Chapter 245: Old News
The night is like ink, and the corpses of wolves are scattered. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The cold wind carried a thick blood, which made people want to vomit.
The two figures confronted each other less than ten feet from each other.
"Should I call you Jack, or Mr. Shapeshifter?"
Rodin didn't expect that there was a completely different face hidden under the young man's skin, and he was shocked and then stunned.
He clearly remembered that in the monster notes, there was only one kind of monster that could completely change his face and body and not show flaws for more than ten years - the shapeshifter.
Shapeshifters, with humanoid appearances and varied personalities, usually live in groups in the wilderness, and a very small number live in solitary groups and live incognito in human cities.
As the name suggests, they are born with the ability to transmogrify, whether it is animals, humans, or monsters, as long as they remember the breath, they will become the object of transfiguration.
Moreover, their transformation does not stop at the surface, but all the flesh and blood and internal organs are transformed into the same as the target.
The slight difference is in the soul, and in the strength.
Just like Jack, he can transform into Rodin, but he only has the strength of the powerful.
What is surprising is why this shapeshifter has to disguise himself as a human teenager who is powerless, for ten years.
In the face of Rodin's questioning, the shapeshifter Sypier had a bitter face, "Teacher, you still call me Jack, believe it or not, I didn't mean to hide my identity. ”
"Now that Louise is too badly injured to last long, can you send her to treatment first?"
"She's a shapeshifter, too?"
Sipier pondered for a moment, deciding not to hide it any longer.
"Louise and I are members of the same community. I will return to St. Gallen tomorrow and explain it thoroughly. ”
"You're not going back with me?"
In the early hours of the morning, it was still a long time before dawn, and Sipil was covered in blood, and it was hard to guarantee that he would not attract predators more terrifying than the wolves.
"Teacher, I will definitely pass your test and become your official disciple. If you're still willing to take me!"
Hippier's heartfelt words were moving, and Rodin gave him a deep look, "As you wish, the teacher will wait for you to return, remember to change back to Jack's body when the time comes." ”
After speaking, Rodin took the seriously injured and unconscious Louise, summoned the silver wings of the rose armor, rose from the ground, and sped in the direction of St. Gallen.
And Sipil, looking at the vanishing backs of the two, his eyes were resolute and bright, like bright stars.
......
Early the next morning, Rodin received Sypierre, or Jack, at the gates of St. Gallen.
The boy's clothes were tattered, stained with shredded flesh and blood, as if he had been beaten by thugs, and his young face was full of tiredness after a night of sleep.
After following Rodin to a quiet and uninhabited place, he eagerly asked about Louise and relaxed when he heard the news that she was safe.
"Mr. Rodin, now I can finally call you so openly, right?"
He bowed respectfully, and suddenly felt a warm palm on his shoulder.
"Jack, since you have passed my three tests perfectly, today, I, Rodin, have officially accepted you as a student, and from now on, I will do my best to make you grow. ”
"That...... Teacher, I would venture to ask, what do we call our faction?"
"Faction?" the young man raised his eyebrows when he saw the teacher, and responded with great humility, "With the teacher's current level of bronze power, it is not enough to start a sect, so naturally there is no so-called faction. But sooner or later, we'll have a name that resounds!"
Jack still seems to be the hot-blooded and tenacious teenager, who is thrilled, blushing, and adored by these words.
Now, the teacher has a reluctant request. ”
"Tell me!"
"Jack, my disciple, tell me all about the causes and consequences of your incarnation as Jack ten years ago!"
Jack stared at the sky with a blurred gaze and began to slowly recount his memories of the past.
"We Transfigurines, the Soradar Clan, have lived on the outskirts of St. Gallen for generations, following the ancient code of not being in a fight. Life is easy, but it's also boring. ”
"The best day of the month is when you go to St. Gallen to buy supplies. ”
"There are all kinds of things, all kinds of fun things, and I can't want to leave. ”
So on a shopping day ten years ago, the mischievous Sixpier and Daphne turned into white cats and escaped from their fellow elders, and sneaked away to Banyan Street, where they met two kind children, Jack and Louise. ”
In his recollection, Sipil couldn't help but smile.
"It was one of the fondest memories of my life, when Daphne and I played hide-and-seek in the hollows of the trees with our two children, snuggled up in their arms and swinged, listening to their complaints about their parents who had almost forgotten them by getting up early and working late at night, and the strange and interesting things about St. Gallen. ”
"This kind of day lasted for half a month, Daphne and I kept our cat form, made our home in the banyan hole, and evaded the search of the elders by the way, and Jack and Louise quietly brought us our favorite milk every day. Accompany each other and form deep friendships. ”
"That change happened on that hot afternoon, and Daphne and I crouched in the treetops as usual, waiting for Jack and Louise. ”
However, when they arrived at Banyan Street and waved excitedly, we clearly saw a strange man with an unrecognizable face shrouded in black robes suddenly cover their mouths from behind and forcibly drag them away. ”
"The guy in the black robe, the trafficker?"
Rodin interjected.
Sipil shook his head, "That man's aura is extremely terrifying and powerful, and we haven't seen his face clearly. But keep his breath firmly in mind, and if you encounter him again, you will definitely be able to recognize him!"
Sipier gritted his teeth.
"Daphne and I jumped down the treetops, desperately trying to stop the man, only to be kicked hard by him. ”
"Because we were young at the time and in the form of weak white cats, we were directly kicked unconscious, and when we woke up, we could no longer find their shadows, and the more I thought about them, the more scared I became. ”
"Sad, sad, hopeless, helpless...... I can't describe how I felt at that time!"
Sipier closed his eyes, his facial muscles trembling slightly, and his expression was extremely painful.
Daphne and I weary dragged our injured bodies back to the tree hole to recuperate. Their images and breaths keep flashing in their minds and lingering. ”
"After a day, the body responded to the call of the mind, and Daphne and I took on the forms of Jack and Louise, respectively. ”
"Then things developed unexpectedly, Dad, and Mom, no...... Mr. and Mrs. Gyllenhaal found us and took us home as the two children. ”
Sipil lowered his head, his face complicated.
"All members of the Soradar clan are one big family, there is no division of parents, relatives, and no small families. ”
"The Gyllenhaal couple brought us a delicacy and warmth that we couldn't refuse, and we indulged in it, occupying the magpie's nest, and truly integrating into the identity of Jack and Louise. ”
"That's what you want. ”
Rodin was silent for a while, "If I'm not mistaken, your memory has just awakened?"
"Yes, believe it or not, shapeshifters are more emotionally sensitive than humans, so that's what happens. ”
"Some of the shapeshifters have been disguised as an identity for years, so obsessed that they have forgotten the past and completely integrated into that identity!"
"It's called getting lost. Unless they are exposed to extreme stimulation, the lost person can no longer find his true self. ”
Today, Daphne is still lost in Louise's identity. ”
