Chapter 16: The Hand Hunter

In the dimly lit castle, a richly dressed woman is drinking blood from a cup, and her other hand clutches the shriveled corpse of a dead vampire banshee, although vampires rarely kill each other, but this is limited to peers, low-level vampires can only be called pets in the eyes of high-level vampires, not their own kind. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info In front of this lady knelt a group of vampires, from large to small, from high to low, with a full range of types, "Did the bounty hunter Fayol find it?"

"He has fled to the north and we have not been able to track him down. ”

"He'll be back, but don't let me down. ”

"Yes, master!" said the vampires in unison,

Their master threw away the corpse in his hand and said quietly, "Whoever dares to spread wild in our territory will not die well!"

Before Vera could wake up, Senjie was called by Fayol to Sclint's laboratory, and as soon as he entered, he was frightened, except for Master Van Rick and the sorceress Sliga, there was also a cage in the middle of the laboratory, and the alchemical instrument next to the sorceress was boiling some liquid, emitting a pungent smell, Master Van Rick explained to him the results of their discussion, in order for him to be able to control the mutant left hand, to keep him in the cage just in case, Senjie understood from his mouth: even the joint efforts of the sorceress and the old hunter could not make his left hand normal。

"You can only control, you can't get better, right?" Senjie didn't have any expectations, but he still felt very frustrated.

Master Van Rik didn't say anything more, he touched Senjie's head, "I know it's a little hard to accept, kid. Just as when his father touched his head affectionately when he was a child, Senjie's heart suddenly flooded with a warm feeling and longing for his father's family, and although the time he spent with these bounty hunters and friends was short, it was like coming home in Sclint.

Senjie hid his face in the shadow of the light emitted by the torch, calmed down, and walked into the cage, Master Van Rick tied his left hand to the iron railing of the cage with an iron chain, the sorceress came over with the liquid in a bottle, Senjie took the potion with his normal hand, he had also received many potions training in Sclint, but he still instinctively resisted the unpleasant potion, the sorceress looked at him, wanted to let Senjie relieve his nervousness, and deliberately teased him, " Why, kid, are you afraid of taking medicine?"

"No, I'm not afraid. Senjie drank it at once, he didn't know why he was so obedient, maybe he was still a little afraid of this woman.

The inhibitory potion was left down his throat, and a burning sensation from his throat to his stomach made him feel a little uncomfortable, probably out of fear, he felt that the power of the medicine this time was stronger than any medicine he had drunk before, he suddenly felt a little dizzy, and felt the blood in his whole body beat, and a strange feeling came from his left hand, since his hand mutated, his left hand was like wearing a thick glove, and the hand was still his own hand, but the feeling was not so real, he now felt like something had grown out of his left hand, and it was like he was playing with a black box, and his hand reached into the box and touched the slippery skin of a frog, makes people feel numb on the scalp and extremely uncomfortable.

"Senjie, try to untie the bandages on your hands. The sorceress instructed him.

He was sweating profusely, sweat flowed into his eyes, making his realization a little blurry, and it took a lot of effort to untie the bandages on his hands, the original light red skin became crimson, and the red skin also extended from the wrist to near the elbow, and the arm completely turned into a vampire, the green tendons were exposed, the blood vessels were swollen, and for a moment he felt that he had become the mutant vampire who killed his wife with his own hands, Fayol would not hesitate to draw the rune sword to kill him, he immediately looked at the other hand, "Normal." Senjie breathed a sigh of relief, he looked at Fayol, still with the same calm expression, nothing changed.

"Senjie, can you control it?" asked the sorceress.

Senjie tried to move his fingers, "It's more flexible than before, but I can't seem to control this." Senjie's nails began to change, his nails instantly turned black, and they became longer and longer, his hands transformed into full form vampire claws, Senjie felt his teeth itch again, reached out and touched it, it seemed that his teeth had become longer, "I'm going to become a vampire!"

Senjie was terrified, and with a slight force on his left hand, the chain was torn by him, and he messed with his arms, "I'm a monster!" he scurried around the cage, which was about to topple over, and Fayol had an anxious look on his face, and he and Master Van Rick rushed to the edge of the cage, struggling to keep the cage in place.

The sorceress's hands glowed with white magic, and while using magic to restrain Senjie's body, she comforted him, "Senjie, you haven't turned into a monster yet, you're a human!"

"Don't lie to me, I've got vampire fangs, and you're going to kill me like a monster, aren't you?"

"You're not a monster, you're a hunter, you're my disciple!" Master Van Rik said loudly.

"Have you forgotten your ideals, have you forgotten that you are going to get your parents and friends back?"

"Fayol, but I, I'm a coward, I'm scared. ”

"The strong are also afraid, this does not prove that you are a coward, you have to overcome fear now, you just have to overcome it, you are strong. Fayol said to him.

"Tell me how. Senjie fell silent and looked at Sliga.

"Take a deep breath. Don't look at your hands, don't think about anything, listen to me. ”

"My hand felt like it was going to crack. ”

"Control it, you are the master. ”

"No, my nails are still stretching, I can't concentrate, so many thoughts are in my head. ”

"Think about the people you want to see the most, concentrate, just think about them, think about them right next to you. ”

Senjie's mind came to mind his father, mother, grandfather, and his two best friends, Green and Red, and Yenit, and Senjie remembered his vow: to find his parents and return to his hometown. Their faces flashed back before his eyes, giving him strength and leading him through many obstacles, he gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, I don't know how long it was, it seemed to be as long as a lifetime, only a few crisp sounds, the long nail of his left hand was broken, he stopped stretching, the color of his arm was fading, and he was already out of strength.

"It worked!" Sliga laughed happily, even though she was also sweating, Master Van Rik and Fayol smiled with satisfaction, Fayol walked to the door of the laboratory and opened the door at once, only to see Vera, Robin and Saxon rushing in at once, looking at Senjie and applauding him.

Senjie looked at them, but he was too tired to say a word, he barely managed to squeeze out a smile, and then he lay in the cage, closed his eyes, and didn't want to move.
