Who hid My Corpse!-Chapter 124 - 24 You better tell me now what exactly is going on

Gerard immediately rushed out of the house and looked around.

But because his eyes were still not fully recovered from using the power of his left eye, he couldn't see far and naturally couldn't find the person Bai Wei mentioned. Without intending to trick him into using his left eye at this critical moment, Bai Wei calmly pointed out the direction, "The top floor of the third house on the right, lying there."

Gerard immediately looked, and indeed, he saw a small dot flashing on the house Bai Wei mentioned.

Clearly, the other side had realized their whereabouts were exposed and quickly retreated.

Gerard chased after immediately, shouting in his mind, "I can't see him clearly! Help me find him!"

"No problem," Bai Wei said lightly, "This level can still be included in the deal terms, considering how sincere you were towards me earlier, I'll just... ah, turn left."

Gerard stumbled, nearly falling, but managed to adjust promptly and quickly turned into the alley on the left.

"And then?!" Gerard continued to ask.

"Go straight, then turn right... ah, no, keep going straight, ah, wrong, turn right."

This string of commands completely confused Gerard, and after several turns, he didn't know which way to go and immediately questioned Bai Wei in his mind, "What do you mean?!"

"Keep calm, I'm not messing with you," Bai Wei said. "It's really your friend's issue; he's more frantic than you, running around without knowing where to go, like a headless fly... ah, now go straight, fast."

Gerard always felt Bai Wei was playing him, but he had no choice; right now, he couldn't see where the other party was.

This area was vast, housing thousands of families in its prime since it was established in Lyra City, and began tackling pollution. Generations of "Knights of Night Star" and their families have lived here. Although people are mostly gone now, the houses remain, making it too easy to hide someone, and Gerard couldn't search every house.

So now, Gerard had no choice but to follow Bai Wei's directions.

Fortunately, Bai Wei's commands normalized a lot afterward, with clear instructions to turn left or right, which allowed him to run more smoothly.

Gradually, Gerard seemed to hear another set of footsteps just a few houses away, and he should be able to catch up soon.

"To put it straight, the guy's gear is better than yours, with at least both legs being prosthetics," Bai Wei's voice rang in Gerard's mind again. "He's much faster than you, but he clearly doesn't know the terrain well and has run into dead-ends several times, and that's how you've slowly caught up."

Bai Wei's words didn't relieve Gerard; his heart sank instead.

If that person really was Helmo, he shouldn't be so unfamiliar with this place.

For outsiders who are not familiar with this residential area, its layout is no doubt similar to a maze, but for the Night Stars, this place is home.

Could someone really forget the way home?

Though there was a possibility that the pollution affected his memory, he clearly still remembered Shana.

So, was that person really Helmo?

If so, why hasn't he come back to find me?

If not, then who is he?

At that moment, Gerard recalled the question Bai Wei had earlier asked him: "If possible, would you rather have your comrades survive to this day or forever die in that Polluted Land?"

Gerard clenched his fists.

That truth, he had chased it for ten years, ten full years.

Over these ten years, he had countless nightmares, each pulling him back to that year, but they only allowed him to recall fragmented bits, never enough to reach the truth.

But now, was he finally about to get in touch with it?

If that really was Helmo, would he know everything?

Would he tell me everything?

Gerard didn't know; he just quickened his steps, leaving one empty house after another behind him, like tombstones.

This gave Gerard a sense of déjà vu.

As if those countless Night Star Knights who died for Lyra over the centuries were silently watching him now.

Bai Wei's voice suddenly broke Gerard's contemplation: "Bad news, this guy is heading to the station. Once he gets on a train, it's going to be much harder to handle, right?"

Gerard suddenly came to his senses, only then realizing that, unbeknownst to him, they were almost at the station.

As Bai Wei had said, once the other person got on the train, it would really be troublesome.

Because although "Rim Station" was not very busy with passengers boarding or disembarking, the stations before and after "Rim Station" were always bustling, meaning there would definitely be many people on the gear train, which would greatly increase the variables.

Gerard hastened his pace, wanting to catch up with the other immediately, but they were already here, and there was no question of the other getting lost. The more outstanding metallic prosthetics obviously allowed for faster movement compared to Gerard's seventy percent flesh legs. Realizing this, Gerard could only growl softly, "What should I do?!"

"Simple," Bai Wei said indifferently, "See the house in front of you? Crash through it."

Gerard widened his eyes, and after a moment of astonishment, he understood Bai Wei's intent.

Although his subconscious felt this was not good, Gerard saw a new batch of gear trains approaching on the distant gear tracks, knowing he had no time to hesitate. He gritted his teeth and fiercely crashed into the house in front of him.

Then…

"Boom," "Boom," "Boom," "Boom."

He successively broke through four walls of two houses.

Afterward, like a speeding gear train, he directly sent a running figure flying several meters away.

The person was hit so hard they vomited blood, but before they could even try to get up, Gerard had already grabbed them by the collar and hoisted them up.

"Is it you? Helmo…"

"Don't, don't kill me!" Before the person could finish speaking, they pleaded, "Don't kill me!"

Gerard's expression froze.

This wasn't Helmo; it was a completely unfamiliar face.

From the clothing, it seemed to be an ordinary member of the Bone Squad.

In that moment, endless fury and disappointment surged in Gerard's heart, and he shouted at the man, "Why are you following me?!"

This member of the Bone Squad was notably frightened but still managed through clenched teeth to say, "You killed a clerk yesterday, and today you're closely linked to another dead clerk. The whole city is looking for you! And you're asking me why I'm following you? This is my goddamn job!"

Hearing this, the anger on Gerard's face gradually faded, shifting to a mixture of complexity and loss.

He released the panic-stricken Bone Knight and coldly dropped the comment, "Yesterday's kill was mine, but today… I've got nothing to do with it, it's not related to me, stop following me."

With that said, not giving the knight a chance to retort, Gerard turned and walked away.

However, he had barely taken two steps when he heard Bai Wei slowly start to speak.

"I suggest you take a careful look at his back; you might find a surprise."

Gerard hesitated for a moment, then suddenly turned back, staring intently at the Bone Knight who was trying to get up.

At that moment, the Bone Knight was bent over, their back arching high, allowing Gerard to catch sight of something abnormal bulging under the shirt, as if hiding something.

Gerard's memory instantly flashed back to the gear train the previous night.

Thinking of this, he stepped forward again and, before the knight could rise, directly reached for his upper clothing.

"What are you doing…" The Bone Knight, sensing something amiss, instinctively tried to resist, but he was no match for Gerard, who almost instantly tore the clothes apart.

Then, Gerard saw on the back of the Bone Knight,

Two additional mechanical arms,

Which were even the same model as Ocot's from the previous night.

Gerard stepped back a few paces.

"Cough, cough, cough…" The Bone Knight coughed and cursed, "Gerard, this kind of action is…"

Boom!

A massive Chainsaw Sword was positioned at the Bone Knight's neck, instantly silencing him. He instinctively looked up and met those eyes filled with cold intent.

"You'd better tell me right now what this is all about."
