Schmidt was stunned when he saw Louver talking to Kieran in a low voice. He then walked towards them. ... ...
Before he could get close, though, Louver curled up behind Kieran.
"Am I that annoying?"
Schmidt stopped in his tracks and said in astonishment.
"It's not that you're annoying.
It's that you're scary! "
Kieran shook his head, correcting Schmidt's mistake. He turned around and looked at Louver, who was mumbling to himself again. Kieran shrugged helplessly.
"Louver's condition is worse than we thought. That psychiatrist you're looking for better come soon!
Also, in the meantime, try to dismiss as many people as you can! "
Kieran continued.
"What do you mean?"
Schmidt frowned in confusion.
"The Heart Taker and Muntle know each other!
To be more precise, they belong to the same organization, the Drifter Society!
Don't ask me what kind of organization the Drifter Society is. I've only just heard about it from Louver.
But one thing is for sure. There are people like me and Nikorei in the organization.
"So, the results of your investigation are just what the Heart Taker wants people to know on the surface. You know nothing about his identity in the dark!"
Kieran quickly repeated what Louver had told him.
The situation before him had definitely exceeded Kieran's expectations.
He had never thought that the Heart Taker and the kidnapper, Muntle, would belong to the same organization.
The former was in charge of finding "materials".
The latter was in charge of finding "potential" youths.
The "materials" included, but were not limited to, the hearts that had been stabbed.
The "potential" youths were people like Louver.
Kieran had no way of knowing the specifics of the situation due to Louver's limited information.
Still, there was one thing Kieran was sure of: Muntle would not let this go easily.
An unavoidable battle was about to break out.
Huuu!
Kieran took a deep breath and looked up at Schmidt.
"You mean …"
Looking at Kieran's solemn gaze, Schmidt was shocked. He thought of some terrifying conjectures.
"Just as you guessed!"
"They won't stop so easily!"
"Since they were able to kill the Heart Taker in the police station, they should be able to silence him. If that's the case, they wouldn't mind killing Rock again! "
Kieran said with certainty.
How did the Heart Taker die?
If he was killed by the formless souls, what would he do after receiving the news that the gunman had failed to kill Rock?
Another formless wandering soul was sent out.
Even. An even more powerful monster.
For example, the Evil Earth Spirit.
If Kieran hadn't been able to guess who had attacked him before, he now had a clear idea: the Drifter Society.
Moreover, there was one thing that was certain.
The other party knew that he was Nikorei's assistant.
That was why they sent the Evil Earth Evil Spirit, which was even more difficult to deal with than the formless wandering souls, to deal with him.
"We already know who Nikorei is. Yet, you still attacked me … "
Kieran muttered to himself.
Nikorei claimed to be the most powerful shaman in the world.
Kieran did not comment on that.
However, Kieran had to admit that Nikorei was powerful.
Just the collection of books in the study was enough to prove this point.
Knowledge was power!
This was undeniable for a special group of people.
Provoking a powerful person for no reason was not a wise move.
Unless they had ulterior motives.
With that thought in mind, Kieran instinctively wanted to contact Nikorei.
However, he suddenly realized that he did not have Nikorei's contact details.
Even though he was temporarily staying at her house.
"Schmidt, do you have Nikorei's contact details?"
Kieran muttered in his heart as he looked at Schmidt, who was on the phone.
Schmidt looked at Kieran with a strange gaze.
"Are you sure you are Nikorei's assistant?
If you hadn't shown up at Nikorei's house and displayed extraordinary abilities, I would have suspected you! I suspect you to be a liar! "
Schmidt covered the receiver and stared at Kieran. Then he wrote down a phone number with his hand.
"I just became Nikorei's assistant two days ago!
"Moreover, on the second day after I was confirmed as her assistant, she went on a long journey!"
Kieran shrugged helplessly and took the note. He picked up the phone beside him and dialed the number written on the note.
After two beeps, the call was connected.
"Schmidt, what happened?"
Nikorei's voice came from the other side of the phone.
It seemed like Nikorei was familiar with the station's number.
"It's not Schmidt. It's me, 2567!
"Something happened …"
Kieran explained his identity and told Schmidt everything that had happened after Nikorei had left.
"The Drifter Society?"
Even through the phone, Kieran could hear the doubts in Nikorei's voice.
It seemed like she did not know about the Drifter Society either.
Because of that. There were only two possibilities.
First, the Drifter Society was very secretive.
Second, the Drifter Society was not well-known.
Kieran was leaning towards the second possibility.
It was not because he had more evidence. It was just a guess based on the difficulty of the second dungeon.
After that, Nikorei confirmed Kieran's guess.
"I see them!
They are heading towards the police station. They will be there in 20 minutes. I suggest you return to 1st Black Street.
Although I'm not here, I left some protective measures behind. They should be enough to deal with a third-rate faction! "
Nikorei said after a few seconds of silence.
Her words were filled with confidence.
Kieran's attention was on the word "see."
Kieran was not sure where Nikorei was, but he was sure she was not in the city.
In other words, Nikorei was at least a city away. She had clearly seen everything that had happened there, and she had been able to lock onto a target based on a name alone.
Even though the Drifter Society was only a third-rate faction according to Nikorei, that kind of power …
For the first time, Kieran believed that Nikorei was the most powerful shaman in the city.
"Bastards!
You only care about your own reputation! You don't care about the lives of others! "
Just as Kieran was about to agree to Nikorei's request to return to 1st Black Street, he was distracted by Schmidt's curses.
"What's wrong?"
Kieran asked.
"Those bastards are not willing to evacuate the officers!
"Moreover, I think that these are all nonsense!"
I'll stab my gun into their f * cking eyes! I'll show them what nonsense is! "
Schmidt said in a heavy tone. His hot-tempered temper caused him to curse again.
"Schmidt, 2567! You guys better hurry up!"
We don't have much time! "
Nikorei's voice came from the other side of the phone.
"I know! I know!
"Nikorei, can you give me more help?"
Can you protect this place with your power? "
Schmidt asked Nikorei in a hopeful tone.
"I'm the most powerful shaman on the West Coast!
But that doesn't mean I'm omnipotent! "
Nikorei's answer made Schmidt smack his fist on the desk. He looked at the busy colleagues around him and clenched his teeth.
Suddenly, a thought popped up in his mind.
He looked at the fire alarm button on the wall.
Schmidt knew very well that if he were to ring the alarm, those who had long hated him would definitely use his' mental state 'as an excuse to kick him out of the police force that he loved the most.
But if he did not do that …
Schmidt took a deep breath as he looked at his colleagues, who did not seem to know that they were in danger.
"I became a police officer in order to protect more people from malicious harm!"
Even if I have to take off my uniform, if I can protect more people, it's worth it! "
The belief that Schmidt had never forgotten from the start to the end made his hesitation disappear quickly.
He strode towards the fire alarm button.
However, just as Schmidt was about to raise his hand, Kieran grabbed it.
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing!
I've thought about the consequences too! "
Schmidt said with a calm expression.
"You know what you're doing, and I know what I'm doing!
You've thought about the consequences, but please wait a little longer!
It's just a third-rate force! "
Kieran picked up his backpack and walked out.
