Chapter 1385: Things You Should do

That shout sounded like he was screaming his vocal cords out. The skinny man neglected the pain on his neck as explosive power came from his hands, he grabbed the dagger and hand that was across his throat with inhuman strength.

Gak Tss!

The thin and strong hands tangled together tightly like steel locks, even their joints started to produce teeth-numbing screeches.

The man was in disbelief as his strong arm was grabbed and moved by the skinny man.

On top of that, the skinny man even plunged his nails into the man’s palm and forearm.

The forearm was lacerated, and blood was gushing out. The dagger fell to the ground, but before the man could cry out in pain, the skinny man turned around and bit the man on the neck.

The skinny man’s bulging eyes were full of hatred; he was like a frenzied beast biting its prey on the neck, and without the dagger’s deterrent force, the bite was deep.

Bak Bak Bak!

The immense pain made the man brutally beat the skinny man, his great power landing on the scrawny man was like playing the war drums, but the thin man felt nothing as if his pain receptors were gone, or rather, it wasn’t his body that was suffering from the hits.

The skinny man’s teeth entered the neck deeper, and in the end, a big chunk of flesh was torn from the man’s neck.

Blood sprayed like a fountain, veins were tangling outside, swinging left and right.

The skinny man’s face that was painted red got even more vicious while he continued. He threw himself on the man and kept up the attacks.

The skinny man wanted revenge!

An eye for an eye! Blood must be paid with blood!

Ugh!

All the crew members that saw the gruesome scene threw up without exception, but Kieran was watching it with a calm face. He had witnessed a lot more grotesque scenes than this.

However, Kieran’s gaze towards the skinny man showed surprise.

It is evident that the skinny man ultimately bought Kieran’s identity as a shaman, and he never doubted anything about vengeful spirit possession and taking revenge using the possessed body, thus the outstanding effect.

Kieran wasn’t surprised that he could hypnotize the skinny man, it was his choice anyway.

Compared to the mastermind, the skinny man was weaker in terms of willpower and calmness; thus, he was an excellent hypnosis target.

What truly surprised Kieran was that [Mystical Knowledge] combined with [Viper Body] and a mix of words could produce such a remarkable effect.

“Is it a little too real?”

Kieran recalled the scene a moment ago and branded the thought in his mind, he started to think about how would he make everything even more real.

He had to spend quite some time in this dungeon world, and he had limited methods to deal with enemies with his weakened state. If he could get his hands on another defensive method, he would not mind at all.

Though, that was a matter for another time.

Now?

“Inside the darkness, under the ground.”

“The path of the dead, the river of the nether realm.”

“Don’t listen, don’t see, don’t stop. Move, move forward!”

After another massive chant, Kieran turned around and kicked the light behind him.

Pak!

The light disappeared amidst the sound of breaking glass

The whole alleyway was plunged into darkness.

The chewing stopped, the skinny man then fell beside the mastermind.

Everything returned to normal, at least that’s what it looked like.

The mastermind was killed.

In fact, after the mastermind was bitten on the throat, he was already suffering severe damage, and the follow-up munch from the skinny man became the last straw that broke the camel’s back.

As for the skinny man himself, he did suffer quite some damage himself.

He may look powerful after he opened himself under hypnotism, but the cost was actually hurting himself.

More importantly, the skinny man didn’t just suffer physical damage, his brain also suffered mental injury as well.

The skinny man became crazy after he woke up on the stretcher.

“I-I will avenge you all!”

“I will avenge you!”

“We are one.”

...

“Do you have an explanation for this?”

Mei Huasheng pointed at the skinny man who was being lifted into the ambulance. Her eyes at Kieran was extremely unfriendly.

The female officer didn’t hate Kieran for not helping her to fight Noroid Church; it was just that her personality was rigorous to begin with.

In other words, even if Kieran agreed to help her, she would still look at Kieran like that.

“Officer Mei, are you officially questioning 2567?”

Kieran hadn’t even spoken, and Eckart was already in front of him.

The director looked a little ugly after throwing up, but somehow, his hand was already holding a recording pen.

Mei Huasheng saw the recorder, but it didn’t change her thoughts.

“Yes! I am officially-”

“Great, our lawyer is on the way now. We will remain silent until we see our lawyer.”

Eckart interrupted Mei Huasheng impolitely, it made her frown. Just when Mei Huasheng was ready to argue, Lin An ran over quickly.

“Officer Mei, the director requested you go to his office.”

“There’s new progress on the Edwood Mansion case,” Lin An said.

Mei Huasheng hesitated for a while before nodding.

It was her case, so it should be her responsibility.

Therefore, after a glance at Eckart, she was ready to leave, but she didn’t give up, though.

Just that the priority of Edwood Mansion’s case was higher than arguing with Eckart.

“What a troublesome woman.”

Eckart grunted at Mei Huasheng’s back and looked at Lin An. Unlike his strict partner, Lin An was much better to deal with.

At least Lin An knew how to achieve things with softer methods that didn’t cross his bottom line.

“I’m sorry, Officer Mei was from the Spec Ops team before.”

“Her way of doing things might be different than ours,” Lin An apologized on behalf of his partner.

Lin An’s gaze at Kieran also turned complicated when he saw Kieran standing in silence.

Each time they met, Kieran will always surprise the officer, this time was no exception either.

After checking the crime scene, Lin An knew if Kieran didn’t tell him the answer first, he might be deceived and release the mastermind based on the evidence, despite the mastermind being dead.

Once he thought about the consequences, Lin An’s heart couldn’t help but feel defeated.

Though, he quickly adjusted his emotions with a deep breath.

“Thank you,” he said.

Another deep breath later, he continued with a stricter tone, “I’ll do better next time!”

Lin An then walked away to his business, many other matters required his attention.

This would be a sleepless night again.

“What does he mean? Is he challenging you?” Eckart raised a puzzled brow at Lin An’s back.

“No. He just wanted to live up to his conscience and uniform.”

“A good person.”

After the comment, Kieran looked at Eckart and said, “Let’s go then.”

“Go where?” Eckart jolted.

“Where?” Kieran replied in a questioning tone.

Eckart immediately reacted to the question, he smiled and went back to the minivan.

The minivan then soon disappeared into the night.
