Kieran walked forward cautiously, closing the distance between them. Thud, thud.
When both of them were less than 10 meters away from each other, the man's face, which had been hiding behind the electric pole, was revealed to Kieran as he tilted his head to the side.
What kind of face was that?
It did not have any facial features.
There was only a piece of skin covering it.
Wuuu!
A low howl came from under the skin, causing the entire skin to ripple like water.
Under Kieran's gaze, the man's entire body started to distort like a wave.
Kieran's eyes couldn't help but be captivated by the twisted scene. It was as if there were venomous snakes dancing in front of his eyes.
The red tongues of the snakes flicked in and out.
Venomous Viper's cold and gloomy gaze was fixed on Kieran's exposed skin.
Then, the snakes jumped up and tried to drown Kieran.
However, at the next moment, everything disappeared.
[Illusion: You have fallen into an illusion created by your opponent. Your Spirit has passed a test, your Intuition has passed a test, the illusion is unable to cause any damage to you …]
Illusion!
The words that appeared in his vision told Kieran what he had just experienced.
Facing the 'faceless man' who was lunging at him with a dagger, Kieran knew what he had to do.
Fuuu!
Kieran raised his leg and kicked the man's dagger away. His second kick landed on the man's chest, the burst of fire engulfing the man in an instant.
The fire burned fiercely.
It was as if the man had been doused with gasoline and ignited. In a blink of an eye, he had turned into a giant torch.
Kieran frowned and checked his battle log.
[Fiery Kick: Inflicts 100 Damage to Target HP (50 Hand-to-Hand Combat (Musou) x2), Target is an Evil Earth Spirit, Triple Damage Inflicted, 300 True Damage Inflicted, Target dies …]
"Evil Earth Spirit?!"
Kieran muttered the monster's name.
Then, he recalled the kick that landed on the other party's chest. It didn't feel like he had kicked a person's body, nor did it feel like a formless ghost.
Instead, it was even harder, like a brick.
It had a body, and its defense was pretty good. However, it was extremely afraid of fire!
Kieran quickly summarized the characteristics of the Evil Earth Spirit.
Even now, Kieran didn't know what the Evil Earth Spirit was, but that didn't stop him from understanding how to kill it more effectively.
"2567, what happened?"
Schmidt, who was not far away, noticed the situation and quickly ran over. As soon as he came to Kieran's side, he took out his gun and pointed it at the unnatural burning object.
It seemed like the chief officer had worked with Nikorei for quite a long time, so he had a general understanding of unusual and special situations.
At least, he could clearly tell that the person in front of him who could burn without gasoline or any other accelerant was definitely not a normal person.
"I was suddenly attacked!"
"As for why? I don't know either! "
"But one thing is for sure. That bastard is dead!"
Kieran said as he walked over to the Evil Earth Spirit, which had stopped burning.
After the intense burning, all that was left was a handful of sand. The Evil Earth Spirit didn't leave anything behind.
"What the hell is this?"
Schmidt moved closer to Kieran and looked at the handful of sand.
If he had only had a general idea before, now he was sure of it.
This thing was not something he usually dealt with.
After all, if it had been a human, even if it had been burning, it wouldn't have been able to burn everything.
"Evil Earth Spirit!"
Kieran gave him a name.
Schmidt wanted to ask about it out of instinct.
But before Schmidt could say anything, the phone in his pocket rang.
He made an apologetic gesture to Kieran, took two steps aside, and answered the call.
"WHAT?!"
Schmidt roared as soon as he picked up the phone.
Kieran could see it clearly. Schmidt's face turned angry as he roared.
A few seconds later, he hung up the phone and walked back to Kieran.
"The Heart Taker has just died!"
He was killed right in the station under the watchful eyes of a bunch of people! "
Schmidt said with an ugly expression.
"Killed?"
Kieran noticed the word.
Although they were both dead. If the Heart Taker was killed, it meant that the killer was around.
"What about the killer?"
Kieran asked.
"Nothing!
None of the people at the scene saw the killer!
"Even my two most capable subordinates couldn't find anything. My guess is … I need your help!"
Schmidt said in a heavy tone.
A killer without a shadow and no form. Just the thought of it made Schmidt's scalp numb.
No one knew it better than Schmidt. It was terrifying to face such a killer.
This was because Schmidt had met such a person before.
It was also that time that he got to know Nikorei.
If he had a choice though, he would rather keep his normal life than come into contact with this unbelievable world.
"Can I say no?"
Kieran shrugged helplessly as he walked towards the police cruiser.
In his mind, he was still thinking about the appearance of the Evil Earth Spirit.
The Evil Earth Spirit was obviously there to kill him.
That was enough to prove that the Evil Earth Spirit was not from the Night Demon Society.
The Night Demon Society needed to know more about Alcatraz from him, so they would not kill him the moment they met.
Although it was possible that the Hatch Heresy Society was behind this, they had a certain level of understanding of Kieran. Even if they wanted to kill him, they would not have sent out just one Evil Earth Spirit. They would have made other arrangements.
Therefore, it was not the Hatch Heresy Society either.
It was not the Night Demon Society or the Hatch Heresy Society.
"Is there someone or some faction that sees me as a thorn in their side?"
Kieran thought as he got into the police cruiser.
Soon, however, Kieran stopped thinking about it.
He brought a young man over to the police cruiser, followed closely by an elderly couple.
It was Louver.
Without further questioning, Kieran immediately recognized the man's identity.
"Don't worry. I swear on my badge that I will make sure that Louver receives the most fair treatment!"
In fact, if you want, you can come with us! "
Schmidt told Louver's parents in a serious tone.
The father of the elderly couple went to get the car without a word, while the mother hugged her son and watched Louver get into the back seat of the police cruiser.
Kieran opened his backpack to give Louver more space.
"Thank... Thank you!"
Louver said.
His words were incoherent and his voice was hoarse. It was obvious that he was not used to speaking.
The man didn't even dare to look Kieran in the eye when he spoke.
After he got into the car, he lowered his head and curled up in a corner, trying his best to distance himself from Kieran.
He was afraid of strangers and unfamiliar places.
When Kieran thought about how Louver had been kidnapped for ten years, he did not find it strange.
Kieran did not want to agitate Louver further, so he did not say anything. He sized up Louver's hands. His palms were wide and thick, and his fingers were long and thin. There was a thick layer of calluses on his hands.
Unconsciously, Kieran pictured Muntle being stabbed in the heart.
"He's a good knife user!"
Kieran commented.
The next moment, Louver confirmed Kieran's comment.
