Chapter XXIV

Nick looked back, but saw nothing. He was about to ask Aunt Mary if she was mistaken. But Aunt Mary turned her cane and pulled out a thin sword. With a nimble that did not resemble a seventy-year-old man at all, he swung his sword and stabbed at a tall figure in the shadow of the tree.

Nick was startled and was about to stop it. I saw that the other party was also holding a huge weapon in the shape of a sickle, and was entangled with Aunt Mary. Nick froze for three seconds before remembering to come forward to help. He is a detective in the murder team, and he is also very good in martial arts. I thought I could easily subdue my opponent from the back.

But I didn't expect a photo, and I was waved by the other party casually and pulled a heel. Nick struggled to get around, only to see the other party's facial expression distorted, and then turned into a monster with a blue face and fangs.

It was the hallucination again, and Nick snapped his eyes shut in hopes of banishing it. But when he opened his eyes again, he saw that the other party was still in that hideous form. And Aunt Mary couldn't hold on any longer, she was seventy years old after all. Nick finally calms down and remembers that he is a police officer. Draw the gun directly, and shoot it at the opponent.

A gunshot rang out, and the bullet hit the opponent's back. Then the monster paused, and turned to stare at Nick. With a swing of the scythe in his hand, he rushed towards Nick. Nick's face changed drastically, and the pistol in his hand fired continuously, but the other party seemed to not feel it, and forced himself to his side with the bullet.

Nick fired six shots in a row, finally knocking out the horrible guy before the other could slash himself with a scythe. At this time, Aunt Mary on the side couldn't hold on and fainted.

Nick didn't have time to check on the other and hurried to Aunt Mary's side. At this time, Juliet in the house heard the gunshots and called the police. Nearby patrol officers arrived quickly. Nick is a police detective and has a higher position than them. On the ground, there were old people and wounded people, and dangerous murder weapons. The patrol officer naturally did not embarrass his own people, and quickly called for support and an ambulance, and sent Nick and Aunt Mary to the hospital together.

In the hospital, after some resuscitation, Aunt Mary was fine. However, the doctor had some questions. Because Aunt Mary's body was covered with dense scars. Various sword scars, as well as unknown bite marks. And to this, Nick could not respond. Can only fool around in the name of an undercover agent.

By the bedside, Mary had woken up. She seems to have a lot to tell Nick, but time doesn't allow it. After all, I just woke up, and I only had about five minutes to visit.

"Nick, listen. I'm sorry that the fate of the family has fallen to you. Your mother and I did everything we could to keep you out of it all. But it eventually came. With this, I put everything in my trailer. Go inside and you'll find everything you need to know about the family. I'm really sorry, Nick. But I'm afraid you'll have to take over the responsibilities of the family. I'm too old to continue. ”

Nick wanted to ask something, but the doctor had already told him that the time was up. Nick could only take the odd key and leave the room. Everything that happened tonight made him confused and even a little frightened. Aunt Mary also knew about the monsters, which meant that what she was seeing was not a hallucination. But if it's not a hallucination, it means that everything else Aunt Mary says is true. The fate of the family, hunting monsters?

……………………..

Early the next morning. Hank arrives alone in Su Yuan's hospital room. He was holding a document in his hand, and his face was a little unsightly. It is clear that ballistic tests did not give the results he wanted. However, despite the lack of evidence of the murder, Hank still intuitively senses that something is wrong with Su Yuan. He decided to make one last move.

"You're in luck, boy. Ballistic tests show that you have nothing to do with picking up the murder. In fact, the FBI has already taken over the case, and you have cleared the suspicion of this. But given your smuggling behavior, as well as the unlicensed possession of large-caliber firearms. You will still be punished. We will soon hand you over to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, and then to the Department of Immigration. Is there anything else you'd like to say? Out of this door, I'm going to report it. You're running out of time. ”

"Where's your partner? Officer Nick. Surprisingly, Su Yuan didn't seem to put these things down his mind. Instead, he asked his partner.

"It's none of your business." Hank's face was bad. In his opinion, this is a precursor to provocation.

"No, maybe it's a little bit related. Let me guess, something happened to him last night? ”

Bump, this is the sound of Hank pressing Su Yuan directly against the wall.

"Boy, tell me what you know about last night? Otherwise I'll ......" Before he could finish his sentence, he felt a tremendous force stretch his hands apart. Hank was shocked and subconsciously wanted to pull out his gun. But as soon as I stretched out my hand, I touched a void. When he looked up again, he saw Su Yuan playing with his pistol in his hand.

Hank took a step back very wisely and raised his hands.

"This is the hospital, and there are two of my colleagues in the hallway. There's no way you're going to get out of here. ”

"Wrong, if I want to go. I left last night and won't be noticed by anyone. It's just that I'm interested in your colleagues, so I stayed. Tell me what happened to him last night. Trust me, if you want to help your colleagues, I'll be a great choice. ”

Su Yuan said as he returned the pistol to Hank. At this distance, even if the other party has a gun, he is sure to take it again. It's easy to do things, but it's better to show a little sincerity.

Hank took the pistol suspiciously. Looking at his expression, he wanted to point at Su Yuan and make him kneel on the ground. But after thinking about it for a while, I put away my pistol.

"Last night, Nick and his aunt were attacked in front of their house. He fired six shots in a row, killing one thug. I am currently receiving psychological counseling. I checked, and the murderer was a repeat offender. Robbery, rape, murder, wanted in three states. But before that, there was no intersection with Nick. What do you know? ”

"What weapon did he use, that murderer?"

As soon as Su Yuan opened his mouth, Hank's face became subtle. This is also the most interesting part of this case, and the other party used a handmade giant scythe. It's ancient, and there's an old Latin on it. It doesn't feel like a killer, it's like one of those Comic-Con cosplays. It's just that Hank had tried the weapon, and there was no doubt that it was a dangerous thing to cut the blade.

"That's ......"

"It's a huge scythe with Latin engraved on it." Su Yuan said the rest of the words for Hank. After speaking, he ignored Hank's bewildered expression and continued to ask.

"His aunt, is her name Mary?"

"How do you know who you really are and what does it have to do with this?" Hank's voice couldn't help but be a little louder. provoked two patrol detectives from outside to come in. Seeing that there was no problem, he shrank back again.

"All I can tell you right now is that your partner is in trouble, and it's up to him to tell you more. But if you could let me meet him, it would be a lot easier. Of course, all this is provided that I am not taken away by the immigration department. ”

"...... if you can really help, I promise you won't be taken away by the immigration department."

"Good, looks like we're on the same page."
