Jimmy doesn't see Hara.

He waited at the door for a long time, and Rebecca told him to leave several times, but he didn't listen, and when Nelly came out, Hola still didn't show up.

This time the plan failed.

But he was sure that Hora was a shapeshifter, and whether it was the disappearance of the pit viper he saw with his own eyes, or Bane's strange behavior, it hinted at what the creature was hiding beneath the girl's exterior.

He shouldn't have waited.

The clock is ticking.

So he returned to the café.

Jimmy looked at the woman in front of him and said:

"Hora is a shapeshifter, and when I went with my friend Bane to besiege her, she suddenly disappeared and a strange adult walked out of it. ”

Marlene the Witcher says:

"That's enough, I've been spying on her for the last few days and found something strange, and then I have nothing to do with you, I'll go and make sure she's not an evil shapeshifter.

"When it's all over, I'll tell you the outcome, and whether she's an evil creature or not, you've acted heroically.

"Whatever you were in the past, you are doing good now, and you thwart possible evil schemes.

"Thank you, Jimmy. ”

Jimmy's expression is very flat:

"It's fine, but you don't have to tell me the results. ”

Marlene asked:

"Oh, why?"

Jimmy says:

"I thought it would make me better and be the same as I used to, but no, everything was going in a worse mess.

"But no. ”

Marlene nodded:

"Okay, if you see her gone, it means that you helped a witcher destroy the evil shapeshifter. ”

Jimmy lowered his head.

Marlene stood up:

"Thank you, kid. ”

Marlene left the café.

As Jimmy wished, they would never meet again.

Clever kids.

He gave the right answer.

Just as Marlene was expecting.

It's been a long time since she's been a witcher.

To be precise, since her father's death, she didn't have the energy to hunt any monsters, and when she finally adjusted, the monsters had disappeared.

Although her family is a shapeshifter killer, she, like most witchers, is primarily tasked with dealing with other monsters such as ghouls.

Because there aren't so many evil shapeshifters in the world left for them to kill.

Since Hevendelenge and several witchers, including her ancestors, issued regulations for the protection of inhuman, intelligent races, the hunt for shapeshifters has decreased considerably.

At the same time, the revenge activities of the transformation monsters against humans are also much less, and after learning the news, most of the transformation monsters have also formed a consensus not to actively harm humans.

Even some unrelieved hatred will disappear after a few generations.

But in the beginning, the witchers of their vein would begin to specialize in hunting shapeshifters, and even perfected a weapon called the Facelifter's Staff for countless generations, because her husband and daughter died at the hands of the shapeshifters, and she lived with the shapeshifters who replaced her family for five years.

Until one day she found out the truth.

She lifted her sword while her "husband" and "daughter" were asleep.

Ancestors knew better than anyone how horrible the Transfiguration race was, and that they could bring far more than death, but also endless emptiness and pathos.

She hunts all kinds of shapeshifters with a vengeance, and has learned a lot of experience, and the reason why she can keep hunting shapeshifters is simple, that is, she no longer trusts anyone, even her friends for many years, she will suspect that the other party is a shapeshifter.

And the most precious hiding she left behind was a weapon called the Staff of the Facelifter.

At the time, the weapon was only used as a slight warning when the shapeshifters changed their appearance, and it could only target less clever variations.

However, as it improved from generation to generation, the weapon could eventually be used not only to search for and identify shapeshifters, but also to help the wielder kill them.

Until a witcher adopted a five-year-old girl.

Her sister - Meryl.

Meryl's parents were killed by robbers on the side of the road when she was five years old, and she saw it happen as a young child, until her father arrived and took her back to the warm cabin.

Marlene was nine years old at that time.

Meryl was not a likable child when she was a child, and although they didn't have any problems getting along, they didn't have any problems.

She regretted that she hadn't discovered the madness that Meryl had suppressed at that time.

If she could go back in time, Marlene would have drowned her in the river.

Dirty and despicable villain!

Marlene remembers that Meryl knew another young witcher who seemed to be named Grim, and that her sister often had a smile on her face, but then they parted ways for some reason, and Meryl became even more gloomy.

She was too obsessed with proving herself, but she failed repeatedly, and ended up indulging in the brain-paralyzing alcohol and hallucinogenic dust.

She fell in love with the Facelifter's Staff.

At that time, my father was seriously ill and had less than two years to live.

Because he couldn't hunt monsters, but a dangerous and evil shapeshifter appeared, he asked Marlene to deal with it.

Wait until she returns.

Her father is dead, and Meryl is gone with her Stripper.

Only the corpse lying on the bed and a large pool of blood were left.

The Stripper's Staff is the only inheritance her father left her.

But if Meryl had made it clear in the morning, she could have done without the Staff of the Skinner, and while she had always been the better of the two, she had never felt it was her destiny to hunt monsters.

It's just a heavy responsibility.

But it's too late.

What happens can't be changed.

Meryl is a smart person, she no longer uses her real name after she disappears, and even if some aliases are recognized by Marlene, she can't confirm the location of the other person.

But there are some things that both know.

That is, the staff of the Peeler is incomplete today.

It also requires a mask.

A shapeshifter's face.

If she can catch a shapeshifter, then she can craft a trap.

But even though she had been honing her skills every day for decades, it was impossible for a mere Demon Hunter (5) to face or hunt a shapeshifter.

She had to be lucky enough to meet a newborn weak shapeshifter who didn't have much of a strong stance.

How lucky.

A Makini.

A lone maquini.

Jimmy is nothing more than a decoy to divert attention.

However, if you really want to use this shapeshifter as bait, there must be a premise.

That's Meryl just like her.

She also wants to forge the full Staff of the Skinner.

Even though there may be great dangers, they want to fulfill the great mission that their family has passed down for countless generations.
