Chapter 149: I Dare You to Take Another Step!

Miles looked at the three people coming towards him in blue uniforms. Law enforcing officers, also known as Police officers kept their identities and titles even after the monster invasion. After all, it was a system tested for hundreds of years in almost every country. There werent always just but with the use of AIs and technology things were brighter. Until this day, Miles would never suspect a police officer, but now he was having suspicions.

Their expressions weren't suitable for their occupations. They had to be neutral and fair, but they looked at Miles like he was a dirty criminal. But before even knowing what he did, how could they judge him?

'Did they come to execute me or protect the girl?' Miles thought to himself and whispered silently. Coin, send a message to Merlin, tell him to come as soon as possible.

Alright, sent. Coin answered hurriedly. Coin kept quiet too. He was after all different from the other wristwatches and AIs, if the police station were to break him apart and search its memory, even he couldnt protect Miless secrets. The only option would be killing himself with the hardware, also known as self-destruction.

At this time, three officers arrived where Miles was. One in the front opened the clip of his holster and drew his gun and pointed it to Miles's head, Kneel on the ground, put your hands above your head! Hand your wristwatch over!

Why? Miles asked in surprise. It was a simple question he blurted out without even thinking about it. Why would I? You have no right to do these to me in the first place. What audacity! Even if they think I hurt the children, they shouldnt treat me like this.

Why are they so eager to put the blame on me? As technology advanced and superpowers became the norm of society, laws changed too. With the help of AIs assisting, extrajudicial execution, passing the buck, and blaming without evidence become a thing of the past. And presumptions were that things had long stopped being used.

Then, if they knew its existence, why was it still there? Why havent they killed those criminals and saved those children? That was the reason why Miless killing intent exploded.

Good, good. I wouldnt believe it if I didnt see it with my own eyes. There are still concepts of dirty cops! Miles said.

Stop sullying our reputation, low life. Drop your weapon and release the hostage! Police said and lowered his weapon. Miles understood their intentions and fell back. They were trying to hit his vitals by shooting their friends non-vital parts, but Miles wouldnt let them. He hid behind a wall and waited for Merlin to arrive.

You go and take the girl. The lead officer said the one on his side. Miless pupils dilated as he heard them speak. He couldnt let them do as they wished, but he was helpless against them. The enemy was Form-Rank and the one at the lead was at the peak of it. He had no chance to fight against them.

What should I do? Miles thought to himself. When he fell back, he had to go further away from the room where the girl was taken to, in order to hide behind the wall. Now if he exposed himself, they would shoot at him at the cost of killing their comrades. Miles didnt have any power against them even with the armor.

Miles had a bow and arrows, but they couldnt threaten police officers with their powers. Only if they waited for him to kill them would the arrows pierced them. Miles was desperate. But at this time a voice was heard behind the lead police officer.

I dare you to take another step.
