It was as if Cayden had been immersed in a warm hot spring, and the pain of tearing his body and soul faded away, and his slumber furrowed from his stupor.

He dreamed of carefree high school again, the praise and love of his classmates and teachers, and the hugs of his dear parents.

But when he opened his eyes, all the beautiful illusions of the past shattered, leaving only the cramped and dark carriage and the cold and cruel reality.

He was draped in a blanket, the wound under the blanket had healed but his mood was tense, he stared at the back of the driver's seat in front of him, and asked anxiously, "Is that lady dead?" I killed her? ”

Dean glanced at him in surprise through the rearview mirror, at this time, he didn't care about his body, but cared about the woman who was on the side, this guy really didn't match the original form,

"Don't worry, I stopped your runaway, the lady fled, and you only shredded the two robbers."

"Thanks, buddy," Cayden said earnestly toward the man who had badly injured himself, struggling to sit up, "but I don't understand why you've been following me?" If you can easily defeat me, why don't you kill me? ”

Dean smiled and threw a piece of chocolate behind him,

"I'm still wondering if you're an enemy? Tell me first, what species are you, werewolf? ”

Werewolf?

When Kaiden heard this word, he suddenly clutched his stomach and laughed, but his eyes began to redden, and his laughter brought a thick nasal and pharyngeal sound.

"I don't know what I am, because I wasn't like that."

Dean made a deaf gesture in the rearview mirror, "You can be more specific, from the beginning, I'm interested." ”

Kaiden deeply understood that it was ineffective to resist in front of this dangerous man, peeled off a piece of chocolate and stuffed it into his mouth, and suddenly said,

"A few months ago I was in high school in North Carolina, and it's no exaggeration to say that I was excellent in character and academics, getting A's in almost every subject, and I was a quarterback on the school's football team, leading the school team to win two Carolina High School football championships."

"My teachers liked me, my classmates adored me, and the girl who was as beautiful as a movie star became my girlfriend, and my parents were proud of me."

"I've almost booked a nationally renowned university, and the future is bright."

"Isn't this someone else's child?" Dean laughed and said, "I'm guessing you're still the king of the annual homecoming ball." ”

"You're right." Cayden nodded heavily, then covered his mouth and took a deep breath, "But half a year ago, after a night football game, my perfect life began to take a turn for the worse. ”

Cayden's gloomy gaze turned to a crescent moon in the sky outside the car window,

"That night, a fool repeatedly provoked me on the field, hit me, and drove me mad with anger, and I used to think about the big picture for the sake of the team's victory, but that night I didn't know how, the moon was round like the devil's bewitching eyes, weaving sweet lies in my mind. I couldn't contain my anger and pounced on the bastard in front of the thousands of spectators on the rugby field, stabbing him in the face. ”

"Why?" Dean asked, "Have you figured out why it got out of control at the time?" ”

"I've thought about it for a long time, and now I probably understand that it has something to do with the full moon and the excitement of the scene, and my age. Yes, it was also my eighteenth birthday on the day of the race, and there was some kind of irreversible change in my body. ”

"All these complicated factors have led to bad results." Kayden's tone was a mixture of excitement and remorse.

'Then I was punished by the team, interrupted all the games and training and was on the bench. But this was only the beginning of the nightmare, and more bizarre things happened to me, and I would inexplicably sound terrible screams in my head when I was in class, sleeping, and even making out with my girlfriend. ”

"Huh?" Dean slapped the steering wheel and shouted.

Cayden sighed, "Yes, wolf howls with different tones. But I'm not a wolf, how can I read their language? ”

"I felt like I had an alarm clock in my head that I could never turn off, I couldn't concentrate, and my parents took me to several hospitals to no avail, and my academic performance plummeted."

"So in just two months, I lost not only my status as a rugby team, but also my teacher's affection. I tried to regain what I had lost, but my busy work didn't make any difference, and I was like a funny clown. I'm getting more and more manic," Cayden clenched his bruised fists and paused, his blue eyes looking at the man in front of him, "You know what that feels like?" ”

"I've experienced it." Dean nodded solemnly, his mind recalling a time when his spirit was seriously more than his will.

"You know how painful it was, but my parents kept encouraging me, telling me it was okay, suggesting that I take a break from school and take me to a better hospital. My girlfriend Selena has always been with me, wrapping me with the tenderness of water. They never forsaken me, and became my motivation to resist the terrible voices and the fury of my heart. ”

A hint of emotion flashed in Kaiden's eyes, but his tone became sad,

"On another full moon night, Selena sat with me in the car, put her arms around me, comforted me, and kissed me. I kissed her back, and it was supposed to be a good night. ”

But when I kissed her neck, I felt her vigorous vitality, flowing through her whole body with the veins in her neck. It exuded a strong sweet smell, as sweet as a cake, and an uncontrollable hunger arose in my body. I—I bit Selena. ”

Kaiden's blue eyes turned amber in an instant, but under the intimidation of Dean's cold gaze, his heart was cold and quickly recovered,

"For the first time in my life, blood poured into my mouth, as if Selena's vitality passed through my body, opening a shackle in my body, and my skin was crisp and numb and began to itch, as if there were countless little rats drilling underneath, and finally—all of them came out!"

The fingers of his left hand groped his smooth right arm like a piano, and his tone became agitated.

"Selena screamed in horror, pointed at my fluffy face, called me a monster, I was scared and angry, used up the last of my sense, pushed the car door, and ran into the forest!"

"The moon in the sky is like a burning fireball, and the moonlight that spills it turns into a hot flame, burning my skin and flesh, and I go crazy with pain!"

"I lost my mind, I just remembered running, I ran endlessly in the dark forest, until I was exhausted, and I passed out."

"When I woke up, the sky was still pitch black. I was lying at home. ”

There was a long silence in the carriage, and every muscle on Cayden's face, every skin on his body, began to tremble, his eyes filled with endless fear, and an ominous sense of depression surged through the air.

Until Dean hinted at it several times.

Kayden struggled to spit out a sentence,

"And my parents, lying in pools of blood..."

"I lost control and killed the people who loved me the most... Turned himself into an orphan. ”

…

Call... Suck...

Dean let out a long sigh, scratched his chin, and closed his eyes.

No wonder Cayden refused to go to the police station as soon as he was rescued, and showed such a sad expression in the restaurant.

It's a nightmare to kill your closest ones out of control.

No, it's scarier than a nightmare.

"And then?" Dean didn't know how to comfort him, so he simply changed the subject,

"Selena, who was bitten by me, rushed to my door with a police car and saw me standing next to the bodies of my parents." Kayden wiped away tears from his face, "I was so scared that I fled the scene of the crime and began a long life on the run. ”

"The police chased me, but every time they came, I could sense the danger in advance, just like I sensed that you were a special person." "But it didn't help, I went from being a high school man to a wanted criminal, and I lost my perfect life and became even more miserable than a homeless person." ”

"I tried to find a solution, and there was only one word in all the books – suicide." A hint of shame crossed Cayden's face, "But I didn't have the courage to kill myself." ”

"No one wants to kill themselves, especially when you're so young." Dean interjected,

"The other records in the book are all fake, what kind of silver, special wolf poison potion, can hurt me, a werewolf, that is ineffective, heart and brain injuries can also heal themselves." "And while on the run, I also discovered that it is not only on the night of the full moon that I can transform uncontrollably, but it seems that I can transform at any time, especially when I am emotional and see blood, and the screams in my head will get louder and louder." ”

Dean nodded, quietly took out the supernatural encyclopedia and began to record,

"This primordial power has been lurking in my body, accumulating every minute and every second, waiting for the time to awaken."

"Every time the moon is full, I can feel the animality in my body boiling."

Cayden clenched his fingers in a tangled manner,

"I was always afraid that I would lose control and kill people again, especially innocent people, so I thought repeatedly that instead of killing uncontrollably at some point, it would be better to consciously control this beastly nature and target those who are doing evil at the right time... Kill these thugs and criminals to release the wolf nature that has accumulated in their bodies. ”

Dean did not hesitate to appreciate, "Not a bad decision, you are still a person with a sense of justice in general." ”

"What kind of person? You've also seen that my efforts have not had much effect," he said, "every time I release my wolf nature, it's hard to stop, and I kill people when I see them, no matter whether they are good or bad." ”

Dean muttered, "It's only been a few months since you woke up, and you haven't exercised enough, so you can't control it." ”

"Awaken, what a beautiful word," Cayden looked at him with a glaring eye, "but don't you think becoming a werewolf is a disease, a curse?" I lost my home, I felt a sense of guilt, and I had to face my cowardly self who didn't dare to commit suicide. ”

Dean was silent.

"I escaped from the Carolina in such a painful way and drifted and roamed southwest..."

"Going to your grandparents and grandparents?" Dean asked,

A flash of light flashed in Cayden's blue eyes, "They are long dead, and I have no other relatives to look for." But in the process of wandering, after many metamorphoses, I gradually understood the meaning of the cry in my head—it was a call, calling me to a mysterious place, and when I drove in the right direction, the sound would have less and less negative effect on me. ”

"Where?" A wave of curiosity swelled up in Di'an's head,

Kayden hesitated for a moment, looking at the darkness outside the car window, and his originally withered straw-like dull face became a little more angry,

"Things have come to this point, and I don't want to hide anything more... It's not far away, continue west, into Arkansas to reach the northwest. I have a gut feeling that someone or something important to me lives there. Maybe it will answer the secret of my metamorphosis. ”

Dean looked at the young man's wistful face and asserted, "I guess your real parents live there,"

"My real parents?" Kayden was stunned for a moment, and emphasized gloomily, "My parents have died at my hands. ”

"No, in my experience, this symptom of gradually becoming a werewolf after adulthood should not be caused by some unexpected stimulus, but by a special bloodline."

"If they are your biological parents, they should also be bloodlined, know something about your anomaly, and prepare ways to deal with it in advance, rather than being killed by you defenselessly."

"You mean I killed adoptive parents?" Cayden stood up in the back seat in disbelief, hit the roof of the car, and sat back down in pain, his voice becoming harsh, "This can't be!" Growing up, I had never heard this say. ”

"There's no law that says they have to tell you you're an adopted son. You can't be the only werewolf in the world, so your real relatives are still far away. ”

Cayden hung his head in deep thought, a deep blank look on his face.

Dean waited for him to be quiet for a while, and then asked, "Transforming into a werewolf is so powerful, how can you be caught by a few deformed people?" ”

"I got lost in the forest on Bear Mountain Road, tired and hungry, so hungry that I didn't have the strength to turn into a werewolf, and I was knocked out by the trap of their family." A flash of anger and horror flashed in Kayden's eyes, "I woke up and lay on the 'operating table' with a few pieces of flesh missing. ”

Belch.

Dean made up the scene at that time, don't be too cruel.

But werewolves get lost in the forest, which is a bit too strange.

"But the demonic family found that my missing flesh was growing again, and became interested, and instead of killing me directly, they locked me up with iron chains, and tortured me every day for fun, and only gave me a little water."

"I went through five days of inhumane torture and became weaker and weaker." "I sometimes think that if I killed my family and some innocent people out of control, then I deserved to be killed by a man-eater. ”

"I'm ready to go to hell... But you rescued me again, and perhaps it was God's will to bring me to the end of my call. ”

"Until now, I was caught by you again."

"I'm done, this is me, the story of Cayden the Werewolf."

……

After listening to this long story.

Dean tapped his fingers lightly on the steering wheel, his gaze looking through the rearview mirror at Cayden's flawless face, his expression dark.

Da Da...

Each tap of his fingers seemed to hit Kayden's heart, and Kayden's face turned pale and he held his breath, his limbs tensed against the back seat, like a death row prisoner waiting for the final judgment, uneasy.

A strong intuition rose in my heart.

If the man were to kill himself, then death would not be escapable.

After a long time, in the tormenting silence, he couldn't help but speak.

"You're going to put an end to me?"

"Nope." Dean said slowly, "You've killed a lot of innocents, but that's not your intention, it's another part of your body that's doing it." ”

"Everyone has such a part, the madness outside of the system, the difference is whether you can control it or not. You're trying to control it, right. ”

"Hmm..."

"Then let's make a deal," Dean said in an irrefutable tone, "I'll send you to the land of the wolf's howl, and in the meantime I'll help you control your bestiality through various experiments, stop you from killing innocents, and help you deal with enemies and troubles you can't handle." ”

"I'm a werewolf, why are you helping me?" Kayden asked, unable to understand and his voice trembling,

Dean calmly said his rules, "What about werewolves? If you have human nature and principles, it is no different from normal human beings. And some of the humans I've seen are worse than beasts and monsters. ”

"Who the hell are you, an employee of the American Occult Department?"

"No, I'm just a groper on the supernatural path."

"So what should I do?"

"Cooperate with my experiments, follow my instructions, and... If you die due to force majeure during or after the transaction is completed, your body will belong to me. Otherwise, you owe me a favor. ”

Corpse? What is it used for?

A wave of doubt welled up in Kaiden's heart, but then he swallowed it into his stomach again, gritted his teeth and stretched out his hand forward.

"Deal!"

Dean shook his hand back, and a large prompt appeared in front of him-
