Just when Kieran was ready to jump out of the car and head to the scene, the gunshots stopped.
From the start to the end, it was just a blink of an eye.
Kieran raised a brow but he didn't stop.
"I'll go first!"
After leaving the words behind, Kieran vanished from the car. Kieran who was carrying an unimaginably heavy load on his back was like a bolt of lightning, vanishing from Oaker and Lee's sight.
Oaker didn't say anything, he clenched his teeth and stepped on the gas pedal to its limit.
Lee, on the other hand, was astonished.
Unlike the common inspector, Lee, as a member of the Inner Plane, knew very well what such speed represented.
Even though it was the first time he saw Kieran display his strength with his own eyes …
A part of it!
That's right, a part of it!
Towards the Devour Woman, the Puppet Fiend and the Flurry Blade Ghost.
"His strength has reached the level of a Fiend, proficient in speed, sharp weapons and freezing?"
Lee concluded, he already had a plan in his mind to report to his superior.
Kieran had no idea about it though.
Or rather, even if he knew, he would just smile at it.
The more attention was paid to the side Kieran displayed, the more they would neglect the hidden side.
During the crucial moment, the hidden side would transform into a lethal spear, stabbing into the hearts of those who harbored malicious intent towards him.
Fuuu!
When he was still a dozen meters away from the dismembered body scene where the gunshots came from, Kieran's sprinting body halted for a moment, the violent wind that he brought up was ravaging the area.
When the wind calmed down, Kieran strode towards the scene filled with bodies.
[Tracking] was already activated.
His special vision allowed Kieran to have a clear view of his surroundings.
A faint fiend presence shrouded the area. Bodies were strewn all over the place and every single one of their faces was filled with panic.
Judging from the position of the dead bodies and the guns in their hands, Kieran's mind was filled with the image of the policemen pulling out their guns involuntarily, pointing them at their colleagues and the forensics department, and pulling the trigger.
"Puppet Fiend?
Or? "
Kieran couldn't precisely determine which fiend caused the scene due to his lack of understanding of the dungeon.
However, there was one thing he was sure of.
"You know my movements like the back of your hands?"
Kieran propped his chin on his palm and muttered to himself.
There was no anger in his words.
On the contrary, a hint of a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Because of his actions, the mastermind behind the scenes had changed his plans.
In other words, his actions were out of the enemy's expectations, and …
There should have been some suspicious clues in this place.
Although it was definitely erased now, some of Kieran's guesses had been indirectly verified.
As for the rest, Kieran would have to search for more evidence before he could be sure.
He lowered his head and activated [Tracking] to scan his surroundings.
Even though the most important part had been destroyed, Kieran was not a person who would give up just based on guesses. He needed to truly try it out before he could give a definite conclusion.
Little by little, inch by inch.
Kieran started to pace along the secluded road in the outskirts.
The road was 5 to 6 meters wide, allowing a single car to pass without a problem, but if two cars were to pass, Kieran would have to be careful not to cross.
The slightest misstep would cause him to fall into the wilderness beside the road. The slope was not too steep, and there were broken stones and fallen leaves everywhere.
The dense forest about five meters away was the source of these fallen leaves.
The dense forest was made up of wide-leaved Paulownia trees. The trees were more than 10 meters tall and had wide trunks. They were emanating an unusual aura of life and vitality in the afternoon.
Of course, that was if Kieran did not see the dead bodies and the car that was mounted on a Paulownia tree.
This car belonged to the unknown 'hunter'.
Kieran crossed the police cordon and sized up the car.
The car had been modified. Although it was clumsy, it was sturdy enough. Because of that, the car did not fall apart when it sped off the road and crashed into the thick Paulownia tree, only the bumper of the car was dented.
The windshield of the car was broken in a spiderweb fashion.
There was a big, irregular hole on top of the windshield.
Kieran walked around the car, but he did not find anything noteworthy.
"When the car was moving, the attacker attacked, causing the car to lose control and crash into the Paulownia tree beside the road. Then, the attacker jumped on the hood of the car, smashed the windshield, and dragged the Hunter out of the car before he could react in time. In the end, the attacker killed the Hunter on the side of the road and ate part of the body."
Kieran said as he returned to the car.
The hood was gone.
The engine, etc., was exposed.
"Is this the reason for him to go back?"
Kieran guessed as he walked towards the spot where the Huntsman had been chewed.
The minced meat had been cleaned up by the police, but the blood was still there.
Through [Tracking], Kieran saw that the blood had extended from the car to the spot.
However, what surprised Kieran was that there were no signs of struggle at the spot.
It was as if the Hunter was defenseless.
Or as if he had died.
"It's not dead!
Judging by the amount of blood, the distance from the car to this spot, only this spot matches the amount of blood that the Hunter lost, which means … "
"Something like a paralysis toxin?
Or some other kind of ability? "
Kieran turned his attention back to the road.
He started from the spot where the car went off the road and headed back to the tracks.
The white tracks were very clear because of the brakes and the steering.
In fact, even with normal vision, one could see the black rubberized tracks on the road.
"The Hunter must have seen something that he had to avoid, that's why he braked!
But because the car was going too fast, the brakes didn't work. The Hunter was forced to turn the steering wheel and went off the road, crashing into the Paulownia tree! "
Kieran stood at the braking spot and looked at the direction where the car was going.
Other than the braking tracks, he didn't find anything.
"An illusion?"
Kieran squinted his eyes.
Oaker's car finally arrived at the scene from afar.
The moment he got off the car, Oaker saw the bodies all over the place. His old face was replaced by red rage.
"Bastard! Damn it! "
Curses followed right after.
Lee's face wasn't looking good either.
It was because of the death of a human being and the fact that the death before his eyes would be included in his assessment.
It wouldn't be an excellent one.
It might even be impossible for him to pass the assessment.
He had to make up for it!
Lee's heart was filled with thoughts, he asked Kieran anxiously.
"Master Bird of Death, do you have any clues?"
Lee asked.
"Before I tell you what I found, I have a question for you …"
"Does anyone know the route this Huntsman took to get to Saint Brilliant?"
Kieran asked back.
