Chapter 655: We Need To Talk
Translator: Dess Editor: EbonyFrost
Kieran wasn't surprised when he saw Teresa following them in her cruiser .
Teresa wasn't the young officer beside him . After the horrifying assault from the enemy, if Teresa were to let Hoskin continue his watch over Kieran alone, Kieran would have to re-evaluate how Teresa had gotten promoted to chief officer in the first place .
"She looks furious but is actually very calm and knows that the coming down on us harder will only produce a backlash effect, instead she allowed us to move freely and followed us on her own . So the infuriated rage back there was just an act I assume?"
Kieran couldn't help but laugh .
He didn't mind being followed by the chief officer, even from a certain aspect, Kieran hoped that she would follow them .
After all, compared to Hoskin beside him, Teresa seemed to grasp more information about the Winchester House's explosion .
It was an important aspect for Kieran in search of his main mission because Kieran had sufficient reason to believe his main mission was related to Winchester House's explosion or at least one of the lead clues .
Otherwise, he wouldn't have gotten the room key in his pocket .
There was also a possibility that both things were totally unrelated but the chances were slim .
Every dungeon world was like a real world in itself . While trying to find the main mission in a real world that would change every day because of different things, it was like searching a needle in a haystack . The difficulty level was enough to let one feel despair .
What if it really happened?
Kieran who was doubtful in nature started to look at the matter seriously unconsciously .
"If it really happens, then I will need to change my perspective of things . Every dungeon world might be as vast as the real world but there is a traceable track surrounding a theme . The main mission is closely related to these themes, just like the newbie dungeon was "survival", the first detective one was "search" and the prison on the island was "spirit beings" which also derived into the shaman dungeon with the mystical realm . After that was "foreign matter", "fiends", and "war"!"
"So… What is the current dungeon theme? Or what does the system want me to do?"
Kieran squinted his eyes and recalled his previous dungeon runs in detail but unfortunately, he couldn't get anything out of it .
It was just less than a day since Kieran entered the dungeon world and without any related memories, it was difficult for him to identify the theme of the dungeon .
Ultimately, Kieran took a deep breath and put aside the useless thoughts for the time being .
He started to focus on the useful information at hand .
"Do you know anything solid about the person that we are going to find?" Kieran asked .
"That guy's name is Barney, nicknamed "Jackal" . He was the boss of the neighborhood where I used to patrol . A drug-addicted bastard and was suspected of a murder when he was younger but eventually was pardoned by the judge because of the lack of evidence . However, the trial made his notoriety higher instead, he started to gather a group of people to sell illegal drugs . After that, he spent two years taking over that neighborhood's underground business . Every prostitute, thug, nightclub, and gambling lair was under his control, so if anything illegal happened there, chances are it is related to him!"
Hoskin looked hateful when he stated all of these .
For a young police officer with a heart of justice, he wouldn't allow such a human trash to exist in society .
Kieran, however, was concerned about another thing .
"Even if he relied on the notoriety of a "murderer" to cheat many of his men, but without a certain level of power, he couldn't have truly taken control of a whole neighborhood . Besides, it was not any John Doe that could be nicknamed "Jackal", he might be at least cunning and vicious like one . "
A person's name might be wrongly given by their parents but a nickname from others wasn't the case .
"This kind of guy wouldn't be concerned about an explosive case without a reason . " Kieran was getting sure of it .
After half an hour, Kieran and Hoskin reached the entrance of a nightclub .
"Dancing Diva" .
The offed neon sign spelled as such, the entrance was closed tight and the trash before the steps hadn't been cleared . For any nightclub out there, it was at night when it came alive . When the sun rose up high and before it set, it would be closed .
Of course, it was only news for those who didn't know what was going on inside .
"Here!"
Hoskin glanced over the trash on the ground and quickly turned into an alleyway like he was walking on a familiar road .
At the end of the alleyway was a small short door .
"Those trash outside is actually the secret code for knocking . "
