Chief Teddy was horrified when he saw the gas tank fly out.
This wasn't the abyss or the corridor anymore, this was a real street.
If it exploded …
With that thought in mind, Chief Teddy opened his mouth, wanting to stop the explosion.
"Wait … Huh?!"
However, the moment the words escaped his mouth, Chief Teddy realized the street before him was unscathed from the explosion.
It was as strange as the abyss and the corridor!
Chief Teddy instantly reacted to the situation and felt chills running down his spine.
He knew if he had walked out just like that, he would have died a horrible death.
Thank goodness! Thank goodness!
Chief Teddy felt lucky in his heart, but when he saw Kieran pick up another gas tank, he couldn't help but ask, "Royan, how do you know it's fake?"
Kieran looked at Teddy in astonishment before he said, "If this is really the street outside the restaurant, there should be police cruisers around."
Kieran pointed at the body under his feet as he spoke.
Chief Teddy instantly reacted to the situation.
He had fired multiple shots just now, if they really returned to the real street, it wouldn't have been so quiet.
Then, the chief officer felt a little embarrassed.
He clearly saw the astonishment in Kieran's eyes.
He knew what it meant.
It should have been easy for him to notice, yet he didn't. He shouldn't have, even if it was his first time experiencing such a strange incident.
Huu, Huu!
Chief Teddy realized something was wrong with him, so he quickly walked aside and adjusted his breathing.
Four to five deep breaths later, he walked to the trolley, picked up the gas tank, and threw it out with Kieran.
Facing the unknown and fear, hiding was never the way to go.
Facing it head-on was the best choice.
If he could blow it up?
That would be even better.
KABOOM!
A series of explosions went off.
The street before him crumbled completely.
A shopping mall appeared in front of him!
It was the shopping mall where Lin MiaoMiao went missing!
Chief Teddy quickly confirmed it, but to his horror, the restaurant they were in was also turning into a part of the shopping mall.
"W-What's going on?"
Chief Teddy asked.
"A cornered beast will do something desperate."
Kieran said calmly and dragged Starbeck over. He took the rope that was used to hold the gas tank on the cart and tied Starbeck on his back.
"Hold on tight."
Kieran tilted his head slightly and said softly.
"Alright."
Crawling on Kieran's back, Starbeck rested his chin on Kieran's shoulder and answered softly.
Teddy looked at Kieran's actions and seemed to have guessed something. He helped Amy up without a second thought.
Why not?
The skinny Teddy had a lot of similar experience.
Supporting Amy was the limit of what he could do.
If he could carry it …
Amy would land on her feet and drag instead of carrying her.
Height is innate!
It was determined by the genes!
What could he do?
He was also in despair!
What was even worse was —
Ugh!
The moment Teddy helped Amy up, the drunkard lowered her head and vomited. Due to the height difference between them, the vomit landed on Teddy's face, or more precisely, on his head.
The stench of the drunkard almost knocked him out.
Kieran carried Starbeck on his back and quietly distanced himself from the drunkard.
Just when Teddy was hesitating whether to throw the drunkard on the ground or not, he suddenly realized the gangsters that he shot down earlier were crawling up one after another.
The dead came back to life?!
Teddy was stunned, he gripped the kitchen knife in his hand tightly and looked at the resurrected dead nervously.
Death was scary.
The people who came back from the land of death were even scarier.
Whenever one saw these 'people', they would think of death itself.
Not to mention the hideous appearance of the dead.
Gak, Gak!
The resurrected dead climbed up one after another.
As they swayed left and right, back and forth, their joints let out a series of crisp sounds, causing their bodies to take on an increasingly strange posture.
Some were standing stiffly.
Some were bending their upper bodies 90 ° to the side.
Some were facing the ground with their backs and legs supporting their bodies. The heads on their necks were spinning left and right, producing cracking noises.
Although their looks and postures were different, the dead moved in unison.
They stared at Kieran with their cloudy, white eyes and growled fiercely at him.
As for Chief Teddy?
The dead seemed to have purposely ignored him.
Even the one closest to Chief Teddy acted like he didn't see Chief Teddy at all.
Vomit to ward off evil?!
The thought popped up in Chief Teddy's mind.
However, his rationality told him that it was impossible.
If vomit could ward off evil, wouldn't the drunkard that he was supporting have blessed him?
So …
These dead people were being commanded!
They wanted to get rid of the most dangerous person, Kieran!
With that thought in mind, Chief Teddy was ready to help.
However, Kieran's speed was much faster than he had expected.
Kieran swung the sword in his hand the moment the shrill roar sounded.
[Sharp Standard-Issued Blade] was like cutting tofu, slicing off the heads of the two spirits closest to Kieran. Then, Kieran took the opportunity to swing the sword to the waist and thrust it forward.
Puk!
The blade went through one of the dead's eye sockets, and with a flick of his wrist, the head of the dead was sent flying. Kieran then swung the sword down again.
Stabbing, slashing, and slicing. It was a very simple move, but in Kieran's hands, it had a different feeling.
It wasn't elegant.
It wasn't elegant.
It wasn't flashy.
It was simple yet lethal.
Chief Teddy was dumbstruck as he looked at Kieran. Within a couple of breaths, Kieran had cleaned up the resurrected dead like he was chopping vegetables.
The dead that died again didn't come back to life.
Chief Teddy looked down at the dead that died again. In the end, he couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked, "Are you a swordsman?"
"Nope.
It's just experience. "
Kieran shook the sword in his hand, and the dirty blood on the blade instantly drew a neat "1" on the clean floor.
It wasn't a perfunctory act or a bluff.
Truth be told, Kieran wasn't good with swords.
But with short swords, daggers, greatswords, and greatswords, Kieran was very good with them. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he was extraordinary.
Given the circumstances, it wasn't hard for Kieran to comprehend by analogy.
It wasn't that Kieran was gifted, but Kieran spent most of his time familiarizing himself with all the techniques he knew, including swordsmanship.
"Experience?"
Chief Teddy shook his head, obviously not believing what Kieran said.
How many people did Kieran have to kill to achieve such a level with just experience?
Kieran's age wasn't convincing enough.
No matter how mature and unusual Kieran behaved, Chief Teddy wouldn't believe him, he would think Kieran was trying to cover something up.
Naturally, Chief Teddy didn't press the issue anymore.
Kieran glanced over the doubtful Chief Teddy and didn't explain.
After all, the situation wasn't suitable.
After the dead fell to the floor, the lights in the mall started to flicker. The cold wind blew in from all directions, and when the flickering lights reached the maximum …
Pak Pak Pak!
Lights started to shatter one after another.
The mall, which had been brightly lit just a moment ago, was now completely dark.
However, the light didn't go away.
A torchlight was switched on in Kieran's other hand.
After passing the torchlight to Starbeck, Kieran had another one in his hand.
"You brought a torchlight as well?
Two of them? "
Chief Teddy looked at Kieran in shock.
"No.
Yes, three of them. "
Kieran shook his head and passed another torchlight to Chief Teddy.
"Does the restaurant need this many torchlights?"
Chief Teddy couldn't help but ask after he received the torchlight in a daze.
"There will be a power outage.
The more the better. "
Kieran said calmly and started to size up the surroundings with the torchlight. Chief Teddy went quiet.
Until now, he couldn't understand the young man in front of him anymore.
It seemed like Kieran had predicted everything that would happen and prepared everything beforehand. If Kieran wasn't in the same dangerous situation as him, Chief Teddy would have suspected that it was Kieran's doing.
He carefully shone the torchlight around and realized he was still in the mall.
At least, that was what he saw.
Chief Teddy couldn't believe his own eyes.
However, when he saw the changing room further away, he still skipped a breath.
The files clearly stated that Lin MiaoMiao went missing in the changing room.
Tssk Gak!
Suddenly, a much colder and gloomier presence came from the corner. The door of the changing room was blown open just like that.
The door was supposed to be silent, but the door frame and the hinges gave out an irritating screech, causing Chief Teddy's body to ache.
But soon, he couldn't care about that anymore.
Under the light from the torchlight, he saw three fingertips.
Middle finger, index finger, and ring finger.
The grayish-white fingertips were pressed against the door of the changing room, and bit by bit, they popped out.
Chief Teddy's sight was completely captivated by the scene.
His dry throat made him swallow his saliva unconsciously.
He saw a whole palm.
The grayish-white palm was the same color as the fingers, except for a patch of green veins. The veins bulged out, making the palm look strangely thin.
Even so, Chief Teddy was sure it was a woman's palm.
'Is it Lin MiaoMiao?'
Chief Teddy wondered, his other hand gripping the kitchen knife tighter.
Puk!
Suddenly, the sound of a sword piercing a body was heard.
Chief Teddy turned around and saw Kieran was facing the changing room, but the sword in his hand was stabbed diagonally upwards.
A white figure with hair covering his face was stabbed in the face by a sword as he descended from the sky.
Pak!
The figure hanging down from the sky fell to the ground after being hit by the sword.
"It's Andy!"
Chief Teddy confirmed the identity of the figure after he shone his torchlight on it.
He then looked at Kieran again.
"How did you know?"
Further away in the changing room, the hand was frozen in mid-air, not moving at all. Even an idiot would know that the hand in the changing room was to attract their attention. The real killer move was the hanging dead.
However, Sheriff Teddy was certain that the drooping dead were silent.
Unless one saw it with their own eyes, they wouldn't have noticed it.
At the same time, because of the angle, Chief Teddy was sure that Kieran's eyes were looking at the changing room, not above his head.
"The instinct of living in the deep forest."
Kieran was straightforward when faced with Chief Teddy's curiosity.
He was trying to cover it up this time.
However, Chief Teddy believed Kieran's words.
He had gone through Kieran's information before, so he knew what kind of environment Kieran had been living in. It wasn't impossible for him to train his super long instinct in such an environment.
When Teddy was still a police officer, Chief Teddy had told him that some people were born with sharp instincts, and with a little bit of experience, they could achieve things that were unimaginable to common people.
"So what should we do now?
Or should I say … "
"Can your forest instinct help us get out?"
Chief Teddy tried to test Kieran.
However, to his surprise, Kieran nodded.
"Follow me!"
Kieran then turned around and walked towards a certain direction with his torchlight.
Chief Teddy followed without a second thought.
Kieran's actions had won the chief's trust.
Kieran carried Starbeck on his back.
Teddy helped the drunkard up.
One in front and one behind, they soon disappeared into the darkness.
…
"Hey!
"Instinct?"
"If intuition is useful, then what are we Eckertis?"
Do you really think you can get out with your instinct after trying your luck and breaking through my setup a few times?
This is arrogance! "
A gloomy, mocking voice came from the darkness.
The voice was soft and special, it sounded like it came from the darkness, but it also sounded like it was coming from the ceiling.
At the next moment, a pair of eyes appeared where the ceiling should be.
A pair of eyes hidden in the darkness.
Inside the darkness, the eyes were similar to the voice, undetectable.
But outside …
Bloody Mary crossed its arms and stood behind the man, watching him climb up the roof of Leaf Dining and manipulate a bowl-like item. Bloody Mary showed a faint sneer on its face.
It really didn't know how to comment on these arrogant bastards.
Its boss was already so powerful, but it still followed its heart and hid itself. It would not reveal its trump card until the very last moment.
On the other hand, these bastards who knew little about power had no scruples at all.
Maybe this was the reason why its boss was so powerful?
Bloody Mary's movements weren't slow despite the thoughts in its heart.
Although it was severely weakened and its own strength was almost negligible, picking up something that wasn't too heavy was still a piece of cake for Bloody Mary.
For example, a brick.
The brick on the roof of Leaf Dining was picked up by Bloody Mary and aimed at the back of the man's head, spinning it around and smashing it down.
