Ke-style law enforcement officers

Chapter 38 Approaching Assessment
After the night of the Day of the Dead, Emma locked herself upstairs and refused to leave the house. She said she was not feeling well and asked her family not to disturb her. She was only seen coming downstairs for three meals a day.

She was already in poor health, and this incident had given her quite a shock. Her family didn't think much of it and just told her to rest.

Whatever Emma was up to, Milo was genuinely uncomfortable.

After returning from the cemetery, he lay in bed for two days straight, tossing and turning in bed day and night, his head throbbing with pain, unable to get out of bed at all.

If the headache level after spying on Robben was 1, then it should be 5 in the current state.

My nose kept bleeding, and I kept vomiting.

Milo lay flat on his back, but felt as if he were strapped to a roller coaster, spinning around and around. The sunlight outside the window was sometimes blinding and sometimes dark and cloudy.

Kang found him a doctor, but the examination didn't reveal any results.

Milo was tortured in this state for two days.

It wasn't until the third day that his condition improved.

……

"Brother, you're not dead?"

Early in the morning, Finn, who was sitting at the dining table eating bread, was quite surprised to see Milo stagger out of the room.

"I'm dead, I'm a ghost now," Milo said weakly, slumping onto the sofa.

He can only breathe through his mouth now, as the nosebleeds he's had over the past two days have dried and solidified, completely blocking both of his nostrils.

Now, recalling the words of the Red Witch on the night of the Day of the Dead, Milo still feels lingering fear.

"After you have seen enough of the dead, you will gain their abilities and powers, but at the same time you will completely forget which one is your real life, and you will fall into madness."

Milo wasn't sure if he was insane or not; he only felt like half his life had been taken away from him.

This is fucking unbearable.

Is this the aftereffect of being a voyeur?

According to the witch, if this happens a few more times, Milo might not even survive.

I won't do it again.

Milo rubbed his temples and noticed that the wound on the back of his hand had already scabbed over.

"How is your sister?" he asked, turning to Finn.

"I don't know, she won't let me upstairs..." Little Finn glanced at the stairs subconsciously and muttered, "I want to be sick too, so I can stay home and lie in bed all day and not have to go to school."

"Oh yeah, if you keep saying that, see if your dad beats you up later." Milo rolled his eyes.

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a muffled thud came from upstairs—"Bang!"

The sound of shattering glass was like something exploding.

The two brothers jumped up in an instant.

Just as I was about to run upstairs, Emma's voice came from upstairs again: "It's nothing, just a broken cup, you're not allowed to come up."

Milo and Finn looked at each other in bewilderment.

Are you sure she's really alright?

"My sister seemed fine when she was eating just now," Little Finn said, looking bewildered.

He was halfway through his sentence when he smelled a pungent odor:

"Ugh, what's that smell? It's awful!"

Milo's nostrils were completely blocked, but he could still smell the pungent chemical odor. Not only did it smell bad, but he also felt a slight stinging sensation in his throat and trachea.

"How can you throw poison gas bombs at home? Open the windows quickly."

……

Despite Emma's stern warning, the two ultimately did not go upstairs to check.

Then, Kang's urging voice came from outside, and Little Finn slipped away with his schoolbag on his back.

Milo squinted, Ge You sprawled on the sofa, listening to Emma's footsteps coming from the ceiling.

Recalling the glimpse he had caught of Emma in her study room earlier, he secretly wondered what the girl was up to.

The old bottles and jars in the study room, and the image of her wrapped in several thick cotton-padded coats late at night.

It doesn't look like they're seriously studying at all.

"Forget it, who cares about her?"

Milo touched the scabbed scar on his fist, and occasionally fragments of memories that didn't belong to him would flash through his mind.

Carl Barnes' short life was filled with tragic and bloody scenes, and the ensuing mysteries occupied Milo's entire mind, giving him a splitting headache.

Milo remained silent for a long time, his expression slightly complicated.

Although this spying session caused him immense suffering, leaving him without food or water for two days, he didn't feel his choice was wrong. Compared to Robben's manic memories, the information provided by Carl's memories as an undercover law enforcement officer was far more valuable...

The forces involved are numerous and complex, including law enforcement, the Solomon Islands, nobles, and even the Church.

Neither Nero nor Rebecca's descriptions of Karl are anything more than a very superficial one.

This man was so complex that even after reviewing his experiences, Milo still couldn't offer a suitable summary. The most crucial point is that Carl's death was far too suspicious…

……

"Bang bang bang."

A series of knocks on the door pulled Milo back to reality from his chaotic thoughts.

"Who?"

He sauntered over and opened the door, only to find Enid, the little wildcat, standing outside.

She was still dressed as a student, carrying a small leather backpack. Seeing Milo open the door, she immediately grinned, revealing two cute little fangs, and uttered the same lines as Finn:
"You're not dead?"

"It's only been a few days since the Day of the Dead, can't we say something auspicious?" Milo turned and walked into the house.

"Where's Emma? I heard she hasn't been feeling well these past few days, so I came to check on her."

Enid entered the house with an air of familiarity, closed the door, and casually tossed her small backpack onto the sofa.

Just as she was about to go upstairs, Emma appeared at the bottom of the stairs.

"I am fine."

Her face was as haggard as ever, and her brows were full of exhaustion.

"Let me see, let me see, my poor little Emma." Enid immediately reached out and cupped Emma's face in her paws, giving it a good rub, demonstrating her superb cat-petting skills.

She's the only one in this house who would dare treat Emma like that.

Emma simply swatted Enid's hand away and said to her:
"You two stay quiet. I'm preparing for my year-end exams, so don't bother me. I'll come down for lunch."

After saying that, she floated upstairs.

"You've been on leave of absence for so long, do you still have to take the exam? How about I help you apply for a deferred exam?" Enid asked.

"If I take the exam, I'll waste the whole academic year. As long as I can pass the exam, I can advance to the fourth year. I don't want to be your junior next year."

Emma left after saying that.

"Go for it, baby!"

Enid waved her hands and shouted into the air.

“Okay, baby.” Milo, slumped on the sofa, shamelessly replied.

Enid rolled her eyes in annoyance, strolled to the dining table, grabbed a piece of bread without ceremony, and started eating it, mumbling indistinctly as she chewed:

"It's no use trying now. The law enforcement assessment is in a week. Did you not look at any of the materials I gave you last time?"

She casually sat down next to Milo, placing her boots directly on the small table in the classic "lumbar spine destroyer" sitting posture.

"The assessment is in a week."

Milo raised an eyebrow, but there was no hint of urgency in his tone.

"You really are... never mind, it's really too much to ask an outsider like you to pass the exam by cramming. Just work hard for another year. Those who fail will have another chance to take the exam the following year. Consider this a real test, and it's good to experience the atmosphere."

After learning about Milo's true abilities last time, Enid basically gave up hope on him. Students with relevant majors had to complete four full academic years of study to have a very low chance of passing the exam. For someone like Milo who took the exam without any preparation, there was basically no chance of a miracle.

"It just so happens that I'll be taking the law enforcement exam next year when I graduate, and we'll be in the same cohort. With you here, my ranking is guaranteed to rise by one place, hehehe..."

As Enid spoke, she started laughing like a complete idiot.

"You're quite the talker." Milo rubbed his temple with one hand, looking speechless.

"Oh, you can just treat it as an experience, right?" Enid said with a grin.

"You can take a nap during the written exam. There's a comprehensive exam the next day, and you'll get to handle the firearms that law enforcement officers are equipped with. You've probably never touched a gun before, right? Aren't you excited? Hehe."

"There's also a comprehensive exam?" Milo's brow furrowed.

“Yeah, how come you don’t even know this?” Enid stuffed another piece of bread into her mouth and mumbled indistinctly:

“Previously, law enforcement assessments were only for military academy teams. Back then, the comprehensive exam was the main assessment, with weapons, combat skills, and physical fitness being the main focus. However, later, in order to improve the quality of law enforcement teams, the assessment was reformed so that students from all colleges and universities with matching levels and majors could take the exam. Therefore, the written exam became the main one, and the comprehensive exam became a secondary assessment, a bonus point. After all, what student would know how to handle knives and guns?”

"All candidates have to take a comprehensive exam?" This was the first time Milo had ever heard of this.

"Of course! It's not just the test takers; we reserve soldiers who haven't graduated yet can also go to the law enforcement training ground to watch. All the sisters in my dorm have already signed up. Just thinking about it is so exciting! We'll be watching over a thousand of you masturbate, hehe." Enid waved her little fist, clearly looking forward to that day.

"Thousands of people watching a fight together..." Milo felt sweat starting to bead on his forehead again, thinking to himself, does this girl even know what she's saying...?

"Okay, I'll call you and show you later."

"Who wants to see you? We're going to see our dear senior, Colin." Enid scoffed. "Senior Colin is the number one student in our major this year, the most handsome man in the entire Nanwei Academy. Not only is his theoretical knowledge unmatched, but he also comes from a military family and received training from a young age. He's proficient in firearms and hand-to-hand combat. He's the heartthrob of all the girls in our academy and the most likely to win first place in the assessment!"

When talking about her beloved senior, Colin, Enid seemed quite excited, her face beaming with admiration. If it weren't for the bread in her mouth, she would have been drooling.

"I'll tell you which one is Senior Colin then. You should learn from him, little brother, and try your best to pass the assessment next year."

Enid gently patted Milo's messy hair.

Milo smiled and said:

"Yay, I can play handgun with Senior Colin, just thinking about it makes me so excited."

"Try being sarcastic again?"
