Chapter 214: Prey

The plan of the Orange Cat mercenary group was confirmed, and the six of them quietly left the factory and headed to the location where Jacques suspected.

The first site was a brick house, rented by many families of workers, and was the first target of Jacques's suspicion.

"Dididi!"

The whistle blew, and it didn't take long for Ringer to bring people over, and when he saw that it was Jacques and the others, he didn't think of Jacques and their patrol area, and he didn't know that they had actually left their posts without permission.

Originally, Telinger also thought that since three people had died, this siege should have failed, but it was just a matter of delaying it until dark to announce the results, but he didn't expect the whistle to sound again.

Jacques pointed to the multi-storey brick building behind him and said, "We saw a man in black fur enter this building!"

Hearing the word "black fur", Tlinger couldn't help but feel in good spirits, and previous witnesses also said that the perpetrator was wearing black fur, and the opportunity was rare, Tlinger immediately led people to rush into the multi-storey brick building, first blocking the stairwell and corridor, and then knocking on doors from house to door, or breaking down doors to look for suspicious people.

Unfortunately, after tossing for half an hour, and searching the factories and shops near the brick building, but finding nothing, Durlinger left with regretful shaking his head.

There was no choice but for Jacques and the others to go to the second place of suspicion, an inn.

This time the whistle sounded again, and Ringer had no good face when he saw Jacques, and he suspected that Jacques was lying about the situation, but for Paul's sake, he couldn't attack, and Jacques swore that he had seen the black fur prisoner again.

In the spirit of giving it a try, Tlinger checked again, but this time he still found nothing, and before leaving, Tlinger tactfully told Jacques to return to his patrol area and see clearly before blowing the whistle.

After two consecutive misses, Jacques was also a little depressed, did he still have to check the third location? Could his own inference be wrong? Or did the prisoner escape early?

Jacques felt that if he found the prisoner's safe house, there must be some clues, so the possibility of missing it was ruled out, and the possibility that the third location was the prisoner's safe house was very likely.

In the end, he went to the third location with his somewhat frustrated companions, but this time he decided to investigate on his own first, and then he needed to recall Fat Orange, the best scout.

Just as they arrived at the third location, a row of old-fashioned two-story houses facing the street, intending to summon Fat Orange over, Fat Orange found some traces at the first crime location.

It was outside the window of the crime site, and Fat Orange saw three consecutive footprints on the ground a few meters away from the window.

In fact, it is not unusual for footprints to appear, but these three footprints are barefoot footprints and point to the window of the toilet.

The footprints were very fresh, and the grass stems that had been stepped on had not yet recovered, and the fat orange stepped on the ground next to him, and found that the ground was not very soft, so it was likely that the clear footprints were stepped on in the early morning when the humidity was high.

Although the winters in Yorktown, which has an ice-free port, are not very cold and do not snow for several years, it is rare to walk barefoot outside in such weather, and it is still in the early hours of the morning.

This confirms Jacques' inference that the toilet was a pre-chosen ambush for the prisoner, who had gone to hide it in the early hours of the morning.

Fat Tangerine re-entered the toilet, and soon found a less obvious footprint in the compartment next to the cell where the crime occurred, also stepped on barefoot.

Could it be that the prisoner hid in the cubicle and climbed over the chamber and attacked the victim with a mace from top to bottom?

Then why is he barefoot, yet wearing a black fur coat?

There are no new clues to be found at the scene, and Fat Orange is needed to investigate, so Jacques has to summon Fat Orange over.

After Fat Tangerine arrived, he climbed directly to the second floor of the townhouse, and with the "little trick" of quietly opening the window, Fat Tangerine opened the second-story window of the leftmost house and got in.

Soon, the fat orange that had no harvest came out again and moved on to the next one.

In this way, Fat Orange investigated seven companies in a row and found nothing, so he transferred to the eighth one.

Opening the window of the eighth house, Fat Tangerine entered the room familiarly, but as soon as he entered the room, Fat Tangerine smelled a smell that made him nasty, the body odor of animals, like a dog's, or that kind of large dog.

The room was a bit of a mess, with clothes and quilts piled up on the bed, and a small desk next to the bed, with books and pens in inkwells on the table indicating that the owner of the room often used the desk.

When Fat Tangerine wanted to go downstairs to check it out, there was a slight sound of footsteps on the stairs, which would have been difficult to detect if it weren't for Fat Tangerine's sensitive ears.

Turning around and running out of the window? Fat Orange hesitated for a moment, but decided to continue looking, so he lightly jumped off the convex belly window and got under the bed.

The faint sound of footsteps drew closer and closer, directly into the room. The visitor paused at the door, then went to the open window, closed it, and plugged it in and drew the curtains.

The room suddenly became dark, but the fat orange under the bed had already taken advantage of the good light to see the feet and calves of the person who went to close the window through the gap on the edge of the bed.

Fat Orange could barely tell that the thing that walked into the house was a human being, because he was walking on two feet, but judging from the black fur and sharp claw feet that appeared through the gaps, it was really hard to tell that they were human feet, maybe more like the paws of a huge black dog.

"Whew. ”

Two snorting sounds rang out, and then a dark shadow pressed down, covering the gap between the edge of the bed.

With a black-haired face, a pointed nose, a long mouth with long teeth, and eyes glowing green, not only Fat Orange was frightened, but even Jacques downstairs dropped the copper whistle in his hand to the ground.

This is probably not a dog, it should be a wolf staring at the fat orange hiding under the bed.

Fat orange complained in his heart, the emperor has been unfavorable recently, and he is always caught!

Jacques didn't hesitate to pick up the copper whistle on the ground and blew it vigorously, and when Lily and the others saw this, they also took out the copper whistle and blew it together, and the sharp whistle came and went.

The whistle affected the monster, and it gave up the fat orange under the bed, straightened up, and looked down through the gap in the curtains, and Jacques happened to look up at the upstairs window, meeting the faint green eyes.

Then the green eyes flashed, and Jacques judged that he was going to escape!

So he hurriedly shouted, "Lily!

As soon as he finished speaking, Jacques pulled out his long knife and slammed it into the door of the first floor of the house.

Lily's lightning quickly struck the bay window facing the street, shattering the glass and falling downward, and Jacques crashed open the wooden door in the "glass rain".

It is an old-fashioned narrow townhouse, with the usual layout of the living room and kitchen downstairs and one or two bedrooms upstairs, with stairs facing the door.

Knocking open the door, Jacques finally saw the monster in its entirety.

The full-body, black-haired monster was two meters tall and had a huge wolf head, and was standing on the stairs staring at Jacques with its teeth bared.

Its body retains the characteristics of the human body, standing and walking, but its limbs are extraordinarily thick, its hands and feet are particularly large, and its claws are exposed, its back is slightly bent, and it drags a thick tail.

The wolf-man hybrid stared at Jacques blocking the doorway with its green eyes, just now it tried to break through the window and escape from the roof, but was forced back by Lily's lightning arrows, he was about to retreat through the back door on the first floor, but he met Jacques who broke through the door and was blocked on the stairs.

Jacques noticed that it glanced upstairs, and guessed that it wanted to escape through the window again, so he shouted, "Lily, Fabian, block the upstairs window!

The monster understood Jacques' words, and immediately glared at Jacques with anger, opened its mouth, and let out a roar!

"Woo!"

The friends outside the door had already seen the monster, and they seemed to be frightened by it, and their movements were a little sluggish.

Jacques raised his long knife flat and shouted, "Don't be afraid! it's not strong, not even a sculptor, just watch out for its claws!"

This is the judgment given by Fat Orange, and Jacques believes in Fat Orange's experience.

Hearing this, Alyssa and the others hurriedly walked to the back of the room, and Lily had already jumped up to the second floor and entered the bedroom where Fat Tangerine was.

In fact, at this time, Jacques still has no bottom in his heart, even if this monster has not reached the shape of the Shaper, but judging from the previous details, its power is very large, one finger can penetrate the skull of the awakened, and the speed is also very fast, it can kill two people in an instant, and only leave a vague black back for the transcendent who happened to see it.

Hey, I probably played Trench and a few of their grandmasters badly, and they didn't rush to the whistle so actively when they heard the whistle, do they have to drag this monster by themselves?

In the moments of Jacques's thoughts, the monster leaped on the spot, and threw itself down the stairs with its claws outstretched, its claws pointed at Jacques.

It was going to knock down the person blocking the door in front of it, and then rush out of the house and run away from the street, because it knew that after the whistle, the grandmasters would arrive soon, and the woman who was the most stressed by it in the group happened to be not on the street.

Jacques didn't dare to fight it, so he took two steps back and retreated to the doorway, cutting his right horizontal knife into both claws.

The monster had always been confident in its claws, and instead of avoiding it, it tried to grab the blade with its right claw, and its left claw changed direction, digging into Jacques's chest from the bottom up.

It was just a complete miscalculation of this claw, and Jacques's long knife was so sharp that it left a cut in its right claw and cut off both of its claws.

The sharp pain in its right claw prevented its left claw from grasping solidly, and the sharp claws were blocked by the leather armor on Jacques's body, failing to penetrate the target's chest, leaving only a small hole in Jacques's chest.

Jacques, who had seized the opportunity, immediately attacked, flipped his wrist and stabbed forward, the tip of the long knife aimed at the monster's throat. This move changed quickly, the right hand exerted force, the left hand held the back of the knife, the body pounced forward, and concentrated the strength of the whole body on the tip of the knife, Jacques planned to take advantage of his illness to kill him.

Unfortunately, the monster was faster, leaned back slightly, and kicked at Jacques with a kick.

Jacques pressed his whole body too late to change his moves, and the tip of the knife only pierced the monster's chest shallowly, but he was kicked out of the way.

At this time, Lily ran to the stairs, Jacques and the monster Dian Shihuo saw two moves, and it was only a little more than a second, and on the stairs only saw Jacques pounce on it, but was kicked away, so he hurriedly cast a spell to attack the monster.

The monster kicked Jacques away, ignoring the spell being cast by Lily behind him, and immediately dodged through the doorway and ran down the street.

The monster took every step so far that it disappeared from the doorway, leaving Lily's pillar of light empty, and the second step was already up the street.

It looked back at the pillar of light passing behind it, a smile in its green eyes, it ran faster than an ordinary shaper could catch up.

But the smile only lasted for a moment, and then it went black and couldn't see anything.

A few meters away, Fabian lowered the bow in his hand, rubbed his index finger on the fingerguard on his thumb, looked at the monster that was pierced into his head by the feathered arrow, and said to Jacques who was struggling to stand up beside him: "Hehe, this wolf wants to be my prey!"
