Chapter 140 Someone Participated in the Murder!!!
"You little rascal! Where did you go slacking off just now? Don't you know the captain and staff officer are really worried!"
Daigo's body obediently shifted slightly as Shinjo embraced him.
He still smiled, but his voice was hollow: "I'm sorry... Xincheng team members, I just... got lost, and made everyone... worry."
"Lost? You, as a member of the GUTS team, can get lost in an amusement park?" Shinjo scoffed, pretending to punch Daigo in the chest as a joke.
"It seems I'll have to give Daigo some extra directional training when we get back," Kaur said as he slowly walked over.
He could see the internal structure of the puppet in front of him clearly.
This is an empty shell puppet forcibly created by the extradimensional being Kiranbo using some kind of illusion magic and the remnants of humans whose dreams have been absorbed.
The purpose was clearly to buy time and stabilize the winning team, thereby providing cover for the public divine punishment by Kirieloid and Enermina at sunrise tomorrow.
"Officer Kaul"
When Lina saw Caul approaching, she quickly stood up straight and bowed, while also somewhat awkwardly adjusting her catwoman costume. After all, this outfit was a bit too casual for a leader, even though Caul had changed into it first...
"Yes, thank you for your hard work, Lina." Kaul nodded, then looked at Daigo.
"Daigo: Why didn't you say hello to me? Did you eat too much candy outside and your vocal cords got sweetened?" Kaul looked at him with a half-smile and walked up to the puppet Daigo.
Daigo's eyes darted around before finally settling on Kaul.
In the preset program entered by Kiranbo, characters at the level of Staff Officer Caul need to maintain the highest level of disguise to avoid being exposed.
"Hello... Staff Officer Caul. I'm so sorry about earlier." He stiffly prepared to give a standard bow.
"Is our relationship that bad? Daigo, come here, Advisor, give me a hug," Kaul said, opening his arms and rushing to hug Daigo, giving him a bear hug and aiming straight for Daigo's shoulder.
However, unexpectedly, Kaul's hand trembled slightly and hit Daigo's chin.
Then, under everyone's gaze, Lina's scream finally broke the silence of the few people present.
Durban was shocked, but after he came to his senses, he clapped his hands. Shinjo was also stunned, and Lina's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
Because Daigo's head, while in Kaul's arms, slid off smoothly and rolled directly to the ground, landing at Rena's feet.
"Murder!!! The staff officer killed Daigo!!!" Rena screamed, staring into Daigo's eyes as he looked down at her from the ground.
"Officer, you can't do this!" Shinjo didn't react at first, but immediately pulled out his Hyper gun and pointed it at Kaul. "Even if Daigo slacked off for a while while you were sleeping, you can't kill him!"
Seeing the incompetence of his two subordinates, Kaul nodded and pointed to Daigo's head lying on the ground.
After being pointed at, Shinjo finally noticed that not a drop of blood was flowing from Daigo's head, so he was relieved and carefully examined Daigo's headless body, even poking it with his hand.
"Lina, take a closer look. Is this Daigo? Don't forget it's Halloween." Kaul opened his arms, revealing the puppet Daigo's true form.
The puppet Daigo, illuminated by the light, revealed its true form: its head on the ground was a large pumpkin, and its body was made up of a pile of small pumpkins.
Seeing the puppet Daigo revealed in his true form, Rena and Shinjo felt a little embarrassed, as they had actually talked to Pumpkin for quite a while.
"Officer Kaul, what's going on? Why has Daigo turned into a pumpkin? Has Daigo been captured?" Lina was still not quite sure.
"These monsters, still alive, are playing tricks on us!"
"Judging from the looks of it, Daigo has definitely been captured. And this is Kiranbo's illusion, one of her most frequently used methods. Her purpose is simple: to deceive us and buy time."
"What about the real Daigo?" Rena stepped forward, extremely worried. "Is he in any danger?"
Shinjo was very worried when he heard this. Although he usually liked to joke with Daigo, Daigo was his partner in life and death, and he would not sit idly by.
Kaul looked at the two of them, but he didn't answer. After all, he didn't know what was happening to Daigo. According to the original timeline, the little monster Durban should have made its first appearance with the traveling circus when the demon god Enomina first attacked humans and used violent electromagnetic waves to cause civilians to kill each other.
The Kieranbo Halloween Dream Space incident, on the other hand, was a completely separate theft targeting children's dreams.
These two events should have been completely unrelated in terms of time, place, and causality.
But... the little guy who's showing up here now makes him feel like he's not so simple.
It's really strange that Durban would appear at this time...
"Durban..." Kaul crouched down and looked at Durban in front of him. He reached out and released some points of light from his body.
"?" Durban blinked.
"Durban, don't be afraid, we are friends, and I won't hurt you."
Kaul gently pointed to the pumpkin puppet on the ground: "Tell me, why are you here? And do you know where that big brother in the mummy costume was taken?"
Durban turned his head and glanced at the pumpkins on the ground.
Durban waved its two short, chubby little hands, its little face showing fear and anxiety.
It anxiously circled twice, uttering a series of short, high-pitched cries, and even pointing its finger incessantly at the increasingly thick white fog in the sky, and the invisible crevices belonging to another dimension deep within the fog.
However, to Lina and Shinjo, it was just the monster's random ramblings.
"Officer, what is Durban saying?" Lina asked anxiously. "Does it know where Daigo is? Can we use the TPC's language translator?"
However, Kaul understood it perfectly.
"You're saying...they've teamed up? The Kirieloids, the Enemina, the Kiranbo, they've all teamed up against humanity."
Durban even used his power to create a picture in Kaul's mind.
It's a scene of the Kirieloids, Kiranbo, and Enermina gathered together, discussing how to deal with Daigo and TPC.
"So that's how it is... These guys are all together..." Caul revealed a feeling of surprise, yet also of course.
"Officer, what did Durban say to you?"
Lina was very anxious and wanted to know.
