something as despicable as getting a tattoo on someone's face, especially one with genitals.

A mysterious man who calls himself "The Ripper".

This is a freak that only emerged two months ago.

Nanwei City has no shortage of freaks and villains, but a freak with such bizarre behavior as him is relatively rare.

The Ripper isn't as bloody as his nickname suggests; at least so far, he hasn't actually committed any murders. This is the main reason he's been able to roam around Nanwei City for over two months. Otherwise, Milo would have dealt with him long ago.

The so-called code name "The Ripper" was also given to him by the newspaper, which in some ways formed a magical coincidence with another world that Milo was familiar with.

Although the Ripper didn't have many murders on his hands, some of the things he did were extremely hateful.

He doesn't kill people, but he will report prostitutes who disrupt market rules, and even tie up prostitutes with sexually transmitted diseases and send them to medical institutions.

He doesn't rob, but he always shows up on the nobles' smuggling ships at opportune moments to cause some trouble.

Milo initially just saw this guy as a clown trying to get attention and didn't take him too seriously.

However, it must be acknowledged that what the Ripper was doing was gradually moving from small pranks to crimes.

He also seems to be in a process of learning and growing.

……

If he dares to provoke even vampires, then Milo has to re-evaluate this guy.

After all, as the daughter of a vampire duke, she was someone who could easily crush an adult human male, so Milo was very curious about how that penis had been pierced onto her face.

It's important to know that getting a tattoo is a very long process.

...

"If that female vampire goes mad and hurts people because of this, then that's a different story."

Milo raised his hand and rubbed the temples on both sides of his head.

That's his life. This city is never quiet. Just when one case is solved, a new problem pops up, and the worst part is that these are problems that only Milo can handle.

"I'm just giving you a heads-up. The vampires might retaliate in secret, and you certainly don't want any major chaos in the city," the Scarlet Witch added casually.

"Understood~Understood~I'll keep an eye on those vampires." Milo stretched and then asked:
"Oh, by the way, has anything come of the matter I asked you to inquire about? That King in Yellow."

"Give up. No one has ever been able to find its trace unless Hastur reveals itself."

The Scarlet Witch shook her head.
