Kieran believed that if he could figure it out, so could John.
It might even be easier than Kieran.
After all, Kieran had just arrived at this place, and his identity was just a detective. John, on the other hand, was a real native with his own identity and position.
Native was a new term given to NPCs by veterans such as Lawless.
It came from the truth.
Kieran did not object to the new term. Although he was still not used to it, Kieran believed that he would eventually get used to it.
"What should I do?"
John asked in return.
Kieran did not need an answer though.
The anger hidden under John's rough exterior was enough to explain everything.
Although he had been quiet all this while, it did not mean that he was backing down.
The justice in his heart would not allow such a thing to happen.
"Damn vermin!"
I want him to know what the law is for! "
John squeezed the words out of his clenched teeth.
His words might sound like a joke to some, but when Kieran looked at the chief officer in front of him, he did not find it funny at all.
John was serious.
Not just in his expression, but in his heart as well.
"Do you need help?"
Kieran asked.
Kieran's question came naturally.
Most of it was because Kieran had realized that this was another Sub Mission, but there were other things mixed in as well. Kieran had purposely ignored them.
John raised his head and looked at Kieran in surprise when he heard the question.
The surprise lasted for two seconds before it was replaced by a smile.
A sincere smile appeared on his rough face, but it still looked ferocious.
"Thank you!
But now is not the time.
I'm going to join forces with the others. You and I alone have no chance of winning! "
Chief Officer John then walked out of the room.
However, when he reached the door, he stopped and turned around to look at Kieran.
"Don't worry, I won't forget about Altilly Hunter.
"After all, you are also one of the people I want to ally with!"
After that, the chief left without looking back.
Kieran rolled his eyes.
He was not used to this kind of teasing from friends.
Or rather, he wasn't used to having friends.
As a person who was constantly on the run for his life, friends were also a luxury.
This was because maintaining friendship also required time and money.
Coincidentally, Kieran had neither.
"I'm afraid this Side Mission has surpassed the standard of a first-time dungeon player!"
Kieran thought silently.
This wasn't baseless. It was a judgment based on the strength that Schubert and his group had displayed.
Normal players who were experiencing a dungeon quest for the first time would not have the chance to turn the situation around, even if they were like him and detonated the entire building.
In the end, the most likely outcome was to be smashed into pieces.
"Another Side Mission that exceeded my expectations!
Sitting in the chief officer's chair, Kieran smirked.
Kieran wasn't worried about the difficulty of the mission. He was only worried that it wouldn't be enough.
As for the mission being too difficult or even failing the game?
Of course, Kieran had thought about it before.
However, there was always a risk in everything he did. Given that his life was about to end, what other choice did he have?
The answer was obvious.
Kieran had no other choice.
Therefore, he might as well give it a shot.
Even though Kieran didn't like taking risks like this, he had to.
"I really had no choice!"
Kieran muttered as he stretched his body, but the pain that followed made him clench his teeth.
It was easier for Kieran to choose between the chair and the bed.
He didn't want his body to be in more pain after one night.
…
The sun dispelled the darkness of the night.
The streets of the city were bustling with people.
When the paperboys joined the crowd, it became even livelier.
"Extra! Extra! "
"The Great Detective Kieran solves the Unknown Female Corpses Case!"
"Extra! Extra! "
"The Great Detective Kieran destroys the gang's forbidden grounds!"
…
The clear voices of the paperboys spread far and wide, attracting the attention of the passersby.
Especially after the explosion last night. As long as one wasn't dead asleep, anyone would have noticed it.
However, the explosion at night was too dangerous for the commoners. They didn't dare go out to check what had happened.
It made them even more curious.
Therefore, even people who didn't usually read newspapers were willing to fork out 10 cents to buy a newspaper at this time.
There were quite a number of them.
Every paperboy was surrounded by a group of people. Usually, it would take half a day to sell out, but now, it only took half an hour to sell out.
This caused a smile to appear on the faces of the paperboys.
At the same time, the curiosity of the people was satisfied, so they smiled too.
The merchants who got more copies of the newspaper and got more profits were also smiling.
Almost everyone was looking at the front page, which took up almost half of the page. The picture of Kieran wearing a deerstalker hat and smoking a pipe was all smiling.
It was' almost 'because Kieran didn't smile.
When he crawled out of his soft bed, the sun was already high in the sky.
Enough sleep had made the pain in his body disappear without a trace, and his HP had also recovered to full.
After changing his clothes and bringing his necessities, Kieran went to the restaurant not far away from his place.
Although his place was on the second floor, there wasn't a landlady named Mrs. Hudson on the first floor who would serve him breakfast.
However, when Kieran entered the restaurant, he noticed something was wrong.
Everyone's eyes seemed to be on him.
Curiosity! Curiosity!
Disdain! Jealousy!
From the moment Kieran sat down, ordered his food, to the moment the food was served, less than 10 minutes later, he felt like he was being pointed at by hundreds of swords.
The situation was getting worse.
Because more and more people had joined the ranks.
At the same time, the discussions among the crowd gave Kieran a general idea of what was going on.
When he saw two ladies with burning eyes walking towards him, Kieran packed his breakfast decisively and left the restaurant quickly.
Of course, it wasn't hard for Kieran to shake off the burning eyes of the ladies.
Of course, there weren't too many of them!
When more than a dozen or even 20 of them had their eyes on Kieran, even with his Master Level [Undercover], Kieran still couldn't shake them off.
In the end, Kieran had no choice but to walk towards St. Paolo School, even though his original destination was there.
With the help of the police and the security team, Kieran managed to shake off the crazy ladies.
"Attracting bees and butterflies!"
The captain of the security team despised Kieran's actions.
However, he didn't stop Kieran from entering the school anymore.
It seemed like he had received orders.
Of course, it didn't completely change his impression of Kieran.
Kieran didn't mind though.
Compared to the peace and tranquility she brought him, all of this was nothing.
"Sister Moni is praying right now. She'll have some work to do after that. She'll see you at noon!"
The captain of the school security team said.
"I can go to Sir Guntherson first!"
Kieran replied.
The captain didn't say anything else to Kieran. He brought Kieran to Guntherson's house and left.
"I'll keep an eye on you!"
The captain warned Kieran before he left.
Kieran replied with a smile.
After the security captain left, Guntherson came out of the wooden house. He was still wearing a simple linen shirt. His feet were bare, and his arms were bare.
"Morning!"
Kieran greeted him.
"Any leads?"
Guntherson asked.
"Nope!
I was planning to take action, but something happened. I had to hide here for a while. "
Kieran shook his head with a bitter smile, looking embarrassed.
Kieran didn't even wait for her to ask before he spilled everything out.
"Hahahaha!"
Guntherson laughed out loud when he heard that.
"You don't have to run away from this kind of situation. You have to face it boldly. This is also a kind of reward!"
Guntherson said.
"As a Knight, is it appropriate for you to say something like that?"
Kieran asked.
"How do you know that I didn't become a Knight to be more popular?"
Guntherson's question rendered Kieran speechless.
"I think we should talk about my original plan."
Kieran didn't linger on the topic anymore and went straight to the point.
"I'm all ears!"
Guntherson's expression turned serious.
"After I left here yesterday, I was followed.
I can't be sure who it is. But I'm half sure it's those bastards.
They are paying close attention to St. Paolo School's every move!
They won't let anyone go in or out. "
Kieran briefly told Guntherson about what had happened the day before.
"You should've caught that bastard! With your skills, it wouldn't have been hard! "
Guntherson said in a regretful tone.
"Yeah! That's if no one messed things up! "
Kieran smiled bitterly as he told Guntherson about the assassination on the street.
The last Knight of the Church of Dawn couldn't help but praise Guntherson.
"A man favored by fate. If you were born in our era, you would've been praised like this!"
Guntherson said.
"And the title of 'Unlucky Bastard'?"
Kieran said with a pout.
"Hahahaha!
That's right, that's right!
As expected of the great detective, you're very smart! "
Guntherson laughed again and slapped his knee, looking very happy.
"I think this kind of mockery will damage your identity as a Knight!"
Kieran reminded Guntherson.
"Of course, this identity has to be recognized by the people!
I'm now the night watchman of St. Paolo School! "
Guntherson didn't hold back his laughter. Instead, he laughed even louder.
It made Kieran understand what kind of nasty character Guntherson was.
He didn't mind building his happiness on someone else's pain.
Kieran swore that whoever had made Guntherson the Knight must have been blind.
"I think we should bring the topic back to our original plan!"
Kieran reminded Guntherson.
The other party seemed to have some integrity. When it came to serious matters, he was not careless. He withdrew his smile and said sternly, "Continue!"
My original plan was to lure the snake out of its hole! "
Kieran continued.
"But now that your plan has been disrupted, it'll be hard to carry it out!"
Guntherson frowned.
"No! Quite the opposite!
"My plan has become even easier to succeed!"
Because they'll see today's newspaper!
