Report

Kieran stared at the pair of murky, bleeding eyes.

Hatred and grudge.

It was no longer the hatred of the dead towards the living, but a naked killing intent.

A slight chill spread throughout the room as the pair of eyes stared at Hoskin. Hoskin twisted his body in discomfort but since it was his first time catching a criminal and a murderer, the young officer didn't care about the cold at all.

Kieran, on the other hand, felt like he was facing a formidable foe.

[Fusion Heart] was temporarily sealed and [Charles' Fire] that had fused with the devil's energy was rendered unusable.

All his skills were reduced by 1 and it rendered Transcendence [Hand-to-Hand Combat], which was extremely effective against soul type beings, useless.

Plus, Kieran couldn't bring any equipment with him at the moment. It was enough for Kieran to be extra careful against an evil spirit.

It wasn't just because Kieran didn't have a better way to deal with an evil spirit, it was also because the appearance of the evil spirit alarmed Kieran.

According to Kieran's [Mystical Knowledge], when a common man died, his soul would quickly disperse and leave the world. There was only a small chance for it to turn into a wandering soul.

If a wandering soul wanted to turn into an evil spirit, it would have to go through the rank of a vicious spirit and it wasn't an easy task.

In fact, most of the wandering souls would remain as a wandering soul until they perished.

The chances of turning into a vicious spirit was less than one in ten thousand.

Likewise, the chances of a vicious spirit turning into an evil spirit was the same.

However, the jumper before Hoskin's eyes turned into an evil spirit right after he died … It was impossible.

It was impossible even if he was tortured to death.

Because it required time!

A period of time was long enough for a common man.

"Is it because of this dungeon world?"

Kieran thought unconsciously.

However, he quickly discarded the thought away from his mind.

If it was because of the special dungeon world, he wouldn't be able to see a single living soul. This dungeon world had turned into a land of dead souls.

Then …

"Is it controlled by someone?

"Or did something special happen?"

Kieran wondered in his heart. He was ready to light up the alcohol lamp beside him.

Fire and lightning had miraculous effects on wandering souls.

Even if it was an evil spirit, it would have a certain effect.

At least it was better than fighting barehanded.

However, Kieran soon realized that something was wrong.

Although the evil spirit was sticking close to the window, it seemed that … it could not get in?

Kieran was surprised.

Other than the fact that ordinary people couldn't see, the reason why the souls of the dead made people feel helpless was because of their ability to travel freely.

Not to mention glass, even walls and floors could be easily penetrated.

This was especially true for Evil Spirits and Evil Spirits, who could already move some heavy objects and cause physical damage to people. Meanwhile, negative energy would make people feel as cold as if they had fallen into an icehouse.

But right now …

"There must be something in the office that prevented it from entering!"

"What could it be?"

Kieran began to scan the office in front of him.

For Kieran, who did not have a single piece of equipment, any item was valuable.

He couldn't really rely on the lighter to fight the evil spirit, could he?

Without proper arrangements, they would be courting death!

The office in front of him wasn't that big. Kieran had scanned the place once before and had a general impression of it. Now that he sized it up again, he imprinted the entire office in his mind.

However, he didn't notice anything noteworthy.

Whether it was Kieran's sight or his pure Intuition, it was the same.

"Could it be that it's not in this office?"

Kieran slightly frowned.

Just when Kieran was deep in his thoughts, sprinting footsteps sounded.

Dak Dak Dak!

The elderly officer soon appeared in the office. He looked at Kieran who was cuffed together with Hoskin with a doubtful gaze before he patted Hoskin's shoulder hard with a smile.

"Nicely done!"

The elderly officer wasn't stingy with his compliments.

"No, it's not me, I'm just …"

Hoskin was undoubtedly a righteous man.

Although he really wanted the credit, he had to explain the crucial role that Kieran played.

The elderly officer looked at Kieran with a strange gaze.

He knew how Kieran suffered from amnesia.

An amnesia patient could achieve such a feat, it made the elderly officer doubtful.

"Are you sure you weren't a detective or a police officer before you lost your memory?"

The elderly officer asked.

Maybe it was because of the role that Kieran played earlier, the elderly officer's tone wasn't as cold as interrogating a criminal anymore, it was slightly more polite.

"If I could remember, I wouldn't have to bear the title of an amnesia patient."

Kieran shrugged.

"Don't worry, you will get better!"

The elderly officer comforted Kieran.

After that, it was official business.

Following the arrival of more officers, the doctor who murdered his lover out of impulse and purposely set up the scene was taken away. The doctor's mental defense was unexpectedly weak, when the uniformed officers questioned him, he quickly confessed everything.

"I think the hospital will install protective nets in the future!

If I can open up a company to install protective nets, I will earn a fortune! "

On the way back to Kieran's ward, Hoskin joked with Kieran after working together for a while. It was obvious that his relationship with Kieran had improved a lot.

"You can open up a part-time company like that!"

Kieran said with a smile.

"No, no, being a police officer is my dream job!

I was born to be a police officer! "

Hoskin said with a serious face.

Under the reflection of the light in the corridor, Kieran seemed to see a layer of faint glow on Hoskin's face.

If Kieran didn't see the bloody face on the window in the corridor with the corner of his eyes, the scene would be worthy of applause.

"I'm sorry, it's the chief's order …"

After entering the room, Hoskin cuffed Kieran back to the bed with an apologetic face.

Then, as if he wanted to make up for it, the young officer said, "What do you need? Food, drinks? Or some magazines or newspapers to relieve boredom? "

"Give me some food and some magazines and newspapers," Wang Yao said.

After all, the night is long! "

Kieran said in a slightly joking manner.

When Hoskin left the room, Kieran, who was still smiling a moment ago, turned serious right away.

He turned around to the window.

The evil spirit was pasted on the window again, its eyes were filled with the desire for Kieran's flesh and blood.

However, a formless energy prevented the evil spirit from entering the room.

"It's not something or someone, it should be …"

"A barrier that enveloped the whole hospital!"

Kieran recalled how the evil spirit followed him all the way to the hospital.

He was curious as to why a hospital would have a barrier around it.

At the same time, he was quite confident that it was a sub-mission.

However, the more important thing was that he couldn't leave the hospital anymore.

Outside the hospital, there was an evil spirit that had its eyes on him.

Once he left the hospital's perimeter, without the corresponding means, he would be digging his own grave.

However, if he stayed in the hospital, his undocumented identity would be exposed and it would be extremely troublesome because of the explosion case.

Huu!

Kieran took in a deep breath and looked at the evil spirit again.
