Chapter 328: Thorn Demon

Bena's words made Aaron suddenly feel excited.

It's not that he cares about the money that the other party says, but that he finally began to gain something through the matter of "demon hunting".

You know, he has never been treated as nonsense by others before, but this time not only did someone believe him, but he was also willing to pay for himself to help, which is undoubtedly an improvement.

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Aaron tried to put on a calm and breezy look on his face, and asked some details about the case.

"By the way, the text message my mother sent me should still be here, you can take a look at ......"

Bena picked up the phone with a broken screen from the ground, and fiddled it in her hand but turned it on, it turned out that this thing was not all broken, at least it could barely be used after connecting the charger.

Aaron took the phone and looked at the text message that the other party called up, and the look on his face couldn't help but become more serious.

The message that Bena's mother left her was brief, just a few words:

There are monsters out there, don't go out!

"There's a monster out there, don't go out......?"

Aaron pondered this sentence in his mouth for a while, and for a moment it felt like the whole thing was a little confusing.

"If you look at it from this sentence alone, it means that the monster was probably outside your house at the time, and your parents met it when they first went out or when they came back......"

"Moreover, being able to have time for your mother to type out that paragraph shows that this monster did not subdue her with a single blow, in other words, the strength of this monster may not be too strong......"

Aaron paced up and down in the living room, desperately remembering what kind of monster could have behaved in this way in the stories that Grandfather Barr had told him.

"Scythe Demon? No, isn't it...... Their methods are usually brutal, and sneak attacks will also settle the fight in an instant, so that Bena's parents will not have a chance to send a text message......"

"Gluttony? It doesn't seem to be ...... I heard that these things are almost extinct, and the people who are attacked by them will hardly leave any corpses behind......"

"Hmm...... Could it be the Thorn Demon? It seems a bit like ...... They love to play pranks, and they are not very good at themselves, so if they are such inferior demons, it is really possible to make the victim react somewhat......"

Aaron thought for a while, and gradually had some clues, but he was still a little afraid to confirm it for the time being, and immediately asked Bena to take him to the scene of the crime to take a look.

The so-called crime scene is still uncertain, and it can only be said that the police suspect that it is in this open space in front of their house, because it is here that the bodies of Bena's parents were found.

The details of the body, Bena did not say, it seems that she does not seem to be very clear, after the police found it, they did the first thing to clean up.

According to Henry, the veteran police officer in charge of the case, the body has been highly decomposed after these days of storage, and in order to protect Bena's mental health, they burned it as soon as possible after conducting an investigation and collecting evidence, and did not give the victim's family a chance to see the body with their own eyes.

Aaron imagined that kind of picture, and he still felt a little uncomfortable, although he claimed to be a witcher, but at the same time he was an ordinary person.

He has not undergone any rigorous training, nor has he seen the real horror, even if he dares to look for monsters with his so-called fearless faith, but when faced with the corpses of his kind, he still has some cringe.

This seems to be a bit contradictory, but in fact it is very much in line with the style of a young man like him.

Eventually, the two stayed in front of the door of the small red house for a long time, and Aaron slowly expressed his inner guess after looking at the scene on the ground.

"Maybe, I know what's going on, huh...... But I'm not 100% sure yet, so I need to look into it......"

When Bena heard him, she immediately pricked up her ears and looked at the man with a look of surprise.

He got it? He could see what was going on with my parents. Could it be that this guy is really a witcher? That's too efficient, isn't it?

A series of thoughts came to Bena's mind, and she couldn't wait to ask for the details of the matter.

"Although I can't be sure yet, I'm almost seventy percent sure that there is probably not only one murderer who attacked your parents!"

"More than one!?"

Bena exclaimed.

"Yes, if I'm not mistaken, it should be the Thorn Demon who attacked your parents!"

Aaron nodded and explained solemnly.

"According to records, thorns are a lowly demon who usually lives in groups and is particularly fond of mischief. The strength of a single thorn demon is not very strong, and ordinary adults can defeat them, but once they are in groups, the level of harm will be greatly increased, and it is very dangerous! ”

"These thorns are very pranksters, and if they catch their prey, they usually don't kill them immediately, but torture them first, causing them to let out a painful wail. I'm afraid that's why your mother was able to send you a text message......"

When he said this, he also looked at Bena's face, saw that the other party looked stunned, and then turned into a cold and angry expression, and couldn't help but sigh slightly in his heart, and said secretly:

"It seems that I made the right decision to go out and hunt the monsters, but how many people in places I don't know are suffering from the monsters like this girl...... No, I must find the killers as soon as possible before they do it again! ”

Bena's face was extremely ugly at the moment, and the thought that her parents might have endured great pain before they died, her heart couldn't help but feel sad and angry.

After a long time, she held back her anger and asked, "Aaron, thank you, are you really sure that the murderers are those thorn demons?" ”

Aaron nodded first, then shook his head, and said, "No, I'm not sure, but I think it's very probable that they did it, you see here......"

As he spoke, he crouched down and pointed to some marks on the ground.

"Here are the needles of some plants, which are supposed to be on top of the pine trees, and generally speaking, the pine forest is one of the favorite places for thorn demons to live."

"And you look here, there are some very shallow little footprints here, and in terms of quantity, the owners of these footprints should have more than seven or eight, which is undoubtedly very consistent with their characteristics......"

Bena looked over and found that it was exactly as the other party said, and for a while she recognized what he said in her heart.

"These damn devils! Aaron, please, help me get rid of them! I'll pay you! You can do whatever you want! As long as you help me kill these devils and avenge my parents! ”
