Tss Tss!
When the fuse was ignited and the metallic door was opened, the smell of sulfur and saltpeter assaulted Kieran's face. He instantly knew what the man had done.
He had ignited the explosives!
Kieran had no idea why the man had prepared so many explosives beforehand.
He knew that if he didn't want to be blasted into smithereens, he would have to run.
Kieran went through the door of the main hall, and as soon as he reached the lawn, he felt an irresistible force coming from his back. His whole body was like a fallen leaf in a raging wind, being swept up and thrown forward.
KABOOM!
Raging flames burst out from the door and windows of the building behind Kieran. The door frame and the window frame were twisted, glass shards flying everywhere.
Black smoke billowed as the flames rose to the sky.
Kieran shook his head as he climbed up from the lawn, staggering a little.
He wasn't hurt, but the loud explosion from before had filled his ears with the noise, causing him to lose his balance.
Tssss!
A car's headlights shone from afar, and before the loud brakes stopped, Schmidt jumped down from the Picard.
"How are you, 2567?"
Schmidt asked as he ran over.
"I'm fine, just a little ringing in my ears."
Kieran shook his head, looking at the rehabilitation center that was engulfed in a sea of fire.
"What the hell is going on?
Why did they cause such a big scene? "
Schmidt was also looking at the scene, his face filled with doubts.
"I ran into a demon!
That bastard chose the Gordon Rehabilitation Center because he wanted to cultivate and raise demons, but I don't know why he prepared so many explosives! "
Kieran briefly explained what he had encountered and also voiced his doubts.
"That bastard is crazy! How dare he control others to self-destruct!
What about Louver? "
Schmidt's righteous words enraged him, and he started to worry about the pitiful young man.
As for the demon that cultivated and raised demons?
Neither Kieran nor Schmidt believed that Louver would self-destruct.
He must have controlled others.
There were a lot of people like that in the Gordon Rehabilitation Center.
"Based on the current situation, I'm afraid Louver has really been controlled!"
"You should know that his heart is also filled with thoughts of self-destruction. If I were him, I wouldn't let go of such material either. And the way he nurtures and raises evil spirits …"
Kieran didn't finish his sentence.
However, Schmidt understood what was going on.
The sheriff slammed his fist on the hood and cursed in a low voice, "Bastard! Bastard! "
Although Schmidt did not know much about the breeding and rearing of evil spirits, based on his past experience, he could deduce that it was definitely not a good thing.
After all, the existence of evil spirits had never been heard of being harmless to humans.
Not to mention cultivating and raising an Evil Spirit's main body, that was absolutely tragic.
"I must kill that bastard!"
Schmidt said hatefully.
"So, we must find that bastard!"
As Kieran spoke, he raised two fingers.
"Right now, we have two leads.
"First is the list that we found in the Cursed Society. There are two items on the list that stand out. One is the Blood Queen Tiara, and the other is the Fantos manuscript. If we start with the names, we should be able to find something!"
Second, the explosives in front of us. I don't believe that bastard could have made so many explosives out of thin air. He must have some way to get them!
You should have some understanding of how to get them! "
Schmidt was an upright man with a bad temper, but he was not inflexible.
Kieran believed that as long as he did not cause any harm to innocent people, he would have many ways to monitor illegal activities.
Firearms and explosives were naturally one of them.
"Leave the explosives to me!"
As expected, as soon as Kieran's words subsided, Schmidt replied.
"Then leave the Blood Queen Tiara and the Fantos manuscript to me!
I'm curious as to what that bastard took from the Cursed Society. You should know that those were my spoils of war! "
Kieran said slowly, his tone cold.
Taking something that belonged to a stingy bastard could easily escalate the grudge between them to the point of irreconcilable enmity.
The two of them waited for another group of police officers to arrive before they returned to the city.
After rejecting Kieran's offer to send him back to the station, Schmidt got out of the car at an intersection.
"I don't want to cause a panic!
If the famous Bird of Death comes to the station at night, everyone will think that he's the Grim Reaper!
Our director has high blood pressure, and I don't want another idiot to give us orders just yet. After all, it takes a lot of time to work with an idiot.
"I'll look for you tomorrow morning as promised. Good night, sweet dreams."
Schmidt waved goodbye to Kieran as he spoke.
Kieran gave him the middle finger, and as Schmidt laughed mockingly, Kieran started the Picard and disappeared into the night.
"Rei, you've brought me a lot of trouble!"
Kieran couldn't help but shake his head with a bitter smile.
Schmidt's laughter had faded away, but that didn't mean it was over.
Kieran understood that Schmidt meant no harm. It was just a joke between friends.
The others wouldn't have reacted the same way.
They didn't know what had happened, but they knew the outcome.
It all started from the train station where he had returned to the West Coast.
1st Black Street.
The Cursed Society.
The Flaming Hound.
The Mueller Society.
And then the Goldberg Recovery Facility that had exploded.
Ominous things would happen wherever he went. In fact, it could even be said that death followed him like a shadow.
If it wasn't for Nikorei's prophecy, people might have been surprised, but they wouldn't have thought much about it.
However, with the prophecy of the strongest shaman on the West Coast, everything had changed.
Recalling the shocked, disgusted, and fearful expressions on the faces of the police officers, Kieran couldn't help but sigh.
He had seen a few of them several times that day.
They had been involved in the aftermath of Kieran's battle.
Because of that, they were the ones who feared Kieran the most.
At the same time, they were also the ones who spread the word about how terrifying Kieran was.
Kieran saw with his own eyes how the astonished people's expressions turned into disgust and fear after they heard what the others said.
He wanted to explain himself.
However, before he could get close, the police officers ran away, as if he was carrying a plague.
Kieran wisely gave up on the impossible.
"Rei, why are you doing this?"
Kieran mumbled.
Until now, he still didn't believe Rei's prophecy.
If it had been a joke, based on his understanding of Rei, it would have been a fact.
However, he also knew that Rei wasn't a person who didn't know what was important.
The old granny should have known what kind of trouble she would bring him. The Crow, the Ominous Bird, and the Bird of Death were just the beginning.
The real trouble was the phrase 'like a king descending upon the earth'.
Kieran could already imagine what kind of situation he would face in the coming days.
Anyone who heard the prophecy would not just laugh it off.
In fact, trouble came faster than Kieran had expected.
Ka!
The engine of the moving pickup truck suddenly died, followed by the headlights.
The streetlights went out as well.
The moon in the sky seemed to be covered by dark clouds.
Dak, dak, dak.
Footsteps sounded in the dark.
Intermittent.
Dragging his feet.
First time.
Went out to buy things in the morning and came back late.
Please forgive me.
