Chapter 489: Choice
Lin Xuan looked at the werewolf in front of him with interest. Just now, he felt a little strange.
Werewolves were too common in the world Lin Xuan had chosen. But the current one is really a little strange.
Werewolves are typical creatures of the Inner World, living in groups and walking alone. And although werewolves have good combat effectiveness, they are generally the hunted down side in the world. The reason for this is because most werewolves have a fiery personality and will always cause all kinds of trouble. Moreover, there is also the problem of the full moon madness. Therefore, the world is generally not welcomed.
So, under normal circumstances. They will try to hide their identity as much as possible. However, this guy in front of him obviously didn't understand this situation. It has the impunity to kill people publicly. Looks like a newbie without the slightest experience. But the strange thing is that he can freely control his transformation.
The transformation of a werewolf is not easy. In fact, it's quite painful. And it's between the characteristics of werewolf rage. The transformation is extremely difficult to control. Most werewolves hide their identities because their transformations are quite uncertain. This is a last resort to avoid unnecessary trouble.
The guy in front of him looked inexperienced. At the same time, there is a mature werewolf side. This made Lin Xuan feel a little weird. And he also felt a strange aura in this werewolf. This made him a little concerned.
After thinking about it for a long time, Lin Xuan took out the phone.
It's the middle of the night, and Caitlin is analyzing the case until now, and is preparing to rest. That's when the phone rang. It's rare, because it turned out to be Lin's phone call.
"Lin, what's the matter?"
"Caitlin, at the scene of the crime today. I can see that something is wrong with your emotions. So can you tell me a little bit about your story? What have you experienced? Why hide in this remote town. ”
"Lin, it's getting late. Can we talk about that another day? ”
"Caitlin, if you give me an explanation today. Then I can also give you an explanation. about recent cases. ”
"What do you know?" Caitlyn's emotions stirred.
"Don't forget that I asked first."
"......That's what happened to me when I was a kid. You might be hard to believe. I've seen firsthand some things that shouldn't exist. That night, I saw my father, killed by a monster.
It was a monster that looked like it had no skin. It is able to crawl on walls like a gecko. It has sharp claws, blood-red eyes, and a mouth capable of splitting into the back of the head. I saw him tear my father's throat with my own eyes, and I screamed and cried. The police arrived, and the monster fled. But that figure became the nightmare of my life. ”
"You worked as a cop to find out the truth?"
"Yes, I want to use the resources of the police to find out the truth of the year. No one believed me, they stubbornly believed that I was only eight years old, and I was terrified by the situation. Then I imagined the scene at that time. They even imagined a serial killer using weapons like the Steel Claw. Because there was more than one similar case during that time. But I know, I read that right, I saw that monster.
I've been following similar cases for years. But there seems to be some kind of force holding me back. The vast majority of cases have been resolved in an unconscionable way. Those that have not been solved have also been permanently sealed and have become some unsolved cases. I can feel that I have brushed shoulders with the truth several times. But in the end, they all missed. Can you imagine that pain?
These things cost me a lot of energy. And I've broken the rules a lot, so that's why I've been transferred here. If it weren't for the care of my superiors, I might have been kicked out of the policing system. ”
"Maybe in the eyes of some people, it's best for you not to let you out of all of this."
"Whoever you're talking about? What qualifications do they have to decide my fate? At this point, Caitlyn was visibly excited. Lin Xuan knew in his heart that there should be an organization such as the Demon Hunter that dealt with the case that Caitlin was tracking. That's why she has that feeling of missing out on the truth.
"...... do you regret it?"
"Regret what?"
"Regret all this, your youth was wasted tracking down these things. Your career has been ruined on it. Do you regret all this? ”
"Why regret it, it's my choice. I'm an adult, I stick to my own choices and never regret it. And I'm going to spend the rest of my life trying to find out the truth. Now, tell me Lin, what do you know? ”
"It's like a curse. Once you've actually touched it, you'll never be able to ask for it. You think you've seen the darkness of the world, but you don't. The truth you seek is the true darkness. ”
"Do you think I'm afraid of the dark?"
"You should be scared."
"No, I should face it head-on."
"...... come to my house. Tonight, you will know the truth. ”
Ten minutes later, Caitlin rushed into Lin Xuan's house with a shotgun in hand. The first thing I saw was Lin Xuan sitting on the sofa.
"Tell me, where is the truth?"
"This is the last chance, Caitlyn. Now turn around, turn back, and forget everything. You can go on with your life. ”
"My life was completely gone the night my father died."
Lin Xuan looked at Caitlin silently for a long time. Finally sighed.
"I should have avoided people like you as much as possible. But I know that the truth is right in front of me, but the pain is never visible. I know more about the feeling of losing a loved one and being powerless in the end. So, come with me. ”
When Caitlyn first sees the werewolf pinned to the ground. The shotgun in his hand almost went off. Then the next second, he started asking questions like crazy.
"What is this? Is it a werewolf? Did it kill those inhabitants? How did you catch it? Who are you......"
"There are a lot of questions, do you want to pick a few key points first?"
"......Well, what is this in the first place?"
"Obviously, it's a werewolf. It's a bit quirky, but it's genuine. ”
"Did it kill the inhabitants?"
"It should be, it can't control its craving for human flesh. Indulge your desires. ”
"What's going on with it now? Did you kill it? ”
"No, it's not dead. Werewolves are a species with a vital force and its tenacity. If I draw my sword now, I guess it will still be able to stand up. I reckon that if I kill it, it will most likely turn back into human form. At that point, I lost important evidence. So I just temporarily blocked its operations. ”
Caitlyn glanced at Lin Xuan, this guy who looked gentle and elegant, had such an iron-blooded side in private.
