Chapter 500: The Night Watch
On a farm, a skirmish is going on. Caitlin faces two adult werewolves alone. But before the war began, she had already hit one of them with a trap. A silver bolt pierced the werewolf's chest.
Silver is highly poisonous to werewolves. So, despite the fact that the injury is not serious. But with the silver element entering its bloodstream, the werewolf had lost more than half of its combat power. Another werewolf is its mate, and it is in a dilemma. She wanted to help her partner. But Caitlyn was harassing it.
The werewolf let out a painful roar and rushed straight at Caitlyn. She finally understood that it was impossible to take her partner without killing this human. Caitlyn raised her hand and shot it. A large-caliber shotgun loaded with a special type of silver bullet.
The warhead is hollow. Inside is wrapped in a few milliliters of silver nitrate. Once it hits the werewolf's body, the warhead will shatter, and the silver nitrate inside will quickly melt into the werewolf's blood. A single shot from the front can kill an adult werewolf.
Werewolves are in a transformative berserk though. But the human will still retains most of it, after all, it is two mature werewolves. The moment Caitlyn raised her hand, she was already jumping to one side. The werewolf's speed advantage was taken to the extreme. The bullet didn't hit, but it couldn't get closer.
Caitlyn didn't panic, just stayed where she was, her shotgun on alert. Form a confrontation with the werewolves. She was in no hurry to end the fight. Even if you have a gun in your hand, but between the werewolf's powerful melee combat, the result is not safe. She's still waiting for an opportunity.
Seeing that his partner is getting weaker and weaker. The werewolf finally couldn't take it anymore. Desperate to pick up a door panel, it charged towards Caitlin. However, Caitlyn had no intention of ending the fight with a shotgun at all.
Her body recoiled as quickly as she detonated a bomb not far in front of her. The bomb was not very powerful. But it was stuffed with a lot of silver powder. The explosion blew the silver powder apart, forming a silver mist band. For a moment, a dead space rose in front of her, for a werewolf.
The werewolf still rushed through the area of silver powder. But roaring it had already inhaled a lot of silver dust. This slowed down its movements significantly. Blood has even begun to spill from the mouth.
Caitlin seized the moment and shot a shotgun into its chest. The huge impact directly knocked down the werewolf. At the same time, silver nitrate begins to react with the blood. A large amount of silver began to enter the werewolf's body. The werewolf's life came to an end in an instant. It turned and crawled slowly towards its partner, the dead werewolf corpse. However, this scene was enough to move a large number of melon-eating people, but it did not affect Caitlin at all.
She just watched the werewolf move. Slowly approaching the corpse of another werewolf. Slowly, it's almost there. At this time, as long as the werewolf is in the paw, he can touch his mate. But there was a gunshot at the bump. The werewolf's body trembled violently, but the last ten centimeters could no longer be reached.
Caitlin poured gasoline with a blank face, reducing the scene to ashes. Lin Xuan stood not far away and looked at her. As the flames rose, Lin Xuan's eyes changed slightly. Looked behind Catelyn. There, two children, a man and a woman, were waving at Lin Xuan.
This is the child who was killed by those two werewolves. Or the dinner of the two werewolves. They seem to be celebrating some kind of holiday. He even took the risk and captured two human children. When Caitlyn saw the scene, she almost went insane. That's why she treated those two werewolves so cruelly later.
Caitlin noticed Lin Xuan's eyes.
"What are you looking at?"
"Those two children, they will say thank you again."
Caitlyn was stunned for a moment, then understood. Lin Xuan should be talking about the ghosts of those two children.
"They...... Is it still there? ”
"It's gone. Very nice two kids. I held back the darkness that spread in my heart. Didn't metamorphose into a ghost. They will go to heaven and there will be a wonderful afterlife. ”
“...... I decided, Lin. Caitlin was silent for a moment, then spoke.
"What has been decided?"
"I decided to become a witcher."
"This is the fourth mission you've done on your own. You're already a good witcher. ”
"That's just by the standards of ordinary people, right? It's your consistent line. By your standards, I'm still far behind. I know you're not willing to force me. You've been waiting for me to make a decision myself. Now I have decided that I will give up my old life and spend the rest of my life to cleanse this darkness of sin. ”
"It's just the spur of the moment when you see the tragedy of those two kids. Give up the identity of an ordinary person and become a dark hero. Sounds cool and great. But when you actually do it, you will find that it is the most dangerous and painful profession in the world.
All your friends and relatives will not understand you. Because you can't tell them the truth. Even to cut off contact with them completely. You need to be on the edge of the law at all times. No one will praise you except a very few. One day, you'll even die in a no-man's corner. No one is crying for you. You may even feel like the whole world has abandoned you.
That kind of heavy pressure can make the strongest person go crazy. You're a good person, Caitlin, and you deserve a better life. ”
"But what about the innocent victims? What about the two children? They likewise deserve to have a happy life. But it didn't. The darkness crushed their lives, their families. So, someone has to stand up and take on all this, someone has to dispel the darkness. I am willing to be that person, without regrets. Teach me, Lin. Teach me those real skills. Make me a being like you. Lin Xuan looked at the resolute Caitlin and couldn't help but feel a little distracted. In this world, he had originally planned to cultivate his voice. But he discovers that he can't refuse Caitlin's request.
"The long night is coming, and I will keep watch from now on until I die. I will not have a wife, nor a fief, nor a child. I will not wear a crown, and I will not compete for honor. I will do my duty and die in my life. I am the sword in the darkness, the guard on the Wall. I am the flame against the cold, the light at dawn, the trumpet that awakens the sleeper, the shield that guards the kingdom. I give my life and glory to the night watch, tonight, night and night. Looking at Caitlin in front of him, Lin Xuan somehow subconsciously remembered the oath of the night watchman. Caitlyn in front of her resembles the sworn Night's Watch.
"What is this? Sounds like some kind of oath. ”
"It's a vow made by a group of people who are similar to you. They are called the Night Watch. If you don't object, let's call it that. Night watchman, watch the night. The existence in the darkness is completely buried in the darkness. Drive the demons in hell back to hell. ”
