“Damn it! A bunch of maggots that only know how to dig holes in the cheese!”

Officer Costa looked at the raggle-filled street and couldn’t contain his anger. Once was fine, but there was actually a second time.

Just now, a group of people had rushed to the street and detonated a bomb, shattering the glass of the entire street.

Water spurted out of several fire hydrants, and there were also the wails of passersby nearby.

“Costa, where did that group of people go?”

Bruny had just arrived with a large group of people, and when he saw the scene in front of him, his face was so shocked that it was twisted.

This was too arrogant!

This was simply an act of war!

“I don’t know. When the explosion ended, these people disappeared into thin air, just like that,” he said.

At that moment, Costa recalled the pizza shop on this street that had called the police a few days ago.

“He rolled down the window and smiled. Then, he disappeared like magic!”

Thinking about what the pizza delivery man had said to the police, Officer Costa fell into deep thought.

‘Two times, in the same place. It’s not a coincidence.’

Seeing that Officer Costa was deep in thought, Bruny ordered his men to carry out the rescue as he asked, “Do you have any clues, Costa?”

“I have some ideas, Sir Bruny. Thank you for your help,” replied Costa.

“We haven’t been in contact recently. Have you found out the purpose of these people coming to Rome? If we know their motive, I think we can unmask their magic.”

Bruny pondered for a moment and said, “Although it sounds ridiculous, this group of people’s goal might be the antiques.

“My men have reported to me that someone hired them to collect a special kind of gold coin.

“The style is completely different from the one excavated by archeologists. We just thought it was fake.

“But the strange thing is, this thing …”

Bruny took out a Nero Gold Coin from his chest. “I don’t need to hide it from you now. This thing can give people extraordinary strength.”

Following Bruny’s introduction, Costa fell into silence.

This was too supernatural.

“However, perhaps only such supernatural things could make people so crazy,” explained Bruny.

He was about to activate his ability to show Costa, but the latter stopped him.

“Sir Bruny, I believe you are telling the truth. You’d better not activate this coin here. It might bring you to the enemy’s base.”

Bruny was shocked and came back to his senses.

“What do you mean?”

“Let me show you what I mean.”Costa extended his hand to Bruny. “Can you lend me this gold coin?”

Bruny handed over the gold coin in his hand and said, “I don’t mind. I still have quite a few of these things. But, Costa, are you going to do your own experiment?”

Costa took the gold coin with a gloomy expression.

“I can’t do much. I have a premonition that a terrifying era is about to begin. This matter will, at most, be the tip of the iceberg.

“The true terror is far from here.

“Our country can’t be kept in the dark and let these terrorists continue doing this.”

As he said that, Costa checked the bullets in his pistol.

“If I disappear, Sir Bruny, I’ll leave the rest to you. Those criminals must disappear from this world.

“Although I’ve been calling you Sir, I really look down on you. You’re a malignant tumor in Italy, but now I can only rely on people like you.

“Goodbye, Italy.”

As Costa’s voice fell, he instantly disappeared into thin air.

In the direction where Officer Costa disappeared, Bruny drew a cross in front of himself. “May God bless you, Costa.”

Then, he took out his phone.

“Gather.”

Meanwhile, at Rome Inverted…

The battle had entered a heated state. Even Jin Yuchen did not expect a fight to break out in the city.

‘This firepower is a little outrageous.’

The frequency of the explosions was higher than he had expected.

Apart from the holder of the ticket, some equipment could also be brought in, but it was not possible to bring in too much.

For example, he could teleport himself over, but a car couldn’t.

There was a limit to what an intruder could hold.

Otherwise, given the abilities of the tomb-raiding organizations in his future life, they could have brought tanks and planes in.

Then, there would be no room for a meager mercenary like him to display his skills.

‘This ridiculous amount of ammunition… They must be Sophie’s cyborgs.’

Jin Yuchen made a reasonable guess.

He had dealt with these cyborgs in his previous life, so he had some understanding of them.

These cyborgs were basically disposable items. The digestive and excretory organs in their torsos had been removed, and they were all relying on cell storage.

Due to a large number of empty spaces in their bodies, these cyborgs could carry numerous weapons in their bodies.

It was normal for everyone to fire a few rockets.

Jin Yuchen was starting to pity his master in name, Alfonnius.

It was definitely not a good feeling to face the attack of such a hot weapon.

It was no wonder that they were forced to retreat back into the city.

‘However, it’s still limited, and they’ll lose sooner or later. I have to hurry up and find Nero.’

Thinking of this, Jin Yuchen started running around the city.

He roughly knew Nero’s location.

He was at the Grand Theater. The dead were different from the living, and there were not many things that they could enjoy physically.

The palace that could satisfy his carnivorous desire could not satisfy Nero now.

The arena was not open yet, so it was self-evident where Nero, the self-proclaimed poet, was.

He would not be on the front line anyway.

Jin Yuchen found the theater based on the information from his previous life and opened the door.

It wasn’t that he wanted to use the main entrance, but it was almost useless to sneak in.

The tomb owners had a certain level of control over the tomb. As long as one approached them, they would be able to sense it.

This information came after lots of bloodsheds.

Walking through it openly was the least exhausting path.

The light in the theater was dim. Nero was wearing a mask in the middle of the stage, holding a staff and performing intoxicatedly.

Jin Yuchen clapped as he walked down.

“What a beautiful performance. What great art!

“But Your Majesty, your citizens are being attacked. Are you not going to do anything?”

Hearing Jin Yuchen’s joking tone, Nero put down his staff, and a red light came from behind his mask.

“I didn’t expect a barbarian like you to know about art.

“Those people betrayed me a long time ago, including Alfonnius. I’m not interested in what they do.

“They only need to cheer for me now.”

As Nero’s voice fell, a big fire rose in the Grand Theater, illuminating the scene.

Many skeletons in Roman robes sat in the audience stands, and thunderous applause rang out at the same time.
