Chapter 188: 141 I Hate You Like a Stone (4200)_1 Chapter 188: 141 I Hate You Like a Stone (4200)_1 In Twilight’s original memory, there is a certain node.

During a mission, he discovered a broken relic and obtained a formula for a secret medicine that could induce pseudo-death from the relic itself. This secret medicine could even deceive the marking on the Eerie Night Guest’s hand and fool the Decayed Knight.

In that mission, Twilight was in a tourist city by the side of a mountain and a lake. The target was to hunt down vampires, and it seemed to be an important nest of the Blood Clan.

Casio narrowed his eyes in thought at the side of the yellow dining table.

He was trying to remember Twilight’s blurry memories.

As he recalls, Twilight’s mission in the Black Rain Villa took place in the summer. The city he came to had just held a grand local festival, and cities like Jinghu and Ming Mountain have such customs. On this day, citizens from both cities would fetch water from Mirror Lake. Then, either carrying wooden buckets or wooden basins, they would shake water from a branch with leaves on the streets.

Passers-by of any status would be enthusiastically treated, and they had better not go out on this day if they didn’t want to get completely wet.

This festival is known as the Wood Rain Festival, which seems to have evolved from religious customs, having some similarities with the Saint Bath Festival celebrated in many southern jurisdictions. In the hearts of the local residents of Jinghu and Ming Mountain, the water of Mirror Lake was thought to have magical power. Sprinkling the lake water all over one’s body was believed to bring good luck for the whole year.

The Wood Rain Festival is held on the first of July each year.

Twilight was hunting the Blood Clan in the dense forest of the mountain range when he accidentally discovered a cave. And by following the dim cave, he discovered a broken ruin and got the secret medicine from there. He intended to continue exploring, but he sensed danger and retreated.

Casio tried to remember, but could only perceive vague images and fragmented processes. It would not be easy to find a small cave in such a large mountain range based on this information alone. Furthermore, he couldn’t guarantee that the broken relic in the cave was the Akaba Ruin that Black Rain Villa wanted him to find.

Twilight’s memory was still too blurred, recalling it was hazy like a dream, he could hardly remember anything.

Were it not for several keywords colliding together at the same time, Casio might not have been able to trigger that memory.

“First familiarise myself with the environment here, and then hire a local guide to look for clues from Twilight’s memory with a map…”

Casio narrowed his eyes and drank the last gulp of milk.

The next day, Jinghu City Police Department, Director’s Office.

Kenneth was pressing his temples with a headache from the constant disappearances in Jinghu City, as the Director, he was under immense pressure. He couldn’t sleep soundly at night recently, and his hair was falling out more than usual when he woke up the next day – Kenneth was rapidly evolving into a bald head.

However, the “professionals” sent over by the county arrived yesterday, which was a relief. The leader of that group had a secret conversation in the office with him, and Kenneth deeply understood some dark, horrifying, shocking secrets.

There existed a world unimaginable beneath the peaceful human society. Dark, man-eating creatures, absurd, unknown weird existences, Mercury Hunters with extraordinary powers… And this was only the tip of the iceberg, much darker, chaotic rules and sights were hidden in the deep, silent seabed.

It was a matter of the right people doing the right job.

Those who claimed to be Mercury Hunters had already started investigating the serial disappearances in Jinghu City, hoping it would be quicker…

Kenneth sighed, rubbing his eyes. He picked up a small stack of files on the right side of the desk to start working.

“Knock, knock, knock…”

The sound of three knocks echoed, and then the doorknob was twisted open. Kenneth instantly knew who it was—his niece, Cathy. She had just graduated from school three months ago and joined the Jinghu City Police Department and is currently an intern.

He sighed and looked up.

“What is it? Officer Cathy.”

Opposite to him was a pretty girl dressed in a dark blue police uniform. Tall in stature, with fair skin. Cathy had short, neat and exquisite hair, bright black eyes, straight eyebrows like a knife, and a face with a fearless expression.

“Director Kenneth, I request to be transferred to the Criminal Investigation Department or the Special Action Department,” the girl closed the door behind her and said.

“What are you going to do in the Criminal Investigation Department or the Special Action Department!?”

Kenneth’s eyes widened.

“Recently, there have been serial disappearances in Jinghu City, and I want to fight on the front lines with the colleagues in the Criminal Investigation Department to bring the criminals to justice! If I can’t get into the Criminal Investigation Department, then the Special Action Department would be alright too–Uncle,” Cathy walked towards the office desk with a smile.

“Stop fooling around! This is not going to happen, stay in the office and be good. Don’t try to be special during the remaining three months of your internship, go back,” Kenneth waved his hand frowning, “and, don’t call me uncle during work hours…”

“Alright… Uncle,” Cathy was apparently a little downcast.

“Go, go, go, don’t disturb my work.”

Kenneth shook his head. This period was extremely dangerous, and people working on the front line like those in the Criminal Investigation Department and the Special Action Department might have to work with those Mercury Hunters sooner or later. If they encountered the blood-sucking monsters those Mercury Hunters were talking about, harm and death would be hard to avoid even with firearms turned on them.
