"As a demon hunter who has lived for almost a hundred years, I have encountered many things, and many of them have found me myself. Life and death are not terrible, what is terrible is what lurks beneath them. I remember it was an autumn day more than 10 years ago, and I was short of money for drinking, so I went to a few small villages near the route to my destination, hoping to get some work and earn some money for drinking."

The voice of the white wolf Geralt suddenly became full of seduction in the dim candlelight, especially with the identity behind him, which made people have to believe that it was something he had personally experienced.

Luo Xian also became quiet, taking a sip of yellow beer from time to time, and in this somewhat quiet environment, with the rustling of leaves outside the window of the inn lobby, the atmosphere suddenly became thicker.

"In a small village, a local hunter told me that his wife had been missing for five days. It was not yet dark, and he needed to go out hunting at night to support the family, and when he went out, his wife was still working at home, and when he returned at dawn, she was gone. ”

"The hunter's name is Nelon, and his wife's name is Hannah. While I was asking Nelan about the details, a woman came out of the hunter's house, who claimed to be Hannah's sister, and I asked her about her sister as a matter of professional custom. She provided some information that Hannah often helped the village blacksmith take care of two mischievous children in order to support the family, and was also good friends with the butcher's wife, Grena, who often handled some animal offal that no one wanted. ”

"I've taken over a lot of missing investigations, and in fact, a lot of clues are around people, but they are not good at discovering, so I conducted some investigations in the village based on the information provided by Hannah's sister. The butcher's wife, Grena, said that Hannah had behaved unusually before her disappearance, and that Hannah liked to go to the forest outside the village after the rain to collect mushrooms and wild vegetables, believing that Hannah might have been eaten by wild wolves roaming the neighborhood, as she had often heard wolf howls in the forest lately. ”

The blacksmith's two children, however, said that when they had come out late at night a few days earlier, they had seen Hannah appear to have followed a woman into the forest. ”

When Luo Xian heard this, he couldn't help but interject, "Then the clue to Hannah's disappearance is in the forest, right?"

A smile appeared on Geralt's lips and he nodded, "I immediately went to the forest outside the village to investigate, and indeed found traces of wild wolves and the carcasses of some wild beasts inside. At this time, Hannah's sister suddenly appeared in front of me. She whispered to me not to investigate any further, Hannah had been missing for five days, and according to the usual practice, she was most likely dead, and the living still needed to live, and the truth didn't matter. ”

Luo Xian frowned, "It's a little strange"

Geralt continued, "Yes, she promised to pay me a sum of money, double the commission price, and asked me to withdraw from the investigation, but I didn't agree, because it was the hunter who gave me the initial commission, and I needed to give him a real answer. ”

After I refused, Hannah's sister left, and it wasn't long before I found the remains of a human female in a hidden bush. ”

"Is it Hannah's body? Could it be that Hannah's sister killed her sister?" asked Luo Xian.

"It's Hannah's body, barely recognizable except for some clothing, but Hannah was killed by a wild beast. ”

"It's a wolf? You just said there's a wolf nearby. ”

"You know, as a veteran demon hunter, there's something unusual about it. Geralt said, blinking his cat's eyes. Only then did he remember that Geralt had mentioned that his eyes had many useful abilities, such as night vision, or tracking.

"It was a huge beast that killed her and devoured her body, leaving scratches on the dirt and tree trunks nearby, and I found a small piece of fallen fur on the ground. The large marks indicate that the killer was a werewolf, a three-meter-tall werewolf who can walk upright, and that the fur was left by the werewolf because of his itchy back and the tree, so his scent was left nearby. ”

"Werewolf? Do you have this kind of thing here? the kind that can transform and howl under the moon at night?"

"Yes, werewolves have always been a nightmare for ordinary people. They have both human nature and wolf nature in their bodies, and when they become wolves, they concentrate the worst traits of wolves and humans in their bodies, not only the wolf's desire to kill and eat meat, but also the cruelty and scheming and wisdom of people. Actually, werewolves are a kind of cursed human, and some say that they are the product of alchemists who failed their experiments, but they are almost uncontrollable in this transformation, and they will not retain the memories of their transformation into beasts, otherwise they will go crazy."

When Luo Xian heard this, his face no longer had the relaxed expression he had before, and he seemed to be a little frozen, and muttered, "Cursed humans have become wolves, hunters, wives, missing, werewolves, I think I might have guessed something."

"I searched carefully according to the breath left by the werewolves, and finally found a temporary hut of local hunters in the dense forest a few miles away, and underneath the hut, I found an abandoned mine shaft with a large number of animal remains and bloodstains. ”

"Is that the werewolf's lair, and where do you come to eat when you transform?"

"In order to get to the bottom of the matter, I stayed in the mine until midnight, and then I met the werewolf. ”

"After a fierce battle, I defeated the werewolf and was about to kill him when Hannah's sister suddenly appeared in front of us and asked me to stop. ”

"So, the werewolf is Niren, and it seems that I guessed correctly. ”

"Yes, the werewolf was seriously injured and completely lost the instinct to heal himself, and it is for this reason that humanity returned to him. As soon as he spoke, I could hear it being Niren's voice. ”

"Did he speak?"

Yes, he explained that his transformation might hurt the others, so he ran under the hunter's hut, far from the village. Hannah's sister was complaining that I shouldn't have come to investigate the matter, and that she was about to be with Neren when I suddenly came to disrupt the situation. ”

"Isn't she afraid that Neeron is a werewolf?"

The little girl said that she had always loved Neeron, even if he was a werewolf. ”

"Love is terrible, it makes people crazy and blind" Luo Xian said, in fact, he has never been in love himself.

Neren was surprised that the little girl had always known his secret and knew that he was hiding here, so she could show up in time. ”

"As the poem says, great love always ends in tragedy, and it seems that this is a love triangle. Does his sister have any explanation for Hannah's death?"

"Of course it is. She said that she was in love with Neeron at the beginning, but Neren chose Hannah, so when she found out Neeron's secret, she told Hannah and asked her to sneak into the forest to see Neron's transformation. Hopefully, Hannah gets scared and leaves Neren on her own so she can be with Neeron. ”

It's a pity that she didn't expect that after the werewolf transformed, she lost her mind and killed and ate Hannah, who secretly followed her. Luo Xian said that he had some regrets.

Geralt shook his head slightly, "This is her explanation, in fact, she could have thought of this ending in her heart." ”

"She wants Neren to kill Hannah? That's her own sister!"

"Love is not only blind, but also selfish, it can blind people's eyes and hearts, so demon hunters who have abandoned most of their feelings will not be controlled by feelings, we only believe in the facts. ”

"And you let the werewolf go, and Nelan was with Hannah's sister?"

"You guessed it wrong, but Neeron was silent for a while, and then suddenly he burst out and killed the little girl. ”

"Killed Hannah's sister?!You didn't stop it?"

"Luo Xian, this is my choice. I could have stopped it, but I gave up. After killing the little girl, Nealon begged me to end his life, and I finally granted his wish. ”

So, the end of this story is that all three people are dead. What a reunion. Nelan died, and you didn't get the pay you deserved, but because of a real answer, two people who should have been married and living happily together died, and they did it for nothing. If you had listened to Hannah's sister, ended the investigation, and went back to tell Neren that Hannah was killed by a wolf in the forest, then there would be no such thing. ”

"No ifs, Rosen, this is just a small story that I have encountered in my decades of adventure. I am telling you this because I want to tell you that it doesn't matter whether you live or die, what matters is the good and evil that is hidden underneath, and that is the essence of life. ”

"Essence?" Luo Xian listened to Geralt's story, looked down at the black notebook, and understood something, "White wolf, you should have seen some other interesting things, let's hear it"

"Although most of them are trivial things, but there are also some very bloody things, you must know that some of my clients are nobles, and they happen between them."

The two were chatting passionately when they suddenly felt a tremor on the ground, and soon after, the sound of horses' hooves sounded in their ears, and it seemed that a new group of guests had arrived in the village.

Several customers who were eating at the hotel table did not have time to finish the food in front of them, so they immediately stood up and left through the back door of the hotel.

At this time, the innkeeper also walked quickly to the table of the two with this rag in his hand, and said with a look of embarrassment, "Guests, leave quickly, I will help you open the back door!"

Luo Xian picked up a glass of beer, "I've just drunk half of my wine, boss, two more glasses, it tastes good." With that, he handed over a few more coins, which of course had been scavenged from the corpse.

As soon as he finished saying this, the wooden door of the inn was pushed open with a force, and the wooden door made a dull sound against the wall.

"Boss, get on vodka! two bottles per person!" several men in one-piece armor walked in, and with a glance they saw the innkeeper and Luo Xian.
