26 The secret behind the title (1/2)

The first image that entered Sheyan viewed, was the corpse of a Los Angeles policeman. The corpse had a horrified expression, with pale white hands still clutching his chest tightly. Fresh blood was oozing out a small hole on his neck.

Five similar looking corpses were spread out across the living room. The air released a stench of death and blood.

At the corner of the living room, there was a dying Los Angeles policeman struggling as he held onto the fresh wound on his neck. Blood splattered everywhere as his throat could only squeeze out choking sounds. That was the sound of a windpipe having been slit. His eyes were reddened white and his eyeballs rolled up. At present, his hair was being tugged by a hand in a white glove. That familiar bearded man whom Sheyan had came across twice, raised his head and glanced at Sheyan with an astounded look.

Both their eyes interlocked. The intensity of their gaze felt like it could spark a fire, as both remained motionless.

Followed by, an awkward pause.

Then, Sheyan leaned his head in. Glancing at the bodies lying on the ground, he then coldly said.

”Looks like you are trying to complete the ‘Treacherous ally’ milestone?”

The ‘Treacherous ally’ milestone requirement was to slaughter 50 policemen in this world. Beardy was specifically acting against Los Angeles policemen, which was why Sheyan could immediately accuse him of that. Beardy then gently released the policeman, before replying softly.

”That’s right.”

Sheyan could feel this person’s indifferent and contemptuous spirit, as he slipped out an unknown grin. According to the norm, the close combat specialist Sheyan should be trying to shorten the distance between his opponent. Yet Sheyan was actually retreating with an imposing look in his face, lifting his shirt, he pressed his hand on the holster of the M500 pistol lodged to his waist. It was as though he was going to pull the pistol out and start firing the next second.

Obviously, Sheyan was trying to give an impression of a gunman, with that threatening look and retreating stance, his goal was to invite his opponent to charge towards him. But when the moment comes when his opponent burst forth against him…..

Instead, Beardy was rather experienced and knowledgeable. With one glance he could tell the pistol on Sheyan’s waist was the terrifying weapon known as the ‘hand cannon’. His expression changed while saying.

”What do you want?”

Sheyan answered irrelevantly.

”You are pretty bold, killing policemen will greatly increase your crime index. In the end the Delta anti-terror task force would target you. Aren’t you not one bit afraid?”

Beardy stared intently at Sheyan before replying.

”Do you know the attributes rewarded from attaining the title for completing ‘Treacherous ally’?”

After listening, Sheyan remained emotionless and replied.

”I have detailed information about the T-750 Terminator on hand.”

Both parties possessed something beneficial to the other, although there was no movement, the real battle was within the conversation itself. Sheyan’s information stirred Beardy’s heart, as he curiously pursued.

”Why not we exchange through our nightmare imprint? I’ll exchange information on the title ‘Treacherous ally’ in addition to the method of killing policemen without repercussions of being wanted, for your information.”

Sheyan had pondered earlier about this method. The nightmare imprint during a trade had an acknowledgement criteria, which would ensure that both parties could trade information with ease. However, its flaw was that utility points had to be used as trading fees. Cutting off a segment of the T-750 Terminator information, and an additional 50 points of utility points given to his Nightmare imprint, Sheyan very quickly received a relevant report.
